Hey guys, i know this question must have been asked a lot of times but is there any “possible” release date for new zone Deep north? Haven’t played in 2 years

lone rampart
#

Nope

#

is there a way to instantly recharge a forsaken power

#

We don’t know if that’s the case, personally I think that’s a bit ambitious- but you never know.

Wherever your friend heard that, it was not any sort of official or verified information. We truly don’t know at this point

rotund parrot
#

I am pretty sure Smiffe is already playing on a working version of the deep north, he seems very quiet so I assume it is not extremely far away from release

near furnace
#

false. Anythning anying "hears" are just either a troll wanting to trick you, or someone heard it from a friend who knows the cleaning lady at irongate. and she heard someone sneeze a date that could be actual

I've been testing stuff since we started trying to adjust how deep north biome snow "covers" the top part of the map

fyi there’s a spreadsheet pinned in this channel where you can see how much hp you need to parry any mob with any shield/weapon and all kinds of dorky math that could explain and help a lot

What would be the point? Most people probably don't even go over 500 days in a given game.

any estimate when ps5 launch is?

Only this year, no more is known.

#

Did the rates for finding copper decrease? Or am i not remembering right? I got 50 stone before getting more than 1 copper from the nodes

#

Seems a bit extreme

that's unusual for sure

Lol nevermind.... the copper node mixed in perfectly with a stone... Ive been mining stone lmfao

#

Is it possible to kill a serpent 1v1? On a karve with a finewood bow?

merry pebble
#

Indeed it is 🙂 and its really not that hard

unborn dew
#

It seemed like he 3 shotted my boat lol. ‘Luckily’ i landed in the swamp right on top of an abomination, some skellies and draugrs, so the killed it for me while I yoloed home lol

#

So there is enough time to shoot it before it lands 3 hits?

#

Cuz 400hp aint nothing

fossil delta
#

I do it pretty regularly. You have to hit it 6 or 7 times to kill it, IIRC.

#

With the fine wood bow.

copper karma
#

@unborn dew You should be luring it to land to better collect its parts anyway.

fossil delta
#

Anyone have some good strategies for killing Hares? I have yet to unlock the springs, so can't do traps yet.

copper karma
#

One-shot with crossbow. Chase with knife.

fossil delta
#

My sword seems to do fine when I chase them, but that still takes a lot of time.

#

I can one shot them with the bow just fine too.

copper karma
#

What's "a lot of time"? 3 seconds?

fossil delta
#

So my big problem is just how much time I have to spend to accumulate enough of their meat. Once I can do traps, that will be much less of an issue.

I can usually craft at least 100 from the material I gathered just doing swamp normally on normal rates, materials that I have no other use for which should get you close to 100 hare kill unless you miss a lot

fossil delta
# rotund parrot Fair enough

Like I said above, once I get springs, and can make the traps, hares become much less of a food issue. Just, for whatever reason, I have failed to unlock springs. We do have a forge table, so I probably need to craft something, or need to unlock Eitr.

should i bother upgrading root armor or just go full carapace

or both

# merry pebble Its the eitr 🙂

Thats what I am guessing now. So not surprised. We have plenty of flesh and sap, just need more cores. We have 7, and I could just tear down the forge and process some.

#

Hmmm... yeah, I think I will go do that.

#

Even if I can't process a ton of it just yet, at least I will have the unlocks.

timber marsh
#

wait my root armor is missing i think someone took it

#

when you have a dozen players...

fossil delta
#

Its why they make the personal chests available. Only you can use them.

timber marsh

oh i just didnt have it in my room i thinkj

frozen fable
#

call me crazy but i actually like how the Bronze armor set looks, I decided to craft it instead of killing trolls this time around, even though troll armor is more efficient

timber marsh
#

we have a little village with a tavern at spawn with rooms, but everyone also built their own base

fossil delta
#

Over all, I prefer the bear set now. I used to prefer bronze.

rotund parrot
#

Since the update I tend to go for bear armor with the bronze helm, no negative effect and a non negligeable amount more armor than just troll. The resource also seems easier to get

if youre making a base in the plains are stone walls and a raised base pretty much required?

GL nathan. let us know how it goes

split adder
#

do i need any iron for construction in the mistlands

hard sluice
#

i dont know how much i want to spoil this...

#

iron is always useful, but mistland doesnt add much stuff that needs it. you dont need to bring stacks.

idle storm
#

I'd bring a full stack to have enough for a stonecutter and a blast furnace with some left over. The stonecutter to dismantle the black marble structures (much faster than mining giant skeletons) and the blast furnace to smelt black metal since i usually go for mistlands with a plains border and you'll need it for sap extractors.

