valheim-chat

[fleet vigil]

Yeah pls

[placid tinsel]

im on, havent unlocked the recipe yet tho

[weary bough]

They're made similarly to the dyrnwyn so you can't really tell

[mortal thicket]

what boss u up to

[placid tinsel]

oh shit really

[weary bough]

You have to find the pieces somewhere

[placid tinsel]

thats kinda cool

[fleet vigil]

I'll log on a maxed world and tell you guys

[placid tinsel]

kinda what i was expecting cause i logged onto one of my characters that has cleared ashlands and it was like the only thing i didnt unlock

maybe the bread too actually

[safe flower]

Was hoping that update was 1.0, damn

Must be close surely

[smoky saddle]

My guess is a drop between March/April

[astral bobcat]

What are the axes? I can't find them

[flat brook]

im sure they wanted to release today, since its today the 5 year anniversary. But then they thought it wasnt ready enough to release it yet. WE TRUST IN THE DEVS, lets be patient so they can release another big awesome update. !!

[upbeat crypt]

"Early axes"? we have stone axe and flint axe

[flat brook]

maybe "early" in the sense of ancient, maybe mistlands tier?

[mortal thicket]

could be that

[fleet vigil]

4 wood, 1 curious axe head, 1 Mysterious axe head

[mortal thicket]

how do you get those

what biome

[fleet vigil]

I am on god mode

I checked the recipe only

[tacit crystal]

Neat these early axes.
||30 slash at level 1.||

[long peak]

hi i just saw the patch notes too what is that i cant play the game for a while :/

[long peak]

Uuuuuu

[long peak]

is this a quest item ?

[mortal thicket]

look iron

[tacit crystal]

Dunno, went to test on test world.

[mortal thicket]

ill ask ai

[tacit crystal]

Hehe, got it: early axes -> early access.

[long peak]

uhm why am i feeling like this is the wooden version of berserkier axes ?

[fleet vigil]

Cus it is

Almost

[mortal thicket]

chat gpt is useless

[fleet vigil]

Theres no way u asked it

Bruh

[long peak]

30 slash is like flint axe

[glass edge]

Like the odin cape? Time to go treasure hunting

[long peak]

Realy

its early acces only ?

[glass edge]

No idea, prepping to start playing

[thick shale]

I dont think they'd include it in the changelogs if its early access only

[long peak]

yeah

[flat brook]

GUYS im creating i new world to find out

[long peak]

a hero

[tacit crystal]

Odin cape was reserved for alpha and beta Valheim test players.

[flat brook]

look at #screenshots

[glass edge]

Yeah, meant as in EA exclusive

Would be fantastically punny

[tacit crystal]

Probably you can find the axe heads from searching around world is my guess.

[thick shale]

I assume its from random chests in the black forest or meadows

[fleet vigil]

Yeah but where

[long peak]

i am suspicious the same

[tacit crystal]

This is my guess too.

[fleet vigil]

Probably bgorest

30 damage should be bforest tier

[hard sluice]

it would make sense because the swamp already have the battleaxe

meadow has stone and flint. bforest only bronze axe

[long peak]

i am dying in cruiosity right now

[upbeat crypt]

has anyone fond the early axes yet

[hard sluice]

if they made an alternative to the bronze axe that doesnt require to mine for copper, i think its a brillant idea.

[tacit crystal]

Troll cave inclusive? 👀

Gotta check unexplored parts in my test world to find out.

[long peak]

Holy Moly would be awsome

[hard sluice]

adding those to chests in troll caves would be great.
i bet most people avoid them. thats what i did back when i was new to the game. i didnt think there was any loot in there worth having to face a troll in melee. (but that axe would 100% be worth it)

[glass edge]

Was the first place i encountered the red troll

I came back in mountain's gear to repay him for my demise

[mint granite]

Is ps5 coming out sometime

[hard sluice]

i think console players should be encouraged by the last patch. its a lot of 'under the hood' changes, which i think means they are working on that aspect. probably to get it to ps5 soon.
but i'm just guessing.

[nimble forge]

PS5 came out in 2020

[glass edge]

Smart arse!

[hard sluice]

the main effect this patch will have on my gameplay will be that my buckler will give me half the adrenaline it used to give me on each parries... but i cant be mad, its a fix, not a nerf.

[mint granite]

Im dead lol

[mint granite]

I thought the same thing too (ive never played this game before and im actually js checking the PlayStation store every other day but it looks cool)

[nimble forge]

The main effect this patch will have on my gameplay will be a whole lot of nothing 👍

[hard sluice]

i thought they maybe would make all the shields grant 10 adrenaline on parries instead of bringing down the carapace buckler to 5.

[queen thicket]

I'm really hoping the performance goes up in my server city, it lags to 5-10 fps pretty much always from all the buildings

[glass edge]

There's a big imbalance imo between reaching adrenaline milestones as ... anything compared to a mage

[fair umbra]

What a sad Update at What a sad update for a 5-year anniversary.

[hard sluice]

i think that they don't want to balance the melee combat with the mage in terms of power. they want mage to be more powerful but cost more resources to get and use.

[sturdy shell]

Happy Bday Valheim

[buoyant aurora]

hii 🐽🐽

[hard sluice]

hows your video game going, Onkel? : P

[fair umbra]

which one?

[hard sluice]

the one that you made, that compares to what the valheim devs are doing.

[candid basalt]

So many Vikings are entitled. I don't think that's historically accurate...

[fair umbra]

It has lost its luster

[chrome badge]

For you, for me it's better than ever.

Thank you devs for a nice little 5 year surprise. 🥂

[hard sluice]

its still at the very top of my favorite games ever. and it still gets better.

[tired path]

Oh my god how did I not pick up on that

[fair umbra]

It's a great game, absolutely. But I think it's about time to bring it to an end.

[chrome badge]

The Fey Lights are really adorable.

[hard sluice]

Video games are works of art. If you want it to be treated as a commercial product, it will suck, like 90%+ of video games out there, despite how well made they are.

the devs will finish the game. we just have to be patient

[hollow token]

man, i think the early axe seems to be a version of dual axes. can't wait to feel how berserker axes do in early game.

[hard sluice]

i wonder if they modified the berserker armor set to match that next axe..

[fleet vigil]

Did anyone find the ace heads?

[tacit crystal]

#valheim-chat message

[fleet vigil]

Axe

[mystic quail]

5 years in early access

[chrome badge]

Thanks for letting us take part in development Iron Gate!

[thorny lake]

Thanks for letting me play as my ancestors Iron Gate

[candid basalt]

I love the fey lights

[sinful spire]

IS THIS THE BEST UPDATE IN VALHEIM HISTORY ?! ?=!?!?!?!?! I THINK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tacit crystal]

Has anyone figured out the new consumable ||frosted sweetbread||?

[candid basalt]

Barley flour

And other plains stuff

Cloudberries, honey. Something else

[tacit crystal]

I mean, the workstation.

[merry pebble]

Well, we do have pretty much only 2 choices 😄

[candid basalt]

Food prep table?

[tacit crystal]

Ah, figured it out already.

It also requires ||egg||.

[candid basalt]

Aha.

Sealed tower ftw

[tacit crystal]

Checked some possible POIs in black forest and meadows plus traders for ||new axe heads||, didn't find them.
-# In unexplored areas ofc.

[scarlet spoke]

I guess it's too early for this axes

[dusky anvil]

So, I reloaded a past save and got all of my belongings

But there is a problem with getting to the third boss

And that's the fact that it is both very far away with no shortcuts

And the path is too long for a Karve and too small for a Longboat

[unborn dew]

What was the tweak on the beserker armour? I couldnt find it in the patch note, only that there was a tweak..

And does multiplayer mean uou can also fight eachother and their bases, or just fighting the bosses with more people?

[candid basalt]

You can turn friendly fire on, and bases are as easy to destroy as your own So depends on what you and your friends decide on.

[placid delta]

play with friends like co-op

[formal pendant]

the axes seems not to be on the lootpool of the skeletons chambers in the black forest

I just explored a ton and not a single one

[dusky anvil]

Anyone able to help or give advice?

[rich iron]

bruh i finnally got my items back and went to the swamp not five minutes after i JUST got my items i died from being poisened by a slime

[flat stag]

New update - awesome!

[heady parcel]

There is no such thing as "too far" for a karve. I do most of my exploration in the karve, it is so much more agile than the longship.

[tacit crystal]

Okay, seems like the other ||axe head|| is found in ||WoodHouse6 in Meadows|| according to someone on Reddit.

[twin cliff]

If you've find bees and copper, you might want to do a little digging about what all can come from that. And now you know one of those things that might get ya and a way to work against it. 🙂

Also, might as well make a second or third set of troll/copper/bear armor for quicker retrievals. 🙂 I've been routing for you from the office!

[vernal karma]

i think i hate the addition of the bear to the black forest.

[twin cliff]

Oh! Badass! That is definitely an area that needed more reasons to not skip ahead of.

[vernal karma]

Also, why fix something that was perfect, black forest was perfect....

[twin cliff]

I would have rather seen them in the meadows... which badly needs an Apex Predator, since every other Biome seems to have one.

[vernal karma]

i disagree, meadows should be relaxed

[heady parcel]

They cross over to meadows often enough

[tacit crystal]

Meadows is meant to be starter area.

[vernal karma]

you can get troll caves in meadows anyway too.

