valheim-chat

[flat stag]

oh, world modifiers, thanks

[frozen fable]

this is so awesome, decided to check the Plains out while still in iron armor and found Yagluth's Vesvigir and even better, it's on the same land mass a short distance away from the Hildur portal I put down

[flat stag]

i alt+f4'ed a few secs after generating - you think the map will be ok with no bugs?

That is - i pressed Start, the first time, found out i didnt see difficulty settings, a few secs in i pressed alt+f4

Now, second time it generated the world fully, but not sure if my first alt+f4 might have created any probs?

[paper marsh]

Think I did that once with no problems. Could always redo to be safe tho

[flat stag]

as i said, second time it generated the world fine - i am guessing it's fine?

[frozen fable]

you can just write the seed down and generate it again

[flat stag]

good idea

feels good to be back since spring 2024

[nocturne wolf]

fissure aoes don't deal damage until 4 seconds after they spawn though

[flat stag]

farming skill? awesome!

[shy marlin]

2 different things can occur at the same time

or 3 or 4

[flat stag]

oh, damn - new music in the meadows, or is it just me?

[flat stag]

crafting skill is also new for me

[past spoke]

hey guys my clan and i are looking for a war realm/server

[hard sluice]

i like that crafting skill. its fun to get a +1 of what you just crafted. its a nice surprise.

[past spoke]

hang out, pit our clans together, plan raid nights, etc

[hard sluice]

me and smiffe will take on all of yous ! right Smiffe?!
/s

but seriously, i'm curious about the pvp.

[past spoke]

hell yea!!!!

[flat stag]

I really appreciate that this game welcomes solo play. Multiplayer is fun but there is something special about not having anyone but yourself to survive

[past spoke]

we wanted to run an open server but there are security issues in doing that

if anyone is interested or if they already have such a server pm me!!!

[flat stag]

Cool, they did something to the music since the last time when you enter/exit houses

[pliant hatch]

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

[flat stag]

do mushrooms regrow on the same spot?

[barren whale]

yes

[fossil delta]

Everything "wild" regrows in the same spot. Even dandelions.

[flat stag]

cool, thanks

[fossil delta]

Dandelions are not only good for meads, now, but also for animal feed, later. So an alternative to using seeds for your crops.

[vestal stirrup]

So I figured out I can play solo find but when I start a server without crossplay, it freezes within 5 min with and without someone else playing on the server at the same time. I dont have modes, I reinstalled the game, same issue. Dont see an exception in the player.log file. Not sure what to try. Dont have any other issues on this machine

[fossil delta]

The help channel is better for these kinds of problems.

#valheim-help

[pliant hatch]

Have you tried with crossplay?

I've seen this issue pop up a few times over here and often it was solved by turning crossplay on.

[fossil delta]

If they are on console, do they have to use crossplay regardless? Because it did sound like they are still on a console.

[fallow edge]

do vulture eggs respawn at the random vulture nests? or is the onyl way to get more to kill vultures?

[fossil delta]

Find more once you destroy it. At least, I have not seen the nests respawn.

[vestal stirrup]

Friend and I both use PC - Suppose I can try to turn that on quick and see what happens

[fossil delta]

Strange. I've never had to use cross play on PC, for my wife and I. So its very weird its acting up for you.

[vestal stirrup]

yea last time we tried was last summer - same thing but not as often

[fossil delta]

and neither one of you use mods?

[vestal stirrup]

Friend does. He deleted them. same result. Im trying without him playing, just solo on a server, still freezes

[fossil delta]

Maybe a clean install of Steam?

I had to do that once, years ago.

For Valheim.

[vestal stirrup]

same results with crossplay

[vestal stirrup]

Does that require you to reinstall every game too I assume?

[sharp bluff]

no

[fossil delta]

No, your library stays intact. Its just their UI that reinstalls.

[sharp bluff]

stash the games in an extra library, wipe steam, re-add the library
just make sure you nuke all config and cache files

[fossil delta]

That probably does not hurt, but I didn't have to do all that.

[sharp bluff]

well, easier to do so on windows i guess
linux can be a bit iffy when it comes to hunting down stragglers xd

[fossil delta]

Nuking the files is a good idea, though.

[fossil delta]

I meant the back up saves of the game files, nuking the other files is always a good idea.

[sharp bluff]

aye

configs tend to persist and are a pita

[fossil delta]

They certainly can be, which is why I always keep on eye on what the best scrubbers are.

[sharp bluff]

apt purge file-name xd

linux got some funny tools

[fossil delta]

But at least they have them.

[sharp bluff]

ngl, having the ability to find and super delete files and all related stuff is so nice

[fossil delta]

Better than having to hunt down and probably pay for the tool that does it. Certain OS' do a crap job by default.

[sharp bluff]

microslop is advanced maleware

[fossil delta]

😄 I didn't feel the need to name any, because if you know, you know.

[sharp bluff]

valheim works surprisingly well on proton

does it use drx12? cant even remember

[fossil delta]

I keep telling myself I am going to leave Win behind for ever. Is there a version that I can actually remove windows entirely with now a days? Been years since I last looked.

[sharp bluff]

depends on what you need
certain stuff, such as technical drawing software, doesnt work on linux

[fossil delta]

Bummer.

[sharp bluff]

but if you only need a good OS and dont need that or kernel level anti-cheat? works fine

[fossil delta]

I still use versions of CAD.

[sharp bluff]

so am I, via teamviewer

but it doesnt run on my brick

[fossil delta]

I do it all myself, on my rig.

[sharp bluff]

yeah, you are dual booting at best

[fossil delta]

Yep.

I could give it up, I am retired, but I enjoy it.

[sour furnace]

lol. I was recovering my grave in the ashalnds, and I was surrounded by 2 askvin, and they both lunged at me at the same time, and i dodgerolled, and they lunged at each other for a kiss.

[last sleet]

Guys what’s a good set(armor and trinket) to pair with atgeir

[gray sand]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[last sleet]

Facts

[hard sluice]

in the current last biome, theres a very good armor that boosts piercing dmg.

[sour furnace]

mountain trinket would prob help, either one actually

[vague bear]

Hello! If i create a world now and progress until Ashlands, when Deep North att release, will him incorporate to my world?

[gray sand]

If you stay out of the top 20% of the map you will be fine.

[vague bear]

So i just dont explore the north

[flat stag]

should i build my first real base close to the place where you swap powers?

[gray sand]

Yes.

[vague bear]

Ty so much

[gray sand]

If you use portals, it's worth having a protected area near there, yes.

[hard sluice]

you will probably like having your base not too far from the water

[flat stag]

I can't send screenshots here..

can i post imgur link - is it allowed?

[hard sluice]

theres a screenshot channel.

[pliant hatch]

Yes, as long as you don't embed the link

[green reef]

fader got me again at the 1/3rd life left mark.

[flat stag]

#screenshots message <-- I like where i stand (yellow arrow) but maybe i should just terraform the place near the power-swap-thingy? since its so close to water, anyway

[hard sluice]

It's a nice spot. since you may use that base for a while, i think you should pick the location that you like the most. if you need to walk a little to change powers, it wont matter too much

[vestal stirrup]

I did update something and after 10 min, its still working fine. I'd tell ya but its almost embarrassing. Going to see if I can play 30min w/o any crashes

[hard sluice]

i cleared the current game on hard mode, with my base being at a pretty 'bad' location. it didn't matter that much in the end.

[flat stag]

a nice spot where i stand on the map?

[hard sluice]

sure. but it might be a bit far from the next biome. i like building on the edge of those 2

[flat stag]

i could just build a better base later

[hard sluice]

sure !
its fun to build bases. In the worst case, you will spend time building a base that you may not use that much. but its fun to do so... it cant really be a waste of time. thats how i see it

[tired path]

Some explain to me why the hell is Fader immune to Spirit damage

[hard sluice]

calls smiffe

[barren whale]

actually that's a fair point

i think if he weren't, his fissure attack may affect himself (it does fire and spirit, both of which fader is immune to)

so it could be a technical simplification

[flat stag]

every time i imagine a perfect base in a perfect place it ends up being something shobby somewhere random 😄

[tired path]

Then why the hell does the Fissue deal spirit damage? So it kills every other mob even faster? It's not like it needed more damage

And the player is immune to Spirit regardless

It's easier to make an attack not deal spirit damage at all instead of making the Ashlands boss immune to the most logical damage type in the whole biome

[barren whale]

it could be to pop bubble early, bubble takes spirit damage

i don't design the game though 🤣

[tired path]

I guess it's so that you don't obliterate it with the Silver Sword? 25k HP wasn't enough?

[green reef]

3x on fader. down to about 20%. oof

could be about dying when rested wears off too

[pliant hatch]

Perhaps to deal with the skelly summons or a troll summon of the player?
After all, those are undead.....

[barren whale]

fun fact summoned trolls are immune to spirit

[split adder]

you can summon a troll

is that powerful

[green reef]

fader is dead!

[split adder]

you are now faderless

[hard sluice]

Congrats !

