valheim-chat

[near furnace]

but think like this

each valheim biome has it's unique quirks

but.

most are usually far between monster encounters

while Ashlands unique quirk is the constant fighting

it's ment to be a D-day landing, warzone

medows is basicly the tutorial biome

black forrest slowly lets you use what combat skills you learned in medows and deal with both big and anoying enemies

swamps have some evil boggie men you need to deal with

also resistances starts to matter in the swamps

so you are more prepared in mountains biome

unsure what the childs game is called in english

we call it "bird, fish and in-between"

basicly a game kids play to learn how to look / search for things that isn't just infront of their noses 😄

that's what I would call the mountains where you have things far below you, and high above your head. not just straight infront of you

which is something you later need to use in plains and mistlands

[mellow shadow]

Bird, Beast or Fish?

[near furnace]

well. bird is "sky", fish means "floor" and the in-between those basicly

you hide something and the kid asks "is it bird?, fish, in between?" and you give them a clue by saying what height it is at

[wet wolf]

i never really thought about how each biome teaches/prepares you for the next biome. that's really cool game design

[near furnace]

😉

it's all in sneaking it slowly into the players

that's why people who continiously play valheim, or restart in each update have alot easier to tackle any new content

[mellow shadow]

Ah, I got it. We have something similar in spanish: "Aire, agua o tierra" (literally air, water or land)

[near furnace]

than those who put it on the shelf, and comes back for the new stuff and just picks it up where they left off

[near furnace]

sounds the same 🙂

[odd flare]

I personally can't wait to finish this playthrough which is my first, and then start messing with modifiers

[near furnace]

^^

one thing I try to tell people. specially about mistlands and ashlands

[odd flare]

Mainly loot😅

[near furnace]

you're not a coward for running away from a fight you can't win

run away. get new rested buff, eat food, grab potions, return and beat the living crap of whatever thing almost killed you

[loud grotto]

[mellow shadow]

Wait, now that all this has been explained, does it mean the Deep North will be even more punishing than the Ashlands? 👀

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/skeletor-laughs-in-evil-laughing-myah-myaah-dasmemeistgut-gif-5356566587527840753

depends on how you look at it

I enjoy deep north alot

the videos of Heivors travels are a good representation 🤔

[odd flare]

Every new biome....except wolves. Until I could parry there was no getting away lol. I started playing like it's a souls game and it got so much easier

[wet wolf]

i feel like im gonna die the second it turns night in DN

[near furnace]

we actually slowed down wolves after I complained 🤔

they where too fast 😄

this was a long time ago btw

[tacit crystal]

I might enjoy the nights there due to ||aurora borealis|| shown in some teaser pictures.

[near furnace]

you will... probably feel quite at home 🤔

[loud grotto]

Thank you for all the explaining 💪🏻🔥 it was nice to learn stuff about the game

[near furnace]

np

[tacit crystal]

Minus the enemy mobs.
-# Or maybe some wolves.

[near furnace]

oh no no

those are all natural

just like home

[tacit crystal]

What natural would resemble ||an elaking||?

But anyhow, can't wait to figure out if it takes the top 1 biome place over Mistlands.

[south anvil]

I think I finally figured out how to get my boar farm to work But it's going to be really painful to get food in every once in awhile

[paper marsh]

As long as there’s a workbench or campfire or something nearby the food won’t despawn, so maybe just save up a lot of food and drop it all at once?

[raven dagger]

I need 120 more Iron so I can max out a Sledge, ugh.

I only found 3 Crypts across both of my more accessible Swamps…

The other one is a bit too close to some Plains for my liking.

[foggy glacier]

crypts tend to be toward the middle of the biome. you should be fine.

[raven dagger]

The Plains are just… not quite surrounding the Swamps, but it’s rough to get there safely, XD

[foggy glacier]

can be tricky

time to do some exploring. There are plenty more swamps.

[raven dagger]

I have yet to need to build a boat, actually.

My Starting island is MASSIVE.

As in, I have yet to explore all of it, but it’s at least 1/3 of the height of my world tall.

The very top is Plains, so I don’t know how much more tall it is, though.

[foggy glacier]

I have a similar problem. The island I build my main base on goes so far north I have to worry about loading DN chunks. I had to stop exploring it.

[raven dagger]

DN chunks?

[foggy glacier]

deep north biome.

[raven dagger]

Ah, you don’t want to prevent yourself from using that world after the update?

[foggy glacier]

right

[raven dagger]

I’ll just start a new world, I’m using enough Modifiers to soften my world that it’s really a warmup

Unrestricted Portals
No Raids
Least Punishing Deaths

[kindred citrus]

How can I get a cheat sword without console commands?

[raven dagger]

…Cheat sword?

[near furnace]

have someone spawn it for you

it's a developer tool basicly

[kindred citrus]

What if I found a secret way to get it legally with a low chance?

[near furnace]

there isn't one

[raven dagger]

…’secret’

Also, ‘legally’?

[near furnace]

it's just a iron sword with 9999 damage with a fancy VFX on it so people will see if you use a cheat sword or a normal iron sword

[raven dagger]

Wow, I just saw a Bear die to a Leech

[near furnace]

xD

[raven dagger]

The Bear never used its slam attack, so it always jumped over the Leech with its pouncing

Sasuga, Leech-sama

EVERY TIME I TURN MY BACK, A BEAR SPAWNS.

I’m trying to set up a portal-shack here!

Why is the Bronze Armor only 1 defense better than Bear armor? It costing movement speed for that single point is awful

[foggy glacier]

Bronze armor is original content. Bear set was added with the Call to Arms update.

[raven dagger]

Okay? So they didn’t balance or rebalance anything between those?

[tacit crystal]

It has remained unchanged since launch, yes.

[foggy glacier]

The black forest already has a 'light' armor set and the bronze 'heavy'armor set. The AC of the bear set is offset by the damage weaknesses.

[light moat]

Bronze armor has a secret set bonus. It’s ✨ fashionable ✨

[raven dagger]

How much is the damage weakness, anyways? I can’t say it’s been noticeable

[foggy glacier]

wiki says 25%. It'll become more noticeable when you start tanking more damage.

[tacit crystal]

1,25x damage multiplier.

[raven dagger]

I’ve been nervous to fight Abominations, yeah.

But that’s mostly just that they freak me out in general

[tacit crystal]

Not too significant at the start, but starts becoming something to be wary in later biomes.

[foggy glacier]

once you see their patterns and damage arc, you never need take a hit. just keep left of their sweeping leg and you'll miss everything.

[raven dagger]

Is luring them over Surtling Geysers popular?

[foggy glacier]

you can take one step left to avoid the sweep and same to avoid the stomp. It's only the belly slam that you need to step back from.

[foggy glacier]

very

[tacit crystal]

It's valid tactic.

[raven dagger]

It’s a shame that my Swamp with Abominations is the one with no geysers then…

Omigosh, I actually survived that Deathsquito

Long enough to flee, XD

This is why I was nervous about this Swamp

[copper karma]

Breeding wolves is probably a bit too much work, right?

[light moat]

Not at all honestly, probably the easiest tame to breed imo. Meat is an extremely common resource

[foggy glacier]

if you do it in meadows, you'll be overrun.

honestly, you probably don't need to breed them. At least I never needed to. The 'You are being Hunted' raid is my most common one.

[raven dagger]

If you put Raid Frequency to Max, how common are they?

[copper karma]

No raids here.

Meat is so much more work to grind than farming a crop

[steel mica]

My entire playthrough on my 2nd run I've never gotten the "You are being hunted wvent" all the way to ashlands

[steel mica]

Make a animal farm/breeder and free meat lol

Although it takes a bit of setup

[raven dagger]

Anyone know? Does Maximum Raids make them happen every night?

[chrome badge]

That raid can't happen in the meadows

[foggy glacier]

I meant breeding wolves there.

boar, neck and deer are so plentiful, the meat causes population explosion.

[chrome badge]

Only if you keep breeding them and there's too much room in their pen.

There's a radius limit.

[queen stream]

When you get really close to them they can only attack you with the log attack which is VERY predictable

It's always how I got em and never really struggled

[raven dagger]

What do they do from a distance?

[queen stream]

They attack with their arms so branches I guess lol

[foggy glacier]

pretty close to. it's a 66.7% chance every 14 minutes.

[raven dagger]

Yeesh.

But if I go in expecting that, and preparing, maybe fun, XD

Maybe I’d wait until I had a first house to enable Max Raids?

[chrome badge]

You don't have a house yet?

[raven dagger]

Nah, I’m thinking of starting a world with Max Raids, as opposed to my current No Raids.

[foggy glacier]

honestly I always forget about modifiers when I'm setting up a new world. I should add max raids in early game for free leather and greydwarf eyes

[raven dagger]

Wait, is there a Bear Raid?

[foggy glacier]

no

[chrome badge]

No

[foggy glacier]

that'd be too easy

[dark coyote]

sucks for him 😎

[queen stream]

lmao

[foggy glacier]

I think bears have static spawns though, so mark the spot when you find one and just keep going back.

[raven dagger]

Sadly, he died far enough in the water I’m not grabbing the loot. Not that I need it anymore, but it’s the principal of the thing!

