Entire biomes, rebalancing, new armor and weaponry, countless bug fixes, it's all available on the wiki.

On average they release these updates every 5 months.

[odd finch]

they acknowledged the issue half a year ago, of something that it takes a random mod some hours to fix

its just silly

[fossil delta]

Fortunately IG gets to decide how to do their business, not a bunch of people on the internet who have no clue on how to run any business, let alone develop games. If I am wrong, show your credentials.

[chrome badge]

Yeah, you're just considering PC players and there's so much testing that goes into these things to ensure things like memory leaks don't occur, etc.

If you're comparing mods to what developers do for their games, you're off the rails.

[wet wolf]

mods have a lot less testing and bug fixing then full updates mods also normally only come with 1 or 2 things not a full biomes

[odd finch]

sure...?

[chrome badge]

I did because I was curious at the average rate of update release, this isn't the first time I've encountered people saying updates take forever, so I was curious myself.

[lunar sapphire]

I used to be a bee bot

[mellow shadow]

Subject, did I say something wrong? 👀

[lunar sapphire]

anything to do with the prior conversation will be deleted for now.

[mellow shadow]

I'm afraid of using the abyssal spear I crafted on a Wild Boar ★... What if my pig dies? 😭 🫳 💀 Have anyone tried using the spear in one of those?

[fossil delta]

The harpoon? Using it once or twice on the 2 stars won't kill them.

[mellow shadow]

Two stars? But mine has only 1 star...

[fossil delta]

The 2 stars are even rarer, but they exist.

Pretty sure you can hit a 1 star at least once without killing them.

I take it your making one of those elevated "factory" farms? If not, its best to just get them aggroed on you and have them chase you to where you want them.

Fishing off of swamps is my new favorite. Getting at least 2 fish out of every catch is much nicer.

Meaning two pieces.

Only negative is the time taken to clear the coast of leeches, etc... to make the fishing somewhat safe to do.

[mellow shadow]

Elevated? I'm planning of an enclosed boar pen, or an underground one, to protect them from aerial threats. 🤔

I trapped it in a hole, but I need to move it into my fort, and it’s reckless as a mule.

[spare patio]

someone give me the strength and sanity to take a save past the mountains biome

I've been entirely unable to go any further due to instant burnout

the soul crushing dread of trying to get the eggs to moder just instantly makes me wanna stop

[odd flare]

Yes and no. I thoroughly enjoy the planning and contemplation of importance losing static inventory slots

[odd flare]

I've fought 3 moders, and within 200ms of the shrine there have been eggs

Idk if I was lucky, but

[fossil delta]

OK, then, When you have your enclosed boar house done, just let it chase you inside it, and close it in.

[odd flare]

Build a small base in the meadows next to a shrine talking about them, they constantly spawn. Build a pen and lead them in

Build it big enough to run a circle and close the gate

[hasty citrus]

I had to sail to another mountain biome to get another egg. I’m ngl it might be rough

[tepid prawn]

eggs respawn in case you didnt know

[tepid prawn]

see my other comment, it takes a while but they respawn, if you're not in a hurry you only need one egg nearby

[hasty citrus]

i had no idea! how long does it take?

[tepid prawn]

8 real life hours sadly (480 minutes)

to me that doesn't matter, you can literally just put down a workbench and a chest near the nest, loot the egg, pop it in, and the timer starts haha

[hasty citrus]

why does the chest matter or the bench]

[tacit crystal]

Chest for storing the egg inside or workbench for creating spawn proof area which prevents items despawning inside the radius.

[steel mica]

You can ask some lads in #valheim-help for help

[steel mica]

Fun fact: I only knew about this on my second playthrough

[smoky saddle]

Breaking down mistland bridges is fun. All the black marble goes first then the iron gates in one go. Got about 2 and a half stacks of iron (still not enough)

[tacit pewter]

Hey 👋

[candid basalt]

👋

I don't want to go to work, I want to get more black marble

[tepid prawn]

I agree, even though its not black marble for me, at the moment its like copper and finewood, but been working for 14h now

[candid basalt]

Darn jobs keeping us from our viking jobs

[pulsar pike]

hi I'm new to this chat, but I play the game for many years now, I'm looking for a group to play with, anyone recruiting? I'm Portuguese by the way if there are any portuguese groups, either way english works just fine as well 🙂

[tacit crystal]

There is https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 where you can search for people to play with. 👍

[lofty whale]

yo i have just started valhiem any one tryna play together ?

[candid basalt]

Look directly above your post

[hasty citrus]

I’m just curious but do devs expect players to carry multiple weapon types to fight enemies who have different resistances? I’m just curious since I’ve never bothered since it always seemed difficult to remember each resistance

[lone rampart]

I carry multiple weapon types just for various scenarios, though I usually limit it to one melee and one ranged (and one axe, one pick, a hoe…)

You start getting a feel for it after a while

[candid basalt]

I carry a sword/buckler, a bow, a sledgehammer and a build hammer. Anything else I carry depends on what I’m doing.

And what biome

[prime plume]

is it doable to fight queen melee? or would magic be more effective, with the drawback of needing to be adhd bound in the arena?

[tacit crystal]

Both styles work, but I prefer melee personally.

[steel mica]

baby's first ash fang bow

This is my first time actually trying out the bow class

[smoky saddle]

It is doable. Ive seen someone defeat queen with Krom only

[steel mica]

Yes, fair warning it is incredibly hard

[steel mica]

The demolisher is a nice backup

When adds arrive

[prime plume]

not the first time it’ll take me 8 straight hours to beat a boss.

[steel mica]

Ah good luck

[vague siren]

How many hours would it take to play through the game, but not like speedrunning it

[lone rampart]

As many as you want

The game is super flexible and allows you to linger or press on at your own speed

[vague siren]

yeah fair

I haven't played since they added the mistland boss, so I am just wondering if I restart

[steady warren]

i need new german player with zero knowledge

[oblique zinc]

Took me about 1000 in-game days that's nice and easy while farming and building and sailing. You probably sleep for first 300 days or so and then no sleep, so... 🧮 455 hrs

[steel mica]

Just dont sleep at all

[thorny lake]

I just killed 2 normal bears in the span of 4 minutes and got a bear trophy from both of them

[lone rampart]

Praise RNGesus!

[steel mica]

I swear twitchers are the most cowardly creature in the game

They get hit one they run away

And then they return to harrass you with a skull

[candid basalt]

This angers me. I mean, oh awesome!

[tired path]

It took me 100 hours, personally. I was playing with a friend and we were both blind to it

[tacit crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-angry-kid-congrats-nice-happy-for-you-gif-16045257244806990422

[tough mulch]

I cant find a 2 star asksvin for the life of me, any advice?

[fossil delta]

They are only out at night time, like wolves, plus about as rare as 2 star wolves. So... persistence? Luck?

[tough mulch]

yea... ashlands at night is like zero visibility and getting jumped every corner isnt helping me kek. but I guess I'll have to persist, if still no luck I'll just ask the server if they have any spare 2 star asksvin eggs

[steel mica]

Luck and get ready to not die

My heart was beating so hard when I first found one lmao

[rare lichen]

Ive noticed that Mountains are in the Deep North in current generation
What do you all think? Will IG keep it that way or make it all Deep North?

[tough mulch]

I just hope they dont make it ashlands 2.0

[wet wolf]

they will probably have different generation for deep north

[tough mulch]

maybe giant ice glaciers like the spires and steeper mountains

[rare lichen]

Ashlands but slippery and white

[steel mica]

Aint no way a charred twitcher spawn camped me on my portal 💀

[tough mulch]

ever got spawn camped by a morgen and a valkerie

[tacit crystal]

It has been confirmed Deep North won't have as dense enemy spawn rate.

[rare lichen]

I think so too but its amusing thinking that Deep North have normal Mountain peaks xD xD

[steel mica]

Bloody amazing

[tacit crystal]

It will have more peaceful moments but encounters might be harder IIRC.

[tough mulch]

so your telling me I wont get jumped by 2 sea worms and an army of never ending enemies the moment I land? fck it I will live there the moment it comes out

[rare lichen]

Maybe youll find a little hut and then get abducted into a dungeon

[tacit crystal]

I might live there every night due to ||aurora borealis||.

[steel mica]

Ever got spawn camped by a swarm of 2** warriors?

[tacit crystal]

Unlucky with Mysterious location spawner?

[steel mica]

Yep

First playthrough

Had to throw a swarm of meteors at it

[tough mulch]

man asksvids really saved the ashlands experience for me(overpopulated them to the extreme balanced out the enemy spawn rate)

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, we have just gotten into Ashlands last time we played with my group, one of them has been dedicated mage since it became available. They have survived quite well with the help of bubble shielded skeletts, other has been melee atgeir/1h axe user.

[tough mulch]

bubble shield my beloved

[tacit crystal]

Looking forward for how they will like the Ashlands staves, they already crafted Fracturing staff and has been using it a lot.

[steel mica]

Ok were back in business

[tough mulch]

im using fracturing too and havent tried the flame one yet

[steel mica]

Made exploration easier aswell

Funnily enough asksvins arent considered as "heavy"

[tough mulch]

honestly aside from finding fortresses Im not sure what else im supposed to do

[steel mica]

So you can leash another one so you got a backup incase the other one dies

[tough mulch]

what does 'heavy' mean

[steel mica]

When using the abysal harpoon you can drag creatures

I've categorise them into my own calling, light and heavy

light like most creatures your stamina wont drain as much

[dense halo]

Anyone feel like giving me a hand killing the plains boss ngl been stuck for a solid couple hours just giving him a go

[tough mulch]

I see that makes sense

[steel mica]

heavy such as trolls, golems, and possibly morgen will drain your stamina

the thing is asksvin is considered a "light"

[tough mulch]

I just used bonfire

[steel mica]

Despite looking quite big

[tough mulch]

well I guess that might be too cheesy

[unreal jolt]

meanwhile ashlands being completely inconcievable to me bc i can't get past swamp

[tough mulch]

ahah, I dont like swamp either, but dayum does this game put alot of emphasis on Iron,

[steel mica]

You'll know when you get there

[tough mulch]

if you get there in one peice

[unreal jolt]

by "get past swamp" i mean "kill bonemass"

i am in full iron gear at this point and bro is still folding me

[steel mica]

Poison resistance?

