[green reef]

fishing out among them is most reliable, but super frustrating too. fishing needs some love imo.

[abstract warren]

Yes

[timber marsh]

Seems pretty on par with fishing irl... get the fish up to the boat then they thrash and break the line...

[green reef]

meadow should act like a stocked up easy fishing area, any skill less than 10 should give us a pretty easy time realing in the fish.

[abstract warren]

Omg I threw my line and a bunch of trollfish just appeared out of nowhere

[abstract warren]

Yeah I'm fishing for trollfish though

Would make sense why they're so damn sluggish I guess

[keen sinew]

I love how I randomly decided to play this game years ago and look where we are now. 🥳

[candid basalt]

Agreed

May 2021 saw it on steam as co-op and me and the lady decided to try it. She quit after plains but I’m still here

[old trench]

I love this game

It’s great gameplay

What gpu is good

[burnt glen]

Is there a certain kind of building that spawns the ||curious axe head|| ?

[paper marsh]

My two friends were playing and invited me, so I played it on my brothers steam family share with them

After about 30 minutes of playing I got kicked off because my brother started a game. I instantly bought Valheim to continue and now I have almost 1000 hours

[old trench]

Holy

[silk token]

yeah, from what i've seen others say, one head spawns in|| a normal house-looking house, and the other in one of those rectangular towers.||

but most commonly they spawn in ||we're sorry, but the princess is in another castle.||

[idle storm]

curious heads only drop from the wooden towers so you can ignore the others

[fossil drift]

Are bosses supposed to follow you for so long when you run away from them? For example Yagluth once followed us across an entire ocean to our base. Was this an intent of the developers?

[tacit crystal]

This one:

[fossil delta]

We are supposed to beat them, but yeah, they can follow you for a good distance.

[burnt glen]

thanks to all of you for the help

[nocturne wolf]

I did a frost cave for the first time since 2023 and got tetras

[shy marlin]

yea but did you get a golem cave

if not = lame

[fossil delta]

I'm jealous, I have yet to find them.

[nocturne wolf]

I didn’t even need to fish them they were just on the floor near the water

[fossil delta]

Nice.

I hope one of them was a size 5.

[nocturne wolf]

All four were level one

[fossil delta]

Those lakes were my hard block to earning the fishing hat, the one time I tried.

[haughty geode]

how often first boss's spawn is across the ocean?

[paper marsh]

Rare. Even more rare if all 3 spawns are

[viral shell]

Anyone wanna start new?

[silk token]

i think im joining the ranks of people who only got lots of mysterious axe heads. 😢

[fossil delta]

Eikthyr is usually on my starter. Rare for him not to be.

Elder is usually far away. Several island's away.

[burnt glen]

update: found the ||curious axe head|| too, lesgo!

[haughty geode]

well, perhaps incorrect to say that it is across the ocean, but walking by land is mostly dark forest and like 4-5 times longer then distane then by directly by ocean. also both starting altar and Eikthyr's one are pretty much on the coast

[green reef]

you can do cool random seeds on the world generator and take a look at other worlds.

definitely starter islands that have no bosses, and other worlds where 3 or 4 bosses area all running distance. pretty rare to get all 5 early bosses without have to go searching multiple lands away.

[lapis granite]

7 bears and no trophy :aware:

[pine geyser]

Bear trophy feels more like 1/30 chance

[tribal leaf]

Bear trophies are hard to find. I like how defeating one stars deflate them to regular size.

[paper marsh]

If you guys REALLY want a bear trophy, there is a guaranteed bear trophy drop from ||destroying Haldors bear carpet||

[tribal leaf]

I remember seeing a video on that.

[sinful fulcrum]

Golem trophy: ☠️

[tribal leaf]

Stone golems have trophies?

[paper marsh]

I don't think I've ever had a golem trophy

In 1000 hours

Granted I avoid golems, so makes sense. But still

[candid basalt]

I’ve seen two in 1200 hours

And I actively hunt them for crystal

[shy marlin]

Not me who has 3 stone golem trophies in 1 run 😭

[cinder plaza]

I guess with This coming to Switch later this year. That 1.0 will be around the same time? So deep north out later this year... but how much later?

[copper karma]

They're going to test it on us before sending it to the switch.

[tacit crystal]

Not confirmed yet, but you're not the first to suspect it for 2026. But Switch 2 and PS5 are confirmed for this year.

[pliant radish]

I didn't realize stone golem trophies weren't a modded item for a long time and I have 700 hours in this game

[tacit crystal]

#screenshots message @compact nova It is known issue and will be fixed in next hotfix update.

It gets like that because it gets damaged.

[compact nova]

Alright, good to know it's not my pc messing with me or anything.

[lapis granite]

14th bear gave it

[copper karma]

What mistland structures drop iron outside the ancient swords/armor? Not listed on the wiki.

[paper marsh]

The aqueducts/bridges made of black marble and iron grates

[idle storm]

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

[copper karma]

Ah it gives pure iron. Not scrap. I was looking at the scrap iron page

[analog mirage]

before i go all the way up, how many mysterious before a curious? :3

cause i had 6 mysterious and only one curious

[burnt glen]

Fortunately only 2 and within like 10 days of starting the world.,

[fossil delta]

Yeah, real easy to get if you set up a stone cutter and forge. It takes seconds if the bridge isn't close to rocks, etc...

IIRC you still get copper scraps, not bars, as well.

[merry pebble]

Do the aquaducts have the copper decorations which would drop those? 🤔 I can't remember.

[rotund parrot]

They do

[burnt glen]

Holy moly first bear and a trophy

I'm so good at this game

[shy marlin]

gz

bear hat or bronze pendant 🤔

[burnt glen]

Pendant is the better option but the hat is cooler

[pale acorn]

yall developers are goated for making this game omg

[rotund parrot]

Rug!

[shy marlin]

it still makes me sad that all rugs share the exact same comfort status

like lox tier or higher imo should give +2 comfort or something to make those rugs have some value

[steel mica]

Pendant honestly

[burnt glen]

I'm hanging the trophy on top of my door.

[pliant hatch]

Actually it's warmer.

But it's looking more cool fur sure...

[fossil delta]

For a short while they all added 1 point.

[shy marlin]

yea, all of the rugs stacked

which they removed sometime in the mistlands timeline

because they didn't like us having 30 min of rested 🙁

[fossil delta]

Think it was earlier. Than that.

[dark coyote]

what a rug pull 😐

[shy marlin]

nah it wasn't

[tacit crystal]

It might have been some time after Mistlands.

[shy marlin]

yea somewhere around the mistlands timeline

[fossil delta]

Thought they changed it when they added tar and all those build items.

[steel mica]

To be fair players do a lot of exploration and you only need 24m of rested buff for the entire day, going out at night is practically useless unless you have a reason

[light moat]

Could be interesting if any combo of 2 rugs could net up to +2 comfort

[steel mica]

Although 30m of rested buff is nice..

[dark coyote]

I think stone floor should be -1 comfort

[fossil delta]

I'm happy when I hit 22 minutes.

[steel mica]

Blackmarble -2

[light moat]

Straw pile should be +1 comfort for animals 😔

[tacit crystal]

20th December 2022 patch.

[dark coyote]

for the mother in law apartment

[tribal leaf]

That was to close lmao. I got root armor so i was gonna early collect needles from the plains. Usually i can handle them and roll dodge 1 fuling until its dead. I run into a fuling and 1 star fuling i immediately shat activated Ekithyr ability and ran.

[abstract warren]

Classic

[fossil delta]

You can beat them in bronze gear. Not something I'd recommend until your confident about it. Its not exactly easy.

[split adder]

how much extra defense am i gonna get on ashlands armor compared to a level 2 carapace set

[simple lichen]

Not nearly enough

• to matter, Ashlands enemies are punishing even with 3 hp food, 120 armor, and high skills. A 2* warrior will most likely hit you for like 150+ damage through blocking. It’s dumb

[gray sand]

Ashlands is mainly about passive upgrades.

Put on the Asksvin set and the Ash cape and your stamina costs get cut drastically, without sacrificing any noticeable armor amount.

[split adder]

do charred enemies attack morgens

[gray sand]

No, but Morgen AoE has friendly fire enabled.

[split adder]

it looked like they were fighting

why is there a giant green light coming from the ground

[lone rampart]

You should take a closer look and find out!

[split adder]

is it gonna kill me

is that a castle

of course im getting shot at

charred fortress

how do i get in

new plan actually

what do i need for a long rested buff

[fossil delta]

Ashlands was way easier on me my third time through. I only died 3 times, and 2 of those were to the boss. Understanding all the mobs goes a long way.