[barren whale]

its pretty good but is also a meme at the same time
ever played Ashe in overwatch? its kinda like that

[split adder]

about how many infested mines will i need to search for a vegvisir

[hard sluice]

in my current world, i did enough mines to get 34 sealbreaker fragments, and i found 2 stones.

it must be around 10% in each mine. i think i just got unlucky.

[green reef]

someone posted a whole write up on reddit. but they were mostly complaining about the plains

[hard sluice]

i think i heard a dev mention in an interview once that they know its a bit difficult to find yag/the vesygir stones for the plains.

[green reef]

over 400 in game days on this pt with faders death, be a few more to get the head on the stone

[pliant hatch]

It's possible they're higher up on a ledge too.

I've had that with two of my play throughs.

So when exploring the bigger rooms, don't forget to look up upon the walls to see if they're there.

[split adder]

what do i do when im beginning to have too much seeker meat to contain

[green reef]

make another chest

start leaving it at the dead bugs grave I guess

I wonder how I should "finish" this no-portal no-map world. I think I need to do something like make some portals. lol

[gray sand]

Burn it over a fire for coal.

Not the Obliterator.
Literally cook it too long. You get cooking exp and 1:1 coal conversion rate that sometimes doubles based on cooking level.

[hasty citrus]

I guess that February 2nd 1.0 launch is looking more and more unlikely

[green reef]

I would imagine you'd see stuff on the public test first.

hmm, didn't realize ashland skeles roam at night, 1* bear just killed one. lol

[solar sedge]

Anyone here able to help me rollback a save manually on my PC. Its not for valheim but another game and I need a little help

[lone rampart]

|| Only after Fader is slain. ||

[split adder]

i feel like the queen is about to be on the opposite side of the world that ive explored

[steady crow]

who wants a duo for a world

[tacit crystal]

Someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 might.

[steady crow]

ty

[gray trout]

im down

im new to the game

[rigid lantern]

lmao found two leviathans right next to one another

took a pic but no perms

[tacit crystal]

You can post pictures in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977

[rigid lantern]

oh sweet

done, was crazy

[tacit crystal]

Embed perms are not enabled for regular users in most channels.

[shy marlin]

Just hit crafting 76 😎 🤙

[light moat]

Thats insane lol

[rigid lantern]

the craffting or the leviathans?

that is nutty crafting for sure

[light moat]

The crafting, but the leviathans too nice find!

[tacit crystal]

Lots of building and crafting. 🏗️

[light moat]

Scales is cooking 🧑‍🍳

[tacit crystal]

No, he's building.

[shy marlin]

#screenshots message yea we gettin there

ngl prolly gonna hit 100 when it's all said and done

Got most of the crafting skill from an earlier build but

[rigid lantern]

i tend to kinda plateau with all my skills because I die alot

[abstract warren]

Greydwarfs are so dumb lol

Shaman trying to poison my blast furnace

[night stirrup]

Finaly some good swamp👌. Alrdy saw 4 caves and just started with one so far 🔥.

I was looking 2 days for that 🤣.

[green reef]

have they ever mentioned Steam Achievements over the years?

[gray sand]

When game is finished.

[hard sluice]

i spent so much time in this discord, and watching valheim dev videos recently, that i cant remember where i heard what...
but didnt a dev say not long ago that they intend to add a lot of achievements? there was a discussion about preventing cheaters to get them too.
its all blurry...sry

[silk token]

i'm as blurry but also had the strong impressioin achievements are a hard yes

[lone rampart]

I remember reading the same thing. Achievements yes, cheaters gonnna suffer. Pretty sure it was in here somewhere

[silk token]

i remember saying about... hardcore achievemnts? or hard mode? or things that involve world mods and the fact that there would be no wayf or the game to know you didn't change them, so those wouldn't be a thing

[gray sand]

If there is a no-map achievement, I will never 100% the game 😄

[prime plume]

I found a pod of 3 leviathans beside each other :>

[abstract warren]

Lox is slow...

What's the point

[gray sand]

Happiness.

[livid prawn]

Suggestion: ...a channel or category on here ya'll can us to plan/create a convention, for Valheim. A Valheim Convention. Could call it, Valheim Con, or the Valconvention, or like ...Val-Con.org ;)

[barren whale]

fill your entire inventory with metal, 3-4k carry weight
get on lox
ride home at normal speed

[abstract warren]

Ah cool

[shy marlin]

go to ashlands early 😎

[abstract warren]

For what

[shy marlin]

stone portal

[hard sluice]

we will do it together 😄 like the best friends we have become ^^

insert little pony GIF

tbh, i'd struggle to make an immersive run with others, because i know how tempting it is to check the seed...

[lone rampart]

whine Wanna build...wanna just lay here and watch tv

[hard sluice]

Scales, you don't have a yt channel to show off these cool things? like going in ashlands early?/crossing the spires without a drakk

[abstract warren]

Ah

[silk token]

yeah i think no map achievements would be meaningless with how easy it would be to cheat

[hard sluice]

sadly, it might be the case for most achievements..

[abstract warren]

I probably die so quickly in that hell lol

[green reef]

is hidden seed a possibility? if youu know the seed you can circumvent a lot?

[abstract warren]

It has officially happened. I have finally ran out of greydwarfs eyes

[lone rampart]

how??

[green reef]

icescream will do that

[abstract warren]

[silk token]

maybe they can make a "no map" game that uses seeds that arent documented in seed looky uppy sites and each is unique cuz steam is connected and never makes the same no map seed twice?

[shy marlin]

eh, could still find a way to prolly find the seed

[silk token]

but that sounds like a lot for an achievement few probly care about

[shy marlin]

just knowing how valheim gen works you can always find stuff out even without a map

[green reef]

I think the seed lookup site just reverse engineered the world creation code?

[silk token]

ohrly? idk how it works i dont look up seeds

[green reef]

seeds should be nearly infinite

[abstract warren]

Oh here's a greydwarf spawner. How did I not think of that 🥴

[gray sand]

All worlds are a sub-section of the giant master map.
So seeds might be infinite, but some will undoubtedly yield the same terrain.

[green reef]

we used to dig pits under greydwarf spawners and put tamed wolves in them.

[hard sluice]

the only thing i can guess now is where the silver veins are, more or less.

[green reef]

I used to guess, then for a bit I used the stag hammer, then now I use the log seat exploit

[hard sluice]

idk about the exploit. i used the stag on the servers that encouraged it. somehow i often got it on my 1st tries.

[abstract warren]

Do the spawners spawn more at night?

[green reef]

golems and silver veins seem to go together pretty closely.

[knotty schooner]

Does anybody have tips on finding infested mines 😭

[green reef]

artificial structures, bugs guard it, if you don't talk to the raven, he helps find stuff for you too,

[silk token]

go slow and listen for bugs, they're often numerous and outside the mine

[knotty schooner]

thank you guys, i jst think i need to go slower and listen more then 😭

[hard sluice]

i think they tend to spawn at low altitude, so they are often on the edge of the water. its easier to circle an island on boat than to cross the mistlands

[knotty schooner]

oh really 😮‍💨

[silk token]

that too, not a bad idea to start by circlign in your boat, but they also can be quite inland and low altitude, or inside dverger-lookin things, check for gooey basements

[green reef]

gooey basemenetS?

[hard sluice]

that yellow goo thats on the walls, near the mine entrances 😛

[abstract warren]

Why is there no dish with bear meat

[shy marlin]

viking is a picky eater is my head cannon

[abstract warren]

Lol nah

If there's anyone who's not a picky eater....

It's a viking

[shy marlin]

[gray sand]

Why is there no dish with Bonemaw meat?

[green reef]

I'm hoping dishes with both bonemaw and bear as part of Deep North

[silk token]

bearmaw casserole

[gray sand]

Neither of them need dishes 🤷‍♂️

[light moat]

“Most items must be crafted. However, due to your recent departure from Midgard, you will have to recall the true shape of objects. Just pick things up and it will all come back to you, I'm sure.” -Hugin

This quote here has lead me to believe that every dish we consume must’ve been something the Viking ate during his life. Idk, just my own head cannon I guess

[abstract warren]

My char just had the "vast mass of bear flesh" dream lol

From all this bear meat talk 🐻

[silk token]

or its just a little roleplay flavor put on a game mechanic so the bird doesn't just say "you'll unlock crafting recipes as you go"

[copper karma]

@slender lantern Oh look. You did Versaugh's Tower. #screenshots message

[slender lantern]

I give credit to my good friend Doris I tried to put the credit to him the channel but it didnt go through

[copper karma]

Oh? It's just this build on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qcvjG9UpUY

[light moat]

I mean yeah, its just a fun little thought that I have- nothing too deep

I like to think it’s a testament to how great of warrior the Viking must’ve been in life, just as he is in death.

[slender lantern]

Oh lol I didn’t know he sends me his builds and I said I’d put them in here so people could see them lol

[abstract warren]

"Skeleton surprise" isn't a surprise anymore... It's a once in a 2-3 days occurence...

