valheim-chat

[dusky anvil]

I did have walls around then

They still got scared

[tough mulch]

the most longterm way is an auto Boar farm but that takes alot of set-up but hey, free leather strips, boar meat and boar trophies for days

[tacit crystal]

The taming time only pauses.

[thorn citrus]

I'm losing my mind over some tuna

how do I find them

[frozen fable]

neat, the atgeir can block the Elder's attack

[tacit crystal]

Do you mean clearing the roots he summon?

[tacit crystal]

They spawn in ocean, they're quite evasive and fast swimming fish and it can take time to spot them properly.

[deep drum]

when is deep north likely to come out?

[lunar sapphire]

I have no information to share on that. I'm just a patient Viking

[deep drum]

is 1 year plausible?

[dusky anvil]

Can a boar tbat is bred spawm with a star if their parents don't have one?

[lunar sapphire]

You can speculate but it's not going to help speed it up 😄

[lunar sapphire]

One of the parents need to atleast have a star

otherwise it's family tree is no-star

[dusky anvil]

Got it

So, I just got the tanning rack and all leather armor. Now what?

What should I do next?

[foggy glacier]

Did you defeat Eikthyr yet?

[frozen fable]

no, i mean the Bronze Atgeir can block his stomp

[tacit crystal]

Ah. Yeah, it has enough parry bonus to do that.

[dusky anvil]

About to

[smoky saddle]

Whats the best way to get stone quickly?

[modern jolt]

a good option are stone pillars in plains, but it depends what u have access to

[tacit crystal]

Mining. Copper/silver nodes also drop lots of stone, stone boulders around lots of biomes, stone pillars in plains etc.

[dusky anvil]

So, I beat him. What do I di with the trophy?

[tacit crystal]

Return it to the starting location.

[smoky saddle]

Ill try that ty

[dusky anvil]

And how do you activate the new power in my inventory?

[tacit crystal]

F key.

It grants the effects for 5 minutes and has 20 minute cooldown.

[dusky anvil]

On controller?

[tacit crystal]

Hmm. Check buttons on settings.

Haven't played with controller.

[barren whale]

you can also hoe down any stone towers you see so they collapse

[wary kettle]

I just started playing a few days ago. I’ve added a bunch of QoL mods but nothing that really changes the gameplay significantly. Trying to rely on guides as little as possible. I’m in the Black Forest, trying to assemble a complete set of bronze armor and all the metal tools I need. I am loving it so far. The building system is growing on me.

[steel mica]

Doesn't PS not allow early access games to be released or was that a different device

[tacit crystal]

All we know that Valheim is going to be released to PS5 this year.

[steel mica]

Interesting

[gray sand]

Genuine question, zero judgment, just pure curiosity:

When you start playing games, the first thing you do is... alter them? 🤔 Instead of doing at least one run through on the baseline, intended experience?

[lunar sapphire]

Oh that playstyle. If it works it works but I don't get it myself

ofc, it fits under the "There's no wrong way to play Valheim" umbrella

[gray sand]

Yes, it is not wrong. Just trying to understand the perspective!

[steel mica]

I wont judge but quality of life mods are nice

The only games I've heavily modded the closest is either between unturned or project zomboid

2 zombie survival games

[gray sand]

As stated I am not judging 😭

[thorn citrus]

okay, and what about groupers ?

I've been in the plains and I can't find any

[steel mica]

You're good Sevrahn chill

[lone rampart]

You know as well as I that is physically impossible for him, Black 🤣 /j

[tacit crystal]

Check different areas if none are found, in my experience they are quite common.

[gray sand]

Start a rock band, the groupers will find you 😏

[tacit crystal]

All of the cells in body fighting hard.

[thorn citrus]

okay I found some but

on the wikithey appear semi-white and semi-red

in game they're entirely red

[smoky saddle]

Push both sticks down at the same time

[wary kettle]

There are certain aspects of some games that make them unnecessarily grindy in my opinion. For example, the tiny inventory was very difficult to work with. The fact that I could not craft from containers, also pretty obnoxious. An in game compass and clock are useful as well. I do this to minimize the amount of grind I need to do, so I can spend my time actually having fun playing the game.

[gray sand]

Hmmmmm....

I acknowledge that everyone sees things differently.
To me that reads as "I find the different shapes in Tetris unnecessary, so I changed everything to the 2x2 blocks so I can enjoy making rows."

[tacit crystal]

It's possible they've gotten slight changes on appearance I'm not aware. 👀
Light can also alter that a bit how they look.

[wary kettle]

That is a refreshingly obnoxious take. Thanks for sharing.

[steel mica]

I mean to be fair you're playing a survival so expect things to be very grindy

[formal torrent]

It's okay if you want to make your game more geared towards small children

[smoky saddle]

I dont think a compass is really needed as the map helps with direction anyway.

And a clock, well you have the sun and moon

[thorn citrus]

nah it's my bad, in the inventory, the grouper as an item appears just like in the wiki

but their 3D model is definitely entirely red

they look like coral cod

[tacit crystal]

Haven't fished them for a while so I have to look upon that later when I'm able.

[thorn citrus]

and um...how do I craft

hot baits ?

because I want to have some before going to the ashlands, but the wiki is outdated and shows the old craft where you had to use fishs

[tacit crystal]

You need certain trophy from Ashlands mob. Which is ||charred warrior||.

[thorn citrus]

sorry that's a lot of questions

[thorn citrus]

oh okay, then I won't look at the spoiler because

I haven't seen ANYTHING from the ashlands since it came out, and was waiting for my friends to play again

it's been a year, but we're gonna kill the queen soon

and I'll see that later

[tacit crystal]

Then you're on treat. 👌

[thorn citrus]

I'm focused on finishing our base before going tho

[tacit crystal]

I just got to Ashlands with my group and they're quite excited.

[thorn citrus]

because we don't have anymore place for any of the mistlands machinery

so we decided to move out

[tough mulch]

how was it

[tacit crystal]

I give only these advices for going to Ashlands eventually: have backup portal as near as possible and do prepare well.

[tough mulch]

its always a treat for me to know how other people take the ashlands

[thorn citrus]

we always always prep as good as we can for each biome and play slowly

it's been almost 3 months and 200 hours in that current adventure

[tacit crystal]

For my group, it was the fight for their lives. For me, it was Tuesday.

[thorn citrus]

and that was with me acting as a guide because I already played through the first 6 biomes

for the ashlands we're going in blind

[tough mulch]

Lol

[thorn citrus]

and that's scary

[strange cradle]

Tip: Portal on one of the spires right in front of the beach. Trust me, you will need it.

[median ibex]

Vile Trophies do not feel like a 1 in 10

[tough mulch]

another pro tip, pray to odin you get there in one piece

[dusky anvil]

Turns out, it was d pad down

Know where I can find caves with surtling cores?

[tacit crystal]

Hence my advice placing portal as near as possible.
-# Put spoiler tag in case, they want to go blind.

[median ibex]

Btw, can you spawn proof vs Lox?

[tough mulch]

spawn proofing prevents anything from spawning so yes, even deers dont spawn when spawn proofed

[pliant hatch]

Off to the Ashlands for the first time since that biome got released in the PTB.
On "hard" settings.

This is going to be fun......

[strange cradle]

😄

[tough mulch]

im too new to comprehend hard mode

sounds like insanity to my ears

[tacit crystal]

Hard is manageable, very hard is another story.

[strange cradle]

I'm too old for that. I play on default. Even it is easy mode for me most of the time. But when it gets rough... Nah, default is good enough for me.

Even if default feels like easy mode, was what I was trying to say.

[median ibex]

Cheers

[pliant hatch]

In general the mobs aren't that difficult on "hard". You just need to be a bit more careful.
Bosses are a somewhat different story.
Yag and the Queen are a real PitA and I certainly wasn't enjoying those fights.

If the same thing happens to Ashlands, it'll feel like landing there in the PTB again.
We'll see.

[tough mulch]

ehh I'll stick to cheesing my enemies to death

[strange cradle]

Queen fight is brutal. I rather fight Vader.

[dusky anvil]

Anyone?

[steel mica]

First time playing?

[strange cradle]

Have you been to the Black Forest already?

[formal torrent]

Yo DM me I'll help you out

[dusky anvil]

Yeah. Need to find the cores for smelting, but idk where the caves are

[dusky anvil]

Just tell me here

[strange cradle]

Keep on looking. You will find them.

[pliant hatch]

Check the burial chambers in the Black Forest.
That's all I'd say.

[steel mica]

Your next progression biome is the blackforest

[formal torrent]

I mean I could do that but im bored so I want to play with someone or watch them play

That way I could also help you out with anything else that comes up

[strange cradle]

The forest needs to be big enough so there's room for them to spawn.

[steel mica]

Aka watch them suffer lol

[strange cradle]

But usually there's plenty of them.

[formal torrent]

Mostly just to be helpful but yeah it's fun watching people fight trolls or shamans for the first time haha

[tough mulch]

in unusually cases like mine, sometiems majority of those dungeons spawn at the otherside of the island

[strange cradle]

Well, yeah, sometimes RNG can be a b*****.