[chrome badge]

A house/base with all the comfort maximizing furniture. Though you can always just place a campfire and sit next to it for your rested buff.

[silk token]

idk maybe you’ll unlock a new interesting crafting recipe if you explore a little more and get some flametal

[oak zodiac]

yo

anyone wanna play valheim, im gonna start a new world

[merry pebble]

Then we would need slippers that would negate all negative comfort from flooring 😁

[tight yacht]

is there a good way to farm bears?

do they respawn in the same locations?

[copper karma]

Yes

[silk token]

yeah same spots, just give them a few days to respawn

[tight yacht]

how often do they respawn from spot to spot?

does each spot have its own separate respawn timer (i.e. i can do a loop and get multiple bears) or do they all share the same timer if they are near eachother

[silk token]

ive heard they share spawn with trolls, like so many large things can be in an area only, but ive definitely had bear respawn spots where a bear spawns every single time every few days

[tight yacht]

so they will be super annoying to farm for the trophy

[burnt glen]

#screenshots message @quiet pulsar You know you put that boss out of its misery when you defeat it, so if I was him and the player was messing around in the mountains getting next tier weapons, I'd start to get a little impatient too.

[silk token]

all i did was sit and listen for them to aggro to the skeleton taht respawns at the dungeon and time to get try to get a trophy again

[quiet pulsar]

I'm on a multiplayer server, Bonemass is scheduled for tomorrow night

[burnt glen]

poor big guy

[grand juniper]

Built up the abanonded castle, made it cozy, then it became a bunker to fight that damn frost dragon. Now it's destroyed, theres nothing left but a wall, I'm goimng to call it the seething wall and every time I see it I cuss outloud 💢

[green reef]

Jump

[paper marsh]

Nah, they have pretty high spawn rates

More than trolls for sure

[sour phoenix]

Is anybody really good at putting up basic bases?

[copper karma]

no.

[tough mulch]

Box + roof is as basic as it can be

[tight yacht]

Which of the two early trinkets are better

Stam or health

[silk token]

pretty sure the health one works out to like 1 or 2 extra health per healing tick, i think anyone would say any amount of stam regen is better

[frozen fable]

the Early Axes make a total joke of the Elder

[copper karma]

Stamina is SO important, that that trinket is best-in-slot unless you're a late-game eitr user.

second best trinket is no trinket at all, to save you the inventory slot. Every other trinket else costs so much adrenaline that you very rarely proc them. It's a testament to how much they undertuned trinkets and how much the inventory system needs a rework.

[tough mulch]

The adremaline cost is insane for most other trinkets, I triggered the eitr regen trinket like 3 times in a fight against the last boss, and thats me spamming it non stop

This doesnt include pausing, running or dodging, just pure attack spam

[tight yacht]

so i need to farm these damn bears then

no way around it

[copper karma]

Or just don't stress it. Trinkets aren't good.

[tough mulch]

They are a bit meaty ngl

On a side note, bear meat based dishes when

[copper karma]

Bear meat is Wolf food

[tough mulch]

I didn't know askvins ate bear meat

[copper karma]

Oh you're right. I don't even rightly know if Wolves will eat it

[tough mulch]

Im sure they will add a bear meat dish sometime later, kinda sucks leaving it as is afterall

[tight yacht]

are the bear spawns static?

[chrome badge]

No, but there is a decent chance a bear will spawn where it did before. If the parameters for spawning were met already, it's safe to say it can happen again.

[rain flare]

Think of it this way - most big mobs will always spawn in similar areas where you last saw them

I have like 3-4 locations near one of my starter bases where I’m practically guaranteed to find a bear if I leave the area alone for a little while

[tight yacht]

FINALLY got it

73 pieces of bear meat later

[shy marlin]

sounds like 73 pieces of coal to me

[tight yacht]

yeah is bear meat just garbage or what

[tough mulch]

I consider it mid tier Health Food

[copper karma]

"Mid" punching above its weight class. It's tied for the worst of Black Forest health food

[tough mulch]

... Thats because it is a DF food

[tight yacht]

which, considering it is from the black forest, seems about right

[tough mulch]

Well its good for just having random food when you need it

Still needs its own recipe though

[tardy ore]

How do i get chickens, i just killed yagluth ?

[hard sluice]

you have to|| buy them at the black forest trader||

[sleek sky]

someone correct me if im wrong, but the sailors bounty seems... bad? it gives less bonus than cooked serpent meat (90 vs 93) and way less than serpent stew while also requiring raw fish

[tough mulch]

It last for an hour for one

All feast are just like that, they dont particularly excel in specific stats but are more universally spread

[sleek sky]

well the black forest feast seems pretty good when you get it as its almost as good as the sausages and its not too expensive, the sailors bounty is simply worse than its ingredients which i guess is my point

[tough mulch]

For a more balanced meal i prefer Feast - HP food - Stam food

[sleek sky]

ah wait you can craft sailors bounty after getting the prep table yeah?

[tough mulch]

Other people dont like to go out serpent hunting, fish is more easy to procure

Oh wait, nvm I remember sailors also use serpant meat

[sleek sky]

yes it takes 2 serpent meat

[tough mulch]

You cam eat it 5 times

That might be a benefit

[sleek sky]

alright good point, nvm how did i forget feasts can be eaten 10 times 😭

[tough mulch]

Oh it was 10

Havent seen a feast in ages since the chef quit

[tacit crystal]

Bear spawn more usually than troll (bear has rare and troll very rare spawn rate) and they can both spawn in same area.

[thorn citrus]

What are you eating then ?

[tough mulch]

Onion soup for days

Jerky is a fine low quality food source as well. New playthrough im not that far

[thorn citrus]

Oh okay

I've been cooking for the whole team and only level 18 ;-;

[tough mulch]

Cooking lvl is horrendous to lvl up unless your using an exploit

But honestly, it doesnt matter that much

On a side note our chef left at cooking lvl20 I think, thats non stop feeding 4 people, 5 if the chef is included

400 in game days of playthrough at that

[thorn citrus]

I mean I died a lot soo

[thorn citrus]

I'm day 500-ish

What do you mean 400 days and you're "not that far"

[tough mulch]

Are chefs these fragile, I swear my chef fell down the stairs and died

[thorn citrus]

Yes

[tough mulch]

Thats the old playthrough, im on my third

[thorn citrus]

I play light armor+main stam for dps

[thorn citrus]

Oh okay

[tough mulch]

Ah our chef hated fighting and dealing with enemies so no armor no nothing

Mostly dealt with cooking and managing the storage room

[tough mulch]

Not HP HP Stam?

So just all stamina food?

[rain flare]

It’s not a bad system if you time all your dodges right

Buuuut it’s also quite likely to get you killed 😂

More stamina = more attacking and dodging

[tough mulch]

I see, yeah Ill get bonked to death if I used that

[thorn citrus]

One health two stam

And light armor

I have a friend who plays heavy armor and two hp + a feast

[tough mulch]

So one tanks the other is dps

Thats nice

[brisk remnant]

anyone got a bear trophy been grinding cant get one to drop

[thorn citrus]

Yeah if I stand right behind him and he blocks everything with a tower shield I can dps with my atgeir

Safest method as long as he doesn't get staggered, we've killed packs of like 5 or 6 seekers like this

And with the atgeir's secondary I can stun

[tough mulch]

Now you just need a third guy with blood staff and flame and you have the perfect party for clearing hordes

[thorn citrus]

I'm gonna switch to magic

And keep an atgeir for support

Our third guy plays dps also but a bit more tanky, he plays axes

Battlaxes

[tough mulch]

Fellow BA user

Hmmm aight i decided, im gonna make a niche class for my new run

[thorn citrus]

Yeah and our 4th plays sword and shield

[tough mulch]

Ill call it... The alchemist, mostly bombs and summon vials

[tough mulch]

Dont tell me you have a 5th thats a bow user?

Bow x Dagger and you get yourself a ranger

[steel mica]

I've been liking the jade enhancements on the flametal weapons

the immobilizing is very nice

[wind vortex]

True, i use a jade splitnir for 1 on 1 combat and a lightning nidhogg for big groups

[tacit crystal]

Primal axes and Klossen ftw.

[lapis granite]

been through so many houses and ive found only 2 curious ones so far. no mysterious. rng not with me 😭

[silk token]

hm. so its just RNGesus blessing me with repeat bear spawns in the same spot. literally any spot a large mob spawns it could be either? except by caves i guess

[tacit crystal]

They have no fixed spawn points, except trolls near troll caves.