[tired path]

Gotta have Fallen Valkyries roaming the Meadows with a 0.1% chance! That'll make the game fun

[vernal karma]

meadows could have some rare night time creature, but more like a fun gimmic then a regular occurance

Nattmara? 😄

[chrome badge]

Morgen wants to visit the meadows too!

[heady parcel]

Hell yeah, fire hazards on too so they burn down the entire woods

[twin cliff]

I mean, fair, but if every zone that follows has a large lumbering monster that forces you to deal with it... and the meadows is the starter area... then does it not follow that a creature with stats appropriate for the meadow shouldn't fill that roll?

[chrome badge]

The first large monster is just a falling tree. 😄

[heady parcel]

Truly, trolls and bears already serve that purpose. And wolves. Mobs don't really respect biome boundaries. Hell, I had a player on my server who was slaughtered by a fenring on his first night. Mountain close to spawn, it probably followed a deer and yeah...

[twin cliff]

I've only every seen a troll cave spawn into the meadow as an overlap from a bordering dark forest.... and I don't remember suggesting any kind of end game monster here?

I just said that adding a second troll to the dark forest, which was already a pretty solid biome, instead something scaled appropriately for the meadows seems like a missed opportunity.

[formal pendant]

chest that hasnt been open in an already generated area cant still give new update loot?

[somber pelican]

Happy 5 years of valheim

[placid delta]

prolly not since it was already generated 🤷‍♂️

[dusky anvil]

Okay, for context:

• First time playing
• Bonemass spawn is behind a string of islands spanning over half the map with no rivers for shortcuts
• Terrain is very difficult: Longships are too big to fit through shallow waters in Swamp Biomes, Karves are too weak to deal with serpents and terrain damage, and too slow to escape Deathsquitos and Goblins

[heady parcel]

There doesn't need to spawn anything badder in Meadows, truly. Monsters wander over from neighbouring biomes, and once you start beating bosses anything goes at night. There is also the draugr villages with - if you are unlucky - starred elites and archers to really shake things up.

[rich iron]

oh alright and thank you man you're very peak :3

[dusky anvil]

So I'm wondering if someone can join my server temporarily just to take a ship over to the spawn, build a Portal, and leave

[twin cliff]

Sure, but I'm definitely not talking about that? Draugr villages can only occur a ship's travel away from spawn (unless you have a super long island), so really isn't unlocked until dark forest unless you are brave/stupid enough to take the trip in a raft.

Monsters wandering from other biomes are... from other biomes? That's like saying that I don't need something because the neighbors across the street have it and sometimes they wander over.

I think I'm being stupid and not communicating correctly, so I guess I'm sorry. 🙁

[heady parcel]

I try not to sail too close to hostile coasts, it is possible to follow a coastline without aggroing the squitos. Serpents can be avoided or killed, they won't spawn close to shore and if one chases you down it is easy enough to make a quick landfall to repair the boat if it chews it up some.

[dusky anvil]

Is anyone able to help with this? This tends to take ages for me, and I really don't want to go through it all again just to inevitably die

[dusky anvil]

I didn't say there were no countermeasures. Just that this takes forever, and one wrong move sets me back at least 1-2 days

[heady parcel]

But yes, the longship is not ideal to navigate narrow rivers/streams.

[twin cliff]

If no one can help ya in the next two hours, I can assist when I get off of work.

[dusky anvil]

I may be asleep by then, but we'll get there when we get there

[tacit crystal]

Okay, I found the other ||axe head|| too.
It's ||⁨WoodHouse2⁩||.

[sinful fulcrum]

I need help, for some reason valheim is causing my computer to crash with the 0x133 watchdog violation dpc

[supple fossil]

was there an update last night?

[sinful fulcrum]

but when playing other games that literally require giga GPU (elden ring, enshrouded, you name it) it does not happen

[jade otter]

help) where is it?

[tacit crystal]

Added it in my earlier comment.

[formal pendant]

yes, I just found it

[spiral gate]

So basically everything needed in ||the meadows biome||

[placid delta]

a patch

[supple fossil]

so... does that mean i need to update my dedicated?

[steel mica]

Ooo boi the bug fixes

Im excited to get back home

[west mica]

This might not very helpful but both of those games us a custom engine whilst Heim uses Unity

[steel mica]

and qol

[sinful fulcrum]

this might be it

[dusky anvil]

If anyone wants to help me with getting to Bonemass, im available for giving details

[placid delta]

if you are using mods .. it means you need to wait on the authors to update the mods first

[sinful fulcrum]

0x133 DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION is killing me

[dusky anvil]

It is an unbelievably long journey vs what it could have been

I can't send screenshots, but the journey by river/water is tedious

[steel mica]

Are the qols visible in the patchnotes in the in-game menu bottom left?

[west mica]

Theyre violating the watchdog theyre violating the watchcat

[placid delta]

looks like they are

[steel mica]

gtk but I did check the detailed news section so all good

[dusky anvil]

So, how can I check things like password and world seed while In game?

[placid delta]

dont think you can check pw while in game
seed is simple with /printseeds

[tidal thicket]

I wonder how much of a difference there is with their update to the game engine and areas with a lot of instances

[oak river]

What's the deal with the new axe? Is it like an early game pair of berserker axes?

[placid delta]

basically

[oak river]

Also I love the optimization updates. Sounds like Ashland's might not lag so bad.

[oak river]

Are both axe heads found as early as meadows? How good is it

[serene talon]

it does like 30 damage

so like black forest tier

[oak river]

How rare?

[serene talon]

and you can make them in meadows yes

[placid delta]

meadows, yes

[tacit crystal]

Damage between flint and bronze axe (flint 20, Early Axes 30, bronze 40), but are found possibly early in Meadows without needing bronze for cutting birch and oak trees. But damage output will outperform bronze axe.

[steel mica]

How rare is this early axe given to us?

Or rather how rare are the 2 pieces?

[spiral gate]

Took some time to find them even in the creative mode, but both are found in Meadows

[tacit crystal]

Dunno about the rarity, I found them from first locations they're found.

[placid delta]

2nd attempt at one structure ... 3rd attempt at the other structure ... just prolly random like most.

[spiral gate]

And it's very cheap to upgrade. Will be such a good weapon against bears and abominations

[tacit crystal]

Probably will carry long way till Ashlands until getting them upgraded to berserkir axes.

-# ||Obvious joke||.

[formal pendant]

one question, I dont want to generate much new terrain. If I got the houses but didnt generate the axes, I can reload the save and might generate next time I generate the same terrain again or the chest loot its always fix?

[sharp girder]

how do i get the early axe stuff now?

[placid delta]

run around and find the stuff to make them. once you have touched the required items, you will unlock them.

[sharp girder]

well yeah, i got a lot in my current world just idk what unlocks it lol

been rummaging for 20mins looking to be honest

[chrome badge]

They're found in meadows pois

[sharp girder]

ohhhh word thank you

[frigid anvil]

How tf do you find silver, am I doing smth wrong? I have the wishbone equipped, ran through two whole mountain biomes without a ping

[rotund parrot]

Try to look in mountains that are very high, it should be found above the point where obsidian start spawning

[frigid anvil]

I see

So basically just go find more mountains? 😭

[rotund parrot]

Look for high ones and you can see it from a mile away

[queen harness]

nice they added garlands and you cant destroy them

[dire night]

i wonder with the rp servers... is it more... rp as a viking in typing? or is it voice proxy chat similar to ark? but when you chat.. i noticed that it is world based and not proxy chat?

[frozen fable]

General rule is if you are in a mountain biome and you are able to see drakes, then you can likely find silver

[frigid anvil]

I have no idea what those are

So ig I’m in the wrong place 😂

[frozen fable]

Well you will know them when you see them

[placid delta]

drakes and/or stone golems 😄

[winged matrix]

esp?

[dire night]

when u see baddies?

[rich iron]

ddi killing tree guy raise the dificulty or smt? cause i just saw a one star bear for the first time and most things were actually one star too

before i rarely saw them

[rotund parrot]

RNG being RNG

[placid delta]

no, that is just rng for ya hehe

[acoustic panther]

Cries cause I can't play until the mods get updated XD

[foggy glacier]

Yay an update! Now I have to go explore more meadows.

[rich iron]

😭

[foggy glacier]

Morgen gjall.

[steel mica]

Doodly noted

[dire night]

i stopped playing the game a long time ago and wanna get back into it.. but idk... i like doing a community because friends makes the game more enjoyable.. but they tend to beat the game faster then me or make it too easy.. and if i do it solo.. then sometimes i find a challenging fight that idk how to beat without cheap methods

[rotund parrot]

In my opinion if you want to fully understand the game playing solo is the way to do it as you won't skip any step of progression and if you find it too challenging or time consuming there's world modifiers that you can adjust to your liking

[placid delta]

totally feel this

[dire night]

yea...that is very reasonable.. because some of the features.. i just don't have time for... like farming a bunch of materials for a base.. but one of the fun features to me about the game is the base building.. and getting to make a cool viking base and show your new player friend who just made a barn.. and say.. look how cool my 3 roof barn looks

and doing stuff with friends.. feels nice..

but you gotta play when the time is right for both of you is the problem

[tacit crystal]

World modifiers have option to increase item drops, to lessen mining/woodcutting/farming etc.

