I've mercilessly killed everything from the charred to the dverger to get (their respective trophies) them, but i have still yet to get a stupid neck trophy to hang on the wall.

Also just curious, does every entity have a trophy? If so I gotta add ghosts to the list.

[nocturne wolf]

not everything, but ghosts do

[solar plaza]

what doesn't have a trophy then?

[mortal thicket]

wraith?

[arctic garnet]

Wraith has trophy

Bat has no trophy I think?

[nocturne wolf]

charred twitchers don't

[arctic garnet]

And chicken.

[solar plaza]

I kinda figured those don't, chickens make sense as to why not

[nocturne wolf]

greylings

[arctic garnet]

Oh yeah those too

[odd flare]

whats the best weapon to use moving into mistlands. these bug soldiers seem to be strong against everything

[light moat]

Frostner is a personal favorite of mine. The freezing effect is really useful for keeping control of the combat situation.

Don’t if it’s the ‘best’ but it’s a good choice.

[nocturne wolf]

Seeker soldiers have a weak point on their abdomen

[fossil delta]

Swords work well.

[steel mica]

Greyling, Bats, Charred twitcher, and Chickens

[arctic garnet]

Frostner would probably be great for maneuvering around to it.
I had good results with the atgeir's reach entering mists.

[steel mica]

I might have missed one or two idk

[fossil delta]

I don't know if they are the best either. My wife uses Frostner or Porcupine and she seems to do fine as well.

[mortal thicket]

I couldnt use frostner I found haldor in mistlands

[steel mica]

Parry and jump special attack to their abdomen, you should do about half-ish of their hp

Krom does half if not more

like 600dmg with special attack

[mortal thicket]

is jotun blade a good weapon

[steel mica]

Not really

[fossil delta]

I just use the BM sword. I do fine. My wife seems to do fine with Frostner or Porcupine.

[mortal thicket]

is black metal axe better?

[steel mica]

But a slight improvement in terms of chopping trees

[nocturne wolf]

1h axes are terrible, poison is terrible and jotun bane is both on the same weapon

[mortal thicket]

Ohh so I mucked up using axes since medows

meadows*

[nocturne wolf]

the flint axe is good because swords aren't available at that point

but every other biome either has a sword or battleaxe for slash damage

[steel mica]

Better because you dont waste precious resource

[mortal thicket]

I learnt the hard way lol

[fossil delta]

Keep in mind most people care about maximum DPS. An axe works well enough, but is not optimal compared to swords.

[odd flare]

found a mistless spot in mistlands

[nocturne wolf]

1h axe secondary is 1.5x damage sword secondary is 3x

[odd flare]

this terrain is so bad though lol

[steel mica]

mmmm 800 dmg

slayer sword

[fossil delta]

So? I rarely use secondary's because the opponents rarely stand still long enough to get hit by them.

[steel mica]

actually no iirc its 1000 dmg on a seeker soldier's abdomen

[mortal thicket]

ill test

[nocturne wolf]

use it as they approach you, not while they stand still

[steel mica]

Important about combat is movement and stamina management

[livid juniper]

MODER IS DEAD

[fossil delta]

Again, they often approach at an angle, so not an optimal attack all that often. They simply move out of the way before they get hit.

[rotund parrot]

I've done 1000 with 1h sword on soldiers so definitely the 2h one does at least 1k

[livid juniper]

HOORAH

[steel mica]

nidhogg?

[rotund parrot]

yes

[steel mica]

Ah ok

My slayer 2h is maxed

[mortal thicket]

what would win a gjhail or 50 drakes

[steel mica]

50 drakes

[rotund parrot]

I'd guess the max amount of damage can be done with skll and Hati

[steel mica]

I sense a terraria enjoyer 👀

[steel mica]

I would not mind having dual handing swords

[rotund parrot]

I'd start with removing gaps in weapon types, like endgame not having knifes or polearms

[steel mica]

Weird how ashlands doesnt have any buckler

[gray sand]

Doesn't need one given how insanely OP the Carapace one is.

[steel mica]

Dont get me wrong the Ashland round shields looks very nice but I'd like a more practical shield especially with how hard hitting even the normal enemies are

[steel mica]

[livid juniper]

my friend told me you could so i crafted two swords and i couldnt

[steel mica]

the 10 stamina regain is nuts

and ability to block most if not all enemies with the exception with some of the starred enemies like lord reto and maybe even morgen and asksvin

[gray sand]

Carapace Buckler is better than both Flametal shields, so we don't need a Flametal one until they do a pass on shield numbers and make them make sense.

[rotund parrot]

I sometimes forget those exist since I would never replace the buckler

Also never crafted it

[steel mica]

I like 2h swords but for practically I go full shield and sword in ashlands for more survivability

Probably the only biome that makes me go off my main weapon type

[gray sand]

2H Swords are good now that they have fixed them.

Just need them to fix 1H Swords now.

[solemn hawk]

just finished my ashwood house i love ashwood building

[rotund parrot]

What do you mean fixed? Does my knife still have more AOE than any type of swords?

[gray sand]

Fixed as in their bugged mtp status.

[glossy heath]

when mistlands first released, one-handed swords inexplicably lost multi-target penalty and two-handed swords were introduced as the first two-handed weapon with multi-target penalty, clearly there was a switch-up

afaik recently, two-handed swords have finally had their MTP removed, but one-handed swords haven't gotten it back yet, so they're the only one-handed weapon to lack it now

imo unnecessary, they were viable enough with it

[gray sand]

Combat update fixed the 2H, yes.

So just need 1H fix 😭

[mortal thicket]

My games crashing sad

[near furnace]

windows 11 and nvidia GPU?

[mortal thicket]

windows 10

Im spawning to much stuff

[fossil delta]

Oh, yeah, you take matters into your own hands when using dev commands like that.

[mortal thicket]

Yeah

I added an extra zero lol

[steel mica]

I wouldn't be surprised if they didnt bring it back considering how strong shields are particularly bucklers, they are both commonly used together

[gray sand]

They need to undo it because it makes swords objectively superior.

[glossy heath]

what's that have to do with swords having multi-target penalty

but my hopes for it being fixed are low too

[gray sand]

Hope 😭

[fossil delta]

Swords have a multi target penalty? Been hard to tell since they all die at about the same time.

[glossy heath]

they used to, until mistlands

[gray sand]

Had*

[fossil delta]

Oh, had. OK, that makes more sense.

[gray sand]

Sword v Axe used to be an actual discussion.
Mistlands erased it and just made swords objectively better. So I hope they un-break it.

[glossy heath]

and for the reason above, i'm still pretty certain their multi-target penalty was not removed intentionally, it's inconsistent with all other 1h weapons.

[near furnace]

it was

I said it was unfair

[glossy heath]

oh mistlands erased that twice over by adding a swordified higher tier frostner and making the new axe awful

[fossil delta]

Well, in Mistlands and Ashlands I usually only fight one creature at a time, so there is that. At least for me.

[paper marsh]

I think Ashlands and combat update made it a discussion again. 2h axes are pretty different beasts from 1h ones

[gray sand]

2h discussion is completely separate.

[paper marsh]

but yeah the advantage of no multi hit penalty is a bit much

[glossy heath]

that is cool and 2h axes have always deserved respect but i don't think the way to fix a weapon type is to make a sister weapon type that uses the same skill better 😅

[near furnace]

the "issue" with multihitting with 2h weapons is you lose out damage because you hit rocks, trees, walls, doors etc

[paper marsh]

So you mean just 1h axes when talking about axes?

[gray sand]

Yes.

[glossy heath]

i would assume so, because same

[gray sand]

2h sword vs. 2h axe is more cannon vs. balance.

Sword hits harder iirc but BA has higher blocking power.

[paper marsh]

I mostly use 2h axes so I guess that's not obvious to me

1h axes do kinda suck tho. I only really use the bronze one because I don't wanna make another bronze weapon

[fossil delta]

Yeah, but I usually try to be in open areas when I fight using those, so that draw back rarely impedes me. Not that I use them all that much in the first place.

[gray sand]

1h axes do kinda suck tho
Fix the mtp on 1h sword and they go back to being a discussion.

[glossy heath]

-# kind of.

[near furnace]

didn't we?

[paper marsh]

Kind of? I feel like 1h axes have a fair bit going for them

I'd say swords are superior for combat, axes slightly worse in combat but make up for it by saving resources and inventory slots

[glossy heath]

there is still the issue that the damage increase from tier to tier seems to be additional, not multiplicative, so the damage difference between axe and sword becomes smaller with each biome, and the fact that axes have less reach, and the fact that the mistlands 1h axe vs 1h sword comparison is just a joke

[gray sand]

No. Combat update removed the mtp from the 2h sword.
It did not add it back to the 1h.

[near furnace]

can never make everyone happe

[glossy heath]

that's no excuse to leave things unfixed

[gray sand]

If you want it to be a good discussion they would need to spend some weeks changing animation times. But that is not happening at this juncture.