But that should be rare.

[tough mulch]

my elder, spawned at the furthest possible locations, all of them

[dusky anvil]

Could they not send every stupidly powerful or annoying enemy after me?

[formal torrent]

Message me bro I'll help you out

[dusky anvil]

Ugh, off

[strange cradle]

Fight trolls with a bow.

[tough mulch]

ahah no worries bro, it gets worse

[strange cradle]

Keep your distance.

[formal torrent]

Off?

[strange cradle]

Do NOT fight bears with a bow. Stand your ground. Do NOT fight bears with spear, dagger or atgeir.

Use an axe or sword.

[tough mulch]

I remember my first bear, the squad avoided them like the plague

[strange cradle]

😄

They're not hard, they're just tough.

[formal torrent]

Parrying bears goes crazy

[tough mulch]

then we decided f it we ball and turned out, it was a slow mofo and very easy cheographed

[strange cradle]

Exactly.

[dusky anvil]

What do the caves look like?

[strange cradle]

Just check everything that has an entrance. 😄

[tough mulch]

like a troll cave but surrounded by skele's

[pliant hatch]

First attempt: Failed.
Reason, the wind shifted, just when I entered the boiling waters and a bloody ||Bonemaw ||decided to attack me.

[dusky anvil]

I haven't seen the one with the smelting cores at all

[formal torrent]

Okay brother I'm gonna offer one more time. If you're down to hop in a call I can answer all of these questions you have as they pop up.

[tough mulch]

no moder? you have guts my friend

[strange cradle]

I never needed Moder there. That Maw's are not that tough. I fought them with a bow.

Well, on hard... might be different. 😛

[pliant hatch]

I got the Queen's power as choice right now, as I think it'll be more useful in the time between the landing and the moment I'm able to drop down a portal.

[dusky anvil]

I haven't seen either of those. I wanted to find the caves for the smelting cores

[strange cradle]

Just be patient. Scour the ENTIRE forest.

Valheim is a game of patience.

[dusky anvil]

And yet they made ONE annoying theme to loop

[tough mulch]

I see, if that area is a failure try running to the otherside of the island, thats where I found most of mine, keep an eye out for skeletons, if there are skeletons and no nearby stone ruins theres a high chance a dungeon is there

[strange cradle]

Exactly.

[tough mulch]

the most important thing to not missing dungeons is shoving yourself into any stone/cave like hole you can find

I missed mine the first time because non of us knew what it looked like

[split adder]

is there anything useful in frost caves or can i ignore them

[tough mulch]

fenris armor, is it good for combat? nah, defense? nah. but goddamn that +ms speed is addicting

[strange cradle]

I think yes.

[pliant hatch]

Really......
Attempt #2: First the wind shifted again, then a storm started just when I entered the spikes......
SNG is really playing games with me today.

[strange cradle]

If you want to play an agile, fast character.

Ouch.

I use root armor a lot.

But Fenris armor has something going for it.

[tough mulch]

same, the harness has carried my journey a long way

[strange cradle]

yup.

Ok, it's lunch time. cya!

[tough mulch]

I still have the leggins till this day just to offset any -ms from other armor

cya

[gray sand]

I just use my Rested timer as a literal countdown to nightfall 🤷‍♂️

[split adder]

is it worth it to get max level wolf set

i dont like dying

[raven flint]

Im new to valhme would like to join a private server

[split adder]

NOOOOOOO STEVE

my boar died:(

is it possible to bury items

[foggy glacier]

You can put them in a chest and bury it, I think.

[split adder]

the chest just broke

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[foggy glacier]

Yeah I thought that might happen. If you mostly bury it, leaving a bit exposed, it won’t break.

You might have to get creative with some stonework

[harsh dawn]

hey looking to start a new valheim run, anyone down?

[loud latch]

I'm kinda lost here, why is the Swamp feast absolutely the same as the black forest feast?

not to mention it's basically the same with the Medowns feast with the only difference is the 1 hp/s healing

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[median ibex]

I've killed 32 Viles and I haven't gotten a Trophy yet :(

[pliant hatch]

Probably because all 3 are unlocked once you get to swamp.

So having two being weaker as the one you get when you discover the biome is a bit odd, as it would make them completely useless.

With similar stats, players are able to get rid of their old (BF and Meadows) food supplies, without actually loosing on stats.

Damn. Those bloody ||Voltures ||hit hard on "hard" difficulty. ||Popped my lvl 3 bubble in 1 hit. Hit me to death with a 2nd.|| I'm going to drop the difficulty to "normal" again. This is a bit too much for my liking.

[nocturne wolf]

they can't move while attacking

[pliant hatch]

Yeah, but when I'm sailing, I can't strike back as long as I'm trying to keep the boat going in the right direction.

So we're at "equal" footing, with the exception that I have to worry about my boat not being destroyed, while that bloody bird is able to go everywhere it likes.

It wouldn't be that bad if it was easier to approach that coast. But since you can't, it's not something I'm enjoying. Hence dropping back to "normal" difficulty.

[prime plume]

I did it! I beat queen!

[paper marsh]

You go queen!

She can be a tough one, well done!

[prime plume]

Gosh, I hated her charge attack, my wisplight wasn't showing me what I want to see

[pliant hatch]

Congratz.

Now it's time to prepare for the worst biome this game has.
And from someone who just got there, the only advise I can give you is to take it really slow.

[prime plume]

Looking forward to it!

I am a prepper!

[tacit crystal]

Worst is subjective tho. One in our group was liking the vibes there.

[prime plume]

are images sendable?

[gray sand]

Meadows is the worst.

[tacit crystal]

In https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977 as long as they are Valheim related.

[tacit crystal]

Lots of crypts hmm?

[prime plume]

that and the C's being geysers

[gray sand]

I forget that most people type on their markers 😄

[prime plume]

I try to be organized.

[gray sand]

Oh I fully understand. I just have a system where the symbol itself has a singular meaning per biome.
So I don't have to type. Helps me mark things faster when being chased 😄

[prime plume]

XD I had the time to scan the whole swamp

[gray sand]

Fair. I just find the no-letters "cleaner" for lack of a better word.

[tough mulch]

do you guys scout all the crepts and mark them, or mark then as you go, I mark as I go

[split adder]

does valheim have enough mining to technically be considered a mining game

[tough mulch]

and when the whole swamp is clear I replace the mark with a campfire that says Exploration 100%

[gray sand]

I scout the Swamp, marking as a I go.
I then go back and unlock them all.

After which I just leave the Key at home until the next Swamp.

[gray sand]

Honestly, yes.

[prime plume]

I just marked them and left a portal ontop of the first crypt I scouted

Marked as I went*

[tough mulch]

3 types of valhiem players

the third is the one that doesnt mark anything

[gray sand]

I will never understand no-mappers.

[prime plume]

my god.

[prime plume]

masochists I tell you.

[tough mulch]

someone once told me they found a fenris cave, I asked them where it was and they said they forgot

then I realized, he doesnt mark anything

[prime plume]

perhaps they don't know that they could mark?

[tough mulch]

they keep forgetting, then comes the issue, after learning from their mistake they marked everything

by that I mean EVERYTHING

[prime plume]

how should I go about entering the ashy legs land? any tips?

[tough mulch]

a raspberry bush? mark it. copper vien? mark it. random ruin? mark it

[gray sand]

Are you a mage or a viking?

[tough mulch]

plant the first portal by the spire nearest to land and dont bother parking the ship, crash land it and find the nearest safe spire

[prime plume]

yes. I'm a switch. I got a bit of both

[gray sand]

Tip A: Pick one and stick to it.

[split adder]

why do enemies keep spawning like 7 at a time in the black forest

i just want to take my silver home

[tough mulch]

I recommend moder incase the wind changes and retreating back to change buff

[gray sand]

Tip B: If mage - Fireball staff until Wilds staff.
Tip C: If viking - Silver Sword or Mistwalker for the actual killing, Demolisher for making your untouchable.

[tough mulch]

ah.. wait till you reach the ashlands

[split adder]

should i be scared

[tough mulch]

7... 7 is nice now that I think about it

[tacit crystal]

Depends.

[tough mulch]

also there might be a spawner nearby so

[prime plume]

hummm, I like both routes 😐 gotta have to make do as a hybrid

[tough mulch]

as hybrid as I go is blood magic + axe, maybe a wild staff in between since its low maintenance

[prime plume]

I'm relatively evenly spread on skills, my highest being clubs at 30 and followed by polearm at 27 swords at 21

[gray sand]

The grain of salt to take is I am specifically speaking to landing as that was what you asked about.
Once you have your foothold established, there really is no "best" from that point forward.

[tough mulch]

the best thing you can have is a hoe, stone and some workbenches for establishing in the best and safest place in the ashlands

[split adder]

how do i get a bunch of surtling cores

[gray sand]

Swamp farm is the afk way, Black Forest crypts is the dungeon way.

