[steel mica]

Make backup portals, and bring portal materials when exploring

[fallow schooner]

yeah, I used backup portals, it's teh only way I made it there.

Is there a trick to get a lox onto a ship or into a portal? I tamed one at my plains base, problem is I have no way to move it back to my main base?

[steel mica]

Tamed animals cant go through portal

You can take a lox onto a longship but be weary as it can destroy the boat as you travel

Tbh its not worth it taking a lox to the mistlands because the terrain is very mountainous

[fallow schooner]

I'd need a royal navy ship of the line to haul a lox, lol.

or a galleon

[steel mica]

You can fit up to 2 lox

Onto a longship

But hauling them is the big issue

[fallow schooner]

it won't capsize the ship on high seas?

watching a lox drown might be pretty funny though

[steel mica]

Boats dont care about entities on boats

You can have as many lox stacked on top of each other and it wont capsize

But a small wooden cart full of mineral goodies can capsize it

Well rather slow it down

[burnt glen]

that's horrible

[steel mica]

They have stamina and won't drown unless you drain their stamina via riding

[fallow schooner]

naw, for me that would be a nelson "haha" moment

[steel mica]

Then they will drown

Simply put, its not worth taking them via boat

Its best to just find a nearby plains biome and tame another one there and breed them

You'll mostly be walking via foot in the mistlands and climbing up the rocks

[fallow schooner]

the plains continent borders the continent my main base is on by a short distance, maybe I could make an earthen causeway, using raise terrain with the hoe?

It would probably take a couple hrs of real time to do that.

[steel mica]

Just make them swim

They have like iirc 200+ stamina

Enough to cover a short distance of water

Bringing them via boat is doable

Just takes a ton of time and patience

Anyways the went off topic

@fallow schooner What do you wanna know about the mistlands?

[fallow schooner]

I'm missing materials to craft the new armor sets, are they in those towers you mentioned?

[paper marsh]

Eh it’s not too terrible. You can get iron tier knife from the ocean and swamp tier food by just sailing along the edge of swamp, hopping out to grab turnips on the shore, then sailing off again

That gets you started with a swamp weapon and food. Still kinda rough, but once you get root chest it becomes a ton easier and once you get iron you can upgrade to mistlands/plains tier food (serpent meat)

I struggle more in Black Forest tbh. But I also don’t cheese things with bows

[raven dagger]

I hate having to flatten land, ugh

[fallow schooner]

There was a small snow biome near my starting area, and I managed to snag and tame a 1 star wolf fairly early. I got one to aggro, and it chased me back to my base and fell into the moat, and I just blocked him off in the pit.

they helped me to kill trolls & bears.

lost a few wolves, but bread more of them. The ones that died & left a trophy are immortalized above my fireplace. Good dogs go to valhalla.

wolf dies fighting a troll or a bear, it's valhalla-bound.

[steel mica]

You have 3 main resources you need to gather

Blackcores
Sap
Soft tissue

Blackcores, can be found in infested mines which is the biome's dungeons, they come in a variety of structures so keep a look out, if the structure has seeker guarding it then its an infested mine

Sap, these are gathered from the glowing roots you see in the mistlands, you will need an item that was mentioned by Omni, sap is the primary resource for crafting all the new stuff in the mistlands

Soft tissue, these can be gathered via the giant remains primarily from the skull, this is the second important resource in accessing mistlands gear

Lastly dvergrs, these are neutral entities found primarily in the mistlands, they come in 2 forms, rogue and mages, encountering them at first they will be friendly towards you but hurt anyone of them ir destroy any structures near the vicinity of their ward they will get very angry at you and will now turn hostile and attack you on site

Dvergrs are primarily found near their settlements which can come in a variety of styles depending on the location of the structure

They can also spawn in the flat-ish areas of the mistlands either as a duo or a solo, they can also be found in those wisp light post you see around the mistlands, which can spawn either of the two dvergr variants

Thats pretty much everything you need to know in terms of progression

Wall of text im sorry mods 😭

[raven dagger]

Is it just Dvergr from that settlement, or do all Dvergr turn hostile?

[exotic marsh]

there's a unique interaction in the game which alerts a radius of Dvergr actually. Not all will be hostile though, certainly. Likely not even another outpost a few meters away will take note, however they will indefinitely be hostile at THAT outpost

[paper marsh]

Just from the one settlement

But even one settlement of dvergr can be realllll dangerous. Careful

[raven dagger]

Good to know, was just curious if it was global, XD

[exotic marsh]

You always coullllllld... just get a Gya l to blow upp their roof perhaps... 🤫

[dusty frost]

do boar farms work anymore?

[raven otter]

I hate waiting ;-;

[steel mica]

Getting a 3 bonus yield feast is absolute luck

[loud surge]

Morning gjall

[loud surge]

Yeah even though they may need some tweaks

[dusty frost]

ive been messing with one for 3 hours with no luck

[loud surge]

Are you making the one where the boars are like 6 meters high?

[dusty frost]

yes

[loud surge]

I can try to help u with that one

What's the problem

[dusty frost]

i cant get the boars to stay facing the same direction

they keep doing 180s

[loud surge]

Well that's strange tbh

I don't know what to say
Maybe try to place a small block behind them

/on the sides

[dusty frost]

been trying that

secondary issue

they really struggle to see the food

[loud surge]

Oh yeah I've had that one

[dusty frost]

doors SEEM to show more promise at least

[loud surge]

I just replaced the walls with iron cages

But about the moving, idk what to do maybe try to watch a tutorial and make sure everything is right

[dusty frost]

I have which is why IDK why its not working

the tutorials are all a year old plus

do you have any screenshots of a working farm

as in, working rn, not working 3 patches ago

[wet wolf]

are spears better than atgeirs?

[loud surge]

Depends on what spear and what atgeir and where

[loud surge]

Not really

Good luck though

[wet wolf]

rn im still in bronze age

[loud surge]

Also you should go to #valheim-help

[loud surge]

Hmm, well In that case go with the atgeir.

It's the best bronze weapon of all time

And honestly, I don't use spears after the flint spear. When you go into the mistlands it might be a good thing to craft a spear

[dusty frost]

the new bear claws are absolutely god tier

[loud surge]

[dusty frost]

im killing plains enemies with them

granted, its the trash, but still

it parries mountain tier enemies no problem

[loud surge]

But there is only one super god weapon

The frostner

[long peak]

[loud surge]

[long peak]

what do you think about the mistwalker

[loud surge]

I mean it is very good

Maybe better than frostner

Actually 100% better

[long peak]

frotner but with less knockback with slash 😂

[loud surge]

In this community, we love all weapons

||maybe except for some spears...||

[long peak]

XD

my first main was spears + axes

[loud surge]

And axes too

[long peak]

now its Clubs + Axes

[loud surge]

They're for the wood man

[dusty frost]

I have tried there

[loud surge]

Aight

[long peak]

but its a viking game maannn 😭

[loud surge]

Well yeah alright 😓

[long peak]

as a club player using axe against a abomination feels so good

[loud surge]

True

I'm a deadbeat frostner lover

[long peak]

i identfy as
Frost/ner/lover

[loud surge]

Yes

[loud surge]

Check my account

[long peak]

btw do you use it until ashlands or switch it in mistlands

[loud surge]

I honestly don't know I haven't went that far yet I myself am kind of a new player

But the spirit damage is god

[long peak]

ahahahah just saw that

[loud surge]

My only problem with the frostner is that It requires spending 600 coins

[long peak]

nuh i think frost makes it god

[loud surge]

That too

[long peak]

what 600 coins ? oh flesh of ymir ?

[loud surge]

Yeah

but its so worth

[long peak]

idk i have 3 blackmetal chest of gold its never an issue for me

[loud surge]

DAMN

[long peak]

its a one time thing not important

[loud surge]

sir mind you tell me how much hours you have and what stage of autism do you suffer from

[long peak]

i dont know how people having issue with gold

[loud surge]

😭

[long peak]

just 1300 hours 😛

[loud surge]

but like fr how many hours do you have

[long peak]

and planing to play more

[loud surge]

aw hell naw

[long peak]

i am autistic enough to abuse frostner 😛

[loud surge]

me too

[long peak]

i have 100 level clubs at this point

[loud surge]

crazy gang over here 😛😛😛😛😛

[long peak]

💯

if you played valheim over 50 hours you are %95 gonna play more

[loud surge]

i have played like 166

and it WILL go up

i feel so crazy sometimes

[long peak]

btw if you are new definitly check daggers and atgeirs in your next playthrou

[loud surge]

im not that new sir

[long peak]

i dont know :d

[loud surge]

[long peak]

166 hours is so low if you ask me 😛

make it a 1000 😛

[loud surge]

believe me i will 😛😛😛😛

[raven dagger]

I expect the answer is no, but is there a way to make it so you see Map Pings for longer?

Or another way to make it so the map will indicate a chosen spot is in a certain direction, even when it is out of range to be on the visible minimap?