[tough mulch]

I cheesed all my bosses so I can't relate

[unreal jolt]

sausages, black pudding, turnip stew and poison resist

popping a minor heal when i get below 50%

running iron buckler and mace

parrying inadvisable, bro still staggers me

[tough mulch]

ever tried running circles around him, most slow mobs are easy to deal with like that

[unreal jolt]

i do have to stop circling him to deal with the adds, otherwise they become too overwhelming

the blobs in particular are what consistently poison me throughout the whole fight

[tired path]

If you're using the poison resistance mead (as you should) then you can ignore blobs

[tough mulch]

try raising the ground with a hoe and flattening it, then run circles and put camp fires on him

[unreal jolt]

i usually use it a second or two after getting poisoned to conserve them

[tough mulch]

if the armor isnt doing much for you anyways, might as well get the root harnest headpeice for poison res

[rugged light]

hello who can share modpack hard ?

[pliant hatch]

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 might.

[lone rampart]

They won’t help once you’ve already been poisoned. They’re meant as a preventative measure, not an antidote

[unreal jolt]

oh

that explains a lot

that knowledge instantly won me the fight, no joke

poison duration went from a triple life sentence to like 6 seconds

[tired path]

Bear in mind that that's the same with Fire resistance, but not with Frost resistance

[sharp bluff]

resistances in general are overpowered tho
grab them whenever you need em

[steel mica]

A 2** asksvin spawned right infront of my eyes and despawned

Im sad

[merry pebble]

Ooof, must have been late night/morning

[steel mica]

No it was just getting night

I just got back to my base after doing charred fortress runs

[tacit crystal]

I have successfully tamed 2 star Asksvin in 4 different worlds.

[paper marsh]

That's 4 more worlds than me

[tacit crystal]

First time took 15ish nights to get one, second time took at the start of the 2nd night, third time was lucky find after raiding a fortress and quickly managed to dig hole next to that fortress and lured it there just in time, fourth time took maybe 3-4ish nights.

[elfin swallow]

I’m new to the game , what’s the best way to progress fast?

[steel mica]

time to restock and start huntin

[tacit crystal]

Listen to the bird advices.

[frozen fable]

By playing the game

[elfin swallow]

Arnt you a smart guy

[oblique zinc]

what's the goal ? to complete it asap ?

[silk token]

pay someone else to speedrun it for you

[split adder]

what do i do with all the resin sitting around my house

[silk token]

i think most people have giant chests full of resin. or if you get an obliterator you can turn it to coal

[static forge]

early game: fire arrows

[foggy glacier]

It depends on where you are in the game progression. The ideas above are fine for early game. You can make torches/sconces once you have some metal or you can use it for ||ooze bombs|| once you're in the third biome.

[split adder]

should i waste my time building a castle or something similar

[lone rampart]

If you enjoy it, it’s not a waste of time

[thorn citrus]

yes

worth

having a well protected base helps a lot during raids

and trying to mix both defense and style truly is a challenge and I love that

[split adder]

style

not something im very good at

[lone rampart]

It just takes practice

[split adder]

should i find an actually level place to build my base

[lone rampart]

My first house was so bad

[lone rampart]

It’s nice if you can find it. If not, you have a hoe!

[split adder]

thats gonna take a while though

and its gonna create a steep cliff

[lone rampart]

Yup.

You’re unlikely to find perfectly flat areas

[split adder]

im building on the side of a hill

what if i make a base in an ocean

[bold matrix]

can i get a mod or admin in chat please

im having a issue with one of the people in vc chats

[calm mist]

when deep north is coming ? 🙁

[split adder]

soon™

i dont think its been announced yet

[foggy glacier]

When it's ready. Most are optimistic for this year some time.

[foggy glacier]

try sending a DM to @dusky pivot

[foggy glacier]

lol

[steel mica]

Is there no spawn limit to greydwarf nest?

Can they just spawn infinitely unlike surtling geysers?

[lone rampart]

They can only spawn 3 at a time, but so long as the best remains you can farm them indefinitely

[steel mica]

I found one use for the blob grenades

For farms

I havent actually tried it but I thought about it

[elfin swallow]

No I said I’m new , not that I want it speedran , I asked how do I progress as I’ve just got to copper are you brain dead

[lone rampart]

What a lovely, polite newcomer.

[oblique zinc]

Sure got a lot of attitude for being new. Play the game, that's how. Or maybe learn how to communicate properly.

[odd flare]

well, i got my first death in hardcore no map no portals in a burial chamber

🙁

[lone rampart]

[odd flare]

this is just the beginning

I don't think I can ever go back to playing with a map, and not hardcore

[lone rampart]

I tried no map and I'm pretty sure I can't make it from one side of my village to the other without a map -_- Directional insanity, I has it.

[odd flare]

It took a few hours, and getting lost multiple times to figure out the yggdrasil. I also use noteable terrain to remember things

But main goal is play on the shore, and move in while pathing

[lone rampart]

I tried that and still got lost repeatedly 😅 I never even made a boat!

[paper marsh]

Following the shoreline is very powerful

Especially in mistlands

Wisp torches may be more useful in mistlands but I was progressing mistlands before finding yag

[oblique zinc]

Unless you hear gjall, then you should follow the sound for it will bring you joy

[split adder]

is the silver shield better for parrying than the iron buckler

[foggy glacier]

a lvl 2 silver shield is about the same as a max iron buckler, so yes. Eventually.

[paper marsh]

Barely yes. Not a noticeable difference imo

[mellow shadow]

I just read an article in spanish praising Valheim, and mentioning v1.0 and Playstation port could be released at any time this year. The anticipation!

[arctic badge]

the anticipation is only building more and more since the devs have been silent. Im so excited for dn

[mellow shadow]

It might sound silly, but the things I'm waiting for the most are the Steam achievements, the cards, and hopefully a legendary profile theme, those who cost 10,000 Shop Pts. 🫳 💰

With the achievements I'll finally submerge into Immersive Mode. No map, no teleports.

[arctic badge]

I would gladly throw down that many points for a good looking pfp banner im ngl

[nocturne wolf]

It looks better too

[arctic badge]

This sounds like a fire plan lmao

[split adder]

are oak trees the best trees to get wood

[mellow shadow]

Finewood

[split adder]

are beeches better for normal

[mellow shadow]

Yes, also very easy to chop and cause a chainreaction

[split adder]

how rude my twig threw a rock at me

[mellow shadow]

I felt sad to see twig is very weak to silver sword damage

I killed it 😭 👌

But rebuilt it afterwards 🫂

[split adder]

oh rip

maybe i should appreciate him more

[mellow shadow]

Oh, and if you build the Obliterator, remember it has a lever you need to use. I didn't until see it until +100 days later 😂 💀

[raven dagger]

I love this game, but I have a hard time handling more than one form of challenge, XD

For instance, right now I’m focusing on getting better at Combat, so I’m leaving that alone.

Resource gathering and portal restrictions are eased though.

Next, I might do a run where Combat is trivialized, but Resource Gathering is crippled and I can’t use Portals!

[lunar lantern]

Has anyone ever wondered why we find Cloudberries in the Field biome, despite them growing in peatlands and marshes (Swamps) in the real world?

Also, it would be nice if blueberries and raspberries were as clustered together as cloudberries. It's easier to stockpile the Plains-tier berry than the Dark Forest-tier berry.

[raven dagger]

Because the Developers aren’t all that obsessive about perfect accuracy, probably.

[lunar lantern]

Boo! It's our most holy of berries! 😭
||I had to use a raspberry, cos the cloudberry didn't get an emoji||

[raven dagger]

I really wish we could plant berry bushes. 🙁

[feral grove]

The realm of Valheim isn't Earth, so I don't think it matters much what grows where. They could have just invented fictional berries if they wanted to.

[light moat]

#suggestions message
🙏

[lunar lantern]

Ooh, I wonder what the next fruit might be, then.
Though, since the next biome is the Actic I guess it would just be a snowball.

[raven dagger]

I thought I’d heard that was something they’d already decided against?

[light moat]

I would like some sort of fruit tree 🤔

[light moat]

I don’t if anything is necessarily set in stone, but it’s a pretty common topic yeah. Personally I think if done right, a nice balance could be found.

[raven dagger]

Maybe player-planted berry bushes could have a doubled replenish timer…

I’d settle for tripled!

[copper karma]

Just try a mod out that does it.

[raven dagger]

I play on Steamdeck… Modding would be a nightmare.

[light moat]

Plant everything mod has plantable berries, yeah. They’re amazing tools for decorative landscaping.

Modding isn’t possible for console players as well, so that’s something to consider.

[raven dagger]

Terraria has TModder…

…VModder?

[somber wing]

oo

[fossil delta]

Cloudberries seems to be a nick name for several real berries, even a variety found in high hills/low mountain areas. Its even a nickname for a jar of berry jam I found in my cupboard.

[split adder]

TModLOADER

very very different

[oblique zinc]

Mod

[raven dagger]

If you read the next few messages, you’d see that Steamdeck makes Modding very difficult.