One thing I am doing is working more on the building process as I play this playthrough, I built a two story house before killing Eikthyr, and the house has an upstairs area for crafting and made it large enough for a workbench, forge, and chest storage. The downstairs has the cooking area, the cauldron and a sleep/comfort area. I am also going to try to do the farm differently than usual by having a trim area around the house and plant my carrots in there

Hey, so how do you control the raft? I'm on controller

#

It is not going that fast at all

1st thing, you need to use the rudder.
it took me 2 mins to figure that one out when i was a beginner..

#

raft is slow, even with the wind behind you, and sails all out

dusky anvil

#

theres 3 speeds. 1st is paddle, 2 others are sails, which need to have the wind in the right direction

the raft is more an emergency ship than something meant to carry you around fast.

#

speed 1 is paddling

dusky anvil
#

Anyways, playing this game some more, and my only gripe so far is the lack of variety for soundtracks

#

That could also be a problem for difficulty depending on the second boss coming up

nocturne wolf
#

the second isn't too much harder than the first if you're prepared correctly

dusky anvil
#

Good or bad?

nocturne wolf
#

if you've upgraded the armor that's perfect

dusky anvil
#

Nope. Just level 1

#

Getting all that bronze takes ages

nocturne wolf
#

have you at least made forge improvements? the build pieces needed to upgrade things

dusky anvil
#

Yes

nocturne wolf
#

then upgrading the armor doesn't need more bronze

#

you don't have to max it out, but don't avoid any trolls you find

dusky anvil
#

I meant to say that, my bad

#

But trolls are not the biggest concern rn

Man, dying in this game sucks

#

Also feels like teleporting is not that great when you need to explore (and the items you want to teleport can't be

formal torrent
#

Have you tried not dying

#

Also maybe build a forge base near the copper and tin

pure otter
#

I’m thinking about the intended gameplay loop of metals. I don’t really understand the devs intention with the weight and traversal mechanics. They don’t want portaling, they probably don’t intend what I in fact do which is bring the raw material for a forge setup to my new area to make a little smelting hut and make everything on site and then abandon the leftover chest?

Surely the intention isn’t to take a really difficult to find resource, make it impossible to carry more than a bit at a time, then shlep back and forth from the middle of some continent to your boat, then when your boat is full you sail half way across the world very slowly to your base where you can finally make something with it?

Am I doing something wrong?

formal torrent
#

Also build carts. They make transporting heavy stuff way easier

pure otter
#

Right so my question is: is it the intended gameplay loop to build a new base per resource location?

formal torrent
#

There isn't really an intended gameplay loop haha

#

If you like having your base in the meadows, then keep it there and do long trips. You can enable portal everything in the world settings to allow you to take metal through portals

pure otter
#

I mean, obviously the devs have design intentions, the game design of value in is generally quite good

formal torrent
#

Or if you don't mind making a new base, make one in the black forest, mountains, etc

pure otter
#

I’m not really sure how to make my question clearer but I think I’m not making myself clear. I am an experienced player, I know mechanically what my options are.

I am trying to think about what the devs intend for me to do, how they envision their game progressing as players move through it

formal torrent
#

I understand what you mean but I genuinely don't think there's an "intended" way to play

#

They give you LOTS of options for a reason. So you can pick what you want to do

#

Portals, boats, the ability to build in any biome, carts, etc.

tacit crystal
#

One can either gather resources and get them to base via boat, or make small outposts to handle the resources at the locations they're found.
Nowadays I like to take some copper/bronze with me into swamps and build small outpost with upgraded forge and smelters to handle the iron while gathering resources simultaneously.

rare lichen
barren whale
#

im sure devs are aware 5 years in, so its safe to call it intended (until Ashlands)

you can ignore it and do what you want though, things are not very locked down

pure otter
#

I’m debating what I “wish” the loop were. I get the no portal thing encouraging adventure, but maybe I want to tune the weight and stack size of metals so I get a lot more per run? Like one big boat adventure per tier is maybe fine?

tacit crystal
#

There is also ways to increase carry weight. If you've found Haldor you can buy an item from him and there is another trader in swamps that sells ingredients for several potions, including one that helps increasing carry weight temporarily.

# paper marsh Anyone have suggestions for challenges to make a playthrough a bit harder / more...

I tried max raids, no map, and noportal.
Max raids made me turn raids off moving forward xD
No map and noportal though... that became how I play Valheim, I loved it so much.
No map no portal (Immersive Mode) is like a deeper Valheim experience. You have to learn the systems in a way that you dont have to in a normal playthrough.
Personally I absolutely love nomap noportal Valheim.

