[dark coyote]

[raven dagger]

How do you deal with constant Surtlings for that?

Also, some Surtlings spawned inside an invincible tree somehow, and can shoot me from there

[dark coyote]

well thats a bonfire, surtling geyser is better of course

[raven dagger]

Wouldn’t it destroy a Bonfire?

[dark coyote]

if it attacks, you have have to keep it on the other side

[raven dagger]

3 more Abominations and I should have the full set as high quality as I am currently able

[solemn hawk]

is a shield generator just used for bases?

or do i put it on a boat idk

[foggy glacier]

can't build anything on ships.

[raven dagger]

Does a shield generator even do anything in single player?

[foggy glacier]

I think you're confusing the shield generator with the ward.

[raven dagger]

Probably so, yeah

Does the Ward?

[foggy glacier]

even so, properly placed wards can help you locate the source of threats to your base, at least the vicinity.

[raven dagger]

What do you mean?

[pliant hatch]

Yes, it does.

If prevents the player to access an item in the Mistlands.

[foggy glacier]

I think he means player placed wards.

[solemn hawk]

yeah i was thinkin the shield generator might have been different

im still preparing for the journey to the ashlands

[foggy glacier]

a ward won't block damage, but it glows in a sphere when player structures within it's range are hit. If you have a large base, you can see from the glow where damage is coming from.

[raven dagger]

Huh, neat!

[foggy glacier]

it's to protect your base in ashlands, primarily from the fire rain, but it blocks all projectiles.

[solemn hawk]

fire rain?

[foggy glacier]

have you been to Ashlands yet? the fire rain can set wooden items on fire. The shield generator blocks that.

[pliant hatch]

One of the Ashland's elemental effects. You'll see when you get there.

[solemn hawk]

no i havent this is news to me

ok so is it just better to make a stone base in the ashlands?

[foggy glacier]

How do you know about the shield generator then?

[solemn hawk]

its craftable?

i check everything i can craft with new items

[foggy glacier]

only once you have ashlands materials.

[solemn hawk]

no?

[raven dagger]

Why not build your Ashlands base from stone?

[foggy glacier]

oh no, it's mistlands tier crafting.

[solemn hawk]

yeah its mistlands tier

[pliant hatch]

You can craft it the moment you have defeated the Queen

[foggy glacier]

Yeah. @solemn hawk you'll see what it's for when you get there.

[foggy glacier]

That's good, but even putting down a workbench and portal can reduce them to charcoal without the shield.

then you don't even have the finewood to make another 🙂

[pliant hatch]

Not if you pick the right location to enter the Ashlands and set up your first base.

[foggy glacier]

yeah. I usually aim my boat for the ruined structures.

[pliant hatch]

So do I. And when there's "neutrals" near or in it, even better.

[raven dagger]

…Inside the stone structure?

[foggy glacier]

no, but you need to put down a bench in order to build with stone.

[raven dagger]

Ah

[pliant hatch]

Well, the problem is that not everything got a roof anymore.

I dunno if you've read the last message Hugin gave you after defeating the Queen?

[raven dagger]

The tortured screams of Surtlings spawning in the water…

[solemn hawk]

me and my friend have never gone south this trip is going to take a WHILE

[pliant hatch]

"Best" solution is to get as close to the Ashlands as possible using a Karve or Longboat, then set up a small base with at least a workbench and a portal and craft the last boat there.

It will save you at least half the time sailing.

[edgy warren]

does your armor reduce posion damage?

[solemn hawk]

oh is the drakkar not faster?

almost all the boat upgrades have been faster so i assumed the drakkar would also be

[pliant hatch]

It's almost as fast as a longboat. But it's also a lot more sluggish.

[lone rampart]

Turns like a bathtub.

[raven dagger]

Root Mask does, otherwise I believe not?

[pliant hatch]

I dunno. I've never sailed a bathtub.

[lone rampart]

Then you've never lived!

[pliant hatch]

Yeah well, I'm not Dirk Pitt. 😄

[edgy warren]

yea thats what i thought. getting some iron with plains gear and it just feels like the blobs posion is doing nothing but can remeber it hurtingn alot whenn i first entered

[solemn hawk]

the ocean is so scary

[rotund parrot]

Well better food gives you more health and more health regen per ticks so not only will the poison take out a smaller percentage of your health, you will heal more of it while it ticks down

[solemn hawk]

i didnt realize how EMPTY and vast the ocean is in valheim

[rotund parrot]

If you are sailing to the ashlands make sure you stop before entering, leave a portal on an island close by, get rested and enter during the day

[solemn hawk]

oh whys that

is it like dangerous right from the get go?

[rotund parrot]

Some would argue it is quite dangerous, yes

[steel mica]

Day or night its still dangerous

[solemn hawk]

like HOW dangerous

i already made my portal back im just curious

[candid basalt]

It's ... active

[steel mica]

Dangerous both at day and night

Thats all you need to know

Because enemies there are quite persistant

[solemn hawk]

the waters red?

[steel mica]

yes

[edgy warren]

are there any skills i can level up while boatinng home?

[tacit crystal]

Armor rate also reduces the damage taken from poison (and others like fire).

[raven dagger]

Oh? Neat!

[solemn hawk]

ok it wasnt so bad until we encountered a morgen

also it became night and a 2* like basic enemy appeared

ashwood doesnt burn in the ashlands right

like i can build a base with that or no

[tacit crystal]

It does. But for preventing your buildings from burning there is shield generator.

[solemn hawk]

im guessing grausten doesnt burn since its stone

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO AGAINST A MORGEN

I WENT BACK IN THE PORTAL AND THERE WERE 80 ENEMIES WAITING FOR ME

WHATS THE STRATEGY 😭

[steel mica]

It doesnt burn but the fire rain still damages them

[modern copper]

to hold caps lock more 😉

[steel mica]

especially if its a fire spark

[solemn hawk]

i think me and my friend both died and our portal broke

my friend hasnt died yet ubt it might be over

to get our stuff back alone already is a herculean task

the morgen made things 10x harder than it should have been

[modern copper]

learn from the mistakes 😉

[solemn hawk]

the mistake was getting unlucky with a random morgen spawn

[modern copper]

im not there yet... we are in mislands

[ocean kettle]

Whats this slowmode thing

[modern copper]

to keep people from spamming messages too fast in discord. several servers do it.

[steel mica]

If you need help ask some folks in #valheim-help

[solemn hawk]

he survived and built the portal

we are done for the day

we couldnt find any flammetal

[steel mica]

Your goal in ashlands is to raid the "dungeons" in there

[mortal thicket]

Same

DAY 67

[soft plume]

my dedicated server lags bad with 10 people what do

[broken kraken]

Are you all building close to each other?

[soft plume]

we just got one big base

issue is mainly with the boats kinda being janky when we all ride in it

[rotund dust]

Yo.. Newver used Fins of Destiny, they are OP and the best accessory

[glass edge]

Wish they were a cloak or something not tied to adrenaline, i have that uncanny knack to always need moder on cd because the wind hates me

[rotund dust]

They take 10

You can proc them off anything

[lunar sapphire]

Scraping your toe on a stone underwater as you first get in to swim across a river?

[rotund dust]

They called "Fins" tho, so imma pretend you cant scrape your toe, as your foot is covered XD

[lunar sapphire]

Heck. Too logical

going back to the drawing board

[rotund dust]

Eikthyr with Fins gave me 2 mins to swim any direction I wanted... No stam loss, so good

But then fins ran out, I was ballsdeep in middle of ocean, and yeah.... we all know how that ends 😄

[burnt glen]

wat's your favorite weapon?

[glass edge]

2ndary with fists, nothing quite like punting midgets (fulings) or a pesky mosquito outta the sky. If the deep north doesn't have another fist weapon and dagger I'll cry

[burnt glen]

That's an ATTACK not a weapon!! 🤓

I like Skoll & Hati the most.

[open bolt]

Just killed myself with the Trollstav 😅😅😅 I summoned the troll right in front of myself so the damage from the troll falling on top of me just killed me

[lunar sapphire]

Classic

Fins trinket got triggered atleast

[open bolt]

I never summon it so close to me. I decided to try it, and just died. Beginners mistake xD

[raven dagger]

They should add a World Modifier for Leveling Speed

[open bolt]

Meanwhile i just tried Dundr. I genuinely thought it would be a Staff xD
I guess it isn't. This is cool actually.

[open bolt]

"What happens next may shock you." xD they got me... well played.

[rain flare]

Have you learned about the treebalest?

It’s when you fire a fallen tree at mobs using dundr 🤣

[open bolt]

gotta try that 😎🌳

[tacit crystal]

Yes. #memes-and-clips message

[raven dagger]

What does the ♻️ mean in the Suggestions channel?

[tacit crystal]

That it has been suggested before in some form.