[hard sluice]

some people build house with a much more open design than others. I've come to think it depends on where people live irl, and how cold it is.
anyone else noticed?

[green reef]

its strange how the raids seem to dial in the same rng for a few cycles or the same few

[abstract warren]

Can't wait to get the iron sledge now 💥🔨

[hard sluice]

you guys just made me realize i could get raided by gjalls.. in my map with fire hazard on.....

[green reef]

I've never seen a gjall raid.

[silk token]

just means you have to treat it like a call to battle, run out and face the foe

[abstract warren]

Yeah for me it's true but in a reverse way

[green reef]

ooo Call to Battle would be aa better name than raids

[copper karma]

You haven't seen big text on your screen going HEY GJALL!

[silk token]

dont get me started on how raids could be better

[green reef]

maybe once, they did bloww up my base once on a dwaarven dock, but it was just a single one?

[copper karma]

I turned off raids for this playthrough with friends of varying skill and sudden AFKness.

[green reef]

raids are a bit crazy on a social server I was on too, especially since people are completing Hildir's quests. The gobby and fenris ones are hard.

[copper karma]

Sometimes I'm just in chill mode and want to make something pretty.

[abstract warren]

Meaning I'm currently stuck in a big house with not much of real outdoor so Valheim is a good escapism

Gotta touch some pixelated grass

[green reef]

do Viles come out during storms too?

[tacit crystal]

Night is the only requirement.

[green reef]

I just saw a vile during day sailing trip, stormy waters, despawned when I got close, plains were not stormy.

[tacit crystal]

Iirc plains have no stormy weather, only rainy.

[shy marlin]

Might have been a night time spawn that the game still had yet to despawn, I've seen that before

[tacit crystal]

And you probably saw it outside the active area and after getting inside the active area it despawned.

Sometimes they get that delay.

[green reef]

yeah just like fires

[silk token]

that was THE worst in ptb trying to get a vile trophy, kept seeing leftover nighttime spawns and they'd pop out of existence before i had the chance to realize it was daytime, but they got me excited every time

[green reef]

trophy for head piece?

[abstract warren]

I wish the forge accessories didn't need so much space

Anvils/smith's anvil particularly

[green reef]

I usuaully tuck them under things,

[abstract warren]

Nah I like how it looks

[toxic dune]

anyone got a server i can join?

[green reef]

its fun to find old bon fires burning 200 days later

[pliant hatch]

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

[green reef]

between my southern most non-ashhlands base and my ashlands base, the w ind changes directions like 4 times

[abstract warren]

Just got 4 ancient seeds from a single 2star greydwarf brute

[green reef]

its fun to just throw them around the base to create lighhting

[abstract warren]

Good idea

[green reef]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV94BZvREvs this is the exact reason I keep feather cloak and LeapFoot for Ashlands

I have died similiarly before though 😄

[green reef]

entertaining for sure

well shoot, I never made a vice. fader might have been e asier

[shy marlin]

I feel like a lot of people miss the spring

[green reef]

I have the wiki open, I just didn't realize I missed a Black Forge level. crazy.

[timber marsh]

I will defeat any monster if it means I get a pet seal

[slow leaf]

Viles are not aligned with other Plains mobs, may have been a night spawn that was still aggro'd on fulings or lox

[shy marlin]

this is untrue

viles are now part of the plains faction

they used to aggro on fulings etc, that's no longer the case tho

https://valheim.fandom.com/wiki/Vile

Faction
Plains

[slow leaf]

Didn't realize they changed it

[shy marlin]

no worries

[slow leaf]

So they will aggro on growths now then

[shy marlin]

yea, seems silly but i think there was some coding problem with them being apart of the undead faction or whatever

i don't remember the full CtA ptb thing but it was a whole technical issue i think

[slow leaf]

So, could still be the same scenario, just swap fulings for growths. Had a night serpent do the same thing the other day, took a minute or two to despawn because it was aggro'd on some draugr or leeches near a swamp

[shy marlin]

Doubt it

I think it's an active zones thing, I've observed that with no growths around etc

[slow leaf]

Might be that too

[barren whale]

they were getting wrecked by loxes because 3v1 i think, prompting the faction swap

[slow leaf]

Just saying night creatures do occasionally stick around in day if they are aggro, but not usually for long

Thankfully, or I would've lost my new 2* wolf yesterday

[dusky anvil]

What is it with this game and loving to one shot you for the sinple act of looking away for 3 seconds?

Basically everything and my longship is 40% across the world now

I stepped off the boat for 5 dang seconds, saw a fire in the distance, and got one shot by a stupid dragonfly, I hate this game

[tough mulch]

Dragonfly? You mean deathsquito? Again, root harness bro root harness

[shy marlin]

i bet it's their first time playin the game

rites of passage

[dusky anvil]

I was trying to sail my way over to the third boss

And it isn't even "Oh, I died to poison and didn't heal in time"

No. I was literally one shot

[dusky anvil]

And for better or for worse, yes

[tough mulch]

True,vits not valhiem if you dont do a death marathon on the plains with deathquitos on your back

[slow leaf]

And...? That's what happens when you step into a biome 2 levels above where you are now

[tough mulch]

Nah he has iron stuff

But rootharness is really OP far better than whatever chestpiece armor can give you

[dusky anvil]

Because I was trying to get to the third boss, but there wasn't any oceans leading directly do it. River was pretty thin anyways, so I figured checking out that fire and going back would have been fine

[tough mulch]

Sounds like a bad elder spawn

[barren whale]

i've never screamed playing a videogame before
except the second time i saw a deathsquito

[tough mulch]

Oh wait no third is bonemass

[barren whale]

they are trivialized by root harnesk tho

[dusky anvil]

It's got an armor stat of 8. How good could it possibly be?

[tough mulch]

Swamps are always connected to the ocean so a sea detour is the safest

[tough mulch]

Tsk tsk

Fcking amazingly good

[slow leaf]

Now you know its not fine 🤣 anyway, just build a new boat and go get your stuff

[barren whale]

the effect on it (resistant against pierce) is the single strongest damage reduction in the game

[tough mulch]

Arrow dmg turns to 0.5 with root harness on and death squito do like what... 5 dmg?

[dusky anvil]

I do have the bronze boat over at the trader. Should reach to my old place just fine with it. It'll take ages, but hey

[dusky anvil]

...by how much?

[slow leaf]

-50% pierce damage

[tough mulch]

And your armor will decrease it even more

[dusky anvil]

I sincerely doubt this is anything but hyperbole

[shy marlin]

nah resistances in valheim are insanely strong

[barren whale]

what this means is, deathquito does 90 damage to a naked viking
if you have 30 armor, it does 60 damage to you (90-30)
if you have 30 armor including root harnesk, it does (90/2 = 45) - 30 so 15 damage down from 60
same armor level, 4x lower damage

[tough mulch]

When have I ever lied to you

[dusky anvil]

So the armor stat is a subtraction from base damage? And the modifier takes place before the subtraction?

[tough mulch]

Of course, only the chest piece Iron helmet + pants for full protection

[dusky anvil]

Okay, that is starting to make sense

[slow leaf]

Its a wildly overhyped piece of armor but for deathsquitos, its quite good

[hard sluice]

(the +15 to bow skill bonus is nice to have at this point of the game, in my opinion)

[tough mulch]

Not only that, the biome after plains has alot of pierce dmg enemies

[dusky anvil]

The sad part is that I still would have been 2 shot because I didn't think such a simple task required food

[barren whale]

armor stat is a subtraction for heavy hits (over 2x your armor stat)
its got diminishing returns as your armor stat approaches the incoming hit's damage

but yes all resistances and weaknesses take place before armor

[tough mulch]

No smoke without fire, itsbest for mixed set for a reason, but falls off after bonemass buff

[barren whale]

nah its actually better now because bonemass's 50% got nuked to 25% in the september update
using the above as an example, with only bonemass the squito would do (90 * .75) = 67.5 - 30 = 37.5
so you're getting stung for 37.5 instead of 15 with new vs old bonemass

(they should probably update root harnesk to match bonemass lmao)

[tough mulch]

Dayum my bonemass

Ill be real though guys, why havent we gotten any other armor with modifiers like root harness

[shy marlin]

because root harnesk is op

[tough mulch]

Its all in set bonus for fenris its against fire(minority group of enemies have this) and thats it

[slow leaf]

Fully upgraded wolf armor is already plenty to not have to really worry about squitos. Root isn't worth the reduced armor for other dmg types and the fire weakness, overrated IMO

[shy marlin]

if there was a chestplate that gave -50% to blunt it'd be legimately insane

[tough mulch]

Its because you can wear the root + wolf set duh, also mistlands is mostly pierce

[barren whale]

that shit was too OP
50% modifiers the way they calc it are basically impossible to balance, either you have it and are invincible or you don't have it and suffer
see: frost mages doing 4x the damage because everyone has permanent frost resistance

[tough mulch]

Survive there a bit and you can get carapice, best armor in my eyes cause its easy to farm

[slow leaf]

Ok, you do you, if you like it go ahead, I see no point to it over just using normal armor

[tough mulch]

Will do

[barren whale]

yeah root harnesk lets you do plains naked and mistlands in troll gear basically
it's not competing with mountains sets

[tough mulch]

If your gutsy, just skip straight to mistlands after moder to get carapice and then go back to plains kek

I just dont like how the carapice set looks though, maybe its just me

[barren whale]

uggo

grabbing carapace spear or krom to fight moder is always fun if you can find a mine

[shy marlin]

ye krom against moder is fun lol

[tough mulch]

Mines are pretty easy to find

[fossil delta]

My wife and I both made Rocky sad tonight. We both had death runs. We appreciated his being sad for us.