[long peak]

unfortuneatly as i know there is not a thing for this

[loud surge]

nope

[raven dagger]

Uggggh

That would be really nice…

[long peak]

my friend was mad about that too

[loud surge]

i mean you can use the buttons < and > to change the size of the minimap

[raven dagger]

…I wonder which buttons those correspond to on steamdeck, XD

[loud surge]

dang

[raven dagger]

Steamdeck is the perfect way to play Valheim, imo

Figured out the Steamdeck buttons for what you mentioned, by the way.

You can zoom the minimap out to PLANET scale?!

[white hearth]

after many long long weeks in the ashlands we finished fader. now onto 7 days to die next week

many deaths and fader moving miles and miles away from his spawn

[steel mica]

Heavy + Magic build is strong

[long peak]

congurlates

💯

[raven dagger]

Do mushrooms respawn in the same spots?

[long peak]

yes

[raven dagger]

Got it, mark spots with high concentrations.

Thanks!

[long peak]

a lot of things respawn btw flints berries etc*

[glass plinth]

They respawn again after about 5 hours

real time

[raven dagger]

Yeah, I just wasn’t sure if it was a ‘New mushrooms spawn in that biome’ situation, rather than the same exact ones respawning

[glass plinth]

But sleeping and waking up in-game speeds up the timer

[long peak]

now thats a nice info that i wasnt aware of

but its makes sense tho they use the same game tick system with other things

[glass plinth]

Each in-game day takes 30 minutes

21 minutes of daytime and 9 minutes of nighttime

[long peak]

when you say that now its ehh not so effective

[white hearth]

It's mostly just the endless constant spawning. Even if you get rid of the spawners you still have fallen Valkyries etc. I really wish the undead minions were not on the same faction as the animals

[snow aurora]

yoo wanna pvp? with the frostner? same gear

[loud surge]

bro what

no i dont wanna pvp with you

[snow aurora]

bruh

[snow aurora]

I find it much more fun running straight towards fader with a melee build

[steel mica]

Dont get me wrong Im a melee build fan myself

I like the 2-handed swords

But knowing how busted magic is

Combing both magic and heavy build

Is just chef's kiss imo

[snow aurora]

I love blunt and the axes

the queen was MUCH more annoying to beat than Fader. Couldn't get one melee hit in without getting swatted several meters away. Had to cheese the queen

[cunning umbra]

Sometimes i just wish valheim was RL, its such a vibe and i hate cities anyways

[steel mica]

The ads and her knockback

Try using bilebombs and ooze bombs nexttime

[snow aurora]

need to try it

[glass plinth]

If you want to secure an area and stop constant spawns, put workbenches or spawn blockers around it at regular intervals

Creatures cannot spawn within the area of workbenches and similar objects

[fluid jungle]

Hello everyone

[long peak]

hi

[long peak]

guys do you think wolf meat and boar meat farm worth doing them ?

[long peak]

to be honest if you dont plant o wait at a spesific biome for longer on purpose you are usualy having enough resources to finish the biome without taming a one

[pliant hatch]

Having tamed boars can be useful as their meat can help you with foods to carry you through 3 biomes. Plus the leather scraps they drop are very useful in the Mistlands. (Or Sealed tower if you want to do that in Plains gear).
Wolves are useful as guardians of your base, but eventually you barely use them in the plains as even there they're quite fast out leveled.

On the other hand, when going hunting you may end up with the same amounts of items you get from your tamed ones.
And the best tamed ones are the two stars, since they drop double items; but they're hard to find.
So it's a choice with willing to spend time to get the right ones and starting a group of it or ignoring that and occasionally going out to hunt.

[long peak]

so to be honest in my playthroughs i never had any issues about wolf and lox meat but i had so many times problem with boars tho but never needed them after swamp

[pliant hatch]

You can use the leather scraps after swamp when they're used in the Oozebombs.

[exotic marsh]

Anyone looking for another chill lightly modded dedi server?

[steel mica]

Depends really but if you can atleast tame them its good for the long run

You dont need em but you can have em if you want

[civic wraith]

What’s the over under on deep north being a 2026 release? Asking for a friend.

[merry pebble]

We have no idea

[fast crescent]

New player here, reading the chat for past 2 days makes me realize I've barely scratched the surface heading into black forest 😭😂

I'm sitting here struggling with grey dwarfs and homie describes the mistlands as vikings meets starship troopers lmao

[nocturne wolf]

why do bears and viles regenerate faster

[visual cairn]

I'm new to this discord. Sorry for asking, but do we have any idea when the full release is coming? Patch 1.0?

[feral grove]

No timeframe has been given.

[wispy tree]

Is it crazy to think that it's not that hard to run out of iron in your world?

[feral grove]

There are several ways to get it, though once all mine-able iron runs dry, your options do get much more limited.

[paper marsh]

big bulky bear

[paper marsh]

yes

Can't run out of renewable resources

Well, at least not this one

running out of the best sources of it though (Crypts and rusted swords/armor in mistlands) is plenty possible, but I feel like that's not really gonna happen unless you have a lot of people on the server

[wispy tree]

Is there? I'm really only aware of barrows and the scrap piles in them

[wispy tree]

but like, if you're just struggling your way through the game your first time, if you lose everything like 2 or 3 times, you might not be able to recover at all

I guess you'd still be able to farm up root armor

[feral grove]

Are you playing with the difficulty setting that fully deletes your inventory on death?

[paper marsh]

Some fish drop iron when you catch them and Oozers drop it too

[paper marsh]

I suppose if you're playing hardcore it would get tougher. I still doubt a singleplayer would really run out if they're not doing an extravagant building project or osmething though

[wispy tree]

No, but I've had some experiences where my gear just wasn't recoverable

[wispy tree]

what kind of weapons can you make in swamp tier without iron?

[paper marsh]

Like your tombstone just bugged out and disappeared?

[paper marsh]

Abyssal razor is pretty good

One weapon doesn't take much iron though

[wispy tree]

idk what happened, it's usually a problem if I die in the water. Like I've died off the coast of the swamp and not been able to recover my gear, I think it sank somehow

[paper marsh]

It should float, but ngl it can be buggy sometimes. In particular if you alt+f4 right after dying, the tombstone ends up bugging out

[wispy tree]

When it happened and I couldn't find my stuff, I just rolled back my world, it costed me an hour or two of progress, but saved me tons of time rebuilding

honestly, I'm really not a fan of the entire concept of losing all your gear when you die, both with you having to go pick it up, and it just getting deleted. I think it's just not a fun gameplay mechanic.

I'm also very annoyed with raids, but I understand that's easy to just turn off.

[paper marsh]

Different mindsets I suppose. I don't remember the exact settings, but can't you mitigate a lot of that by lowering the deathpenalty?

Personally I feel like death isn't too punishing, and I play on permadeath (delete character/world on death)

[wispy tree]

I think the lowest setting is that you don't lose anything you have equipped

[paper marsh]

Sounds like that would help

[wispy tree]

It does, but it does still leave you vulnerable to losing a stack of scrap iron

[wispy tree]

Tbh, this is de facto how I play any game like this. If I have a big enough loss, I just say screw it and stop playing or start over

This'd crush me in a game as slow as Valheim though.

[brittle otter]

the only time ive ever even considered it was when we had 7 people going on a server at once. but even then we just hunted and foraged when we were going places and never ran out.

[shadow rivet]

i can't wait to play on ps5

[paper marsh]

Whats so special about ps5?

[near furnace]

valheim comes to PS5 this year

[paper marsh]

Ye I know that just wondering how its much different from PC or Xbox

[near furnace]

identical

we make no changes or special adaptations

[craggy vortex]

hi guys

[near furnace]

hello

[smoky saddle]

Oh damn! I take it we wont have the ability to import characters?

[raven otter]

Heya guys

[near furnace]

unsure but don't think so 🤔

not sure how you could get the files onto a PS5

since steam version saves on Steam-cloud
Xbox in microsoft cloud services
playstation in Sony-cloud services

[wispy tree]

I don't think it's possible to share save files for any game across platforms, unless you're talking about games like War Thunder where everything is online

[raven otter]

Um how soon is a ps5 version? Or is it wrong to ask those types of questions in here?

[merry pebble]

We only know it will be this year 🙂

[near furnace]

valheim is better then IMHO

since you can have files in cloud, store them locally or both

[smoky saddle]

Perhaps that might be the way to go about it. A Valheim account to connect and transfer progress.

Id probably stick with PC anyway because I still use a controller on it

[near furnace]

there is no such thing as a valheim account tho

[wispy tree]

Hmm if the files can be in the cloud, then I wonder if you can migrate them between platforms

[near furnace]

if you can unload, yes

[wispy tree]

interesting

[smoky saddle]

I know, but they could add it if they wanted to have a way to transfer progress

[near furnace]

but unsure if PS uses a diffrent file style

[grave ruin]

guys where can i find a online pvp server

[smoky saddle]

You could technically transfer progress if you dropped all your stuff in a chest and then grabbed it from your console, but youd have 0 skills

[near furnace]

--> #1024264966712340510

[grave ruin]

oh

[near furnace]

true

[pliant hatch]

You might find one in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510
However, PvP isn't something this game is designed for, so chances are that there will be not many or none at all.