[silk token]

REALLY. then my rng is crazy from my experiences. like ive literally set up multiple permanent and permanent-ish bases next to a bear because he respawns in that spot over and over and i just hear him from my base

i swear ive been like “lets go check the bear spawn” and hes in the same spot

[tacit crystal]

I have had many times bears spawning in same area too, but it's still random spawns.

[lapis granite]

welp... found my 3rd curious axe head lmao

[silk token]

lol what?? so THATS where everyones axe heads went, we have all your mysterious ones.

[lapis granite]

I been seeing everyone else getting the mysterious ones lmfao.

sent SS in #screenshots of the locations, very odd

[steel mica]

I like the slayer with jade enhancement

[split adder]

i think a charred warrior and an askvin just did a collarboration to jumpscare me

[steel mica]

While yes the lolite on slayer is the best for both high dmg and crowd control potential, the jades ability to immobilize dangerous targets like morgen or starred ashlands enemies gives you a ton of breathing room which in the ahslands is not that plentiful

Bloodstone needs a rework/change because the damage increase is not enough to justify lowering your hp just to be able to 2 tap instead of 3 tap an enemy

My idea for a change is I believe many already said this but make it so that it heals you after every hit/kill, another idea while still staying similar to the original is an increase in dmg after killing an enemy but only on the first swing

[split adder]

should i finally build an actual house instead of a scramble of stuff in the vicinity of each other

[abstract warren]

Nah cavemen ftw

[marble tangle]

any opinions on the new axe?
i found it kinda OP
cuts finewood
deals massive damage
which are some of the most important stuff early on, the drawback of finding 2 parts can be tough tho, but considering it lasts easily trough the entirety of black forest....

[marble tangle]

had the same experience!

[thorn citrus]

I meaaan I play the bow

but I'm gonna play magic

as soon as I can

[split adder]

how does anyone accomplish anything in the ashlands with so many enemies

[tacit crystal]

Choose your battles: you don't have to fight everything there.

And also let bigger mobs help clearing the smaller ones.

[paper marsh]

Destroying Haldor's bear carpet gets you a trophy

[split adder]

why are there 2 fallen valkyries

[silk token]

you’re having a standard ashlands experience lol

[steady eagle]

Any fairly new dedicated servers I can join?

[silk token]

ive had a morgen spawn as another morgen is spawning 10 feet away like wellp…

[split adder]

at least feathers are easy to collect

[silk token]

i wish i knew how it was, which tells me if it is slightly op it should be because it’s rare and awesome and should be exciting to get. idk how much id use them because the parry is so low bear paws are way stronger, but definitely an upgrade from flint tools til you get paws or bronze

[paper marsh]

Most likely explanation would be that you are in the Ashlands, and they can spawn in the Ashlands

[split adder]

is there any way to clear up lava permanently

does the ashlands ever get easier

or will i suffer equally for the entire thing

[gray sand]

Idk how much easier they could make it given how easy it is currently?

[split adder]

this is called a certified tryhard

[tacit crystal]

Subjective.

[paper marsh]

Some of the ashlands gear is very strong (I'd say it's mostly the magic stuff tho)

[shy marlin]

staff of wilds

[gray sand]

Fireball until Wilds == 😴 mode.

[paper marsh]

Mage is quite unengaging

[barren whale]

mages work from home

[lone rampart]

Mages are easy until the morgen rolls through and then you get to see how fast we run

[split adder]

will i immediately take damage when i touch lava or do i have a moment

[gray sand]

Would you attempt to walk on lava IRL?

[split adder]

depends

would it instantly hurt me or would i not get obliterated in a second

[gray sand]

I can tell your survival skills will take you very short in life. 😬

[split adder]

i touched it briefly earlier and it didnt do damage

[tacit crystal]

It damages more the deeper in lava you are.

[split adder]

it appears that theres a brief moment of no damage at least in shallow parts

[lone rampart]

nobrr, please promise me you won't go visit any active volcanos in real life. Or geysers.

[split adder]

i wont

[lone rampart]

"Hey how long do you think I can stand in thi-blhahagshaghaaaa!! 🔥"

[split adder]

i just need to reach a flametal vein

[sand linden]

is it exp per hit or exp per attack with the staff of embers, is there any value in hitting multiple enemies or does it give the same exp?

[slender saddle]

You can practice on TWIG and get the exp

Pretty sure you can hit multiple of them and get more exp.

[surreal kestrel]

Estimated time for deep north?

[sand linden]

the wiki makes it seem like its per hit and not per attack

[merry pebble]

Nobody knows

[sand linden]

going to test on local with devcommands and let y'all know what i find i guess

[merry pebble]

Should be per swing, only time you get more xp when hitting multiple targets is when you are chopping wood and you hit enemy at the same time as far as i remember.

[flat stag]

Which metals should I bring with me to Mistlands on the ship?

[merry pebble]

Blackmetal if there arent plains nearby 🙂

[flat stag]

Thanks. Do I need black metal bars or ores to make the sap extractors?

[merry pebble]

The smelted bars, yep 🙂

1 stack wil be enough for 6 of them

[flat stag]

then I also need to set up mini base up there to smelt and craft new extractors, it seems

[merry pebble]

You dont need to craft anything, if you bring already smelted bars then you just need workbench to place them with a hammer 🙂

[slender saddle]

I was thinking more for fireball with elemental magic

[flat stag]

Also, someone on Reddit suggested to bring 2 iron bars for a stonecutter, so I can dismantle stone buildings.

[merry pebble]

Should still be per use of the staff i believe, but not 100% sure on that

[merry pebble]

Yep, tho there is a source of those in mistlands 🙂
Cant hurt to bring them ofc

[sand linden]

its per attack not per hit

[flat stag]

I haven't played for 2 years. To get the dverg extractors it's the same method as before? Slam a cart into a protected chest or something like that?

[sand linden]

so hitting multiple targets will yield the same amount of exp as hitting one, just had to test it out myself :p but you were right asatru

[merry pebble]

I also like to test stuff myself when i can 😄 gives me peace of mind

[flat stag]

how do artisan tables work? If I kill Moder, get tears, port back to my main base, build an artisan table. Will I be able to build a blast furnace anywhere, even far away from my base (where my artisan table is)?

[merry pebble]

Just like any other workbench

[foggy glacier]

No. Anything dependent on the artisan table must be built within its radius. Fortunately, you get enough tears to make five

[merry pebble]

It has a radius you build inside of

[split adder]

is it bad that i only have 2 workbench upgrades in the ashlands

[flat stag]

That was some useful info, thanks.

So, please correct me if you have any corrections or other suggestions. For my trip to Moder (a place that has some Plains and lots of Mistlands nearby) I will bring:

• all black metal scraps
• 12 iron bars (2 for stone cutter, 10 for blast furnace)
• 3 dragon eggs
• 20 wood for chest and workbench
• mats for a portal

[merry pebble]

If you are only going to kill Moder now then you dont need anything other than weapons, armor, best food you have, the eggs and a portal

All the other stuff is for when you are in istlands with progression, not mountains as you are right now

[flat stag]

Plan: sail to Moder. Set up mini base in Plains (near her). Store all the materials there. Kill Moder, take tears, build an artisan table at my mini base at the Plains.

Then continue to kill Yagluth.

And later back to the minibase in Plains, near Moder - so I can continue my Mistlands journey

[flat stag]

it's a but of an overlap - I want to plan this properly so i dont have to sail a long journey again - especially in regards to metals and such

@merry pebble Another reason why i want to do it this way is because right now I can't even smelt black metal, and since there are Plains nearby, there will probably be fulings. And every time I find new scrap of black metal, I want to be able to smelt it right there, so I can build new extractors, locally.

[green reef]

any finewood required? I guess if plains are there probably set.

[flat stag]

please rephrase 😄 finewood can be teleported. And as I said, I will bring mats for 1 portal: surt. cores, eyes, finewood

[fossil delta]

Well, you can get finewood there in the plains. So you could just get it there, rather than port it in, etc....

[wind elk]

oh hey Robert o/

[flat stag]

does anyone remember which metals (raw VS smelted) can be found Mistlands? I am planning a trip and I want to make sure that I bring everything with me that can't be obtained in ML. Especially in regard to, if I want to build a forge or something like that.