That being said, I dont take the nomap literaly. Its more like "nogps"
Ive found that players genuinely enjoy making maps themselves and sharing maps in discord, its a bad idea to take it away from them

#

Theres this mod called "nomap printer" that makes it so you can see the map, but only if you are next to a cartography table with a certain level of comfort. And you dont see where you are on the map.
Thats my absolute favorite way to handle nomap

paper marsh
#

I did try no maps no portals, and I found making a map fun. The whole playthrough was very interesting, though I don't think I have the patience for it right now

I've been playing max raids for a while. I enjoy combat, and there's some really creative base defenses you can set up

rare lichen
#

Thats the impression I got from max raids. Its cool if you want to make the whole game defending your base, it can be quite fun.
That being said the raids are so constant that its hard to do anything else jajaja

#

Respect to you for tolerating it 🫡

paper marsh
#

True, I think "more" would be a better middleground for those that want it

In my experience though majority of valheim players are more of the "no raids, or build impassable walls to ignore raids forever" breed

shy marlin
#

me personally i don't find raids to be all that interesting

#

i think the best raid in the game is the hunted raid tbh

unfortunately as is, I'm pretty sure the came would have no way to distinguish between a you directly and purposefully killing a dverger, versus a dverger in an area you just happen to be close enough to have loaded being murdered by a gjall or seekers

rare lichen
#

The game doesnt blame you when an enemy kills a dvergr near you

#

But if another viking does, then yea
The dvergr get angry if a player owned thing hurts them

trail pelican
#

well that's an interesting point--the way their hostility works now--I was just thinking of the way the existing raids work when they have a "kill x mob" trigger condition; environmental hazards killing the mob in question ALSO triggers the raid

#

being a possible event--maybe they could work a way in that it instead only triggers off if you've AGGRO'D the dverger?

#

so it basically "bootstraps" the existing system, which mostly on angers them if you deliberately target them (or occasionally accidentally hit them/their stuff with a stray)

rare lichen
#

I like the idea of a "You are being hunted" except with Dvergr, and only for players who kill Dvergr xD xD

right, hilarious

paper marsh

Honestly, would be pretty useful. Wolf raid is already nice for taking out plains enemies, summoning an army of dvergr to take out mistlands/ashlands enemies sounds fun af

dvergr could be easily spawned in an aggro state for a raid

paper marsh
#

I mean currently all creatures are spawned in an agro state during raids

rare lichen

Yeah they are spawned with

Every monster in Valheim has a field, which controls the global key the world gets if that monster is killed
Most monsters dont use that field. But stuff like bosses, trolls, surtling, bats, etc they all do
Realistically they would just add a new global key for once a player has killed one dvergr

I don’t kill dvergr. Radioactive greenish balls and pufferfish do

I like solve the dvergr problem with some solid axing. BattlingAxe

paper marsh
#

radioactive greenish balls are so fun for base defense

trail pelican
#

in fact of all mobs, dverger uniquely die easily

#

because they are not 'friendly' with the rest of even their own native biome 'fauna'

#

on top of course every other 'biome faction' being hostile

#

so you could easily never kill a dverger, before even stealing a component crate even through one of the crafty methods which could let you avoid killing a dverger, and a dverger just die to a random common seeker attack on one of their outposts

Dvergers are absolute units, they can easily handle the fauna if there's more than 2 of them. It's the lava they really struggle with

#

I think the only mtp changes have been swords

silk token
#

also, the big things is no unit collision or whatever its called that makes battleaxe better in situations

#

the thing where you swing a sword and only hit the mob right in front of you but not the mobs slightly behind it who you could normally hit

#

battleaxe does not do that goofyness

silk token
tough mulch
#

Battle axe is great, pretty much my first weapon and still is before getting my hands on berserkir

#

My only problem is that the pushback is too great that when you do a 3hit combo the 3rd hit always misses, so you have to time it so that only the third combo hits enemies at times

paper marsh
#

For me its often the 2nd hit that misses

Fixed by pinning enemy against wall or at least a slope tho

tough mulch
#

Slopes... My enemy, bad terrian really does get in the way of combat

#

Ehe, ptsd from mountain wolf

#

Another problem is trees, fight too close and you are stuck with only the first attack animation, well its pretty avoidable so not a big deal

barren whale
#

yea fighting uphill is way too good

#

decreased knockback and better hitboxes

paper marsh
#

Yeah I hate mountain slopes. Always just go ranged to deal with wolves and drakes (unless I see an opportunity to melee a drake)

I'm kinda new to battleaxes but I do concur ^

Sprinting helps push you forward when attacking? I Didn't know that

I do a trick I call, "leading enemies to flat land."