[covert fox]

What’s the best blackmetal weapons ? Going to mistland soon don’t wanna die in there lol

[placid delta]

scheduling time to play ..ugh

[thorn citrus]

in the plains I like the atgeir

altough, the frostner is kind of the best weapon in the mistlands

at least when it comes about dealing with seekers

[hazy vale]

Almost ALL of my mods are now broken... even lost my character when I reverted back a version of Valheim. I really wish there was a way for games to update without doing this...

[candid basalt]

Modding an early access game is a choice

[silk token]

i cant think of a weapon that doesnt work against mistlands mobs, just make sure to have a bow or spear for flying enemies

[thorn citrus]

I mean it's early access and it's the risks of modding

[hazy vale]

I mean... lack of empathy doesn't help people when they are frustrated.

[candid basalt]

Empathy doesn’t help either. A response of “well, yeah” or “that sucks” accomplishes the same thing.

[dire night]

that feeling you get when you make a base next to the coast just to find out.. that it was actually a lake and not a ocean

[candid basalt]

Either way, wait for mods to update if you mod.

[candid basalt]

So many times

[earnest pivot]

Has someone loaded up the patch and popped into the Ashlands yet with a friend? Is this the desync fix we've been waiting for?

I'm very anxious and hopeful

[hazy vale]

gaslighting is even worse. OK I'm done here seeing that people are being so dismissive. Bad energy.

[candid basalt]

K

[earnest pivot]

Sorry to hear that my dude. I hope you have a better day

[hazy vale]

I'm not male... but appreciate the thought and ty.

[earnest pivot]

Dude (gender neutral) :/

[placid delta]

Many blessings to you on this Monday. May the enegry realign and it be a better day for you.

[earnest pivot]

But this?

[outer plover]

anyone know wat exact tweaks they made to berserker

[dire night]

i love it to.. find a pre abandon base in the wilds.. think.. man gonna make this my base... just to destroy the whole thing.. and remake it into a better one with no grass inside and everything even

[tough mulch]

It all starts with
"I think I can change this part"

[earnest pivot]

I may just have to reboot the dusty Dedi and track some people down, but there is nothing more that I want more than to have the Desync issues in the Ashlands taken care of. And from the wording they used I have never been more hopeful.

[tough mulch]

And before you know it, your standing on a gausten castle

[candid basalt]

Draugr villages are good for base layouts

[thorn citrus]

I'm sorry I didn't meant to be rude but it doesn't really makes me feel empathy it's just a basic thing, if you mod a game it becomes unstable and..that's about it

[tough mulch]

Hmm what makes you say that, just curious why its good base layout

When I see drauger village all I see is a sausage farm

[hazy vale]

one doesn't have to dismiss when another person is upset, that's my point.

but let's just let it go now

[candid basalt]

Shows a spot for main hall, outlying building for forge, workbenches, etc. and walls

Can give an idea for people who haven’t built more than a box with a roof

[tough mulch]

I feel attacked

[thorn citrus]

I feel attacked too

[candid basalt]

Channel your rage to decorate your boxes!

[tough mulch]

Listen I added a moder tear as room lighting, its an upgrade I swear

[forest ravine]

Hi. Did ashlands performance improve with this update? That part about performance and a lot of instances looks promising but can't test currently.

[near furnace]

a little but, but not enough

will add more fixes since the goal is smoooooth performance even in ashlands

[tough mulch]

Hmm so bad weather is still going to ruin my day in ashlands I guess?

Take your time

[thorn citrus]

is it bas if I'm considering doing that now ?

[shy marlin]

can't wait to run home and test the performance improvements

Also anyone know if the new axes can cut birch and the stats of the sweetbread?

[dusky anvil]

So to be clear

[tough mulch]

You can copy my homework, just change it a bit
:adds two moder tears

[dusky anvil]

All I have to do is send someone the server seed, join code, and password, and then they can join the server i am in

[tough mulch]

Yes

Thats how it should be

[dusky anvil]

Good to know

[tough mulch]

Not server seed though

[paper marsh]

New axes look fun

[tough mulch]

Just join code and password

[dusky anvil]

Guy offered to help me out with delivering a portal to build a base close to Bonemass

I got really unlucky with the spawn >_>

[tough mulch]

Dayum I remember how sht that bonemass spawn was

[earnest pivot]

Thank you Smiffe. We shall await the fix in the meade hall, please disregard the noises in the meantime. Skál!

[paper marsh]

Also queue the people joining the server to say "GUYS!!!! I saw Valheim got an update... Why nothing in Deep North yet??? I go there and its just empty? Why did my game not update?"

[dusky anvil]

Yeah. The travel time would easily be an hour lowballing it

[tough mulch]

Nawhhhh they can't be that impatient right

[forest ravine]

||Saw on reddit that it can, you can skip bronze axe entirely with the early axes, and 43 stam 43 health for the food||

[tough mulch]

New axe?

[keen trench]

found something but heavy spoiler alert

[tawny olive]

hey guys, i killed Eikthyr and i just made my level 3 workbench and created the smelter and forge. Now, what do I need to advance to the next boss?

[forest ravine]

My bad

[placid delta]

explore the tall pines

[tough mulch]

Typical progress, you go to dark forest, get smacked by a troll or two and mine copper and tin to make bronze

[thorn citrus]

I'm currently building a base so any idea might help

[tawny olive]

ah thank you guys:)

[tough mulch]

Wrong guy, I only make boxes

What was this type of architecture again.... Oh yeah, brutalist, im a brutalist architect

[candid basalt]

builds moder head out of wood with tears as eyes frostner in mouth for frost effect

[tough mulch]

Dude above seems to be an experienced builder, ask him

[thorn citrus]

hahaha

[candid basalt]

Framing and using basic door snap points and corewood logs to change elevation makes a difference

[thorn citrus]

corewodd for elevation ?

what do you mean by that

[candid basalt]

You can use log snap points to offset up and down

[near furnace]

yes and 43,43, 30 minutes

[candid basalt]

I’m at work or I would show you

[deep fulcrum]

Daaaamn. 5 years ago? No way. It was like 6 weeks ago max I swear 😮

[pure mulch]

anyone know if the new items are permanently added or limited time? like do I need to log on to get some of this stuff or will it be there when deep north comes out?

[thorn citrus]

1 month tops

[candid basalt]

6 weeks and 1400 hours to be exact

[near furnace]

permanent

[tough mulch]

Nice

[pure mulch]

im still prolly gonna log on lol. been feeling the itch

[tough mulch]

Imma log on just to see what the new axe looks like

[thorn citrus]

where can I craft the new axes ?

I couldn't see them in my forge

[tacit crystal]

I'm looking forward how you will beat the game with Early Axes.

[candid basalt]

Have to find the axe heads

[shy marlin]

does it require metal?

if it doesn't... makes a certain run easier

[tacit crystal]

They're crafted in workbench, and you need 2 new axe heads to craft them.

[thorn citrus]

oh ?

find them ? like in

[tacit crystal]

Nope, just wood and new axe heads.

[forest ravine]

meadows buildings

[tacit crystal]

In meadows.

[thorn citrus]

really ? that early ?

[candid basalt]

Yep

[thorn citrus]

and it cuts birch ?

sounds kind of strong

[tacit crystal]

Well, they're kinda rare maybe.

[candid basalt]

I like it. No more rolling trees to birch

[tough mulch]

So I dont need to emply eityr to cut early wood for me anymore?

[thorn citrus]

you can kill him and craft a pickaxe then a bronze axe

[tough mulch]

No no, spwan him, get finewood, skip bronze

[green reef]

looks like Sweetbread is a post-yag food

[candid basalt]

Trolls for bronze and fine wood is the meta

[candid basalt]

You can get eggs before yag

[tough mulch]

I use troll for corewood

[tacit crystal]

Corewood can be cut with stone axe.

[thorn citrus]

but it doesn't give you any xp

[green reef]

yag is probably easier than the sealed tower. hah

[tough mulch]

What seriously

[steel mica]

Man is taking mental notes 👀

[tough mulch]

My life is a lie

[paper marsh]

Yeah I tend to not bother with trolls for wood/ores because I like the xp

[steel mica]

Kinds curious how well I'll do with a no armor run

I still get hit quite often

[tough mulch]

Hmmm from my experience, possible, but plains will be a pain

[tacit crystal]

Easiest no metal run ever.

[west mica]

I do lots of no armor runs

Run back to my corpse with no armor

[tough mulch]

Lmao

[candid basalt]

Bear armor is like being nekkid

[tough mulch]

Its kinda worse since you take more dmg than being naked

[shy marlin]

also what's the berserker armor change?

[candid basalt]

I’m just talking about the coverage

Warpaint ain’t clothes!

[tough mulch]

The headpiece counts

[whole narwhal]

Do the parts for the || new axes || spawn in any instance of the || two meadows locations|| or only with a certain percentage? So would it actually be a quick strategy to find the || meadows locations rather than getting into bronze age ||?

[steel mica]

Can the ||early axe|| chop birch and oak?

Imagine if it cant chop ash trees😭

But stone axe can

[tough mulch]

This new axe is dope

It changes early game for axe users fr fr

[steel mica]

Haven't seen it but im more excited on the performance improvements since im a bit of a base builder

[green reef]

they stole my hotkey for changing build pieces to this emoji radial. lol

[twilit crystal]

i just came here to say that the new garlands are amazing and i will be spamming them all over everything i build. lol

[steel mica]

Eh you gotta make sacrifices at one point, plus people do like emotes

[candid basalt]

What’s the hot key?