[dusky anvil]

Getting a quick bite to eat before going back to get my loot

Note to self. Make a workbench, hut, and bed nearby for spawn point

[fossil delta]

At least we didn't die at the same time, so made for easy Death runs for both of us.

[tough mulch]

add portals and you should be golden

[fossil delta]

When they are there. Actually being there has been a bit of a challenge. Assuming your talking Mistlands mines.

[tough mulch]

mistland mines indeed

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they have been in short supply for us this play through.

[tough mulch]

ooze bombs lighten the load for a lot in my experience

may RNGesus bless your map

[fossil delta]

Yep, we use them a lot in the mines as well, and to hunt hares.

It would be nice. The newest island we are on has been better, so far.

[dusky anvil]

Was going to when I got close to the 3rd boss

But curiosity got the better of me

[dusky anvil]

I may have accidentally made 2 of the root armors instead of one and the mask

[tough mulch]

lol, the mask is fine for swamp farming

the leggings however

[dusky anvil]

I did the pierce resistance one twice

[tough mulch]

I see, try it on and let a deathsquito touch you, of coures thats with food on and Iron leggings and helmet

[dusky anvil]

The heck you mean let it touch me? I want to live

[tough mulch]

whats your armor rn?

with root harness on

[dusky anvil]

24

[tough mulch]

oh it should do like about 10 dmg?

[dusky anvil]

If it's 90 damage total

It would be 21

Anyhoo, want to keep me company in a voice chat? It's a long way away, especially with a bronze ship

[tough mulch]

well im just doing work so why not

I get to enjoy your suf- I mean your journey

[dusky anvil]

Animals seems to have eaten all of my turnip seeds

[hard sluice]

i finally found that infested citadel without a map 🥲
i was about to give up...!

that hurts... if you remember where you found the seeds, they will grow back in the same spot

[merry pebble]

Was it chickens? 🤔

[merry pebble]

No they wont, seed flowers do not respawn

[hard sluice]

i thought they did. my bad

[dusky anvil]

No, as in I planted them into the ground and now they're gone

[merry pebble]

Ah, then enemies probably attacked them sadly

[dusky anvil]

Would torches keep the little pricks away? I remember they hate fire

[merry pebble]

For normal greydwarfs and greylings, yep, but not shamans and brutes

Ususally its better to build walls around the farm since they will not attack the crops directly if they cant see them 🙂

[dusky anvil]

A lot of work just to have them leave you alone

[merry pebble]

I wouldnt say so, you will need farm the whole playthrough pretty much, so if you just put stakewalls around it its pretty cheap investment 🙂

-# Granted that from 5th biome forward you will need at least a small farm in there and one in biome after

[sweet ember]

yagluth needs like 75% less health and to not regenerate hp

ain't no way a boss that oneshots you in fully upgraded gear, max foods for the area, and fire resist pots needs to also go back up to full health if you haven't hit him for more than 5 seconds

[merry pebble]

How did he one shot you? Unless you sttod still in the beam or while the meteors were falling he shouldnt be able to do that. And even then it would need few hits

[sweet ember]

i'm exaggerating, i just hate this kind of difficulty

the jrpg approach "boss has 10 trillion hp and does 3 full healthbars per attack good luck lmao"

i'm guessing this is balanced around playing with 6+ people or something, but going in as 2 it's just not possible

[merry pebble]

Balanced around 1 person playing 😄
Tho enemies get slight boost to dmg and hp while playing with more people

[sweet ember]

nah this is the wall, just wanted to file a complaint before i uninstall the game lol

anyway, make the game playable pls

peace

[merry pebble]

Already is 😄 bye bye

[tough mulch]

I really cant relate, I just cheese all the bosses

[sharp bluff]

game is actually super easy on base difficulty

solo, mind you

[merry pebble]

They already left

[sharp bluff]

probably got filtered by a greyling

[open quest]

lf new server..

[merry pebble]

Look no further than #1024264966712340510 😄

[dusky anvil]

My longship seems fo be stuck. How do I get it out?

[abstract warren]

Try pushing it on foot

If you can't just break and rebuild it

[dusky anvil]

Does breaking it drop the components of the ship?

Wait a minute... would my pickaxe be able to dig a small river?

[abstract warren]

Yes

[dusky anvil]

I don't mean the storage

I mean the nails, wood, etc

[abstract warren]

Yes

Stand on the boat and break it from the sail so you'll automatically pick up the items as soon as it breaks

[chrome badge]

Yeah, it's the only way to deconstruct the ships.

[abstract warren]

With an axe of course

[dusky anvil]

Good

Would be very annoying to still be screwed over after all of that

Laptop crashed while I was away, resulting in me dying, and reloading a past save resulted in me with all of my stuff... without the ship

Screw this game, I'm done with it for a good while

Holy crap, man

[chrome badge]

You left the game running while afk?

[dusky anvil]

Well, no. I was there and trying ti mine a crude path

Laptop shut off immediately, I logged back in and found me back at my spawn point with all my loot gone

[chrome badge]

Ah I see, crashing can be rough and a set back in most games.

[dusky anvil]

This game is way too cutthroat for making the most miniscule of mistakes, and half of them aren't even your fault

[merry pebble]

Well, game design cant really anticipate crashes sadly

[dusky anvil]

So my ship is gone

Or I can set myself back 6+ hours and have even less things

Yay...

[chrome badge]

Your ship is definitely somewhere, it's just hard to say where exactly.

[dusky anvil]

I know where it's at

But it's also in the middle of bum frick nowhere and no chance of using the Karve to get there

[chrome badge]

Why's that? The Karve is more maneuverable than any ship.

It glides over shallows quite easily.

[flat stag]

Such a good idea to add cooking, farming, etc (new skills)

[dusky anvil]

Because what do you think I took to get to the Longship that was also in the middle of bum Frick nowhere were I died from drowning and getting serpent meat?

I don't have one

[chrome badge]

Sorry I guess I'm just confused why your ship(s?) are impossible to retrieve, or why you'd be in that situation to begin with.

[chrome badge]

You mean the skills that were added almost a year and a half ago? 😅

[dusky anvil]

It's in the middle of the ocean, that's why

[dusky anvil]

Because I needed to go kill the third boss and found out his spawn is behind a column of land that stretches over HALF of the entire world with no rivers in between it

[chrome badge]

Ah, you could always build a cheap raft and do a naked retrieval run.

[chrome badge]

You can also just break your ship, run across, and rebuild it on the other side of the land.

[dusky anvil]

Ah, yes. A cheap raft to travel across several kilometers of Serpent infested Plains

[dusky anvil]

You know what that requires? Hint: starts with an s. Rhymes with trip

[chrome badge]

Serpents are easy enough to kill, they're not that abundant, and you can cross the entire map on a raft if you're not interested in using materials to build anything else to be fair.

[chrome badge]

It just requires an axe. 🤷

[dusky anvil]

You really think a raft at paddle speed can outrun a serpent, deathsquitos with no armor, and the undead with arrows?

Forget it

[chrome badge]

I never said that, but most everything can be killed with a bow and some awareness. I've taken out multiple serpents with just a finewood bow and flint arrows.

[flat stag]

ye 😄 I haven't played since spring 2024

[buoyant aurora]

hii 🐽🐽

[buoyant aurora]

what do i do now i have better gear

[chrome badge]

Did you read the red runestone at the spawn area?

[buoyant aurora]

yes

[chrome badge]

Okay, that will lead you to your first objective

[buoyant aurora]

theres nothing there

just another one of the red stones

[chrome badge]

What does it say?

[buoyant aurora]

hunt his kin 💔😔

[chrome badge]

And just above the stone?

[buoyant aurora]

a deer

[chrome badge]

Perhaps bringing a part of a deer to the sacrifical altar? 🤭

[buoyant aurora]

okay

o

i killed it 😭

[vast jewel]

Does this game have a raytracing mod?

I think that would look insane with this artstyle.

[buoyant aurora]

why is some random fat bear harder to fight than that deer 💔😔

[untold horizon]

yo guys what cape should i get when i get bronze armor like at the same level

[merry pebble]

The deer is supposed to teach you how boss fights work 🙂 in a way it is a "tutorial" boss

[buoyant aurora]

oh

so the random bear is meant to be harder?

[chrome badge]

It's found in the next biome in progression, many things in the black forest biome will be harder

[buoyant aurora]

i found one before and it killed me twice 💔😭

[gray sand]

Torch!