silk token
nocturne wolf
#

jumping before attacking stops an attack from slowing you at all, until you land at least

paper marsh

#

the trick with battleaxes IMO is treating the secondary attack as the 'main' attack

it's much faster, sets them up for the longer windup swings with staggers

and yeah spear is unplayable in multiplayer

paper marsh

Honestly, the default arablest should be available in forge

#

Isnt the throw the reason why its op

barren whale
#

depending on your bow skill
sometimes you can just use a spear

silk token
#

i love spears cuz then i dont have to have a bow, and thats inventory slots no bow no arrows just 1 spear

tough mulch
#

Because the exp gain is high on the throw.. Or was it the other way around

paper marsh
barren whale
#

no bc of arrows (if you mean bow vs spear)

silk token
#

and nothing kill gjalls faster than standing under and chucking it

lone rampart
#

Bow + arrows
Arbalest + bolts
It’s the same amount of inventory

paper marsh
#

Bow + 1 stack of arrows = 2 slots

Crossbow + 1 stack of bolts = 2 slots

only thing is crossbow fires slower so you need fewer stacks, if anything

tough mulch
#

Isnt there a bow that uses hp

barren whale
#

bows have much better utility than crossbows so i bring them
spear has costs less inventory so they're a worthy option

crossbow is not bad for sniping one-off enemies but even that rarely justifies the inventory slot for me
its a cool weapon but the execution falls flat in many ways
i get the impression IG treats them as an afterthought

paper marsh
tough mulch
#

At this point im using crossbows for the cool factor not for anything else

#

If only I can run, jump and reload it would be a nice qol, I mean dvgrs do it, why not me

paper marsh
#

imo crossbows are pretty good. They're just overshadowed because bows and magic have similar functions and are ridiculously overtuned

tough mulch
#

Why bother with snipers when you can drop a nuke on ur enemies

barren whale
#

if crossbow could stay loaded when put away it would instantly become relevant and super fun to use
you could combo off of other weapons during stagger windows and shit
but rn it just sucks lol

paper marsh

Because nukes get boring

I thought thats why the trolls become our enemies so we dont get bored too soon

I'd welcome a nerf to gemmed bows and magic 100%

i still say nothing kills faster than melee, if magic and bow users want to be safer and weaker thats fine

I’m ok with my super-secret magic no-touchy tactics

#

🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿 🏃‍♀️

silk token
#

hehe, i did enjoy vine staff when i used it, very fun to position and play around it, like a pinball minigame

barren whale
#

depends on the enemy hp pool but i've found magic is usually the fastest at 100 skill in everything
fastest over an entire speedrun has been shown to be spearmaxxing Rocky

#

have you tried harpooning enemies and dragging/tethering them in your roots?
its disgusting lmao

silk token
#

i cant say ive gotten magic anywhere near close to 100 even when going pure magic

lone rampart
#

Oh I’m no speedrunner. If anything I’m more of a slothcreeper. Take my sweet time savoring every last bit

silk token
#

but like… for example 2 hand sword parry thrust dead, does magic kill things faster than it takes to do an alt attack with slayer?

#

cuz u can 1shot asksvins and warriors pretty easy, or parry thrust morgen 4 times, its pretty quick

barren whale
#

it depends on the hp pool basically
for things that get oneshot by surprise attack, obviously that's the fastest way
but the rest of the enemies in the group will now be on you

paper marsh
silk token
#

but like.. if i bust open a charred fortress door and theres 5 charred standing there, id rather thundering zerker than fireball them

barren whale
#

yeah jormundling tips the scales further towards magic unfortunately

#

fireball does close to 100 blunt in an AOE so you can often unload your eitr bar on the gathered enemies before going melee/bow

silk token
#

maybe ill give magic a serious go again, im wanting to do fists run which.. good time to switch to magic when biomes stop having your weapon

barren whale
#

realistically minmaxed magic users will also have a melee/bow to fill downtime and charge jormundling with
but this is like
post-defeated-fader shit so what's the point 🤣

silk token
#

idk. imean you watched my video yesterday, can fireball do that??

barren whale
#

depends on the enemy clustering
if i were taking that fort i'd dump eitr bar on the gathered enemies and focus on the spawners with a melee weapon

paper marsh
#

full magic just feels unengaging to me

barren whale
#

by the time i chopped the spawners, the roots or w/e would likely have killed all the enemies since they were pretty sparse

#

optimal combat is probably a little bit of everything though

silk token
barren whale
#

100% agree I much prefer melee

split adder
#

are trinkets significantly game changing or can i easily continue to ignore them

shy marlin
#

You can ignore them

paper marsh
#

I do really like the fins of destiny trinket tho

barren whale
#

i think tl;dr is roots trivialize every boss except fader, in a way that melee doesn't
lightning axes can deal with crowds but storm fang does the same thing from a safe distance with 0 downtime
melee is decent in situations where you can burst or parry + burst oneshot, but is often much harder to execute for little DPS increase

#

I would love to see magic roots and storm/root fang somewhat nerfed to compensate for their ability to deal damage for free

paper marsh
#

I feel like dead raiser and dundr are fine balance wise

But the other magic weapons... cheese town (imo)

shy marlin
#

Fracturing is fine

paper marsh
#

I mean imo the whole issue tends to boil down to range.