[green reef]

T

[unborn dew]

What was the tweak on the beserker armour? I couldnt find it in the patch note, only that there was a tweak..

[pure otter]

haha I got on here to ask something this morning and y'all are on about "new" axes and sweetbread or whatever, I'm like... what? Pleasant surprise this morning

[tough mulch]

Recent patch

[pure otter]

no yeah, I figured it out

I hope my mods aren't all fugazi'd

they... probably are. I do try to keep them minimal and popular, so it shouldn't be too bad

[tough mulch]

Ummm someone came by earlier saying their mods are f'd

And something something about the rollback not fixing it

[pure otter]

shit, good to know, haha.

rollback not fixing it is weird

[gray sand]

Gooooooooooood 😈

[green reef]

AC didnt appear to change.

[meager fossil]

I love the celebratory hat! Looks like a viking hat I was considering for my reenactment set!

[green reef]

Berserk effect looks the same. hmm

[dusky anvil]

How do you pull up chat again?

[candid basalt]

Enter on pc

[dusky anvil]

thx

[green reef]

I have ingredients to make Unbaked Sweetbread but it wont let me make it. ( I think I figured it out)

[mint bluff]

what exactly does early axes mean? i havent gotten a chance to play yet

[tacit crystal]

They're axes that you get early.

Also they rhyme with early access.

[tacit crystal]

Also might be possible they're old axe models from alpha/beta version of Valheim, the descriptions hint strongly for that.

That's my hunch tho.

[green reef]

I can't find any new axe recipies

[candid basalt]

Check meadow building for axe heads

[vast jewel]

This new emote wheel UI looks way too clean.

Is this a tease for a full UI overhaul? Hopefully.

[green reef]

looks very console oriented

[vast jewel]

Very console oriented. Very clean. Very high res.

[merry pebble]

I am glad we got a way different from typing into console/chat 🙂

[candid basalt]

Much wow.

[vast jewel]

It is nice but it looks so out of place with all of the other UI elements.

[candid basalt]

I can never remember the emotes so yes 🙂

[unreal jolt]

idk what all this hubbub about broken mods is, mine work great

ran bepinex, it did its magic, and now i'm swingin my early access

[merry pebble]

We wouldnt know 😄

[rich iron]

i keep trying to grow carrots but the time their grown theres only like one left in the dirt

[merry pebble]

Put them further appart 🙂

[candid basalt]

Planting too close together

[rich iron]

WHY IS THIS A MECHANIC IN THE GAME

[green reef]

you can view what they are upset about when you hover over them should say "healthy" otherwise it'll tell you why they aren't happy

[candid basalt]

We are farmers. Dum duh dumdum dum dum dum

They need to be a meter apart with nothing covering them

[rich iron]

thats in the beehive but idk about the crops

[rich iron]

:(

[unreal jolt]

they should add huge trophy crops you can only get at high farming lvl

like those state fair pumpkins the size of a van

[pure otter]

I really hope they fix trinkets. IT's a cool idea, but I've literally never once proced my trinket, they just don't matter at all

[candid basalt]

I proc mine all the time

[tacit crystal]

According to Smiffe they work just as intented.

[vast jewel]

Are you using weapons that give you a lot of adrenaline?

[unreal jolt]

imagine someone walks into your tavern on a server and across from the entryway, hung on the wall... BIG carrot

the pride of sverga farmsdottir

[candid basalt]

Current mistwalker and carapace buckler

[pure otter]

I think I play kind of normally? Like I run around and fight stuff with my melee weapon, including yagluth recently. I dunno

[green reef]

I just finished a no-portal playthrough and never once made the trinket, so fairly optional I would say. I previously used bronze stamina one, and the fuling bezerker evasion ones.

[vast jewel]

You need to check your gear. See how much adrenaline it gives.

Also your trinket might require a lot of it.

[unreal jolt]

in my experience, my trinkets almost never proc during combat with standard enemies unless i parry the shit out of them

[candid basalt]

I parry the shit out of them

[merry pebble]

Rather than your gear, your actions in combat are more important 🙂

[vast jewel]

Both contribute though.

[idle storm]

My focusing earrings proc pretty often when i'm running around the Ashlands. Everywhere else just doesn't have enough targets to shoot at.
For melee it depends heavily on playstyle. Parry & dodge yes, otherwise no. Don't even bother as a bow user imo, you're just wasting the inventory slot.

[merry pebble]

True, but actions quite a bit more than gear 🙂

[vast jewel]

Knives supreme for procing.

[merry pebble]

Also, trinkets are meant to help you in tougher/bigger battles, not in your average 2-3 mob encounters

[vast jewel]

Although I think fists are the best class/weapon in this game.

[idle storm]

To be fair the bear fist and vilebone claws are pretty strong for their tier

[unreal jolt]

all the times my trinkets don't proc, i can directly attribute it to the battle just being over

[gray sand]

Sword A = +1 adrenaline per hit.
Sword B = +1 adrenaline per hit.
Sword C = +1 adrenaline per hit.
Sword D = +1 adrenaline per hit.

Yes, gear matters so much 😁

[unreal jolt]

usually 2-3 atgeir spins are enough to clear whatever encounter, so...

[vast jewel]

All fist related stuff are insanely strong.

Get the best fist weapon which deals both slash and pierce damage at the same time. Press R to immediately unequip and deal blunt damage. FIST SUPREME!

[idle storm]

Fenris claws are nowhere near the level of Frostner or the silver sword. Or draugr fang. They're not terrible but as far as mountain-tier weapons go they're firmly mid. Bear fist and vilebone claws compare much better to their respective tiers.

[acoustic panther]

So i have to start a new world is what I am hearing

[placid delta]

if its modded it wont matter until the mod authors can update their codes .. the best thing to do is be patient and give them grace and time to get things corrected. They want their mods to work just as much as you want them to work.

[vast jewel]

I'd almost say they're better in my opinion.

[acoustic panther]

Who said mods?

[idle storm]

They're objectively not. That doesn't mean you're not allowed to like them better of course, but they just don't have the raw numbers and frost/spirit damage.

[placid delta]

#valheim-chat message

Its the last thing you said in this channel ...

[vast jewel]

Hairy men use fists. I'm built like the great wall of China. Arms bigger than the ocean tides. When I punch steel it forms into the shape of my fists.

[acoustic panther]

Nothing in my last message you replied to said mods. With all my meadows being explored and discorvered and the new stuff imma have to start over

Like all i have left is deep north

[green reef]

all meadows? amazing.

[placid delta]

*bows back ....
My apologies then

[acoustic panther]

According to the world generator website

[green reef]

I just did a quick spin around a world made a couple days ago, chests never yet opened, not sure if they should have had axe heads or something or not, didn't find anything new. not sure if I should have.

[merry pebble]

The loot is decided once the chest is generated, not upon opening 🙂

[green reef]

have to be new worlds then?

[merry pebble]

Or previously not generated area

[unreal jolt]

is it practical to tame and raise lox at all, been trying real hard but it feels like trying to wrangle a sentient train car

[green reef]

like 100m?

[unreal jolt]

they keep aggroing random deathsquito and obliterating their pens in 2 seconds with the aoe stomp

[tacit crystal]

400ish.

[merry pebble]

Iirc its more around 300 or bit more 🤔 not sure atm tho

[green reef]

sure, they are relatively easy to tame, value question might be interesting though

[chrome locust]

is any of of the new valheim things limited time (like the maypole)

[chrome locust]

whats an axe head?

[unreal jolt]

3 just walked right into my moats so i threw cloudberries down, taming was free, actually penning them has been the problem

most of my moat bridges are out due to lox related incidents

[placid delta]

no .. they are permanent

[tacit crystal]

They are added permanently.

[chrome locust]

ok thanks

[tacit crystal]

Head for an axe.

[placid delta]

the metal part of an axe

[chrome locust]

i dont remember that being a thing, is it new?

and what type of axe does it make

[tacit crystal]

Ok serious, 2 new axe heads added for new dual axe weapon.

[merry pebble]

You mean the wedge? 👀
(can be wood too ofc 😄 )

[green reef]

hmm I didn't see any new recipies for axe heads. maybe I needed to pick up some metals?

[merry pebble]

Afaik you cant craft them 🙂

[tacit crystal]

You need to find them in meadows.

[placid delta]

I be good wit da words of da waorld ...

Yes, wedge would be more accurate

[merry pebble]

-# I meant the bit of metal or wood inserted at the top of the handle for purpose of securing the axe head to it

[unreal jolt]

"they were bros, man" what

[placid delta]

oh .. well hells bells .. lmsao

[tacit crystal]

You broke the code... again.

[unreal jolt]

yeah uh, all the lox are dead

they did take about 1/3rd of their HP off but um. literally bowled my house over in the attempt

[lusty onyx]

Still not cake but ill take frosted sweetbread 👍👍

[unreal jolt]

definitely NOT keeping lox around in the future, they spawn in the wild more than enough

[idle storm]

They're okay for riding (much better for transporting ore over land than a cart) but you either leave them free-ranging or in a pit in the ground or terrain-walled pen.
Or, you know, bring them to a biome without deathsquitos.

For food i agree they're more than plentiful enough in the wild though.