In other words. I want to be self-sufficient in ML without having to sail the long journey again

[silk token]

copper and iron only iirc

[steel mica]

You can get scrap iron and scrap copper from the ancient gears

And bulk of iron from the bridges

[silk token]

so if you're looking to make krom, bring tin

[flat stag]

Awesome, guys - thanks! I am not planning to use a sword.

[silk token]

magic? if so silly things like blood bags, skeleton skulls, surtling cores, other biome things for staves

oh nvm u have portal im thinking no portal mode

[paper marsh]

Blackmetal can also be good to bring

[fossil delta]

Kind of critical, imo.

[tight yacht]

is tasty mead useful through all the game or is it eventually replaced with something better?

[paper marsh]

Useful all throughout. I think most people don't use it, but it's honestly pretty good

Something like stamina potions are gonna be better, but those have a 2 minute cooldown. Tasty meads you can keep chugging whenever you want

[tight yacht]

yeah thats why i like them, they dont compete with anything either

constant use, doesnt restrict the use of things like health pots

did the elder power get updated to add health regen and extra resources from ores as well?

for some reason i am remembering that only increasing wood chopping yields and nothing else

[paper marsh]

They went back and updated I think ALL of the boss powers

[tight yacht]

yeah thats significantly better now

[paper marsh]

Mostly buffs, so they're all more useful now (except bonemass, which got hit with a weighted bag of bricks)

[tight yacht]

before it was eikthyr power all the way until bonemass

and rarely elder power if you were doing a dedicated wood harvest occasionally

now elder power is super good

the ore harvesting boost alone is great

[paper marsh]

It's nice for resource gathering yea, helping out with mining too now

The health regen is meh imo

Wait until you see what Moder's power does

[tight yacht]

yeah health regen is whatever, but that will be great for getting extra iron

im juuust starting the swamp now so im very happy with that power

eikthyr is nice for exploring black forest since thats all running, but the swamps are a lot more sailing to accomplish their exploration i feel like

you can see a lot further in and see if there are any crypts that make it worth disembarking

if not, sail on

so if i am reading the elder power correctly, does it just increase the chop/pickaxe damage, or does it increase yields?

[paper marsh]

I always sail around to find a swamp with a bunch of crypts, a tall mountain, and a nice meadows/bf to settle down in, all close together

That way my iron and silver transportation time is so short. I usually don't even use boats or cart, just run it back to base

[tight yacht]

i do a meadows base near the sea that is easy to defend, then i dont expand until i am looking for a mistlands/plains split

before i did a separate base for meadows, swamp, and plains

too much work and not really worth it

[paper marsh]

Yeah I usually just make a shoddy shack until I find a place to settle down to start swamp

Then maybe make a plains base later

[tight yacht]

the ol shoddy shack start lol

a valheim classic

i think there is a good argument for what your idea is though ill probably start doing that as well

the issue is i cant stand a shoddy shack at any point in my playthrough so i always dedicate time to making the meadows base nice

[shy marlin]

if you ain't buildin you ain't tryin

[paper marsh]

I also like it because as I'm searching for that "perfect spot", I discover a bunch of traders, leviathans, and serpents. All of which give amazing stuff for that stage of the game

I did do one run where I made a rule for myself to only build portals inside of bases

And that caused me to build a lot of bases. Was pretty fun

[tight yacht]

my ideal meadows location is either a peninsula type thing which is easily defended and has sea access, or those cluster of 5 tall rocks that can be easily walled off

[steel mica]

Im bout to throw gang signs at odin if I dont find a 2star asksvin

[shy marlin]

i'll throw gang signs at him with you too

[tight yacht]

but due to farming being what it is, im a big believer in the endgame base location being a mistlands/plains split

[shy marlin]

yea plains/mist is prolly mechanically the best spot

[tight yacht]

i spent a ton of time making a great stone spire base in the plains thinking that would be the final location, only to be immediately disappointed in seeing the mistlands need their own thing

[shy marlin]

hope for 3 sap roots too

[steel mica]

Its been like 40days

after my first 2star asksvin in this world

The first one died to a damn valkyrie

[idle storm]

i've never even seen one. Over three different worlds and despite going out at nights looking. Do they even spawn without dev commands?

only half joking on the question too

[shy marlin]

only at night time

same with 2 star bears

but yea they're giga rare

i've only seen one ever

[flat stag]

it's definitely a plan 😄

[steel mica]

I've encountered like 4

[shy marlin]

[flat stag]

the question is - how many. Would 4-6 sap extractors be enough

[paper marsh]

Mistlands bases look very pretty and I love building them

But I find you don't really need a base to farm veggies. Just put up a couple stakewalls and a portal and you can farm your veggies

[paper marsh]

4-6 sounds pretty good to me

[steel mica]

3 on main world and 1 here on my 2nd playthrough world

[flat stag]

cool - otherwise there is Plains nearby and I will bring mats to make a blast furnace

[paper marsh]

Kinda depends if you want to lean into magic. Magic likes more sap than non-magic

[idle storm]

i'd say 5 is the minimum if you want a good upgrade speed, 8-10 if you also want to play a mage build

[flat stag]

Would be nice with a revamped Valheim mode where you can use low level magic from the moment that you begin

[shy marlin]

6 roots has been fine for my mage runs

[paper marsh]

6 sounds like plenty to me for a mage build

But it is quite preference based

[idle storm]

since dvergr crates can drop soft tissue you should raid every dvergr tower that has some anyway so you'll end up with plenty of extractor parts anyway

[flat stag]

I know my last comment was off topic - but i am kinda hungry and my mind is weird now

[oblique zinc]

why is swamp dweller's delight is 35/35, so weak .. should be 50/50. It just doesn't make any sense, ladies and gentlemen

[flat stag]

cool - what is the optimal method to raid their towers? I remember using a cart to smash their ward stone. Is there a better method now?

[fossil delta]

Because they are not meant to be better than current foods. They are a good, solid, base line upon which to build with the other foods.

[oblique zinc]

I mean 35/35 is meadows and BF level, if you need sausages to make it then it should have a health of 50

[paper marsh]

Probably the best. I would say just break the crate though, not the ward (nevermind, didn't see it was for getting the soft tissue from crates)

Once you have eitr you can also drop that to make it break the crate

[idle storm]

you can also throw refined eitr behind the ward but the cart trick still works

[paper marsh]

Could also not cheese and just fight them head on

[idle storm]

haven't tried the blob bombs yet but an oozer or two should clear out any tower without starred mages too

if there are starred mages THEY will clear out the ward trying to kill it

[shy marlin]

You can kite a gjall to hit the extractor too if it’s a non basement extractor

[fossil delta]

Their fire mages are the best way to destroy their own towers.

[tight yacht]

the swamp is so fkin gross i love it

all the environment vibes in this game are just great

[steel mica]

The queen fight gotta be my #1 favourite fight

[flat stag]

it's a very strange method - i wonder if it was intended by the devs or if they expected you to raid the tower in a different way

[flat stag]

hoe is your friend in the swamp 😄 and some standing torches

[tight yacht]

once i find one worth terraforming, definitely

[flat stag]

i meant - to create paths where you don't swim - where the leeches cant bite you

[tight yacht]

yeah i know

[flat stag]

and just so you can run faster, use carts, etc

[paper marsh]

Pretty sure they expect you to fight the dvergr

Or possibly bring monsters over to fight them

[tight yacht]

for now its faster to just do things by foot unless i find a really big biome that has a lot of stuff worth doing that

if its just one or two crypts, i can walk or jump

[flat stag]

I got surprised by the amount of iron i got just from 3 crypts. When i played the game a few years ago it seemed like I had to raid 5 or more crypts for that amount of iron

[silk token]

thats one of my favorite parts of the game, slowly pulling a heavy cart down a spooky path looking for the next torch marking the way

[flat stag]

hehe ye it's awesome - especially scary if it's night and ghost is chasing you

[tight yacht]

mostly what i look for in a swamp biome that makes it worth setting up shop in, is a lot of thistle, spawners, and gas geysers in the same area

so i can farm enemies and coal easily

[fossil delta]

With good RNG you can get as much as about 120 iron in a crypt. Always could.

[idle storm]

You're probably faster just using Eikthyr and troll mead and doing 2-3 runs than flattening a workable cart path you'll only ever use once

[silk token]

when everything just slowwwly starts to glow blue....

[flat stag]

my only prob with swamps is that crypts are extremely boring - i wish it was a bit more of a challenge down there and less of digging and searching generic rooms

[flat stag]

looks like they didnt test this enough 😄

[fossil delta]

They only get boring once you figure out how to deal with everything with the least amount of risk.