[grave ruin]

ight thx

[timber marsh]

is the final boss gonna be jormungandr

that would be EPIC

[merry pebble]

Welp, considering he is on Midgard... That would be strange 😄

[sharp bluff]

game would probably croak upon loading him in

[timber marsh]

awww killing my dreams

[merry pebble]

Sorry

[near furnace]

the final boss will be

||very bossy||

[clear brook]

I get sooo unlucky with the wind while sailing on this game😂

[lone rampart]

The final boss will be a life-size Smiffe plushie

[frozen fable]

I almost feel like the game is programmed to make the wind go against you every time you take the boat out

[near furnace]

yes

but no

[brittle otter]

console commands can fix that lol

there would really be no loss besides the world file, unless someone does figure out a way to get those on playstation as well.

[near furnace]

cheatsword would one-shot them

or kill-all command. but that is sometimes bad to use if the enemies spawned are 50 star or worse since they would spam 1000000000's of items 😄

[brittle otter]

you havent killed moder yet?

i always pop moder the second im actually into ocean biome just to guarantee i can get at least to a reliable current lol

[frozen fable]

no i have over 1600 hours i just started a new world for fun and i'm in the swamps now

[clear brook]

What do y'alls maps look like? I'm genuinely curious how much of the map y'all explore

[paper marsh]

I explore quite a bit, I like to find spots with a lot of good resources in proximity, find all merchants, etc.

Though I don’t really walk/sail back and forth over the same general area 5 times to ensure that every pixel of fog of war has been removed

[snow aurora]

Do I really need armor to roam the black forest and mine copper? I find grinding meadows for deer hide quite tiring

[paper marsh]

Not necessarily no. I wouldn’t worry much about meadows armor

Definitely wanna get some Black Forest armor at some point though, there’s 3 options to choose from

[snow aurora]

It's a new playthrough but modded, got a crude bow, fire arrows, flint battleaxe and flint club

The nights have fuling spawns

[paper marsh]

Don’t think having likr 6 armor from grinding a bit extra meadows will help you much with fulings

[merry pebble]

I usually just go with crude bow for few trolls, once you have gone through the game once or twice they are easy enough to kill

Or flint spear if you want to roll upclose 🙂

[snow aurora]

Yeah but I hate it when the earth starts shaking and when I look up I see a troll that snuck up on me while mining

[merry pebble]

You dont have to worry about that until you kill Elder

[sharp bluff]

i prefer an atgeir against trolls tbh
makes killing them absolutely braindead

[snow aurora]

No no I meant like trolls sneak up on me when I'm mining XD

[merry pebble]

Since both Troll and Elder have to be killed in a world for the raid to happen

[merry pebble]

-# Pre BF 😉

[sharp bluff]

meh, i tend to avoid skipping biomes

early root armour is also kinda busted if you can grab it

[paper marsh]

Is it?

[merry pebble]

Well, you can totaly encounter trolls in meadows gear... You cant skip biome when going from first to second
@sharp bluff

[paper marsh]

I don't find too much pierce or poison in black forest. Not to the point where resistance feels busted

Maybe if you like bow spam, bow levels do give quite a bit. Though I'd say you can beat just about anything with a bow regardless of levels

[swift fulcrum]

Anyone got a good recommendation for wisplight mod ? like the dezzmistyballs one lol

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might 🙂

[sharp bluff]

the free archery levels are kinda bs

[paper marsh]

It'll make things go faster for sure but I have a hard time seeing it changing the outcome of any fights, at least changing it enough to warrant taking on the swamps for long enough to find and defeat several abominations

[sharp bluff]

no more oneshots cuz a random 2 star shoots you in the back and innate poison resistance are also kinda nice

[woven storm]

any clue when the deep north update is coming? winter is almost over

[inland igloo]

Winter is never over

[woven storm]

oh right

https://tenor.com/view/winter-is-coming-jon-snow-game-of-thrones-got-gif-16908557

[merry pebble]

No we dont, no timeline given by devs 🙂

[white hearth]

That was unfortunate. I lagged out and lost my tombstone with my stuff in it so the host just let me bring in another character

Ashland was not fun. Hopefully the deep north is not as cancerous

[rare lichen]

I find that the biome coming out makes the biome before it feel really fun.
For example, when Ashlands came out, I really enjoyed how the Mistlands felt knowing something is after it

Maybe itll be similar for Deep North 🙂
Could make Ashlands more interesting by giving another place to use the weapons and whatnot

[sharp bluff]

the advanced pointy stick may also finally become a decent weapon

[paper marsh]

One can hope

I mean, it's already a pretty kickass weapon. Just not in Ashlands 😔

[cobalt zealot]

It is me or are Mounts basically broken/useless?

[paper marsh]

Haven't used them much, but they seem okay for their use cases. To get around slightly faster and have someone to fight by your side when you get there

[cobalt zealot]

Spent a bunch of time taming a both wolves, lox and asksvin - Even when I tell them to stay they instantly run off to attack things (especially the Asksvins).

In the Ashlands, they run off into the Lave where I can reach them... I can't call them... they aggro everything and then die.

I just got a 2 Star Asksvin (after 20+ hours of seeking for one) and now I'm afraid to use it as my other ones have all died horrible stupid deaths.

[oblique zinc]

keep askvin in the pen so they don't run off. Use saddle to ride them around lava and don't let them do their own thing unless you have plenty to spare (relatively easy to have a bunch)

[cobalt zealot]

I had a 1 Star that even after telling it to "stay" aggroed to a Morgan and died quickly.

[paper marsh]

Sounds like you're looking for an army of pets, not mounts

Trying to command an army of pets can be a bit wonky, intentionally so as devs want you to fight for yourself, not have others do it for you. Still breeding a bunch of wolves can be used to easily cheese bosses and such if you really want

But riding a single lox or askvin around is fine. Askvin are also immune to lava

[cobalt zealot]

No. Im looking to ride a tame out. One, not multiple. Stop. Get off and NOT suddenly have my mount running around aggroing things. I dont think thats unreasonable.

[paper marsh]

That's fair yeah, that's been suggested a lot too. But even with them running off and agroing they're useful imo

The thing is they're pretty easy to breed too so even if you lose one while out adventuring you can just grab another when you get home

They're not gonna save you from much or make your life 1000x easier, but they help you out a tad

[raven dagger]

I don’t suppose there’s a graphics setting to make branches and such invisible if they’re too close to the camera…? Not seeing one…

[rotund parrot]

What I'd do is take one of the bred askvin out, go where I need to go set up a portal, hop off, take off the saddle and just let him do whatever it wants.

[cobalt zealot]

I think the auto/aggro thing is the biggest issue for me. I can accept that they aren't meant to be a pack animal or a fighting animal... but I just want to be able to take it out and not suddenly lose it because it got itself into trouble... sigh

[warm dome]

can someone give me good stuff in valheim im new

[raven dagger]

Or some settings to make traveling through heavily forested areas less awful? I like to have my point of view a little further from my character, but then branches obscure my vision constantly.

[oblique zinc]

here is some good stuff - build shelter, rest, explore, don't die

[warm dome]

bro

[raven dagger]

If you’re new, giving you later gear would actively be doing you a disservice.

[paper marsh]

Agreed. It would be cool if you could set up to two tames on "stay" mode where they won't agro anything

[warm dome]

lik e i got the first boos

i got the first boss

and the stuff

[oblique zinc]

i ain't your bro, pal .. but seriously good stuff comes from progress, dropping you a flametal sword not going to teach you how to play the game

[paper marsh]

I'd heavily recommend just playing through the game and progressing normally, but if you really wanna go get endgame stuff in the first biome you can search up "valheim how to activate devcommands" and spawn in whatever you want

[raven dagger]

So you head to a Black Forest biome next, and look for dungeons!

Maybe a way to make trees more translucent in general, please?

[oblique zinc]

you can chop the trees - no trees, no problem

[raven dagger]

Yes, but adding ‘Chop all trees in every area I ever go to’ would make this game much less enjoyable…

I cleared out the trees around my base, before planting some orderly ones, but that doesn’t help me anywhere else.

[paper marsh]

I don't think there's any such setting. But at least you only really have to deal with an excess of trees in blackforest and parts of meadows. The rest of the biomes should be okay

[oblique zinc]

maybe try changing the angle you look at so it's not too steep ?

[raven dagger]

Mm… darn. I took like, a 3 year long break from the game, and came back to experience all the updates, but that still means going through another Meadows/Forest phase, XD

[oblique zinc]

You can be done with meadow/bf phase in like 30 Valheim days

[raven dagger]

I’m a bit of a slow progresser, I meander a lot

Do deer need the trees to spawn?

[oblique zinc]

no

[raven dagger]

Thank goodness, I’ll go through with clear cutting some zones to rotate through to farm em then

I despise enemies, who have things I want, that only run away.

Where’s my Skyrim Fury/Courage spells, XD

[livid juniper]

damn me and my homie at 40 and just about to leave

[oblique zinc]

you can take it slow, nothing wrong with that.