[chrome badge]

Hehe, luckily they're easy to avoid or run away from. If you feel like taking one down, try utilizing fire arrows or a torch as point out above.

[buoyant aurora]

okayy thankyiu 🍯

[gray sand]

They will actively avoid you if holding a torch.

[buoyant aurora]

even if i attack them ?

like if i shoot it and then hold a torch it wont be upset?

[gray sand]

Oh it will be upset, they just can't hit you because they will get close, see the torch, and then adjust their attack so it misses.

[flat stag]

The ruins in the meadows (huge rock that is carried by a few rock pillars) - does it have any loot underneath it? Or it's just cosmetic?

[paper marsh]

Sounds like you're playing on Very Hard. If it's too much, maybe turn it down to easy?

No shame in changing difficulty

[light moat]

Inthink it’s just cosmetic? Sometimes there’s a chest in some of those structures 🤔

[light moat]

I believe he already left 🫡

[flat stag]

Thanks. About mods. I know there is a channel for it, but it seems a bit dead. I just installed r2modman - is this the correct mod manager?

I am looking for a mod that helps me sort my inventory with ease. Any recommendations, please? Also, is Valheim Plus worth getting?

[light moat]

Unfortunately I have no idea 😅
Usually that channel is pretty active, strange!

[lusty dirge]

It's not dead, the people actually using mods are active there, you are not going to get more answers here

If that is not enough, you should join the modding discords, there is more engagement there

[flat stag]

I meant - not much activity in the last few hours

[light moat]

Shhh! They’re sleeping!

[flat stag]

SmarterContainers ❤️

[gray sand]

🤢

[flat stag]

I don't get you 😄 but fair enough. Have fun* sorting your items manually for hours

[light moat]

I will! 😤

[barren whale]

yes r2modman the goat

modding discords are generally more helpful as well, lotta weird vanilla purists here

[formal torrent]

I wouldn't say there's a "correct" mod manager but r2modman is widely considered to be the best (I also think it's the best)

[flat stag]

a lot of martyrs 😄

[flat stag]

modding discords <-- you mean other servers than this one, dedicated to Valheim mods?

[formal torrent]

That is indeed what he's saying

[flat stag]

alright thanks

[formal torrent]

What kind of mods are you planning on using?

Like mostly QoL? Or are you looking to change the game drasticly

[flat stag]

not many - just a few that will prevent me from pulling my hair out in anger - like inventory management

[formal torrent]

Sweet I'm pretty much in the same boat, I can give some recommendations if you're interested!

[barren whale]

nooo you can't that's cheating this game is meant to be a chore 😭

[formal torrent]

haha

[flat stag]

a few years ago I had a few that helped me a lot with automating kilns and smelters (auto pulls resources), inventory management that put stuff into their right places (Ctrl+click) - the one i just installed, mass harvest, mass plant, some extended map mods

[flat stag]

I would like to hear some recommendations. Every time I walk 10 meters, my bags are full

Valheim is an inventory nightmare without mods, imo

[formal torrent]

Send me a DM I'll message you my modlist

[light moat]

Just play however you want, whatever works for you 😎

[flat stag]

hehe - I have sinned and angered Odin

[glossy heath]

not sure if there's really a lot but i guess i haven't been looking much lately, what bothers me more is this culture of "wrong channel you absolute fool" that trickled down onto regulars haha

[barren whale]

true, it's fair to try and organize convos but sometimes it's weaponized to shut down topical convos someone doesn't like

[glossy heath]

yepp

[gray sand]

Calling everyone who likes vanilla weird... one day you will manage to make it an hour without insulting people...

[pliant hatch]

Frankly speaking, I doubt that. As I don't count the hours he's sleeping.

[gray sand]

Fair.

[glossy heath]

i would assume the "weird" in that phrase was more about how people express liking vanilla by expressing dislike for mods pretty much unprompted, not about liking vanilla, but i wouldn't know

[gray sand]

It's just as simple to say "there are vanilla purists" without adding any derogatory words 🤷‍♂️

[barren whale]

yeah generally it's weird to give unsolicited advice on how someone should play a single player game. This is colloquially termed "backseat gaming" and considered antisocial behavior, analogous to commenting on someone's lunch

[near furnace]

🤔

[gray sand]

@hallow oyster if you cannot find a post to reply to there, you are always free to make your own!

[pliant hatch]

Not about you. About someone else's behaviour that's for some stupid reason is triggering people to comment on about every reply that person posts.

[gray sand]

Smiffe believes people should have the opportunity to realize they are being shitty and change.
He is a better man than I. 💛

[near furnace]

?

[pliant hatch]

Or he's like: "It's Sunday, I got a day off and I'm not in the mood for this kindergarten kiddy behaviour some people are showing here."

Either way, it's not up to us to tell him what to do.
I'm quite certain Smiffe is old enough to make his own decisions regarding this idiocy.

[gray sand]

Smiffe do be old...

😏

[near furnace]

I AM NOT OLD!

[pliant hatch]

If he'd be living in France, his name would be Smiffelix and he'd be yelling: "I'm not fat!"

[near furnace]

🤔

smiffelix sounds like a cat

https://giphy.com/gifs/felicity-mr-fluffy-and-clean-cat-s2bXg08nqOo9cBl4Im

[gray sand]

Or a youtube channel where the shtick is just you licking different things like rocks, candy, legos, whatever your audience sends in.

[near furnace]

that would derail quickly

[pliant hatch]

Yeah. Licking Yellow snow Mushrooms may have a very weird side effect, I fear.

[gray sand]

Remember the OG blue mushrooms?

[pliant hatch]

I'm afraid not.

[summer hinge]

https://tenor.com/view/pepperidge-pepperidge-farm-remembers-remember-gif-15527169458174144495

[gray sand]

I don't believe they ever had function, and I think they were just placeholder for Magecaps.

You had to spawn them in.

[near furnace]

they where in troll caves

[glossy heath]

could never forget the hundreds of times people spawned those into their bases probably because some online guide listed them at the top of a list of spawnable objects

[near furnace]

they still exist

[gray sand]

😮

[shy marlin]

didn't know that one lol

[near furnace]

never implimented tho

[slow leaf]

Yes I too find it surprising that people on a discord devoted to a game want to discuss the game without talking about a bunch of third party addons they don't use

[near furnace]

spawn glowingmushroom

[pliant hatch]

I started playing briefly before or right after the H&H update and by the time I was ready to go to Mistlands, that biome had changed.
So never saw the old version of it.

[near furnace]

people thought it was the yellow one..

[gray sand]

I used them as decos one time.

[near furnace]

it's one of the reasons why Forcedelete command was created

but people pawned 100's

and that would basicly brick your world

[gray sand]

oof, I always just use removedrops for stuff like that.

[glossy heath]

⁨forcedelete 50 glowingmushroom⁩ was at the top of my per-server bio here for ages

[barren whale]

there's two types of blue mushroom, the glowing kind and the edible food item
the glowing kind isn't an item so forcedelete is needed to clear it

[near furnace]

removedrops don't work on a spawned item

it's not a drop

[gray sand]

Is it not dropped if you pick it up and then drop it?

[glossy heath]

it's not interactable

[barren whale]

you are thinking of the edible blue mushroom, not the glowing one

[near furnace]

you can't 😄

[glossy heath]

it's an object like a rock or skull, but without health, can't be destroyed

[near furnace]

^

[barren whale]

they make for interesting lighting when you set the size scale to 0

[gray sand]

And people want open servers that anyone can join 😄

[near furnace]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmh

[merry pebble]

How is that relevant when only the host can spawn them?

[near furnace]

no one would ever spawn a level 50 troll, glowingmushroom or something else bad now would they 🤔

[gray sand]

Search how often people also ask for "use devcommands on a server"

[glossy heath]

i mean mods can get around that, but the game makes backups and saves them for a good while.

[near furnace]

problem with a level 50 troll. even if you kill it with command. it's drops will brick the world

[gray sand]

I miss when devcommands was iamacheater 😭

[merry pebble]

I am aware that people often ask about that, doesent matter in this case tho since its impossible without mods

[near furnace]

I still remember "cheatsplease" 😉

[barren whale]

that's why anticheat mods are very popular

[gray sand]

O
L
D

😛

[near furnace]

cheatsplease -> Iamacheater -> devcommands

[gray sand]

-> devcommands disabled for 1.0 😏

[near furnace]

why?

[gray sand]

No reason. Just being cheeky.

[tacit crystal]

Forcedelete would solve it?

[near furnace]

https://giphy.com/gifs/pudgypenguins-bat-bonk-ill-hit-you-6To7mnTymkfXlDEZjn

[near furnace]

yup

also a reason I wanted the command

[gray sand]

Why are the Linux's fighting?

[barren whale]

well, if you spawn 100,000 it would get difficult to load the chunk
at some point a world save rollback is easier

[near furnace]

well. some people do spawn dumb things like that and the auto-save will just run and run and then you can't roll it back

[merry pebble]

Oooof, that number would probably fry my PC 😄

[near furnace]

a very precious 0.01Fps

[pliant hatch]

Or it would simply load up so slowly, you can go to bed, have a good night's rest, wake up the next day and play the game with 0.000001 FPS.