[idle storm]

Or once you're past the swamp but still need tons of iron anyway

[flat stag]

poison mead, campfire in the crypt and stagbreaker = easy and zzZZZzz

[fossil delta]

Yeah, still, you have low risk.

[flat stag]

If I could redesign the crypts i would make some of them go even deeper, maybe having some special monsters that drop loads of iron (in the basement)

[idle storm]

copper at least you can just pop an entire node with the trollstav so it's easy to farm at endgame. Black metal gets delivered to your front door every night after you beat Yag.
Just iron remains a slog.

[green reef]

I never cart metals, I always just setup a portal and do quick runs.

[idle storm]

i cart silver. The others i run.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I tried carting metals, but just portaling back and running the metals to a boat was just faster than all the effort needed to make the cart work.

[paper marsh]

Perhaps. I think players are always gonna find ways to exploit game mechanics to bypass developers wishes

Personally I play with a lot of self-imposed rules to avoid overly cheesy/exploitative behavior taking away the fun. But that's up to preference, some people find games more fun with exploits

[green reef]

troll potions, ratatosk, eikthyr, moder all easier systems for me.

[idle storm]

I always have 100 run & jump by the time i reach plains too 😂

[fossil delta]

I might still cart silver, buts its been a long time since I found a cart more sensible than just running it to a boat, or straight to my base, since I often have a nice mountain next to my base.

[paper marsh]

I never do 😭

One time I had 100 spear tho

[idle storm]

I like keeping the dvergr alive and build them replacement towers (out of grausten since i have more than enough lol).

[green reef]

silver is one of the other strange ones you might just huck it off the mountain

[tight yacht]

i use a cart for silver usually

[fossil delta]

I have not had a 100 run or jump by plains since Mistlands was added. 😄 Guess I progress too fast now a days.

[tight yacht]

yeet it off the side of the mountain

[idle storm]

I like taking my time and exploring and building on the side. Sometimes i might spend entire days just building out a random portal outpost for the fun of it.

[fossil delta]

The side of my mountain going down to my base in my current run, is mild enough to just run back and forth.

[idle storm]

like seriously, troll cave portal #15 does not need a full glass front and ashwood porch, but it is what it is 😂

[fossil delta]

I do FAR less building now a days, compared to how much I used to do. So definitely a factor.

[tight yacht]

way too many portals lol

i usually do one for each biome in an area where their specific resources are dense, and if i can combo that with the trader even better

mark all the resource nodes on the map, and do a loop every now and then if i need those

[fossil delta]

I easily have 30+ portals by the end of Ashlands. I explore a lot, and leave at least one portal on every large island.

[tight yacht]

saves space in the final base portal room too

[flat stag]

path of least resistance

otherwise it's masochism 😄

My own rule is: play on normal as it was intended, don't use cheats like duping items, etc.

If there is an exploit then I will 100% use it - not necessarily because I agree with it being there.

If a shop keeper accidentally gives me too much money back, I won't go back in there and tell them "hey, here is some of* your money back". That's on them. But that's just my opinion

[idle storm]

i make a portal at pretty much every troll cave i come across just because it's so easy. Same for infested mines and putrid holes.

And having more backup portals all over the map has turned out useful more than once

[fossil delta]

I do tend to have more portals in Mistlands, due to extractor locations and the fact that the mines regen every 4 hours.

In Ashlands most of my portals are just in Citadels. I might have 2 or 3 in other locations.

[flat stag]

A quick question about Enshrouded. Are building mechanics there anything like in Valheim, at all? Smoke ventilation, stability, etc. Or is it much more primitive?

[fossil delta]

I think its actually more advanced. Far more options, far better gardens, and so on.

[flat stag]

I meant - realism and stuff. Not just building for the looks but because it has to function in a certain way to prevent disaster

[fossil delta]

Well, you build in rather safe zones in the first place.

[plush umbra]

yea i do the exact same thing, i haven't played in months but i could never port metals, so i dont do it.

[flat stag]

I know Subnautica has something called hull integrity, but it's too simplified imo. So I am looking for more games where you really have to think, before you build. Where things have to make sense, logically. Not like in Minecraft where you can build a huge castle on top of a 1 km long stick

[steel mica]

The hull integrity in subnautica is too simple imo

[fossil delta]

That said, my kids built some seriously impressive cities in Minecraft. Without mods.

[plush umbra]

and im aware I can turn that feature off somehow but sticking with that og stuff is important I think, just generally it makes life more fun. You have to be more creative and you end up exploring more if you have limitations like that.

[steel mica]

Like how can one lithium hull support an entire underwater base

In the deeper parts

[flat stag]

yeah - it's basically:
window = unstable
no window = stable
no window and more stuff on the wall = even stabler

not much room for creativity and logic 😄 its kinda predetermined for you

[fossil delta]

I stay away from such games. I was a submariner for 10 years, so long ago I found under water games to be too... unrealistic, for me.

[hard sluice]

i like those 'bridge builder' games. i like building in valheim, but theres some troll physics going on.

[flat stag]

same - if I could port metals, my experience would be too lame, simple and boring. It's like cutting off a half of Valheim's experience

[green reef]

try without portals entirely 😄

[hard sluice]

if you are ok with exploits, you can manipulate where your character spawns by using another world...
(i dont do that, but in theory, its there.)

[flat stag]

i would if the reward was great enough and if game had sufficiently with mechanics to support that kind of play

then i would even play with no map

[plush umbra]

Yea exactly

[fossil delta]

I am looking forward to trying out that new LotR's survival style game. Bought it months ago, but I need to stop spending all my spare time playing Valheim to try it out. 😄

[steel mica]

Not me waiting for nightfall as to continue my hunt for a 2star asksvin

[flat stag]

I wish WoW Classic had Valheim-like survival mode gameplay

[fossil delta]

I quit playing WoW 15+ years ago. I do not miss it.

[flat stag]

Where you could build some things in certain areas, make campfires that gave meaningful buffs and where food and drink mattered more than simply replenishing your hp/mana bar

[fossil delta]

My eldest son guilted my wife into our playing WoW with him again, starting next month, when a new expansion is coming out. I guess I might last a week. 😄

[plush umbra]

I dont know you but i'm begging you, for all thats holy, don't go back to wow. I survived quitting and i'm never going back.

[flat stag]

"I wish we haven't called it Warcraft" <-- have you heard that one? 😄

[fossil delta]

I am not going back willingly. Like I said, my wife was guilted into it, so I am being dragged back in, pretty much kicking and screaming.

[plush umbra]

its a dopamine slot machine endless life sucking loop of shame, dishonesty, and regret

going back is going back, good luck soldier

[tight yacht]

sounds like my ex-wife

[paper marsh]

Think I spent like 3 hours or so in WoW

[flat stag]

the only thing about WoW that is still worth it, is playing old vanilla / classic. And maybe even in hardcore mode, where you only have 1 life

[fossil delta]

We did play it for years as a family, so I get it. I dread playing it again, even with its "improvements". I still expect to hate it.

[flat stag]

But then again, I always played solo in WoW classic / vanilla - that is why it was kind of like a survival game for me. No guilds to carry me. No raids to give me best gear. Just me in my shabby clothes trying to survive the murlocs

[fossil delta]

Thats how I was playing it towards the end. I still quit.

[tight yacht]

was there some kind of update recently that added stuff you need to reset your world for?

like axes or something

[flat stag]

Sometimes you help someone out in the world. Or they help you. And it's awesome - no strings attached.

[fossil delta]

Only if you have no meadows to explore. They are not so important as to do a new world for. IMO, of course.

Like I could probably find enough meadows in which to find those axes in, but I can also just wait until I do another play through. So I'll wait. But if your not like me, and play Valheim again and again and again, it is likely worth it to you to start a new world over them.

[tight yacht]

does anything spawn in the swamp towers?

the wooden or the stone ones

[idle storm]

one of the training weapons i think?

[fossil delta]

Just the spawners, vegvisers, some times chests.

[tight yacht]

do the training weapons do anything

[fossil delta]

Just allow you to train without beating TWIG up too much.

[idle storm]

do almost no damage and cost little stamina? Not really, they're basically for beating on training dummies with

[tight yacht]

does TWIG have health or something

[paper marsh]

Sometimes a wraith will spawn in the wooden huts

[idle storm]

it does but it regens it pretty fast

too much damage can still destroy it though

[fossil delta]

Yeah, it takes a lot to destroy TWIG. Its just impossible to do with those training weapons.