[livid juniper]

first time

[raven dagger]

Can be, not Should be

[vast jewel]

Yello.

[raven dagger]

He was just giving a reasonable time frame for someone in a rush

[paper marsh]

tbh first time for sure take your time with everything. There's no rush

[raven dagger]

This is my first run without my brother in law explaining everything, and like I said, it’s been years, haha

[livid juniper]

i think i got horrible rng tho cuz i had to do a far far run throughout the mountains to get to the elder

[paper marsh]

Horrible run or lack of experience. Sounds very weird if you couldn't just go around the mountains

But most times Elder is a pretty far run/sail

[raven dagger]

There might have been a close-ish island to raft to, alternatively, but who knows

[livid juniper]

i tried everything but sailing bc sailing in the raft takes a while 😅

[paper marsh]

Yeah the raft is pretty terrible. Have you found bronze yet though? Should be able to make a much better sea vessel than a raft if you're ready to take on Elder

[livid juniper]

yeah yeah im almost past the bronze age just gotta wait for my homie to hop back on so we can slaughter him

[paper marsh]

I recommend making some bronze nails sometime soon if you haven't

[vast jewel]

Finally built my first base.

[livid juniper]

i have once we kill the elder i think the friggin swamp is next

[raven dagger]

Like, base, or house?

[livid juniper]

i accidently went there in search of bloodbags

[raven dagger]

Yep, swamp is after black forest, unless I’m mistaken

[paper marsh]

horrible experience I'm guessing?

[livid juniper]

first time lol

[vast jewel]

A mix. It is ontop of a dungeon cave.

[raven dagger]

You know those don’t refill, right?

[livid juniper]

im having fun

im like 25 hrs deep

[raven dagger]

How many berry bushes need to be clustered somewhere for ya’ll to bother marking the spot?

[odd flare]

Is it possible to skip the mountain and do plains first? I hate this damn place

[raven dagger]

Probably possible, but likely difficult

[paper marsh]

like 3-4? Although I'd say a bigger concern of mine is if they're nearby other groups of bushes.

I'd rather have 4 groups of 4 bushes in close proximity, than one group of 6

[raven dagger]

Hmm. Makes sense, for basic raspberries, I’ve been marking spots with 6 or more bushes grouped together.

Does rain help stealth?

[vast jewel]

I don't believe so.

[raven dagger]

No Breath of the Wild logic, drat, XD

[vast jewel]

Stealth so far in my experience is purely based on visibility.

[paper marsh]

@winter jungle taking the convo here because it's not suggestion related. Been at it a while very on and off, I've probably had like 40+ worlds. A lot of them ended in like black forest / early swamp, but if I made it past that I usually made it pretty far.

I've made it up to mistlands on vhard permadeath

I find permadeath makes things interesting because you really gotta do your best at every point, and prepare for every fight. Doing it at high difficulty is a bit masochistic, but I do some little challenges that I find make things more interesting. One I'm particularly fond of is using no elemental resist meads

[winter jungle]

do you have map on or off ?

because most ppl i see turn it on despite it's not suggested by the hardcore settings

[vast jewel]

I'm considering starting a new run with it off.

[winter jungle]

with permadeath and hardcore settings or just normal and map off ?

[vast jewel]

I'm on edge about doing it though because you can't craft a portable map as far as I'm aware.

[vast jewel]

Normal and map off. I never play higher difficulties unless there is a reward for doing so.

[winter jungle]

fair enough xD

[vast jewel]

Too much time on Legendary Skyrim with no reward incentive.

[winter jungle]

u still trying it or gave up on it ?

[paper marsh]

It's a very different pretty cool experience, but I wouldn't say it's particularly difficult just very time consuming. I play with map usually

Still trying but taking breaks here and there. Right now taking a break from valheim

[vast jewel]

More people would disable the map if you could craft 1 in game.

[winter jungle]

map you could draw yourself in game sounds very cool ngl

[paper marsh]

This is my most recent run, kinda masochistic but I find it fun:

Settings:
Very Hard Difficulty
No Boss portals
Raid Rate more
Fire Hazards on

Rules:

• No Resistance Meads
• No dying
• No Atgeir
• No Bow
• No Staff of Protection
• No Cheesing
• No Terrain Walls
• No Excessive Pet tactics
• No cheesing skill training
• No bombs inside dungeons / no cheesing with bombs. New blob spawning bombs are fine, due to trophies being limited.
• No spamming ranged spears
• No Excessive spawn proofing
• No portalling out of dire situations

General ideas:
Try to switch weapons often between biomes to be jack of all traits
Try to make bases off of the current environment / structures and use local fauna for defense

[vast jewel]

Yeah, or maybe even a compass.

[raven dagger]

There’s a frikkin Cartography Table, but it only does things to the map built into your character, which is sad…

[vast jewel]

I know Cartography Table exists, but it is static and you can't take it with you.

[paper marsh]

I did 1 no map run once, and hand drawing your own map is pretty fun

The yggdrassil tree in the sky kinda functions as a general guide / compass

[winter jungle]

sounds like a knifes run

[tacit crystal]

Knives are fun.

[paper marsh]

knife spear axe fists sword crossbow magic etc.

I like to switch it up a lot. I think spears and fist weapons are my favorite though

trying to get myself to like maces but its hard

[winter jungle]

also no resistance mead sounds alike alot tbh , like for the swamp is very skippabble i agree but the mountain ? don't you have to cheese it with campfires untill you get a good fernis cave to make fernis set ?

and fire resistance mead also

are you just not using the root harnesk or you sawp armor mid fight ?

because yag gajhils and fader i would say exteremly hard without fire resistant mead

[vast jewel]

Bows in this game sort of ruin the experience.

I'm considering going sword and shield in a new run.

Get a few QOL mods that make sense too.

[winter jungle]

Do a sparaten run :3

[paper marsh]

I'd say campfires until you get one silver vein and can make wolf chest piece.

And I wouldn't say its too cheesy because surviving on campfires is a lot tougher than downing a frost resist mead

The cool thing about no resistance meads is that your armor choice actually matters. Want poison resist in swamp? Get root helmet. Want fire resist for yag fight? Better get a fenris set.

And most importantly it makes the all too OP root harnesk a little weaker yeah. I run it basically at all times after moutnains, but you do have to be careful of fire. Also good to pay attention to your environment, taking a dip in the ocean for wet effect is a life saver

[winter jungle]

would you say getting wolf cape easier or a piece of fernis armour ?

[paper marsh]

yag fenris, gjalls I rarely get hit by but will take a dip in the ocean before fighting (also found out that you're basically invulnerable to fire while IN the ocean, very fun with fins of destiny).

Fader I haven't fought on these settings yet, but tbh he does so much damage especially on vhard I don't think fire resistance or weakness will make any difference. Gonna try for a no hit run probably, might use magic. The one issue with magic is I don't use bubble and magic requires eitr, which means I don't have enough HP to survive any hits so really gotta be on my guard

[winter jungle]

defindly not impossiable but you have to be almost perfect with it

[paper marsh]

eh probably wolf cape because fenris you need the full set. but wolf cape is rng on trophy drops

I like silver wolf chestpiece because its just silver, no caves or rng

[tacit crystal]

Fenris requires getting bit lucky with finding early caves and enough hair inside them, but there are ways to clear them easily even with lower tier gear.

[winter jungle]

🫡

[vast jewel]

Full Viking run.

[winter jungle]

you don't need the full set to get resistance against the cold / frost

[tacit crystal]

Fenris chest piece grants frost resistance.

[vast jewel]

Going to get the Azu Hover Stats and Recycle & Reclaim mods and see if there is any compas and tent mods.

[paper marsh]

oh true. Does the set ALSO give frost resist, or is that a wiki typo?

[tacit crystal]

The set grants fire res.

[paper marsh]

or is that me misreading the set bonus

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might help with that 🙂

[winter jungle]

naa i just tried it the chest piece does give you frost resistance

[paper marsh]

It was me miserading it. Set bonus lists bonus from set and individual pieces

[tacit crystal]

Wiki mentioned, Asatru arrived.

[smoky saddle]

Resilient moonshine jamboree is super fun!

[raven dagger]

Is modding still a pain for Steamdeck?

[merry pebble]

Wiki? Where? 👀
-# I honestly didnt notice xD

[winter jungle]

what does this mean ?

[raven dagger]

Installing mods by going into the directory and then having to redirect the Exe and such?

[tacit crystal]

I was kidding lol, just coincidence. But here mentioned before you typed. #valheim-chat message

[merry pebble]

That is also something folks in #mods-discussion might be helpful with 😄

[winter jungle]

just use r2modman or thunderstorm

[raven dagger]

No clue what those are yet

[winter jungle]

apps

mod mangamget apps

for games

[raven dagger]

I hope they don’t hate Linux like the Skyrim mod managers do

[winter jungle]

can't help you with that i am on Pathetic windous laptop 😔

[raven dagger]

I just find it sad that Steam likes Linux for its own devices, but so much community support ignores it.