[shy marlin]

seconds per frame

[near furnace]

new thin FPH

not even FPM...

[merry pebble]

Oh i am quite sure ot would go straight to 0 xD crashing the game outright

[near furnace]

Frames Per Hour

[barren whale]

if you build a vertical chicken breeder on the side of a mountain you can drop 100 eggs per 10m height per hour, so up to thousands per hour is possible if you have enough feed
unrelatedly, I have achieved seconds per frame before trying to stock up on feathers

[near furnace]

madness

do we need to set a more serious limit?

like max animals per 500 meters radius?

[gray sand]

Remove auto-breeder animal cruelty boxes entirely 😭

[near furnace]

https://giphy.com/gifs/workaholics-forsure-oxahPI4vpzbSE

[tough mulch]

how about 8 askins laving eggs per 1minute 30 seconds and at the bottom you have a egg hatchery so you get 8 adult askins every 1minute 30 seconds

[tough mulch]

how will I train my axe skill if not friendly fire animal abuse on the lox!

[barren whale]

that would be pretty helpful if you simply stopped eggs from hatching until the previous animals died 😍
there are crazier people who will run continuous autokillers at 5 fps

[near furnace]

mmmmh

[barren whale]

is this intended gameplay? who knows

[near furnace]

I smell a 1.0.1 fix 🤔

[tough mulch]

for which part specifically

I will say the askvin breeder 8000 helped me remove all enemy mobs from ashlands by replacing them with askvins

[barren whale]

yeah animal herds under like 1k total are pretty fun to do
its when the frames get so low that you can't equip a demolisher/embers that things get worrying
butcher knife also takes many hits to kill 2* asksvin so they take forever to thin out at 5fps

[tough mulch]

you really have no choice but to use kill all command lol

[barren whale]

cheatsledge is also quite satisfying

[tough mulch]

I dont know what that command is

[barren whale]

spawn sledgeCheat i think, it'll autopopulate

[nocturne wolf]

I've tried setting the scale of objects with commands but I can't get it to understand the vector value because the command tries to read it as a single float instead, how do you do this?

[barren whale]

it's not every prefab, glowingmushroom takes scale but for example no monsters do
I don't use IH but it looks like the vec3 format you want is ⁨⁨⁨hammer_scale x,y,z⁩⁩⁩, and there should be binds to scale up and scale down with like shift+scroll

[nocturne wolf]

spawn command can't spawn characters above level 9

[nocturne wolf]

I don't know what IH is, I'm talking about the spawn command

In decompiled code it looks like it can try to take a vector value but only if it doesn't start with a float which isn't possible, its very weird

I'd guess one of the devs never tested it? or maybe added vector support before floats? I've made a bug report, hopefully its fixed in 1.0

[near furnace]

yes

but

mods can

[barren whale]

IH means the Infinity Hammer mod, I don't think you can adjust scale in vanilla freebuild. IH is what most people use for modded vanilla-compatible building.
that's strange, afaik the type is a unity object called vec3 which is just 3 floats in a trenchcoat. You might be able to use Unity Editor or something to change those values but that's a mod too haha

[nocturne wolf]

I already play with Unity Explorer so setting these values for testing things isn't a problem, I was only wondering if I had missed a way to do it vanilla

[barren whale]

ah yeah then no, not that i know of

[barren whale]

o_o i thought drops are capped at like 100 items max now
i have definitely killed modded enemies like that without bricking

[nocturne wolf]

yes max 100 of each drop

[merry pebble]

100 of each or total things the enemy drops? I did test it sometime before ashlands dropped iirc bu dont remember

[barren whale]

iirc each item type

[nocturne wolf]

yes, a greydwarf will drop 100 of everything

[gray sand]

Wood, Stone, Eye, Trophy 😏

[merry pebble]

resin

[nocturne wolf]

we need a 100 ragdoll greydwarf

[gray sand]

Do shamans drop all + bukeperries?

[merry pebble]

They dont drop stone

[gray sand]

😭

[barren whale]

trophies never scale with level 😔

[flat stag]

ImpactfulSkills + SmartSkills? Or one of them? And which? (mods)

[shy marlin]

it'd be cool if they did, it would be even cooler with there were 1 star and 2 star versions of trophies

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might be able to help with that 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

2 star trophies as a requirement for boss spawns

[split adder]

im getting sick of seekers

when do i get my queen vegvisir

[sour furnace]

when you're about to die in a mine

[split adder]

how many more times must i almost die to get it

[lone rampart]

At least once more

[split adder]

hopefully this is the mine

[lone rampart]

🤞

[split adder]

i dont think it is

[rare lichen]

Even just changing the limit so that it has no max vertical height would go a long way
Right now the limited region is like a sphere or a cube or somethin, so the players just make these tall tower things that drop monsters when they grow

On the public server we do a hard limit of 6 of each type of animal for every 30 meters
That seems to work well but some players really love taming and want to have lots of animals

[steel mica]

valheim'ing

[rotund parrot]

vegvisirs in mines can actually be hiden in sneaky spots

[near furnace]

not really 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

yes really

[merry pebble]

But yeah, the items do indeed cap, and iirc you were the one who told me about it Smiffe 😄

[near furnace]

it's not a cap, but the amount of stuff spawning at the same time will probably make windows hate the game

but I have lived through it

[sharp bluff]

hm, i wonder how well proton can tank it

[warm sandal]

I just had the best sunday afternoon in a long time playing the game with my son who had never defeated yagluth before and has never been to the mistlands... Seeing his sheer glee about the Mistlands and how they work and look was so rewarding 😄 Glad my son is of my opinion that Mistlands is the bested biome of them all (so far)

[tacit crystal]

That's quite based opinion.
It's mine favorite too.

[warm sandal]

such fun he is playing a tank with a big ass battle axe and I play my usual glass canon build... this is more fun than is legally allowed 😄

[rapid moat]

Any new news on the ps5 release date other than 2026?

[merry pebble]

Nope

[rapid moat]

😩

Still remember the first encounter with a deathsquito it was terrifying 😳

[worn badge]

my first encounter was unfortunate😭 i was sailing too close to the plains, i look away, and look back hearing it and it one shots me on the boat

[rapid moat]

Myself and a buddy jumped off the vessel and charged 2 seconds later retreated and killed while trimying to flee

[worn badge]

it do be like that, the confidence i got from being able to tussle with abominations was high😭 just to be shut down by mosquitos when exploring the world

[rapid moat]

Then spending the next 2 hours getting your stuff back

[worn badge]

true
atleast on non boat rides you tend to have a portal for item recovery with the boat near for ore transport

always portals spread everywhere if ya needa repair when grinding ore in the area

[rapid moat]

Yeah we didn't have portals on the first encounter just waiting on the ps release now so I can get a full server of 10 players

[buoyant aurora]

was i lied to about holding a torch and not dying to a bear or am i missing something 💔😞

[tacit crystal]

They avoid fire, but are not afraid.

[nocturne wolf]

Bears avoid fire which can make you safer with a torch but it can be a bit inconsistent

Staying closer to the bear will help, if you’re far away it won’t avoid you until it’s about to hit you

[buoyant aurora]

so i should chase it?

i was just standing still

[nocturne wolf]

I haven’t tried this myself I usually go with an upgraded shield and an axe

[buoyant aurora]

i do like no damage to it anyways

[nocturne wolf]

What weapon are you using?

[buoyant aurora]

fire arrows

[nocturne wolf]

They resist pierce

[buoyant aurora]

what

[nocturne wolf]

Even with elemental arrows you’ll mostly be dealing pierce with a bow

[buoyant aurora]

idk what that means 😔

[nocturne wolf]

Pierce is a damage type, bears take 50% damage from pierce. Slash damage is better against them

[chrome badge]

Fire arrows are still a great option against a bear, they're weak to Fire, and Fire Arrows do 33 damage to bears + 5 pierce, still resulting in more damage than base damage from a Fire Arrow.

[nocturne wolf]

33 damage with high bow skill

theyre definitely better than other options, but its likely anyone in black forest will have a flint axe available

[buoyant aurora]

i just killed a troll 😭

[chrome badge]

Why are you sad about that?

[buoyant aurora]

im nott itd just strange cause like it jumpscared me and i was js expecting to die

[hard sluice]

i dont like killing passive creatures, but if they attack me 1st, no mercy !

[buoyant aurora]

anyways i just died to some like 100x smaller creature

[chrome badge]

Oh, you chose an odd emote to use then 😛

[buoyant aurora]

but the health bar wasnt evn going down

[chrome badge]

Best to let the fire damage tick away at them from a safe position when possible.

[buoyant aurora]

i shot it like 10 times 😞

and not a single bit of health

[chrome badge]

10 is really not much to be fair.

[fossil delta]

Doesn't just holding a torch make the bears run away?

[green reef]

works better in the left hand from my experience

[chrome badge]

Bears can still path to you, and they do have a lunging attack from safe distances.