[raven dagger]

Ah! Okay, that’s an understandable tally to keep

[steel mica]

Taking notes

I think gungr or dungr whatever you call the shotgun staff is my most unused magic staff

The staff of fracturing I've used a fair bit

[tacit crystal]

Dundr has better single target damage when all shards hit, but it performs bit poorly against groups, although knockback can keep enemies away.

Same with Staff of Fracturing: better single target damage than Ember Staff but poorer AoE control and damage against groups.

[mighty flame]

When is this game coming to Ps5?

[open bolt]

I am currently using every single staff in the game 😅 a fourth of my inventory are staves...

[tacit crystal]

In due time, during this year.

[open bolt]

they are all good for specific situations, so I keep them all. I know i could do the same with like, 3 or 4. but i wanna try them all for now. they are all fun.

[mighty flame]

Alr

[open bolt]

i think i haven't used the staff of fracturing that much tho.

But it's cool. and it looks like fireworks if i shoot it into the sky

[tacit crystal]

When I play mage I like the combination of Staff of Wild and Frost Staff: first summon roots then shoot enemies with frost to slow them so they don't get away from the roots.

[tacit crystal]

That staff has great single target burst damage when all clusters hit the same target. You can ramp the fire tick damage very high with it.

[open bolt]

I usually use Frost for enemies that kinda get in our face. and for bigger tanky enemies.
Embers for squishy/ranged ones. Troll and Wild for Charred Fortresses. Protection all the time. And skeletons when I need to buy time or get some protection while I do something. Then Dundr and Fracturing i used them because they are cool.

[open bolt]

I'll try to experiment more with it 🤔 The ashlands staves are still kinda new to me

[tacit crystal]

Ofc fire damage isn't the best in Ashlands since all mobs are at least resistant against fire, but still can deal some damage, I could imagine fire damage being better in Deep North.

[open bolt]

I know that using all of them isn't very efficient, in terms of inventory, but I kinda want to try them all for now.

[tacit crystal]

But Ember staff carries long since it also deals blunt damage.

[tacit crystal]

Nothing wrong testing out and figuring what you like the most.

[open bolt]

Btw, is it worth it to upgrade the staff of Protection above level two?

I feel like two mins barrier is good enough so far. and upgrading doesn't give me a stronger barrier anyway, since that depends on the skill.

i might take it to level 3, but dunno about level 4. in battle it usually breaks from attacks anyway.

the eitr for upgrades gets a bit expensive

[stuck pasture]

haii :3

This game rocks its so evil

really cant help but endlessly admire its graphics despite playing on performance (tho it seems to not differ from balanced whatsoever)

[open bolt]

Btw, Staff of Embers + wood in the Ashlands = easy coal 😎👌🔥

[tacit crystal]

4 minute duration is quite nice, for general exploring also so you don't need to constantly cast the bubble.

Staves that are not necessary to upgrade are Staff of the Wild and Trollstav.

[open bolt]

Thanks! ^^

[steel mica]

Using it now after a while it kinda has a shotgun shape

[rain flare]

LoL 😂

[sinful fulcrum]

are the parry windows enough for parrying with a buckler and switching to the Dundr?

I have seen people parry with the staff and bubble so they dont get staggered

[tacit crystal]

I would rely on parrying while having bubble. Switching from buckler to Dundr is clunky and it also requires reloading.

[fervent cargo]

soooo, how to bring crates or something on a boat?

[sinful fulcrum]

reloading? a magic shotgun damn

I have seen someone one shot the morgens with dundr parry combo

[tacit crystal]

If you equip something else and re-equip Dundr again it loads it again.

Think it like how crossbows work.

[steel mica]

You really gotta commit to either reloading or switching weapons entirely

Dundr eats up alot of eitr

[paper marsh]

bonus points if it's on fire

[candid basalt]

I have never seen so many gjalls as I do on our current random seed. During one fire resist potion duration, I killed 4

I have roof ballistas specifically armed with black metal bolts for them too because they spawn so often

[vagrant frost]

Does anybody know when valheim 1.0 is gonna be released?

[lone rampart]

Technically the devs have an idea, so yes “anybody” does. But that information has not been released to the public yet.

[near furnace]

I know but almost no one else 🤔

_one might say. it's my job to know these things 😎 _

[wet wolf]

pretty please

[near furnace]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202263390056357928/1445806052485628097/neckwhen.gif

[stuck pasture]

i tried this at home, he dropped his tail :(

[steel mica]

The entire valheim community

[rotund parrot]

They strike me as perfectionists and if you know, you know. You may think you are pretty much done but not be entirely satisfied with some things and decide to change them delaying everything. Even they might not know

[torn bolt]

when deep north

[paper marsh]

Everytime the neck hits the button, DN gets delayed a day

[nocturne wolf]

why would the neck do that

[paper marsh]

It knows that neck tails are a key ingredient in all Deep North food recipes 😬

[merry pebble]

Every time the neck hits the button (someone asks that question) we take a drink 😄
I am sure we will be just fiiiine

[solemn hawk]

what magic weapon should i be using for early ashlands

cuz like the fire staff doesnt seem to optimal seeing how almost everything is resistant to fire

[merry pebble]

It is quite good still since it deals also substantial blunt dmg on top of the fire dmg 🙂

[paper marsh]

both fire and ice staff are very good

Shield staff is busted no matter where you are

[solemn hawk]

i just gotta get a good side weapon to use while recovering eitr

[rotund parrot]

Perhaps one that also double as a tool

[glass edge]

Demolisher, give yourself a little breathing room, and it's still kind of like a staff... with a big block on the end

[solemn hawk]

yeah i was initially thinking of using the arbalest since i could still try to keep range but like nothing in the ashlands stops in their endless pursuit of my demise

yeah ill use the demolisher or somethin

prolly a shield too aswell

or is the demolisher 2 handed

[glass edge]

2 handed

[solemn hawk]

kk

[timber marsh]

bruh why are mobs still spawning inside my base even with the TINIEST little gap between workbenches

it looks so rediculous now with workbenches and fires everywhere

my spawn was on a peninsula so i cut it off

[steady junco]

Just a little rant:
I chopped down 7 oak trees so far and no seed in sight

[foggy glacier]

That is definitely odd.

[terse ember]

When is ps5 gonna drop im on pc but wanna play with some other friends

[wet wolf]

this year

[dreamy kiln]

damn, just started a new valheim alpha 0.79 world... get dropped next to swamp and black forest... greydwarf and draugr after me after 30s 😄

no sugar coating back then

😄

i dropped 3 screenies under #screenshots

[tacit crystal]

That inventory tho.

[nocturne wolf]

what could this mean
#screenshots message
Test
Armor : 75% / max 5 dmg

[tacit crystal]

Looks like max damage it can block and how much % of the damage you block before it hurts you.
Oh, saw the "Test" part you mentioned.

[dreamy kiln]

good question... wasnt enough vs a bronze axe draugr 😄 no matter what i meant

[nocturne wolf]

also the axe chop damage is shown there but still hidden in modern versions

[terse ember]

Yea I know but what month

[tacit crystal]

That hasn't been stated yet.

[dreamy kiln]

nope it hasn't 🙂

good thing is tho, only 11 months left this year 😄

[dreamy kiln]

can solve that, Test is the characters name 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

I've looked into it more, it blocks a percentage of damage or the max damage shown, whatever is smaller

I'm not sure why it would've been replaced. maybe the devs wanted one number so its easier to understand?

[dreamy kiln]

nice finding 🙂

[candid sierra]

Hey what is this new Game Server thing from Discord?

Does it work for a game like Valheim?

[split adder]

what type of weapon should i use

[oblique zinc]

any type, depends. bow should be a must

[wet wolf]

maces are pretty good

[tacit crystal]

What have you tested so far?

[split adder]

this is a brand new character

so nothing really

[dark coyote]

mace/buckler all day

though rushing flint spear is strong

[tacit crystal]

Having 3 physical damage types (blunt, slash, pierce) covered is good idea.

All weapons have their own perks and limitations.

[rotund parrot]

My razor has no limitations

[peak tendon]

i need some builders to help me design a portal building

im in moders lair

[silver quarry]

is there any known time frame for the ps5 release date?

[peak tendon]

i dont think so

[light moat]

Supposed to be sometime this year as far as we know. I know that’s kind of a wide range, but that’s what we got!

[frozen fable]

Day 96 in game and i found the Queen's Lair, but i won't be able to open it and beat her since I don't have the Sealbreaker yet, boo

i was trying to do it before Day 100

[thorn citrus]

before day 100 ?!