[tough mulch]

if your lucky and find a fire geyser in the swamp you can make an afk coal/surtling core farm

[prime plume]

I have a 16 geyser swamp XD

[tough mulch]

thats insane

how big is that swamp

[paper marsh]

Tip B: Play what you want. Imo hybrid is super fun, and super viable

[prime plume]

that'd be tip D

[paper marsh]

Yeah but you had to see it right after A so you didn't pick a path prematurely

[tough mulch]

whats B then

[split adder]

is 239 silver enough

[tough mulch]

yeah thats enough, unless you want to make alot of silver arrows

[paper marsh]

Depends. If you want silver swrod/frostner and silver armor, all fully upgraded, you need a lot

If you don't want one of those weapons you should have plenty

[tacit crystal]

Depends. Fully upgraded silver sword? 160 gone, 79 left.

[prime plume]

I hate the existence of gjalls

[tough mulch]

dont we all

[gray sand]

I do not hate them 🤷‍♂️

[pliant hatch]

it's here: #valheim-chat message

[tough mulch]

I'm mining in peace and suddenly intense echoeing fart noises appear im bailing

feather cape + root harness is not helping me this time

[gray sand]

I wear neither 😄

[tough mulch]

im not sure if its accurate, but Gjalls can see through the mist is what google ai told me which made it worse for me

[odd flare]

how do yall set out to find haldor on no map no portals

[pliant hatch]

If that same AI told you that deer and trolls can smell you, it's not true.

[gray sand]

One day people will stop taking the word of text generator bots 🙁

[tough mulch]

oh I'm already suspicious the ai told me to find a dvgr base to build a battering ram

[prime plume]

I was just now peacefully minding my biz, trying to get back the mats from my old boat to make the drakkar and it flies overhead and drops ticks on me

[tough mulch]

Im not the best valhiem player since I run with no fire resistence mead and no healing meads but usually I can manage but Gjalls, dayum are they a menace to me

[paper marsh]

hm, I'd expect people to take the word of them more as time progresses

[gray sand]

I don't run with fire resist mead except for Yagluth 😄

[prime plume]

I have tonnes in storage but I just forget them

[gray sand]

I hope they don't, because they are genuinely not getting smarter.

[tough mulch]

same same, with over reliant on chat gpt for homework and exams in the new gen im sure they have high trust for that stuff, ah im getting deraild back to gjalls

[tough mulch]

I played in a server and I got pampered alot since one person did all the cooking and mead making for the team

that person isn't around anymore so I have to cook for myself now and make potions

[prime plume]

want to join me? XD

[tough mulch]

im down, but im still on the newer side of players since I've only done one playthrough

[prime plume]

Camp-mom over here.

[split adder]

how far around do i need to dig around a geyser to guarantee surtling death

[prime plume]

soon as u see water ur fine

and around it's own dirt circle it comes with. if that makes sense

[tough mulch]

you found one? lucky, dont forget to surround it with some logs so they dont run to land

[odd flare]

just floated through a pass between 2 swampes with 4 surtling spawners and 6 visible crypts

[tough mulch]

I found out that corewood bench logs are easy to place down and are great for quickly surrounding them

[odd flare]

im never finding haldor 🙁

[gray sand]

If you've put in the hours trying to find him, no one will fault you for using the map tool.

[prime plume]

hide and seek gamer

[odd flare]

no map

[gray sand]

I will never understand 😭

[odd flare]

this will be my 3rd playthrough, and its by far the most fun yet

much much slower pace then the other 2

[gray sand]

😬

[odd flare]

ive beaten elder, officially pahted a way to another island thats quite far for swamp

playing the coasts, using level ground for pathing as i move away from the coasts. i have a full on "copper road" from my first and main base

took about 2 hours

but 7 nodes, ill never get lost

and as im sailing, i put markers on the shores to direct me back to my main base

but im never going to get ymir flesh it seems. im lost at this junction

[gray sand]

Being lost is why we invented maps 😉

[odd flare]

im making one, in me head as i play

[prime plume]

you better put that in writing irl and show us your mental map

[odd flare]

my notebook is just a bunch of lines, circles, and poorly drawn shorelines haha

[gray sand]

So you ARE playing with a map 😛

[pliant hatch]

The advantage of entering Ashlands with 1.5x resources on: Within 5 minutes you got enough Grausten to finish your base. 😄

[gray sand]

I actually don't use grausten for anything 😬

[odd flare]

i gues ssoo. it looks like one of my 7 year old sons drawings

i dont remember ingredients for longship 😒

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, use lava blobs to help demolishing ruined structures and big rocks and you get grausten for days.
-# Or just for mere minutes if you decide to build big.

[barren whale]

the dvergr settlements have absurd amounts of grausten
I don't think the 1.5x moves the needle

most of my time spent is on picking it up and putting it into carts

[tacit crystal]

I just got a nice wall around our base finished, looking forward how others in my group will react.

[unborn dew]

Why fun though? Getting lost all the time sounds annoying xD

[odd flare]

forced exploration

it really makes you pay attention to your surroundings

admittedly, i dont travel at night, or in the rain ever

but i also path everywhere i go so its quite hard to get lost

i got lucky finding the elder. i dont think im going to get lucky finding bonemass. pretty sure i have ran through the majority of my starter island, and therse no swamp. im still pathing the coast to make sure

[split adder]

do i have to be in the area for a geyser to spawn surtlings

nevermind i forgot to remove a workbench

[gray sand]

I personally find all of these things are satisfied when I do no portal runs.

[odd flare]

im not doing portals either

im enjoying it. ive died once and had to start over, luckily it was super early in the run. but im saving previous generation of gears for if it happens again

[gray sand]

I enjoy no portal.

The one cheat I always do is giving myself PANTS though...

Like who tf said "Shirt, no pants" for all starting people? Why is it not a choice? 😭

[split adder]

who needs pants

[gray sand]

🙋‍♂️

I have a long-standing world called "Pantsheim" where there is a fortress lined with BM chests filled with Rag Pants.
I log in my new character, hop over, drop my shirt in the Obliterator, pick up my pants, and return to my new world.

[split adder]

you really like pants huh

[gray sand]

Odd takeaway...

[odd flare]

fire arrows kinda suck in the swamp

[gray sand]

[odd flare]

im very bow centric this run. being hardcore its safe, but ill always use a club over an axe

[gray sand]

Spears, my beloved.

[odd flare]

yeah spears are so much fun

[meager fossil]

God its so good to be back in Valheim

LOVE the music in the meadows

[thorn citrus]

where are those tunaaaaas aaaaaaah

4 hours for no tuna

[paper marsh]

A Danish Viking always feels right at home in Valheim

[meager fossil]

Okay, so bears are a thing now.... My god my rear almost shot out a diamond

[tacit crystal]

Did you get jumped by sneaky bear?

[meager fossil]

No I saw a massive furry butt in the forest and decided to shoot it. Turned out to be a 1 star bear that take almost no dmg from my bow. Safe to say I got some practice in running away 😂

[silk token]

i never see the furry butt, they just suddenly go RRWARRRR when my back is turned. and i'm always playing "bear or boulder" when i walk around. they make every round bit in the BF terrifying. awesome mob design imo

[tough mulch]

brothers I just got here what is this conversation

[silk token]

hahaha i just deleted a star asksvin and non star in 2 seconds with spiked walls. spike walls op i never played with them this much before

[silk token]

mostly just talking about furry butts

[tough mulch]

you got my attention good sir, continue on

[tacit crystal]

Lol, my friend got spooked by bear few times. #memes-and-clips message

[thorn citrus]

I give up on those tuna man

I sailed from ashlands to deep north

[tacit crystal]

Are you trying to get the stylish hat?

[thorn citrus]

in the future yeah

but right now the only fish I can fish and that I can't have is tuna

don't have*

sorry, english not my first language

[tacit crystal]

Don't worry, you're not the only one.

[silk token]

ok. i mined TWO flametal spires with nothing happening, this is crazy. what did the % to trigger it used to be this is unheard of that they aren't triggering

[merry pebble]

Used to be 10% per hit, now its 1% per hit

[silk token]

ok that sounds about right, a tenth less likely to happen. that's crazy! it was actually excitign to mine them before was there a reason for such a massive nerf?

[merry pebble]

They triggered far too often before, but imo 5% or 2,5% would be a bit better than 1%

[tough mulch]

Got removed

News is now they dont sink

[merry pebble]

The chance got lowered, its 1%

[silk token]

im probably doing the whole gamer chad thing but that's lame, it was excitign to mine everything you could and risk the biscuit getting that last node and stuff

[tough mulch]

Lol close enough to never sinking

[split adder]

is there any silver gear that will be really useful at max level

or can i upgrade my stuff as i desire

[tacit crystal]

For me it seems to be other way around (99% chance to start sinking).