[glossy heath]

i mean, axes being slower than swords is the intended difference between the two, so i'd suggest balancing the rest of their numbers around that

[gray sand]

I see your point, but I would not classify this particular topic in the vein of "happiness making."

[gray sand]

Swords and Maces have the exact same timing iirc.

[glossy heath]

they do! same animations even

[gray sand]

That is my point.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, axes do not handle in any way similar to swords in real life, so I think they did a good job of trying to show that within the limits of the software.

[glossy heath]

axes used to be much closer to swords in speed, but hearth & home slowed them down and increased their per-hit damage (but as mentioned, it did so in a way that shrinks the damage difference with each tier iirc)

[gray sand]

Swords being fastest is fine.
But their damage should be dropped slightly.
Axes vs. Maces is the next point though. One should be slowest and hardest hitting while the other is middle at both.

DPS-wise they should all be roughly equal, but the per-hit gap should be large enough to be noticeable.

[near furnace]

Hm.. can't even find that change in the logs 🤔

[glossy heath]

like, it's sad.
mistwalker's slash and frost (even ignoring the 15 spirit here since that rarely applies!) combined is 133 damage
jotun bane's 95 slash and 40 poison is 135, considering that most of that poison is gonna be lost by consecutive hits, that's literally less per-hit damage on jotun bane than mistwalker

[gray sand]

Internal logs or the patch notes we all get to look at?

[gray sand]

-# Jotun Bane should have been 2H... 🙁

[glossy heath]

2h or not, it shouldn't have been this pathetic

[gray sand]

Well, making it a BA means you're applying poison in a larger AoE. Which is useful.

Until you hit Ashlands and everything is immune.. 😄

[glossy heath]

was gonna ask that next

[near furnace]

patch notes ofc

[glossy heath]

mistwalker has a field day in that biome, jotun bane's situation just gets even more comedic

[near furnace]

I would never tell unofficial stuff

[gray sand]

Valid.

[near furnace]

like. how could I have a conversation if you don't know the same as I do 😄

[gray sand]

I don't think it was in the notes, it was just tested and confirmed.
Someone may have mined it 🤷‍♂️ (idk how mining works at all so don't judge me if that second part is stupid)

[glossy heath]

wait hold the heck up
the damage difference between a level 4 bronze sword and bronze axe is 2 damage, am i seeing that right

well turns out i'm wrong about the gap getting smaller as you progress, because it's microscopic to begin with

[gray sand]

2 max damage, but yes.

I still think the ++ skill from Trinkets/Armor Sets should allow you to exceed the 100 mark and close the gap between min and max damage.

[glossy heath]

-# well i mean, considering mistwalker, it does still get smaller, by inverting and making swords the better per-hit damage weapon, even though they also have higher attack speed and reach and elemental coverage

[gray sand]

I mean... tbf - idk if they actually have a person in charge of numbers balance, or if it is just "whomever is making the weapons/armor puts the numbers on them."

🤷‍♂️

[dark coyote]

seems legit

[glossy heath]

oh they definitely don't think too much into it
iirc stuff is balanced around how it feels to use, which at least personally i wouldn't say is a good way to go about that

sorry i was typin

[gray sand]

How in the literal F is that not an instant ban??????

[strong dirge]

Agreed

[gray sand]

@lunar sapphire

[near furnace]

mew?

I went to the bathroom for 2 minutes..

and ya'll acting like world came apart

[strong dirge]

Thats what happens with discord

[lone rampart]

It isn’t named Harmony for a reason

[near furnace]

ah dammit

https://tenor.com/view/kicking-out-get-outta-here-gif-21553517

[strong dirge]

I wonder is he banned?

Or she in this case

[lone rampart]

I missed something and I was here

[glossy heath]

could be a compromised account, can't imagine too many reasons to do something like that other than to drag someone's name through the dirt haha

[near furnace]

probably someone taking a piss out of someones account

[gray sand]

Some people enjoy getting banned from Discords...

[strong dirge]

Hmmm

[near furnace]

or test our noughty word list

[lone rampart]

Some people need to find a hobby. A real hobby! 🧶

[strong dirge]

Like gaming?

[gray sand]

Like getting a cat.

[near furnace]

so that's like.. 6? bans today

[strong dirge]

Your kidding

[lone rampart]

I was gonna say “knitting” I don’t want those people in my game

[strong dirge]

What about me

[near furnace]

yes. only 4 😄

did 2 yesterday aswell

[lone rampart]

Your pfp pleases me you’d be allowed probably

[glossy heath]

i would say i'll take that as a compliment but i held off on deleting (or even reading) the first 3 messages until after i was done typing my axe slander

[strong dirge]

You have got to be kidding me man people are stupid

[near furnace]

some people do dumb things

[strong dirge]

Like hating blacks?

That was the weirdest thing I have ever seen in my entire life

[near furnace]

worse 🤔

[near furnace]

seen worse 😄

[candid basalt]

I’ve seen much worse too

[strong dirge]

How bad does it get

[near furnace]

ALOT 👀

[strong dirge]

Like to what point

[near furnace]

don't want to get into it

[candid basalt]

Just value moderators. They see stuff and stop stuff so you don’t have to

[strong dirge]

Good

[near furnace]

but interpool level of bad 🤔

[glossy heath]

and helpers, we can at least delete and report stuff~

[strong dirge]

Wait actually I can delate stuff if I wanted to if it was bad?

[near furnace]

you're not a helper. helpers have green names in discord

[tacit crystal]

Not regular users can delete other users posts.

[strong dirge]

Ahhh that makes much more sense

[dark coyote]

ah, so as long as I'm a helper I can delete anything I don't like? Seems kinda biased but ok

[strong dirge]

Don't delate me I beg of you

[gray sand]

Which is why they don't give it to people who would see it that way.

[near furnace]

if they do. they abuse power and that's a fast way to be removed

"with great power..."

[dark coyote]

comes great responsibility

[strong dirge]

Comes great responsibility

[strong dirge]

Gosh dang it

[dark coyote]

REMOVED

[near furnace]

and a cookie!

[tacit crystal]

Not what we don't like but what clearly breaks rules.

[glossy heath]

-# i'm the least trigger-happy staff member around here so if that ever happens, it ain't me
-# takes obvious scams or whatever we just witnessed to get my ass to act

[candid basalt]

Hey! My discord admin promised me cookies and never delivered! It’s a conspiracy

[near furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/cookies-enjoy-chocolate-chip-cookie-gif-11797931

[candid basalt]

Anyway back to Valheim, eh? I still need more tin

[tacit crystal]

Started to crave those chocolate chip cookies and it's almost 2 am.

[strong dirge]

My autism go hard hahaha

[strong dirge]

It's 3 here

[candid basalt]

Deep north cookies?

[dark coyote]

I just joined a public world, the other person immediately leaves, then the server shuts down lol

like why host it to begin with?

[strong dirge]

😔

[livid juniper]

i just died and it doesnt show where i died

waht do i do

[near furnace]

you've hidden your death markers?

[livid juniper]

no

it just disappeared completly

[near furnace]

you can remove them by clicking on them

[livid juniper]

fuck i mighta

is there anything i can do

i just made it into the plains and i didnt know those big fulings had a beserker mode

[near furnace]

you can probably see where you where on your discordered fog on the map 🤔

[livid juniper]

what even is that

welp i just gotta accept im cooked

and start my 2nd playthru

[near furnace]

you playing without map?

[livid juniper]

nope

[near furnace]

post a picture of your map then

[dark coyote]

I mean really, you just have no idea where you were in relation to your spawn bed?

[livid juniper]

i cant send a picture

[near furnace]

#screenshots here you can

[livid juniper]

its all good man thanks for the help

[near furnace]

you found it? or figured it out?

[livid juniper]

nope ill try again later

[south anvil]

Dude nobody told me sea serpents would come on land after me. I just had the scare of my life

The thing came completely out of the water slithering on land to come get me. I was terrified cuz I thought they would be like leeches where they're kind of stuck to the water, but nope

[dark coyote]

never seen that, I've seen leeches sort of wriggle over land though

[south anvil]

Shortly after it came after me, I watched it slither over a decent portion of land into a lake. It might be a bug but it was terrifying and absolutely worth keeping in the game

[livid juniper]

found my stuff.. did have to use teleport mod tho..

[rotund parrot]

I've seen them on land but it was just because I dragged them there with my harpoon

[fossil delta]

Same.

[south anvil]

I think it's a bug It would be really cool if they could actually do that

[fossil delta]

One thing I really like about this game is seeing things that others may never see while they play it. So you have what is probably a completely unique experience to remember now.