[oblique zinc]

I see, that is unfortunate.

[light moat]

And also not possible for consoles 🙁

[oblique zinc]

Time to get MSI Claw 8 AI+ ?

[oblique zinc]

Here's an idea. Log in on pc with mod. Plant bunch of bushes. Save. Log out. Log in on the deck .... profit 📈

[raven dagger]

Having to do convoluted workarounds kinda impacts the fun of the game

I’d rather things were possible natively, personally.

[chrome badge]

Have you discovered chain portal farming?

[raven dagger]

Yeah, of course. I’m just saying, if it’s possible to have copious amounts of berries anyway, why not let us farm them, with effort?

[chrome badge]

Oh, because they're an excellent reason to return to previous biomes and forage.

[raven dagger]

Okay, but… do we need a reason to backtrack?

Like, why do they want us to, exactly?

[tough mulch]

heh, swamp and Iron hehe

[chrome badge]

Absolutely, biomes shouldn't just become useless and irrelevant once we progress.

[fossil delta]

I seem to recall devs saying that is why they won't let us plant the berries, thistle and mushrooms. To get us to explore.

[tough mulch]

corewood is enough reason for me to go to DF and Iron for swamp, Tar in the plains, berries is not any of the reasons

[raven dagger]

Alright, but I’d rather their relevance stay because of new recipes, instead of saying, ‘Hey! Go refill your stash of these!’

[chrome badge]

You don't use enough meads then 👀

[tough mulch]

I live off of the blood bubble

[fossil delta]

We only need to refill them for a finite period of the game, not the entire play through.

[chrome badge]

Not using Ratatosk?

[raven dagger]

Give us Alloys, or constructions that need old metals!

Give us new food recipes that need Bear Meat combined with later meats!

Give us more Surtling Core uses! If the forge and charcoal furnace need them, why not other later constructs?

[tough mulch]

Ratatosk is very tempting indeed but im lazy

[chrome badge]

But, there's recipes that stay relevant, Tasty Mead, Ratatosk Mead, Health Mead, etc.

[tough mulch]

yeah yeah, put iron to rest already

[raven dagger]

Iron is annoying, yes.

[fossil delta]

Iron is needed across several biomes, even if not for building.

[tough mulch]

for health meads wouldnt re-raiding infested mines be better for higher lvl mead instead of low lvl one

[oblique zinc]

you are literally describing existing mods ... if every mod was in vanilla ...

[chrome badge]

Sure, but far more dangerous

[tough mulch]

I do find it more fun than running around the whole map

[raven dagger]

Just because a mod does it, doesn’t mean vanilla shouldn’t.

Consoles can’t mod, remember?

[split adder]

anyone got good tips for finding silver veins

[chrome badge]

You don't need to, just mark large patches, come back later to setup a portal chain farm, portal to one farm, gather 10+, travel to next farm, and so on until the final portal takes you home.

[fossil delta]

Can consoles use dev commands?

[hallow gyro]

the wishbone?

[oblique zinc]

run around mountains

[tough mulch]

• stagbreaker, great ore finding combo

[chrome badge]

Stagbreaker takes twice as long in my experience.

[tough mulch]

honestly... silver is... meh

[tough mulch]

no no you get the wishbone for general area and the stagbreaker for pinpoint

[hallow gyro]

good specifically for undead enemies but tapers like other metals

[raven dagger]

I’m always weirded out by games placing Silver and Gold above Iron, tier-wise

[chrome badge]

The audio is pretty clear for me, I've never needed it.

[split adder]

should i go to the top of the mountain or should i stay in the middle regions

[fossil delta]

You can pin point with wishbone. thats why the pulse increases.

[hallow gyro]

its usually anywhere on the mountain, similar to copper in black forest

[tough mulch]

honestly, I was making random pittraps in the mountains for wolfs and I keep hitting silver viens, they are so easy to find for some reason

[fossil delta]

Above when you find obsidian. Its never lower than obsidian.

[oblique zinc]

higher atomic mass .. duh doi

[tough mulch]

to add to that, if golems spawn expect silver in that area

[hallow gyro]

But the silver veins are easier to dig out and detach entirely instead of mining the entire structure

oh similarily, you can find mud clumps for scrap iron with the wishbone on regular swamp land too.

[tough mulch]

I recommend digging around them atleast once so you know what they look like, they shaped kinda wierd

[fossil delta]

Yeah, kind of like a Y.

[split adder]

i fell off the side of the mountain, fell about halfway from the top and only took 100 damage
is fall damage capped or something

[fossil delta]

Yes, at 100

[hallow gyro]

I think it's tapered

[split adder]

good to know

[hallow gyro]

[raven dagger]

I always hear certain phrases in Ryan George’s voice.

This is one of them.

[open bolt]

I've been playing valheim for a couple years, with several playthroughs, and I think I had never seen an iron gate inside a sunken crypt

I just found one

I thought I could break it to have free iron. It didn't drop any iron u.u betrayals

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I've never gotten one from them either.

[craggy fulcrum]

Does anyone have a world they are starting that i can join? Im looking for a group of people to play the game with. all my buddies quit mid way and never want to finish

[open bolt]

I've never seen a Swamp with this many spawners

🤦‍♀️

[open bolt]

Everytime this character is carrying iron at night, Odin appears 😂👀

[keen yoke]

I did a playthrough on this game when it first game out, before the mistlands and everything afterwards. Has the lag issue been fixed when playing as a group in a boss fight? I'd like to get back into the game and do a fresh run to experience all the new content, and it would be nice to play with other people, but can the game support it?

[craggy fulcrum]

from what ive seen yes very much so

[fossil delta]

They have addressed pretty much all the known issues over the years. Any lag you have on a server now is probably because of the server, or someone has a lower end system in the group.

[sage dust]

Hello dears , did i do something dumb or is the following valid ? Okay so i had played valheim when it launched and reached iron and defeated the bone blob boss got the wolf cape and thats all i remember however recently i wanted to play it with my friend so i log on and i remember absolutely nothing about this game 🥲 so i decided to repeat it but now its harder than i remember and way more stuff , and now played through 12hrs and im stuck on the tree boss since he is summoning 1star trolls that one shot me

[fossil delta]

A fair amount has been added. There are now 2 more biomes and they are working on the final biome and wrapping up Valheim.

Plus some new creatures across several biomes.

As for the troll, those are not summoned. Thats just a random spawn.

As for difficulty, if you left it on standard in the new world modifiers, its about the same as it has ever been.

[sage dust]

Oh yeah i saw patch notes that show a new fire biome and do u have any idea when that update would come?

[sage dust]

Ohh i see so the 2 1star trolls are there already and the tree boss calls to them?

[sage dust]

Yep same modifiers just created a new world and a new character

Will try to lure the troll and kill it then proceed with the boss , thanks bro

[tacit crystal]

Ashlands has been added in late Spring/early Summer in 2024.

[dense rock]

anyone having problems this morning with connection issues in party play?

[fossil delta]

More like the noise of combat draws them.

[fleet citrus]

No

[sage dust]

alright thanks bros

[steel mica]

Walking and running makes noise aswell

Ashlands is like the only biome were I fully take advantage of sneaking

Especially on your first landing

You do not wanna mess with a morgen or valkyrie pre-ashlands

[open bolt]

Geysers are amazing to kill Abominations 👌🔥

[steel mica]

Free even

Just try not to get hit lol

[open bolt]

I had never killed one in a geyser. but today one appeared as I was preparing the geyser farm and I was like 🤔🤔🤔 "I wonder how fast it will die"

[open bolt]

yes XD

but they die so fast that i think they couldn't actually kill me. and even if I fail a dodge, one hit doesn't kill me,

[steel mica]

I think the body slam attack of the abomination can potentially one shot a player with post-blackforest gear

The poison is nasty

[open bolt]

I see 🤔 I am currently wearing the full Iron armour upgraded to lvl3

[merry pebble]

Wouldnt be surprised if it could, but i still like that one the most when killing abominations since its quite telegraphed/easy to roll or parry 🙂

[steel mica]

Once you get your hands on a iron buckler the swamps is practically free

[merry pebble]

Yep 😄

[nocturne wolf]

Banded shield looks better though

[open bolt]

I never used buckler or tower shield. only normal shield. 🤔
Is there a good build for each shield?

I guess if I played with more people, some people could be more tanks and others damage, but playing alone I always feel like I need a more balanced or standard build

[nocturne wolf]

If you're good at consistently parrying a buckler is strongest, especially now that the stamina cost means there's zero punishment for parrying instead of blocking

but the banded shield still parries well enough so I'm ok with using it

[fleet citrus]

Hi

[candid basalt]

And looks better 😛

NVM I see you said that already

[coral kindle]

I need the game so bad on ps5🥲

[elder viper]

Ello, do we have any idea when update comes out or there no info ab it yet?

[tacit crystal]

No idea, no timeline for the update has been announced yet.

[elder viper]

thank you! Hope it comes this year 😄

[median ibex]

So, I never figured out the answer to this:
What happens if a Raid occurs at your base, but the entire radius is spawn proofed?

[nocturne wolf]

The raid will start and end normally, just with no enemies spawning

[median ibex]

Cheers

[terse wagon]

Gyser are good but I like portable method using the bonfire, as it takes 1 surtling core and 5x if each wood type, kills fast actually

[median ibex]

So making a big ass wall and spawn proofing the insides is worth my time then

[nocturne wolf]

but then theres nothing to fight

[silk token]

or just turn raids off and make a neat looking base

[median ibex]

I live in the Plains, if I wish to fight, I simply walk outside of the wall.