[silk token]

i'm sure it'll happen when the first hit triggers it and im like NOOOOO and feel like it's fine, but the first 2 getting mined dry and nothing just is kinda womp womp

[merry pebble]

-# I usually also get them to sink 😄 but far later/less than before

[rare lichen]

Thats cool. I was under the impression they completely stopped sinking. I didnt realize they lowered it to a small chance

[silk token]

lol i've slept on spikes in previous runs, i did half a morgen's hp in a blink, i thought it bugged out but it died

[prime plume]

I now have a small foothold on ashlands

[split adder]

what silver weapon should i make

[nocturne wolf]

the sword is expensive but useful against the plains boss and some ashlands enemies

[tacit crystal]

There are many good options. Sword is solid but expensive, spear is super cheap in terms of metal cost, knife is very nice, battleaxe is badass, Frostner is cool.

[prime plume]

I see what you did there...cool.

[cyan zinc]

Does anyone have a favorite dedicated server host they use for the game?

[dark coyote]

I self host, do you have a second computer?

[cyan zinc]

Just an old mac, nothing else though. 🙁

[dark coyote]

hmm not sure you can do it on mac, mine is linux

[prime plume]

Nidhogg or Bersirk axes...

[soft goblet]

Is there a lore reason for it raining so goddamn much? Just trying to build up my base and it's rained three times in the last two days...nearly all day yesterday and twice (!!) today. I can't deal with the lightning and fog that hides everything below my knees

[prime plume]

the skies are crying

[fossil delta]

Not a lore reason, but all weather is pre programmed and is the same at any given time on any Valheim players world.

[split adder]

im gonna say since the water falls off of the worlds edge it has to come back up somehow so it rains a ton

dont trust me though

[fossil delta]

IE the weather is the same on day 12, day 48, day 2000, for every world.

[nocturne wolf]

It's not pre programmed, it's randomly chosen but with the same seed on each world

the devs didn't make a list of what the weather should be or anything like that

[fossil delta]

Then why can we look it up on the worksheet. It only has one set of data.

[nocturne wolf]

That data set is created with random functions that don't change between worlds unlike generation

[soft goblet]

k but just because weather is pre programmed or whatever doesn't actually explain why it happens so much. By far the worst thing about the game. Really the only thing I actually dislike

[fossil delta]

The fog often irritates the heck out of me as well.

Its why I even looked at the worksheet that shows what the weather is going to be on any given day.

[split adder]

how many onions do i need

[soft goblet]

where is the worksheet?

[fossil delta]

Thats up to you. I do 300.

[split adder]

what if i completely fill my world with onions

[fossil delta]

Its in the pins, here in this channel. The Valheim utilities by krilloid.

[light moat]

Then you might have enough

[nocturne wolf]

The meadows environments have these weights to determine how likely they are:
clear - 5
rain - 0.2
misty - 0.2
thunderstorm - 0.2
light rain - 0.2

[fossil delta]

You can do it. You also need them for recipes in Mistlands. So keep them in stock.

[kindred hare]

Any news yet ?

[fossil delta]

Nope.

[soft goblet]

what does "weight" mean in this context? what do those #s signify?

[nocturne wolf]

5 is 25x bigger than 0.2 so it's 25x more likely than any of the other options individually

but three of those environments have rain

[soft goblet]

sorry there is no way on the earth I live on that it's 25x more likely to be clear/sunny than it is to rain/storm

[nocturne wolf]

it's not

[gray sand]

light thunderstorm when? 😏

And tbh, a weather slider in World Options would be nice.

[fossil delta]

I would be all in on getting rid of the fogs. I have enough visual challenges from real life.

[silk token]

it’s always foggy on day 2 so that’s gotta be pre programmed, is day 2 as far as it goes?

[chrome badge]

Every day is predetermined weather in each biome, I've tested this multiple times.

The information on weather on the wiki is incorrect.

[fossil delta]

I use Krilloids sheets.

[soft goblet]

I will add, it takes away from the immersion when I wake up in my meadows base and it's storming and I portal way the fuck away to the plains on the other side of the world and it's storming there too

[chrome badge]

It's not exactly a planet, the rules are different.

[soft goblet]

I'd like it to feel like a different place, but when the weather is consistent no matter where I go, the world feels so small and you're reminded it's all generated/programmed

[nocturne wolf]

None of the weather is specifically determined, it's all random but with the same seed

[fossil delta]

Multiple biomes can have the same weather at the same time. They also have different weather, and I experience that plenty as I portal around as well.

[nocturne wolf]

specific environments are only forced for the intro, raids, bosses and dungeons

[chrome badge]

https://jerekuusela.github.io/valheim-weather/

[nocturne wolf]

and if you use the env command

[nocturne wolf]

This is made using the same random functions the game uses

[chrome badge]

Correct, meaning it is determined and predictable.

[lusty dirge]

I get what you mean, but as long as the seed is constant for all worlds, then for all intents and purposes the weather is predetermined

[fossil delta]

Yep, same weather on any given day, for every single world I have ever created for Vallheim. All predicted.

[chrome badge]

While it's origins are random, that is just for design ultimately.

[fossil delta]

So while randomly generated, it was generated once, and applied to all worlds.

[nocturne wolf]

it's generated when needed for each world, it's not saved in-game anywhere

[fossil delta]

It works for ALL worlds.

[nocturne wolf]

yes but it's not generated once

[fossil delta]

Then how does it come up exactly the same for all worlds?

Thats the opposite of random.

[chrome badge]

It's just generated the same way every time, using a seed.

[fossil delta]

So how does it get the same results, for every world?

[chrome badge]

It's the same seed.

Perhaps they intend/intended on having weather vary, and left it as is. It's hard to say, but it does work well enough.

[fossil delta]

So you mean the value for weather in every seed is the same value?

[nocturne wolf]

have you ever done anything with that 'seed' box when making a new world? random number generators give the same sequence of numbers if given the same seed

the rng behind weather is always the same regardless of the worldgen seed

[worldly belfry]

are there any servers I can join

[fossil delta]

OK, so the same value is assigned to every world. Ummm... sounds to me like we have been saying the same thing. Just different languages.

[dark coyote]

[steel mica]

🤔

Valheim

[rare lichen]

Theres lots of different benefits to different hosts depending on what you want. In general Valheim servers are really low cost performance wise because most of Valheim is handled client side. The server doesnt work much. So, you can just set one up for free, even on an older PC itll probably be fine.

If you want to pay for convenience of a Hosted Dedicated server, Things to consider...

• Can you access a console on the server host website?
• Can you access a FTP to upload files to the server?
• Is the server reliable or does it restart randomly from time to time?
• How good is the affiliate commission if you care about that? (0-5% is bad 40% is great)
• How much does the server cost each month?
• Can you schedule restarts?
• Can you schedule backups?

There are hundreds of hosts to choose from. I personally use ZAP. More popular hosts are G-Portal, Datahost, GTX, etc

[split adder]

this man knows too much

[silk token]

none of it except fog on day 2? cuz it’s always foggy on day 2

[split adder]

what do i do with a max level forge

[lone rampart]

Make max level gear!

[split adder]

with what resources

im broke

[low warren]

700 hours in and I only just learned that you can get the rest bonus with merely a campfire and that "sheltered" is not a requirement

[chrome badge]

Yeah just take a seat and warm up haha

[fossil delta]

Then it rains seconds before you get the modifier. 😄

[low warren]

I thought sitting was cosmetic because it never helped in other situations when I tested it

[fossil delta]

The ground makes a great chair.

[olive whale]

I’m a bit worried for the game. They are working hard on the deep north, but there a lot of balancing issues that people want like the armor slots & ashlands issues. I just hope in the 1.0 update a lot of the other biomes will still be improved because a lot of quality of life can definitely still be added. 🤞

[gray sand]

I am not worried for the game at all.

Armor slots are most likely coming, but are in no way or form needed at all.

Ashlands "issues" is way too vague.

[low warren]

I'm ahead of my group and wincing really hard at having to play the ashlands with them in multiplayer, it's truly miserable

[fossil delta]

Me either. IG has been fantastic all along at responding to consumer issues.

[olive whale]

I just have trouble getting my friends interested in the game

[low warren]

You don't need to lunge so hard to defend the game, you're not under attack

[gray sand]

This is a completely different sentiment than being "worried for the game".......

[olive whale]

I’m worried about its popularity

[gray sand]

Millions of people playing it 🤷‍♂️

[fossil delta]

Over 15 Million sales. Popular enough.

[split adder]

is it unnecessary to get fully upgraded wolf armor

[fossil delta]

Nope.

Not necessary.

[low warren]

Depends on how you play... for some people the extra armor will amke a difference, other people who are experts at the game won't even bother with metal armor

[gray sand]

Smiffe confirmed the game is balanced around you just having rank 1 armor for each biome.

[fossil delta]

For each boss as well.

[light moat]

Friendly reminder that a games popularity doesn’t necessarily correlate to its quality

[barren whale]

oh im certainly worried about 1.0

[low warren]

If you are having a tough time by just a little bit, improving armor can help. Otherwise getting better at fighting each mob type will be more useful to you

[gray sand]

How many other lies have I been told by the Council?