[steel mica]

Sorry for making you wait, I went afk also pretty sure you guys discussed this while I was away but I dont like pinging someone and just leaving no trace

Swords are already a strong weapon type even with mtp, not many enemies are resistant to swords which makes it a plus and this weapon is commonly paired with a shield which adds up to your survivability, combined that with a fast 3 combo attack and possibly the second highest single target dmg just behind 2h swords makes it a formidable weapon

[glossy heath]

ah you might have misunderstood.
1h swords currently don't have MTP, and sev and i were arguing for that to be reverted, and i don't think it's gonna happen because it's just barely justifiable enough (logic-wise)
but balance-wise gosh i don't like it
swords are the "default weapon" that everyone grabs if they wanna grab a weapon, sure, let em be versatile, but don't reward that uncreative choice with them also being the strongest weapon type, give them multi-target penalty back

(also don't worryyy, i don't mind pings~)

[light moat]

I think in a perfect world, 1h swords should have MTP, whilst 2h do not 🤔

[glossy heath]

at least one of those is now true

...afaik

[peak tendon]

i wish viles spawned more often

[light moat]

But I’ll settle for 2h swords not having it like it did before

We won Mr. Stark!

[steel mica]

Ah I see I get ya

[crystal vault]

hey anyone looking to start a new server

[barren whale]

mtp just sucks when its for hitting the ground or like a random shrub
i'd support it being removed entirely, at least for inanimate objects
swords, axes, and clubs are similar enough dps-wise that most of the difference is in secondary, hitbox, and mtp

[light moat]

#suggestions message

By the way, a suggestion that made its way into the game

[barren whale]

nah i think 2h swords need it or they become middle click only (they kinda already are)

[light moat]

I should clarify- I meant 2h swords not having MTP, we’re on the same page 🙂

[barren whale]

ohh gotcha 🍻

[glossy heath]

i love how frequently people get thrown off by the positive/negative when talking about MTP, i should probably say cleave instead, that would avoid that confusion

[steel mica]

As a 2h sword main yeah you mostly go for special attack, the regular 3-combo is a wee bit too slow to get a full combo

Might aswell one shot em b4 they get a hit

Its a high risk-high-reward type of weapon

Especially the special attack

[barren whale]

its super weird when like a reto overhand does half dmg because he hit a rock on the ground or whatever
I think 2h sword normals could benefit from slightly bigger hitboxes, whenever i test the normals i visually hit things but don't do damage
its just off-putting
the secondary is juicy af and spamming it is already higher dps than the normal chain lmao (you're just very vulnerable)

[steel mica]

Plus if you can stagger them from the first special another free special

[barren whale]

yepp

[steel mica]

Which is why I like em high dmg but risky

Plus cool factor carrying a giant sword

[barren whale]

one thing i'd love to see as a weapon balance adjustment is how far forward you step with each normal swing
most weapons knock enemies out of range and you kinda have to mash w (and potentially delay or reset your combo) to chase them
2h battleaxes are particularly bad about this

[steel mica]

I would propose a minor stat buff to 2h swords a slight increase in block force, I mean if you look at it logically its a giant hunk of metal ot should be enough to block most heavy attacks from enemies

[barren whale]

otherwise you kinda have to maneuver enemies into a wall so you can swing and actually land all your hits

[steel mica]

For some weapons but for others like 2h hammers and maces should remain the same because its purpose is to knockback enemies

[barren whale]

yeah i'd also support 2h swords having more block, it's not a super glaring issue but its annoying when you can't parry an enemy with the most parry-coded weapon ever

[steel mica]

Getting closer to your enemy with the purpose of knocking them away from you is kinda funny

[barren whale]

yeah sledges shouldn't chase but i'd argue 1h mace normals should
its funny how reliable the mace secondary is for juggling Reto and similar enemies, you're basically playing tennis with his pathfinding

[steel mica]

And ultimately you get hit

[steel mica]

I've never tried the mace...

Actually I've never used mace that often, only against bonemass

[barren whale]

you basically middle click when he approaches and he gets knocked so far back all his attacks completely miss

[tacit crystal]

Well gotta agree no MTP with 1h swords should be reverted, since all 1h weapons already benefit for having offhand for shield vs 2h weapons like claymores, battleaxes and sledges, which are more suited against bigger groups.

[steel mica]

Straight to the- you know

The rocks

[steel mica]

I swear to god its always frustrating and hilarious to just see a charred warrior backpedal or rather spin around which ultimately makes you miss your attacks

I've had this happen to me too many times

Their AI is something else, almost like they are sentient

[barren whale]

ehh i think 1h swords are fine
without it they have no edge (heh) against clubs (blunt superiority) and axes (+1 inventory slot)
that said the mistwalker and silver sword have pretty good damage profiles and probably contribute a lot to the perception of swords being too good - no one thinks swords are OP in Swamp but most do by Ashlands

[rotund parrot]

knifes are OP in swamp, even for blobs and skeletons that are weak agaisn't blunt, you will kill them faster with the razor than with an iron mace and use way less stamina

[gray sand]

If it is not coming OFF of the 1h, I could compromise by putting it ON axes as well. Leaving maces as the understandable exception.

[tacit crystal]

1h axes secondary actually don't have MTP.

[gray sand]

1h axe secondary needs to be a throw, but that's a whole other discussion.

[tacit crystal]

The secondary of it should have more than 1,5x damage multiplier tho.

[gray sand]

True.

[magic basin]

Hail warriors of Valheim.

New to the Discord, not to the game. Though to be fair, I’ve only recently reinstalled it. Got an urge out of nowhere to start playing again, and then started finding out about the Deep North and all that.

A lot has changed since I last touched Valheim. I never really got much past bronze last time, this time the intent is to go through it all…

Looking forward to magic, certainly. That’s my jam…

[gray sand]

Spear secondary should also get bumped imo.

[steel mica]

The tenth world awaits

Your arrival

[tacit crystal]

That's nice, still almost a whole experience ahead of you.
Magic will be much later addition tho.

[steel mica]

You have alot to discover

[rotund parrot]

Long way before magic, if you want a smooth and quick ride towards it make sure you use portals efficiently

[magic basin]

Yeah, I sort of had an eye-twitch moment when I realised just how far I needed to go to get to the magic. 🤣

But that’s just going to serve as the incentive to get there.

[steel mica]

You still have 5 goals before you can get there

And yet retrieving them wont be easier for a first timer

[barren whale]

and we'll be unable to clear stumps once more

spear secondary is just unusable in multiplayer I think its pretty OP for solo if you aim good

[glossy heath]

the idea woulda been to aim it at the ground

[steel mica]

My most unused weapon type is honestly knives

[barren whale]

this would be a nearly full 1.66x to tree chopping in its current form

[glossy heath]

i was actually kinda hoping for an axe throw secondary before we got the chop, it would've let you hit lower than usual while also adding some combat utility

[magic basin]

I have a server, and friends (and a son) to play with this time around. So the challenge isn’t as daunting.

I’ve always thought of Valheim as a singleplayer game best played with friends.

We’re already gearing up for The Elder, I just want my sword and shield (and upgraded leather armour) before we take him on.

Moved to a base in the Black Forest. It was definitely an uphill fight until recently. 😅 But we’ve started to pacify the area. And the moat helps. 🤣

[barren whale]

axe throw would be fun, i was kinda expecting it from berzerker axe secondary but i don't mind the one we got
i just don't think it'd make sense to do stumps by throwing your axe haha

[glossy heath]

it would look silly but it would be a solution

-# and i guess timing your secondary presses to do another throw as soon as you pick it back up but avoiding pressing it too early and kicking might be annoying

[split adder]

is bronze armor worth it or should i get one of the lighter armors

[tacit crystal]

I started using them more again and I like them a lot.

[barren whale]

if we get a gemmed knife in deep north that thing will absolutely annihilate the meta
i'm very excited to see what happens

[tacit crystal]

Before they got the secondary attack I was kinda hoping/anticipating that downward attack as secondary would be great, as swords hit middle and maces upwards.

[magic basin]

Depends - are you a brawler, or more of a skirmisher?

[tacit crystal]

Depends. Bronze armor requires metals and they're slow to mine at the start. Plus it slows your movement and does offer only little more armor.

[gray sand]

Combat update increased attack angle so stumps are a breeze now.

[barren whale]

oh that's nice, i haven't chopped many stumps recently

then yea axe throw would be super funny
until you lose it and then its -100 metal

[gray sand]

Fun*

[magic basin]

I’ve had a few occasions where I couldn’t hit a stump but just a little shuffle left/right and no longer a problem.

Last time I played, I’d leave stumps - thinking the tress would regrow. 🥴

[glossy heath]

that is an angle i've not considered i guess, ya lose way more than you would if you threw a spear

[gray sand]

Pro tip: Don't miss. 😏

[split adder]

what do i do while i wait for my tin to smelt

[magic basin]

Make more charcoal and chop more wood… And explore.

In the #suggestions channel - what’s the ‘recycle’ symbol intended to represent? Or is that explained somewhere I haven’t noticed yet?

[lone rampart]

The recycle symbol means it's a suggestion that's been made before

[gray sand]

Level swimming.

[split adder]

what good does swimming give me

[gray sand]

Well I will go fuck myself for suggesting something 🤷‍♂️

[split adder]

good point

[glossy heath]

anything really.
it doesn't require you to be present, nor is it limited by real time - if you sleep to skip the night, it speeds up your smelter progress accordingly

[magic basin]

Swimming will allow you to potentially not drown when a sea serpent wrecks your boat, or you slip and fall into a river with steep sides or when you try to cross a wide river.