[foggy glacier]

Yeah, I"m a compulsive loot goblin too.

[raven dagger]

I really don’t need these 3 chests of Resin, but what could I do, leave them there?!

[queen stream]

I personally always get HARASSED by them so not a problem here 😅😅 Actually first time I played since the update I didn't know there would be a new bear (I say new because I already had bears because of a mod) and let's say it was... chaotic

[dark coyote]

Yeah I hate it, way too many bears, like 2-3x that of trolls, ridiculous

[mellow shadow]

Ugh.... These freaking wolves are so feisty.

[queen stream]

lol and they sound like a troll too 😅

[raven dagger]

I wish there were more bears up until I get the Trophies I need, then there are too many, XD

[foggy glacier]

And they're such a pain to get rid of too. A couple of biomes in and Greydwarves are one-shotted, trolls are down with a couple of arrows but the darn resistances mean at least two combos to take care of them.

[raven dagger]

I enjoy Parrying tho, so I can’t complain too much.

[primal ruin]

Valheim needs some rebalancing on the boss location stones

I’ve filled two longships with black steel and genocided 7 planes biomes including the farthest from the map center.

No closer to the boss and I can’t just skip it too mistlands

[foggy glacier]

Welcome to the grind. I'd guess a majority of players find the altar before they find a vegevisir.

[primal ruin]

Had that happen with the dragon spawner.

Never found a locator but one day saw its red glow looming from a storm.

[weak cypress]

Just look for a giant hand

[primal ruin]

I have. I’ve been mapping every planes I can find.

I hate using a cheat code but at this point I’m spending real life days trying to plan how to find this thing.

Are the devs aware of this issue?

[foggy glacier]

they are.

[primal ruin]

There needs to be something with Haldor where you can trade something in bulk for a location or something.

[foggy glacier]

I feel your pain. I try to look at it as finding plenty of totems for when you need them.

[primal ruin]

Check out the screenshot

[foggy glacier]

I've got 24 totems RN.

[primal ruin]

Have you found the boss yet?

[foggy glacier]

Found a vegevisir, yes. Just haven't got there yet.

However, I've only found 1.

[primal ruin]

That’s messed up

[rotund parrot]

Keep looking and one day you will finally find a vegvisir and chances are it will just turn your screen to the altar that's right beside it

[mellow shadow]

??? A village of Draugrs in the Meadows? 🧐 🫳 🚫

[foggy glacier]

once you get far enough out, yes.

[edgy warren]

will your skills level up with woodenn weapons?.

[mellow shadow]

That was sick, man! First time I see so many spawners together.

[foggy glacier]

it can be a real surprise if you've already found a village with bees in it. You're expecting sweet, sweet honey and BAM, archer.

[mellow shadow]

lmao that's exactly what happened.

Imagine playing with 3 friends. Finding this village and repair it!

[raven dagger]

Wooden Weapons isn’t a skill, but you can level your Spear skill with a wood spear, yeah

[foggy glacier]

They can be cool. I created a farm out of one. Also, the large 'hall' type buildings can sometimes have a raven throne, yielding iron nails.

[edgy warren]

where can you find wooden sword?

[raven dagger]

I’m trying to remember if you can craft it, or just find it in chests…

Like, I found a wooden knife? Don’t think you can make one, though

[edgy warren]

you gotta find them in chests

i have spear, axe, knife, battleaxe, atgeir

i just thought mabey specific stuructures had differnt weapons

[raven dagger]

I found the knife in a buried chest in the Meadows

[foggy glacier]

the sword you can craft. Everything else is found.

[foggy glacier]

biome specific.

one in each biome.

[echo wind]

They do make for nice bases

[mellow shadow]

Ohhh... Found a trader at last!

I was a scared for a moment thinking there was some kind of bounty hunting mark on my map.

[raven dagger]

Some of the settings I keep less punishing unless I’m in multiplayer. I hate retrieving my good gear with worse gear.

But in multi, I can just have a buddy escort me

[mellow shadow]

Or die together.

[raven dagger]

Sadly possible.

[echo wind]

How romantic

[open bolt]

I've been progressing in the Ashlands, and I have the mage build so I noticed that I don't really need Flametal that much 🤔 I thought it would be a big part of the Ashlands progress to try and gather a lot of it. But if I don't have the melee build, I don't really need much. Only for a few upgrades and very little for the Robe.

[opaque idol]

sup

[south anvil]

No it's because for some reason the pigs wouldn't eat the food through the wall even though I know it usually works so I had to make some kind of system that rolled the food in front of their face so they could actually eat it. I already knew you needed a workbench or something

[fossil delta]

Caught my first ever lvl 5 Pike (I think) with an lvl 11 skill.

I caught an lvl 4 earlier with a skill of 8.

[elder raven]

hey everyone im new to this server but ive got over 50 hours on valheim, not much, but im looking for a chill group without mods

[boreal quest]

Good Morning . I am looking for some players or group . It's more about endgame content/farming or maybe helping others (I'd probably start a new character at 1.0). I'd also like to improve my building skills. German preferred, but I can speak some English too. (600hrs)

[smoky saddle]

Trying to find infested mines is a pain in the ass

[steel mica]

They're found mostly around the coast of the mistlands, climb up some hills and look at the directions of the coasts till you see some big spiky hills

[smoky saddle]

We have found a few but I think the biome is too small to spawn more. Got 5 cores atm but we'll need to travel to a neighbouring island

[tired path]

It took me forever to find enough black cores to craft everything I needed. Finding anything in the Mistlands feels like gambling

Luckily I also found a Queen Vegvisir on the 5th Infested Mine or so

The Infested Citadel is like, halfway across the map, but at least I know where it is

[thorn citrus]

The trick is not trying to find them

You'll run in a few of them while searching fornsomething else and note them
Then you'll return later when you really need it

[steel mica]

best get to finding

you can also find variations of the structure but as abandoned dvergr mines

[smoky saddle]

Yeah ive managed to find more of those than the shoreline ones

[lofty moss]

If you ever get jumped by a 1star seeker or three seekers at once make sure you climb up any mountains around you.

Several different times I was getting jumped in transit to a skull or something else… turns out there were mines in old Dverger towers that weren’t really lit up but were sitting right above me on a mountain.

They are a little less common than the ones on open ground but spawn often enough you can walk through the valley below and think the zone is sparse.

[nocturne pasture]

Where deep north

[echo wind]

Go to the shallow south and do a 180

[nocturne pasture]

😺

[open bolt]

My character went on a trip to the unfinished lands of the Deep North. ❄️ To take in some fresh air and rest from the chaos of the Ashlands. 💀

It's so peaceful here. At least for now... 😂

There was big mountain there with lots of Stone golems. And it even had a Frost Cave. ❄️

I wonder what will happen to the mountain biomes in the Deep North when it releases... 🤔

[unreal iris]

guys how do i use a raft

[solemn hawk]

is there a way to get royal jelly other than dungeons

[open bolt]

Jump on the raft, then press E to use the rudder at the back of the raft to control it. then use A and D control the raft left and right, and S to go backwards if needed

You can also press W to increase speed going forward. 1, 2, or 3 arrows appear depending on the speed. Speed 2 and 3 are only good if your are going in the direction on the wind.
Then to go back to slower speeds just press S again until you have the ideal speed level.

[open bolt]

Not that I know. But I think the royal jelly inside the dungeons respawns after sometime.

"As of patch 0.213.4, all Royal jelly piles in Infested Mines will respawn every four hours." (according to the Valheim wiki)

[unreal iris]

when i press s a or d i move

the raft doesnt

[open bolt]

are you in the position of using the rudder?

Press E to use the rudder. The character will go into sailing position automatically. then press W to start moving forward slowly with the first speed.

S is to go backwards/lowering the speed/stopping.

It might help if you watch a video online explaining the Raft/boats controls. I think it helps if you see it for yourself.

[solar plaza]

Oh damn, i honestly thought they were a one time thing lol.

[rotund parrot]

Not only the jelly respawn in there and when you go back, there wont be any more doors or vines to contain them

[unreal iris]

it doesnt go into sailing position

[open bolt]

🤔 that's weird. your character should automatically grab the rudder when you press E on the rudder object.

Try watching a video online.

[unreal iris]

i cant send pic

[toxic wave]

Tomorrow

[solar plaza]

Then don't and watch a video on it?

[wet wolf]

are you clicking E on the rudder or the mast?

[unreal iris]

what is a rudder or the mast

[wet wolf]

the mast is the sail

[open bolt]

rudder is the handle

[unreal iris]

i dont have a sail i think

[rotund parrot]

It's also not as simple as using wasd to sail, you need to row to go forward or turn agaisn't the wind and only when the wind is not facing you will you be able to lower the sail and move forward

[unreal iris]

i have a raft

[open bolt]

to control the boat. it is at the back of the raft

[unreal iris]

ooh back of ther aft

ok thx

[open bolt]

the mast is the vertical wooden bar in the middle of the raft. you can hold on to it, but that won't let you control the raft. only the rudder/handle does.

[solemn hawk]

do twigs make it easier to level blood magic or no

[open bolt]

I don't think so. Because the Skeletons won't attack it and Twig doesn't have enough damage to break our shield easily. Which are the only ways to get Blood Magic xp, as far as I know.