[lone rampart]

I'm anxious for 1.0, but less "worried about" and more "eagerly anticipating"

[barren whale]

mm yea both

i wanna see new content but there's a whole heard of elephants in the balancing room

[low warren]

I'd be worried that people's expectations are too high, and that they'll get through deep north faster than they think and be like "that's it?"

[light moat]

There’s certainly things I would like to see in 1.0 and potentially beyond, but with that being said the games already in a great spot imo

[lone rampart]

That's why you start over! Get the full experience from that first Valkyrie drop!

[light moat]

If people set themselves up for dissatisfaction, that’s on them

[gray sand]

Many people still haven't come to terms with the reality the game has a defined ending, after which credits roll and you're out.
It's not a "play infinitely" game.

[low warren]

Why are you surprised at that since it's barely even true

People haven't come to terms with ... some stuff that's not even in the game yet!

[barren whale]

my 5k hours says otherwise
i still have a bunch of projects to get around to
game is what you make of it, particularly if you're into modding/world editing

[gray sand]

How is something "barely" true?

Something is either true or false, there is no "barely" involved.

[barren whale]

nah its plenty possible to stretch the truth
happens all the time

[gray sand]

That would make it false.

[barren whale]

no

[gray sand]

Yes.

[lone rampart]

Says you, I can stretch this out for years 🤣

[barren whale]

truths can be misleading

[gray sand]

Rubber band companies wish to speak with you about how you are so elastic 😏

[olive whale]

Opinionated topics aren’t necessarily either true or false, there can be a gray area

[lone rampart]

Rubber band companies should not hear me grumble at my management team every time they tell us we "just have to be flexible" about impossible tasks or metrics.

"Yeah, well...things are only flexible until they snap."

[gray sand]

Metrics? This is America 😏

[lone rampart]

ha!

[barren whale]

damn that sucks

[fossil delta]

I used to worry abou t

[barren whale]

but yeah most of my concerns are about things left half-baked
adrenaline is the most widely agreed
skill scaling too

[olive whale]

I share the same concerns

[fossil delta]

I used to worry about how IG would handle the next biome. Now I trust them to give me something fun. The only let down for me is Ashlands. I simply hate that biome. But I adapt and deal with it.

[gray sand]

The let down for me was the over nerfing and casualization of Ashlands... and Mistlands... and probably what they will do to Deep North after it releases...

[barren whale]

i've had a good time with all the biomes, but i don't really go for Scales type challenges
when you're at the limits of what's possible, even the small flaws get magnified

[fossil delta]

Ashlands casual? Initially it was way too much, and its still a lot. You spend more time fighting in that biome than anything else, plus its just an ugly biome.

[barren whale]

if you're just playing on regular difficulty you have plenty of room to work around mechanics you don't like

[gray sand]

Fighting? In the War Biome? No... never that...

[fossil delta]

Please don't use war as an excuse. War still has a ton of sit and wait to it. Its never fight 24/7.

[light moat]

Maybe this is a sign that Ashlands is in a decent spot- some think it’s too easy, some think it’s too much

[gray sand]

"How do I stop spawns in the Ashlands?" Is the same question as "How do I remove mist from the Mistlands?"

[split adder]

so what exactly do i do with a max level silver sword

[light moat]

Slaughter your enemies

[gray sand]

Kill Yagluth and save it until Ashlands landing.

[fossil delta]

Use it on Yag, then again in Ashlands.

[split adder]

ive still got moder to go

[gray sand]

Kill her with it too 🤷‍♂️

[fossil delta]

Better options against her. I use the iron mace.

[low warren]

I hate that no matter how hard I try, I can't resist using krom

[fossil delta]

Well, 2 handers do have their own charm. 😄

I didn't make the silver axe this time, and I have been missing it.

[near furnace]

2 handed build hammer? 🤔

[split adder]

how long would it take to reach max level in a weapon skill on a twig

[barren whale]

LOL I want one of those

[fossil delta]

I did make that. Eagerly waiting for Demolisher.

[barren whale]

imagine if it repaired and deconstructed in a radius

[fossil delta]

My guess is the 15 hour range.

[split adder]

thats quite a while

[fossil delta]

It takes a ton of hits to level up to 100.

The XP charts are on the wiki.

Levelling block to 100 would probably take 50 hours.

I just use Lox.

[barren whale]

yeah it's like 333 hits from 99-100 for a lot of things, notably crossbow 💀

[fossil delta]

Lox usually come in 3's. So when you have 3 Lox trying to kill you, thats a lot of attacks in short periods of time.

So block levels kind of quick. For blocking.

Then a few fulings usually join in for even more fun.

Plus never forget the squittos.

[barren whale]

get a tower shield and skeleton surprise or piss off a buncha greydwarves at night

[fossil delta]

I always use Tower Shields.

[barren whale]

I think skill gain should be straight up multiplied by the amount of damage you deal or block

[lone rampart]

I wish cooking skill wasn't such a slog. It's SO slow to raise!

[fossil delta]

Now, if I do use TWIG, I do use a parry shield, for that multiplier.

[fossil delta]

Crafting is the worst. Cooking is in the 40's, crafting just reached 22 last night.

Now if I were to build like I used to, it would probably be much higher.

[lone rampart]

A week ago I whined that my cooking was only 20. A week of prepping and cooking and it's only to 21

[fossil delta]

Huh. I am only doing food prep for my wife and I, and she does a fair amount of it as well.

My farming is at 46. Last time I noticed, anyways.

Again, my wife does a fair amount of it as well.

We plant crops of 300 to 500, depending on what it is.

[lone rampart]

Oh yeah my farming skill has no problem going up, but when cooking? 👎 thppt.

[fossil delta]

My point is my cooking practically keeps up with my farming. Just not sure why.

Maybe burning all that meat for coal really does pay off.

You do get cooking XP for doing that.

[short stirrup]

Hello guys

I was missing for a long

But someone knows something about the 1.0 update

[fossil delta]

No news as of yet.

Just guesses.

[short stirrup]

U had a world whit ashland and in afraid of moving to preventiva corruptio

[lone rampart]

Me: "I couldn't possibly burn food on purpose! It's so wasteful!!"
Also Me: eyes chest of seeker meat

[short stirrup]

Well il try to ask the next holidays jajajajajajaa

Ty btw

[fossil delta]

Well, its deer meat, boar meat, and now wolf meat. I do keep a couple of stacks for feasts, and "whatever", but I burn the rest for coal. Which is not a waste in my mind. I need coal.

[kindred hare]

we've been guessing for yrs 😄

[short stirrup]

I was hopping this xmax will get it

[fossil delta]

Some time this year is a good bet.

[merry pebble]

We did know it will not be at the end 2025

[short stirrup]

But unluck that didnt happen

[short stirrup]

Yep

Well i just hope i dont lose the effort of my old map

[fossil delta]

My guessdis we will have it by Christmas this year. But again, thats just a guess.

[fossil delta]

You will get the new land in any unexplored area, so you should be fine.

[short stirrup]

Yes i did the same whit ashland

[fossil delta]

New creatures show up any where, so you should be fine with those as well.

Except maybe anything that may be like Growths.

I E spawn from tar pits.

I think those were unexplored areas when they were added.

[gilded slate]

@jovial lodge might be a bot

[tacit crystal]

Send DM to @dusky pivot with proof.

[split adder]

are stone structures enough to last in the mountain

[low warren]

That's probably worse than just 2 twigs, because while you get 2x xp for the parry you stagger it for a long time and it takes a while to attack you again

[graceful fractal]

is there a guestimate for 1.0?

[dark coyote]

everytime someone asks they push it back another week

its currently pushed back 1647 weeks

[low warren]

ok but when does the number roll over

[burnt glen]

no guesses

releases when it does

[split adder]

are stone structures strong enough for the mountains

[low warren]

yes but golems

[split adder]

how do i defend against the golems

[gray sand]

Parry, have good food.

[split adder]

i mean in the context of a base

[foggy glacier]

moat

[gray sand]

Just spawn-proof, because sadly there is no golem raid.

[split adder]

why are there just 2 trollfish chilling on my boat

[low warren]

moat or terrain they can't climb yeah

[split adder]

wait its one trollfish

[lone rampart]

Free fish delivery!

[low warren]

your boat was asking for it

[split adder]

what do i do with a trollfish

do i set it free

[gray sand]

You make one of the better meads in the game.

[fossil delta]

If they are over size one, save them for fish wraps.

Only size 1 works for meads.

[foggy glacier]

You can use all sizes for mead. You just have to have two of the same size fish.

[fossil delta]

How does it work if you only have enough of the other ingredients to make 1 mead? Leave behind left over fish pieces?

[split adder]

you eat them as a snack to help you finish the mead

[fossil delta]

My guess is it won't make anything. Like it made nothing when I tried to make meads with a single size 4 fish.

Meaning a perch, for the swimming mead.

[foggy glacier]

The mead uses two whole fish regardless of size.

[fossil delta]

So will it consume them entirely even if your only making 1 mead?

[foggy glacier]

Yes. One mead requires two trollfiah of the same size. They can be two lvl 1 fish or two lvl 5 fish.