Swimming is one of those “you don’t realise you need it, until you realise you need it” kind of skills.

[split adder]

interesting

[barren whale]

ya spear recipes are definitely balanced around the possibility of losing them / making multiple

[glossy heath]

fun fact: they originally didn't even have a melee attack, so yea

[gray sand]

Less fun fact: the reason wolf spear doesn't do spirit damage (while costing silver) is because it apparently was a Meadows weapon originally.

😭

Smiffe giveth, and Smiffe taketh away.

[elfin hearth]

No one told me how much iron I’d need 😂

[foggy glacier]

You wouldn't have believed us if we did.

[gray sand]

You will never stop needing iron.

[elfin hearth]

Yea just mined like 240, also thinking about how I shouldn’t have made that iron armor back then 😂

[gray sand]

Add a zero 😁

[elfin hearth]

Maybe 2 zeros

[echo wind]

Then you'd have a nice starting amount

[foggy glacier]

I'm feeling comfortable in my plains base having 2 BM chests full.

[light moat]

Make a TWIG (training dummy) and level your combat skills while you wait

[split adder]

this game has a dummy

[elfin hearth]

Didn’t even know that was an option

[light moat]

Yep, you can find the materials to make it ||from ghosts in the burial chambers||

[rotund parrot]

I think there's a bug with the dummy, sometimes when you accidently destroy the dummy because you do too much damage the dummy will drop the building material twice

The other day I wanted to train sword a bit on a character and I went from 2 dummy to 6 in half an hour

Also why did they make it so you keep having to rebuild it because you break it from attacking it

[lone rampart]

are you using the wooden training weapons?

[rotund parrot]

no

[lone rampart]

That's why TWIG breaks so fast then

[rotund parrot]

But in the end it was a good thing

it leveled so much faster both sword and blocking

whilst fighting 6 twig at a time

[barren whale]

i can usually find one behind the keyboard

[tepid prawn]

Devs are called IRONgate 🙂 what did you expect 🤣

[timber marsh]

First gjall: HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING

5th gjall: let's play pop da balloon!

[timber marsh]

Cut more trees. You're gonna need it

[split adder]

gjall died

[timber marsh]

Don't bother with heavy armor till you get full padded

[open bolt]

Does Hardmode make enemies with stars spawn more frequently? Or does it just give the enemies more damage without increasing the spawn rates for starred enemies?

[foggy glacier]

both. You get harder enemies and a greater likelihood of starred ones too. also, your damage goes down.

[open bolt]

I see... 😅 Even harder than I thought. Thanks! ^^

[plush umbra]

guys do one zero star boar only eat strawberries?

i gave him carrots and he wont eat it XD

whe i gave him strawberries it already making babies and eating it

[pliant hatch]

They will eat it the moment they're hungry.

If you just had fed them berries, they're not hungry enough to eat the carrots.
So just drop those on the ground and wait a bit.

[plush umbra]

i see okay i think i get whats happening '

i think i need to stay for abit right?

[pliant hatch]

If you got them near or in your base it's ok to do other things.
There's no reason to wait for boarp*rn.

If they're outside your base, the carrots may decay if you're too far away.

[plush umbra]

cause it looks like if im a way they kinda dont breed or alteast pause

[wary agate]

random idea and im sure this has been suggested before - but would be sweet if the final content of the game required an item that let you sail off the edge of the world to reach the final zone

after deep north, final update is valhalla

[smoky saddle]

Valhalla would be the most fitting end to the game, but I think they ultimately could add it alongside deep north as some final cutscene or area to visit.

[barren whale]

headcanon is that valhalla is the promise and valheim is the reality

[hazy seal]

Tbh, what's your favorite boss track?

Mine is bonemass, starts off weak, but when it gets to the good part, dang does it go fucking nutty, and that good part just goes so much stronger than any other boss track for me

[tacit crystal]

Yagluth and Fader.

[tired path]

The Yagluth boss track is unmatched. Fader is a close second

[tired path]

I never use the wooden weapons and only managed to actually destroy Twig with the Silver Sword. With other weapons, the DPS just doesn't match his health regen

[tacit crystal]

The thing with wooden weapons is low stamina cost.

[steel mica]

Endgame gonna be like:

red pill = stay in purgatory
blue pill = "reach" valhalla

[open bolt]

I mean, if by "purgatory" you mean Valheim, it isn't a bad afterlife

UwU

[glossy heath]

-# kind of based on outdated lore from before early access release anyway. no idea why the old opening text is still maintained on the wiki when it kind of directly contradicts the text that's in the game now, and the fact that "guardians" were renamed to "forsaken" for a reason

[tired path]

2-star Charred Warrior would like to have a word with you

[candid basalt]

The word is “oh hell nah!”?

[near furnace]

(s)word

[open bolt]

I have seen one of those. They are beautiful ✨️

deadly, but beautiful.

btw, I just dodge rolled on top of the Draugr's head. 😂 it was the most absurd/random movement one of my characters has ever made.
He just appeared out of nowhere when I was mining so I was caught by surprise and just jumped to try avoiding it, so I actually jumped on top of it and then rolled.

Basically rolled on the air, except it wasn't actually the air, because it was the Draugr's head.

gotta love the physics.

[steel mica]

You never know, changes might happen after final major update

[rotund parrot]

That's what I happened to use, must be the spirit damage that stops it from healing or something

[grave parcel]

why no end game fist weapon

do they really have to add scorched bear...

[tired path]

The Silver Sword has insane DPS against Undead, in fact I think it's only second to maxed out Lightning weapons from Ashlands, but with way less stam consumption

[fast parcel]

💡 4 drakkars stuck on shore, all my best gear gone. No way to get back w/o a ship. Unbeknown to me landed right next to a spawner. 30+ mobs at once over 4 landings to try and recover stuff. Can not kill the spawner now with 30+ mobs around it and my gear. Hate this game.

I played ashlands back in 2024 and it was not this bad....

[steel mica]

Its the spirit dmg that carries it but using it for other mobs in the ashlands is kinda of eh but not unusable

[tired path]

Ashlands landing is one of the most intense parts of the game, specially if you were sailing away from a Bonemaw. Placing a Portal down is so key. If you feel like punching your monitor you can always use debugmode to teleport back. Done it multiple times, saved me a monitor or two

[tired path]

It's defnitely the spirit damage, yeah. Also, bear in mind that Ashlands enemies are almost all weak to Spirit, which means the insane spirit damage that the Silver Sword does is multiplied by 1,5

Now that I'm doing some math, the Silver Sword is the highest DPS weapon for Ashlands enemies

At 160 damage per slash, including Spirit weakness and not including any potential Slash resistance (I don't think there is any)

[steel mica]

I was very lucky on my second ashlands landing on my second playthrough

Not many enemies on my location since I was close to a ruined structure

[tired path]

In my current playthough I managed to land right next to a Putrid Hole and away from spawners. I'm close to the shore and set up camp behind the Putrid Hole. Getting out of that little cover I made is terrifying, but at least I have a safe spot

[rotund parrot]

it's a good idea to land with materials to put multiple portals down and run along the shore and place 2 or 3 in morgen holes entrances or near dvergers outposts.

[steel mica]

Best thing to honestly do in the ashlands is get either a regular or 1* asksvin and start breeding them as soon as possible, not only for materials but for defense and protection

[rotund parrot]

That's my plan if I reach the ashlands on hardcore but just because I will be forced to build there since I can't use portals

[steel mica]

No portal run insane

Truly a Scales fan

[rotund parrot]

That's what hardcore is, very hard combat, no map or portals

I took a different approach this time, triple health food all the way, even with forest tier food and a bronze buckler I was even able to parry trolls and if I missed I wouldn't even get 1 shot I don't think

It still does 12 damage through the parry and stagger you sometimes, abomination is the same thing so it doesn't change much for me, the real challenge is no map and portals

I am just not a fan of the usual playstyle of cheesing everything with a bow

[tired path]

I could never play with no portals

[rotund parrot]

I find it relaxing and immersive

[chrome badge]

Would it be optimal to just be ready to setup a new main in ashlands?

All crafting table materials in the Drakkar, etc?

[wet wolf]

yes or atleast a decent outpost

[chrome badge]

Sorry, I meant for noportal.

[rotund parrot]

I am planning on setting up as close to the ashlands as possible, sailing through the pillars multiple time doesn't worry me and once I have a foothold on the ashlands and a fortress cleared I plan on setting up there

[chrome badge]

That's fair, I suppose navigating pillars isn't so bad if you have a path you are confident with.