[solemn hawk]

dang that sucks

[open bolt]

Yeah 😅

[solemn hawk]

blood magic is one of the worst magics to level up 😭

[open bolt]

However, you can go figh lower level creatures whith the shield and let them break it to gain xp.

[final linden]

1st time in a burial chamber, didn't know this game can be so scary

[open bolt]

If the creatures aren't too strong, you have time to recover eiter and cast the shield again and again each time it breaks.

[solemn hawk]

yeah that method is just REALLY slow

ill try setting up a farm with greydwarves so i can just have skeletons shoot them

[solar plaza]

Have ye tried summon skels on top of bonemass spawn? It does great for keeping em out of harms way while they plink away

[open bolt]

That should work too.

[solemn hawk]

yeah i was just hopin it would have worked with the twigs

[candid basalt]

I just summon my skeles and shield them when I farm surtling farms for coal. Let my skeles deal with mobs

[open bolt]

it would have to be only ranged skeletons, right? sadly their combat style is random everytime 😅

[unreal iris]

i just got my ass blasted by a skeleton man

wtf was that

[solemn hawk]

was it a starred skeleton

[unreal iris]

yeah

[solemn hawk]

yeah they tend to do that

[unreal iris]

i had a lvl1 spear

[zinc sierra]

Tip: Skeles are weak to Blunt damage.

[unreal iris]

im weak to dying in 2hits

[solemn hawk]

i remember my first time goin to the black forest the first skeleton i encountered was 2*

[solar plaza]

Not fully, spawn is based on location ive found.

[solemn hawk]

and i just assumed that all skeletons were that strong

[unreal iris]

where are you supposed to go first when u get a raft

[solemn hawk]

have you beaten the first boss yet?

[unreal iris]

no

[solemn hawk]

yeah you shouldnt be goin to the black forest yet untill you kill the first boss

[icy trail]

How does the Demolisher 2x Stagger work? If the Demolisher does 150 Damage, and I have 100 Club skill for (rounding down) +100% damage, the damage should be 300, is it 2X off that or minus armor then 2x?

[open bolt]

I usually just summon then all in the same place and they get random combat styles

[unreal iris]

i ran out of deers to farm so i was like i guess im supposed to elave

[solar plaza]

Lemme double check it then, I sometimes miss if things get patched

[tacit crystal]

Basically damage x stagger multiplier, enemies don't have armor rate.

[open bolt]

wherever you want to go. you can use it to discover more islands or just to cross some bodies of water that you can't swim across.

[solemn hawk]

man the mistlands just hates me bro

i tried walkin in to collect my sap and a 1* gjall with a 2* seeker soldier were just waiting for me

just aint safe in the mistlands ever

first time even seeing a 1* gjall

[open bolt]

They should respawn tho. there's always plenty of deer. Unless you started on a tiny island, for example.

[tacit crystal]

Starred gjall are night spawn only.

[solemn hawk]

yeah i went durin the night cuz i waited a while

[open bolt]

i never saw that

[solemn hawk]

i regret goin to the mistlands at night

[tacit crystal]

I once died to 2 star one.

[solar plaza]

I have yet to find a starred gjall myself or experience their raid. They still show up at the worst times tho lol

[candid basalt]

I can melee a starred seeker soldier. 2 star I panic. A starred gjall I cry

[tacit crystal]

Gjall raid can only happen in Mistlands.

[open bolt]

Is there a gjall raid? 😅 glad I haven't had that one.

[icy trail]

Does the Club Skill increase the Stagger? Is there some caveat to the Demolisher damage, because I don't feel like I'm doing 150 damage plus 100%

[lunar sapphire]

The 100% should be the weapons durability

unless I'm mistaken

[tacit crystal]

No, stagger multiplier is same. Weapon damage depends on skill level, as shown next to the damage number in yellow, it shows the minimum to max of damage you can deal.

[solemn hawk]

gjalls can raid?!! thank god i never live in the mistlands

[icy trail]

How does Stagger work then? If a Charred Warrior has a Stagger of 50%, I thought that meant an incoming effect of 300 would Stagger him. So a Demolisher doing 100 damage, plus 100% from Club Skill, then a 2x Stagger multiplier would land an effect of 400, thereby causing a Charred Warrior to be Staggered.

[tacit crystal]

I show this for an example to make it bit clearer:
Orange damage number shows the potential maximum damage you can deal with it, yellow numbers show the minimum and maximum range for damage based on your skill level on that weapon type. In this picture my character has 47 axe skill level and 0 sword skill level.
Because of that range your weapon doesn't always deal the same amount of stagger. But still, 2h sledges have 2x multiplier for stagger on their attacks.

Stagger limit means how much stagger from attacks they can take of their maximum health before getting staggered.

[icy trail]

Thanks, I now understand where I was wrong. So.....any new two handed clubs coming out?

[tacit crystal]

Not that I would know, there is always possibility for additions in 1.0 update.

[solemn hawk]

whats the best etir amount for the mistlands, i finally got some minor etir potions but i dunno what a good amount of etir would be to have

125 seems like a relatively good amount but idk if i need both etir foods or just 1

[tacit crystal]

If I go mage I use 2 eitr foods and 1 stamina.

[solemn hawk]

but then id be really squishy no?

[tacit crystal]

Staff of protection makes up for the lack of HP.

[soft goblet]

Will boars eat crops that are ready to be harvested?

[solemn hawk]

oh yeah i forget about that staff

i might aswell make it

[tacit crystal]

No they don't.

[solemn hawk]

dont i need to level up blood magic ro make it better or do i just need to upgrade it

[icy trail]

BOth

[tacit crystal]

Upgrading increases the duration by 1 minute per quality. Blood magic skill increases the damage threshold of the bubble by 5 per skill level, but has minimum of 200 at lvl 0.

[solemn hawk]

so at max skill level it would be 700?

man i gotta grind blood magic that seems goated

[tacit crystal]

You should be able to see on weapon stats how much hp the bubble has based on your skill level.

It's super good even at low level.

[solemn hawk]

yeah 200 just extra health basically is goated

[candid basalt]

Bubble also goes on nearby friendlies

[solemn hawk]

oh yeah i forgot about that its been a while since i progressed this far

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, and it can be easily casted again if it breaks, jumping and casting at the same time to keep your movement so you can avoid getting hit.

[candid basalt]

Even if doing melee, having a bubble is nice because it keeps ticks off you

[solemn hawk]

oh it also protects against ticks?

ok yeah i gotta get that staff asap

[open bolt]

I suggest two Eitr foods and the best HP food you have atm.

[tacit crystal]

Plus you can parry any attack even with holding just fists while the bubble is on because you don't take damage thus don't get stagger either.

[solemn hawk]

oh i dont stagger with the blood bubble?

legit didnt know that ngl

ok yeah the blood bubble is far better than i remembered

[tacit crystal]

I mean you can't get staggered.

You can still stagger enemies, just to clarify.

And Ember staff can stagger since it also deals blunt damage.

[open bolt]

I usually eat two eitr and one hp, because blood magic takes a lof of hp. at least during the lower skill levels.

if it's only elemental magic, i guess stamina food is ok. but then I wouldn't have the blood shield.

[lusty dirge]

Bloodmagic only takes a percentage of current health, not of your max. So you can't kill yourself with it, no matter how low your health is

[rotund parrot]

When doing magic I much prefered keeping the bubble at full health at all time by dodging attacks instead of parrying with it since it doesn't last long that way and leave you vulnerable with the bubble on low health

[solar plaza]

I checked it, wasn't able to consistently get them to spawn in a single spot. I think that mighta changed 🤷‍♂️

[ripe skiff]

We are due a word from the devs soon right? Been a while

[solar plaza]

Still ain't hard to use a butcher knife on em tho

[open bolt]

🤔 oh... i never thought about that... i usually eat the hp food so i can summon many skeletons and also the shield. but i guess that makes sense.
still, if the shield does break during combat, then i'm safer if i have more hp anyway 😅

[solemn hawk]

oh i thought it was a percentage of max thats good to hear

[open bolt]

=" ) I see. Thanks for checking anyway! ^^

[rotund parrot]

Depends on difficulty and enemies, on higher difficulty and against strong enemies you still get 1 hit so the amount of health doesn't matter in that case

[lusty dirge]

I really like 1 Feast + 2 Eitr foods, gives a good base of health and stamina + a lot of eitr

• Mistland/Ashlands feast when possible

[open bolt]

oh, yeah! the feast thing.. i never really used it. i was just buying the thing today from the bogwitch. i'll try it tomorrow i guess.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, like stated above you cannot die on casting blood magic staves since they take only the amount of % of your current HP, not max.

[solemn hawk]

i misread what the etir potion did and now i feel like a fool

[tacit crystal]

The minor? Basically same as minor/medium HP/stamina but for regaining eitr fast.

[solemn hawk]

yeah for some reason i thought it would give 125 etir for a few minutes 😭

[tacit crystal]

Seems like minor mistake.