[green reef]

yeah, lox taming works best on multi-player playthroughs where different people can go check on them and butcher them and such. riding them can be interesting, but

[unreal jolt]

who gave lox the right to be this cute and this dangerous at the same time

[green reef]

after taming them, its fun to take them a good distance a way from anything that matters and let them be free. nice peaceful meadow several hundred meters from the base.

[unreal jolt]

unfortunately this plains is one of the islands that has all plains surrounding a mountain

and i am wholly uninterested in transporting any livestock by boat until we get like. cages or tow boats for animals

[pure otter]

you might try keeping them in a earthworks pen

[unreal jolt]

the weirdest part to get used to is definitely the lox just pathing right over the unpathable meme bridges on my moats

might try a big hole in the ground, see how it goes

or maybe just big parking stalls that block line of sight with enemies

[coarse otter]

Im curious what the new build pieces are

[rich iron]

plains is good right? :D

[green reef]

ooo Mysterous Axe Head

[candid basalt]

Now to find something curious…

[green reef]

sheesh. okay, 10 more chests

[unreal jolt]

man, chicken meat kinda sucks doesn't it

prolly some recipe involving it i don't have yet, lox club sandwich or smth

[lone rampart]

Chicken meat is great

[green reef]

Honey Glazed Chicken should be a pretty good meal for all of Mistlands, it's also one of those long term ones that work well to make sure you always eating something when at home building base or whatever.

[unreal jolt]

ah yeah i don't have honey glazed chicken unlocked

i wonder why 🤔

[green reef]

uses a mistland ingredient

[unreal jolt]

oh :[

[candid basalt]

Jotun puffs

[unreal jolt]

never actually seen the mistlands before

and from what i hear, i won't even when i get there

[candid basalt]

When you find a mist free area it is gorgeous

[gray sand]

It is gorgeous in general.

[candid basalt]

And in specific

[green reef]

Curious indeed

[hexed pawn]

anyon got an ETA for when epicloot mod gets updated for new val update?

[foggy glacier]

someone in #mods-issues or #mods-discussion might

[lone rampart]

Please have some patience and grace. The modders will work to get things back in shipshape but it literally just dropped this morning

[hexed pawn]

tyty

[wet locust]

Oooohhh baby. Bouta start up a new playthrough with 6 others soon! Can’t wait!! I want to stick with a specific weapon class the whole playthrough. Any suggestions? I did mace last time soooo….

[paper marsh]

Axes have gotten a lot of love lately, could be fun

Spears are criminally underrated and I love them, but I also swap weapons every biome. If you're set to sticking to one type, pierce might not be the move

[green reef]

really it didn't take me too long to find the axes, but I made a new world specifically to search

[heady parcel]

They need previously unexplored sites as usual, right?

[paper marsh]

I believe so

[heady parcel]

Then I might need to do the same, haven't found any meadows in my world in a really long time.

[paper marsh]

I think chest contents spawn when the chest is generated (I.e that terrain is generated)

[nocturne wolf]

Has anyone found the chances yet? I can’t right now.

[wet locust]

Are spears that good? I can’t throw them for crap lol

[tough reef]

How good are the early axes? Are they just joke weapons or are they actually decent?

[green reef]

they cut down birch trees.

[tough mulch]

They are good early weapons

Upgrade cost is extremely cheap

[tough reef]

Oh wow, that's surprising for a meadows weapon to cut birch

[paper marsh]

Spears are very good. Their only major downside imo is just that they're pierce damage which is rough against some enemies.

Spears:

• Do high damage, often times letting you stagger smaller enemies like greydwarves or fulings with one hit
• Attack quickly and dont depend on a 3 hit combo, allowing you high dps while also letting you get a bit greedy with the # of attacks before needing to dodge or parry to avoid an attack
• Level INSANELY quickly. They for some reason get more xp per hit than any other melee weapon, which paired with fast attacks gives quick levels
• Has a small attack area which can be seen as a downside because it doesn't hit many enemies at once, but I kinda like it because it doesn't split damage on walls inside dungeons or near trees/rocks
• Can be thrown as an extra utility. Does pretty high damage honestly, though it won't compete with a bow build
• Spears are usually cheap af to craft and upgrade. Just compare fang spear and silver sword

[gray sand]

In terms of rank 1 Slash

Stone: 15
Flint: 20
Early: 30
Bronze: 40

So they kind of fit right where they are for combat.
As a tool - far superior to Flint.

[tough mulch]

I heard the exp thing is because devs switch up the throw exp with the stab one so thats why its fast to lvl them up

[paper marsh]

Interesting. would make sense

[green reef]

The strangest part of Early Axes is that they are called Early Axes.

they should be called Ancient Axes or something

[gray sand]

^ Someone doesn't get the pun.

[tough mulch]

Early axe is the name of the new axe, I think thats what they meant

[long peak]

guys there is nothing for limited time right this early axes are a game addition ?

[gray sand]

Fully aware, and is why I replied exactly the way I did.

[gray sand]

They are not a limited time thing, no.

[long peak]

good

[tough mulch]

Op misread

I havent found a single axe head yet,

Its in the meadows right?

[west mica]

Be careful saying things should be named literally
Thats how I had my new username forced on me

[tough mulch]

Should be in chest right

[gray sand]

They also have a faster 1-swing than Bronze Axe, so are even better for woodcutting in that regard.

[west mica]

Is it a new world? Or at least an area of a world you have been before?
I'm pretty sure chest contents are generated when you are nearby, so in old worlds with chests that have been generated already they probably wont contain a new item

[tough mulch]

New worlds

[paper marsh]

Queue the RedCapGreenShroom name

[west mica]

Are you defo on the new patch?

[tough mulch]

My problem with the name is that search results take it literally

[west mica]

I'm pretty sure that its just gonna be rare
I had a playthrough after call to arms and never came across the new arena point of interest

[stoic beacon]

so i just bought this game

how do i start

whats the goal to progress towards

[tough mulch]

Ehhh go in start game, and listen to the bird

[balmy plank]

Talk to the birds!

[paper marsh]

Listening to bird really is the way, figuring everything out is part of the joy

[tough mulch]

Lorewise, odin sends you, a pantless dude to deal with his old enemies so the goal is to kill all the bosses in the game

[stoic beacon]

the bird freaks me out

[balmy plank]

Talk to it anyway.

[gray sand]

Did you read the opening scrawl?

[balmy plank]

And pick up everything.

[tough mulch]

Punch it

[stoic beacon]

no i let it play in the background while scrolling tiktok till it ended

[stoic beacon]

i feel like this is a canon event i should avoid

[stable raft]

Whoever came up with the Early Axes pun, I appreciate you.

[balmy plank]

Maybe pay attention to the game you are playing? I dunno...

[gray sand]

Actively ignoring information in favor of brainrot would be why you have questions... that tracks.

[tough mulch]

Skill issue, people have two eyes and two sides of brain, should be possible to dual task

[stoic beacon]

is there any reason i should be getting passively insulted when i havent done anything wrong to annoy you people?

[tough mulch]

No no thats just how that person is

[stoic beacon]

doesnt make it alr but ok

[unreal jolt]

scrolling tiktok the moment you get even slightly bored isn't good for your brain though please don't do that

[stoic beacon]

why would i sit and read a star wars loading screen when im tryna play the game

[gray sand]

So that you know what you're doing?

[proven marsh]

Is thsi ragebait

[stoic beacon]

was a bunch of gibberish at the start so why would i bother continue reading

[nocturne wolf]

You can skip it in the pause menu

[gray sand]

Instead of ignoring the game text, then coming to get the exact same text from Discord?
Either way you are reading...

Oh the future of humanity is so, so bright...

[stoic beacon]

imma just block you, youre genuinely useless and only input yourself to feed ego

[tough mulch]

Eh, the early intro is just minor lore, talk to the bird though and listen to what it says, also as per all games, remember to touch everything

[gray sand]

You're*

[stoic beacon]

see i dont care ab some lore i just wanna play the game, thank you for ACTUAL useful advice unlike another weirdo who seems to get excited when someone new struggles

[unreal jolt]

the yellownames might be a bit unhelpful sometimes but you also don't have to ragebait

can we have one normal conversation on the internet pls

[stoic beacon]

i wasnt ragebaiting? i was being genuine the whole time

he just finds it weird that i dont wanna read minimal lore

[tough mulch]

I have bad news, this does count as stereotypical 'normal' internet conversation based on recent trends

[gray sand]

No...
It's weird that you do want to read it, just want to read it only in Discord and not in the actual game.

[stoic beacon]

when did i say i wanna read it..?

[gray sand]

Right here. 🙂

[stoic beacon]

yeah? im asking what am i supposed to grind for so i can progress in the game, not lore that doesnt matter to me

im genuinely wondering whos ragebaiting now

[gray sand]

The goal of the game is the lore that you are progressing through.
Whether you accept that or not 🤷‍♂️

You were sent here to kill the Forsaken to stop them from breaking the World Tree. That is the goal, that is the progression.
This was all in the opening OH LOOK TIKTOK that you ignored.