[rotund parrot]

it would also be hard to fit everything you need in one trip

I once failed a run trying to sail to the ashlands with a couple cart on the drakkar that had everything to setup a base, ran into a serpent during a storm, the carts glitched on the boat, damaging the ship extremely fast and the serpent ate me

What annoyed me the most was that after all that work I didn't even get to experience the landing and base building in the ashlands in a hardcore context

[steel mica]

Truly an even bigger Scales fan

[split adder]

why are there so many greydwarf nests in this black forest

i see one i run away from it to find another, which i run from to find another

it just keeps going

[narrow quest]

uf they are close to eachoter, make a double greydwarf farm

[unreal jolt]

are bears meant to be a completely untenable situation every time you encounter one

gray numbers on em even with bronze gear, aaaaa

they're new since i last played during mistlands update

[split adder]

i think they are weaker against slash damage

[unreal jolt]

bro that health bar ain't moving even with a bronze sword

i just want to mine more copper :<

[glass edge]

Fire arrows

Still a huge hp pool though

[unreal jolt]

ngl black forest feels overstuffed with elite monsters with these guys here

on a very short route between a copper node and my starter village, there is either a bear or a troll right along the path almost every single day

[split adder]

if you have a bronze buckler you can parry it which can kill it somewhat quickly

[glass edge]

Haven't done a new playthrough since they were released but yeah, was wondering how you'd deal with bf in biome appropriate gear

[unreal jolt]

you kinda just... don't?

i am desperately trying to scramble enough copper to get a buckler in hopes of parrying but

the noise from the pick just pulls another bear, no matter how far I run to the next deposit

or a bear AND a troll, kinda wish they could friendly fire at least

[glass edge]

Try a campfire/keep a torch handy

Pretty sure they run from fire, trolls will help you mine!

[unreal jolt]

trolls are great help yea

i've been jumped by so many in my previous mistlands playthrough that i can melee them with a flint spear lmao

the bears are naaaasty tho

gonna try fire, will report with results

[glass edge]

Good luck!

[unreal jolt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/209817490887409665/1462189624083353661/Valheim_o45NIzhX3W.gif

why isn't he trying to escape lmao

this works ig, holy health bar tho

[glass edge]

Lmao, the smell of delicious bear meat bbq overriding the need for self preservation

[unreal jolt]

i guess further forays into the black forest will require me to pack a bear slow cooker on hand at all times

[paper marsh]

Doesn't sound much like scales. All I've ever seen from scales is making the game difficult combat wise

[candid basalt]

Omg deep north needs crockpots and a use for bear meat lol

[steel mica]

Still good honestly, no map and portal combined with hardcore is a pretty good achievement getting to ashlands

I would have been probably dead in blackforest

[paper marsh]

for sure yeah

I tried a world on all the hardest settings and man was it tough

Hella fun too though somehow

[unreal jolt]

i'm more interested in valheim the game than valheim the immersive viking sim

i can see the value of the latter and how hardcore would be amazing for that

for me standard settings with 1.5x loot is basically perfect

makes the maybe-too-expensive recipes a little more bearable without flooding my inventory with resin

[paper marsh]

Things slowing down the game like no map and no portals and 0.5x resources was fun to try once, but I don't think I'll ever do it again

I love cranking up the difficulty and raids and fire tick and imposing my own challenges to keep the game challenging tho

[steel mica]

I might do hardcore once the game fully releases

Im honestly quite excited for the release

Not just because of deep north but gaining an even bigger audience

More players to play valheim and seeing what they do

[unreal jolt]

i expect a lot of really important QoL to show up with deep north so

i'm waiting on that stuff before I get into the grit of the game

[steel mica]

They might do minor QoL after deep north

Just a guess

[gentle kettle]

hello how can i find peaople to play with?

[paper marsh]

#1024264966712340510 . Can see other peoples posts or even make your own

[gentle kettle]

thank u

[inner shoal]

ive seen videos where people are based in the black forest. as a 2 day player that is just insane to me lol

i mean.....I built a cool boat and killed 2 trolls and atm i feel like im hot shit 🙂

[odd flare]

finally got my black forge, table and 2 orb makers and upgrades

now to decide if i want to magic it out, or go carapace and start working on these weapons

[spiral pollen]

UPDATE THE FUCKING GAME, ITS GETTING BORING

[split adder]

if im going against the wind is it ever useful to use my sail

[near furnace]

SORRY FOR YOU HAVING A BORING TIME

[spiral pollen]

ITS ALLRIGHT MATE DONT WORRY

[near furnace]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE!
DEEP NORTH WILL PROBABLY NOT SUCK WHEN IT'S RELEASED

[merry pebble]

Good thing Scales is not here atm, he would be even more deaf now

[split adder]

is it dumb to sail during the nighttime

will a serpent possibly spawn

[near furnace]

it's a risk

[split adder]

there it is

if i reach shore does it go away

[odd flare]

HOLY CRAP MAGIC IS INSANE

[subtle ginkgo]

WHY IS YOU GET THE CHILL EVENT NOT CHILL AT ALL?

Like wym im getting hunted down by gerihaffa, 2 star fenring and cultists

[tacit crystal]

Chill, right?

[candid basalt]

Faster to paddle into the wind

[dark coyote]

Jimmy Hoffa's lesser known, lesser criminal brother Gerry Hoffa

[split adder]

how am i supposed to transport a ton of scrap iron from crypts

[chrome cape]

Use the bigger boat though and put it in storage, it has 12 slots I think so total 12x30=360. On smaller boat storage is 4 slots only I think

Acually the bigger boat you need to get iron nails anyway so it would be the best if you found some iron close to ur base

[split adder]

do dropped items despawn

[nocturne wolf]

If you have a black forest near the swamp you can smelt a small amount of iron and make a longship before sailing back

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, if they're not near important pieces such as campfires or workbenches

[chrome cape]

Yeah true acually that’s what I did, I forgot xD

But I made 3 bases so I just called it that

[abstract warren]

Wait why tf mace seems faster than axe

[edgy moss]

Some of the new builds of the month are crazy cool - guess they use "god mode" for building materials?

[nocturne wolf]

Mace primary and sword primary are the same attack

[steel mica]

The last update is driving people to madness

And tbh I dont blame them but at the same time I'd like a full quality released update ESPECIALLY the QoL changes

[timber marsh]

Install the star wars mod it's fun

Hopefully they do a hoth update for the deep north

[timber marsh]

I hope so I'm out of stew

[timber marsh]

Yeah drag it to shore so you don't lose the scales

[keen zenith]

hey can u helpme pls ?

do i have a chance to collect it directly when ı press to get an item from the ground

can i have a mod name

[dark coyote]

it doesnt exist until you click the object

[worn mirage]

i hope to god theyre cooking rn because ive been itching for a reason to come back

[keen zenith]

i want it to come to my inventry once i click it

[worn mirage]

wouldnt auto pickup work?

[keen zenith]

mod name Autopicker by same

[smoky saddle]

Do the wisp torches clear the mist permanantly in the area its placed in?

[keen summit]

any chance backpacks get added one day 🙁

[runic sierra]

yep

[runic sierra]

u can install backpack mod. i think i've seen people in youtube use that

[runic sierra]

i dont think axe is good for offensive in the first place, they're meant to cut woods.. the only scary axe is dual wield one

[near furnace]

no

it pushes it away

[split adder]

is it worth taking my entire base setup to the area near the swamp so i dont have to transport iron to my base

or should i just make a big boat real quick

[merry pebble]

I du usually make the big boat as quickly as possible 😄

[abstract warren]

Damn it I'm out of boar meat

Just found a boar but only one

Oh another one!

[oblique zinc]

Tame em, that way you'll have a renewable resource

[abstract warren]

Yeah that's what I'm doing

Need two

And I lost the second one dang it

[smoky saddle]

So do you have to be in its vicinity for it to push the mist away?

[fossil delta]

I find it best to not build my main base close to spawn. I do it at least far enough out that I get starred boar as random spawns, and not just at the villages or boar stones. Preferably close to a BF so hauling copper back is quick and easy.

[abstract warren]

I may have foolishly hunted down boars to extinction on my island...

[split adder]

just introduce an invasive species

[fossil delta]

They respawn, just not necessarily every day, but they do in the same area.

Not necessarily the exact same spot, but in the same general area.

[abstract warren]

Can I harpoon a wild boar?

[fossil delta]

Yep.

To harpoon tame boar you need to turn on pvp.

[abstract warren]

Oh

[chrome badge]

It's best to let it be angry at you and let it chase you to an enclosure by your base, just let it hit you every so often so it doesn't give up.

[abstract warren]

Yeah

I got 3 on me now lol

[chrome badge]

Nice haha

[abstract warren]

And another back at base 👌

[fossil delta]

3 at once? I hope you have decent armor by now. 😄

[abstract warren]

*4 now lol

Yeah I got fully upgraded root armour

[fossil delta]

Oh, yeah, they probably don't even damage you any more.

[abstract warren]

Yeah

I can pen and tame them all together right?

[fossil delta]

I think they stopped hurting me even in my basic bear armor. IE before levelling it up.

[abstract warren]

As long as it's big enough

[near furnace]

no, it should always work, and when the player isn't around, things should basicly "freeze" in place

[abstract warren]

Omfg they're running away damn it

[fossil delta]

You'll need to ensure they have enough room for breeding, though.

[chrome badge]

Yeah, you have to make sure they all get some hits in on you, or they'll give up

I think if they miss around 4-5 times, they'll turn back and give up.