[fossil delta]

Soooo... I will stick to using only lvl 1 fish.

[foggy glacier]

Fish’n’bread works the same. A lvl 5 anglerfish still makes only one meal

[fossil delta]

Yeah, so a huge waste to use anything other than lvl 1 fish.

[foggy glacier]

If you’re still using raw fish to cook, yes.

[fossil delta]

Currently, I am. Still in early Mistlands.

Even so, I'd never use anything higher on the Angler fish food.

Fish wraps will be a good back up food for the rest of the game.

[split adder]

why do drakes go flying when i kill them

[chrome badge]

Their momentum carries when they die into their ragdoll, try to land the killing blow as they fly towards you.

[fossil delta]

They do love to fly down the mtn side as far as they (im)possibly can.

[split adder]

if i dig under moders forsaken altar, will i have a base safe from golems

[fossil delta]

Golems, yes. Its under their AoE.

You have to take some extra steps for it to probably protect you from Moder.

[paper marsh]

I always wait to kill the drakes until they stop to shoot or at least slow down before shooting

[river elk]

wahts the best way to level up my polearm skill

[gray sand]

Go hit things with a lvl 1 bronze atgeir.

[summer adder]

https://tenor.com/view/valheim-troll-dance-gif-10621760382477937142

[split adder]

what do i do when i run out of arrows while being attacked by 2 drakes

[gray sand]

Spear.

[chrome badge]

Run them into the top of a hill, and continue running down the other side just a little, they should fly right into the hump of the hill, staying at a height possible for you to melee.

[low warren]

throw a spear like you should have been doign all along, coward

if your spear is broken because you're a badass, then go to a peak of something and go back down the other side, it'll hopefully crest the peak and not need to go up too high to have elevation over you, and you can use the window to run up and hit it mid air with any other melee weapon

[split adder]

i dont have a spear

ive never had a spear

[gray sand]

Sadge.

[split adder]

i guess i could go make a spear

[silk token]

did they nerf the undead army event too??? i went out and fought and killed like maybe 5-6 things and looked around there was nothing and then they retreated, it felt like less than 2 minutes

[gray sand]

Undead Army Event == Skeleton Surprise?

[silk token]

thats what it felt like

actually it was quieter than skeleton surprise

[gray sand]

Then I have no clue what you are talking about?

[silk token]

"the undead army marches"

ashlands invasion?

[gray sand]

Ohhhhh.

Haven't had that one 😁

[silk token]

i know you haven't probably seen a raid announcement in years ;D imagine playing with raids

[gray sand]

Right 😏😉

[solar plaza]

Maybe he means the ghost or drauger event?

[gray sand]

Nah. He clarified it was Ashlands raid.

[solar plaza]

Ah gotcha

Missed that

[gray sand]

All good.

[fossil delta]

I had the event once. It was under whelming. Its much harder just walking around in the Ashlands. I thought maybe they were just caught up fighting and killing stuff out in my woods, but I did not find any more of them out there.

[gray sand]

I did turn them back on last run, but since I mountain base I get only a few specific ones.

[thick verge]

[timber marsh]

uh guys is it normal for a valheim world to hit almost 100gb

[fossil delta]

None of mine. Think my biggest is 1.5 Gbytes.

[timber marsh]

oh the backups were duplicating

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they do a few back ups, so the entire folder size gets pretty big.

Especially when you have 30 or so worlds like I do. 😄

[copper karma]

The Water Wings are supposed to be the worst trinket but they're the only trinket that ever gets procced.

[compact basin]

where the dev blog at shit been 2 months

[light moat]

January isn’t over yet, good chance we’ll get one soon

[odd flare]

just hit 1k iron scraps on hardcore no map no portals!

so a platform over bonemass is the best bow training in the game? just spamming wood arrows?

[tacit crystal]

You could easily train it on T.W.I.G. too.

[odd flare]

Does it yeild the same experience?

[thorn citrus]

If shot on twig yes

[tacit crystal]

It's the archery target that grants less xp but you can retrieve your arrows from it. But similarly as from mobs you cannot retrieve them when shooting T.W.I.G.

[odd flare]

Twig it is

[fervent parcel]

What's the higheset damage I can do to a tree of myself? without using a troll or something.

Right now I have the black metal pickaxe and from what I gatherits best for chopping wood.

I also have the bear outfit equiped. I want a bear cape so I can be warm.

With the elder power going I can one shot some trees.

[low warren]

a future axe from ||ashlands|| ||Berserkir axes|| + elder + bear outfit should be the max? I thinK?

[fervent parcel]

yo lets go. I need to get that ||lol|| axe!! they look cool.

Thank so much. Once they add tree taiming thell be no stopping me.

I toss em food, I dont seem them eat but when I sneak...they see me.

[tacit crystal]

You mean black metal axe? Jotun Bane has higher chop damage and Ashlands ||Berserkir axes|| even higher.
Although using battleaxe for woodcutting allows you to deal no lowered damage when hitting multiple logs/trees.

[low warren]

it's a crime that the battleaxe doesn't do the most damage given how slow it is

[prime plume]

Holy vineberry

[tacit crystal]

Given how well it hits all targets inside the hitbox and staggers enemies more surely it makes up a bit for not having as high damage as 2h swords.

[woeful dew]

No word on the update huh?

[prime plume]

I got lucky and trapped two 1 star askvins :>

[dusky anvil]

So

The forest moved, spawned a bunch of enemies

The Shaman poisoned and killed all of my Boars

I hate this game

[prime plume]

2 star/1 stars?

[dusky anvil]

No, but they were a royal pain to tame and breed

[prime plume]

ah, yeah, the time sunk fallacy hits hard.

[low warren]

We're talkin trees

[smoky saddle]

The feather cape is awesome but do not EVER fight gjall without a fire resist mead if you have it on

[low warren]

Or have a ton of armor maybe

[tacit crystal]

The "very weak" modifier means you take 2x damage, even with high armor you still take lots of damage while wearing the cape.

[near furnace]

just go root armor and feather cape. 🙂

and have firehazard turned on

[sage dust]

Hello , how can we find viaducts in mistlands im post elder , skipping the crypts made a karve and sailed to mistlands

[tacit crystal]

By luck.

[thorn citrus]

Walk along the shoreline

[tacit crystal]

They can be found anywhere, not just shores.

[sage dust]

alr ty , and any other structures that i can destroy with bronze axe or other and get tons of iron so i can skip to reach silver tier?

[static forge]

is bear/troll armor good enough for the swamp? ive already explored it a bit, but im getting my butt kicked right now trying to get my stuff back after crossing the ocean to a new swamp

two 1 star draugr and an abomination are camping my corpse

[tacit crystal]

Both are good, but full set of bear armor grants you slight weaknesses to physical damage types which can prove more fatal if you're not as experienced enough. You can mix the armor pieces tho.

[static forge]

would full troll be better then if i wanna go with a full set rather than mixing

generally i avoid bronze/heavy armor bc i dont like the movement decrease but would it be worth it to make?

[tacit crystal]

Each bear armor piece grants 7 armor vs. each troll armor pieces 6 armor.

[tacit crystal]

Bronze armor is too low armor increase to make it worth it over bear/troll armor IMO. Although helmet doesn't slow you down at all.

[static forge]

thats been my general opinion too. ive just been frustrated trying to get my stuff back, and now both my troll and bear sets are stranded with my corpses

[tacit crystal]

Hmm, no surplus troll hide left?

Or bear hide.

[static forge]

oh i could make new troll i guess. not sure if i have enough for both myself and my friend

thanks for the advice

[tacit crystal]

Good luck for retrieval. 👍

[near furnace]

best tactic is usually just to run like a mad person 😄

[prime plume]

@tacit crystal what's your tip to finding many a vultures

[median ibex]

I just had 2 Serpent Trophies drop back to back; unfortunately wasn't able to grab one of them.

[tacit crystal]

Exploring the Ashlands area to find nests, or mining/woodcutting near shore to alert those flying over water.

[safe flower]

plus bronza armour takes 7 years to farm and craft

[prime plume]

do you think the spear could also attract them?

[bright crag]

total of 2 months exactly since a word from the devs btw

they be taking a vacation the loong way

[tacit crystal]

It can help, or using harpoon.

[tacit crystal]

There is still one week left for January.

[bright crag]

so they usually take the Whole January off? and also December?

[tacit crystal]

Nope, they're returned from their vacation already.

Have patience.

[prime plume]

I've seen worse, games just stop getting updates entirely.

[tacit crystal]

Word from Devs blog is not guaranteed monthly.

[bright crag]

Me too, I bought Hidden Deep years ago and it was abandoned same with many other games

[prime plume]

just give em time, their people too. just go on about your life and play other games for the meantime.

[bright crag]

I mean I'd like to play the Valheim deep north before i die is that too much to ask for man

[tacit crystal]

There is chance we get more info this week.

[prime plume]

No, but being impatient doesn't help your case, there's people who've been waiting for gta 6 for god knows how long, and I was part of the folks eager for hollow knight silksong, just go do something else, and evidently they'll be word and you'd have had fun playing other games and made memories on them too.