Most the game can be played at range without ever going near an enemy, which makes it effectively impossible to die

shy marlin
#

Fracturing is like a close to mid range kinda thing

paper marsh
#

Fracturing might be okay, it's been a while since I used it

shy marlin
#

Really want all of the bits to land so have to be close

#

Fracturing might be goated in deep north if there are large single enemies

paper marsh
#

I do expect fracturing to be pretty nuts in deep north. Its fire damage gets pretty high when upgraded, and pair that with growth bombs and you got yourself a brute melter

barren whale
#

the only thing melee's got for it is lightning and root effects, base DPS in melee is very low compared to magic

root is absolutely stupid at high eskill, the root thwack damage is far too high
fracturing is okay but the gains per level are nuts
dundr is fine.
ice staff is okay, it gets a massive buff with jormundling and high eskill
embers used to be busted but that was compared to things like himminafl, not lightning bow/axes

paper marsh
#

ice staff is just infinite cc which is a free kill against single targets

barren whale
#

L4 Fracturing has over double the dps of Embers, just no aoe/range

shy marlin
#

Also why doesnt embers make a shit ton of noise man lol

barren whale
#

ice staff's main issue is low DPS and you are basically CC'd yourself while using it
so yea single target, great for bosses

paper marsh
barren whale
#

compared to other magic yeah

paper marsh
#

Last I looked at it I believe 'ice staff does more damage than embers

barren whale
#

with 100 skill, jormundling, and Fader buff you get refunded eitr almost as fast as you use it so there's that

#

embers is 258 (120 blunt + 138 fire) per 35 eitr, 0.82s firerate
frost is 36 per 5 eitr, 0.22s fire rate
so embers is significantly more, but frost is more eitr-efficient and that compounds with adrenaline/jormundling

#

in practice embers is vastly superior for mobs and frost is competitive with melee on single targets

paper marsh
#

Yeah I'm thinking eitr is usually the limiting component

But I suppose I haven't really done the calculation of how much eitr regen you're losing out on by spending more time dumping your eitr bar with frost

barren whale
#

its a difficult thing to model because of varying regen rate factors
embers is extremely low risk compared to frost because you have no vulnerability window while using it

paper marsh
#

I still feel like frost leaves you less vulnerable in a 1v1

But with either weapon its pretty easy to stay safe

barren whale
#

but yes eitr is the limiting component for most magic
which is why jormundling further unbalances things

#

also while we're here, lv4 frac is 504 dmg (144 blunt + 360 fire) if you land all pellets
which shits on frost/dundr (and everything else besides Wild) for any single target that doesn't resist fire
infinite fracturing during PTB was truly broken

paper marsh
#

yeah its gonna be truly nuts in deep north

barren whale
#

wait till we get there
everything's gonna be fire resistant or immune due to the cold

silk token
#

i still like.. wym melee is low dps when i can literally parry and thrust something for 1k damage

paper marsh
#

Are people saying melee is low dps?

barren whale
#

max eskill roots do 200 blunt
if you parry something and 5 roots hit, that's 2k
and you can be wielding the Slayer while you do it for another 1k

silk token
#

yes miker keeps saying it lol

barren whale
paper marsh
silk token
#

ok so if you've cast FIVE roots, and parry a thing, yes it can do more damage quicker than melee

#

but if i run up parry thrust dead. period. is that not faster??

barren whale
#

depends on the fight

silk token
#

ok. the fight is ONE THING

#

here it comes

#

ping thrust dead. a second thing! ping thrust dead

#

you JUST watched me killing 4 or 5 things in like 2 seconds in that video i posted, seriously you think fireball can do that faster?

barren whale
#

for example Reto is a cakewalk with magic but if you're clearing a fort you want lightning to thin the crowd

#

you can apply lightning with axes (which is awesome) or bow (kinda lame) to equal effect
if every guy in your video was piled up at the front, a couple fireballs or roots would clear them in about the same time

#

idk
i prefer melee myself which is why I'm saying magic/ranged is too rewarding for the amount of risk and skill it takes to use

dark coyote
#

the fact that you can spam spells is broken, should only be able to cast one, maybe two per fight

silk token
#

if i go to a test server and dev command my magic to what my axes is in that video you're telling me it will clear mobs faster.

paper marsh
#

Are you not able to summon multiple bosses at once anymore?

#

Ah you just have to wait for the first to finish spawning

so just for the first 6 bosses, one of which you have magic for, and for reto.

barren whale
#

these are just examples

#

for crowd clearing lightning will be faster

silk token
dark coyote
#

why are they in the ashlands then?

barren whale
#

cuz lightning is more OP than most staves
its unfortunate that it can be applied reliably from a bow

#

but the raw single target damage of Wilds or even fracturing is very very high
berserker axes are comparable to fracturing in raw dps but both get gapped by Wilds
and axes have the long ass chain before you get the heavy last hits

Just want to say, what I love about this game is that it's like an immersive sim. Just sprinkle a few mods in and suddenly it's a romantic experience where even just sitting in a chair by the water is actually enjoyable gameplay ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

silk token
barren whale
#

no, wilds is already better with like 2 vines
that you can summon 5+ is just bonkers