[fossil delta]

I'd use wood walls for 4 of them, They can tear down the pole pen walls pretty quickly with 4 of them.

[abstract warren]

They'll calm down soon enough with their belly full of carrot

Or berries

[fossil delta]

You have to stay far enough away from them, for them to calm down, food doesn't make them calm down.

[split adder]

let us throw rocks at things

i wanna see killing a (insert strong enemy here) with only rocks

[abstract warren]

Not calming down....

Except one

[fossil delta]

Your not staying far enough away.

[abstract warren]

Maybe

Idk I think I am though

[fossil delta]

If they are not calming, definitely. Fire also scares them until they are tamed.

[abstract warren]

Now 3 are calm but only one has green hearts

I gave them all food though

[fossil delta]

Food alone does not calm them.

No fire near by, and no people near by.

Then they will start eating the food, and become tame.

[abstract warren]

Yeah

[split adder]

why is it that the moment i go home i get a troll attack event

[fossil delta]

I also like to sneak around them, and increase my stealth, while they tame.

[split adder]

how do i kill an army of trolls

[fossil delta]

Define army.

3 trolls? 5 trolls? 20 trolls?

[split adder]

it seems only 2 spawned

i think ill be fine actually

[gray sand]

Ground Shaking only ever has 2.

[split adder]

oh cool

[fossil delta]

Yeah, just divide and conquer. Unless your in iron gear or better.

[gray sand]

If you kill one, another spawns. But only 2 living at any time.

[abstract warren]

This taming shit is buggy fr

[fossil delta]

You usually only have time to kill 6 during a raid.

With better sets of gear.

[fossil delta]

It goes pretty smoothly for me, but I have known what needs to be done for a long time now.

[split adder]

i think one of the trolls despawned

[merry pebble]

If the raid ends then both trolls will eventually despawn 🙂

[abstract warren]

What if I'm quite close to them but inside my house out of sight?

Why do they still sense me lol

[merry pebble]

As in they have the red ! above their head?

[abstract warren]

Nope doesn't have it actually

Just acting up for some reason

[merry pebble]

If its just running but is "calm" then it wants to go to the area it spawned in. Once oyu tame it and it gives birth to piggies then those will not have the same need to go back.

[abstract warren]

Ok but how do I tame it if it just keeps wanting to go back...

[merry pebble]

Just throw it some food, it should eventually eat it

[split adder]

do roots float

[merry pebble]

Dont remember, i have a feeling they dont 🤔 but usually that is not a problem since swamps are quite shallow

[split adder]

the abomination ran into the ocean

[merry pebble]

You could wait for it to get back 😄

[split adder]

its killing fish

wait nevermind the fish are alive

[merry pebble]

Fish cant be killed 🤔

[split adder]

ah

do abominations float on top of the water

[fossil delta]

Nope.

Their mats sink too.

[split adder]

it looked like it was going up with the waves

[fossil delta]

They can fully submerge. They just may be standing on a sand bar or similar shallow area when it looks like that.

I have never seen them actually swim.

Let alone float. They always walk, like the undead do.

Since they are part of that group, thats consistent.

[split adder]

if i have 2 pieces of root armor giving me weakness to fire, does it increase the weakness or is it the same

[nocturne wolf]

Damage modifiers generally don’t stack

[split adder]

should i go find haldor for his carry weight increase thingy

i feel like it would help a lot with hauling iron to my ship

[dull kite]

anyone tryna start a world

[abstract warren]

I thought the pen was too small but nope

Same bs

[fossil delta]

I never move on to iron without that belt. 😄

[fossil delta]

Have you made sure no fires are too close? IIRC, even torches set them off.

Also any enemies getting too close with frighten them.

[split adder]

why did my hammer just say "that wont work" what did i do

[fossil delta]

It usually lets you know what your missing. Usually your out of range of a work bench, or don't have all the proper mats, etc....

[abstract warren]

Yes

I've no idea why it's like this

Oh maybe because there is a hearth quite close... Although it's inside the house, I guess that doesn't matter lol

[fossil delta]

It doesn't. Walls do not stop its area of effect.

[abstract warren]

Yeah

Didn't think of that lol

[split adder]

how much food do i need to tame a boar

[fossil delta]

I think its 6 food per.

I just throw a stack in there and retrieve it once they are tame.

You have to stay near by for the process anyways.

Which takes 30 minutes if all goes perfectly.

[split adder]

if i break a boat do i get all of my resources back

[abstract warren]

How far does the fire need to be from the boars

[abstract warren]

Yeah

But be careful not to leave them waterlogged or they'll despawn

[undone forum]

@sleek sky #screenshots message
you might be able to squeeze into the crypt, the top left corner of the door isn’t covered by the tree. Getting out might be an issue

[sleek sky]

i tried, couldnt get in

[abstract warren]

Asshole bear just came and killed my boars ffs

[tired apex]

Does anyone think living in the back forest like, early game is a good idea?

[bitter path]

no, i dont think is a good idea

[tired apex]

Well I've been playing for a while and can easily kill everything apart from bears, and it has some really good pre built structures, aswell as being near copper and tin

[split adder]

its not a good place to put your base but its not a bad place either

[bitter path]

in early is going to be a problem because of the enemies just messing with u

advancing they gonna be a problem to your buildings

[tired apex]

The greydwarfs are pretty annoying always being around, are those spike things good for killing them(

[split adder]

how much iron is enough iron

[lone rampart]

More than you have.

[split adder]

what if i (and this is completely theoretical) theoretically have 800 stacks

[abstract warren]

Gonna put some stake wall around my boars this time

[lone rampart]

Then that MIGHT be enough almost, depending on how much you use for building

[split adder]

is this foreshadowing for the future

[lone rampart]

I’d put a double stake wall if I were you. The greydwarf shamans can spray poison through walls, so you’ll want some buffer space

[dark coyote]

you're gonna love ashlands

[tired apex]

Furthest I've been in a save is the plains are it is not fun.

But anyway, are spike walls helpful for the greydwarfs?

[abstract warren]

Should be

[tired apex]

Also I really like blunt weapons but the atgeir seems like it's just gonna always be better, are their better blunts later so I can still use the mace?

[abstract warren]

Yeah there's the Frostner

I heard it's very good

[tired apex]

Like are all weapon types viable? or are polearms just gonna be better always

[tacit crystal]

All are viable but some are better in certain situations and against certain enemies due to them having either resistances or weaknesses against certain damage types.

[split adder]

do abominations have set spawn locations or something
they seem to keep spawning in this one spot

[tacit crystal]

They don't.

[tired apex]

so like skeletons or golems etc are weak to blunt, but maybe greydwarfs or goblins are weak to slashing? It makes it seem like the atgeir overpowers the sword and spear then

[tacit crystal]

Slash is actually damage type that has the least amount of enemies resistant against but none weak against it. It's all around solid damage type.

Pierce and blunt have more variety for weak and resistant against them.

[tired apex]

So would the mace be good early game atleast, cause i'd really like to use it. My last run i used the atgeir and it lowkey made it feel too easy early game

[inner knot]

[tacit crystal]

Try looking in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍

[tired apex]

Well thanks for the help, gotta go back to mining copper continuously until my friends get on 🥀 🥀 🥀

[inner knot]

bet ty

[tired apex]

I kinda feel like their slave doing everything

[inner knot]

it says i have a timer fora hour even though i just joined

[tired apex]

If you literally just joined, you'll have to wait, I think it's just to remove server spam in more annoying to change channels

[tacit crystal]

I recommend reading the channel description in the lfg channel.

Iirc there are some additional rules to be noted.

[tired apex]

I would totally invite a random onto my world lol, but i got to ask my friends first

[abstract warren]

How can I heal my injured boar if he's not hungry so he won't eat...

[inner knot]

i would but i lowkey was tryna start from the bottom unless you guys already we're , but if u guys are n they say yh lmk but if not thank u bro

[tired apex]

Oh we just made the server yesterday, only beat the first boss. (which is normally done in the first 15 mins)

Let me add you, if my friends say no then ill be up to playing on a new server later today

[shell sigil]

hey guys I started playing valheim a month ago and I was just wondering if always takes this long between updates (I'm not calling out or putting pressure on the devs, I'm just curious) since the last update was in nov 2025

[mellow shadow]

Do speed modifiers stack? 🤔

[timber marsh]

Hmm, I want to build a dueling arena. Does player vs player decrease your xp?

[solar sedge]

The last major content update was about 20 months ago. They are a small team and take time bewteen major updates. But its always worth it because the updates are huge and add alot to the game.

[light moat]

Yep, you still lose levels in PvP. You may consider utilizing wooden weapons as to minimize the risk of death.

[timber marsh]

Hmm... we just wanna spar for fun

Can it be changed in world modifiers?

[light moat]

World modifiers can’t reduce the penalty of death, but I don’t believe you can entirely negate it.

Basically, you’ll always lose at least 1 level in your skills, even at the most forgiving setting.