[frozen fable]

yeah almost made it

[thorn citrus]

we're almost day 500 and we haven't even tried to beat her x)

we do NOT have the same playstyle x)

[frozen fable]

everyone does things at different paces, nothing wrong with that, my goal is always to at least have Yagluth down before Day 100

[rotund parrot]

My fastest was my playthrough after they introduced the bog witch, I wanted to do a quick one to test the new skills, food and potions. It was fast because I just built a mining outpost in the forest, geared up, made a carve, sailed to swamp to build a mining outpost and gear up. Left it with a longship full of iron on my way to main base in the plain. I killed Yagluth before day 50 and fader on day 74. It's impressive the time you save if you just build once and also the time it save if you build far on the map

[thorn citrus]

nevermind it's day 404 here

[merry pebble]

Day not found

[dense pagoda]

)=

[timber marsh]

found a sealed tower!

[lone rampart]

Beat Fader today! Ready for Deep North!

On almost day 1400 so yeah, definitely not a speedrun.

[frozen fable]

That is exactly what I did, I built one base for most of the game then built a second one but didn't build a stone base yet. I am going to take the time to do so since I might as well

[fossil delta]

I'm a fan of a much slower pace.

[raven dagger]

Slow is good.

…if I ever do beat the current final boss, it’s not gonna be fast, XD

[peak tendon]

trying to fish in the ocean is terrible

your boat always moves away from where the fish are

[median ibex]

I realise I've been woefully neglecting making a new, larger house.
I've made it to the Plains in my current run, but I'm still living in my starter house, despite having a large storage hall, buildings dedicated to mead kegs, etc.

[solemn hawk]

is the staff of fracturing better or worse than the staff of embers

[fossil delta]

It doesn't have to be a single large "house". I use a draugr village as my base this play through.

[tacit crystal]

It has different purpose. Where Ember staff shines in AoE and damage against groups Fracturing staff shines in high ramping single target damage with all clusters hitting the same target.
Fracturing staff is also super cheap.

[frozen fable]

There is a neat trick where you can jump out of the boat while it is moving and it will immediately stop

[fossil delta]

Yeah, its not easy to bring any of the boats to a complete stop. So jumping off then getting back on is the simplest way to do it.

[livid juniper]

anyone wanna lend me some backup on taking on moder i just needa find 2 eggs and the moder location

[solemn hawk]

i cannot find any flammetal bro

[pseudo osprey]

Any news or updates for PS5 version yet

[solemn hawk]

do basalt bombs go away after a whiule or jno

[paper marsh]

In Ashlands I’d personally say embers is better, but I imagine fracturing is gonna be very nice in Deep North

[vernal goblet]

What’s the timeline for the Deep North release

[tacit crystal]

Currently no estimated timeline.

[placid delta]

When they are finished with it.

[vernal goblet]

Thanks for the info. I’m so excited for it!!

[timber marsh]

9 players on screen and my rtx5080 is 5.1 fps 😭

[timber marsh]

just like real fishing!

[peak tendon]

ever hear of an anchor?

[glossy heath]

they wouldn't serve their purpose in this game since boats already constantly brake their speed while no player is on board
-# couldn't say no to that mechanic being replaced with an anchor though, i do like anchors

...actually no, staying put while out on the water is their main purpose, what am i saying

so sure, anchors~ ⚓

[split adder]

does anyone know why my screen is shaking in a meadows biome

[solemn hawk]

prolly a bug

[jaunty vessel]

Hi

A friend of mine found something funny while playing, can I share a GIF of it

[split adder]

WHY IS THERE A BEAR

when did that exist

[lone rampart]

Since the CtA update. Welcome back! Now there's bears.

[split adder]

if i run for it will i make it

[lone rampart]

Maybe

[split adder]

i think its gone

so why did they add bears

[fossil delta]

To add new sets of light armor and to make the biomes tougher to get through? Thats my best guess.

[bold matrix]

anyone down to vc bored

[fossil delta]

They certainly didn't add them to meaningfully increase our food options. At least, not yet.

[split adder]

what are my chances against the bear with a bow

[fossil delta]

Poor. They are pierce resistant.

[split adder]

dang

[fossil delta]

Best to use a slash weapon, plus shield.

[split adder]

i dont think im ready to kill a bear just yet

[fossil delta]

FYI, they have more HP than trolls too.

Fortunately, you have to get pretty close to them to aggro them, plus they are rather easy to out run.

[split adder]

good to know

[timber marsh]

when i go fishing offshore i only have 100m of rhode and we are over 200m deep

[peak tendon]

Get more rope..

[timber marsh]

were gonna need a bigger boat

[solemn hawk]

do i NEED a battering ram in order to enter the fortresses?

or can i just like jump in from above

[rotund parrot]

Just jump off the ship

I feel like it's a trick that is not widely known, if you want to instantly and completely stop/anchor your boat. Whether it is to go pick up serpent meat, to stop at a dock or to stop to fish, just jump off the ship and it will stop

[light moat]

Nah, you can just build a simple ladder. Ram is cooler and might be fun to use, but it’s certainly more complex.

[grizzled fox]

Anyone have a public server I can fiddle around and build in ?

[steel mica]

To be fair the game is loading 9 seperate different instances in 1 server

[timber marsh]

we even have a dedicated server, that was barely under load but all of our pc were dying during yagluth fight

[tame forge]

Im going to scream, I got raided by ghosts and now all my boars are dead

[median ibex]

I love Surtling Raids.
Easy parries.
Easy kills.
Easy coal.
Easy Surtling Cores.
I love free resource progression.

[grizzled fox]

Hi, I'm shy and don't want to be a pest in voice. Is there a shared server in that you all are playing I can come build in?

[lament root]

Hi I just joined the discord, are there any fresh servers atm?

[steel mica]

The "Fire Hazard" modifier would like to have a word with you

[median ibex]

I just don't play with Fire Hazard

[steel mica]

Its free 50 coal lol

I've began to appreciate some of the modifiers

[lament root]

@grizzled fox I can start a fresh server that you can join

[grizzled fox]

Oh ty, I was interested in putting simple cabins in a server with others

I like valheim socially but I get anxiety in voice

[lament root]

You dont have to get in voice

Im starting one just a sec

What's the difference between a server and community server

@grizzled fox join code is 371673 passwords Swords

[grizzled fox]

I'm on

brb

[steel mica]

Only thing I hate about fire hazard is the burnt ground it leaves

[timber marsh]

WE JUST GOT TO MISTLANDS WHAT IS A SEEKER SOLDIER

[livid juniper]

why are moutain biomes so small and hard to come across

[timber marsh]

im sure you have a big mountain somewhere

i had 2 massive ones

[steel mica]

Just bad generation lol

[steel mica]

You'll encounter something much more worst later on

[timber marsh]

could cheat and check your seed map

[steel mica]

Also your first time getting to mistlands? @timber marsh

[timber marsh]

ya

met a dverger... and then a seeker soldier

[steel mica]

Dont attack the dvergr

[timber marsh]

they helped

[steel mica]

Yes

[steel mica]

Hows the mist lol

[timber marsh]

were gonna need a lot of bread...

[steel mica]

Its recommended to have some of the people in your group to use eikthyr ability when exploring the mistlands

helps out alot

[timber marsh]

ive been using eikthyr since the beginning lol

[frozen plover]

Anyone wanna play valheim

[timber marsh]

do i go in the dverger home?

[dark coyote]

did he come from the land down under?

[azure crag]

Any good news about north update? ✋️😔

[feral grove]

It'll be out when it's ready? Do you consider that good news?

[floral vale]

https://tenor.com/view/my-sweet-summer-child-sweet-summer-child-game-of-thrones-gif-19977020

[tulip glen]

Will the deep north update mess the predicted world generation of previous seeds?

[floral vale]

The deep north is already on every map, its just Barren, so as long as you don't venture to the Deep north Biome before the update, it will be generated fine when the update is out

[limber axle]

Any date on the PS5 release yet?

[tacit crystal]

No exact date, but this year surely.

[night axle]

Anyone else find leviathans uncanny?

[near furnace]

Depends on what you mean with mess up

[open bolt]

I have found one in the sea near the border of the map. Almost "falling off". Lonely leviathan... 🐢

[night axle]

There is something scary to me that we mine on the back on a giant beast that doesnt even notice us until we tickle it

And the groan it makes, spooky

[open bolt]

I guess they can be a little uncanny... when you put it that way.

[night axle]

Maybe just thalassophobia

Who say that the islands on valheim arent just even bigger leviathans

[lunar sapphire]

Fear of Subnautica

(Not in my case though. Barely played it)

[open bolt]

the valheim map is a Leviathan 👍🐢

[night axle]

Are you a leviathan!?

[steady junco]

Just found a crypt that has three dead ends and thats it

[open bolt]

RNG at its best

[tulip glen]

Will a world generated after the update with a specific seed, look different than one generated with that seed before the update? Other than the deep north itself, obviously

[near furnace]

yes

if you would re-use the same seed before DN and after DN. it will generate diffrently

[tulip glen]

Hey guys, is there any advice for digging a Canal? I'm about to start that and was wondering if there is something I should be aware of, before I waste lots of hours^^

[merry pebble]

You can only modify the ground by 8 up and 8m down, so if you have a hill in a way you dont really have to try

[valid fulcrum]

Ok, what about the water? Should I keep the ends that are conected to the water close till I'm finished?