#

keep in mind fracturing is much safer to use than committing to the full axe combo, you just left click from medium-short range

#

this is also compensating for eitr regen, the upfront (burst) dps of fracturing is much higher than axes
fortunately you can put lightning on em (or green gem for single targets)

paper marsh
#

I'm sad that root prevents enemies from turning

barren whale
#

meanwhile with Wilds you can melee normally while waiting for eitr to regen
not many downsides

obtuse laurel
barren whale
#

yeah the root effect is kinda OP in itself, it shouldn't bind bosses or minibosses
or the time should be drastically shortened

silk token
#

so wiki says roots do 70 blunt 20 poison. 180 damage. im pretty sure i can thrust with a slayer faster and do more damage than that. so im still confused

#

180 if there's 2 roots

paper marsh
#

I want a deep north bear set with blood fists so I can go 1hp super vulnerable to all damage types BUT I do hella damage

barren whale
#

that's the impact of the root projectile
the root then proceeds to twack every couple seconds and do 200 blunt (assuming max skill)
for 20 seconds

#

its absurd

silk token
#

since when are the roots' damage is effected by magic level?

barren whale
#

a lot of this goes by unnoticed, the same way max skill bow isn't complained about
because most people don't max their elemental skill or bow skill
doing so already requires pretty cheesy gameplay, like trapping a golem

barren whale
silk token
#

and also if you're saying 200 then the wiki is wrong because wiki says 70 blunt 20 poison for roots, 20 blunt 20 poison for staff projectile

barren whale
#

ideally the way to fix it would involve rehashing the skill scaling somewhat
its not nearly so bad when your axes are like 40-60 and your elemental skill is 10

dark coyote
#

at wwhat skill level?

barren whale
#

you can test it pretty easily, load up a new character, raiseskill all 100, and try out the weapons

shy marlin
#

It’s also worth noting that the vines do more dmg on hard / vh

barren whale
#

i didn't know this LMAO Rocky

shy marlin
#

Yea, they get the dmg multiplier that enemies do

barren whale
#

that's messed up
rich get richer

why are all new games North America?

that at least makes sense, since they usually get clobbered and don't do as much dmg

It makes them pretty pathetic on v easy

lime salmon
#

Why no pvp servers? PvE boring af

dark coyote
barren whale
#

i think Wild roots would benefit a lot from a max summon count of like 3 (or 1 per level) instead of 10
and probably halved HP and time to live

assuming the current skill scaling is kept

#

there's a neat Arena World thing i've seen but never actually played on

Often times I can find a clear spot by sailing all the way around, but I usually just run through the mistlands to save time

dark coyote
#

I've never seen that, aways plains/bf

I usually sail pretty far to find a big mountain, so I suppose by the time I find a vegvisir the closest Moder spawn might be one of the far out ones which is why I encounter a lot of mistlands

at this point, i would probably enjoy the challenge of having moder surrounded by mistland, but it's probably annoying for most.

I remember the first time going to mistlands my buddy crashed the boat and then a Gjall showed up.

I went running into the mistlands and ended up going for like a 3-4 minute run distracting the Gjall and dodging other seekers, while he got the boat unstuck

Exhilliarating and terrifying at the same time

hard sluice
#

i got such a scare yesterday. i was sailing back to my base (no portal/no map) because i was running out of food, i took a wrong turn into the mistlands, got stuck with my boat there, with a gjall, seekers, then a soldier.
no rested buff, out of fire resist meads... and so far from my base, it would have been a nightmare to recover.
i managed to fight them off, but while i was doing that, my longboat capsized ..! (first time i saw this, it must have been too close to the shore)
(i got the nails before they sank, i was ok)

paper marsh

Good thing you had natures fire resist on hand (water)

hard sluice

btw, is there a way to bring back a capsized boat on the right side?
at first, i placed a bench, kept it repaired while i was trying to build a floor under it to catch the nails.
i ended up just jumping on it as it was breaking down, and catching the nails

paper marsh

like its upside down? Sounds difficult to flip around, I wouldn't try

hard sluice

now i regret not taking a ss, but i was a bit overwhelmed at the time 😛

So that's my followup question

#

Should I make it or no

#

Not sure how much I'll be using it in planes etc

shy marlin
#

Battleaxes are great wood choppers 🙂

barren whale
#

its alright
not the best silver weapon imo

so if you have a tree farm with trees in close proximity it'll be better than 1h axe

whats your axe skill level at (not woodcutting)

#

My main weapon skill is Polearm. Currently at 50

tacit crystal
#

And it has higher stagger with both attacks.

barren whale
#

if you wanna keep leveling axes its probably worth the mats to upgrade
you could also branch out and try other weapons without losing much

abstract warren
#

Yeah and I've a good amount of silver to spare

barren whale
#

if this is your first playthrough you can experience the frostner/silver sword
they're standouts in that biome imo

tacit crystal
#

CBA is also nice weapon against ||Vile (unbjorn)|| due to high spirit damage.