[median ibex]

I like overcoming puzzles and problems though.
I like creating a solution rather than turning off the puzzle.

(Except in the case of Portal Items; I've only so much time in a day and only so much mental energy, so I'd rather not spend 70% of my playtime ferrying metals on a Longship)

[terse wagon]

Best invincible wall is to use raise terrain with the HOE, requires stone but this very easy to obtain

[silk token]

that’s cool too, if you make an actual destructible wall, maybe a death funnel things can come in. I just cringe at the invincible terrain walls.

[median ibex]

But that's boring.
I'd rather make something that looks good, but is somewhat easily repaired.
Like pallisades, whether with stake walls, or what's available upon reaching the Mistlands.

[terse wagon]

Yeah, your world, your choice. Just giving tips

[median ibex]

I appreciate it, simply returning dialogue

I've a wall idea in mind; creating a perimeter of stone bricks, but leaving it 1 high, and then putting backwards facing stake walls on the front, and then forward facing stake walls on top to create a layered pallisade sorta look.

[terse wagon]

Well, if you like beatification, the earliest defense you can craft is the marble walls. Stronger than stone and it's great looking. Just goto viaducts and destroy them you can get 3-4 stacks of marble easily, use portal to transfer

[silk token]

i just grab my helmet run out and fight normally, but my favorite early defense if im playing hard or worse is a narrow choke with stakes and beehives lol, it’s enough to slow and soften and buy time if i’m caught unprepared, and then im waiting with my hatchet when they get to me

[median ibex]

Yeeaahh, but I'm living in the Plains and would like to have a good ol' big wall as insurance on the chance a Lox becomes spooked and decides to come a' stompin'.
I want time to simply react and kill a threat to the structural integrity of my buildings since I really like to make them look good.

[silk token]

heh, plains bases are scary cuz skeetos too, gotta be always aware of your tummy. well ive never had problems with just normal stone walls against things. ive had a few plains bases and lox dont kill stone walls that fast you can just repair from inside

[steel mica]

iirc stone and b marble have the same durability

With the exception of grausten

B marble on the other hand has immunity to certain elements

[terse wagon]

Black marble is resistant to elemental damage, greatest example is eitr, can be useful when you got specific raids

Immune to frost, fire, poison, spirit etc etc so better for majority of raids

[sage dust]

I just killed the elder with bear head and bear necklace and troll trousers lv3 and a maxed fine bow , so now I ditch the bear armour for Iron or what to unlock first when I get some Iron?

[terse wagon]

Depending on your play style, I used bear armor and claws all the way until silver age. I used iron for silver weapon like the silver sword, got forge/kitchen upgrades and the iron pickaxe

Made sure to craft a fenring armor set for Yagluth

First thing to unlock is the iron pickaxe for silver

[sage dust]

okay brother so iron pick max out the bear armour and what to use in order to fight bonemass?

[terse wagon]

I skip the first 3 bosses and go straight for moder, from there I continue the bosses up until fader

I have over 2k playing hours, just I play this way faster / deeper challenges.

Sometimes I'll establish a mistlands base first once I get a karve to be closer to Ashland's

I used to raid mountains for iron because of the doors, now I just farm mistlands Viaducts, much more productive and challenging

[tough mulch]

is the Iron yield good?

[steel mica]

No sadly

[tough mulch]

any strat that helps me find Iron is always welcome

[terse wagon]

Yes from large viaducts you can get 2-3 stacks

[tough mulch]

whats viaducts btw

all I know ancient armor

[steel mica]

The swamps and mistlands are your best bet

[terse wagon]

Make sure to build wood floors to capture all drops

[steel mica]

You can get iron from the doors in the frost caves but not worth it

[terse wagon]

Viaducts are what you guys know as bridges in the mistlands

[steel mica]

just 1 piece

[tough mulch]

ohhh Ive seen those before

[steel mica]

I just call em bridges because... its literally is a bridge

[tough mulch]

all I thought was "wow, black marble, its kinda sht"

[terse wagon]

Viaducts spawn along the island area along costs, easy to obtain

[tough mulch]

didn't know it had Iron in them

[terse wagon]

Yep, you can also get copper ore from them too

[tough mulch]

so stone cutter on hand to dismantle works on them?

[steel mica]

Its much easier when you get to the ashlands

You'll have a structure which will make it 100x faster

to gather back to your base

[tough mulch]

battering ram?

[steel mica]

No the stone portal silly

[tough mulch]

oh, I got that before the mistlands

[terse wagon]

When you first play, go straight for the bronze axe, then get karve, go straight to mistlands, use bronze axe to destroy the first viaduct, the iron bars will unlock the stonecutter for easy deconstruct for the rest of the viaducts

[steel mica]

I rushed mistlands to get krom lol

I was iron age

[tough mulch]

lol I rushed ashlands to get stone portals

[terse wagon]

Nothing wrong with that either

[tough mulch]

spire hopping and logging in and logging out to reset heat, find putrid pit pray for cores and get out

[steel mica]

Grausten...

[terse wagon]

Yeah that works too

[steel mica]

Dont forget grausten

[tough mulch]

10/10, never again. I'll just change world modifiers next time

[tough mulch]

spires at the very edges of the biomes are usually safe enough to farm

[terse wagon]

I always play with the fire modifier because this is the fastest way to get coal, just build wood piles and use HOE or pickaxe to slightly modify yhe terrain so a campfire goes under it, you can turn 10+ piles of wood into several stacks of coal in less effort

[tough mulch]

that works? I've always used fire arrows, campfire looks more consistent

[terse wagon]

Yes campfire is the easiest solution, because you can repair campfire as it gets damaged to burn them all

[sage dust]

can you please like skim what I should do if you dont mind? in order to get to silver without fighting , and exuse my ignorance what is grausten and viaducts

[tough mulch]

I wonder if I can just set up a dedicated wood burner with Iron floors inbetween the wood and maybe a hearth

[tough mulch]

silver without fighting? stagbreaker, it does take a long time to find some though, but the amount is usually big enough for an upgrade

[terse wagon]

Grausten us like stone but Ashland's biome, it's more durable 1000 vs 3000 durability

[tough mulch]

Im still a bit sad that our gausten structures dont look as good as the randomly generated gaustens structures in ashlands

[terse wagon]

Yes, use stagbreaker, also silver likes to spawn near log cabins, and eggs. It requires a higher altitude. Sometimes you can get lucky to find silver sticking out of the terrain

[tough mulch]

I fell off a mountain once and broke my knees on a silver vien just jutting out the edges

[terse wagon]

When dealing with silver, make sure to use a different cart for each silver veins, then throw the cart off the mountain, best to find a large mountain establish a base solely for silver production for wolf/silver armor

[tough mulch]

I have a tip for golems, dont fight them, shove them in a hole and cover it with floors, that way they dont respawn

and when enemies get on top of them they aggro to the golem and ignore you, they just stand on top of it since they dont have attacks that can break floors nor can they see the golem to initiate attacks

[terse wagon]

Yep, I use the harpoon in small holes, use golems for defense

[tough mulch]

heh, the real killers are the wolves, workbench cheese them for the best results

[terse wagon]

I also round up a lot of golems that I can find and kite them to goblin settlements, sometimes you can find 3 golems in one mountain if it's big enough, if that same island has a goblin village

[tough mulch]

I've heard of using tar pits but golems for goblin camps is a first

[terse wagon]

Tar pits are good too

[tough mulch]

eheh I hate growths with passion

[modern copper]

so like how hard is queen?

[terse wagon]

Yes they are nasty

[tough mulch]

as a cheeser of bosses, pretty cheesable

[terse wagon]

It's not hard if you range her. But if you want a challenge you can burn her with bonfires lol

[modern copper]

ok cool. so bows? or do i need spells too

[nocturne wolf]

Krom and mistwalker can work well

[terse wagon]

Yeah just craft a bunch of fire arrows as she's weak toward that

[sage dust]

okay so My main objective now is to make a carve go to the mistlands and find the viaducts breakthem get Iron and go back to base? or setup base in mistlands ? make the iron pick and I made the stagbreaker btw just now and then head to mountains ? also what to expect in the mistalnds what will kill me and what to avoid

[tough mulch]

if there was once trick I wish I new before my queen fight it was that I coult put wisp torches all over the place

[nocturne wolf]

Fire arrows are too weak by that point

[terse wagon]

Honestly that's the only time I use fire arrows is on the moder

[nocturne wolf]

Obsidian is better

[terse wagon]

Oh you meant queen, not moder my bad

For queen, I use etir, kite her around with fire staff

[modern copper]

ahh ok

[terse wagon]

Make sure to have feather cape Incase you need to jump far off the stairs for kitng, I basically have her go back and forth from each stair case

[tough mulch]

bright materials for wisp torches, it helps alot with visibility, trust

reminds me I need to hatch a ton of asksvin in the queen lair, ez meat farm

[terse wagon]

Oh, that could work if you want to cheese it

[tough mulch]

he would have to go to ashlands first thought lol

ashlands is.... quite the experience

[terse wagon]

Because you can build a campfire near the entrance

Plot down like star Askavin eggs

[silk token]

the hard part about queen is her summons. best way to beat her is with as many bile bombs as you can craft. she resists pierce so if you have the timing and good health food for mistakes the best dps is dodge and sword secondary. or seriously just 3 health food and blackmetal tower shield blocks everything she does. if you don’t have melee the fight is gonna take a long long time.

[modern copper]

she resists pierce? the brilliant google says use needle arrows.

[tough mulch]

might be the google ai response, last time it told me to find a dvgr base to make a battering ram

[terse wagon]

Yes she's resistance to pierce

[silk token]

this is why nobody should ever trust anything they see in a google search or AI search.