[stoic beacon]

is this idiocy? im asking what im supposed to DO to reach said goal, not "oh yes this lore this that"

whining ab tiktok when you're using discord is a weird mentality

[gray sand]

No, TikTok is idiocy.
And weren't you blocking me? 🤔

[stoic beacon]

you are blocked, however its funny how mentally deficient this convo is so im entertaining it

[gray sand]

Ergo, ragebait 🙂

[west mica]

TikTok is like any video platform, theres good and braindead stuff on there

[silk token]

my advice would be delete the world and try again. this game has a little bit of reading and discovery in it. if you can’t make it through the intro and talk to the thing with the big yellow exclamation over its head that does not bode well for your entire time playing this game

[west mica]

For any millenials who are pointing fingers gen Z for 'brainrot' all I have to say to you is:

Badger badger badger
Mushroom mushroom

[stoic beacon]

yeah, ive noticed that youre ragebaiting

[gray sand]

As one, I can thankfully say I have no idea what you are talking about.

[west mica]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIyixC9NsLI Youre lying

[stoic beacon]

ive finished terraria multiple times alongside calamity which is easily above 300 hours, me not reading the lore shouldnt mean "oh you lack focus just quit the game"

[gray sand]

I am not. Also danger link is dangerous.

[stoic beacon]

however since most of you insist on it ill go reset the world and read a nonsense 5 minute video on lore that i will never care for in the future

[silk token]

literally the intro tells you the point of the game, and the bird will constantly tell you every question you’re going to come to discord to ask

[gray sand]

I do remember actively cutting people out of my life when they found "pineapple pen" to be "omg the funniest shit I have ever seen." So...

[unreal jolt]

tiktok itself isn't inherently bad (outside of some EULA stuff), it's crutching on it for attention reasons that is problematic

i know several people who talk about trying to "quit" tiktok like it's nicotine @.@

[stoic beacon]

i do not care about lore or what im going to fight/go towards, and i have talked to the bird my main question was if i was missing any extra info which the bird doesnt mention like a certain item im mean to collect, or an item im meant to craft beforehand to make my life easier etc etc

[tough mulch]

Ive heard people have attention spans shorter than goldfish these days and teachers need to have a video playing in class ro get attention

[silk token]

scrolling tiktok and refusing to talk to the bird to come to discord and and what you should have read on your own is just some super high level of idk what

[stoic beacon]

i said the bird was scary not that i havent talked to it lmao

[tough mulch]

Not the bird that carried you btw

[gray sand]

There have been studies that show if you cannot just simply sit with your own thoughts for 5 minutes without needing to look at your phone it points to deficiencies in brain function 😬

[stoic beacon]

the black one which greets me when i spawn on the stones?

[paper marsh]

Listen to bird in general, but big first things I would say is:

1. Get wood, make hammer, make workbench

2. Search for different materials. Rocks, flint, sometimes you find worn down houses that may have good stuff

3. General theme of the game is getting strong with the gear of a biome, defeating the boss, then moving on and doing the same with the next biome

[tough mulch]

Yeah that one

[stoic beacon]

idk what you mean by not the bird that carried me then

[gray sand]

Valk carries you.

[stoic beacon]

alright thank you

[tough mulch]

The smaller bird is a different bird

[silk token]

he was still in tiktok during that part probly

[unreal jolt]

it is kinda funny to me that in most depictions, valkyries are more human than bird

meanwhile in this game, the only part that is human is the chin

[stoic beacon]

i was on tiktok for like 2 mins max then focused on the game

[tough mulch]

Crafting needs a bit of adjusting in this game btw, compared to other sandbox the system is just a lil bit more complicated

Also ALWAYS get the rested buff

You get it by putting down a campfire and pressing X to set near it, and waiting a bit, like 30 seconds or something

[paper marsh]

20 seconds yeah

[stoic beacon]

i just thought i was meant to crouch near it to get any buffs

[tough mulch]

Ig argue skipping the stone axe to build a campfire first

But thats just my personal take

[unreal jolt]

stone axe is good for beating the hog

[stoic beacon]

i built the axe to get wood faster cus finding sticks took time

[tough mulch]

You can smack the small shrubs as well

Stone is going to be more annoying early, but you dont need that much

[sleek sky]

I do when i need to landscape my entire house platform before eikthyr

[paper marsh]

I don't make a base that takes more than 5 minutes until I've started slowly progressing swamp

[tough mulch]

You build your house besides eiktyr?

[gray sand]

I skip it to get Flint first, personally.

[paper marsh]

I think he's just making the house BEFORE KILLING eikthyr

[barren whale]

yall use axes 🤣

[paper marsh]

Axes are goated

[tough mulch]

Nah i use eiktyr, he can cut down finewood for me too

[sleek sky]

Judt the platform actually. I build my bigger house once i start BF

[tough mulch]

Early axe lvls are easy to grind anyways

[sleek sky]

i play this game to build giant platforms

[tough mulch]

Understandable, too bad we have height limits

[tacit crystal]

Next time I start new run then gotta try get early axes early.

[gray sand]

No axes until early axes 😏

[clever creek]

i just updated game and it crashes on start up

[tough mulch]

Im definitely getting early axes no matter what

[gray sand]

Modded?

[clever creek]

vanilla

[tough mulch]

Tried vulkan launch yet?

[gray sand]

100% sure never modded ever?

[tough mulch]

Or vice versa

[clever creek]

I have never played the game modded ever

i just tried a 4th time and it worked

[sleek sky]

Theres a mod i play with that lets me build 200 m high mounds with the hoe

[clever creek]

so i guess im good

[sleek sky]

Its great

[gray sand]

🎊

[tough mulch]

Hopefully not obsolete with the new update

[gray sand]

Mods and Dedicated Servers are like.. 99.99% of all crashes after an update.

[sleek sky]

😩

Good point

[tough mulch]

I get mods, but dedicated servers too?

[stoic beacon]

so i made the wrong choice making a small home?

it said to cover the working bench

[tough mulch]

Its good, most of us are a old players so we prefer skipping some things

[paper marsh]

Just play at your own rate

But what I’m saying is I ONLY make very small bases until later on in the game

[old drift]

hey go hawks buddy ❤️

[paper marsh]

Better hope your next run is before 1.0

I imagine early axes will be removed upon release

[gray sand]

Doubt. It's a good addition. Like Rocky.

[tough mulch]

Dont jinx it

[stoic beacon]

i like making sure everything i do is efficient

[stoic beacon]

go hakwss

[tough mulch]

Efficiency, I like that, but the way I move is mostly exploits and cheeses

[stoic beacon]

i enjoy exploits to a limit

[tough mulch]

Comrade!

[stoic beacon]

nearly everygame i play has some form of cheat to ensure easier gameplay

[balmy plank]

You can find some prebuilt abandoned buildings in the Meadows that are perfectly fine for covering a workbench. They sometimes even come with boxes.

[tacit crystal]

Iirc no items have been removed so far, except placeholder items.

[stoic beacon]

terraria - imma steal from other worlds but only the stuff i cant find/same stage of game
minecraft - im gonna keep using backups everytime i die cus i cant be asked to go find my loot again

[tough mulch]

Oh, wait, u and me are different, you enjoy exploits to a limit, while I take exploits to the limits

[stoic beacon]

i like feeling accomplished afterwards

[balmy plank]

Minecraft has a 'keep inventory' settng.

[stoic beacon]

i exploit to the limit after ive completed everything the game offers

[stoic beacon]

see in my eyes thats TOO cheaty

[green reef]

while you can steal from other worlds/playthroughs, its fairly pointless in Valheim, nothing in valheim is really rare, maybe some trophy drops?

[tough mulch]

I guess feeling accomplishments is subjective, for me it feels the same whether I cheese or not

[stoic beacon]

ive never played a valheim styled survival other than ark for like 1-2hrs and then stopped cus i didnt know what to do

[tough mulch]

Golem throphy

[stoic beacon]

theres also palworld but it doesnt run smoothly on my laptop

(integrated graphics so basically unplayable)

[woven venture]

i think these new axe parts are not going to be easy to find

[paper marsh]

Twas a joke

[green reef]

relatively easy I guess. took me 20 meadow chests to find the parts?

[stoic beacon]

how many hours on average does it take to complete one full gameplay of valheim

[light moat]

Ha! Joel airplane moment ✈️

[tough mulch]

Oh, ehehe

[woven venture]

i hit more than that and only found 1.

[tough mulch]

Maybe for the first timer about 100hrs?

Thats faster side of things

[bright kiln]

I hope its harder than rocky

[tacit crystal]

Ah.

https://media.tenor.com/sK2mHU6kq9IAAAAM/thats-the-joke-ranier-wolfcastle.gif

[stoic beacon]

sweet i can find a way to procrastinate my uni assignments more

[paper marsh]

It varies so much. Maybe like 60-100 hours?

[gray sand]

Their first deep, meaningful death is going to be interesting.

[bright kiln]

Thats 120-200 in game days right?

[silk token]

just tell your prof you were scrolling tiktok instead of reading the book and can he tell you what its about

[tacit crystal]

Thought process going on snail's pace.

[woven venture]

if i speed run its like 15 hours. if im playing through normal probably 30-40. i started a new world where im timegating bosses for myself to slow down the playthrough lol

[stoic beacon]

i read books so that doesnt work

[gray sand]

Depends on sleep, but yeah.

[tough mulch]

I bet my gold on the blue guys

[paper marsh]

Maybe more now that we have a new biome I wasn’t considering

[gray sand]

Oh I'm moreso saying the first time they are carrying good stuff and die then need to do body retrieval, given how they Minecraft.