[tired path]

Feasts are a nice balanced meal. You can go 2 Eitr + 1 Stam and you'll have very little HP. 2 Eitr + 1 HP and you'll have little Stamina. YOu can get the Plains feast for an acceptable amount of both

The Mistlands Feast is particularly good because it also gives you 33 Eitr on top of the HP and Stam

So it's great for mage builds, 2 Eitr + Mushrooms Galore is very very good

[solemn hawk]

is there any food im like missing in the mistlands that give more etir or is etir kinda just always low

[rotund parrot]

There's 3 prepared eitr recipe unlocked with mistlands ingredients

[solemn hawk]

oh rn i have the seekers aspic and the porridge whats the other one

[rotund parrot]

Then once you defeated the boss you unlock the ability to buy an ingredients to make a feast giving you eitr

Stuffed mushroom

[tired path]

Seeker Aspic and Yggdrasil Porridge is all you get

Oh, and the Stuffed Mushroom

[tacit crystal]

Stuffed mushroom and Seeker aspic are great and fairly cheap which I use if I play as mage, porridge can be more costly to make as it require also sap, but it's required in the Mistlands feast after you defeat the Mistlands boss.

[rotund parrot]

If you play mage I do recommend you put a bit more time on putting up sap extractors as you need so much more than melee build for food, refined eitr and potions

[solemn hawk]

yeah rn i have 4 sap extractors

and in my n my friends world we got 1.5x drop rates so we usually get around 80 sap per harvest

[rotund parrot]

Yeah the 4x increase on sap for 1.5x definitely makes a big difference

[calm sigil]

hey me and my friends were looking at this game but noticed its almost been 2 years since their last major ashlands update, is this a dead game or are the devs still working on it just mega slow?

[merry pebble]

Its only few months from CtA update tho 😄

[wraith lion]

I wonder if this game would add workshop support

[tacit crystal]

Deep North is under production currently.

[calm sigil]

havent played so idk what that is just curious if theyre still workin on it or if it is what it is in its current state and if thats still worth a play through?

[grand juniper]

I'm hungry bros... any crumbs or hints of when the Deep north releases

[calm sigil]

oh cool so its not abandoned thanks for the info! i havent been able to see any dev updates or anything on true north so wasnt sure

[merry pebble]

As Joel said they are working on the last major update which will also be the 1.0 release 🙂

[calm sigil]

tbh i think if your not in the loop the game does look abandoned so im glad i checked in here we gonna try out a play through i think

thanks boys

[grand juniper]

Oh well if it's the 1.0 release it might be a while then. Devs usually overhaul a bunch of stuff before offical releases.

[tacit crystal]

Game got 2 "minor" updates since Ashlands, by "minor" with aposthropes I mean they're still pretty significant updates.

[calm sigil]

from an outsiders prospective the game looks abandoned due to lack of updates/dev news besides house pics and everyone was saying it was thats why im glad i checked in here we were on the fence about a playtrhough but im excited to hop on

lot of misinfo out there so i try to do my own research

any tips for our first run? will be 4 of us

[tacit crystal]

That's very wise, there are many sources spreading false info sadly.

Best is to trust the words of actual developers (Smiffe being most active dev in this server), also following https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 you will get any new info developers want to share to us.

[wraith lion]

as someone who plays the game purely for the builds with slow progression. I can say this game has plenty to offer in its current state despite haven't being updated recently. If you want challenge crank up the world settings, if you want peace in midgard, turn em down. either or the game is really fun!

nearly 200 hours deep in valheim

[zinc sierra]

Combat is generally "Soulslike", lots of emphasis on deliberate movement rather than button mashing, learn to block, parry and dodge quick.

[tacit crystal]

If first timers, don't use Google, figuring things out without googling info is the best experience IMHO.

[wraith lion]

Inventory, Stamina Management

PLENTY OF WOOD

[tacit crystal]

Remember stay rested and use best available foods when venturing into new biomes.

The game guide Hugin gives solid info about mechanics of the game.

[wraith lion]

I always found building a feast hall with friends before adventures is great

[thorn citrus]

Gather a lot of wood

Wood is good, I like wood

[tired path]

Bear in mind that Valheim isn't your average live service game. It gets updates because it's on early access, but it plans to be a finished product. So, at one point, it'll """"die"""" in huge quotation marks, because it's the same thing as saying that Dark Souls 2 is a "dead game". Doesn't really make that much sense.

[candid basalt]

You never have enough wood/stone/iron

[calm sigil]

Thanks for the tips guys ima be sure to gather extra of everything and I’m usually the resident builder so it looks like I’ll be having a great time, really friendly discord for new players here I love it

[zinc sierra]

The building mechanics on Valheim are about the best I've played with in it's genre.

[thorn citrus]

Oh yeah you're gonna love it

I don't want to spoil anything but the building mechanics gets more and more complex and detailed the further you go in the progression, so you won't get overwhelmed at first but still be able to have access to a large variety of constructions, so yeah building isn't meant to be an option but a core mechanic of the game (I think)

[candid basalt]

The point of progression is better building materials.

Who cares what Odin thinks

[digital saddle]

Complex mechanics?

[thorn citrus]

each materials doesn't act the same

some act for support, others for detail, some are better for defense

[abstract warren]

Anyone here plays with mods?

[fast crescent]

I do

[fast crescent]

I hardly play vanilla anymore. What's up

[abstract warren]

I was wondering if I should install some QoL mods

[fast crescent]

I highly recommend

[abstract warren]

It's technically my second playthrough but I've only ever gotten to mountains

So it's kinda like my first

[fast crescent]

Look up azumat on thunderstore

And smoothbrain mods

[abstract warren]

Lol

Literally called that?

[fast crescent]

Yeah the creator name lol I sent you a DM about mod lists

[tacit crystal]

In case you missed it, there is https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 for these discussions. 👍

[abstract warren]

Oh

Thanks

[vernal wedge]

I hate the mistlands for a simple reason: not enough enemy variety. I just feel like there's no content
Ok there's a good amount of crafts but weapons don't serve any purpose if there's no more than 2 enemies to deal with (tick are anecdotal and gjall are easy to kill)

I know Ashlands will correct this but still I don't understand how they took all this time for this biome to not have more enemies
I can still go in a fuling camp and feel excited

[chrome badge]

Seekers, Soldiers, Dvergr Rogue, Dvergr Mage, Ticks and Gjall. That's 6.

[mellow shadow]

Day 365! 1 in game year anniversary!

[vernal wedge]

dvergrs are neutrals by default and are basically fulings

[chrome badge]

Yes, you said this.

I can still go in a fuling camp and feel excited

There's multiple scenarios that encourage the player to aggro the Dvergr as well.

[vernal wedge]

yeah i get black metal, gold, flax, barley, leathers for my trouble

ok nvm there's tissue

i'll fuck off

[fast nexus]

when release date?

[timber marsh]

Will the deep north have a Tim hortons

[tacit crystal]

Nope.

There is no release date announced.

[glacial walrus]

Can I dodge and not end up sneaking?
The sneak key is a toggle button, I'd like it to be press to perform

[weak cypress]

Block and jump

[thorn citrus]

I genuinly thought they were joking I'm sorry

[tacit crystal]

No worries.

It's better not give direct answers for release dates, joking or not, since only developers have that info and they don't want any false info spreading, since some people might believe what is being said here.

Current best answer for any release info is "It's released when it's ready".

[thorn citrus]

True

[tacit crystal]

Since you're new it seems you were not aware of it. Hope my explanation gave you some light on the matter. 🙂

[smoky saddle]

Does anybody have any solutions to this? Whenever I am playing Valheim with my brother locally I keep disconnecting every 5 minutes and even Discord crashes too

[eternal crow]

Probably ur internet connection is bad

[smoky saddle]

It averages out at about 60mbps

But yesterday I barely disconnected at all. Its just weird

[final hinge]

https://x.com/i/status/2011559637360001115

[timber marsh]

That's mcdonalds mountain

[final hinge]

The coffee is better at McDonald's anyways

[timber marsh]

I drink mead

The lavender mead we made came out great

[unreal iris]

is that a new a update

[trail pelican]

Deep North is the final biome that's not yet released and will mark the official full completion of Valheim which, you wouldn't know it from its polished presently existing state, is actually technically still in early-access

[upbeat sail]

Lavender mead sounds awesome

[smoky saddle]

Weve just found a black forest biome surrounded by mistlands and south west is a small section of Plains. Got a plan to build a farm that crosses all three biomes

[still birch]

I have a spawn with an island that's half meadows, half plains with a little offshore swamp and even a draugr spawn village

Guess where my new farming base will go . .

[trail pelican]

nice

those "biome boundaries' tend to be some of the best places for bases, both visual diversity and east access to a variety of materials, and climates for farming since not every crop and be grown in every biome

[upbeat sail]

Does armor help vs piercing damage?

[trail pelican]

yes that's just a "type"

like the way "fire" or "frost (cold)" damage is 'typed'

[upbeat sail]

ah okay so it doesn't actually pierce? It's just for the resistance thing?

[trail pelican]

it would have no effect/difference whatsoever but for the fact that enemies have different weakeness & strengths to types

exactly it's not "armor piercing" in any sense like that

[upbeat sail]

Nice, so eventually deathsquitos stop being oneshot machines

[trail pelican]

exactly

[nocturne wolf]

The only damage type not reduced by armor is pure damage, which is mostly used for fall damage, drowning and damage over time ticks.