[modern copper]

tis why im asking here 😉

[terse wagon]

No need for battering ram, use a cart reverse it and back out up and forth to destroy anything you want without the need if dealing with aggro. Destroy the ward first

[silk token]

i think honestly the cheesiest way to cheese her is same as all bosses, eat 3 health foods and hold block.

[terse wagon]

Yes, if you prefer the melee style

[tough mulch]

or hold a hammer and cheese her by the entrance

[silk token]

why even play the game

[winter jungle]

if i left eggs in a dungeons with campfire will they grow on there own ?

or do i have to be near them

[foggy glacier]

They will grow on their own. You’ll need to be nearby for breeding though.

[sage dust]

if I logout while in a boat will I drown when I log back on or everything stays the same ( I stay in the boat)?

[nocturne wolf]

You will stay on the boat

[sage dust]

deal thanks, I made a karve ( defeated the elder an hr ago ) and I am sailing for the mistlands idk if its a death call or not and I took with me resources to make a portal to tp back to my base

[nocturne wolf]

even if you don't, they can't move without players on them

[smoky saddle]

Question about cheats, if I start a new character and a new world and activate cheats in it, will it only activate the cheats for only that world?

[odd flare]

Finally caught back up to where I was before I died, and further. About to enter the bronze age on this no map hardcore run, and luckily my cart track is nice and short to a TRIPLE spawn of copper.

[stuck juniper]

Realistically, how much sap am I going to need to get?

[smoky saddle]

Google says about 40+ for initial upgrades

[stuck juniper]

So, 406 (and counting) is a bit overkill

[steel mica]

Would have been funny if they continue moving

[nocturne wolf]

jumping off is a great way of stopping a boat

[smoky saddle]

Thats if you want to upgrade stuff to max level.

Each root can harvest about 40 before it goes dry

Sap extractors generate 1 sap every 65 seconds, for 40, thats 43 minutes of in game time.

So x10 is about 7 hours, but you will shorten that if you have more extractors

[frozen fable]

After playing through Ashlands, I'm glad that Deep North will be a lot calmer, I think the constant barrage of enemies in Ashlands is a bit too much

[split adder]

is it worth getting needle arrows for the mountain

[fossil delta]

I think obsidian arrows work just fine.

[pliant hatch]

If you want to take the risk of dealing with a higher level foe, go ahead. But as said, obsidian arrows work just as fine. Even wooden arrows do.

[oblique zinc]

Arrows are trivial, it's a bow skill. You can kill drakes with wooden arrows. Use arrows that you have in abundance.

[lone rampart]

I usually keep flint arrows well into plains/mistlands just because I find so many in the black forest

[frozen fable]

Draugr bow with poison arrows for drakes

[paper marsh]

Some people like cheese

[pliant hatch]

Might as well use obsidian, as the poison doesn't stack.

So instead of poison arrows, might as well use fire arrows, as that does stack. And you're doing two effects at the same time.

[leaden hatch]

Have we gotten any dev opinions on touching up on Spear and Sledgehammer movesets? For spears to act more like spears in melee and Sledgehammers getting a simpler combo with the big downsmash on special.

[pliant hatch]

I assume if they had in mind to change that, they'd been doing that with the CtA update.
Unless it would mean they had to do a rebuild of the entire engine, which would make things more complicated as they are now.

[thorn citrus]

yeah with the cta update already out and the deep north update and the 1.0 coming (hoepfully) soon, you can assume the combat system will stay like that seemingly forever

[smoky saddle]

I did a whole 6 minute trek to an infested mine and got swarmed by about 8 seekers. Died ☹️

[pliant hatch]

I hope you had a portal up at the entrance?
Otherwise the body recovery might become a tedious journey.

[smoky saddle]

Nope lol I didnt even get close to the entrance before I got attacked

[pliant hatch]

In that case I hope you have a portal close to your entry point, so that journey is reduced to 6 minutes.

[smoky saddle]

My brother managed to set one down not far from it so ive got the stuff back. Went back through to prep for the attack on the hateful eight

[terse wagon]

I farmed enough for a full stack, that should do. I got lucky with guck trees spawning a lot near each other in my swamp

[tacit crystal]

I think they asked about the sap from yggdrasil roots, not guck.

[paper marsh]

Guck isn’t used for much is it? Or maybe I just don’t use the recipes it’s used for

[fossil delta]

I think its mostly for Draugr Fang.

Then maybe the iron torches.

[paper marsh]

Think I use it for root armor but that’s it for me

I’m guessing most use it for fang tho yeah

[fossil delta]

Root Amor uses guck? I know we get plenty of it from Abominations.

[paper marsh]

Actually just checked, it doesn’t

I feel like I use guck for like one thing, but not sure what

[fossil delta]

I think its just Fang, iron torches, and banners.

[meager fossil]

Did they make it easier to kill deer with the first bow? I dont remember being able to kill them in 1 shot before

Not complaining about it, its actually very nice 😄

[tacit crystal]

Also green fireworks.

[tacit crystal]

When they are not alerted (red ! mark) they take backstab damage from your shots/attacks.

[meager fossil]

But is that somewhat recent? I THINK I remember last time I started over, I was always unable to 1 hit them even when they werent alerted

Then again, I play a lot of survival games so I might fix some up

[tacit crystal]

Backstab mechanic has always been there.

[meager fossil]

Ah, I may be fixing some games up then hehe

[split adder]

what level of bow would i need to 2 shot a drake

[next sundial]

Hi All. I havent played in a few years. Have there been any QoL updates in terms of inventory/container management?

[fossil delta]

Nope.

[smoky saddle]

Lol

[silk token]

not very high, i almost 1-shot them with a spear that's like ~50-60 damage

[next sundial]

Thanks for the heads up! 😭

[split adder]

spears do exist dont they

[fossil delta]

They do.

[silk token]

yup. i actualy go into mountains with 2 spears cuz i can kill a drake in 1 pass by quickly throwign 2 spaers

[fossil delta]

I'd hate trying to do spear recovery in the mountains.

[silk token]

i've been spearing since launch i dont really miss anymore

[fossil delta]

Practice does make perfect, or at least get you closer to perfection.

[split adder]

are mountains normally just steep cliffs or are there sometimes flat regions on them

[silk token]

i wouldnt call them flat, but they're not just sheer walls once you're up there

also what the heck? i just mined a flamemetal spire completely bare and it never sank. was there a ninja change i missed?

[tough mulch]

Bro I thought it was just me, I watched a how to farm flametal tutorial and was practicing in creative and non of them sank

[split adder]

how do i know what height im at on a mountain

[tough mulch]

Well, there is only one mark I know which everyone calls the obsidian hieght

Slightly above that is the silver spawning hieght

But if you want more accuracy, mods. I dont know if there are console commands for hieght coordinates

[next sundial]

does bare fisted ever get strong enough to be... maybe not viable, but fun?

[oblique zinc]

yes

[tough mulch]

Parry is strong with fist if i remwmber right

[silk token]

you mean fist weapons?? fists start out hella OP with bear claws, and vile claws are op too, if anything they fall off slilghtly

[tough mulch]

Pair it up with the blood bubble to bypass any armor restriction to parrying and it should work?

[next sundial]

I havent played in a long time. I was thinking just bare fisted fighting. I didnt know fist weapons was a thing

[silk token]

ho boy are you in for a treat then

[next sundial]

i just started playing again, punched something, and saw a fist skill up

The last time i played, mistlands were flat empty

[silk token]

wow. then it's a whole new world for you. dont watch any youtubes just be surprised!

[grand loom]

any idea how can i join a fresh server? i have not play in over 2 years

[next sundial]

thats the plan! thanks

[meager fossil]

Yeah the game has improved massively lately

You have a lot to look forward to!

[grand loom]

how can i join some fresh active server? I looked in lfg and nothing there seemed to espond to me

[fossil delta]

Only #1024264966712340510

[grand loom]

yeah, no one is answering

[fossil delta]

How long you been trying? They can take hours.

[grand loom]

less than an hour

i understand the delay, is ok. thanks/

[fossil delta]

Seems like most, if not all servers are like mine was when I ran one. A one person show. We eat, sleep, etc... so can take a long time to respond to inquiries.

[grand loom]

makes sense

thanks

[inner nimbus]

Do mobs attack crops?

Made a mistlands farm, don't want seekers flying in to kill it all

[nocturne wolf]

Seekers won’t start flying if they haven’t already seen something to attack

[inner nimbus]

Perfect, thanks

Not even killed yagluth yet and we've got Jotun puffs and Magecap being farmed

[little swift]

hello, are there any plans about inventory space in the next update? Me and probably many other people would love more slots or special slots for armor food trinkets and megingjord

[split adder]

this game just trolled me
i thought i found a silver vein but it was just a skeleton

[little swift]

carry weight is alright but slots limit players alot, especially in the late game with so much stuff in the inventory

[silk token]

Me entering Ashlands for the 5th time: "I don't know why I or anyone else thinks this biome is that hard."
(Morgen spawns 10 meters from a 2nd morgen as a Valkyrie aggros next to the starrerd warriors and asksvin)
Ah. Right. Now I remember.

[split adder]

is the frostner good

[smoky saddle]

Yes

Slows enemies, good damage. Ive heatd its a good choice in ashlands too because enemies there dont like frost

[little swift]

depends, with the new adrenaline system fast weapons benefit more from it

[modern copper]

i like frostner, kinda satisfying to me. bonk things 🙂 i dont care for porcupine as much

[little swift]

mistwalker on top

[silk token]

i dont like frostner cuz the knockback and slow makes it so hard to land more than 1 swing of the combo makes fights take forever

[fossil delta]

I prefer Porcupine, but Frostner is a good weapon. Probably more so for people who have not "mastered" combat in Valheim yet.