[bright kiln]

Sounds about right. I cant measure hours per run but it usualy doesnt take me more than 300 days with 3 people

Mistlands usualy takes the longest for me

[stoic beacon]

you realise thats just currently cus i dont wanna bother with the time and effort, i have retrieved stuff from my body before. youre genuinely obsessed with passively insulting people.

[tough mulch]

No portal and 2k distance from spawn is brutal, especially if you took everything with you

[gray sand]

Mistlands is when I slow down but it has nothing to do with the biome.
I speedrun to get to that black marble and then slow waayyyy down to just build.

[gray sand]

Odd that you took that as insulting. And I also don't think you understand the point of blocking people 🤷‍♂️

[bright kiln]

Yeah I slow down cuz I wanna level my magic a lot, and the black marble too

[silk token]

imo the consequence of dying is like 75% why i play the game

[gray sand]

Magic is too OP 😭 so I mostly refuse to use it.
Only exception is when I am doing vegetarian runs.

[tough mulch]

Im more for speeding my ass out of the mistlands, me and gjalls are incompatible

[gray sand]

Unless I'm trying to mine a skull out, I largely just ignore gjalls and run past them to get where I want to be.

It is amazing how much combat you can just.. not do.

[balmy plank]

Mistlands is my favorite.

[tough mulch]

The gjalls wants to be where you want to be as well!

[gray sand]

😂

[bright kiln]

Dude! The magic is the ONLY thing that keeps my party alive in the ashlands. Most of my buddy's dont like to sacrifice theyre health or stamina, so I go full magic build and all I do is throw down shields the whole time xD

[gray sand]

I do enjoy the mists, but mountain bases call to me.

[tough mulch]

Bruh same thats how my first ashland experience went

[balmy plank]

Ah, a mountain surrounded by Mistlands is peak for me.

[bright kiln]

But I play with 5+ players a lot of the time, so the enemies do so much more damage and have a lot more health

[gray sand]

I can just staff of fireball everything with full EEE food and never even build bubble staff.
It's... too easy.

[lone sapphire]

maybe I'm just blind but where is the "celebratory cap"?

[grave parcel]

is deep north gonna be last biome?

[balmy plank]

Workbench.

[gray sand]

Yes.

[balmy plank]

Make sure you pick something up first.

[tough mulch]

Everything does feel softer now that I play alone

[bright kiln]

Not when you get the 40%x4 health and damage on the enemies cuz your playing with friends

[gray sand]

So.. VH on solo?
I swap to SEE and just roll a couple more times.

Fireball until Wilds.

Magic is legit ez mode 😭

[tough mulch]

I dunno, I found the dual axe easier for me

[bright kiln]

Nah I love my friends, and I love the chaos of the ashlands and I love playing support mode

[gray sand]

I don't think they will ever give us true support. Because healing staff would be even more broken than the damage ones.

[tough mulch]

True, just look at the dvgers

[tacit crystal]

We are having fun dynamic in Ashlands with my group of 3 (me included): one is full mage, one uses heavy armor and I'm using light armor.

[gray sand]

Starred GD shamans showing up to heal Elder 😭

[tough mulch]

Homie got his back like a true brother

[bright kiln]

Fore sure!!! But it would be nice to see a staff that gives monor potion effects. Small but noticeable

[gray sand]

Mods will probably be the realm of support magic.

[bright kiln]

Yeah I believe this 100% the only issue is that too often mods make the weapons and whatnot too powerful, and not adjustable :(

[tough mulch]

Healing staff would also make healing mead obsolete so I doubt they will ever add one

[gray sand]

I would have stopped at the problem being that mods exist at all 😁
But that's just me personally.

[tough mulch]

If you think about, trinkets are support items

[gray sand]

Bronze Trinket stronk.

Boss fights with extra stamina is just so good.

[tough mulch]

Mead of adrenalin when

[bright kiln]

Maybe a staff that adds a partial rested buff. Like half the normal bonus, only if you dont have rested.

[tough mulch]

Thats not a staff, thats a campfire on a stick lmao

[gray sand]

I still want them to redo the red weapons to be increased adrenaline.

[bright kiln]

I once used the fireball staff to dry off my friend after he slipped into the water

We didnt have rested and it was faster than a camp fire

[tough mulch]

Im writing that down for future... Uses

[gray sand]

Fireball staff is also great for woodcutting.

[bright kiln]

Both have to have pvp on tho :(

[tough mulch]

No fireball staff, surely staff of feacturing works as well right,

[bright kiln]

Realy????

[balmy plank]

Tamed loxes, too.

[gray sand]

Turn on fire hazards, and yes.

[bright kiln]

aaahhhh

[gray sand]

Lox*, but yes.

[bright kiln]

Loxxes*

[balmy plank]

Loxen? I dunno.

[gray sand]

Dev who made them confirmed multiple times the plural is just lox.

[tough mulch]

Why go through all that when you can ask the local big guy to cut trees for you

[bright kiln]

I know. But I also, if you know what they meant. Do you have to correct them

[trail pelican]

loxi

[gray sand]

Yes? Because maybe they do not know?

[bright kiln]

Is it that big of a deal if they dont know? It's a matter of 2 letters.

[toxic oxide]

Anybody on Xbox get the update yet?

[gray sand]

You're applying how you see things in the world to try and understand how I do.
That's not going to work, because I don't see things in degrees of severity. Things either are a deal, or they are not. I do not have big and little deals.
🤷‍♂️

We should just move on though.

[bright kiln]

Well the way I see it, if they didnt ask they probably dont care. So neither should I. But this is getting off track from valheim so I bid you good day

[gray sand]

💛

[icy apex]

Did the hotkey T have a use before the patch?

[tough mulch]

I don't recall T having any purpose

[icy apex]

Ok thx

How the get the materials for the new axes?

[glossy burrow]

being odins favorite

[icy apex]

Okay :D

[green reef]

I used to to change build menu

[karmic oar]

anyone know if using a 1h weapon with block armour + a shield, adds both the parry bonus from the weapon and the shield together? so if i was wearing a spear + bronze buckler would i have 1.5x Parry bonus from the spear + the 2.5x parry bonus from the bucker? 4x parry bonus?

[foggy glacier]

No. when you're using the shield, the stats from the shield override anything from your weapon as far as parrying is concerned.

[karmic oar]

got it, thank you

[sinful fulcrum]

Nice pfp

[sleek sky]

i read the patch notes and it seems to be mostly bugfixes and performance fixes? do we know what the sweetbread, early axes, and celebratory cap are yet?

[paper marsh]

early axes are dual wield axes you get materials for / can make in like meadows/bf

Sweetbread new food

Celebratory cap I imagine is just a 1 armor helmet almost made early game

[sleek sky]

DUEL AXES IN MEADOWS???????? HOLY PEAK

[paper marsh]

Very peak

[sleek sky]

best weapon style is not just ashlands finally

[paper marsh]

You have to find the specific components to make it. 2 axe heads found in random meadows house chests

[idle storm]

sweetbread: plains-tier balanced food (lower stat total than lox meat pie and normal bread though)
early axes: meadows berserkirs
celebratory cap: basically one of Hildir's farming caps with a new skin

[paper marsh]

Diff devs same publisher

[sleek sky]

who cares, i need to hop tf on RIGHT NOW

[silk token]

just logged in, so cool celebratory cap has stam reduction. there was a tweak to berserker armor but i cant tell a difference, what changed?

[paper marsh]

That said I've never played a Coffee Stain Studios (publisher) game I didn't enjoy. Valhiem, Satisfactory, Deep Rock, Midnight Ghost Hunt

[sleek sky]

does this mean maybe in the future we will get a weapon type for every biome? 🙏

errr every weapon type in every biome i mean

[paper marsh]

Ehh doubtful I think? Devs have said it's intentional that there are gaps

[tacit crystal]

The sweetbread requires also ||eggs||. And cap can be upgraded.

[silk token]

highly doubt. some weapons would be broken with for example ashlands gems, i think they designeed things very intentionally

[paper marsh]

Also I don't think they've really been adding weapon types lately, just been adding a bunch of axes to biomes that alreay had one version of an axe

[silk token]

but freal what changed with berserker armor it doesnt look different

[sleek sky]

sorry, what i mean is making every biome have an atgeir for example

or a spear

[paper marsh]

aw they took away carapace buckler parry adrenaline bonus

[paper marsh]

heard a few people asking, zero people answering :(

[sleek sky]

maybe its a texture thing?

[idle storm]

the stats are the same

[paper marsh]

Maybe cosmetic tweak

[idle storm]

I didn't check the upgrade costs but crafting costs are too

[silk token]

i super dont think so, atgier IS every biome but ashlands? and spear.... IS every biome too isnt it? lol

[idle storm]

no plains spear i think? or am i forgetting something

[sleek sky]

no meadows atgeir 🙃

[silk token]

oh ur right no plains spear

[sleek sky]

im bad at examples, i just mean filling the gap in vanilla weapons

in reality, i just want duel axes every biome tbh, ill never use anything else

[tacit crystal]

No silver atgeir either.

[paper marsh]

I think that might be part of the devs reasoning for NOT including them in every biome

[light moat]

Sword is available every biome except meadows, and I think some variation of a club is available in all biomes.