[trail pelican]

that is an important bit of helpful additional info

[upbeat sail]

okay that seems fair yeah

ty for all the info guys 🙂

[trail pelican]

np

[upbeat sail]

Sorry if i ask something stupid and easy to google but im trying to avoid spoilers. Will there eventually be a better way to get iron? Im at the plains now and im tired of going back to the swamp all the time

[nocturne wolf]

there will be new ways to get iron and you might not need as much as you do in plains

[upbeat sail]

well spoiler alert for those who also haven't progressed so far but im trying to make the padded armor and it asks for a load of iron again

and for building too

[gray sand]

You will never stop needing iron and swamps will always have the highest amount of it.

So it is best to make your peace with going back every so often.

[upbeat sail]

😭 allright

[gray sand]

If you're in Plains already, Swamps are a cakewalk on return so 🤷‍♂️

[upbeat sail]

Yeah its not about the difficulty haha, just not very interresting to do

[rotund parrot]

At least it gets considerably faster as you get further in the game, get better pickaxes and higher pickaxe skill

[upbeat sail]

thats true

[still birch]

Iron might be the most valuable resource in the game. It's needed for gear, weapons, building . .

[tepid prawn]

https://irongate.se/ 😂

[solemn hawk]

whats like the best weapon for the queen

[tepid prawn]

magic, embers and bubble staff is amazing for her, or do you want melee option?

[solemn hawk]

i was just looking for a side weapon for when im regenerating etir

[tepid prawn]

Mistwalker / Carapace buckler, Demolisher are good to have

[solemn hawk]

is the skull splittur any good? it looks pretty cool

[tepid prawn]

actually tbh I have not used that one yet, its relatively new and I haven't done a battle axe play through since it got added, the previous tier of this weapon was taking some time to get used to, but definitely effective if you learn how to fight well with it

[paper marsh]

Pretty nice for mistlands, especially dungeons

I’m not a huge fan of it in Ashlands but maybe thats just me

[tepid prawn]

You just convinced me to make one in current playthrough

[near furnace]

it's haven't even been 5 years yet

typical is 5-7 years 🤔

@forest heron did you just go "oh shit" ?

nice

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202323331148161115/1449558629362438215/jumping.gif

our users aren't here just to humor trolls

[short garden]

any info if Deep North will have a high mountains? I've seen screenshots only with kinda flat lands. I want to build a huge project on my survi world, but idk if I should wait for that biome

[near furnace]

non given

[tacit crystal]

Personally wouldn't mind if the terrain is flatter there. We already have mountains which has higher altitudes.

[atomic hare]

i feel it will be mostly flat just not to be the same as the mountains biome

[short garden]

k thanks

[tepid prawn]

just speculation at this stage though, we'll know when we know

[slow leaf]

According to the map generator, some of the deep north areas have mountain biomes interspersed among them, so it may have mountains but they may just be... mountains. Could change, though

[tepid prawn]

yeah we don't know if this will change or not, and probably won't until it comes out

[heady epoch]

Is there a channel for “new player who summoned Eikthyr thinking he would be easy and immediately regretted it and had to move bases”?

[tepid prawn]

Asking for a player to hop in and help with a disaster like that here is okay, but if no one available to help you, make a post in #1024264966712340510 for this

[digital saddle]

not really. just use devcommands to kill him if hes too hard

[tepid prawn]

I can't help right now as I'm working

[tepid prawn]

not my recommendation to tempt a new player with this thing, can ruin someone's experience if they are not disciplined

[heady epoch]

I ended up just using that haha. I was just being a goof, and learned the hard way. Then disabled it after

Luckily I have experience in gaming and console commands so I’m not tempted to cheat; ruins the fun

[digital saddle]

If they want that power they'll get it anyways. Devcommands and debugmode can save play throughs.

The game is incredibly glitchy and merciless at points.

It's also interesting to learn the commands, and learn about the game's unity code.

[solemn hawk]

i personally havent encountered many bugs at all except for the broken furnaces every once in a while

[tepid prawn]

I would not agree with incredibly glitchy

[digital saddle]

I've lost two star animals and equipment, and a 4 star fish to bugs.

[solemn hawk]

what bugs do that

[tepid prawn]

yeah how?

[digital saddle]

there was one where it would group fish together, and the four star fish got counted in the stack.

and then my fish got turned into a one star.

I've had two star boars despawn randomly.

[solemn hawk]

re you sure they werent killed by enemies while you were away?

[digital saddle]

Positive.

[solemn hawk]

or did you just see them dissapear

[tepid prawn]

hm I have not encountered these, this is all 100% Vanilla yeah?

[digital saddle]

They disappeared. And yes.

That's why I recommended knowing devcommands.

Can help in certain situations.

[paper marsh]

Haven’t really encountered that

[atomic hare]

same

[solemn hawk]

me and my friend were doing a friendly duel and his cowardly self used a fire res when my main dmg source is fire

how dare he

[atomic hare]

know thy enemy

[solemn hawk]

it is cowardly to fear the damage type of one you know when he is vastly stronger

[atomic hare]

so when you fight bonemass do you use poison res ?

[solemn hawk]

bonemass isnt a friendly duel

[atomic hare]

hes still an enemy that you prepare for

[solemn hawk]

yes but what is the point of a fair duel if one uses petty tricks to gain the upper hand

[atomic hare]

i see as getting perpare for a fight how evenlly match were you both ?

[solemn hawk]

I was doing meagre damage since he used his fire res while he had 2x my health and basically 2x my defense

he removed all fairness as soon as he popped fire res

[atomic hare]

well if he already had twice the health and defence it didnt seem fair to begin with without the fire res

[solemn hawk]

nah cuz fire does heavy damage

[atomic hare]

what was his gear vs you

[solemn hawk]

his carapace to my etir weave

[atomic hare]

i feel like no matter what it would of been unfair no matter what as there just too many variables, i would think best play is let it go as it is and be more perpare yourself for the next one

[fossil delta]

I would suspect that if it is glitchy for anyone any longer, its because there is something wrong with the system they are using. My wife uses a laptop on the lower end of the recommended settings, and the only problem she has is how long it takes for her to get through a portal. I only have a similar issue when I play with her, so suspect it has more to do with using a server via Steam.

[solemn hawk]

does the queen heal if you leave the arena

i forget

she doesnt right? not a substantial amount anyways

[atomic hare]

yea she fully heals

[solemn hawk]

i just checked the wiki ur lyin

why you gotta lie for no reason bro 😭

she heals like slowly over time

[atomic hare]

im pretty sure she heals when you leave the arena

[solemn hawk]

not a substantial amount at all

[atomic hare]

one of you could stay in as the other leaves as needed to stop her from healing

[glossy heath]

all enemies in the game heal at all times (even while being attacked) at a rate of 100% of their max health per hour.
it's very slow and gradual

[solemn hawk]

yeah i knew that, i was just making sure of it yk

didnt wanna accidentally leave and come back to her at 100%

[rotund dust]

Anyone else getting the 9,999,999 bug?

My son and I keep randomly hitting things for this

(neither of us have mods, we play vanilla)

[atomic hare]

wierd ?

[rotund dust]

Never seen nor had it on any other time we've ever played in years

[paper marsh]

Just started a new run and found 4 copper deposits at the very edge of BF with tin nearby too, right near a village. Seems like a nice place for a base

[atomic hare]

whats are you usually doing when it triggers like is it certain mods and weapons or just random

[atomic hare]

ohh very nice score

[rotund dust]

Nah, theres nothing that seems to trigger it... I've tried replicating it, for the purpose of it getting fixed. its just happening randomly

Happened on rocks, boat, stones, growths, so aint like its limited to one type of material, and happened with an axe, a sword, a bow, so not one weapon type either.

We both turned off our comps, and checked for updates, nothing. Happened the next day too

[paper marsh]

Definitely nice to have a closeby and semi-safe source of it while doing vhard permadeath 😅

Can get some gear before hunting down trolls and bears

[rotund dust]

Hold Torch, bear becomes scared, easy kill. Or put campfire under him XD

[atomic hare]

try a new world for a short bit to see if it happens there plus try different characters

[paper marsh]

Feels cheesy to me

[atomic hare]

doing hardcore with my friend too and it can be very scary at times manged to get some iron early thou which helps

[paper marsh]

Nice! imo iron age is where it gets a lot easier. Get access to mistlands tier food and root chestplate, among other things

I tend to die in BF on a lot of runs though because I get overconfident 😓

[rotund dust]

Well then the other option is, once you know his attack patterns, dodge, and kill. 🙂

No need ores for that 😄

[atomic hare]

i manged to get some iron off the doors in the caves in the mountians but that area is risky enough as it is too

[paper marsh]

True, it's what I usually do. But that rare once in a while I miss one dodge and have to delete the world feels bad so I usually prefer to get geared to the point where I can tank 1 hit

[rotund dust]

I lost a 200 day hardcore server jumping off my 2nd floor without food on, shit happens 😂😂

[paper marsh]

roughhhhh

[ocean kettle]

So is the building ideas tab asking and sharing building ideas or just sharing

[raven dagger]

When do enemies despawn? If you shut the game?