[winter jungle]

do you skip any bosses ? or you don't allow it for youself because of no cheese rule ?

[paper marsh]

I biome skip a heck of a lot, especially to get some food upgrades

I play on either max or increased raid rate usually and really hate the permanent annoying raids bonemass unlocks like bats and surtlings and such so I tend to fully skip him usually. Other bosses I often skip past to get some resources from the next biome first, but always go back to kill them. I don't care much for wisplight so I'm often in mistlands gear by the time I spawn yag

[winter jungle]

OH yes speaking of raids , where u make your base ?

under elder or you consider it as cheese ?

[smoky saddle]

I just turned off raids. I get that theyre part of the game but I dont like building something and have it all wrecked by trolls or something

Happened once, never again

[winter jungle]

raids are just free delivery mats to your door ngl :3

[paper marsh]

Usually I just make my base whereever is convenient for gathering resources. Usually in meadows or plains, sometimes mistlands

I always live in such shitty starter shack houses until I unlock bronze, then I go on a huge sailing trip to find traders, leviathans, serpents (so much powerful shit you can get from sailing) as well as spotting a swamp with crypts near a tall mountains and a meadows nearby, to have my iron and silver grind be easy

I like to come up with creative defenses though. Once you take terrain walls/moats out of the equation there's so much fun base defense you can do

[winter jungle]

isn't sailing with karve annyoing though ?

maybe i am just spoiled from using long ships xD

[paper marsh]

nah Karve is pretty quick.

It usually doesn't take that much sailing to find some good stuff either

[raven dagger]

Whoa, how long have Bears been in the game? They were definitely not a thing when I last played, XD

[paper marsh]

Not all too long, only a few months 😉

[raven dagger]

Huh. New Black Forest enemy? Maybe another biome too?

…maybe multiple tiers of bears across several biomes…?

Can you tame/ride them?!

[paper marsh]

Maybe, maybe and maybe

Can certainly try to tame or ride them to find out

Latest biome though is Ashlands which was quite a while ago

[oblique zinc]

If you can scare a bear you can tame a bear

[raven dagger]

Damn, the bear must be able to tame me then

[tacit crystal]

Bears cannot be tamed thus not ridden either. They eat blueberries on ground tho.

[paper marsh]

image enters my head of a viking on a leash on all fours in a bears cave

[raven dagger]

Darn…

[raven dagger]

…||kinky||…

[oblique zinc]

way to spoil the dream .. build-a-bear petition perhaps

[paper marsh]

Might be a stretch to think there's multiple tiers of bears across biomes. Bears wouldn't really fit in anywhere but the forest I feel

[raven dagger]

Mountain Bears could have totally been a thing…

[winter jungle]

i wish they add a raid for bears if you ever broke any beehives xD

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, destroy beehive, bear gets killed in world could be trigger requirements.

[winter jungle]

i think they are saying those for deep north

like polar bears

just a theory though

[inland igloo]

1k health pool

[paper marsh]

Polar bear mistakes you for a salmon

[inland igloo]

Gets salmonized

[winter jungle]

polar bears are so brutal so

would be crazy

[raven dagger]

I see many photos of pure white Polar Bears…

…with a lot of blood on their faces…

[winter jungle]

you can make it work if you are surrouned by trees or rocks

@vast jewel

[inland igloo]

They just like eating cherries its not blood 😀

[raven dagger]

Ah yes, those… Polar Cherries.

Very hardy plant, that

[steel mica]

Polar bears are considered hyper carnivores so anything on sight is potential food so that includes your viking man, but that would honestly be dumb logically ingame that a polar will be stronger than a bf bear

I mean they are

[raven dagger]

Obv it would be a Dire Polar Bear

[inland igloo]

Imagine rune bears like those from elden ring

[vast jewel]

I eventually settled on a dungeon camp.

[winter jungle]

what are those

[raven dagger]

These Polar Bears aren’t native to Valheim, Odin thought these particular ones were awesome, so they got to come here after death, just like us.

[inland igloo]

Very big bears with runes

[winter jungle]

never played eldin ring or watched it just in case if i didn't want to spoiel myself for future i bet though i would never play that game

[inland igloo]

Simple as i could explain technically

[raven dagger]

In my head, Runes became alchemy circles from FMA, and you can imagine where my thoughts went after that, XD

[inland igloo]

Fma you mean full metal alchemist? Right? I think i know where you are pointing to

[winter jungle]

does making meads and poitions can be considred as alchemy ?

[inland igloo]

Yes i guess

[winter jungle]

not magic ?

or untill you get magic i guess

[inland igloo]

No as its a chemical reaction

[raven dagger]

I mean, Fantasy alchemy rather than FMA ‘Transmutation’ alchemy, but yeah

[inland igloo]

Some are magic reaction so i guess some can be considered magic alchemy

[tacit crystal]

Eitr infused bears? They could deal poison and lightning too.

[raven dagger]

There’s no real chemical reason for why I would use bags of congealed animal blood to make healing potions, really.

[winter jungle]

btw isn't the character in valheim considered like a dead human or something like this in the lore ?

why we still shit ton of poison damage if we tecninally aren't alife xD

[inland igloo]

You could say that

[raven dagger]

The poison is dead too, so it all checks out.

[winter jungle]

bear shooting fire balls from it's mouse

[winter jungle]

what xD

[raven dagger]

It vaguely sounded relevant in my head

[inland igloo]

You aint wrong tho

[winter jungle]

maybe beacuse our character still has tissue or life cells that could be inficted or burn

unlike a skeleton who posion doesn't affect it at all which make sense

[inland igloo]

Technically we are reborn from being dead

[raven dagger]

“It’s all like, metaphorical or something, man. You’re a ghost viking or something, but everything else is a ghost too! So it’s like, ghost poison getting to you, y’know what I mean, man?”

[winter jungle]

excatly

[winter jungle]

not very fun though :3

[raven dagger]

I bet the enemy is having a lot of fun poisoning you, so it balances out

[winter jungle]

i like the tid bits of lore thrown all over the world ngl

imagine a game theory video about valheim

maybe when 1.0 drops

[rare lichen]

Check out "Fader's Memory : A Valheim Theory" on YouTube 🙂

Slackabee made a cool compilation showing lore from runestones

[brittle otter]

im with you there. as someone who can spend dozens/hundreds of hours building i hate seeing my stuff get destroyed. i have considered just using a mod to make build pieces invincible instead, but then im just gonna abuse that for boss fights lol.

[rare lichen]

You can turn the raids off using the world modifier 🙂

Dont be ashamed of using world modifiers. They are in the game for a reason !
World Modifiers is my favorite update 🙂

[winter jungle]

ok i already looked up the video immiedtly because i adore valheim lore videos so much and just watched the first minute and i already like it xD

how dare youtube not recommend this to me 😔

[inland igloo]

Tho it removes the resource shipping from Raid Express

[rare lichen]

Good point !

Im a spoiled fool who plays on 3x resource rates

[inland igloo]

Im on a modded run with almost 100 mods

Rookie numbers that

[rare lichen]

Hows it been going you enjoying it?

[inland igloo]

Yea its pretty fun

[vast jewel]

Got my mods sorted.

[inland igloo]

Im using thunderstore manager since vortex refuses to work

Had to manually set willybach textures myself

[rare lichen]

What are your all favorite mods in Valheim?

[inland igloo]

Definitely BetterArchery willybach hd textures and almost all armory and weapons mods plus plant everything

Those are my go to

[steel mica]

Alright time to fight ze queen

[inland igloo]

Forgot More Points of interest mod

[vast jewel]

Damn, with no map the game feels so different.

[steel mica]

What weapons did yall use for your first tine fighting the queen?

[rare lichen]

Once I went nomap noportal I never went back jajaja
It makes valheim so deep its intense
Not for everybody though !

[rare lichen]

I used FireBall staff xD
Maybe thats lame though some people dont like magic
The AoE helps with those extra seekers

[vast jewel]

About to be building 500+ towers.

[steel mica]

First time fighter her I used magic

[vast jewel]

I disabled raids on this run. Feels to gameified for immersion.

[rare lichen]

Whats your favorite weapon to fight Seekers with?

[steel mica]

2-handed swords

all the way

Krom and Slayer my beloved

[inland igloo]

Havent reached queen yet

[inland igloo]

Same and battleaxes for chopping wood and the woodpeople

[rare lichen]

The 2handed sword reach distance is niiiice

And so shiny....