Even so, I still make it and use it. Just not as much as I use Porcupine.

Besides, I soon switch to the BM sword.

[modern copper]

im tryin to get used to ember staff or w/e its called

[fossil delta]

Took a while for me.

[split adder]

whats a good way to get a bunch of gold and valuables

[fossil delta]

Of course, I have not used magic since that play through, so I'd probably have to learn all over again, if I were to give it another go.

[modern copper]

nobrr i suppose that kinda depends on the progress you've made, like what zone u in?

[fossil delta]

Crypts, caves, random chests throughout the black forest, etc...

[tacit crystal]

Dungeons. Sunken crypts have lots of valuables at the start.

Infested mines and fortresses in late game has even more gold.

[fossil delta]

The swamp crypts can get kind of crazy with loot.

Plus there are various locations you dig up.

Like the boat shaped stone formations in the meadows.

[tacit crystal]

Meat piles inside frost caves can also yield gold or even silver necklaces.

[fossil delta]

Yep. Troll caves are also usually pretty good.

[modern copper]

my friend that plays on this server with me isnt on... idk what i should farm while i wait lol. we havent attacked queen yet but we have her location unlocked

[split adder]

i think i just found the official world record for "saddest sunken crypt"

[fossil delta]

Doubt it.

A number of us have found swamp crypts with nothing in them.

[split adder]

oh

mine is close enough i guess

it had 3 scrap piles

[fossil delta]

Except mushrooms. I think they had at least mushrooms. 😄

[fossil delta]

You can find them, rarely, with no piles. All 3 pathways blocked.

Used to be no big deal, but its been ages since I have seen a swamp with over 20 crypts. Doing good to find 10, now.

I wanted to throw a party when I found 18 the other day.

[split adder]

apparently in the seed "WorstSeed" theres a swamp with 35 crypts

is it dumb to take my cart into the mountain

[nocturne wolf]

They’re good for bringing items down but not up

[slow seal]

I've seen that they do. Just make a decent area to defend. Ended up surrounding my mistland farm with double stone walls. Does help yet still have to pull them away from the crops.

[inner nimbus]

I raised the ground around mine out of view

[smoky saddle]

Can I raise the ground underneath a maypole without it breaking?

[odd flare]

Hardcore no portals no map. Is it worth building 2 kiln and 2 smelter?

[light moat]

I don’t see why not, surtling cores aren’t too rare to come by, and it’s not like you’ll be using them for portals

[odd flare]

Exactly lol

I just started working on my 2nd copper node. Got lucky and have 3 in a triangle formation with a chamber in the middle. Built a whole road for the cart but I feel like I need to smelt it faster

[tacit crystal]

Maybe partially, structures usually break if they get buried underground.

[simple cloak]

is this game full released allready?

[copper karma]

Click the store page.

[tacit crystal]

It's still in EA state, but the next update will be the full 1.0 update.

[frozen scarab]

Hope we get any news for the update in the next days, its been quite some time

[lone rampart]

It amuses and confuses me so much every time I see someone mention that they play "Vanilla" with "Only a few mods" The two are mutually exclusive. It's ok to use mods if you want but don't claim vanilla if that's the case.

[kindred hare]

No, everyone is eagerly waiting the deep north biome ...... Eagerly waiting I assure you

[tacit crystal]

There is next week left of January, so we might get news then.

December was on break due to the vacation time for developers.

[kindred hare]

Where is it mentioned that we will get news in January?

[lone rampart]

Maybe the next dev update will be a sweet Valentine treat!

[frozen scarab]

Yeah we got some sneak peeks these last months around this time

So I hope they do it again

[tacit crystal]

Note might. At least in the post in social media they stated "see you in next January".

[lone rampart]

There's no guarantee of monthly updates. The devs have been very nice to us lately but it's not required of them

[frozen scarab]

Why not

[lone rampart]

Why so?

[gray sand]

How not?

[lone rampart]

Who what?

[gray sand]

Where so?

[frozen scarab]

lol

[tacit crystal]

Everyone asking "where is update", no one asking "how is update".

[gray sand]

I'll do you one better, WHY is update?

[tacit crystal]

Now that's a question never asked before.

[rare lichen]

We need one of those magic 8 balls that answers those questions 🤣
When Is Deep North coming out?
shake shake
"When it comes out"

[rare lichen]

I think when people talk that way they might be refering to the intensity of the modding. Theres a big difference between playing Valheim with some client side QoL vs playing an overhaul mod that adds content etc. For me, Vanilla Compatible means it can be played on a Vanilla Client. So the Enigma Project is vanilla friendly. You can connect on a vanilla client with no mods enabled.

But your right, most players have strong feelings about the word vanilla. So strong that I've learned to not even use the phrase vanilla compatible instead I say crossplay compatible

[gray sand]

Yeah, but she is right. Modding is a binary thing. There is no "sort of modded" -- you either did, or you did not.

[rare lichen]

So is a Vanilla Valheim server running SDC modded or unmodded?

[gray sand]

SDC = ?

[rare lichen]

Server Devcommands

[gray sand]

I'm going to say yes because vanilla doesn't let server people use devcommands afaik.
So you had to mod that in.

[tacit crystal]

In case of dedicated servers, yes. Player hosted no, since host can use devcommands.

[gray sand]

If you installed something besides just the game itself, you're on the "modded" side of the line.

[fossil delta]

Fair. I say that as someone who uses mods. Just not Valheim. Yet.

[rare lichen]

So what would you call a server that is only running admin tools like SDC. It cant be vanilla... it has a mod on the server

So what is it?

[gray sand]

Modded, as I just said.

[fossil delta]

Modded.

[lone rampart]

Modded but that's not a bad thing

Lightly modded, if further distinction is needed.

[fossil delta]

Not saying it is. I use mods, heavily, when I use them.

[gray sand]

^ Right. No one is debating good vs. bad here.

[rare lichen]

Makes sense to me 🙂
So basically there is no technical Vanilla dedicated server for Valheim

[gray sand]

There is, you just can't use devcommands.

[kindred hare]

I've stopped checking for any news

[rare lichen]

In practice though, doesn't every dedicated server manager use SDC?

[gray sand]

No.

[fossil delta]

For general play, I don't even use dev commands. Only for problems, like when my character got stuck in a tunnel end in a swamp crypt.

[rare lichen]

So a player joins and spawns a bunch of troll in your start temple

What do you do?

[fossil delta]

I didn't. I ran one for over 6 months, never added anything.

[gray sand]

Why tf am I letting a random join my server?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, who lets in randoms?

[rare lichen]

I guess the idea of a public server then is totally crazy jajajaja

[gray sand]

In this game? Yes.

[rare lichen]

Im just trying to understand peoples pov 🙂
Not dismissing what you say, it all makes sense

[fossil delta]

I would never run a public server. Invite only. PW protected. A Public server is just begging for problems.

[gray sand]

It's like.. the number one thing you will see randoms complaining about - that they cannot join servers as a random.

[rare lichen]

Yeah youd have to be really crazy to run a public Valheim server

[gray sand]

To which everyone just goes "Yeah... play with people you know."
Randoms ask for more public server options, and everyone replies "Why would we make things easier for griefers?"

[fossil delta]

Public any server. I didn't get paid for those kinds of head aches.

I didn't get paid at all, in fact, I paid for the server.

[gray sand]

It's an SP game that happens to have Co-Op.
So the MP side of the game is heavily based on playing with people you know.

[rare lichen]

Some of the best experiences Ive ever had in games are with people I didnt know beforehand and got to know through a game

[lone rampart]

I don't.

[gray sand]

Which is perfectly valid.
This community is more about getting to know people here before playing rather than getting to know while playing.

[fossil delta]

I played with people from all over the world. Which was cool in and of itself. Still, I play mostly with my wife, and some times friends.

[gray sand]

Like I would trust Rain for MP in 1.0

[lone rampart]

I love getting to know people who share a common interest in a game I love. Like in here! But opening the doors to anyone in a game where they can destroy days of work with a hammer is ...unwise.

[rare lichen]

This is why I like to ask these questions it shows me that what I think is normal isnt normal at all

[fossil delta]

Well, normal is subjective.

[gray sand]

<Morpheus Matrix Voice>
What is normal?
How do you define normal?

[lone rampart]

"Normal" is a dirty word

[fossil delta]

Usually I consider normal to be utterly boring.

[gray sand]

I legit got reported to my boss by my coworkers for... doing the job correctly and following company policy...

So... yeah, where is the line for "normal"? 😄

[fossil delta]

I hope your boss figured out what your co workers do not know.

[gray sand]

Oh the conversation basically turned into him making a list of all the people who reported me and he's now going to investigate them 🙃

[fossil delta]

Good.

[lone rampart]

Good! Glad your boss seems on the up and up at least. Your coworkers are awful

[fossil delta]

Well, yeah, I won't comment further. 😄

[candid basalt]

I play with people I met on the LNF discord. Since we've been waiting so long, we aren't really strangers 😛

[hazy seal]

whats in your opinion best boss track

for me, it gotta be bonemass, it just has that part that goes supper nutty, none of the other tracks managed yet to stratch that itch that bonemass defile gives me

[split adder]

what are some cheap swamp foods that i can use in the mountain

[gray sand]

Sausage?

Turnip Stew.

[arctic badge]

Honestly, if it can be helped try not to cheap out on foods

[split adder]

i dont want to use all my serpent meat on silver mining

[copper karma]

Sausages, Onion Soup, whatever else you got. Easy peasy

[pliant hatch]

The wiki has a very nice page about food, showing which foods are the best for each biome.