[idle storm]

once you get blood magic to ~80 two skellies do enough dps to destroy one over time

a player in mistland or ashland gear might do it in one combo

[paper marsh]

Skellies on vhard would proba destroy it pretty quick

[fossil delta]

I was thinking, you could probably train on TWIG with meadows level weapons, and not destroy it. Probably. I mean, I can shoot it with an Arbalast and not destroy TWIG.

Thats a Mistlands tier weapon.

[idle storm]

well yeah because you take 3 seconds to reload between shots

[fossil delta]

I think it smore like 5, but yeah, it helps to allow TWIG to regen.

[idle storm]

Mistwalker or Krom shred it like any other mob

meadows weapons should be fine though so the training ones really aren't necessary, they're mostly a collectible

and the sword is the only one you can upgrade so the others break way too fast

[fossil delta]

They last long enough. At least while your skill is below 40. You can only upgrade the sword to lvl 2, so not that much of an increase.

Besides, if your going to do a proper training area, your going to have a workbench right there to take a second to repair, anyways.

[green reef]

thats why I assumed the training weapons were wood. quick and easy repair and your primary weapon doesn't get worn down in case a raid happens or whatever.

[tight yacht]

you gotta have a pretty wild base to not be able to repair your primary weapon in the event of a raid

[green reef]

maybe they are wood so they could be provided without any balance issues?

[tight yacht]

yeah i think its more immersive to practice with wooden weapons

[steel mica]

I've gotten 2 valkyrie trophies but yet to have encountered a 2** asksvin

[tacit crystal]

You goin' during night?

[idle storm]

i must've spend 40-50 nights looking by now. Sometimes the RNG just hates you.

[green reef]

I couldn't find a 2** asksvin when I was in the mood to hunt

[steel mica]

Been going out at night ever since I defeated fader lol

[flat stag]

if I want a chunk of Plains to be free of goblins and mosquittos, does placing workbenches help (to prevent them from respawning)?

[foggy glacier]

Yes, as long as there are no gaps in your spawnproofing.

[flat stag]

awesome - any tips on how to do that? Or just the normal, manual, watch the radius way?

[foggy glacier]

use the workbench to view the radius. I like to put vertical posts at the edge of each zone. Set up your benches to overlap the edges and when you're sure you're covered, switch to campfires (less likely to be destroyed and they don't need to be lit to work for spawnproofing)

[flat stag]

would you mind making a super simple mspaint sketch to show what you mean?

[gray sand]

@thorn citrus regarding #screenshots - can you turn the giant skylight on plz? I want to appreciate your build!

[lusty dirge]

I really hoped I'd have more luck with the new axe than I had with the bear trophy.. 1 axe head vs 21 bee hives so far

[tight yacht]

dont fireplaces (even unlit) also do the same thing?

[tired depot]

When is the ps5 release

[gray sand]

When it is ready.

[tired depot]

Fair enough

[gray sand]

Worse luck would be 21 of the same axehead and 1 beehive 😭

[lusty dirge]

True 😂

[paper marsh]

21 beehives 1 axehead does sound pretty rough tho

[lusty dirge]

Yeah, no more meadows to explore without the karve. On the plus side I've got beehives and found haldor

[green reef]

pretty sure you could have a seed without house 6?

[lusty dirge]

I found a few, most without a chest and those with a chest without axe head

[idle storm]

if you don't mind looking in a new world you could try D477LggZtV
got two pairs in under an hour just running around the starting island on that one

[lusty dirge]

Thanks, but I'm good, I'll get them eventually 😊

[green reef]

I feel like I got them in well under an hour on Asv6nMJd2k

[thorn citrus]

what is the giant skylight ?

[gray sand]

The sun?

[thorn citrus]

you mean the sun

oh

it's night time currently

so I can't, but I'll take another screenshot when the sun will rise

[gray sand]

💛

[thorn citrus]

I mean I could cheat but I don't wanna even for sunlight

cuz it's my vanilla survival playthrough with some friends

[flat stag]

really? unlit fireplaces prevent respawns?

[lunar lantern]

Am I high, or do Sea Serpents despawn the moment they are released from your harpoon if the sun goes up??
I was fishing for sepent meat, and the bugger just disappeared.

[paper marsh]

I mean night spawn serpents do despawn on daybreak

Either funny timing or harpoon stops it from despawning at daybreak until it's no longer tethered

[lunar lantern]

a bit hard to tell what is a day serpent and a night serpent.

[thorn citrus]

do you want screenshots from the sky ? I can maybe cheat just a bit and use freefly only for a few screenshots

[gray sand]

I was mainly trying to find a positive way to say "Why would you ever take screenshots in complete darkness" 😬

[wild schooner]

We tried transporting an asksvin for 7 hours before finally getting it home

[paper marsh]

True. Look to see if it's storming though. Serpents only spawn from storms or night

[lunar lantern]

Ah, so if the storm stops or the night ends, then that's a que for the serpent to go home.

[paper marsh]

Storm serpents stick around forever until killed

Night serpents despawn when it turns day

[lunar lantern]

That feels unsatisfying... I was literally at the shore...

[paper marsh]

If it's night AND storming, impossible to know what type of serpent it is

[lunar lantern]

it would be nicer if spawed serpents only despawn one you are out of range of them...

[thorn citrus]

oh

I mean it was only to show the how high the tower was

[gray sand]

While fair, I genuinely cannot see anything in that screenshot due to darkness 😭

[thorn citrus]

and I forgot to post my only finished room wich is my forge

[green reef]

I didn't think anything spawned out of range...

[wild schooner]

Which lead us to playing Valheim for 11 hours straight

[lunar lantern]

I meant despawn. typo. 😭

[tight yacht]

yeah and you can bury them so you can block off a large area and it looks like regular ground

use the crafting mench to see their radius to make sure they all overlap

[sour furnace]

ki was fighting a troll, and i realized... valheim is a rythym game and a job sim at the same time!

[haughty geode]

am I supposed to grind copper so much, fighting off tree trunks every 4 swings?

[gray sand]

You can build a stakewall around the node to keep things out.

Also you can skip copper to go kill Elder, than use his power to drastically speed up copper collection.

[tacit crystal]

Campfire also helps keeping regular greydwarves away.

[shy marlin]

🤙

[tacit crystal]

[haughty geode]

blue eyed ones?

they still throw rocks

and I am in a weird place where there's either troll or bear ever so often

[tacit crystal]

Shamans and brutes are not afraid tho.

[haughty geode]

so last couple days where just me trying to dig copper non-stop

[tacit crystal]

Bears also avoid fire.

[gray sand]

Walls.

[haughty geode]

I am not going to bother building anything around copper deposit unless the grind is the way and there's nothing else to do

[tacit crystal]

Is there spawner nearby btw?

[haughty geode]

no

[gray sand]

"People keep attacking me and I refuse to build walls."
-Support ticket elevated to "Self-inflicted issue."

[haughty geode]

they just spawn really often

[shy marlin]

yea, that's just kinda a feature of the black forest

[haughty geode]

not talking about my home. though little ones are rather annoying too

[gray sand]

Never even mentioned your home. This has been about copper the entire time.

[tacit crystal]

Usually few campfires have done the trick for me, and when I dig deeper underground the enemies cannot reach me.

[haughty geode]

👀 deeper?!.

[gray sand]

80% of most copper is underground.

[tacit crystal]

The node is mostly underground.

[haughty geode]

so, they are not going to remove walls with a couple of swings?

[haughty geode]

how much of it is beneath dirt unconnected?

[gray sand]

They won't even attack them mostly, because if they cannot see you, they just wander around with the yellow "looking" status.

[gray sand]

See above.

Nodes are like 6-8m tall iirc.

[tacit crystal]

Usually you might need to dig until the 8m cap to reach the bottom of the node.

[haughty geode]

huh, then what makes some of them go through the trouble of swimming to get to my home?..

[haughty geode]

good to know. had no idea, even though I did do some digs around to see any missed bits

[gray sand]

Greylings are a plague and why Meadows is the worst biome to build in.

[tacit crystal]

Probably lots of "missed bits" now.

[nocturne wolf]

no meadows no neck pond

[green reef]

if after you are done with the copper node it doesn't look like a giant crater, then there is tons of copper left

[haughty geode]

welp, too late

[haughty geode]

so sharpened stackes are just a waste?

[gray sand]

😭 We are talking about copper and walls.
And you're brought up your house and now sharpened stakes.