[paper marsh]

||Ice staff||

[steel mica]

Using battleaxes for chopping is... certainly something

[near furnace]

Bile bombs

:>

[inland igloo]

Hell yea

[paper marsh]

More effective than a one handed version if the trees are close together

Very nice for wood farms

[steel mica]

Ice staff is nice just missing AOE

[steel mica]

The troll in my farm:

[steel mica]

Add that with ooze bombs

[paper marsh]

AoE doesnt do anything extra against queen tho

Unless you have very bad aim

[steel mica]

This is my first time fighting her full melee

[steel mica]

For the ads

Well more like heavy + magic build

[inland igloo]

Only magic i use is thunder

[paper marsh]

Yeah I used embers on the ads frost on her

Melee is definitely more fun tho

[rare lichen]

I love how it feels weaving between magic and melee, hard to get right but its really fun

[inland igloo]

Yesss someone gets it

[paper marsh]

Hybrid magic melee is hella fun yeah. My most fun build

[inland igloo]

Thunder and Greatswording is fun as hell

[paper marsh]

Full magic is just too uninteractive / OP to be fun for me, but magic does add a nice pizazz to incorporate with your melee build

[steel mica]

Ever since I got my hands on the 2 eitr giving feast I went full magic + heavy

Such nice dps

And im excited to visit ashlands again

2nd btw

This isnt my first

[inland igloo]

The furthest i have been is the plains

I usually got lost in time building stuff

Its stronger than me

[vast jewel]

Damn, do you have to clear grass before placing a camp with fire spreads on?

I guess clearing tree paths and placing regular campfires is the move.

[paper marsh]

I haven't really found it necessary no, but I suppose it could be a good precaution

big thing is just not having wooden parts of your house too close to the fire

[vast jewel]

Just tried it, it burnt a patch of the surrounding grass but now it is safe.

I like that.

I'm gonna use tree stumps as indicators.

[steel mica]

The hardest thing about the queen is that shes all melee

So leaves you little room for attack and you gotta time your hits otherwise you risk taking a bunch of dmg or getting knocked far

[paper marsh]

She has one ranged attack, but yeah she can be intense. It really does make me sad how magic/bows trivialize a lot of boss encounters. I've sworn off cheesing things like that but I wish I had known on my first playthrough to have more depth on my first experience

[inland igloo]

Is dark souls experience relevant when fighting the queen?

[paper marsh]

I haven't played too much dark souls, but I'd say not a ton more relevant than throughout the rest of the game

Which means, kinda relevant but far from necessary

[sharp parcel]

Hey guys, someone can help me?
I dead in the mountain, and i cant will catch my itens. 🙁

I want someone only to help to keep my itens ago! Please!

[paper marsh]

Try and ask here: https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/1033392094817046630

[inland igloo]

Oh so you need a mule

[paper marsh]

Alternatively, you can use cheats to fly over and recover it. Search up how to enable "devcommands" on google

[livid juniper]

wait theres cheats

i never knew that

[paper marsh]

Yeah, I don't recommend them. They kinda ruin the game outside of using them for building big projects or testing some things out

[livid juniper]

not gonna use em

i just didnt know

[inland igloo]

Its more fun without flying

[steel mica]

Yeah which is why I went melee this 2nd time fighting her

[inland igloo]

Like building legos literally

[steel mica]

Quite intense actually, managing stamina and watching out for your shield

Shes half hp

Jesus christ the amount of times she had the jump on me

Her arena really gives her an advantage

[inland igloo]

Did you impale moder?

[steel mica]

Im talking about the 6th boss

[inland igloo]

[steel mica]

This staff of protection is saving my life

[paper marsh]

It's incredibly OP yeah

[dim mural]

why do bears have to have such a ridiculous amount of health? for black forest enemies they feel too tanky and the damage is all over the place

i tank multiple hits dealing 5 or so damage unblocked and then randomly get hit with 50 damage

[outer matrix]

totally agree. as a longtime player that stopped playing a couple of years a go, I recently came back to the game and the strength of the bear surprised me.

[dim mural]

yeah i wanted to know the threat before i fought one and was dumbfounded when i saw that thing has more health than a troll

[soft goblet]

if I have three pieces of bronze armor (helmet, tunic, leggings) do I get -15% movement speed?

[nocturne wolf]

Their lower damage makes them easier to parry early than a troll, halving the damage you need to deal to them

[dim mural]

no. only chest and pants give -speed

[nocturne wolf]

Helmets don’t reduce movespeed. Bronze armor is generally not worth the defence increase for the slowness though.

Later heavy armor is more worth it, bronze is too close to light armor defence

[dim mural]

id go for troll but if you dont need the sneak, swap the hood for a bronze helmet.

[nocturne wolf]

Bear legs and chest + bronze helmet are best for defence with no slowness

[dark coyote]

honestly troll + abyssal razor secondary is pretty op in BF

[dim mural]

at that point id go for full bear for the set bonus

[rotund parrot]

troll armor change nothing about the razor

[nocturne wolf]

Me too but that’s not great for reducing damage unless it’s pure elemental

[soft goblet]

so no bronze armor for fighting the Elder?

[nocturne wolf]

No, the slowness just will make avoiding attacks harder without enough defence to make up for it

If you already made some it’s good enough and you don’t need to throw it away

[dim mural]

only if you really dont care abt movement speed penalty

[soft goblet]

thanks, y'all

[steel mica]

The queen is quite annoying once she starts getting low

She keeps spawning ads and borrowing away

[dim mural]

just killed my second bear, this time with actual meelee.

[steel mica]

FINALLY

That took way too long

[dim mural]

congrats! the ashlands await!

[steel mica]

Excited to try out ashlands again

See how I might make things differently

[shadow rivet]

well it's the only thing that I got

[raven dagger]

Do the bones in the overworld stone… things respawn?

[dim mural]

i dont think so.

[raven dagger]

Darn…

[dim mural]

thinking of upgrading your club or armor?

[raven dagger]

I’ve returned after a long time, and I vaguely remember a hammer thing that needed bones to craft and upgrade

[dim mural]

ah. the stagbreaker.

[raven dagger]

That was the name, yeah!

I love that weapon type

[dim mural]

yeah you also need corewood, so good luck.

[raven dagger]

I could kill enemies from the other side of scrap piles in crypts with those hammers, I loved it

[raven dagger]

Do those need metal axes to gather?

[dim mural]

nah. stone or flint is good

[raven dagger]

Then I just might creep to the edge of the Black Forest and pray, then!

[dim mural]

just try not to get turned to fertiliser

[raven dagger]

Not that the Stagbreaker is all that useful against Eikthyr, though

Love using it for demolition

[dim mural]

works well against groups and for clearing shrubbery

[raven dagger]

Loved it for the Grey Dwarf Spawner things

Hit the spawns as well as the spawner all at once

[dim mural]

i just cut down the spawner itself with an axe

[raven dagger]

I kinda like keeping some spawners around, though

[dim mural]

yeah those make for good wood and stone farms.

anyone know if the paws of the bear are any good?

[paper marsh]

and to add to it they also have a few relevant resistances, whereas a troll is weak to pierce

[ivory lantern]

i hate taking a break from a game and not being able to get back into it

[paper marsh]

relateable

[raven dagger]

Yep

[paper marsh]

I also can never continue a playthrough in a game like valheim

Gotta go start a new one

[raven dagger]

Huh. Never had a deer drop 1 hide and nothing else, not even meat before

[dim mural]

can relate. ive lost too many runs at swamp or even mountains bc of that

[rare lichen]

Whats one of your favorite playthroughs so far? Anything in particular stand out?

[paper marsh]

I've had many at this point, but probably my first one stands out the most because its the only one I did with 1-2 of my close buddies and everything was new to me. Was a lot of fun

Next would probably be the one I did with some people I met here. We wanted to see how miserable we could make ourselves putting all the new world settings on literally the worst of the worst (very hard, hardcore, 0.5 resources, max raids, no portals, no map, etc.), and somehow it ended up kinda fun. No map is a different beast

Finally it would probably be the one very hard permadeath run where I managed to make it to mistlands without dying

[steel mica]

Alot of people rq at mistlands

[rare lichen]

Sounds like a blast 🙂
I did something similar. Tried Max raids nomap noportal. It made me go no raids jajaja
I loved the nomap noportal though. Definitely a style that brings out the best of Valheim's ambiance and music and vibes. But it requires a lot of patience

[steel mica]

Due to the visiblity issue

[paper marsh]

aw :(

My favorite biome

[steel mica]

Same i like building a base there

Welp time to prepare for ashlands

[rare lichen]

Its also really hard for me to get back into something after Ive stopped for a while. Unless its OSRS or something like that. For Valheim I can develop worlds and work on that sort of project forever but its hard to keep playing the same character. At least personally

[paper marsh]

Once I get to mountains I feel very tempted to start mistlands. And usually I do. At least go dabbling a bit. Then once I defeat moder and get some plains gear I'll go all in

Then once I wanna build a base I'll probably go kill yag so I can clear the mist around my base

[steel mica]

I make my main farming base at a border of a mistlands and plains biome

[paper marsh]

I like to be deep in the mistlands. Feels more magical

[dim mural]

yeah im gonna hate mistlands once i get there. low vis and tons of bugs is gonna have me dead TONS. not to talk about the cliffy terrain even worse than mountains.

[steel mica]

I've gone to the point of not relying on wisplight lol

Truly a valheim masochist

I only place wisplights at my base

[paper marsh]

I never saw too much point in it

Its radius is so small and there’s quite a few areas of mistlands that aren’t misty anywyas.