[rotund dust]

Depends, some only spawn at night. They despawn at day. They deaggro if you log out, but dont despawn

[raven dagger]

Ugh. I fled through a portal from a Deathsquito, and I’m wondering if I can ever go back, XD

[atomic hare]

be careful ur portal doesnt get destoyed

[raven dagger]

It hasn’t been

[rotund dust]

Yeah going thru portal ,normally they keep attacking it

Where as logging out "cheeses" their aggro

[raven dagger]

I have it in an alcove, the entrance is where the Deathsquito was tho

[glossy heath]

adding onto that, yea, only enemies spawned by specific night-only spawn rules or invasions can despawn at all, everything else is permanent (and usually patrols the area where the enemy first spawned while calm)

probably a 50/50 whether the squito turns around to return to its anchor point or spots you again as soon as you enter the portal 😅

[raven dagger]

So, the Squito spotted me from a neighboring Plains and came after me, who was in a Black Forest. I’m trying to enter a Swamp, also adjacent to the Plains in question.

[rotund dust]

Pull out weapon, swat the deathsquito, it'll die

[raven dagger]

My weapon is a Quality 4 Iron Sword, I have zero clue how tough Deathsquitos are, just that this was my first time surviving a hit from one

[rotund dust]

Thats a one hit on them, they hit like trucks, but lack hp

Assume you have an iron buckler too?

[raven dagger]

I see, I hope I manage to hit it before dying then, XD

The Banded one, yeah

[rotund dust]

Parry, it'll get staggered for a moment, one hit it 🙂

[raven dagger]

Hard for me to parry a mob on the first try, but I’ll make the attempt!

[open bolt]

Deathsquitos are glass cannons. High damage, but very squishy. However, they are fast. u.u So it's good to try parrying them, because running isn't always an option.

[raven dagger]

My last run, three years ago, petered out in the Mountains, so I’ve never done the Plains proper

[open bolt]

But if you are close to other biomes, you can run to those biomes and the deathsquito will eventually get aggro on a creature from there and stop chasing you. whichs gives time to run away.

[raven dagger]

Deathsquito seemed to ignore Draugr, in this instance

[open bolt]

🤔

[raven dagger]

At least, it hated me more, XD

[mortal thicket]

Guys im taming a 2star wolf can it be tamed during the daytime if it started at night?

[open bolt]

How about the Black Forest that you came from? I'm sure the deathsquito won't refuse killing some greydwarves there xD

[atomic hare]

as long as you stay near it

[raven dagger]

It’s teeny, just a coastline really

[glossy heath]

if it has already eaten, it should no longer attempt to despawn at all and progress continues during daytime

[mortal thicket]

alright thank you

[glossy heath]

if it hasn't eaten yet, you do still need to stay near it until the next night

[mortal thicket]

so I can leave it be if its eating to get it some more food

[glossy heath]

95% sure yes, do ping me if it goes wrong 😅 but i'm pretty certain there was a patch addressing how tedious it was to tame stared wolves ages ago

[mortal thicket]

alright it didnt despawn yay

[atomic hare]

i think there is a potion to help taming as well

[mortal thicket]

Love potion?

Nope animal whispers

bog witchlove potion increase's troll spawn rate and starred chance apparentlyy

[rotund dust]

What do we need a 2* wolf for my son?

[mortal thicket]

Wolf boat

[glass edge]

Oh, thats right, the troll one haha

[mortal thicket]

does anybody know the drop chance for cultist trophy

[rotund dust]

Whats the % chance of Cultist trophy? Rarer than bear trophy imo

[mortal thicket]

I said it first!

[chrome badge]

The same, 10%

[mortal thicket]

intresting

[glass edge]

Rancid skeleton trophy still eludes me to this day

[mortal thicket]

I've only ever seen one of those

[rotund dust]

You mean the one I found 🙂

[glass edge]

Dont think ive seen the ghost one since they changed ghosts as well

[rotund dust]

Ghosts used to drop nothing, I know they drop Ectoplasm since the change, do they even have a trophy?

[glass edge]

Yeah, pretty sure new ghost with the ecto has a trophy now

[chrome badge]

The new ghosts don't despawn after their raid. I have 2 caged up outside my gates, it looks awesome.

[mortal thicket]

Ghost Raid?

[chrome badge]

Yeah the chill down your spine raid

[mortal thicket]

Havent heard of it before is it new?

[glass edge]

If they look as good as brenna's I'll spend a weekend taking my demolisher back to black forest

[chrome badge]

I believe it is new yes

It's enabled after Bonemass is defeated

[mortal thicket]

2 star wolf 83%

[rotund dust]

We still havent gotten a single raid, and we're up to summoning moder, (And taming wolves apparently)

And my son spends alot of time building/at base

[mortal thicket]

Ive only built 3 castles

[glass edge]

Sounds like you turned raids off in settings?

[mortal thicket]

there on

[rotund dust]

Nah Ive chekced a few times

[glass edge]

That's insane, haha

[chrome badge]

It's possible not encounter them like that, they just have a small chance of activating around base items after 45min of gameplay

[mortal thicket]

ive been afk taming a wolf for ages and all my base building ive done

Do 2 star wolf's tame faster at night?

[chrome badge]

No, only with taming meads does it happen faster.

[mortal thicket]

alright

[glass edge]

Being hunted by wolves is anywhere in game, seems statistically unlikely to have no raids by now

[chrome badge]

That's just mountains or plains

[mortal thicket]

not in mistlands or ashlands?

[chrome badge]

No, the wolves will only hunt you in those 2 biomes.

[mortal thicket]

ohh

Wolf has been tamed

What do i name it

[glass edge]

Kitty

[mortal thicket]

alright

[glass edge]

Haha, that's a terrible name

[mortal thicket]

to bad

My friend likes to name wolves typical Xbox tags from 2007, like xXWolf833Xx

[rotund dust]

Hes walking thru the mountains with his wolf named Kitty -.-

[glass edge]

Get that meat farm going too

[mortal thicket]

nah im gonna get 30-50 and make a wolf boat

[open bolt]

same 😂

[open bolt]

I had a Wraith ambush me outside of my base once, because of that raid. The wraith stayed there. I didn't know. I was on low HP foods since I was just building stuff in my base that day. The thing almost one shot me. u.u

[rotund dust]

I thought once you killed the Hildir Bosses, it made all those areas 1*? Howling Caverns/Burial Chambers

[mortal thicket]

day 56 and alsmost up to moder

[chrome badge]

That's why they're my favorite mob(not really it's just because they look cool).

[open bolt]

They do xD
they also scared the hell out of me when I saw one in the game for the first time. One of those days I stayed in the Swamp for too long and the night came. But they do look cool.

[glass edge]

Camping out in one of those fishermen's huts on stilts as you search for crypts is the best

[rotund dust]

Speaking of "fisherman" I wish each biome fish did something more than just turn to fish

Would love a reason to fish 😛

[mortal thicket]

for a fisherman hat thats a flex

[open bolt]

I think we can get a hat or something

[open bolt]

with one of each fish, right?

[mortal thicket]

yeah

[glass edge]

Fish and bread is... mistlands anglerfish?

[mortal thicket]

yes

[open bolt]

btw, speaking of fish. i went on a trip to the unfinished deep north yesterday, and there's northern salmon there. do we need that one for the hat too? or just the other fishes?

[mortal thicket]

golden anglerfish its called or something

Probally

good question

No its called fish and bread

[glass edge]

Have to re discover all my mountain caves for that tetra pool, wish I had marked it separate to the other caves

[mortal thicket]

ooo

I forgot to mark it oopsie

[rotund dust]

I didnt think of that... Only found one tetra pool so far

[open bolt]

btw, does catching fish by hand count to have the hat? 😅 I caught all my tetra by hand

[mortal thicket]

yes it does

[raven dagger]

What sort of differences can there be in worlds with the same seed?

[mortal thicket]

you just need the item in your inventory

none I dont think

chest loot?

[raven dagger]

Would Crypts and such in the same spots be different?

[open bolt]

I guess the POIs, depending on the patch 🤔

if it's the same patch, I guess they would be the same?

[glass edge]

Traders i believe, but can spawn in the same spot

[mortal thicket]

wish us luck on moder

[glass edge]

You won't need it but good luck!

[open bolt]

that too. since it depends on the location we find them first

[open bolt]

Moder's music is always so nice.
I mean, all musics in Valheim are super good. But Moder's has that "sad but epic" vibe. Goes well with the lore.

[rotund dust]

The sky in mountain with moder beautioful too

[open bolt]

Yes 😌

[rotund dust]

"Moder is in Tears" feels so sad killing her

[glass edge]

Moder's head on the wall looks amazing, too, haha. Just shy of eik for me

[open bolt]

it does 😢

[rotund dust]

Like she dont nothing wrong.

[open bolt]

she's always the saddest boss to kill. i don't wanna do it 😅

the tears are so important to the progress tho

[mortal thicket]

I hate killing 2 star necks

[open bolt]

if it wasn't for that, i'd try a "no Moder run"

[open bolt]

they are so beautiful

[mortal thicket]

Wait I just realised We havent handed in elder trophy yet and we just killed moder lol

Time to build a stone castle in the planes

[rotund dust]

I got my Ekithyr buff, you can hand in the other trophies 😄

[open bolt]

I have a second Eikthyr trophy in my main base, but that's about it. I usually just kill each boss once

[mortal thicket]

Same

[rotund dust]

Now t oslaughter whole villages to get black metal (We found Yagluth before Moder/Bonemass)
So onwards to the next stage!