[wet wolf]

i use sausages, wolf/bear meat and cloud berries when in the mountains

[hard sluice]

i like the wolf skewers, i feel like i reached another stage when i get to that food : p
and the payoff from grabbing and saving those shrooms, other than for the serpent stews, is also satisfying*
(i know, you need silver for that)

[gray sand]

Ow...

[hard sluice]

I use deer stews for a long while,until i get silver.
sausages are the obvious 'value' food at that stage, in my opinion.
i like to have turnip stew as a 3rd*

[gray sand]

Can also just run FFF.

[hard sluice]

sometimes ill replace my stamina food by a feast, so i get a little more hp, but still some stam.

[gray sand]

I run FFF for general Mountain stuff, using regular food only for nighttime runs and caves.

[hard sluice]

(i cant really do that anymore because i play no portal. Feast cant be carried. but thats irrelevant for 99% of players, i assume.)

[split adder]

how much silver is enough

[hard sluice]

the strict minimum is very few. but there are some nice weapons to be crafted with silver. (and they are pretty expensive)
You need a handful to craft the cooking station. I don't know that any more than that is essential.
(you could get through the game with only 3.)

[split adder]

is there a particular weapon i should get for moder that needs silver

[gray sand]

Iron Mace rocks her just fine.
Silver Sword is BiS for the next boss after her.

[hard sluice]

I like to make the silver bow, its a good choice for a long time after mountain, and its good vs Moder
I dont know how much spoiler is too much spoiler, so i'm keeping it vague

i should have mentionned that the fang spear(silver tier) is one of my favorite weapon for mid-game, and its very cheap.

i probably know the answer to this but i'll ask anyway.
I have spent hours looking for the Queen on an 'immersive' playthrough.
It feels like searching for a needle in a hay stack.
Any advices ?
I only found 1 mine with a stone so far.

[gray sand]

She is slightly easier to find than Yagluth, but if you're no-mapping it, gonna be rough.

[silk token]

the most useful thing for me besides using a buttload of wisp lights and lighting up the entire world, is LISTENING. anywhere you hear seekers, go to them, they could be outside a point of interest

[hard sluice]

I got very lucky for yag on this run. i found 2 altars of it before i found bonemass.
the swamp isn't as bad as the mistland without a map.... but it is very disorienting.

[hard sluice]

very good advice..!
i am using those wisp lights all the time. its so easy to get lost.

[silk token]

swamp is my favorite in no map/portal. me and my rickety cart going down my swampy path with scattered torches lighting it as things goop and blurp around me trying to be quiet

[hard sluice]

playing without a map is such a trip !
i know i could use console to find nearby mines. check the seed online. turn on the map for 10 seconds, just to see where it is. But i dont want to. i hate getting lost, but i also love it. the world feels gigantic.

[silk token]

getting lost just makes seeing your dock lights in the distance that much better

[timber marsh]

why dont wisps work on normal fog

[gray sand]

Fog =/= Mist

[timber marsh]

would have been useful...

2 star berserkers are still hard to fight...

[burnt glen]

The mist in Mistlands is magical and was created from the dead Jotun's flesh and skin. It's quite different than water suspended in air like normal fog and mists are, which is why Wisplight doesn't work on them and only on the magical mist.

Though I feel like the mist in Mistlands are closer to fog in real life than mists.

[steel mica]

Curious, what gem do you guys use on the slayer greatsword?

[silk token]

i love my lightning on every weapon

[gray sand]

Blue is for melee.
Green is for ranged.

[barren whale]

red is fun for huge middle clicks
blue/green is slightly weaker on the greatsword since it swings slower than other weapons but still quite good dmg

[steel mica]

The only gem I havent used is jade on weapons

Well exception staff of wild

[tough mulch]

What about the red gems

[gray sand]

Considered by many to be useless unless they get reworked.

[steel mica]

It increases dmg every 0.2% of hp you lose

[tough mulch]

Thats sad, Ive heard snippets of a arbelest blood build that does alot of dmg though, only 1 shot sneak attacks.

[gray sand]

You need to constantly be below like 60% health just for them to break even with lightning against a single target - where ling still wins vs. multiple targets.

[burnt glen]

Lowkey I do red on slayer, looks amazing

[gray sand]

Vomiting Sniper build is fun, but it is a meme.

[tough mulch]

Does it scale with HP amount or just percentage based

[gray sand]

HP amount total, which is the the basics of the Vomiting Sniper.

Ling is just better in almost all scenarios.

[steel mica]

I use heavy magic so this is a win for me

[tough mulch]

By heavy do you mean blood or something else

[gray sand]

Magic is just Wilds to win though. So you're still not using red gems 😁

[tough mulch]

Guess its just for trolstav then

[gray sand]

We are hoping they rework it to increase adrenaline gain, because then it's an actual discussion about more trinket procs vs. the aoe and stagger of lightning.

[tough mulch]

That would be amazing, paired with fader buff

[gray sand]

I'm sorry but Moder is like the only buff I use now 😂

Movespeed + weight capacity is just so good.

[tough mulch]

For me it used to be just elder, because the server I was in always runs out of wood and the hp regen is decent enough for me

[steel mica]

Start a farm

And trap a troll lol

[tough mulch]

I thought you meant gredwarf farm for a second

I do have a farm, and I use two handed axe to mow them down, same speed with trolls with elder buff active and a high enough cutting lvl

Whoever said one handed axe cuts trees better didn't account for cutting skill lvls and tree farm set-ups

[steel mica]

I like trolls because they can hit multiple, logs at once

[tough mulch]

Ehe I out-cut troll cutting speeds already, and that involves decimating the logs, stumps however still get annoying on bad terrian

[steel mica]

Thats why you need a dedicated tree farm area

The tree farm I still have I made back in iron age is still there

[tough mulch]

I just flattened out a meadow and called it a day

We also used to have a pet troll we called chungus

But he couldn't get out of the hole so we got rid of him, and relaced him with big chungus(one with the club)

[steel mica]

bigger chungus when?

[tough mulch]

I found super chungus in the boundery between plains swamp and dark forest

First time Ive seen a two star troll and ran for my life

I found a two star troll before a 2 star asksvin smh

[steel mica]

Every night I just take the opportunity to hunt

for 2** asksvin

[glass edge]

Found one in a troll cave, thought the abyssal razor backstab would end him nice and quick, didnt end well lol

[hard sluice]

i fought a 2 stars troll, on hard combat mod, in a cave. with black forest gear..! and won.
It's one of those valheim memory that i can't forget.

Fighting a 2 stars morgen in a cave on hard mode was worse though. that one got me a few times..

the only point of doing that was for bragging rights. so here i am, bragging about it : P
xox

[glass edge]

Staff of the wild spam

Slap him silly

[split adder]

is it worth fully upgrading my iron pickaxe so i can get twice the silver per go into the mountains

[hard sluice]

i only resorted to using magic for the last boss. otherwise i go melee

When you are using portals, its almost always easier to simply portal back to base and repair

its a meme at this point, but you never have enough iron in valheim. might as well save it.
just my opinion.

[tough mulch]

As I hunt for 2 star asksvin everything is out to hunt me

[hard sluice]

ashland at night is scary.

[glass edge]

Stand very still, haha

[lone rampart]

“Be vewwy vewwy qwuiet…I’m hunting askvwins!”

[tough mulch]

Take the antler pickaxe(you can repwir it in normal workbench) and dig all the ground around it, is it faster? Hard to tell, but thats what I do, if it doesnt fall wack the center with your iron pickaxe

[tough mulch]

Ashland mobs: uwu

[lone rampart]

Omg I’m old 🤦‍♀️ That was Elmer Fudd!!

[split adder]

i always overlook the antler pickaxe because its so outdated, but thats exactly why i need to remember it's existence

[tough mulch]

Kek the tone only reminds me of E-girls

[lone rampart]

Definitely no. Hie thee hence to yon Looney Tunes!

[glass edge]

Elmer-girls? Fits bugs more haha

[steel mica]

Get a asksvin and trollstav

Asksvin as backup partner and trollstav for distraction

Stay on the movement dont fight

Only fight when you find a 2star asksvin

[tough mulch]

Ive overrun the ashland with 1 star asksvin, and silly me didn't expect it would make looking for 2 star asksvins hard since everywhere I look I see asksvins

[steel mica]

They're slightly larger and darker in coloration

[tough mulch]

Honestly, it was satisfying walking around and everything around me just dies to askvins

[tough mulch]

Welp Ill keep trying, do asksvins have spawn zones?

[untold sinew]

Idts

[tough mulch]

Dayum

[steel mica]

They mostly spawn deeper in the Ashlands islands

They dont spawn in the coast

[tough mulch]

I see, I guess I am somewhat near the ocean side, Ill see if I can take over a central fort area

[steel mica]

Best to look for them in the open areas of the Ashlands

And also be ready to have a trap

Asksvins are really brutal when nearing other tamed creatures

[tough mulch]

I dont think aksvins fight aksvins, but do correct me if im wrong

[steel mica]

They dont directly fight their own kind, but they have the tendency to just attack their own cage out of frustration lol

[tough mulch]

I always use the hole method when taming

[steel mica]

Ashlands mobs have creatures which can do friendly fire dmg

Asksvins, Morgen, Valkyrie, and Lava blobs

[tough mulch]

Wooden floor on top 👍
It can burn, but it wont burn that fast

[steel mica]

Just use grausten floors

[tough mulch]

Just enough time for me to wait for the yellow hearts so I can leave the area

[tough mulch]

You guys... Carry stone cutters with you all around the ashlands?