abstract warren
barren whale
#

you can get anything from 0 to 30 pretty fast, but now's the time before your polearm leaves everything in the dust haha

I made frostner

The CBA looks frickin' badass too

if you can afford it make both Rocky

you'll need decor for your base eventually

Frostner has always been my favorite

@nocturne wolf random: Do fist weapons override your normal punch damage with their own, or is it the slash damage PLUS your baseline blunt damage?

nocturne wolf
#

I can’t test right now but I’d be very surprised if they add damage from unarmed punching, they should be like any other two-handed weapon

K. Because punching skeletons with Bear Paws and sometimes number grey, sometimes number white. 🤷‍♂️

barren whale

👀 interesting

Wiki says skeletons are neutral to slash so idk where the grey is coming from

I don't understand how the obliterator works exactly

Any item?

not entirely sure, but think so

i largely use it for the stuff i have insane excess of

troll hide, etc

abstract warren
#

Yeah I have some stacks of bear meat

#

No use for it

shy marlin
#

🤔 i think for bear meat it's more return to just let the meat turn to coal when you cook it

#

rather than obliterate it

abstract warren
#

Right

But still how does the obliterator work? I put the items in and then what?

Nothing happens

I finally broke down and modified the death penalty. lowest skill loss, just drop gear.

That's fair

I've been playing on only drop unequipped gear 🥴

whatever is fun for you

paper marsh
#

For me a lot of the world modifiers are just a tad outside the range I want, so then I make my own rules

For example for death penalty I delete world/character

I had no idea we could lay down stylishly on the lounges at Hildir's camp. Was that always a thing since the Hildir update?

permadeath sounds crazy to me. I'm not sure I can handle that. hah

#

i think the death penalty is very harsh. i suggest to new players to turn it down.

paper marsh
#

Yeah I really torture myself with it. Permadeath is like one of 20 optional challenges I play with. Makes the game engaging for me though

green reef
#

it doesn't typically bother me until I'm playing with friends and we tackle a boss without being prepared and die 5 times each

hard sluice

I plan to get to doing perma death runs. thats how i played minecraft.. always vanilla hardcore, random seeds.
I'm just not there yet with valheim.

paper marsh
# hard sluice i think the death penalty is very harsh. i suggest to new players to turn it dow...

I have such a hard time deciding whether its harsh or not. Like the skill loss is annoying for sure if you die A LOT, but if it's just once in a while I feel like it's alright

The real connundrum though is the getting your stuff back. That could be as simple as hopping through a portal, running up, and clicking E, or it could be having to redo your last 5 hours of progress to build new tools to make a new boat anhd gear to travel to where you died and fight off the hordes that killed you. That really comes dwon to preparation though, which I feel like its good that the game encourages you to do

hard sluice
#

it's punishing, especially for those actively trying to lvl slow skills, like farming, cooking, crafting

arctic garnet
#

I like being able to freely die because sometimes shit happens.
I don't really touch combat difficulty or anything else.
Except raids, though, purely because bat raids alone are that annoying. I wish I could selectively disable those.

green reef
#

my worst death in this no portal run, was dying on my first silver pit, with a wolf in the pit, and no frost resist at my bed.

paper marsh
#

I am surprised that they don't have a death penalty of "Keep entire inventory/equipped items, zero skill loss"

green reef
#

I think the non-combat skills should be separated out and not reduced on death

little swift
#

ngl i feel like they should either rework how the hoe works or make a better one later in the game because im gonna sit for around 1 more hour making the ground even 😑

A lategame one could be nice

i think i remember a dev mentionning they wanted an ability to make certain skills 'primary' and not lose as much. But there are other devs that dont want to change too much how it is now.

its my favorite armor

Tough choice

I definitely like the ask cape

green reef
#

its really great when you are basically just chilling in the rest of the world. I dunno if I want it for towers/EF or not

hard sluice
#

i like the armor a lot because it makes the spear, which has been my main weapon for a few runs, a bit better in ashlands.
its still not the best, but not as bad.

#

i love the 'skoll and hati', but i only have been in ashland hard mode, and their parrying wasn't good enough.
i'll test them again when i get back there, on normal.

green reef
#

I typically stick with Mistwalker

#

though the Jade 1h Flametal sword might be a good option ttoo

arctic garnet
hard sluice
#

it was a tough choice to move on from the mistwalker on my 1st time. the flamemetal gemmed sword is a bit better, in my opinion.
But the champ of ashland is the FM mace, i think.

green reef
#

what gem on the mace? jade or iolite?

hard sluice
silk token
#

i thoroughly enjoyed thundering zerkers with evasion mantle this run, being able to parry tougher enemies i didn't miss having a shield, zerkers can parry 1 star askvins, warriors, with just 3 health food no evasion mantle proc

#

i didnt honestly run into any 2 stars somehow soi didnt get to test evasion mantle and zerkers

hard sluice
#

i think the jade fits better, because the mace is slow and it doest trigger the lightning as often

arctic garnet
#

Li'l sad there ain't an ashlands atgeir

shy marlin

himmin afl does just fine in ash

hoping for 3 more elements and filling in the weapon choices with North

also, atgeir is piercing, not great for ashlands.

arctic garnet

Yeah, true, ashlands is probably blunt central much like the swamps.

my first landing was with atgier, it was butt

Aah.