Like, does it flood itself then?

[merry pebble]

No need, the water is basically a plane that is present throughout the whole world 🙂

[valid fulcrum]

Ok, so I'll have to dig in the water eventually

[merry pebble]

Yep 🙂

[valid fulcrum]

aight thanks

I hope this'll be work^^

[near furnace]

Sorry to anyone who had to see that. those 2 where people who constantly where harassing staff over a few months and now both got cought red handed saying bad things....

[fervent cargo]

does anyone play with increased resource drop or any other settings to reduce grind?

[tacit crystal]

In co-op world I like 1,5x loot multiplier.

Otherwise normal rate is enough for me solo.

[fervent cargo]

that's a bit counterintuitive

[hybrid fog]

Hi from Ukraine

[fervent cargo]

i thought solo you gather resources at lower rate

[tacit crystal]

How? Bit more loot when more players are playing reduces the grind for crafting more equipment vs what it would be with 1x multiplier.

[nocturne wolf]

You need to craft less equipment though

[valid fulcrum]

I play coop with 6 people and we have 1.5x because it's hard to get everyone to play at the same time, so we reduce the grind time during that time

[median ibex]

RAAAAAAAA
I just fought off a Fuling Raid with nothing but my Black Metal Battle Axe and spite.

[ionic elk]

Yeah after mistlands I said yolo and just threw the multiplier up to max..my obliterator gets quite a bit of use now

[fervent cargo]

im thinking to up the multipliers to max in the bronze age

as im reaching it for the second time and lose interest of playing the game

[ionic elk]

Yeah, for me the late game became quite exhausting with all the Viking chores I had to keep up with, so that just saved me quite a bit of time

[valid fulcrum]

So what is the "new" Biome? The last time I played it stopped at Plains.

[median ibex]

There's 2 biomes past Plains now; Mistlands and Ashlands

[valid fulcrum]

Are those the Biomes at the top and bottom of the map?

[median ibex]

Mistlands can be found past the "goldilocks" zone on the map; the biome is a certain distance away from spawn and can't be any closer.

Ashlands is alllllll the way south.

The next big update to come is the Deep North, which is in game now but pretty barren, in which the update will spruce up the biome.

Deep North is allllllll the way north.

[valid fulcrum]

||ok, what order are they in? If I remember correctly, it was like. Meadows -> Black Forest -> Swamp -> Mountain -> Plains||

[nocturne wolf]

that's correct, and mistlands is between plains and ashlands now

[median ibex]

||Meadows > Black Forest > Swamp > Mountain > Plains > Mistlands > Ashlands||

[valid fulcrum]

Ok, are they difficult? ^^

[median ibex]

Very.

[valid fulcrum]

More than Plains?

[median ibex]

Yes.

[nocturne wolf]

each biome is more difficult than the last at that point

[valid fulcrum]

😳

Yh, I'm about to fight 2nd Boss, and got reminded to not f.. with the mosquitos xd

[median ibex]

Mistlands has some extremely cool and extremely strong gear that I won't spoil the nature of for you.
So definitely have fun with all of it when you get there.

[viscid jewel]

Mosquitoes is where I truly learn to block.

[valid fulcrum]

yh, I played some years ago and finished the plains biome, since then there were some many updates

[viscid jewel]

Or die.

[median ibex]

Simply just Poke™ with Battle Axe

Hit 'em with the boop of despair

[valid fulcrum]

Just snipe them with arrows 😉

[viscid jewel]

It only works if you yell boop very loudly

Arrows works too.

Just don't miss!

I did find them trivial once I got the rhythm of blocking down.

Granted I haven't played since the combat update.

[tacit crystal]

Ah yeah, extremely strong gear like the new ||battleaxe||.

[median ibex]

[valid fulcrum]

combat update?

[tacit crystal]

Call to Arms update last September.

[median ibex]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/529856925490219058

[valid fulcrum]

Like new movement/attacks or just weapons?

[nocturne wolf]

it added new weapons and a new equipment type called trinkets

and some new armor

[valid fulcrum]

If the new biome gets released, will old save files still work?

[median ibex]

||New fist weapons (Black Forest tier and Plains tier)
New battle axes (Plains tier and Mistlands tier)
New Black Forest tier armour
New Plains tier armour
Trinkets, which give you combat buffs after building adrenaline (gained when using Forsaken Power, attacking enemies, staggering enemies, blocking, dodging, parrying, etc.)
Easier to hit enemies on slopes (finally)
New enemies (Bear and Vile (Undead Bear))
etc. etc.||

There's a lot to just type it all out, so definitely read the patch notes I linked

[viscid jewel]

If it's like previous releases yeah it will wokr.

They just won't show up on an old map.

[glossy heath]

eh? the biome? it'll show up just fine, unless you've generated every single deep north chunk before the update, then none of it will update correctly

[median ibex]

I'm avoiding the Deep North like the plague on my long term world

[valid fulcrum]

Ok, so if I just don't explore too much now it's fine 😄

[glossy heath]

yepp~

[median ibex]

You can explore everywhere but the Deep North tbh

[viscid jewel]

True. Usually by the time a new biome came out my old crew and I Usually explored things thoroughly.

[sick bear]

some guy named Valder suddenly joined our dedicated server and the files went crazy, password was easy af but it's pretty sussy 👁️👁️

[near furnace]

ban / kick them then?

[modern copper]

is there any difference in intensity of rested? i know u can get it longer...

[glossy heath]

nope, rested is always just rested, the duration is all that varies

[near furnace]

it will always be the same. just diffrent duration

[modern copper]

tyvm

[ivory patio]

how long till this gameis actually considered a full game? Hate to start a game thats still waaaaay in developement and by the time i finish it they changed 100 things about it

?

[near furnace]

hes trolling

[ivory patio]

bad troll i guess cause i dont understand it

[near furnace]

he is saying we aren't updating the game anymore

but we are activly working on it

[viscid jewel]

Kinda the opposite of abandonware. It's never ending updates lol.

[ivory patio]

oh i see ure actually a dev for the game :D

[ivory patio]

so u would say your game is still in the early phases? cause im more of a player that would gladly buy a Product when its deemed finished by its creators

[near furnace]

game is early access yes

but we are working on the last content update atm

you can read in #news

[viscid jewel]

Zeroing in on a 1.0 yeah. Pretty excited for it.

That being said I've put like 500 hours into it and it was time well spent.

I'm officially waiting for 1.0 now tho. Looking forward to the Ultimate World where we plan to play in it for a year+

[near furnace]

buy it now, and then wait for 1.0 I would advise

we might raise the price on the game at 1.0

[ivory patio]

cause of the price increas on full release?

[near furnace]

maybe

[ivory patio]

i see, thx for the feedback :P

your have a wonderful day, and thx for developing great games

[near furnace]

you're welcome 🙂

[meager fossil]

Hey folks!

[viscid jewel]

Hello!

[meager fossil]

been thinking of playing again but Im also hesitant as I dont want to start now if full release is in like a month or two!

Can we say confidently that full release PROBABLY isnt this spring or early summer? 😄

[tulip glen]

It was supposed to come girat half of the year so... Probably not

[viscid jewel]

I mean if it was in a month or two they'd surely have announced it.

[near furnace]

suppose ?

not sure where you got that information from

we have never ever said any release dates 🤔

[meager fossil]

Its about time you did! WHEN ETA?!

Smiffeeeee!

[near furnace]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202263390056357928/1445806052485628097/neckwhen.gif

[meager fossil]

😂

This time, I will try and beat queen

I rage quit last time when I reached queen

[gray sand]

Queen is easy now that half of combat doesn't cost stamina anymore for unknowable reasons...

[meager fossil]

Good

I HATED her. I hate add heavy boss fights in general. I want the boss to be the highlight not a bunch of adds. Just a personal preference

[gray sand]

Bosses being easy is "good"?

[meager fossil]

The queen yes

[gray sand]

Hardest of disagrees.

[modern copper]

What wont a eitr refinery destroy? other than marble. the good copper.

[gray sand]

No.

[gray sand]

Black Marble.

[proven marsh]

Bro got obliterated into pieces

[near furnace]

anyone who continously lie about release dates will be muted and then banned

we do not accept trolling

[modern copper]

right but like all crafting stations?

[meager fossil]

No hard feelings. I just have a thing for add boss fights. I find them incredibly frustrating by design

[gray sand]

That is kind of the point of add boss fights.