Plus all the important stuff in mistlands is marked by enemies or wisps anyways

Like it’s a nice thing to have but by no means needed

[dim mural]

that sounds really similar to me with plains. thats my favourite biome bc of all the build stuff and thats when stuff really starts feeling cool. plus its really flat and open.

yeah if you didnt already realise, i love building. getting materials is a pain tho.

[steel mica]

The occasional buzzing will remind you that this biome isnt all that peaceful

[paper marsh]

Better get out your fly starter

[dim mural]

yeah and the random air raid siren is gonna really remind you of that. and send you back home.

[steel mica]

I just swat the deathsquitos as it flies towards me

[paper marsh]

I wish they had lower health

[dim mural]

i just wear a root harnesk. basically nullifies dathsquitoes.

[steel mica]

They already do?

God 10 iron bars for a drakkr

[dim mural]

never undestood why in valheim theres mosquitoes that hit harder than a truck.

[steel mica]

I mean it is a giant mosquito

[paper marsh]

Nah, I can’t oneshot them with my fist

[steel mica]

Ah

Getting an asksvin tamed pronto in the ashlands is very good

[dim mural]

ok i nearly pissed my pants after i saw the ghost redesign.

my god it looks scary

[elder cave]

cuz its funny

[burnt glen]

There's a truck in Valheim? Did I miss an update?

[echo wind]

Mosquitoes? No. Deathsquitoes!

[dim mural]

no. i was just saying that gettin stung by a deathsquito does a ton of damage

[burnt glen]

Have you been hit by a truck before?

[dim mural]

uhh, no?

[echo wind]

Have you been stung by an irl deathsquito before?

[burnt glen]

damn, if only, we could have had some substantial comparison between the two situations

[elder cave]

new plains mob: truck kun

[echo wind]

Truck is 85 blunt damage, deathsquito 90 pierce

[dim mural]

sends you into a paralell universe

[echo wind]

Fuelings in wartrakks?

[livid juniper]

im so hyped for the valhiem end game i saw a clip of it and it looks sick

[burnt glen]

Where did you see this?

[elder cave]

what biome u in

[livid juniper]

abt to kill elder

[livid juniper]

youtube and tiktok

[dim mural]

yeah good luck its gonna take a while

[elder cave]

thats fun

[livid juniper]

itsa fun game tho

[echo wind]

You still have your whole afterlife before you!

[livid juniper]

i would kill the elder but i gotta wait for my buddy to hop on

im rockin 2 star troll armor

[elder cave]

did u have fun mining copper 😛

[livid juniper]

no it was horrible i got thru it tho

i heard it only goes uphill from here though

[elder cave]

ya thats bacically the worst part

[dim mural]

man im loving these new fist weapons. paws are really good.

[winter jungle]

I watched the whole things and it was sooo good , thank u for the recommendation

[livid juniper]

dude they looked sick i was gonna craft em but im out by 1 bear claw

[dim mural]

you just need to hunt down another bear

[echo wind]

My favorite part of valheim is mining copper

[livid juniper]

yeah 😕 last time i did that it was a 20 min boss fight against a troll and bear + a couple brutes

elden ring exp helped out tho

[dim mural]

yeesh. my first experience was luring it to meadows and just spooking it away with a campfire when it got too close.

fire arrows and finewood bow helped out.

[livid juniper]

the finewood bow and the hammer with the aoe attack saved me

i forgot the hammers name

[dim mural]

stagbreaker?

[livid juniper]

yeah

imma try to beat valheim before deep north comes out

so i can progress instantly

[dim mural]

now im just hunting for more bears so i can get full bear set.

[livid juniper]

you should be locked up

[dim mural]

honestly mining is ok until theres a random enemy harassing you.

[livid juniper]

you need atleast the bronze axe for it to be bearable tho not gonna lie

[pallid oracle]

Hey I'm just curious, why don't people want a way to move tamed animals to other bases?

[lone rampart]

Something to discuss in #suggestion-discussion maybe, so it doesn't get lost here. I'm OK with the idea but I imagine having a separate raft for the purpose might be part of the issue. I dunno. 🤷‍♀️

[elder cave]

should i attempt a fader first boss challenge (bacically i cant kill any bosses except fader)

[echo wind]

Locked up in a copper mine 🥺

[stray lotus]

Would be a pretty cool flex 🤷‍♂️

[paper marsh]

yes

[raven otter]

Man I really really hate waiting

[paper marsh]

For what?

[pallid oracle]

My bad, i didn't realise that there was a seperate channel for that

[paper marsh]

Also damn, first time I lost a permadeath run to a campfire 😭

Darn you firetick

[lone rampart]

All good!

[raven otter]

For a ps5 version of the game I can't play the game at all since it's not available for ps5 yet

[paper marsh]

ah I see. I wish time will pass fast and you will soon experience what it is like to be a true viking 🫡

[raven otter]

Do u think there will be a release date before marathon releases? XD because I might buy it but having mixed feelings

[livid juniper]

this sounds very unenjoyable

[raven otter]

I apologize for killing the mood

[dim mural]

okay i take back what i said about bears being too strong for black forest. once you get a proper slash weapon they go down pretty easy.

just gotta watch out for slams and bites. those hurt.

now let me drive the local bear population extinct for some bear armor.

[solar rose]

@sonic crescent

no mic 🙁

[vast jewel]

I'm so happy with my first base.

[lone rampart]

don't take temporary lulls in conversation personally. It wasn't your fault 💖

[dim mural]

ok these bear paws are becoming one of my new favorite weapons

[raven otter]

My bad

[lone rampart]

Death by toe beans 🫘

[dim mural]

the lightness of knives, attack speed of fists and good damage. plus i get fists skill so i can punt these graylings easier

[rare lichen]

Fist weapons are fun the kick is awesome and now we have more than 1 ❤️

[dim mural]

exactly! the kick stuns basically any small to medium thing and i love it.

[vast jewel]

I wish there was a channel to share builds or screenshots.

[lone rampart]

You mean like #building-screenshots ?

or even just #screenshots

[vast jewel]

I didn't know those channels existed until scrolling past the voice channels.

[lone rampart]

They're sneaky channels

[steel mica]

The slam is quite telegraphic, the bite is a bit faster

[vast jewel]

Posted it in #building-screenshots

Oh yeaaaaa.

[steel mica]

Quite a dangerous location you built on huh

Just add perimeter walls and you're good to go honestly

[dim mural]

the slam is my nightmare bc theres two similar ones. the bite i kinda know bc bear tries getting really close

[steel mica]

This is because I dont move around fighting a bear lol, I stand still trying to parry

[vast jewel]

I cleared the dungeon so it is pretty safe.

I also destroyed the surrounding spawners.

[steel mica]

The bite can sometimes catch me off guard

[steel mica]

Its not so much the spawners and skeletons you have to worry about... but a certain friend

[vast jewel]

Oh, the troll is hilarious to fight.

I unironically think it is the easiest enemy in the game.

[dim mural]

i move around, wait for the bear to come back, try to slap me and parry that giving me a good window to deal damage.

[steel mica]

That trophy goes to the deer

[vast jewel]

I'd say deers are harder than the troll.

[dim mural]

hare*

[steel mica]

Deers dont attack you...

[steel mica]

Fireball

[vast jewel]

Yeah, but they run off over the slightest fart.

The trolls will swing, stand still for you to fully charge your bow, then swing again.

[dim mural]

ah yes. the good old "i cast fireball"

[vast jewel]

Just dodge roll forward.

[steel mica]

This is kinda of like, coughing baby vs "that one" bomb

[vast jewel]

This is my first time playing and ngl, I was expecting the troll to be very hard.

First set I crafted was the troll set.

[dim mural]

trolls are so easy bc with a finewood bow and flint arrows if i get the first hit before it spots me thats easily over half hp gone before it has a chance to hit me.

[steel mica]

They're not ones you get used to them, its the fear factor is what makes the troll iconic really, many fear since #1 Its a gigantic, #2 Is loud as balls #3 Its a troll

Oh and #4 its their first time encountering one lmao

[vast jewel]

Maybe I'm desensitized because it looks like my ex.

[steel mica]

First time playing vs 779hours

First time was me fearing for my life
779hours - You shall be... my lumberjack

[vast jewel]

The bear is the hardest enemy I have fought so far.

[steel mica]

Trolls honestly are so useful in the early game

I tend to avoid killing them till I capture one

[dim mural]

bear is pretty difficult until you get the parry timings right, then its just a "come on. hit me. HA get parried!"

[steel mica]

I love trolls

[vast jewel]

I'll eventually get around to it, I think the most important thing for me right now is to get the Root set.

Since I'm maining archery.

[dim mural]

eh ive never really resorted to slave labour. i might sometimes make a nearby troll help me mine some copper but thats it.

[dim mural]

oh the root harnesk will save you way later on too.

[steel mica]

Oh I employed one as A lumberjack

[dim mural]

anyway whats yalls usual go to food setup? focus on stamina or health?

as for mine i carry two of each type, health and stamina but mainly eat 2 stamina 1 health.

[vast jewel]

I might have to kill a bear for the pendant.