[paper marsh]

kinda. They don't run far and sometimes still attack

[chrome badge]

When starting a new game, my best results came from sitting on a rock and slinging fire arrows.

[nocturne wolf]

they don't attack from further than 5m which isn't huge against a player using a bow

[chrome badge]

I can't say how many it took, but I had about 200 to be safe.

[fossil delta]

Hmmmm... I was just thinking you could use the torch to keep them off of you while they burn from fire arrows. If their reaction is that unpredictable I guess I'll just stick to melee with them.

[nocturne wolf]

spending 200 arrows on a single enemy is insane

[chrome badge]

I didn't say I spent all 200.

[fossil delta]

I think its more like 30 to 40 fire arrows.

I didn't count, I just kill them.

[paper marsh]

Bears were a challenge for me at first, but after I get used to their attacks it wasn't too bad

(Also might have helped turning my difficulty down to hard so I didnt get oneshot)

[green reef]

torch in left hand, axe in right, almost impossible for the bear to do anything to you

[fossil delta]

Thats lot of chasing, but you don't get to where you can block reliably until your peaking out your gear and food in the BF. So its probably a good strategy for early in the biome.

[lethal isle]

I’ve had one troll spawn during 3 love potions, am I doing something wrong or just getting RNGd that hard?

I’m in a Black Forest more than 2000 m from spawn, with no player base items near by

[frigid anvil]

hello everyone

[merry pebble]

Then just bad rng i am afraid

[thorn citrus]

hi there

[frigid anvil]

just got back into this game after hitting a wall at the swamp about 6 months ago, just beat bonemass today lol

[merry pebble]

Congrats!

[frigid anvil]

hehe thanks

it's quite a fun game

[fossil delta]

I definitely agree. I wouldn't play it so much if I hated it. 😄

[frigid anvil]

true, I try to avoid playing games when I'm not having fun doing so

[thorn citrus]

yaaay

[frigid anvil]

now I've got the mountains to deal with, which I'm sure will be an enjoyable experience

nothing my trusty alcohol can't fix

[merry pebble]

Mead can solve all kinds of problems 😄 be it in game or irl

[thorn citrus]

I meaaan

did you liked the swamps ?

[merry pebble]

The difficulty spike from swamp to mountain is not as harsh as from BF to swamp 😄 so they should be ok

[frigid anvil]

no

[thorn citrus]

yeah

[frigid anvil]

honestly the biggest thing I'm looking forward to

[thorn citrus]

wellI think you'll like the mountains then

[frigid anvil]

is that I can SEE in the mountains

[thorn citrus]

haha

not all the time, but yes

[merry pebble]

Wait till snowstorm comes

[hard sluice]

i think the mountains are fun, just be careful if you stick around during nighttime

[frigid anvil]

well yeah, but the swamps are still just about pitch-black perpetually

[merry pebble]

True true, they are always a bit dark due to rain 🙂

[frigid anvil]

The new bear claw weapons are quite fun

hold up very well in the swamp, and are quite cheap to make and upgrade

by the time I got them I already had iron weapons which do edge them out a tad bit, but I killed two bears accidentally (well, without deliberately hunting them) and that got me enough to upgrade the claws to tier 3

[hard sluice]

i dont want to give spoilers, but there are more fist weapons in this game. and other armor sets that can boost it...

[thorn citrus]

you're gonna love the mountains I hope

it's my favorite biome

[frigid anvil]

Yeah I've heard a bit

I've spoiled a decent amout of the game for myself already lol

[hard sluice]

before they fixed 'slope combat', fists and knives werent great in the mountains, but its a lot better now.

[frigid anvil]

I am SO glad they fixed that

And made the spear actually able to hit things

I like spears a lot, although hammers seem kinda nice too

[uncut creek]

my personal favourite are maces specially Frostner hah

[frigid anvil]

(I used the iron mace to kill Bonemass; the mountain hammer seems rather attractive)

[frigid anvil]

yesss that is one sexy looking hammer ngl

[hard sluice]

my 1st love was with the swords, but i mostly play spears or knives, with clubs as secondary to deal with the resistances

[frigid anvil]

I might revisit the atgeirs too, with the parrying not taking stamina

[uncut creek]

i would play swords but on swamp there is a one big issue with them

they re just weak

[hard sluice]

i thought the swords were good in all biomes, thats why i liked them.
they have ok speed and range, a good secondary attack. and they can hit multiple enemies without splitting dmg.

[uncut creek]

and on this moment i will have maces leveled up so i dont wwantto grind other class from zero

[uncut creek]

yeah but they re weak on blobs and bonemass

[hard sluice]

now that i played the last biomes, i prefer to invest in clubs...

[uncut creek]

yeah

btw

whats the point of adding spears swords etc made of wood

can somebody explain?

[frigid anvil]

I think it's just a fun collector's item

[hard sluice]

i never picked them up.
they are meant to train with other players, or on TWIG, from what i understand

[frigid anvil]

And in theory to go with the target dummy

[nocturne wolf]

you can hit bats without killing them, which is fun because they take more knockback than any other creature in Valheim

[hard sluice]

i kind of assume you can do fun pvp practice with those wooden weapons? its the only real use i can think of

[uncut creek]

have you maybe tips how to get freakin ectoplasm, i only have 3 and i looted something like 12 burial chambers

[split adder]

loot more burial chambers

[uncut creek]

shoot

[split adder]

alternatively i think theres an event that spawns ghosts

[merry pebble]

But that is rng

[uncut creek]

yeah

[nocturne wolf]

so is burial chambers

[uncut creek]

but i dont remember after witch boss it can attack you

[chrome badge]

Only 2 more to go!

[uncut creek]

yeah...

only 2 hah

[merry pebble]

With a bit of luck you will need only one ghost for that 🙂

[frigid anvil]

Now, do I keep working

Or do I play more Valheim

Apparently I have a reputation as a "responsible person", for some reason

[split adder]

how do i make myself not bored of the mistlands anymore

i need motivation to get to the ashlands so i have something to do

[timber marsh]

do i bother making the eitr weave set

[merry pebble]

If you want to play as a mage, i would say 100% yes 🙂

[timber marsh]

or stick with heavy armor and hybrid

heavy armor and staff of protection shield and just tank it

183 eitr for a full set oof

[hard sluice]

in my experience, the hybrids builds don't work that well.
You cant block/parry with a protection shield, and you have to sacrifice hp or stamina for the eitr.

[timber marsh]

yeah but... FIREBALL

[hard sluice]

i dont think mistlands is difficult enough that it needs the eitr gear, but its worth it in ashlands. i normally only craft the ashland eitr gear. (i still craft the mistland staves, i just dont use them until ashlands)

[timber marsh]

do i bother with carpace armor then my padded is maxed out

[hard sluice]

you can only have a lvl 2 blackforge in mistlands, so it would boost your total armor by only 6 points, for a full set.

[timber marsh]

not worth it then i guess

[split adder]

cant you have a level 3

[hard sluice]

wait... maybe. yeah my bad

[timber marsh]

my black forge is already 3

my galdr table is not

[hard sluice]

so a whole +12 armor... maybe its worth it.
i skip padded armors nowadays

[merry pebble]

That can also be lvl3 in mistlands 🙂

[timber marsh]

ooh

where am i gonna find that much tissue

[smoky saddle]

Is it common for fuling camps to randomly have a massive warm of fulings run to it? There were 5 beserkers and about 20 fulings

[timber marsh]

yep

[smoky saddle]

Never seen it before and it really took us by surprise

[split adder]

you say fulings
i say easy black metal

[shy marlin]

[dark coyote]

ssomething probably agro'd them, when they killed it they all ran back to their positions

[split adder]

a pufferfish just jumped onto my boat

[paper marsh]

But but mistlands is the most fun biome

[paper marsh]

Why not?

[split adder]

im sick of seekers

and im sick of going through infested mines

and locating them

[paper marsh]

Ah you’re the one doing a no map run right? That does sound like it could get tedious in mistlands

[split adder]

that is not me

[copper karma]

"Hybrid builds don't have the max possible health or stamina" is one of your criticisms? Yes, otherwise everyone would just eat eitr foods exclusively

[paper marsh]

Never mind then

How about finding a Gjall to jump on top of and ride around? That might keep the fun going AND help you scout the mistlands from the sky

[hard sluice]

?

[paper marsh]

IMO hybrid is better at parrying than full fighter or full mage

[hard sluice]

if i use the magic, i prefer to go all in, max the eitr and rely on the protection and dodges to keep me alive.
otherwise i get more hp and stamina and i parry+counter. thats all

[merry pebble]

Just as good at parrying as full mage 😄 since both have access to the bubble

[hard sluice]

i'd love to hear you make your case for it.
(but im playing at the moment, i'll read later)

[paper marsh]

Slight disagreement

Mage gets to cast bubble to parry

Fighter gets to do back to back parries because they don’t need to recast a shield, but may struggle to parry very hard hitting enemies

Hybrid gets to do back to back parries because they have the hp for it, and parry strong enemies because they have the Eitr for mage shield

[hard sluice]

is there any enemy that can't be parried on normal difficulty?