[solemn hawk]

is it a good idea to use a completed fortress as an ashlands base

[meager fossil]

Of course, I just dont like them

[solemn hawk]

or do enemies still just spawn there

[meager fossil]

Again, just a personal preference

[gray sand]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[solemn hawk]

im js makin sure no enemies respawn there

[meager fossil]

@gray sand Did ALL bosses become a lot easier?

[gray sand]

Her adds are boring, I will give you that.
Elder honestly could have been a good adds boss because of how many types of Greydwarf there are.

[gray sand]

Yeah...

[meager fossil]

Elder would be fine with adds, he isnt super fast and his attacks are straight forward. Queen with adds seems cheap

[nocturne wolf]

rootlings, root brutes and root shamans

[meager fossil]

Or maybe I just suck

😄

[gray sand]

Weapon choice has a lot to do with it.

[solemn hawk]

by adds do you mean like summoned enemies i aint know this phrase

[meager fossil]

I was VERY well prepared last I did it. I got overwhelmed all the same. Im a pretty decent gamer overall too

[gray sand]

Having the variety and needing to nuke shamans before they heal.

[modern copper]

adds=additional mobs

[gray sand]

Define well prepared?

[solemn hawk]

ok ty i js didnt know

[modern copper]

back to my question, i asked it weird i think/ in 2 parts. are there any craftign stations a eitr refinery wont destroy?

[meager fossil]

I cant give you specifics. Its a while back and I just deleted my old character to start over 🙂 But I had best in slot armour, and best in slot melee weapon based on feedback from discord and potions and best in slot food. I even looked up strategies, and got some bombs or something too for the adds

[solemn hawk]

i dont think so, i started just crafting my refineries somewhat far away from base and just having a portal past a hill

[gray sand]

Only 1 weapon?

You didn't have boss weapon and adds weapon that specialized in aoe to make adds easier?

[meager fossil]

I honestly dont remember

[gray sand]

😭

[modern copper]

i crafted all marble/dvergr copper. but i wanna know if i need to separate it from like the black forge and stuff. i have stonecutter and workshop in there atm

[gray sand]

Also I have doubts about Discord feedback sometimes because wayyyyy too many people here think Tasty Mead is bad.

[viscid jewel]

Tasty mead is situationally amazing.

But it's not an 'all the time' treat fo rme lol.

[gray sand]

If situationally = all situations, I agree.

[viscid jewel]

I respect the Tasty Mead commitment you have.

[meager fossil]

well I acknowledge that I probably prepared wrong somehow or went about the fight in the wrong way. I would probably have been able to beat her had I just given it a few more tries and adjusted some things. But my pet peeve with add heavy boss fights just made me pissed off and I stopped caring for trying lol

But this time Im going into it with a different mind set

[gray sand]

That's fair.
The other option is just magic because it is OP AF and never getting nerfed.

[solemn hawk]

frfr i love magic

[meager fossil]

Magic in valheim feels VERY good. Im glad its strong because you are quite squishy when using robes. So its a glass cannon thing

would suck if it wasnt strong and you were also made of wet paper

[solemn hawk]

blood orb negates the lack of health

[meager fossil]

Oh? Im not familiar with that

[solemn hawk]

its just a free shield with 200+hp depending on what level ur blood magic is

staff of protection mb

i call it blood orb just cuz its blood magic

[meager fossil]

Have they addressed their design philosophy with that skill?

[gray sand]

Single enemy? Staff of Fireball.
Multiple enemies? Staff of Fireball.
Woodcutting? Staff of Fireball.
Ever thought about using a sword like a real viking? Staff of Fireball.

Yeah... magic is totally balanced...

[solemn hawk]

i like staff of fracturing for single enemies

[meager fossil]

Ehh. I mean... vikings believed in seidr magic

[gray sand]

Yes but the point is once you hit magic you either use it or choose to be less powerful.

[meager fossil]

Hm I havent used it that much to the point where I felt it wasnt balanced. But it sounds like blood magic might be the issue?

[gray sand]

I genuinely used Fireball until Wilds.
No other staves.

Nothing ever came close to touching me in the Ashlands.

[glossy heath]

-# for a moment i forgot there's a "staff of the wild" and was very confused

[gray sand]

😂💛

[rotund parrot]

Less powerful? There's very few things you can take out faster with mage than you can with melee

[gray sand]

-# I have a back scratcher for my girl that I have dubbed "Staff of Cats".

[rotund parrot]

Take a seeker soldier, with melee i'll take it out using half my stamina bar in about 10 seconds whist having ate only health food. A mage with 3 eitr food will take out about 40 seconds to kill it and have to wait for eitr to refill twice

[tacit crystal]

Iron cage pieces also.

[meager fossil]

oh hey Joel

Nice seeing you here still

[modern copper]

do i need to totally isolate it from everything?

[glossy heath]

it shoots in all directions randomly so pretty much yea

[tacit crystal]

I haven't gone anywhere.

[modern copper]

ok so itll kill black forge n stuff too?

[glossy heath]

make sure that the walls aren't too close to the back and front of it, i've had setups where the particles spawn inside of the objects that were meant to block them and thus simply go right through

[modern copper]

ima let my buddy finish the structure i think. i have walls/ceiling/floor

[tacit crystal]

4m high iron cage hut is enough in my experience.

[meager fossil]

I usually place it in a hole and put a ceiling above it

Then Ill save materials from walls and only have to do ceilings

Then add stairs down into the hole

[bright zinc]

can some one at end game let me join their world and get all the crafting/building recipes, just trying to be in creative mode.

[ionic elk]

Unless you parry it first

[median ibex]

Meanwhile me, a Battle Axe user, with Tasty Mead running through my veins.

[rotund parrot]

Fair but if you do it probably break your bubble

[viscid jewel]

I admit to never picking up a Battle Axe.

I should try it out.

[glossy heath]

nocost temporarily unlocks all recipes anyway. if you don't have the recipes, that means nocost isn't enabled so you wouldn't be able to build them without the materials anyway

[median ibex]

You should change that.
I love stunlocking everything short of a boss.

[viscid jewel]

I became a blunt weapon man. A thing I've never done in any other game but it just kind of happened and then I never wavered from it lol.

Big Hammer. Why stunlock when you explode everyone.

But I also haven't played past the Mist so am a weak flabby Viking barely worthy of the name.

[median ibex]

Stunlocking, when acknowledging the fact that you deal additional damage vs staggered enemies, means you explode-inate everyone even HARDER

[tacit crystal]

Do I see another opportunity to show off a bit? #memes-and-clips message

[bright zinc]

ive tried and nocost doesnt work for me

debug does work and im able to fly around

[glossy heath]

pressing B while debugmode is enabled toggles nocost, so pressing it twice turns it off again

[bright zinc]

goated, appreciate you.

[viscid jewel]

Okay thati s incredibly impressive actually lol.

How you jumping so beeg?

[median ibex]

The sheer stagger strength of Battle Axes combined with the fact that it doesn't deal reduced damage on entity cleave makes it feel so, so good.

[rotund parrot]

Why spoil everything you can unlock playing the game and rob yourself of the reward of the sense of progression after grabbing new materials and defeating new enemies?

[viscid jewel]

Some folks just wanna do creative and build stuff.

[tacit crystal]

Sprint and jump momentum. Ratatosk tonic also helps.

[median ibex]

Also, Padded Armour w/ Red Linen Cape and Black Metal Battle Axe is pretty drippy...

[viscid jewel]

I tend to go pretty heavy on the shield tactics when I'm not hammering. It's wild to watch someone play it like it's a Devil May Cry game lol.

[median ibex]

Battle Axes aren't bad at all when it comes to blocking/parrying tbh

[tacit crystal]

It's also older clip before Call to Arms when it had -20% ms penalty (now -15%), plus parrying and dodging are easier now due to stamina cost changes.

[viscid jewel]

Wild. Never messed too much with parrying if I didn't have a shield.

[median ibex]

Yeah, 0 cost parries has been huge for Battle Axes.

The fact that one update gave us so much stamina economy (through innate changes and Trinket synergy) has made Battle Axes feel much better.

[viscid jewel]

In a good way? Or a "TOO OP!" way?

[median ibex]

Good way.

[viscid jewel]

Cool.

[nocturne wolf]

Too op, parrying could at least pause stamina regen

[tacit crystal]

Atgeirs too OP still.

[median ibex]

Nerf Atgeir.
Give it a 15% movement speed penalty.
smile

[solemn hawk]

ok i love the trollstav

[rotund parrot]

Biggest thing for me is the ability to still parry even if the stamina is really low

[solemn hawk]

my game almost crashed when i hit the stone pillar in the plains though

that was lowkey scary

[tacit crystal]

IMO all 2h weapons (atgeir, battleaxe, 2h sword, sledge) could have -10%.

[nocturne wolf]

then we'll be 10% slower when fishing

[median ibex]

I mean, I agree, I was mostly posting a "hee hee spiteful @ Atgeir" post.