[dim mural]

youll need multiple. i killed like 8 before i got a trophy.

[steel mica]

Meadows > Plains [SSH]
Mistlands [FFE]
Ashlands [FFE]
Endgame after final boss [FFE]

[vast jewel]

Nimble Anklet might be better come to think off it.

[river saddle]

so does anyone know if there will be new Fist weapons at all? ive been using fists since Black Forest and just got to Ashlands. im sad that i had to use a new weapon in the mistlands and hope that the Deep North update will bring some more Fist weapons

[dim mural]

what is F?

[lone rampart]

Feast

[dim mural]

ah

[steel mica]

Zero info on what weapons might be added, there are teasers for weapons in the news but no sight of a new fist weapon

[vast jewel]

I am surprised they haven't added a Mjolnir like weapon.

[river saddle]

thats a shame. they have been so much fun to play with.

[steel mica]

Closest thing as of rn is frostner

[dim mural]

id really want a dyrnwyn like weapon for more weapon types, maybe not for the scavenger hunt but like an "ultimate" weapon for the classes.

maybe something like zenith from terraria but nowhere near as op

[misty bloom]

im just going to be in vc if anyone would like to chill and maybe play

[viscid wigeon]

Ehaoh @dim mural

[viscid wigeon]

So wish I saw that earlier

[misty bloom]

I'm still lurking

Unc just got bored staring at the home screen and sat down to grab a drink lol

[viscid wigeon]

Sure, going to some caves tommorow tho so I csnt be deluded mentally

[viscid wigeon]

Lmfa99 peak life tbh

[misty bloom]

😂

[misty bloom]

I just exist at this point until my graduation. Though I might have my first seat filled for my new run 🎉

[viscid wigeon]

Oh yeah? Any chance I could add you in dms so I dont forget abt you?

[misty bloom]

Go for it man, I could always use more people who play Valheim

Im so attached to this game I still have my first ever world with everyone's first houses around even though they dipped out on me and I finished it alone 😭

[dim mural]

just finished mining a copper vein for four and a half stacks of copper. time to get vaporising all my wood

[brittle otter]

relatable. still have my first world even though its unplayable since its from like 2021 lmao

[lone rampart]

My first world was just me, and it still exists. Even my old Mistlands treehouse

[misty bloom]

I'd straight up get home from a rough day, go to that world hoping someone would come back and just shed a tear because of all the nostalgia of how much fun we had when everyone had played for the first time 🥲

[dim mural]

i wish i couldve made it to such greatness. farthest ive gotten is mountains til my adhd just has enough and i lose all intrest for a month or two

[misty bloom]

Similar for me sometimes

[dim mural]

ive had prolly like ten good runs.

[misty bloom]

I'm a very nostalgic person so if I start a run and enough people leave barely midway through I'll kinda just... Give up?

[dim mural]

oh im going solo every time bc i dont really have ppl to play with. i myself like a close co-operation multiplayer style in most games like this and the friends i had basically turnded our world into full on capitalism.

[misty bloom]

Farthest I made it with people was first mist lands trip with 2 guys and I never saw them again after that night

[misty bloom]

I love a tight knit group for games like this

[lone rampart]

I get that. I had 5 people start this last map with me and they've all faded away

[brittle otter]

i feel this. I'd love to have a group that actually wanted to behave like we were a small expedition of vikings, not a bunch of watch-me-solo-hers

[dim mural]

absolutely. i like farming and building mainly so i can sit back and take care of the base while some other ppl do the fighting. ofc if im needed i WILL help in fights.

[misty bloom]

We are really a bunch of nostalgic people lol

[lone rampart]

"old." The word you're looking for is "old"

[misty bloom]

I do the same thing with the base pretty much, but I love the fighting. I do farming, cooking, crafting.

[lone rampart]

Just give me a farm and my chickens and I am a happy camper

[misty bloom]

I may be 18 but I'm unc

[brittle otter]

i am a history nerd lol. I have friends spread across Norway who i hit up for pictures of historical sites occasionally, which is how I ended up recreating the borgund stave church (although i will 100% be redoing it with the new deep north roof pieces because FINALLY STEEP ROOF)

[dim mural]

im 20 but i feel way too old already.

[brittle otter]

buddy i literally took my shoes off earlier and my ankle popped louder than the TV please dont 😂

[misty bloom]

Lord have mercy

[dim mural]

my dude my back sounds like a bundle of glowsticks at times.

[misty bloom]

I can pop my everything

Except wrists lol

[lone rampart]

My poor wrists & fingers sound like Rice Krispies

[dim mural]

my wrists sound like cement mixers

[brittle otter]

well shit if y'all are looking to play some Vibeheim lets start organizing something lol.

[lone rampart]

snap crackle pop!

[misty bloom]

I got a lfg up

I got 2 guys already interested 🎉

[dim mural]

that honestly sounds really cool. i might not be able to play a lot bc school but ill make do.

[misty bloom]

I'm in school too so amen to that

[brittle otter]

im 30 and can host the server (once im done my current playthrough in about 1-2 weeks tops unless folks wanted to join in on that, currently about to enter mistlands)

[misty bloom]

I mean we can plan it out over time just to make sure we have everyone interested involved

[dim mural]

damn this is starting to sound like a proper game group. my first time playing with randos i met on the internet.

[brittle otter]

I'd also like to add, anybody still playing with my when deep north drops is invited to my mega-expedition which is currently at about 9 vikings.

[misty bloom]

Might be interesting

[brittle otter]

and yes, i am trying to hit the deep north 15-20 people deep, for the allfather himself

[dim mural]

just so yall know i like to take my time and not rush progression. unless we talk about pickaxes. i am NOT living without that thing.

[brittle otter]

I just admitted to a 2 week completion time starting in the mistlands so same lol

I like to really make sure I am totally flush with a biomes resources before moving on.

[dim mural]

yeah sometimes i might rush a boss if i really just wanna be done with the biome but otherwise im just chilling.

[brittle otter]

are you looking for a server to just kinda chill on while we get our vibeheim thing organized?

[inland igloo]

Ngl i’d be building 24/7

[dim mural]

i mean im gonna be doing my own solo world prolly until that. seeing where i can get.

[brittle otter]

that's basically why I progress so slowly lmao. I will spend several days building and doing farming/other chores to bolster supplies then just spend one day dominating the next biome lmao.

[steel mica]

Pov: you are over prepared

[brittle otter]

but it makes it feel a lot like "we only go raiding in raiding season" type shit

[inland igloo]

Im still in meadows after 12 days eiktyr still roaming around

[dim mural]

i just farm, build all that and all and still get my ass handed to me the moment i step into the next biome

[steel mica]

Lacking experience fighting the mobs thats it really

[inland igloo]

That was black forest to plains for me lol

[dim mural]

i get done with eikthyr in like a few days. sometimes on day 2 even.

[brittle otter]

plains is wild just for the sheer amount of fulings that can aggro you lmao

and GOD forbid you get a starred one with a spear

[dim mural]

i love the plains but i hate it when all the fulings harass your builds.

[brittle otter]

yeah i dont build in the plains till i go through mistlands because turrets

[steel mica]

Just make a stone wall perimeter

[dim mural]

root harnesk

tho that means torch fulings absolutely burn you into a crisp.

[brittle otter]

they're almost worse because you always ignore em until you let em get close and they start to swing and the hp bar pops up with a star 💀

[dim mural]

say hello to DAMAGE

[brittle otter]

honestly the burn damage sound almost gives me minecraft creeper noise levels of ptsd lmao.

[steel mica]

Dodgeroll or jump

[brittle otter]

because if not root harnesk, feather cape.

[steel mica]

The root harnesk is worth the tradeoff in plains since you negate 2 annoying enemies

[dim mural]

my god thats so true.

[dim mural]

true. without root harnesk theres no surviving deathsquitoes.

unless youd rather go with bug spray.

[steel mica]

To be fair I have no problem dealing with all these enemies

[brittle otter]

tbh i have found the arbalest to be extremely handy against deathsquitos, but obviously you need a black forge to make it (which is lame)

[steel mica]

Its the swarming the gets me killed

[brittle otter]

nothing says "im taking the power back" like critting deathsquitos before they even smell your pheromones

[steel mica]

Im on my sweet sweet way to ashlands

[brittle otter]

people give knockback a lot of shit, but the atgeir or clubs are super handy for managing this.

[steel mica]

Im interested on how well I might do this 2nd run

[brittle otter]

post combat-arms update i always have knockback as my secondary melee

[dim mural]

make a good landing spot for yourself so you dont get stranded

[steel mica]

Im a sword enjoyer

[steel mica]

Im aware

This aint my first rodeo 🤠

[dim mural]

just saying

i wouldve forgotten

[brittle otter]

sword is my favorite primary, but going into every situation with slash is just asking for problems lol.

[steel mica]

Do note not many enemies are resistant to slash so its a good general weapon

[brittle otter]

i always have pierce in the form of a bow/arbalest though, so i carry a sword (or dagger depending) and a club

[dim mural]

i like swords and clubs. im kind of a jack of all trades