[merry pebble]

Lord reto

Or iirc, more accurately cant be parried without you also getting staggered

[hard sluice]

i can't say, i never fought him.
I'm not the most experienced player, i'm wrong sometimes.
i may be wrong about hybrid builds. i'm listening.

[rotund parrot]

Definitely no chance to parry him without level 100 block, without the carapace buckler and without triple health food

[merry pebble]

Last time i tried that with best food possible i got staggered 100% of the time, buti cant remember if he was also staggered or not, i assume he was but i am just not sure

[rotund parrot]

Pretty sure I parried at least a couple of his attacks but it's not worth it

[barren whale]

getting staggered on your end depends on armor I think

haven't tested extensively

[paper marsh]

I imagine you should be able to even without 100 block and without getting staggered if you just use evasion mantle or fader power

[paper marsh]

Armor helps avoid it yeah.

Though parry armor and food helps too

[rotund parrot]

No, essentially the armor only matter once the block fails because the stagger bar filled completely but it doesn't affect if it fill or not

[rotund parrot]

Yeah definitely the trinkets and powers changed it, you can probably straight parry any of his attack without even getting staggered, may test it later

[barren whale]

succeeding the parry doesn't depend on your armor at all
getting staggered by the leak-through damage depends on your armor

[rotund parrot]

The stagger happens when the bar is filled, then the damage you take will depend on armor if you want me to rephrase

[shy marlin]

why parry when atgeir does trick

[fossil delta]

I believe Sevrahns sheets up in the pins goes in to great detail about all this parry info.

Definitely read it before anyone does any testing.

[rotund parrot]

I have not used atgeir enough but I do appreciate it

It just annoy me having to think about being on level ground

[paper marsh]

From my understanding the damage let through the parry causes stagger, but then the damage that continues to be let through after factoring armor calculates stagger again

Parry failing only depends on what damage gets through shield. But character stagger takes that stagger and adds the stagger for actual damage taken

[rotund parrot]

Double stagger 😱

[shy marlin]

really don't have to be with the combat update

[rotund parrot]

good news

[fossil delta]

I was wondering about that.

I haven't gone and used all the various weapons since then, to see how much they have improved.

Meaning in actual combat. TWIG is a different story. 😄

[hard sluice]

i'll have to try it(melee+parry) once i get to Reto..!
idk if you guys mentionned the bonemass power and the evasion mantle? it would help, no?

[fossil delta]

I would think so. I just fight everything using the Eikthyr power, and so far, just the iron brooch.

[paper marsh]

Evasion yes (I mentioned it), bonemass I believe should help with not getting staggered, but it won’t help to succeed parry

Fader will help both parry and stagger as well

[frigid anvil]

I’m quite tempted to come up with a recipe for irl deer stew from Valheim

with blueberries and carrots, that doesn’t sound that bad tbh

[split adder]

make yggdrasil porridge in real life

[sleek mauve]

is there a specific place within the plains to have a higher chance of finding a vile at night? i have spent 10 nights looking for them and still havent found a single one

[paper marsh]

gigachad

[shy marlin]

make sure your plains is decently sized

i tried farming some viles in a small ish plains (only 1 camp but plenty of room otherwise) and nothing came out of it

went to plains area with like 4 villages and had no issues hunting them down

[sleek mauve]

thx ill try to find some big plains then

[glass edge]

Not sure why but I've found most of mine grazing near tar pits

[fossil delta]

Its just RNG. I've found them on plains barely big enough for them to fit on.

[elder cave]

they rare

[fossil delta]

Its just RNG. I'd go many nights without seeing any, then get 3 in one night. Same plains.

[plush umbra]

@muted schooner

[paper marsh]

I dunno about rare. I average more than 1 per night whenever I’m looking for them

[shy marlin]

yea i average like 4-5 maybe 6

[elder cave]

me and 2 others did a full playthru and only found like 2 in our time

[paper marsh]

Were you actively running around large plains at night to find them?

If you sleep away every night you won’t see many viles and wraiths and 2 star Askvin and such

[ember oyster]

anyone wanna start a fresh world

[split adder]

the queen seems quite difficult

do i need to dodge instead of parrying

[paper marsh]

Parrying is generally meh against bosses, because bosses don't get staggered

[tacit crystal]

Nowadays more viable since parrying doesn't cost stamina.

[split adder]

the knockback makes it hard to hit the boss though

additionally how do i deal with the seekers spawned from the queen

[paper marsh]

Fact

[tacit crystal]

Any AoE: Himminafl, Demolisher, Bilebombs, Ember staff..

[paper marsh]

I don't do it since I take a fair chunk of damage even if it succeeds, but I imagine on normal there's not a huge diff between parry and dodge

[shy marlin]

parrying no longer takes stam tho

it's not so black and white anymore

oh nvm joel said what i said ignore me

[split adder]

the sheer amount of seeker broods is lagging my game insanely

also cornering me to kill me immediately

[worn badge]

i was about to experience the mistlands but my files decided to get corrupted and now i gotta restart

so i got no idea what the mistlands boss is like

[split adder]

rip

[shy marlin]

do you have ooze / bile bombs?

[worn badge]

i just gotta hope it doesnt happen again, it makes it hard to get comfortable in a world

[versed jackal]

don't you have any backup?

[worn badge]

it didnt work

just stayed as "Missing DB"

[chrome badge]

That's really odd, do you use mods?

[worn badge]

nah im vanilla on xbox
and it seems like the issue is if the file gets too big crashes occur often and it crashed right as it was saving

which resulted in the corruption due to log out mid save. so ig bad timing and unfortunate that it crashes at large files

[rigid lantern]

anyone had issues with a boar that just refuses to eat and wants to run to a specific area when tamed

Ive got this 2 star boar who wont eat and breed he just sits in a corner and if the pen opens he sprints off to a specific area

[lone rampart]

Was he tamed nearby? Tamed boars will often try to return to their spawn point if it's within a certain range

[strange hawk]

anyone have a commuinity server i can join and what is the password

[tepid prawn]

#1024264966712340510 best place to look, also state timezone and physical location

[plush umbra]

@muted schooner

[vast lily]

Today is valheims 5 year anniversary 🎉 🎂 🎆

[west mica]

Deep north stealth release? lol

[rich iron]

I FINNALY BEAT BIG TREE GUY 🥹

anyway now what

idk what to do :P

[nocturne wolf]

Find a place to use the item he dropped

[rich iron]

the mud key?

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, you need to find the next biome

[rich iron]

i did accidentally find a swamp while running from big tree guy

nvm bruh i died from a troll the moment i went through the teleporter and he destroyed my portal

[golden junco]

Hi, if I create a very detailed underwater world that won't overload the game, that will look good in the overall background, and will perfectly fit into the game's balance. Will you take me on as a team member?

[twin cliff]

Ahh... memories.

[twin cliff]

@rich iron The swamps are perilous, especially your first time. If someone hasn't gotten their head around managing their stamina use and the status effects that affect them, keeping their rest bonus up, and staying fed with food appropriate to the challenge? Well.. there will be some Brutal lessons waiting to be learned.

Spoiler, I guess, if you want to break your teeth until you figure it out: || The big Bonfire? it burns in the rain and provided light and rested bonus to those who sit near it long enough... and the Hoe? That tool might as well be your best friend. It's the difference between swimming with starred leeches or walking down nicely curated paths. ||

A lot of people hate on the Swamps, but it is one of my favorite Biomes.

[rich iron]

oh damn thank you dude this really helps :D

[rotund dust]

I THOUGHT IT WAS DEEP NORTH UPDATE

[next merlin]

I THOUGHT IT WAS DEEP NORTH UPDATE

[smoky saddle]

Frosted sweet bread better be good

[mortal thicket]

Whats that deepnorth stamina food?

[crisp tartan]

what part of the game are the Early Axes gonna be available?

[mortal thicket]

Early acces or axes

[crisp tartan]

sounds like they're gonna be dual wielded axes like the berserkir axes

[crisp tartan]

they added a weapon called the Early Axes

[mortal thicket]

what biome

[crisp tartan]

same i clicked so fast 😭

[crisp tartan]

idk that's why im asking

[fleet vigil]

Could be wooden dual wielded axes?

[mortal thicket]

id say probaly black forest or meadows

[fleet vigil]

Hopefully

[fleet vigil]

It is probably a mountain food

Nevermind, bread is unlocked in Plains

[mortal thicket]

yeah

[fading fable]

I'm at work, do we know when the update drops?

[weary bough]

It's out

[granite tide]

had a mini heart attack for a second

[covert fox]

I need 4 strong black metal meta guns Porcupine and black metal tower shield already crafted so need 4 more suggestions

[toxic arch]

game updated, change-log entry date 2025-02-02 :)

[thick shale]

they call them early axes I wonder

[weary bough]

They do 30 slash

[fleet vigil]

That is Black forest tier

Or smth like that

[mortal thicket]

why doesnt someone log on and check