[timber marsh]

The dedicated server is vanilla

[light moat]

When I use the term modifiers, I mean vanilla settings 🙂

[shell sigil]

ah I see, thanks for the info and yeah if it takes longer but the content is better and/or there's more of it then they can take all the time they want lol

[light moat]

There might be some sort of command that could help? But I don’t know much about that 🤔

[abstract warren]

Do I need to be around the pregnant boar for it to give birth?

[frigid gust]

Yeah, it has to be loaded in to give birth.

[abstract warren]

Ok

[light moat]

A wild Pita appears!

[dusty frost]

just beat moder in 30 seconds

using tier apropriate gear

[livid juniper]

add crackable npcs pls

[grave parcel]

i love bear armor and bears ij valheim but i feel they are lowkey poorly designed

blind and deaf, no cooking recipe, going afk most of the time

[lunar sapphire]

hmm?

[livid juniper]

more importantly why cant i fucking find flacx

ive purged 15 fucking villages

im gonna actually get angry

[paper marsh]

Damn that sounds unlucky

[chrome badge]

Hmm, maybe try swearing more

😄

[livid juniper]

i will

[abstract warren]

Is he that easy

[livid juniper]

ive slaughter 200 golbins

and i havent found ONE FLAX

[dusty frost]

she*

[chrome badge]

That's rough, I usually find it within 1 or 2 villages. 👀

[abstract warren]

My bad

[dusty frost]

and no
I spent a week breeding 1star wolves waiting for my co op friend to be online

[livid juniper]

HOLY SHIT

[abstract warren]

Oh dang

[livid juniper]

I FOUND IT

[abstract warren]

Well.. you might just say it's the wolves who defeated her then lol

[livid juniper]

swearing worked

[chrome badge]

As it should

[livid juniper]

i thank you omni

[dusty frost]

I got extremely lucky with a moder arena in my starting mountain

so i just bred the wolves in my home base and walked them over on the day of

breeding them in the mountains is a nightmare because of drakes

[raven otter]

So damn jealous on everyone in here ;-;

[timber marsh]

New player joins server.
Try to explain a few things
They died to a tree

[feral grove]

The classic Valheim experience.

If you haven't died to a tree, have you even played Valheim?

[lone rampart]

I need more people on my server; I've cooked so much food I'm out of storage.

And my cooking skill is STILL only 20!!

[pastel gust]

tree chopping is serious business.

[timber marsh]

I have the opposite problem. Built a village tavern at spawn... trying to keep the dining table full with 10 unique players

[lone rampart]

Want a food delivery? 🤣

It probably wouldn't work since we probably don't have the same mods

[timber marsh]

The server is vanilla. Just have some client side mods

[lone rampart]

Yeah, see...wouldn't work then.

[timber marsh]

Not gonna deal with compatibility issues with a bunch of random players

[flat stag]

anyone tried Enshrouded and how is it compared to Valheim? Similar vibes?

[timber marsh]

Only one rule really, leave the spawn base alone. Otherwise go nuts

[livid juniper]

yo ithink i just saw fucking thor

[pastel gust]

as opposed to the normal thor?

[livid juniper]

yes

HES COMING CLOSER

SHOULD I BOAT AWAY?

[pastel gust]

what was he fucking?

[livid juniper]

DOES HE HARM ME

[mellow shadow]

So climbing the freaking mountain is not enough. Now I'm "being hunted" too! 💀

[livid juniper]

should i boat away?

[pine veldt]

nah go kick his ass

[inner knot]

terrible engine , horrible performance even on good pcs but it does seem to be a good game tbh

[fossil delta]

I like being hunted. Great way to get lots of wolf skewers.

Plus get the trophy quickly.

[bitter path]

man, the jump from mountains to plains is damn painfull

[fossil delta]

Combat is much like Valheims, and if you like building, the builds get very nice looking, plus you can do amazing gardens. It runs fine on my PC, but I am toward the higher end of systems.

[bitter path]

already died like 4 times

i dont remember this biome being this hard some years ago

[fossil delta]

I think its easier now, but that just may be due to all my hours of playing Valheim.

[inner knot]

yeah its for higher end pcs but even my brothers pc a 3060 can only run max 60fps on max performance in-game but the videos of the game do look cool just gameplay feels choppy a little just feels a little undeveloped

[fossil delta]

And wiping probably hundreds of fuling villages by now.

[inner knot]

does anyone know why my invite code wont show i jclicked start server?

[fossil delta]

Last I checked it was still an EA game. Have they finished it now?

[inner knot]

i dont think so , last i saw was they dropped a new update a while ago but theyve been still continuing development on and off as i think its a smaller team of devs

[abstract warren]

I'm getting too many portals

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I have no idea, I don't follow them like I follow IG.

[abstract warren]

I guess installing a portals QoL mod is in order

[fossil delta]

I usually have 30+ portals by the time I finish Ashlands.

[bitter path]

build a portal hall can be nice

[abstract warren]

Yeah maybe

[inner knot]

xportals on top

[abstract warren]

Yeah

[bitter path]

damn, last time i played you could only play mistland on the test server lmao

ashland look painfull to grind

[odd flare]

Decided to make a new main base in the mistlands since I discovered the entire huge island I'm on that's all mistlands and no stone for the boss. Relocating my supplies because where and how I built this base I have space for every single crafting branch, including farming for ml/plains crops. I've come to realize how much time I've wasted farming soft tissue and crafting eitr. I just kept farming and making it out of habit. Now, I did move my 300 iron scraps, and 431 bars over that are all extra(3 hours of sailing back and forth) but I'm realizing I have too much stuff, so what do I do with it?

[fossil delta]

Its very much close to being a non stop slug fest. Plus its just plain ugly, and even the environment is out to kill you.

[bitter path]

so, when is deep north coming out?, or the public test?

[lone rampart]

Unknown at this time

[bitter path]

damn

[fossil delta]

No info yet, It sounds like there will be no ptb for it.

[bitter path]

im in like 3 games in the same state

[fossil delta]

Smiffe has said they are doing a lot more in house play testing for this one. He hasn't said plainly that there will be no ptb, so that is why I said it only sounds like there won't be.

[bitter path]

hmm

they want to make this one update a big surprise for everyone

[fossil delta]

Of course he could have clearly said it one way or the other when I have not been following Discord.

[bitter path]

as far a i understand from everything i been looking about the state of the game

[fossil delta]

Thats been the impression I have been getting from SMiffe as well.

[bitter path]

after this update they should be closer to the 1.0 right?

[fossil delta]

Its going to be the 1.0 release.

[bitter path]

a.

[fossil delta]

That has been clearly stated, many times.

[bitter path]

damn

well, after like 3 years of not playing the game

im still triyng to get to date with the information

[fossil delta]

You should play it again. They have added enough things in earlier biomes, etc... you have to take a different approch to advancing through a couple of the old biomes, in addition to learning the new biomes.

Plus the two new traders add some important elements.

[plush umbra]

does fire arrow and dragur poison on bow stack?

[idle eagle]

yes it does

[plush umbra]

well thats lovely

two tick damage for 1

[dire night]

is valhiem still active? i have not heard much from the game in a long time..

[tacit crystal]

It is actively under development and will get 1.0 update next.

[dire night]

thats gewd to hear

[tacit crystal]

They had December break from posting Word from devs blog due to them leaving on vacation but the team is currently working and next blog post will be announced in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 👍

[dire night]

i enjoy the game alot but with solo play... i tend to get my butt kicked hard... like the bears tends to just crush me everytime.. then something else does.. and it is hard not to console command

[tacit crystal]

The game is balanced around solo play. Learning mechanics like parrying with shield and dodging attacks helps surviving those encounters.
-# In case of bears, their weaker attacks (one paw swipes) can be parried with wooden shield.

[dire night]

would love to join someone's community.. but alot of folks like to go meta and break the illusion of the game or stealing loot... but that is just general

[tacit crystal]

You have checked https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 correct?

[dire night]

not of yet very recently arrived..

[dire night]

issue with servers to join... generally they're not awake right now.. and i wanna play the game..

[muted rain]

Does anyone know when the ps5 release is?

[dire night]

i look up the updates to valhiem on youtube and now my feed is full of valhiem suggeted videos

[abstract warren]

Golem is damn hard to parry ugh

[dire night]

where do people generally get their valhiem mods?

[smoky saddle]

I play the game as intended

[abstract warren]

Thunderstore

[dire night]

seeing a bunch of videos.. makes me wanna start my own server.. knowing that it isnt to hard to set it up... but seeing how you have to pay someone else to run your server or you have to have it running on your computer all the time to have other players play.. i wonder if it is easier just to invite the people over whenever i am online..

[prime plume]

Hi, is there any builders out there who could take some time to help me figure out roofing?

[open bolt]

Odin just appeared to my character twice in the same night, almost in the same place and like 30seconds apart. 😂

he basically disappeared from one place and aappeared a few meters later.

[fading dew]

im assuming you cant, but is it possible to have a buckler with the skoll and hati

[prime plume]

would say no since it's a two handed weapon

[prime plume]

odin is an scp

[open bolt]

He was shaming my encumbered character for carrying 6 stacks of iron at once instead of carrying less stacks many times.