NGL Valheim with ya kids are fun 🙂

[open bolt]

family gaming?

[mortal thicket]

ye

[fossil delta]

Unfortunately for us, only my wife and I like playing Valheim.

[open bolt]

That sounds good too.

[fossil delta]

Oh, it is. We have over 2600 hours together.

[mortal thicket]

WOW

[open bolt]

I have a coop with my bf, and a few solo runs.
But he's usually the chill type. And we are in the Ashlands rn which is not chill at all 😅 so he gets tired more easily.

[open bolt]

wow indeed

[fossil delta]

Yeah, Ashlands is nearly non stop fighting.

[mortal thicket]

We have had many servers up to mistlands that got deleted from incorrect cloud saves 🙁

[open bolt]

I also have a coop with a friend but we can't play a lot because of timezone difference

[open bolt]

Yeah. Can't blame him for getting tired. He usually likes to stay at the base and build things. So many times I go to the Ashlands alone or other biomes to gather resources. But he also insists that he wants to experience the game with me, so I try not to progress a lot by myself. It's our world after all.

[fossil delta]

On Steam?

[mortal thicket]

yeah

My toon just dced lost cloud save so now where missing moder trophy and 8 dragon tears

[rotund dust]

Get to fight it again 😄

[fossil delta]

I have a friend who preferred building, but he did a fair amount of fighting too. He recently tried to play with us again, but between his work hours and health issues, he ended up stopping.

[fossil delta]

You could use dev commands to spawn replacements.

[open bolt]

Maybe he can come back a little for the deep north later? =" )

[mortal thicket]

Thats what I said

[rotund dust]

I refuse, dont believe in it.

[fossil delta]

That would be great, but he didn't even make it into the plains this last time.

[open bolt]

I see... He wouldnt know the progress to the deep north so maybe it wouldn't make a lot of sense.

[fossil delta]

I don't use them either, but when its losses due to game glitches, I may do it, depending on what it takes to get replacements. I don't mind fighting Moder, so I would just fight her again.

[rotund dust]

I will fight her again, and hopefully this time, Zalane doesnt go fight a Stone golem leaving boss to me 😂

[open bolt]

I mean, Stone Golem can be worse than Moder 😂

The problem is that Moder spawned with damage and hp for two players.

[fossil delta]

I agree, since they don't fly around like Moder, and give you a breather.

[open bolt]

I mean, my bf basically killed Yagluth alone since I kept getting killed... 😅

Yagluth was the worst boss for me so far.

[odd flare]

3 plains 2 trophies. 1 more....hopefully

[fossil delta]

Yagluth was the toughest for me back when he was the last boss.

[glass edge]

They look so good, although bonemass is... interesting. Base building and decorating is a game unto itself

[rotund dust]

Bonemass reminds me of Zalanes mum, so I dont touch it.

[glass edge]

The pillars around my first yagluth fight look like Swiss cheese suspended in the air, so much los blocking

[open bolt]

It is. I also noticed how much more difficult/complex it is to build with late game materials. They look great and are very resistant, but also difficult imo.
On the other hand, they also leave plenty of room for creativity tho.

[fossil delta]

Some build materials are for very specific things, like framing the dvergr door.

[open bolt]

🤔 I see.

[glass edge]

Gives you a lot of reasons to go back out to old zones or set up bases within mistlands rather than a main safe haven in a lesser biome

[fossil delta]

I haven't done any serious builds with the Ashlands materials, so no idea if they have any quasi specific use situations.

[open bolt]

i just used some in a very simple way to protect my portal and chests there

[glass edge]

Grausten has the fanciest of stonework. But a very clean look I find tough to integrate

[fossil delta]

Pretty much all I have done with them as well. I have seen some impressive builds with those mats, though, so I will eventually get around to a serious build.

[open bolt]

in my solo playthrough I'm sticking to the main base in the Meadows so far. But I reshape it and decorate it with new materials when I have them. So it's a very experimental base too.

I didn't use to build that much until this playthrough where made everything myself. So my base was kinda weird and lacked support in the beginning, but I started to reshape it and improve it as I learned.

[fossil delta]

Thats what I have done my last few, play throughs. Well, its getting close to 10 now, so I guess "few" is the wrong word to use.

[open bolt]

it's a very "original" base haha also because of the location. xD the location doesn't allow me to expand the base a lot, so it's like a tetris game with Valheim building

[fossil delta]

I learned long ago to give myself plenty of room in my main base, so expanding things is always an option for me.

[open bolt]

yeah... i made that "mistake" since i didn't use to build a lot before. But then i built my small base and didn't want to leave it or destroy it. so I kept on building there, eventho i don't have a lot of space

i guess not having space wasn't that bad for the creativity in a way.

[fossil delta]

Well am on something like my 30th + base, so have had lots of learning situations for knowing what I need to do.

[open bolt]

my base is on a small piece of Meadows just between two cliffs. so it's on a high place, but a very narrow place.

[glass edge]

Same, haha. Just build a dock they said, and some beehives... ended up with a shipyard and a full apiary...

[fossil delta]

Plus I make a lot of mini bases in most of the biomes.

[open bolt]

Also considering that I am in the Ashlands rn and it has worked so far, i don't think i will need a lot more space.

[fossil delta]

Plus using a Citadel for a base is pretty roomy. You can also make many levels inside of it.

[open bolt]

wait, you can build inside of it?!

usually we can't build inside dungeons so I thought the Citadel was like that too

[fossil delta]

I have. Put down flooring, etc..

[glass edge]

Doing that atm to the outside of the towers in Plains. Building spires and spirals up the side of it

[open bolt]

omg 👀 i wanna try that

dungeon base \o/

[fossil delta]

You mean that tower we get eggs out of?

The Hildur quest tower?

[glass edge]

Yeah, the trader quest one. Indestructible outer wall you can attach iron beams to to build full bases off of it

[fossil delta]

Nice. I have always thought those balconies it has would make it easy to integrate with an exterior build.

[glass edge]

Yep, the balconies are technically outside the dungeon area so can put anything on them

[fossil delta]

Plus the view from the top of that tower is usually pretty nice.

[glass edge]

Another 'we just need a place to grow barley and flax' and my mind went wild with ideas

[open bolt]

barley, flax and some extras 👍

[glass edge]

There's now a herd of lox roaming the fields, I went a little overboard feeding them cloudberries...

[open bolt]

I the mistlands I don't really have a base, but I have a bed and a portal in a small dvergr port building by the sea.

my mistlands farm and roots for the sap are near that building

[open bolt]

they can guard the house when you are away. ❤️

[glass edge]

Some of the dwarf huts have a nice basement, I like building in them after evicting the occupants. Need that mushroom farm

[open bolt]

we have one of those in the coop world.
in my solo world i just have a very small one, without the basement. it's cozy.

it's also by the sea, so it's a free port in the mistlands. my boat can stay close to me.

[glass edge]

Clever, the spot under the Queen is a good one too

Convenient access

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I'd like to do something with that area under the Queen. Just by the time I get to her, I already have my farm, etc... well established. So not much motivation to do anything by then.

[glass edge]

Definitely my hardest to find boss, those tablets in mistlands are so rare or I am amazingly unlucky!

[open bolt]

Mine didn't take so long to find, but I only found that one so far.

Btw, I did a Frost Cave in a mountain in the Deep North, and it had a Moder vegvisir xD

[odd flare]

got my last trophy, and i made it to the bottom of a sealed tower. zil and thungr trophies

[glass edge]

Hesitant to travel up there so it doesn't 'load in' the assets before they release. Very excited to see it

[open bolt]

rn it's just an empty frozen land. but it can have mountain biomes. I wonder what will happen to those mountains after the release...

[hasty citrus]

has there been a word from the devs since november? Im just curious

[open bolt]

not yet, i think.

[odd flare]

whats hildirs chest do for me

[hasty citrus]

oh well im lookin forward to it

[open bolt]

if you take it to Hildir you can buy more different clothes there.

you will have more options to buy. different colors and styles.

[odd flare]

is ther a chest for each merchant in the bottom of those towers?

[open bolt]

three chests, all for Hildir

[odd flare]

boo

[open bolt]

one in a tower, one in a dungeon, one in a cave

[odd flare]

tower check

[open bolt]

Basically you get them from three different mini bosses, like the one you just killed.

[stuck juniper]

Managed to take down a bear. Is there any food that can be made with its meat?

[tacit crystal]

Currently no.

[edgy warren]

bro ive dead ass just got 8 iron from an entire crypt

2 of the 3 pathways at the start were blokced of

and there were 3 muddy scrap piles down the 3rd pathway

😭

ok tf is this

i go to annother crypt.... 2 of the 3 pathways are walls😭 😭

i just want iron

[tepid prawn]

dude I managed to get 6 iron from 3 crypts, that was my worst, have found more than 1 crypt with 0 iron in my playtime.