[steel mica]

Depends

Exploration: use normal portal
Looting: stone portal

[untold sinew]

Almost always

[tough mulch]

I use normal portals and transport stone cutters when I need them through stone to wood travel

[steel mica]

Waste of 2 iron lol

[chrome badge]

I place portal hubs around each ashlands island on the N,S,E,W edges, so I'm never very far from a portal home.

[tough mulch]

When leaving I take the stone cutter back through the stone portal and break the stone portal manually and bring it back through the wood portal

[steel mica]

I just bring a portal with me at all times in the ahslands when exploring

[tough mulch]

Atleast thats how it was when I got my hands on 2 stone portals

[steel mica]

I like to have a main base in the ashlands and use the rest of the charred fortress scattered around the map as portals back home

[tough mulch]

Oh thats a great Idea, I should do that

[steel mica]

Thats atleast my plan

Im just hunting 2** asksvin at the moment

[tough mulch]

Bro you too?

[chrome badge]

It's easy enough, I will usually wrap a landmass to outline it in my map, I just add some portal materials to my inventory and retrofit some pre-built structures for it.

[slow flicker]

Does anyone know if there's been any kind of update on the deep north update?

[steel mica]

I've already hunted a 2** asksvin on my first playthrough

This time im well equipped to hunt one down

[steel mica]

No announcement so far

[tough mulch]

Hmmm... I only plan to get it once so I can transport eggs between worlds

[steel mica]

Devs really cookin the update

[chrome badge]

Also a great idea, though I like to do it before even beginning to take on forts, I enjoy marking things for later and uncovering my map fully.

[tough mulch]

Most travel friendly mob ngl

[slow flicker]

Didn't think so haven't seen anything in awhile so wasn't sure if I just missed it or there just hasn't been one sent out yet

[steel mica]

Not much you can chill for now and do whatever in your valheim game, if any announcements does pop up you can check #news

[tough mulch]

Hmm what announcement are you guys waiting for

Just started valhiem like less than 2 weeks ago so im a bit behind

[slow flicker]

Yea been doing a lot of building and just general exploration of the world on my uptenth play through lol

[steel mica]

I hope they dont add a specific release date because that would just pressure the team to work harder on the update

[slow flicker]

The last biome update for deep north

[steel mica]

I want them to take their time

[tough mulch]

Oh is it coming soon,

[slow flicker]

They've had what over a year now since announcing it

[steel mica]

The devs stated that they will be releasing it in 2026 but no specific month or date

[tough mulch]

When it does come I'll have to start a new playthrough

[steel mica]

Not necessarily but its recommended for full experience

You can still continue on your main world

Im excited for both the qol updates and deep north itself

[slow flicker]

I'm just leaving the deep north uncovered/unexplored until the update comes out except for a small area on the coast line I put a portal hub on so I can just pop over when it's ready to go

[tough mulch]

Nah its good, that world is pretty much done

[steel mica]

When deep north drops im putting my resource modifier back to 1.0x

Currently I have 1.5x for accelerated gameplay

[tough mulch]

If I can modify one thing it would be Iron

[slow flicker]

I keep mine at 3x and have it on build mode. Been playing since day one lol

[timber marsh]

so the combination of mistlands and tall snow mountains look awesome

[tough mulch]

The mistlands is a beautiful place, if only I could see it lol

[timber marsh]

VALHEIM: the only game where you want mushrooms more than gold coins...

[tough mulch]

what I'd give for some pots that allow me to plant crops outside of their designated region

[timber marsh]

[chrome badge]

Wisp Torches are your friend

[odd flare]

Just built my first hut on the swamp on my no map portals and hardcore journey. I brought all my important stuff with me in case I can't get back to my first base

I have a feeling finding bonemass will be much harder then the elder was

[hard sluice]

on my immersive playthrough, i had a very hard time finding bonemass. the bog witch also

[fossil delta]

Had a fantastic start into the Mistlands this play through, and we haven't even gotten to Yags altar yet.

I think the only thing that could make it better is if we found a root to put the extractor into.

But we already found and went into a dungeon, within which was 6 of the 9 pieces needed for the Queen, plus 2 cores. Plus we also found the Queens location.

Outside of this dungeon were two Dvergr docks. Only one had an extractor though.

Plus we have our Mistlands farm well underway, and thanks to the Dungeon steps, we got enough marble to upgrade our food station too.

[chrome badge]

I'm going to be starting a fresh playthrough soon, just taking my time finding a very very rare world seed.

I'm looking for an area with naturally clear mistlands, that connects in a short distance to plains and black forest-- while also being coastal.

It's super difficult, but I won't give up!

[fossil delta]

My wife and I have been playing this off and on since a few weeks before Christmas. We haven't even hit day 300 yet.

The dock and dungeon area are clear of mist. Where we had to farm is not. Plus its adjacent to plains, so lots of help getting hares.

Also no roots, yet. There is a close by area that may have them in there, but its also mist covered.

I think tomorrow we will finish going to Yag, etc... then worry about finding roots, etc...

[frozen fable]

i'm a little annoyed, i had boars spawning into my fenced in farm

they ate my crops lol

[chrome badge]

There's a tip in the loading screens that says creatures won't spawn near base items like campfires and workbenches.

[tough mulch]

I recommend work bench first since you can see the active area and replacing them with campfires, bury the campfire lightly to make the area look decent

[frozen fable]

yeah i have 1700 hours in the game, first time i've had that happen, it's weird

[tough mulch]

its the first time I've heard boars eat crops too

[fossil delta]

If they had boar spawning in, other things could have spawned in too. Like if they have night time spawns occurring.
Pretty sure deer and boar do not eat our crops.

[frozen fable]

yet there they were and nothing else was inside it and all my crops gone, it happened twice

[hard sluice]

i think crop can despawn if theres no workbench nearby

[frozen fable]

why would it despawn that makes no sense

[sick bear]

ewww y u here hahahaha

[hard sluice]

idk why but since i make sure all my crop is in range of a workbench, i don't have that problem anymore

[tough mulch]

Planning to join one of the ifg servers, and well talk about game mechanics and stuff

Been chillin here for a while now too

[sick bear]

cheating on ur wife i see

[tough mulch]

pretty sure those guys already lost their valhiem drive

nothing new, in DRG I was the last one playing, in PEAK I was the last one playing, and now Valhiem

[sick bear]

:0 excuse u

[tough mulch]

in group servers

[sick bear]

cheating on ur wife indeed

[tough mulch]

hmmm I think I wanna play PEAK now. alright its been a while anyways

[raven dagger]

It’s rough when your family you game with drops out of your servers in multiplayer games…

There’s a scenario like that I’m not sure I’m guilty in?

[sick bear]

sigh sucks when ur friends are employed

[raven dagger]

Like, my brother in law, my sister, and I started a Valheim server.

After a while, my sister dropped out, and it was just bro in law and me.

But losing my sister kinda sapped my drive for it too, and I eventually dropped as well. My bro in law was kinda bummed…

Gotta be grateful to him, it’s been a while, but he’s the one that gifted me Valheim

[tough mulch]

Thats a real family server right there, heh im not close enough to relatives to have such conditions

[raven dagger]

I have 5 siblings, between them and their spouses I had to have at least some gaming buddies, XD

[tacit crystal]

PS5 release in 2026, but no word of Deep North releasing this year.

[inner nimbus]

TIL you can over prepare for Yagluth

Berserkir Mead + fire resist + health potions, fully upgraded padded armor and 4 star black metal sword/shield

[nocturne wolf]

Silver sword is better for yagluth

[inner nimbus]

Didn't think of that! I have spare silver, lots of it!

Thanks

[vernal wedge]

shouldn't the bronze armor provide better armor?

[nocturne wolf]

It has more armor points than anything else available at that point

[vernal wedge]

easily replacable by root armor no? or would you say it's balanced because the abomination is hard to kill

24 armor

i don't want to talk to you anymore

typical discord boy

ok

you're the rude one i like to discuss things

without being disrespected

[nocturne wolf]

If root armor was any weaker it wouldn’t be an upgrade from black forest light armors. The main problem here is that bronze isn’t strong enough, the gap between light and heavy defence is a lot bigger in later biomes.

[vernal wedge]

i was more thinking like having gradual armor rating between bronze armor and root armor because of how much of a jump there is to iron

having the same rating for two armors is just a little bit weird to me, it's fine but my buddies always want to skip it which is pretty sad

[nocturne wolf]

It has the same defense but less movespeed reduction, and it has damage modifiers

[vernal wedge]

true

[vernal wedge]

i was talking about skipping bronze armor

[nocturne wolf]

Bronze armor isn’t trying to be a step up in progression, just an alternative choice from other black forest armors

[vernal wedge]

because it seems you have all the advantages without drawbacks with the root armor, was my point

ok i guess it's pretty cheap

i wasn't aware of the price in bronze but it's alright

thanks!

[tough mulch]

except the leggings, + weakness to fire lmao

[vernal wedge]

true, i'm rarely on fire at that point tho

i guess it's to balance it out for shamans in plains?

[dusky anvil]

Anyone have any good advice for getting Leather Strips?

[vernal wedge]

plains village or crypts in swamps

[dusky anvil]

Trying to breed 2 boars, idk if it's doing anything. They just have yellow hearts above their heads

[nocturne wolf]

That means they're currently taming

[dusky anvil]

Do I just wait? How long does it take? Are they supposed to be just staring at a corner the whole time?

[nocturne wolf]

It takes 30m

[tacit crystal]

You can do tasks around the area. There is also one mead that halves the taming time, it requires finding Bog Witch tho.

[dusky anvil]

And now monsters attacked me, scared the boars, and I gotta start over again

Yippee

[vernal wedge]

walls around boars are really needed those poor babies