Why can we not just talk about copper and walls? 😭

[silk token]

i actually started playing with stakes after not using them for a long time, i think they’re actually hilarious and strong in some situations. even good for deer hunting XD i just fought off my first “forest is moving” with them it was very effective

[haughty geode]

it's a done topic
copper deposits are large,
which means that one should make a cart and build fences around so not to be seen and disturbed during intimate process of up and down motions of the tool

[green reef]

I wouldn't make a cart or build a fence. Just dig down and enjoy life in your copper mine. plop down a campfire for quicker recovery and even resting opportunity. plop down a workbench. nothing will bother you once you get your mine sufficiently deep

[silk token]

imo if you’re comfortable around trolls, the fastest method is unarmed trolls because their down smash hits all the way down underground the deposit, you can mine a node in a few minutes

[gray sand]

Mining with Elder is faster than trolls.

[silk token]

fight me

[gray sand]

You would lose in this particular instance.

[silk token]

hahaha, but serious how fast would you say you can mine a node? including digging it out? i have a video of mining 2 nodes and rested buff timing it i can check it

[earnest ember]

I can come and help you while you mine if you like

[green reef]

never used a troll to do a whole one before, usually just enough to get some early copper quickly

[earnest ember]

Also hello everyone I am new to server not new to Valheim though
Sick of playing alone hahahah

[gray sand]

Have never timed. But Elder is extremely noticeable in terms of how many fewer hits you need per node.

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[earnest ember]

Ah yeah cool
Thanks

[silk token]

it is, i like it for mining iron. but imean like trolls man, you dont even need to dig the thing out.

[gray sand]

My last world I didn't even dig them out, because I just found so much copper that I picked off the above ground layer and moved on.

[silk token]

hehe, thats fair too yeah if you’re solo. multiplayer that was like eating the tops off all the muffins

[green reef]

usually I mine up the one closest to my base, I'm not sure why I'd want to give up on it to travel further?

[silk token]

i found the clip in memes and clips, it was apparently 9 minutes to get 101 copper

[lapis granite]

finally found my first mysterious and can now craft the axes.

[dark coyote]

very little, not worth the work imo

[pine star]

Guys where can I found the mountains, I already killed bonemass

[tacit crystal]

Anywhere.

[silk token]

id sail out to sea and find them from a distance, pick one nice and tall and long

[open bolt]

You can spot them better from the sea when you are sailing, if you are close to an island that has a mountain.

[fossil delta]

They are usually in the middle of any decent sized "island".

[open bolt]

If you didn't explore the starter island entirely, there's the possibility that you will have a mountain or mountains in your starter island as well.
I recommend looking for a big mountain, for more resources.

[fossil delta]

Those are usually tiny and all but useless, but you could get lucky and get a rather big one.

[open bolt]

I mean, it really depends on the seed. I've played in a few seeds with big mountains near the spawn. One of my main characters even had the mountain boss there.

Just across the place where I had my base.

[fossil delta]

Yep, you can get lucky. Like my previous starter had a big one.

[pine star]

I see, thank you really much guys

[haughty geode]

I hope that bronze pickaxe isn't a player trap and is actually better... though it feels about the same - grind

[green reef]

it lasts longer and mines faster. but it has to be repaired at a forge.

[silk token]

i make it sometimes when i have lots of copper to spare, yeah nathans right its nice cuz if u upgrade it especially it lasts longer, otherwise u got 3 stupid picks. just gotta bring coal and 6 copper around when you mine iron later

[fossil delta]

If you make a simple covered work bench at your mining site, you don't have to go any where for repairs. Make a covered fire and you can easily keep the Rested status going. I don't really want the bronze pick until I am going into the swamps.

For clarity, I am fine with getting it sooner, just the pick axe is the last bronze item I worry about crafting.

[frozen fable]

now that Early Axes exist and there isn't a need to craft the Bronze axe, i go for the copper pickaxe first, frees up a slot from not having to carry 2 antler pickaxes and it does make the mining go faster

[abstract warren]

Just had my first Horde raid

[chrome badge]

Lok'tar!

[abstract warren]

I love these little guys for bringing me a nice little free delivery of black metal 😌

[open bolt]

Is the new Celebration content, like the new cap and decorative lights etc, going to stay permanently or is it temporary like the seasonal decorations?

[steel mica]

I believe its permanent

But could be the other way around since we are celebrating Valheim's early access

[chrome badge]

It's permanent. 👍

[steel mica]

But im 100% sure it'll stay

[open bolt]

[steel mica]

Theres your answer

[abstract warren]

I don't quite understand how the windmill work (or doesn't work) with regards to the wind

[shy marlin]

Stronger wind --> spins faster --> more barley processed

the surroundings is also a factor (not sure how important)

but generally you want them in a semi open area

[abstract warren]

How do I know the wind's strength

[shy marlin]

if you want to exactly know the winds strength it's a lil more complicated but generally you can just look at the weather, and also the little wind particles you can observe that move around ya

for eg. thunderstorm in meadows generally has pretty intense winds, which makes ur windmill go brrrr

[steel mica]

One thing I hate about this is that its based on the players location, not the location of the windmill

wdym by this?, well I like making multi purpose base in the plains and mistlands

[shy marlin]

generally i just build 4 windmills and i never have to worry about wind

[steel mica]

But if I go to the mistlands side of the my base, the wind will drastically reduce or sometime dont even bother gushing wind at all

You see what I mean?

[shy marlin]

ye

[barren whale]

yea i flex my iron nails between windmills and spinning wheels
surely the windmills are just running on whatever your windspeed was when you left the area?

or when you reenter? i actually have never figured this out

[steel mica]

Yep so its best to make a portal back to base that is in the plains biome part

Not the mistlands

[barren whale]

lmao nice

[steel mica]

I like making bases boarding a plains and mistlands biome

It centralizes my farming

Plus 9 roots... juicy

[barren whale]

damn most i've seen togethr is about 6

[steel mica]

To be fair I havent comnected the other 6

Mostly been using the 3 at my base perimeter

[barren whale]

im usually in a large enough group that we'll stake out a whole sap run with multiple portal stops

[shy marlin]

yea 6 is my pb too

[barren whale]

hell yeah 3 is certainly plenty

[shy marlin]

in 1 area

[steel mica]

If you can get a mistless mistlands with around 3-6 roots and a plains biome boarding it

Oh my friend you just found sanctuary itself

[wind elk]

hmmm....I haven't peeked under the hood in a long time 🤔

[steel mica]

Haven't played in a while?

[wind elk]

I'm playing currently with a casual leisure group, just finally defeated Bonemass after 1 month

taking our sweet time 😉

[steel mica]

In my original world I had 4 that is safely in my perimeter wall

[steel mica]

sweeto neeto, honestly playing valheim with a group or with friendsis a luxury

Its a lot more different than playing solo

[wind elk]

even after all these update, iron beam is still the best in term of support decay rate

[fossil delta]

I've seen mention of a Flametal version. Iron is still better than that?

[steel mica]

It can be a bit annoying to use them plus they are a bit larger than iron beams

So they stick out like a beacon lol

[tough mulch]

Indeed they look ugly with most builds unless your making a modern highrise building

[alpine sphinx]

Is it even worth using anything else than the Mistwalker for the Ashlands? The enemies seem to just not care about physical damage at all

[tough mulch]

Well, does this include ashland Items

[alpine sphinx]

I see the crafting recipes but it's all just physical damage

[tough mulch]

Ahh I see, go raid a fortress or two, you'll understand

[fossil delta]

Demolisher is effective at giving you breathing room.

The silver sword has the best DPS vs certain Ashlands mobs.

Spinesnap is worth it if you use bows much.

[steel mica]

Himminafl is a good alternative aswell, especially against morgen its weak to lighting and if decent atgeir level could stagger them

[gray sand]

Hide them inside grausten pillars.

[steel mica]

IF you're using grausten

[fossil delta]

I've heard that, but not something I use myself. I do well with them with Mistwalker and my BM Tower Shield. To the point where I consider them easy to deal with.

[gray sand]

Can give good accent pillars against black marble construction, while hiding both iron beams and flametal.

Full-on graust walls are a no from me though.

[fossil delta]

That does sound like an intriguing combo.

[steel mica]

I like mixing both grausten and stone

[gray sand]

Stone good.
Black marble amazing.
Slight graust accents for the contrast.
Rest wood.

[fossil delta]

Thats too much white for me. I like mix and match approaches to break up the solid colors.

[gray sand]

Stone is usually my floor material to contrast with darker furniture and the black marble walls.

And it just looks the smoothest for floors imo.

[fossil delta]

I can handle solid stone or marble as floors because of how much we have to break up that monotony.