[glossy heath]

my atgeir-shaped heart TvT

[tacit crystal]

Is fishing rod considered as weapon?

[nocturne wolf]

its held with two hands and can damage things

is that not a two-handed weapon?

[glossy heath]

depending on the definition, even the tankard is considered a weapon

[nocturne wolf]

ALL 2h weapons includes bows, magic, crossbows, pickaxes too

[glossy heath]

need them to unfix breaking animations by holding primary and secondary attack at the same time with weapons that don't have a secondary attack, doing that with a tankard used to let you repeatedly drink without consuming mead and without slowing you down, despite keeping your legs in place

[median ibex]

Alright chat.
Packing my shit up from the Meadows and moving to another biome.
Where do I plant my primary base now?

[nocturne wolf]

in another meadows so you still have necks

[glossy heath]

mountain, i am not biased
-# do not pick mountain, drakes are annoying

[lone rampart]

Depends on your progress and what you want to accomplish with the new base

[nocturne wolf]

moving metals in is impossible too, why does this game hate mountain bases

[glossy heath]

furthest from water on average, and super steep terrain on the way there, bad for carts

[lone rampart]

Mountains are among the prettiest places to build. Plains will allow you to plant more crops. Swamps is…
And Black Forest is lovely but the locals are a little much

[tacit crystal]

I meant those I mentioned in cases.

[glossy heath]

swamps are underrated for base purposes

[median ibex]

I'm up to Plains and ready to fight Yagluth.
I'd like an area where I can honestly just create something of a perimeter wall and then build a large longhouse, perhaps a storage barn, and then a small farm.

[glossy heath]

for that, plains seem great

[median ibex]

... I probably just go to Plains then, yeah.

[lone rampart]

Find a spot where the skeeters don’t spawn and go nuts

[median ibex]

Not needing to go between portals for the sake of Barley to Flour 'n' Flax to Linen Threads will be nice.

[glossy heath]

-# there are no spots where the skeeters don't spawn

[nocturne wolf]

you can't find a spot, you have to make it yourself

[median ibex]

Tbf I play with Portal Items on since I've only so much mental energy and would rather spend it progressing in any other way.

[lone rampart]

I’ve had several spots where i suddenly get paranoid because where the heck are all the deathsquitos?? But there’s nothing.

[glossy heath]

RNG can give ya droughts like that

[trim cloak]

hi there!

[median ibex]

I can certainly create enough lamp posts to create something of a dead zone at least.

[glossy heath]

spawnproofing of course works as usual~

[median ibex]

But luckily skeeters don't bother me much.
I give them the boop of doom 'n' despair with my Battle Axe and they turn into dust.

[glossy heath]

just saying there are no inherently safe areas

[lone rampart]

Turns out a perimeter of spinning blades is really good at dealing with them though

[glossy heath]

if i remember correctly, deathsquitos are also unique (weird) in that they ignore structures that enemies otherwise attack on sight.

[median ibex]

I think setting up in Plains might be what'll start making me use spikes.
Probably set some up outside my wall.

[nocturne wolf]

just checked in-game, this is correct

[glossy heath]

i can't remember who told me about that but i was so hesitant to believe an understated exception in AI behaviour like that would be coded in that i immediately had to test it

[odd flare]

if im making a base for mistlands, is it a bad idea to do it actually inside of the mistlands? i found a large group of islands where the perimiter is 90% of said biome, but therse a small plains island pretty much in the middle of them and idk if i should build there or in the mistlands

[timber marsh]

I found a plains village at the border of the mistlands and took over the stone tower for my base

[solemn hawk]

i finally found vineberry and its seeds

time to become an even better mage

[median ibex]

Build in the Mistlands so you can actually farm Mistlands crops.

[odd flare]

thank you. didnt even know there was mistland crops yet lol

[solemn hawk]

im too afraid to make a mistlands base because of the gjall raids

[median ibex]

Ballistas with Gjall Trophies should help a lot.

Also, whenever a raid happens, I usually just... move away from my base.
Enemies can't spawn around specific items anyway, so you can sorta control their spawns that way.

[odd flare]

can i turn the mist off? LOL i cant see a darn thing

[solemn hawk]

i dontthink you can

[lone rampart]

No but ||you can burn it away with wisplights||

[odd flare]

im not going to click that, but at leat i know theres a way

[glossy heath]

the mist is pretty static btw, so if you find an area without mist puddles, that spot will stay clear of the thick particles, vice versa

they're not a weather effect but a part of the environment, emitted by invisible spawners

[odd flare]

well i found a nice sea level flat spot, and a broken down black tower pretty close to eachother

but its right on the shore so its misty

dvergr health bars are green, are they friendly?

[nocturne wolf]

They're friendly until you attack them or their structures

[odd flare]

ahh thats what that bird just told me

[solemn hawk]

wait the embla set is so sick

ashlands tier magic is genuinely so powerful

plus the dundr is the coolest magic weapon ever

[odd flare]

ive decided to take one of thier structures

[rotund parrot]

Or yours within their ward, learned that one the hard way

They will absolutely not tolerate you punching your own boat whilst at their dock

[solemn hawk]

they respect ur craft

[odd flare]

this is the first biome i dont really like...

[solemn hawk]

it introduces magic so its my favorite biome

[odd flare]

i just despise the visual restrictions

[abstract lily]

Anyone know the release date for ps5? Been wanting to play this game for so long

[near furnace]

we haven't told one yet besides 2026

[abstract lily]

Ahhh okays. Yeah only heard 2026 so was seeing if anyone knew anything else I’m so hyped haha

[near furnace]

that's all that has been said. 2026

[abstract lily]

Okays no worries

[glossy heath]

you do have a wisplight equipped right?
just asking because some players may miss that, i am aware that vision is still pretty restricted with one

[odd flare]

no i dont

just landed on a beach with a black tower and some friendlies

im going to take thier tower but im scouting for the best way to do so

[glossy heath]

ah well, progression order intends for that to be made before entering mistlands, it doesn't cost anything from mistlands

[odd flare]

from the things i got from yagu?

[rotund parrot]

from what you can craft with it

[timber marsh]

Hmm, does it work fine if it's a very edge?

[glossy heath]

should be fine as long as your minimap says "mistlands" when you stand on the spot, afaik
-# actually now i wanna check whether the minimap indicator tracks original biome borders or the simplified ones that you actually see in the world itself

[rotund parrot]

As long as the terrain has the mistland's terrain color and the land can be cultivated, it will grow

[timber marsh]

Sweet because I got a nice spot, it's pretty flat right at the edge of the plains

Did a sealed tower, yagluth, and then ventured into the mistlands and found a dvergerhome all in the same session. The game was getting bland then suddenly a lot happened at once

[rotund parrot]

Usually does when entering new biomes

[odd flare]

ogh snap its not even a torch, it just floats around you?! does it stay active or need repairs?

[rotund parrot]

Always active and does not need repairs

[timber marsh]

Gravity is the most dangerous part of this game

[timber marsh]

Yeah it's really pretty and useful unlike navi...

[rotund parrot]

You can only take 100 damage from a single fall FYI

[timber marsh]

Doesn't help when you get slapped off a cliff by a stone golem...

[glossy heath]

-# i mean given enough max HP, it does

-# not disagreeing though, gravity is responsible for a considerable amount of my own deaths

[solemn hawk]

im so glad theres a cape that just ||removes fall damage||

[lone rampart]

Well I mean, you'd better get cracking! 2026 is almost over!

[timber marsh]

I was at level 99 run... died to a small army of goblins...

[timber marsh]

Where

[solemn hawk]

you make it in the mistlands

20 refined etir 10 feathers 5 scale hide

really cheap for how good it is

[timber marsh]

Noted

I like going in blind and discovering not just digging through the wiki

[solemn hawk]

same

my first playthrough i did zero wiki lookin at

i only look at a wiki now to refresh my brain on things

[rotund parrot]

Hanging around here will pretty much inevitably get you more of these spoilers

[near furnace]

you say that 18 days into the year 🤔

[solemn hawk]

only 300 days ish left its so close to being over

[timber marsh]

I just got an ad for "cloud gaming"

Bruh and get even MORE lag with 9 friends no thank you

[candid basalt]

Can’t be 18 days. January has been at least five weeks so far…. Right?

[timber marsh]

Yagluth with 9 people was insanity

The lag spikes...

[rotund parrot]

Surprised he even finished his waking up animation with 9 people

[timber marsh]

To be fair only like 3 of us actually had the correct gear. All the rest were at like swamp gear

[glossy heath]

something tells me that is at least partially the fault of custom models made with higher poly counts than the game is used to haha

[timber marsh]

Yeah like the Gundam model...