[bright crag]

I guess

[prime plume]

awesome! you go out there and have fun! 😄

if your needing something to do, If your an anime watcher, Frieren Beyond Journey's End got a Season 2.

if your into sadge anime with a hint of slice of life go with To Your Eternity, season 3's still ongoing I think?

[quasi cove]

Did the developers mention that there would be more updates? I see that the last one was six months ago. Are they working on something slowly, or is there nothing coming?

[prime plume]

they're preparing for 1.0 iirc and I don't know when the last update was so i couldn't tell you that, that's all I know personally.

[near furnace]

there will be more updates 🫡

and our last update wasn't 6 months ago. look in #valheim-patchnotes

9/9/2025

[bright trench]

Will there be a devblog this month? Or is the update already in the final stages of development, since there was no devblog last month

[near furnace]

there wasn't any devblog last months since we all vent on vacation and no point in posting that in a blog post 😄

"hi, nothing new to report since we all are winding down for a vacation until early january 2026"

[prime plume]

as I said ppl just get too excited, not in a bad way. but to their own detriment of putting energy into "waiting" rather than just doing something else and just expect there to be an update, and to not look at it like a hawk.

[near furnace]

yeah 😄

it's not a bad thing

but people should wait to party-hard until we actually give a release date

[odd jasper]

Can't wait for the PlayStation players to start playing 🙂

[near furnace]

yup yup

[smoky saddle]

What exactly are the parameters for wood decay? I know that wood floors eventually do go green but there are some parts - e.g. wood cross beam along my house's roof - that dont decay at all.

Does it not decay when attached to something?

[prime plume]

from my own time playing, wood decays over time due to weather effects but anything indoors are protected by the roof and only the roof would decay. though once you enter plains and gain tar, it'll help provide roofing the ability to withstand weather too so it doesn't look old over time, same thing with flooring (stone and above) imo the only reason I dislike the withering effect is it just looks off to me. ocd type stuff.

[candid basalt]

Roofs don't decay

[prime plume]

do they not? guess I never really looked up at my roof ;3

[smoky saddle]

Ive had instances where some part of wood on our base just dont decay at all. We have some wood beams along our stone stairs that havent decayed since we put them there

[prime plume]

yep, that's intended. so long as it has a roof it shouldn't decay? (correct me if I'm wrong)

[smoky saddle]

It doesnt have a roof

Its outside

[near furnace]

nothing decays more than 50% damage

[smoky saddle]

I know, but some parts just dont take rain damage at all

[prime plume]

I feel that's a "I see it but I won't register it's existence" type of issue.

so long as your not a ocd fixer like me.

[smoky saddle]

Im only asking because I want to put a wood trim around our in-progress castle, I just dont want it turning green

[near furnace]

roofs don't

and some angeled wood beams don't 🤔

[prime plume]

also how has everyone else experienced dodging in game? It's taking me forever to get used to dodge rolling to mitigate damage XD also, any tips on confronting fallen valkyries? they look very menacing.

[formal torrent]

You're far enough into the game to encounter valks but haven't learned how to dodge roll...?

[prime plume]

Yes 😄

[fading shore]

Bows Work fine for me

[formal torrent]

Can you call rq ill show you

[chrome badge]

Have you built T.W.I.G. yet? It can help with dodge timing.

[prime plume]

I get how you do it, I'm just not used to the case of "hey roll and you won't take a lick of damage" I'm used to parrying more often than not, which is why I die to starred charred warriors.

[formal torrent]

Okay so you know how with a parry you wait until its about to hit you? Dodge like half a second before you would parry

[prime plume]

my brains more wired to parry, I'd say. but back to valkyries, so just bows then? I'll figure out their attack patterns myself, just looking for gear wise tips.

[formal torrent]

I mean yeah bows are the best way to fight them

I'd say if you're trying to learn how to dodge, start against trolls, then bears

They're easy to practice against and if you can consistently dodge bears you should understand the timing enough to dodge anything else

[tacit crystal]

I like crossbow and spear combo, bows work great too.

[gray sand]

Crossbow that shoots Spears when? 😉

[candid basalt]

Mistlands. They are called "Ballistas"

[tacit crystal]

Basically.

[steel mica]

Im bout to release the wrath of my asksvin army

[tough mulch]

nothing will survive that

[prime plume]

kinky

[lone rampart]

Save two for breeding purposes

[prime plume]

how rare are 2 stars? I have yet to encounter a 2 star askvin

[silk token]

1%-ish?

[lone rampart]

They only appear at night…which is also when everything is especially keen on killing you. So I don’t know exactly how rare they are but it’s a pain to find and tame them

[prime plume]

a challenge. me likey.

[lone rampart]

May the gods bless this quest, brave warrior

[prime plume]

I will brute force this and update you, in the meantime say hi to my two 1 stars in #screenshots gimme names for the OGS 😄

I would also like names for...6 boars?

[lone rampart]

I’ve never tamed asksvin so I’m not even sure what I would name them… my boars are silly things like Hamilton or Porky

[tacit crystal]

Asky, Aksis, Aksy.

[lone rampart]

Elizardbeth. Elizardo…

[prime plume]

2nd name...ahem...historically...uhhh...yeah.

[tacit crystal]

Edited just in case.

Didn't remember that translation in English.

[prime plume]

the edited name, my mind immediately went "What are you doing Step Aksis"

[sage dust]

I managed to find a viaduct on the shore line as you said and also destroyed half of it and got 30 iron like 100 black marble and 5 copper some loot went into the sea rip , so what do I do next shal i go back to my base in the meadows or make a new base? in the mistlands? if so where to build it? on the shores of the mistlands or deeper inside

[fleet citrus]

playing the game for the first time, better be good

[sage dust]

Its awesome I am addicted to it 😭

[lone rampart]

You are in for a treat my friend!

[formal torrent]

Check DMs

[paper marsh]

Better be good. OR ELSE...

[steel mica]

You're bound to die once, I fought tooth and nail to GET my first 2** star asksvin

I was just so focused on not dying and keeping that asksvin from despawing

I fought sweat and blood to get that bad boi home 😭

I would honestly recommend going full magic if you're gonna hunt down a 2** asksvin

The trollstav and staff of wild is just too op

[paper marsh]

Most OP staff though is staff of protection

[prime plume]

I'm melee mostly but I have some tricks in mind.

[steel mica]

Dont underestimate the mobs when its night time

You're gonna get swarmed one way or another

[steel mica]

Certain builds yes

I go heavy magic so the combo pairs really well

But my main is still melee

[paper marsh]

I'd say any build. Being able to tank infinite damage is just too good no matter what you're running

[prime plume]

only being I couldn't parry was charred warrior

a starred one atleast.

[paper marsh]

Assuming it's not a timing issue, best get a better shield or eat more health foods

[silk token]

i found i could SOMETIMES parry 1 star warrior with berserker axes and decent 3 health food, and sometimes they broke me and took 2/3 hp

probably just need a legit shield and good health food and you can do it

[paper marsh]

I successfully parry 0 star charred warriors on vhard every time (equivalent of 2 star normal difficulty warrior), though I do run carapace buckler and 2.5-3 hp foods

[silk token]

yeah lol, 2 stars you need maxed out shield and hp, i did that a lot during flaming sword quest, its like oooffffff owwwww ok we’re ok each time you parry lol

seeing that stagger meter be a centimeter from maxed out XD

[paper marsh]

I know bonemass is all the rave for tough combat, but imagine if we got Fader power earlier. Double adrenaline and -50% stagger sounds like it could put in some work

[silk token]

id use fader exclusively as soon as i got it

[tacit crystal]

Evasion mantle is also good way to increase your chances to parry Reto.

[near furnace]

you need both skill level and a apropriate shield

[paper marsh]

True, and appropriate health

I usually find block level is the least relevant, most people have it semi-low

[abstract warren]

How many people here play with graphics mods?

[prime plume]

I’ve survived on 2 stam and mashed meat (vulture meat kind)

evasion mantle?

[paper marsh]

Yeah that might be tough to parry starred fellas with. But at least starred enemies aren't tooo common

[paper marsh]

Trinket (the things needing adrenaline to activate) unlocked in plains. Gives +50% parry armor

[prime plume]

I’m at 80 block too so…definitely gonna have to swap to 2 H 1 S 🙁

adrenaline gain is kinda…meh? they build too slow imo

[silk token]

80???? dang you do some grinding or what

[paper marsh]

Builds pretty fast in Ashlands imo because there's constant fight. Plus if you use carapace buckler you get 10 adrenaline per parry

And Evasion mantle effect lasts 2 minutes unlike most trinkets

[paper marsh]

I read it that way first too, but I think he meant his current weapon/shield only has 80 block armor

[prime plume]

I sat around with the lox bracelet with 6 twigs in a concave and I watch youtube.

[paper marsh]

oh nvm

[prime plume]

No No, you read it right.