[prime plume]

nah hes commending you on your gains.

[twilit arch]

Hello, when Valheim will be available on ps5? Thanks for feedback

[abstract warren]

Seems like a growing demand nowadays

[abstract warren]

Just dieded

1-star wolf kicked my ass

Maybe I should wear iron armour instead of root

[near furnace]

it's not something we have said 🤔

all we said is 2026

so any kind of "leaks" or so are purly speculations 😄

[near furnace]

^ see here

[twilit arch]

Will you at least tell me which part of the year? 😄 😄 😄

[near furnace]

sadly not allowed to due to contracts and other things 😅

[nocturne wolf]

The part that hasn’t happened yet

[twilit arch]

It's always worth a try 😄

[near furnace]

yup 😄

[median ibex]

Honestly, no matter how far I progress, I still love the thatch roof aesthetic.

Rustic longhouse, my beloved.

[near furnace]

^^

[median ibex]

I love using black marble in the Mistlands, but in areas like the Meadows, Black Forest, and Plains? I always just default to thatch 'n' wood, or dark wood 'n' stone.

I love the very bluntly viking looking buildings; I want to look at my builds and have them scream "norse".

And the easiest way to do that is with the first two wood types imo.

[abstract warren]

How do I protect my boars from ghosts/wraiths???

They just killed them all but one damn it

[near furnace]

Roofs

[abstract warren]

Right

https://tenor.com/view/willem-dafoe-american-psycho-oh-obviously-donald-kimball-gif-10547554943860686477

[near furnace]

or some kind of dangerous pointy thing 😉

[abstract warren]

Should I mine around the silver vein and then break it?

[median ibex]

Yes

[abstract warren]

Under it also?

[tired path]

Is this actually faster than just popping The Elder power and break the vein manually after digging it out?

[abstract warren]

I think so

[abstract warren]

Cultist F'd me up

Wasn't ready for that shit

[steel mica]

Yes

[keen zenith]

Hey everyone, is there anyone here using Valheim Epic Loot?

[abstract warren]

#memes-and-clips message

[tired path]

Yeah, but how long did it take to dig that huge trench around it?

[abstract warren]

5min I think

[steel mica]

Its faster to do it by digging around it and popping it

Mining it manually "can" be fun but you risk attracting enemies

[abstract warren]

What if I use the animal whispers mead while boar is already in process of being tamed?

Still works?

[grand fractal]

Well you dig down once and then it pulls each hit you do down to that level and you only need one hit for a rather large area instead of the 4-5 you need for a single piece of silver

[tired path]

Makes sense

[tacit crystal]

It will halve the remaining taming time.

[stable crest]

LK:::::::::::::::

[abstract warren]

Just regular wooden roof?

[near furnace]

any roof helps

[abstract warren]

#screenshots message

Ugly but functional

[near furnace]

safe from most evil stuff

[median ibex]

I usually don't bother with taming boars too often; they can be tedious to take care of and if I don't have any tames, it encourages me to go hunting and foraging at the same time. I usually kill plenty enough boars 'n' deer on my raspberry runs, for example.

[steel mica]

Plus exploration

[abstract warren]

Yeah I had a good amount of boar meat but I ran out pretty soon once I started cook more stuff

[frozen fable]

Yeah I honestly have not bred a single boar in 1700 hours of play

Don't see the point

[abstract warren]

And I won't be going for raspberry runs anymore... Gonna grow em myself lol

[tacit crystal]

Non starred I agree. Starred however, I usually tame those.

[median ibex]

You can get a tonne of Leather Scraps and Deer Hide from Fuling Camps too.
You can usually coast by hunting and the odd bit of Leather Scraps you get from Muddy Scrap Piles till mid-game, and then Plains gives you the Ultra Secret Cheat Code™ of just razing Fuling Camps to the ground.

[abstract warren]

More time to move on exploring the next biomes

Plus it makes more sense being able to grow these things eventually

[median ibex]

You can't plant berries though.

[abstract warren]

Mods

I don't install too many, just some stuff that make sense

[candid basalt]

My meadows builds are always near raspberries and mushroom spawns

[steel mica]

Rarely do I use asksvin set

The buffs are really nice

[tacit crystal]

Ask set best set.

[steel mica]

The passive buff is nice

[steel mica]

Just not liking the look

I do like the pants

[tacit crystal]

I like the look of it too, it's cool looking light armor.

[steel mica]

Im trying to find a mistless mistlands boarding a plains

I believe I might be the first person to try and make a main base in the mistlands

[median ibex]

Alright chat, out of curiosity:
Which biome do you think has the highest difficulty spike upon progressing to it?

[steel mica]

Mistlands

One word

Actually 2 words

Mist

Mountainous

[icy trail]

I think we need to upgrade the Drakkar to a galley so we can power it with captured Grey Dwarves. Speed bonus from rowing based on the Stars of each Grey Dwarf.

[candid basalt]

Currently building a main Mistlands base

Need so much marble

[steel mica]

Destroy your fellow dvergr neighbor tower

[candid basalt]

I got two bones to destroy before I terrorize my neighbors again

[candid basalt]

I destroy wards with eitr

[dire night]

Hard to get back into Valhiem, requires friends to enjoy the game.. but you can’t really rely on them to play or they rely you to play.. and it’s a bit smaller in multiplayer compared to Ark so you can’t join a big server group.. also.. hard to put down after long hours gotta make that dream home

[thorn spear]

Hello Viking,
I would like to join a Valheim server on Xbox, in Pve a little boost.
If anyone has anything to offer me, thank you

[versed temple]

I use an axe.

[pliant hatch]

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

Someone in there might.

[thorn spear]

I tried to post on this show but without much success... thank you

[merry pebble]

Give it some time 🙂 not everyone is living in the same timezones so reactions can sometimes take few hours or even days.

[blissful raptor]

hey guys. any idea when and if we might hear some news about deep north or anything from our beloved devs. last update as november..

[paper marsh]

Personally I haven't heard anything. I'd imagine there might be some dev blogs soon though, maybe this month or next month

I wasn't following it super closely but it seemed like they did regular dev blogs before december, then took christmas break, so my logic would be that they'll do more

[blissful raptor]

almost 2 months of silence. I mean I'm not surprised, since this is their style. but still 😄 thanks for answering.

[paper marsh]

Is silence a bad thing?

[merry pebble]

The message announcing they will be taking break from devblog in December also said "We'll see you again properly in January!" 🙂 So i am quite hopefull we will get a WftD this month.

[tacit crystal]

Usually they have posted during/near the end of each month, December was on break because they had left to vacation already.

[blissful raptor]

usually a bad thing. but depends on how you see it ofc 🙂 anyways just wanted to checkin and see 🙂 thanks guys. 🙂

[ionic elk]

Honestly I think Swamp is one of the most abrupt difficulty spikes. Super frequent to find like 6 spawners in a pretty small area, so without realizing it you're in an endless fight, on top of the constant dampness and difficulty maneuvering the terrain, as a noob specifically. That's always where I see new players struggling a tonne

Everything in Mistlands is loud and can be heard well before it's seen, so you have a real easy time avoiding/ditching a fight

[paper marsh]

For me it depends a lot on if its the first time you're encountering that biome or if you're a veteran player

[burnt glen]

I went into the Mistlands before the nerfs (during the public test), that's the biggest spike I've experienced in the game, but now it's probably to swamp or ashlands.

[clear hazel]

After defeating Moder and heading to Plains, what do people generally aim for? With swamps it was exploring crypts to get scrap iron. With mountains it was looking for caverns and silver. I think it's too early for me to raid fuling villages without dying. I know that barley is the next farm resource, so should I try a village barley heist instead?

[foggy glacier]

You're looking for a Vegevisir to find Yagluth's altar. That's almost certainly going to be the hardest part.

You should definitely raid villages to grab barley and flax; find a nice site to make a base in plains and start farming.

[clear hazel]

Yeah but I'll certainly near nowhere ready to fight Yagluth. The outposts should have something.

[clear hazel]

I was thinking of a spot close to where I found the mistlands.

[foggy glacier]

raiding fuling villages is easy if you don't mind using a minor exploit. I || bring two stacks of stone and 20 wood, then sneak up on them and quick build a workbench, then raise ground 6x in a 2x3 pattern.|| That gives you a stable platform to pick everything off with a bow or sledge.

[clear hazel]

I did encounter an outpost and fuling village next to each other and thought I could take out the village with my bow but was concerned that I'd get surrounded by the village in the tower.

[foggy glacier]

It's not cheating, but it's definitely cheesy.

[clear hazel]

I know huntsman bow has reduced sound.

[foggy glacier]

Yeah, the berserkers could bring the outpost down beneath your feet.

[clear hazel]

Sounds like Caesar's strategy against the Gauls 😅

[foggy glacier]

hey, it works.

"Don't try it Fuling! I have the high ground."

[oak maple]

Bet they went to the North for holidays

[clear hazel]

Well I did that to fortify my meadows base from trolls.

[foggy glacier]

all my walls have an earthen base.