But it was not the fps, it was the synchronization of players all very far away from each other

[glossy heath]

due to how mp works, if the chunk master has bad enough performance in things like fps, it can make things laggy for everyone else nearby

[timber marsh]

The server is dedicated and was not overloaded

[glossy heath]

yepp that's entirely on the client

[timber marsh]

I guess there's good reason for 10 maximum number of players

[glossy heath]

the server doesn't do any simulations itself, it's just handling communication between clients afaik.
whoever first enters a chunk has all of that chunk's business being done on their client and then communicated to the rest

[torpid gazelle]

Hey, does anyone know when the 8th boss will be?

[arctic garnet]

Wondering the mists at night with the music off and hearing a gjall in the sightless distance is still one of most unsettling experiences this game has to offer.

[sleek burrow]

could be this summer

[feral grove]

Could also not be this summer. Will be whenever the devs say it is, which they have yet to do.

[tacit crystal]

Yep, especially when ||they can spawn with stars during night||.

[barren whale]

we know for sure it won't be on or before jan 18

[arctic garnet]

shit i don't think I've seen a starred gjall before

[barren whale]

oh they exist

[arctic garnet]

That would certainly be an experience. Are their tick spawn starred as well?

[barren whale]

nah
generally anything spawned by a starred enemy isn't gonna be starred
someone should test with a starred warlock's persistent flame attacks

also wonder about starred trolls' groundslam

[arctic garnet]

Sniping mosquitos with a crossbow is a fun viking pastime.

[tacit crystal]

They drop just normal ticks.

[coral kindle]

Please, drop the game on Ps5 🥲

[tacit crystal]

I once died to 2 star one.

[tacit crystal]

They do during this year.

[arctic garnet]

mood. they kill shockingly fast once they latch onto you

[livid juniper]

anyone wanna help me kill moder i just needa bring one egg and he spawns i got 250 fire arrows and im ready to go dm me

[nocturne wolf]

why not obsidian arrows?

[coral adder]

guys when will the winter biome be released?

[livid juniper]

on the wiki im p sure it says hes weak to fire

also hes an ice dude so i figured fire

[glossy heath]

she is but that doesn't make up for how weak fire arrows are

[nocturne wolf]

she's weak to fire but fire arrows are too far behind in progression

[livid juniper]

wow ive been using fire arrows for a while

welp i just made some ob arrows

[fossil delta]

She spends so much time flying that you can alternate. Besides, its cool to watch her fly while burning.

[livid juniper]

now i got 400 arrows

is that too much..

[nocturne wolf]

Don't alternate, just use obsidian

[fossil delta]

Probably. It takes less than 200 arrows.

[nocturne wolf]

or a few needle arrows if you pass through plains on the way in

[fossil delta]

BORING! Like I said, its cool to watch her burn.

[nocturne wolf]

there's nothing cool about killing things slowly

[fossil delta]

Says you.

[glossy heath]

frostner over here killing things slowly by cooling them:

[livid juniper]

is moder an easy boss to kill solo?

[nocturne wolf]

everything in Valheim is balanced for a single player

[fossil delta]

It depends on what else shows up while your fighting her.

[glossy heath]

imo she's the most inconsistent one.
sometimes she's easy, other times she's an absolutele pushover. but i've only played on default settings so far

[livid juniper]

i disagree with this

[glossy heath]

that is the design philosophy though.
things are easier in a group no doubt, but the game is intentionally designed around singleplayer first

[fossil delta]

It gets easier once you know what to do versus each boss.

[livid juniper]

ah i guess it is my first playthru

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I have over 5200 hours. So each boss is pretty easy as long as I don't make mistakes.

[nocturne wolf]

isn't any boss easy if someone makes no mistakes?

[fossil delta]

I would hope so.

[rotund parrot]

There's space to make mistakes on any difficulty

[glossy heath]

quite a few on normal

[fossil delta]

Depends on which attack you make the mistake against. Some just kill you.

[dark coyote]

is it easy to make no mistakes?

[glossy heath]

no but that's the point

if you got that part down, it's easy, but what remains isn't the hard part

[dark coyote]

no, thats my point

[fossil delta]

Once you know what your doing, it takes some effort to screw up. 😄

[rotund parrot]

maybe if wildly unprepared, no resistance whilst eating very bad food

[warm void]

Going to hell guys. Wish me luck

[fossil delta]

I hope you mean Ashlands.

Good luck!

[warm void]

That i do friend. That i do.

[dark coyote]

I doubt I'll finish ashlands, not enjoyable, inb4 "skill issue"

[fossil delta]

I do seriously dislike Ashlands. Its just an ugly biome.

[glossy heath]

i was not having a great time there solo back in testing, but i've not checked it out since

[fossil delta]

Its still a slug fest pretty much all the time. Just not as bad as it was during ptb.

I ran into something I do not recall ever running into before. I found a Draugr village with two buildings that have the throne area. Neither one had the chair, unfortunately. But I do not recall ever seeing two of those buildings in the same village before.

[split adder]

whats the fastest way to mine copper before bronze gear

is it just a pickaxe

[merry pebble]

Employing our big blue friends 🙂

[fossil delta]

Yeah, we don't have dynamite.

[merry pebble]

However that will not get you all the copper there is

[fossil delta]

Not fast, and never can do an entire node with them.

[merry pebble]

It is much faster than using antler pickaxe, but the downside is indeed you cant get the whole node without uncovering it first 🙂

[abstract warren]

Gaming mouse or regular?

[fossil delta]

Trolls are an excellent way to get copper and tin before getting picks, though.

[split adder]

embrace gamerism

[abstract warren]

Damn it I meant to reply my own message and edited it instead

[fossil delta]

a 3 mouse button is fine. Those buttons are for people who do more complex games with complex combat.

[abstract warren]

Fml

[abstract warren]

Thought so

[fervent zinc]

need valhiem on playstation 🙏

[abstract warren]

Thanks

[merry pebble]

I have 2 side buttons on my mounse but use mostly one of them for push to talk in games 🙂

[merry pebble]

Will be this year 🙂

[fervent zinc]

i know but that could be so long 😔

[fossil delta]

Lets just hope that company keeps on schedule for this year, and it does not roll over to next year.

I forget their name.

[terse pagoda]

but when!? december is still this year QQ, i want to play with my PS friend

[merry pebble]

We dont know sadly

[terse pagoda]

i know 🙁

[odd flare]

not being able to wear the belt and use the wisplight is pretty hindering

[paper marsh]

Hmm, neither really seems necessary to me

[meager fossil]

Oh hey Asatru. Still the puncher of drakes I see

[paper marsh]

Almost everything in mistlands can be portalled, and if I remember right the tissue isn't toooo heavy?

Wisplight just feels like it does very little to me. I usually do a big part of mistlands before making it

[meager fossil]

I love the wisplight myself

playing in mistlands without it makes me hate living

[paper marsh]

To me it just feels like a very small radius

And there's not much ranged threats in the mistlands so I feel like I don't need to be able to see far anyways. Maybe that's just me though

Wisplight is always better to have than not have, but often times I don't feel like killing yag immediately and just head straight to mistlands

[meager fossil]

Yeah for me its very much a matter of comfort and quality of life over absolute necessity

[candid basalt]

I killed 14 Gjall yesterday. Several in the space of one fire resist potion. I love my wisplight, but thankfully, im in an area that has a lot of non-mist mistland

[odd flare]

I was wondering about this. Do I even need a pickaxe here? I do like the wisp light though, but I can probably do without the belt if I cut what I'm carrying

Also wondering if I should switch to padded but it feels so slow and clunky compared to fenris

[fossil delta]

14 in one game day? Or one day of playing? Because 14 in a game day is impressive.

[candid basalt]

Four hours of playing

Sleeping at night

[odd flare]

I haven't had 1 clear spot yet in my explorations. I did find 3 infested mines and 2 dverger camps

[fossil delta]

Only if you want to get black marble from some very limited locales. I get most of mine from structures, so all I need is a work bench and my hammer.

[candid basalt]

I named it iron valley because of the swords and armor lying around

[odd flare]

I figured with it dropping fro dverger, and the towers it would be sufficient. I'm actually going to build out this tower on the shore at some point

[fossil delta]

Of course, if you get stuck inside of a skull, your going to wish you had a BM pick.

[candid basalt]

#screenshots message

This is a shot a friend took when visiting

[odd flare]

Yeah that looks nice

[candid basalt]

I need to so much more marble. Making a large house there

[fossil delta]

Deconstructing towers and bridges will get you a lot, aside from skulls and ribs. Bridges also give you tons of iron bars.

[timber marsh]

whats the best method

[candid basalt]

Yep, I have 3 bodies and skulls to dismantle nearby still, I got a lot from infested mines and their towers, plus two other towers and a part of a bridge

[timber marsh]

just took out our first gjall

[candid basalt]

I use carapace arrows and aim for their underside, im sure there are better ways. I use my Demolisher to pound the ground for ticks. I pop a fire resist as soon as I hear the dubstep

[fossil delta]

If there is a better way to deal with them, aside from magic staves, I'd love to hear it.