#

I reckoned charred warriors would be weak to blunt

paper marsh

'tis a fair reckoning

But an incorrect one

#

I guess being charred makes a skellies bones less brittle

shy marlin
#

irl charring generally makes things more brittle tho 😂

#

valheim physics be valheim physics

arctic garnet
#

Aaah

#

Guess they just don't want 'em pushed over by blunt like the swamp was

#

I wonder if the lava blobs are weak to blunt.
But I guess that's moot considering they explode.

paper marsh
arctic garnet
#

Huh

shy marlin
#

I remember in an ashlands walk and talk vid, they really wanted to make sure that the ashlands was not "Frost damage" lands, and I bet they also considered not wanting it to be entirely "Blunt damage" lands

What do you guys think about the best (reworked) forsaken power currently.

I think all of them are great and comparing it to old, it's a huge improvement.

Bonemass and Moders forsaken powers are easely the best currently, mainly because there so useful on many situations.

Queen is the worst forsaken power currently but I wouldn't say it's terrible since it's really only good for mages. Just that it doesn't pair well with other playstyle. Also queen's elemental resistance is technically the best since ashlands has plenty of poison shooting enemies.

chrome badge
barren whale
#

yag easily the worst
the rest are best in their own niche which is pretty cool, i think queen is weaker due to fader + jormundling existing

vast lily
chrome badge
#

To be fair bonemass + any shield is extremely tanky.

#

Might as well go for the parry optional shields.

vast lily
# barren whale yag easily the worst the rest are best in their own niche which is pretty cool, ...

Yags power is pretty good for farming, but the slight damage increase is something I've never hear people talking. It might pair well with the new trinkets that increases damage and it's pretty nice to boost all party members with damage. It is slight but you can stack the dps.

I'd still say Yags power is better than queen's because you can use it with any loadout. Just that it's not great. Though big improvement compared to all elemental resistance it previously had.

#

Now here's something no one talks about? Elders forsaken power is pretty underrated right now.

barren whale
#

queen's is nice for very specific mage bullshit
elder is goated now solely for mining iron lmao

#

yag's is technically good if you are stacking dmg buffs because they all seem to be multiplicative

#

so between yag, trinket, set bonus, and blood gem you can get over 2x your base dmg (blood is doing 1.6 of that but still)

#

Elder is 60% mining dmg

#

I'm still sad that moder doesn't work with asksvin cape

#

they gutted that thing

tough mulch
#

Bro i thought it worked I was running around with it thinking moder works on it

barren whale
#

idk, find a straight area and test it
never made a difference when I tested

vast lily
#

Speaking of which I think elders mining speed is really good for swamp and mountains because mining them takes a while.

Also I've never hear people talking about the 30% health regen increase. It's not as good as bonemasses resistance buff but it stacks well with the healing regen trinket from black forest and it serves as a decent for tanks before getting bonemass. It might stack well with a regen healing potion and bear sets from black forest and plains (though I wouldn't recommend as bear sets take extra damage) but I feel like regen for it can make you last endurance fights longer.

barren whale
#

yeah it's hard to rec bear unless you're running bonemass rotation

tough mulch
#

Saved me quite a few times

vast lily
#

I would say elders is mainly for builders and miners power but the healing regen is also decent for combat.

#

Though finally Fader. Even though Fader is late game, I feel like adrenaline increase is really good for any trinkets and stagger resistance makes you not getting stunlocked and much like bonemass stacks incredibly with shields.

I tested out faders power with a towershields vs a 2 star charred warrior and it didn't break the stagger. It's really good.

Though despite being late game, it might be good against deep north creatures as there gonna be hard.

Once I choose stack amount with the keyboard and press "OK" it should just go in my inventory not mouse.

Also then there's eikthyr. We'll it is good on early game as it makes you explore. But once you get Moder powers, you practically don't need eikthyr all that much. (Though eikthyr and Moder can combo well with each other if you're with friend)

If I'd go with ranking forsaken power, id go with this:

S tier: Moder, Bonemass

A tier: Fader

B tier: Elder

C tier: Yagluth, eikthyr

D tier: Queen

I think that Eikthyr listing is gonna get an oceans worth of backlash once the Valheim discordians wake up

Not necessarily my personal preference, but what I feel is reasonable. Though of course its subjective