[sleek sky]

probably tbh, well ill take any and all new weapons that we are given and just live with it. if i care i can always add mods to fix it

[silk token]

idk if realistically i'd use double axes every biome or just battleaxe. i feel like 2 hand sword is better single and battle is better aoe. but it is amazing we axers dont have to limp our way through early swamp with a sort of weapon

[sleek sky]

so peak that meadows is getting a duel axe tho

[sleek sky]

duel axes when chopping treees is so 🔥

[light moat]

So now we have 2 dual-axes, but not even 1 dual-swords? Unbelievable. No fun.

[sleek sky]

what we need is duel battleaxes that drain double stamina and weigh 50 pounds and the attack animation is you spinning like a whirlwind

[shy marlin]

game is the worst

uninstalling right now 😠

[idle storm]

Please no dual swords. It's a viking game, not an edgy anime.

[sleek sky]

do the flower garland and fey lights give comfort or they just decoration?

[rotund parrot]

A golden knife is all that I want

[light moat]

Hmm ok, how about dual maces? 👀

[shy marlin]

dual shields 😏

[idle storm]

Just deco. Fey lights also give light. They're pretty dim on their own but can get decently bright if you stack them. And the mats are cheap (1 thistle and 2 finewood) so great no-fuel early game lighting

[sleek sky]

ok cool, ill defo have to check them out

[paper marsh]

Dual knives?

[abstract warren]

What about having the ability to dual wield an axe with a sword

That's pretty viking-like I'd say

[rotund parrot]

Would be nice, maybe call them skoll and hati

[sleek sky]

duelwield mod allows that

duelwield mod goated

[tacit crystal]

Skol & Hati on the line. 📞

[abstract warren]

There's already a weapon called that

Dual knives

[paper marsh]

Sounds like a yes to me 😎

Dual axes would work well too

[abstract warren]

Yeah there are a few mods that add things that should've been in the game from the very start

[barren whale]

i want sledgehammer normals

though current sledge is funny af and I don't mind not having em

[heady parcel]

The me smash should be the secondary, and a normal combo with primary

[abstract warren]

Like having separate slots for armour and worn items. Sorry but I'mma keep ranting about this because it makes 0 sense not to have it

It's a flaw absolutely unique to Valheim

[sleek sky]

extra slots GOATED

[paper spire]

I've been in beta for 5 years, yeah 🤔.

[dark coyote]

still waiting for dual torches

[light moat]

Dual Dyrnwyns

[tough mulch]

dual bow wielding more op

[paper marsh]

Not sure about that one

[dark coyote]

dual shields

[sleek sky]

duel atgeirs?

[tough mulch]

ultimate tank build!

[paper marsh]

Dual shields could be pretty good on a summoner. Just sit there tanking hits, staggered enemies, while your ballistae and skellies and trolls and dvergr and whatnot tear up the enemies

[light moat]

That guy who played Dark Souls 1 with dual shields

[heady parcel]

It's a whole subculture doing that

Btw here's an appreciation post for Valheim vs DS - not needing to press another button to parry is a blessing. Might be that I have 2k+ hours of Valheim and only like 50 in DS, but I keep timing my blocks perfectly in it and then slamming my desk. No ripostes for me...

[light moat]

Isn’t it just one button for DS as well? Honestly don’t remember haha

Oh wait, you’re saying it’s a separate button for parrying? Right?

[heady parcel]

Might be on controllers but I'm a M+KB guy 100%

[light moat]

Ahh gotcha, yeah I’ve always played Souls with controller haha

[heady parcel]

I tried with a controller but couldn't get past the tutorial boss. My brain-hands interface just can't compute those things

[sharp bluff]

souls games are generally considered to be dogshit with mkb

and speaking from experience... yeah
only nioh was worse

[heady parcel]

So I hear, but for me it was night and day. With controller I just died, vs everything, all the time. After I swapped to m+kb I am making progress. It is probably my 2k hours of Valheim that helps me here

[sharp bluff]

your first souls game will almost always do that to you
the games arent exactly noob friendly and punish careles mistakes by sending you to the last bonfire

[heady parcel]

Do note - I am old. I have played games with m+kb since the 90s, only kind of game I can play on controller is sports games, for some reason

[sharp bluff]

in my case it wildly depends, TES games etc i play with mbk
its only monhun and soulslikes where i swap to controler

valheim isnt hard enough for me to swap to controler xd

building is much more chill with mouse controls as well

[vast lily]

Dude the early axes are so good to use. They annihilate black wood creatures at ease. There even capable of cutting wood without needing a bronze axe. Havent tested the swamps but i don't think they can block enemies perfectly, but they do a lot of damage.

Also i think they pair well with Berserker armor.

[paper marsh]

Yeah bear paws or early axes I imagine are both right up bear sets alley

[silk token]

im excited for the next play where i use axes again

tho i'l say claws and 2hand hammer build isnt disappointing yet XD

just did elder with bear armor and claws, i feel like he died fast

something about claws makes me double check im on hard difficulty lol

[paper marsh]

I'm going haevy on bear paws right now and they feel soooooo good

Never could get used to 2 hand hammers. or 1 hand clubs/maces for that matter

[silk token]

never really used hammer either, but this is my "try really hard to not use axes" run and i need aoe

plus im going for that sweet synergy of vile set with porcupine, so i want SOME hammer levels

im kinda just claws and clubs for not a whole lot of reason other than i havent used them a ton yet with new armors

[paper marsh]

But but what about the synergy with vile maulclaws

[silk token]

yeahhhh, well those are gonna be insane. but claws are tough for multiples, and even 1 hand club works great vs gobby gobs

back in the day, that was my weapon of choice when plains was endgame and stamina was very different

[cosmic quiver]

hello guys someone else know the problem with r2modman, i want to start valheim with mods but the mod "armory" and "warfare" not loaded and all my stuff is gone 😮 do you know what to do ? any updates ?

[tacit crystal]

New update probably messed all mods, but you can also ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599

[cosmic quiver]

Yes i think that too, i will wait till tomorrow maybe the mod creators updated the mods then

[tacit crystal]

Today's patch added Unity engine update, so no wonder all mods have become messed.

[cosmic quiver]

okay thank you for your help 🙂 good to know

[sharp bluff]

ye... thats the kind of patch which bricks almost every mod

[paper marsh]

For those not in the public test chat:

"Berserker armor tweak" was giving bear armor a cosmetic change to the female model, specifically adding panties

[low warren]

ahhh thanks

[slim dagger]

How much better did the optimization get, any noticable fps increases or performance increases?

[paper marsh]

Seems like it was a slight increase at least around large builds? Doesn't seem to be anything gamechanging

[slim dagger]

oh thats still good I have some big builds around

[frigid anvil]

I mean, I kinda like it

it makes inventory management a bigger concern

[nocturne wolf]

both player models wear the same armor

[heady parcel]

It is just another way of designing stuff. Ppl have to stop thinking of the available inventory slots as the bag space of a backpack or something. It's just a very simple and smooth representation of all a character can carry. So you devote the leftmost rows, rightmost rows, bottom row or whatever to armor - it's up to you. If you look at it that way Valheim provides more freedom than just about any other game out there.

All that said, if they were to add dedicated slots as in just about every other game in existence, I'd be fine with it - but don't be too surprised if the "backpack" turns out to be 4-6 slots smaller than today...

[paper marsh]

I do always find it interesting seeing different peoples inventories and seeing how they sort things differently from me

[nocturne wolf]

I'm always the only one in my group with armor on the right

[abstract warren]

The armour you wear is obviously not in your backpack is it

[heady parcel]

Aye, it can also trigger my ocd bigtime...

[heady parcel]

Exactly - the inventory is NOT a backpack

[abstract warren]

It's an imaginary backpack

[heady parcel]

No, it's just a bunch of slots where you can organise the stuff you carry

[abstract warren]

Sure

So if you carry your armour and then put it on you're no longer carrying it

It's on you

It's simple logic. Even Minecraft has it.

[hard sluice]

i dont want gear slots in the inventory. those vikings are already stretching the limit of whats believable to carry.

[paper marsh]

Same. On the right vertically

[jovial sleet]

The hell are early axes

[paper marsh]

Meadows dual wield axes

[heady parcel]

Again, I would not mind if they went that way. Especially now with trinkets and a bezillion magic staves, bombs and other consumables, it would be a smooth way to give us a bit more inventory space.

[abstract warren]

Even if they reduced the inventory slots but made separate ones for armour it would still make more sense

[jovial sleet]

It already has flint..

[paper marsh]

Not dual wield flint axes

[tough mulch]

lmao

the name is a bit confusing

[paper marsh]

I like the idea of gear slots because it provides more clarity to the player. I feel like for a new player it can sometimes be confusing if they can wear a helmet AND a dvergr circlet. Or a Megginjord AND a wisplight. Or a fins of destiny AND a bracelets of the brave

[tough mulch]

I like the Idea simply because its cleaner and pretty standard

[hard sluice]

are you asking for the inventory slots to be removed and changed to gear slots?

[tough mulch]

thats fine with me, the weight limit is pretty much the thing that stops us anyways

[steel mica]

Seeing alot of inventory management talk

[paper marsh]

I don't think I'd like that, except if its only slots for like armor and whatever 2 weapons/items held in hands. I feel like I'd be sad if I lost inventory slots to make room for trinkets and accessories and meads and such when I might not even bring those with me on journies

[abstract warren]

This would actually make sense. But then of course we would need backpacks

[hard sluice]

i also think it would be pointless. so basically, you are asking for 4 or 5 more inventory space...

[abstract warren]

And then the backpack adds the inventory feature