[tepid prawn]

after my real bad 3 crypts the next 2 were like 45 and 84 or something

[edgy warren]

damn thats terrible luck

[edgy warren]

i mean my previous crypt was 120 iron so......

[tepid prawn]

ebbs and flows haha

at least I usually only need 5-7 iron per playthrough (units of fully filled longship holds I mean hahaha)

[fossil delta]

Yep. I've found crypts with no iron, as well as less than 10 iron. Fortunately they are actually rare, over all.

[long peak]

i remember i have found 7.5 stacks of iron in a crypt before it was huge with 2 big treasure room
1x world modifier (default) i think that was the record for me

[steel mica]

Hmm lightning chain arc

[barren turret]

I'd like to join someone in a game, but all the games there have passwords.

[near furnace]

yes. it's intended

go to #1024264966712340510 and look for servers

[steel mica]

Smiffe I got a question

[wary kettle]

Hello fellow Vikings!
I just downloaded this game last night. I am not even 2 hours in yet. In most survival games, I turn off base raids. My question for you all is this: will I be missing out on anything major in this game by turning off raids?

[unborn spruce]

voice acting for yagluth sounds like someone burping while talking

[chrome badge]

Nothing major, but they're not super common or hard to deal with, a lot of players see them as enemy drop deliveries. 😅

[vital umbra]

hello

[wary kettle]

Thanks for your response. I think I will leave them on for now, just to see how challenging they are

[tacit crystal]

You can change world modifier options at any time so you can disable them later if you wish.

[unreal iris]

guys i died more times to deer than i died to mobs

these ppl bait me into drowning

[last otter]

Wait; how? Lol.

[last otter]

The deer?

LOL.

[unreal iris]

yeah

[last otter]

The deer bait you into drowning.

…

[unreal iris]

yeah

[chrome badge]

[unreal iris]

it was a starred deer man

i wasnt letting it get away

[last otter]

I’m gonna need you to elaborate.

Oh.

[unreal iris]

i cornered it then it went into deep water

i chased it and died

[last otter]

YOU FOLLOWED IT AND DROWNED.

[unreal iris]

yeah

[last otter]

You need a bow.

[smoky saddle]

And my AXE

[last otter]

I feel as if this is a reference.

I don’t get it. 😭

[smoky saddle]

Its fine if you dont get it. Even if it's from one of the greatest trilogies OF ALL TIME

[last otter]

Hmm.

Nope. 😭

The hunger games?

I might’ve just said the most disgraceful thing.

Lol.

Hm.

[smoky saddle]

Fantasy themed

[last otter]

The Hobbit!?

That’s Lord of the Rings, right?

Or Game of Thrones?

I don’t know. Lol.

[candid basalt]

This is hilarious

[weary egret]

Hes rly close

[last otter]

The Kingsman!?

Shoot.

Is that Jack and the Beanstalk movie a trilogy?

The uhh, movie with Jack in the title; and there’s giants.

I’m struggling.

[smoky saddle]

I like that you have sent the right answer and then continued to guess

[last otter]

💀

I knew it was The Kingsman!

Haha!

[smoky saddle]

well done 👏

[last otter]

Thank you, thank you.

First try.

https://tenor.com/view/lego-batman-no-problem-first-try-gif-12803885

Aw.

[near furnace]

yees?

[near furnace]

no embeds allowed

[inland igloo]

nah you just need to punch it

[steel mica]

I fell asleep , anyways do you guys plan to add any minor stuff to things that dont have much use like chitin or bear meat? maybe introducing new crafting recipes or new buildables?
after the final major update

[stable rock]

I need ideas!

I'm currently working on a short animation about Valheim.
I want to make Odin's magical workroom that he controls his ravens and other things. I had the idea of making that room inside the Yggdrasil but looking at Valheim's structures and mythologies, it doesn't quite fit in my eyes. What should i do? does anyone have any idea?

[candid basalt]

Hang upside down by one leg after blinding an eye. Eventually you will gain knowledge

[merry pebble]

Dont forget to stab yourself with a spear as well 😄

[candid basalt]

I mean, you can learn runes from books on Amazon, or even a local library, but Odin had to be special

[smoky saddle]

I would expect Odin's room to have a staircase leading up to it. The room is round and has stained glass windows at the back. In the centre is a table made from a slice of yggdrasil wood with the age rings pulsing with eitr. Shafts of light come through the round window in the middle of the roof. Aside the stairs are yggdrasil wood pillars that become arches at the top.

Near the top of the room are small doors or openings for his ravens to fly through.

[stable rock]

Thanks! Great idea!

[candid basalt]

I would love to be able to build with Yggdrasil wood. Even as beams for decoration.

[smoky saddle]

I agree. Glowing wood would look great with black marble

[candid basalt]

I also want wall torches in the other colors

[potent ruin]

Hi, me and my husband wanted to start and playing Valheim in the weekend, and woundered if someone is onboard and want to join? 😊

[pliant hatch]

Have you tried looking for someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 ?

It's likely you'll find someone there.

[eternal crow]

when can we expect devblog?

[lone rampart]

When it’s done

There’s no set schedule but I know they’re working hard behind the scenes!

[tacit crystal]

Usually it has been published at the end of the month.

But there are always exceptions.

[dusty frost]

Like the old ones where you just put food in amd babies fall out?

[near furnace]

@potent ruin don't @ 150,000 users...

[unreal iris]

i wanna play this game but im getting really mad at how much i have to farm for leather

like this is not enjoyable

its not even a proper grind im just walking around hoping to find some mobs

[tacit crystal]

You can change loot drop multiplier from world modifiers.

[unreal iris]

is this a common issue ppl have

maybe my seed just spawns no mobs

like i wouldnt even mind like farming wood for an hour bc its consistent im getting bored of just searching mobs for so long

[tacit crystal]

Leather scraps is the issue?

[wet wolf]

the start of the game can feel grindy sometimes but it gets less grindy later

[unreal iris]

yeah kind of

[tacit crystal]

Boars are spawned randomly around the meadows areas, but they also have few dedicated point of interests where they spawn once: either ruined villages or runestones that tell you about them.

They are also tamable animals.

[wintry mural]

Does anyone want to play on Xbox?

[tired path]

You can probably skip having to upgrade your leather armor to the max. Deer Hide isn't that useful past the early game, and you'll be drowning in Leather Scraps in the blink of an eye. It's just a "concern" in the first 30' of gameplay

[frozen fable]

They may be trying to craft the bow or the workbench upgrade

[tired path]

The real deal is to find a crashed boat and break it for the finewood

And so you can make a Finewood Bow

[fervent cargo]

is there a progression guide that includes EVERYTHING?

like, using bone fragments to craft something

some guides that I looked at don't include that

[pliant hatch]

I think there's something called the "Valheim Wiki" where things are listed in the order of the biome?

[wet wolf]

i also think theres something called being nice

[wet wolf]

your best bet would probably be youtube

[raven dagger]

Is a Quality 4 Iron Sword a feasible weapon for Abomination-slaying?

[merry pebble]

One of the best you can have in swamp for it in fact 🙂

[raven dagger]

Guh. Getting up close is scary though, XD

[merry pebble]

Paired with iron buckler it makes dealing with them very fast 😄

[candid basalt]

Gjall killed my one-star rogue neighbor. /cry

[raven dagger]

Whew, managed to kill one, next will be a bit easier now that I understand its attacks better

[fervent cargo]

is there a mod that makes cooking stations pull raw ingredients from chests?

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 🙂

[lone rampart]

I think it’s AzuCraftyContainers

[fervent cargo]

doesn't seem to pull

I have that mod

the cooking station doesn't pull it

[subtle ginkgo]

Guys i found rocky, can i get a rock and stone.

[feral grove]

Rock and stone, brother!

[tight dust]

whats up folks, any news on ps5 release?

[fossil delta]

No release date given yet. Just some time this year.

[lusty badger]

test

[abstract warren]

Wait how tf it's on early access

[fossil delta]

Did you not read the Early Access info when you bought it?

[abstract warren]

Guess not

[dense pagoda]

when does deep north come out

[fossil delta]

No one knows.

[abstract warren]

I probably just saw the discount notification on my phone and tap tap ka ching lol

[fossil delta]

I get it. It stays EA until Deep North comes out, then its officially in full release.

[abstract warren]

Nice

[opaque thunder]

Can I recruit players here or the is different channel for that?

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 would be the channel for that 🙂

[opaque thunder]

Tanks!!

[solemn hawk]

im finally heading to the ashlands for the first time

[mortal thicket]

Yag dead

[fallow edge]

anyone know of a BepinEx compatible texture pack thats actually updated? for some reason I cant find any updated texture packis for valheim that actually work

[candid basalt]

Probably a better response in #mods-discussion or #mods-issues

[icy trail]

Are Magmafish hard to find? I am struggling to locate them

[edgy warren]

I sued badgers and willybach idk if there are updated but they work perfectly fine

[raven dagger]

I’m starting to feel pretty confident against Abominations now, didn’t miss a block that time!

Didn’t get every parry, but it was always at least a block.

[nocturne wolf]

When they use their heavy branch attack, it misses if you stand too close to their stump

[raven dagger]

Wait, really? Huh

I fear the drop the most, tho