[silk token]

thats one way to play the game

[prime plume]

just change the hotkey to something you can stick something heavy on. for me it’s the numpad keys. and my handy dandy jbl speakers…(not sponsored cough)

[silk token]

tbh id sooner just use dev commands and go back to playing the game than sit there like that

[paper marsh]

Block does level very slow, but I like the natural progression of skills. Actively farming them does break the fun for me, especially because I feel I get a bit toooo powerful with high level skills

That's also one of the reasons why I swap weapons every biome, rather than stick to one weapon and get it to lvl 100

[prime plume]

yes and for that time I didn’t feel like playing actively so might aswell entertain myself and still get some gains.

[near furnace]

back in the days, players use to find a rock, and beat the crap out of it for hours..

calling it "training dojo"

[prime plume]

is that why there’s a rock emote!?

[light moat]

LOL I remember that

[near furnace]

no

[tacit crystal]

No, that's Rocky.

[near furnace]

the Rocky is ment to be found ingame

[light moat]

The pet rock!

[paper marsh]

DO NOT HIT ROCKY

[tacit crystal]

F YEAAAHH.

[paper marsh]

He will get sad

[prime plume]

The couple o items I had to dev in was the maypole and yule tree…cause I sad I wasn’t playing during those times.

[lone rampart]

2000 hours of gameplay (not all of it post-Rocky) and I’ve yet to find the lil guy

[prime plume]

I just learned of him and rocky will be found in my world and be worshipped.

[silk token]

out of season furniture is also blasphemy to me

[lone rampart]

As he should be!

[silk token]

if you can dev in a christmas tree then christmas isnt exciting

[prime plume]

well technically I was a week or two late for christmas

maybe 3 actually

[tacit crystal]

They are seasonal, maypole becomes buildable during Midsommar eve (June-early July) and Yule tree during December.

[prime plume]

yes, and I started sometime in January this year. so I was behind on both

[tacit crystal]

Looking forward for the next April Fools.

[prime plume]

it’s gonna be a fake rocky

[paper marsh]

I liked the summonable bears

[silk token]

deep north “release” on april fools?

[lone rampart]

Imagine if they drop 1.0 on April 1 but no one believes them 🤣

[paper marsh]

They add a biome just below Ashlands called "dweep Nort", consisting of one small island with snow on it and a blue 2 star greyling

[silk token]

on april 1st they should announce 1.0 will happen on december 31st and say “as promised it will release in 2026” 😂

[prime plume]

that would be funny also got a question ‘s it standard to have delay even if u host through a third party like bisecthosting? played on there just cause I still had the subscription

[prime plume]

I actually found the tiniest mistlands on my world with no mist just a smol island.

[silk token]

personally ive never had a good multiplayer server connection, near unplayable with other people around

[prime plume]

guess it is as I thought which is it’s the game not the server

[timber marsh]

Gigantic hammers are the best weapon in the game you can't change my mind

[prime plume]

personally I love greatswords

[timber marsh]

I love the mist walker because it literally looks like a lightsaber

Even makes the noise when you slash

[light moat]

I rarely have delay on my multiplayer servers 🤔

[timber marsh]

It's not the actual lag. I have like 30ms. It's the synchronization between multiple players

[paper marsh]

Only multiplayer I've really done was playing with a friend who lives like 2700 miles away. No server hosting site, just him hosting his world. Felt mostly smooth to me

[timber marsh]

Two players you don't notice. But 9 during the fight with yagluth got laggy

[paper marsh]

oh yeah a lot of people will probably end up pretty rough

[timber marsh]

With 9 players we defeated him twice just for fun

[paper marsh]

Lag is the debuff for having so many vikings

[timber marsh]

It made a rtx5080 lag had to turn down graphics

[prime plume]

This is likely what I’m talking about, moving around is fine but when fighting it takes another 1-2 seconds after it “landed” for the damage to start ticking

[timber marsh]

But then I realized it wasn't wasn't graphics causing the low fps

The game will stop, and wait for the other players to synchronize

[timber marsh]

Yeah it makes parry impossible

It's why I died to a furling army

[prime plume]

I could reliably play mage when ppl are around

[timber marsh]

Especially if you want to use a 2 handed weapon

[prime plume]

but melee? out of the question

[paper marsh]

Yeah mage is definitely the easiest playstyle. Both skill and lag wise

[timber marsh]

If you spend the time farming...

We just now got to mistlands

[paper marsh]

Doesn't take that much farming to make a bit of eitr food

[prime plume]

makes u feel like it’s 2009 playing adventure quest worlds

[timber marsh]

Still trying to build a base there

[paper marsh]

Mistland bases are always so cool. I genuinely don't know if any biome (I guess we only have one left) can top mistlands

[timber marsh]

Can't just use the hoe anymore... THEY CAN FLY

[prime plume]

I myself just landed in ashlands, and can confirm my legs are ashy and my lips are chappy.

[timber marsh]

Do campfires still give you rested in the ashlands...

[prime plume]

haven’t tried yet.

[lone rampart]

Yep

[timber marsh]

Bro wat

The ground is on fire

I found the Ashland and went close to it and was like nope

[lone rampart]

We stop at some dvergr camps and rest up by the campfire and it’s like…how is this relaxing right now?

[prime plume]

I can already see it now ppl’s frames are gonna suffer everytime it storms.

[timber marsh]

We figured out the fix for that

Render mod and a boot.config option

Now if we can get multi-player lag under control

[prime plume]

haven’t figured out how to mod through bisecthosting so my everything is vanilla

[timber marsh]

R2modman

The server Is still vanilla

[prime plume]

Ye I don’t know how to add server mods yet.

[lone rampart]

Bisect is super mod-friendly. That’s the host I use

[prime plume]

the built in mod installer doesn’t like me.

[lone rampart]

Oh I never tried that. I upload them directly to the files

[prime plume]

??? teach me the ways, I don’t wanna have 15 fps during a storm in ashlands

[lone rampart]

I’m at work right now so I can’t really give specific instructions. Bisect has a lot of tutorials online though

[prime plume]

@timber marsh do you think mods could fix the synchronicity?

[paper marsh]

I think there's some mods to optimize the game, both general performance and multiplayer-related? But not sure how well they work

[prime plume]

that’s my only gripe about the game honestly, I’d love to play with ppl but I damn well know I’ll be pissed if I died due to the “lag”

[tough mulch]

Can confirm it was laggy

[timber marsh]

Our server is 100% vanilla. I just did performance mods to make it run better and a custom player model for personal reasons

[lone rampart]

I long to play a server like an MMORPG but I start stuttering with one other person

[lone rampart]

Not how percentages work You can’t be 100% vanilla and also have mods

[timber marsh]

I lagged so bad I died to a furling army... game crashed. I didn't respawn in my bed. Was randomly in a swamp!?

That sucked to get out

[timber marsh]

The dedicated server and game rules are purely vanilla.

The mods are to make the game get better fps.
The vrchat player model does not change the gameplay in any way.

[lone rampart]

They are still modifications to the base game. It’s just logistics

[timber marsh]

If it's that bad you can choose to keep items on death

U still lose levels and get sent back to spawn

[split adder]

does it immediately spawn moder when i place the third egg

[timber marsh]

But where's the fun in having to ask a friend to escort you vip style to your grave?

[lone rampart]

No you have to interact with the altar to crack them

[timber marsh]

No, you can pose for a group photo first

[lone rampart]

I hereby demand all my death runs involve a red carpet and grapes vineberries 🤣

[timber marsh]

So in our server theft and murder is encouraged.

But if you burn the bread? GULAG

[tough mulch]

Lol

Guys I forgot which bench has the largest spawn prevention radius, do you know which one it is?

[timber marsh]

The punishment is you have to refill the whole woodshed for coal

[barren whale]

artisan table is 40m, the others are 20m

[tough mulch]

Do I need it upgraded?

[barren whale]

nah

[tough mulch]

Noice, does upgrading increase its radius?

[split adder]

how close to my base do i need to be to trigger an event

[tough mulch]

Im thinking of gathering some stuff in the ashlands and maybe putting one of those down should help a bit with the hordes

[barren whale]

generally yes but it'd be cheaper to put down a bunch of them instea

[timber marsh]

No u spam workbenches and campfires everywhere till shit stops spawning inside your trench

[barren whale]

^ campfire is cheapest

you just lose the wood when breaking

[tough mulch]

Honestly my go to method is overruning ashlands with asksvins but I cant do that in other players worlds so i need alternatives

[barren whale]

doens't have to be lit to block spawns tho

[lone rampart]

Nope

[tough mulch]

Not for bases I just take over fortresses, more like fast prevention to gather resources is the goal

Gausten, and ashwood, definitely must have for some good builds

[split adder]

how do i go about finding a spear that i accidentally threw into oblivion

[tough mulch]

Off a mountain?

[lone rampart]

Wait until nightfall; it’s a little easier to see the sparkles then

[timber marsh]

Well the whole area of my base I plan to build anyways. And you can easily see the radius

[broken kraken]

Are we gonna get a Deep North uipdate this month or are they skipping it again?