[candid basalt]

I find them annoying as long as they dont have seeker friends below. Then its a tense battle I sometimes lose

I've never used the arbelest, not sure if thats better than a bow

[fossil delta]

When I hear them I seek out the nearest root. They usually provide great cover while allowing me to shoot back pretty easily.

[candid basalt]

Oh yeah, its all about geting behind something and popping out for shots

Lingering stamina meads are my drink of choice 😛

[fossil delta]

When I am in the Mistlands I pretty much live on lingering stamina, and the meads for running and jumping.

[solemn hawk]

what does upgrading the trollstav do

[fossil delta]

Probably best to read its wiki entry for those details.

[solemn hawk]

hey man i did and all it shows is increased durability, i was asking to make sure that was it

sometimes it doesnt include the summons on the wiki

[paper marsh]

Pretty sure it just ups durability, sadly

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure the summons scale from your skill level.

[split adder]

how much copper is enough

[fossil delta]

Depends. Unless you want the lighting fixtures, two nodes should be enough for necessities.

For solo play.

[paper marsh]

Depends how much gear you want. I hate mining copper and make as little gear as possible. Armor made from black forest metal in particular feels useless to me

But you can also always come back later if you end up needing more

[candid basalt]

I use copper instead of iron for wall support in mistlands

Still use a lot of iron, but copper is so easy to get

[fossil delta]

I have wondered how well those would work in walls, compared to iron.

[candid basalt]

If its a wide wall, they work great

[fossil delta]

How are they for helping build tall structures?

[candid basalt]

havent tested max height tho. Iron may still be better

[fossil delta]

Yeah, that is what I was curious about.

[candid basalt]

wiki says same height as iron

[fossil delta]

Hopefully I will remember that if I ever build a super tall structure again.

[frozen fable]

You will want some copper down the line for a few things, just keep a stack or 2 of smelted copper bars for light and a few things in Mistlands

The light fixtures are really great because they last so long before needing resin refills

[fossil delta]

Keep in mind going back to get copper later goes faster with better picks and higher skill, plus the creatures become just a nuisance rather than a threat.

[candid basalt]

That reminds me I need a ton of tin to make bronze for my dvergr lanterns

ugh

[fossil delta]

So if you do 2 to 3 nodes initially, you can come back later once your in iron gear, for example.

[fossil delta]

I break all the braziers in the mtn caves. You get a lot of bronze bars from them.

Plus you might get iron from the doors.

[candid basalt]

I figure I'll just walk the coast in my robes and level my skeles while I pull a cart

[fossil delta]

Carts can be easier along the coast line, but eventually the ground gets too rough to pull carts along.

[candid basalt]

Carry a portal and when cart full, go get a pocket boat to sail it back

Hoe hoe hoe, pulling a cart I go

[fossil delta]

Until you hit the coastal rock formations. Then you need a pick as well.

[candid basalt]

Need the pick for the tin anyway 😛

[fossil delta]

Yep. Just saying, it can turn into a lot of time and work.

[candid basalt]

Valheim turn into a lot of time and work? no way 🙂

[fossil delta]

I used to spend a lot of time making proper roads and nice trails, in addition to building a lot. I hardly do any of that any more.

[candid basalt]

It depends on my mood.. also have ADHD, so a lot of unfinished projects

[fossil delta]

At about the 3000 hour mark, I became much more concerned with just doing the bare minimum. 😄

[candid basalt]

The more I play, the more I just escape into the process.. but im only at 1192 hours

It's like No Man's Sky, I got hard for a while, then go play something else and come back to go hard again

[fossil delta]

I'm currently closing in on 5300 hours. I refurbished a BF tower for the first time in a long time. Even added to its fortifications. I enjoyed doing it, so may start doing more of that again.

[candid basalt]

I love rebuilding and sprucing up abandoned ruins

[fossil delta]

Me too. I really enjoy restoring the draugr villages.

[candid basalt]

I did a save where I limited myself to only being able to build where a structure was. Made it interesting

Had to wipe out a fuling village to make a plains base

[fossil delta]

My wife and I even found a draugr village on the water front in our current play through. Turned it into our main base. Just found a second one yesterday that I am seriously tempted to make into another base. It even has two of the throne buildings, plus 6 other buildings.

A skeleton arena is also close by.

[steel mica]

Close enough to trigger the spawn or just a little bit too far?

Would be a nice auto farm

[fossil delta]

Too far.

[steel mica]

Though not much use for bones lol

[fossil delta]

Yeah, even in Ashlands,. You find tons of bones in that biome, so no real need for more.

[steel mica]

You get so used to the mistlands that you dont use the wisplights anymore

Only using it for assistance

[fossil delta]

That would probably be true for me if I had good vision in the first place.

[steel mica]

Ever since my second playthrough I've barely used the wisplight

[rotund parrot]

I spent a very big amount of time in the mistlands without a wisp but it was because I didn't have access to it

doing it by choice is wild

[fossil delta]

I go in early, and only during the day period. Aside from that I always use the wisps.

[candid basalt]

Mist torches for paths too. I would hate it being completely without a wisp

[rotund parrot]

the trick if you really have to is just to zoom in all the way on your character

[abstract warren]

Should I make an iron mace before facing Bonemass?

[fossil delta]

I would spend a lot more time in the Mistlands if I could see more. I really love it when I find open areas free of mists.

[abstract warren]

My clubs skill is only 16

Axes is 33

[steel mica]

I would honestly save the iron but your choice is if you want maximum dmg

[abstract warren]

Polearms 52 but that's pierce

[fossil delta]

I always use a mace versus Bonemass. Not sure what all he resists. I know pierce is one.

[abstract warren]

I was wondering if a max upgraded iron battleaxe could do the job well?

[abstract warren]

Yeah I think he's neutral for slash

[steel mica]

No bonemass is resistance to the two other physical dmg type except blunt

[abstract warren]

Oh

[fossil delta]

Clubs is my favorite skill, so I probably over use those weapons. 😄

Swords are pretty nice too. I just don't use them until I hit the plains.

[abstract warren]

Atgeir's my favourite

[fossil delta]

I have the hardest time with Atgeirs. They just feel so... odd, to me.

[steel mica]

I've been less reliant on atgeirs

[abstract warren]

They have the best reach

And their power attack is awesome

Sweep all enemies in huge radius

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I know.

I've used every weapon in the game. Now I just use what I like most.

[steel mica]

Interesting how the dvergrs have stronger magic weapons

[mortal thicket]

Whats your guys opinions on kroms and arblist

[fossil delta]

The power of being there for cinematic purposes.

[steel mica]

d o p e

[fossil delta]

I hate the Arbalest for being so slow, but aside from that, its pretty killer. Literally.

[mortal thicket]

I just realised ive only handed in the deer boss and bonemass lol

[fossil delta]

I'm not a fan of the two handed swords, so no opinion there.

[fossil delta]

I pretty much only use Eikthyrs power, so I could go the entire game without sacrificing the rest of them.

[mortal thicket]

I went axes

[steel mica]

Whyyyyy D:, I hate you now... ||im kidding||

To be fair they are slow so I get you on that

[fossil delta]

I do like the 2 handed axes. They are fun, but more for cutting down multiple trees at once, and destroying fuling villages.

[mortal thicket]

first time not going magic in mistlands and not

[fossil delta]

I'm not a fan of the magic, so I have only gone melee ever since I tried out magic.

[mortal thicket]

Whats better Spinesnap or Dragur fang

[fossil delta]

For over all damage, Spinesnap is better. I just hate the stamina cost.

[mortal thicket]

does it use more?

[fossil delta]

Stamina? Yeah, a lot more.

[solemn hawk]

how do i put a grausten roof on top of my ashwood house

or is there no way

[steel mica]

They are heavy...

[solemn hawk]

why is there no ashwood roof bro 😭

[nocturne wolf]

add some grausten pillars?

[steel mica]

That wooden house aint gonna hold a giant stone roof

[solar plaza]

Iron. Weather it's by beams or grates

Or flametal

[steel mica]

Tar roofs are good enough

adding too many buildables that are too similar just floods the building menu

[solemn hawk]

not imo id like a roof that matches the pristine quality of ashwood

i worked hard ash for this ashwood im gonna use a new roof

[solar plaza]

If you don't want the metal showing up, you could frame your walls too, like having grausten or metal inside of two Ashwood walls (walls be thiccer, but it works

[grave parcel]

bear trophy is too rare

like i get 1 or less every 30 bears

[solar plaza]

I'm having that problem with necks. Despite butchering dozens of em I ain't got one yet

Rng just plays favorites sometimes 🤷‍♂️

[nocturne wolf]

why do you even want a neck trophy

[solar plaza]

The collection

[steel mica]

I was gonna say I can sesne blobicycake from a mile away