You'll never see me just do solid white or black or gausten walls. I have to break that up with off setting accents.

[steel mica]

The only mini boss that doesnt have a raid is lord reto

Which is understandable honestly, imagine a raid were an enemy can spawn that has the ability to 1 tap you lol

[fossil delta]

A lot of them can one tap me if they catch me at 25 HP.

Ask me how many times I've gone out to fight, forgetting I have not eaten in a very long time?

Fortunately I almost always realize it before its too late. At least I always respawn close by.

[steel mica]

The one thing about feast is that you only have 25ms of good stats

And if you dont have extra food, goodluck lol

I purely run FFE

mistland and ashland feast combo'd with marinated greens

[fossil delta]

I usually only use one feast as a base, then max out whichever I want to max out with the other two foods.

[steel mica]

The late-game feast are borderline broken imo

you have access to both a decent chunk of hp and stamina AND a bit of eitr

[fossil delta]

I've only made up to Mistlands.

[steel mica]

Another playthrough?

[fossil delta]

I do many play throughs, but so far I have only beaten Fader once.

[steel mica]

Ah

This is like my 3rd playthrough

[fossil delta]

I am in Mistlands in my current game.

[steel mica]

My first one I quit for a while during iron age

my 2nd I beaten fader

and this 3rd same aswell

[fossil delta]

With over 5300 hours, I've lost count.

I've only gone into Ashlands 3 times, and beaten Fader only once. So that much I remember.

[steel mica]

I swear to odin 2* asksvin are ever rarer than a 2* wolf

[fossil delta]

I've seen them, at least. But they are definitely rare. Seen a lot more 1 stars.

[steel mica]

I cleared like a giant area of ashlands so I can just circle around it so new asksvins spawn

[fossil delta]

Unfortunately I hate Ashlands. So I just beat Fader and stop.

[steel mica]

I swear when im hunting for them they dont spawn, but when im not actively hunting them THEN THEY SPAWN

[fossil delta]

When I am out and about thats all I do is kill them. Even the 2 stars. I'm not even interested in breeding them, because of how much I don't like the biome.

[burnt glen]

Asksvin is the most annoying thing in that biome.

[fossil delta]

The Fallen top my list, but they are annoying, for sure.

The Morgen irritate me most when they get too close to something I have built.

[steel mica]

I have no trouble dealing with the melee's but the range omg they make me go insane

ESPECIALLY THE DAMN TWITCHER

[burnt glen]

To me, the Valk feels more eventful whereas Asksvin just tank hits and knock me arround. Btw I don't know how I'm going to do that in this no-bow run.

[fossil delta]

I hate how prone to just running away they are.

[steel mica]

I swear the charred clan are just cowardly bastards

They get hit once they DIP

and return to harass you again

[fossil delta]

They do all tend to run away if you don't destroy them quickly.

[tough mulch]

Dont you just love it when your close enough to a spawner that they aggro you but far enough to break the mob cap of the spawner?

I was chilling in a hole and when I went up an army of twitchers was waiting for me

[fossil delta]

I learned a long time ago to never chill in a hole in Valheim. Thats begging to get killed. 😄 😄

[tough mulch]

The AI is really rage baiting us lol

[tough mulch]

Minecraft habits die hard

[steel mica]

I specfically hate the twitcher more than other mobs in the game

Actualy its my most hated

mob

[fossil delta]

The Twitcher is clearly deigned to make us.... twitch.

[steel mica]

You can throw at me 2 fallen valkyries and I'll be fine but throw in a fast moving, cowardly, ranged enemy

[tough mulch]

How about 10 fast moving cowardly enemies

[steel mica]

Then we have problem

[burnt glen]

How about Asksvin playing viking volleyball?

[fossil delta]

I use Tower Shields, so they do the bouncing.

[steel mica]

I've had some occasions of it throwing me into the lava but not as annoying since I use jump mead with feather cape

[tough mulch]

Viking + blood shield = ball

[burnt glen]

Ah, I don't do magic but I shall use the new meads in Ashlands, I haven't been to the biome after the Bog Witch update.

[fossil delta]

I don't do magic either. Its kind of fun to play around with, but I couldn't get into fighting with it. I am much better with melee.

[burnt glen]

I do appreciate how Ashlands is conquer-able, you can complete the entire island. It's a little more difficult for the other biomes as they're more spread out in the world.

[steel mica]

The only time I ever used a tower shield is capturing a 2* asksvin

[fossil delta]

Its all I use, since I don't parry or dodge roll.

[steel mica]

Frostner or Klossen?

🤔

[burnt glen]

Klossen

[steel mica]

Frostner has consistent slow down but klossen can immobilize

[fossil delta]

Whats Klossen? Flametal?

[steel mica]

flametal mace

with jade

[fossil delta]

Oh, thats what I used, with lightning.

[steel mica]

I have more jade and bloodstone than lolite

[fossil delta]

I had a bunch of iolite, so my wife and I both went with it.

[steel mica]

I've been really liking the jade

[fossil delta]

Think we used that on the bows.

[steel mica]

I have it on my slayer, mace, and crossbow

[burnt glen]

Jade is my preferred on the mace. If it knocks enemies back and roots them, I can go with a faster weapon and get more damage off.

[fossil delta]

I killed fast enough with the lightning mace.

Of course my skill was pretty high. That helps. A lot.

[haughty geode]

so I decided to go sailing
it's a long trip...
third night
if I were to straighten out the route it probably ould reach the edge
was fairing through the foggy ocean following the wind
then, I saw ridged branches of tall trees...
next - green glow of the stone
and some skeletons with big anime swords
what awaits me there?..

oh lol
I see green eyes looking at me from the bottom of the sea..

[fossil delta]

You seen that weird boat in the ocean, on the floor?

[haughty geode]

I am sorry, how in the valheim he shoot me through the water?

as in, from the seafloor

[fossil delta]

Undead don't care about water.

[haughty geode]

wasn't looking beneath aside from some rocks

[fossil delta]

Skeletons, etc... will shoot you from under the water. Others can all attack while swimming.

[haughty geode]

that's swamp, right? map was telling me it's drk forest for some reason, then swamp popped or a moment and back to black forest though the scenery didn't change... smells liek a bug

[fossil delta]

That is swamp.

[tough mulch]

Must be a small area

[fossil delta]

The map is very... inconsistent when it comes to being on the water.

Ocean, plains, but you see no plains, black forest, but you see no forest, swamp, but you only have undead running around in the water, because its shallow enough, and so on...

Or my favorite, a Surtling Geyser, but you see no Surtlings, despite hearing them dying.

Of course the flame is barely breaking the surface, so deep enough, obviously.

[haughty geode]

it's quite big

[tribal leaf]

Finally decided face Eikthyr after getting root set armor level 1. Bronze spear and buckler level 3, with Tonic of Ratatosk drank. At that point i was the boss summoning the sacrifice.

[steel mica]

Overprepared lol

Let me guess you skipped the antler pickaxe and used a troll

[haughty geode]

ok now I want to revisit sea of thieves after doing this ship journey through stormy ocean

[tribal leaf]

Yep and just ended up going to the swamp and farming Abominations.

[haughty geode]

isn't that deer even easier then bear?

[tribal leaf]

Oh Eikthyr is super easy all you really need is a cooked meat and a couple of stamina boosts with fruit mushroom or honey. I just jumped ahead before facing the boss. Bear is much harder.

Believe a crude bow and wooden arrows is all that is needed

[steel mica]

spear.

[covert mist]

anyone know if Irongate is developing any other games?

[tribal leaf]

Seen wooden spear but no idea how to make one. Found one in a chest

[steel mica]

you WHAT now? 💀

Flint spear

adiawudawdaw 😭

[tribal leaf]

No an actual wooden one let me see if i can locate it give me a second.

I located it. Can't share photos Darn. But yep its right here in my inventory

[steel mica]

All the wooden weapons are only obtainable via searching for them in POIs in different biomes

Exception is wooden sword

and axe I believe

[rigid nebula]

The new graphics are nice but damn I had to turn off the bloom. I was in the plains and was damn near blinded 🫩. I think it's way too strong

[west mica]

Have you played Dragonwilds

That game is a bloom supernova

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure we can only craft the sword, unless you mean the newly added axes. I have not found either of those. The sword we can upgrade to lvl 2.

[wind elk]

as far as I've peeked, the iron beam still has the best decremental decay, granted it is now no longer the top of max support value

might have to do some test builds later when we finally progress to where I can actually grab some better material

[steel mica]

Alrighty we found a 2* asksvin

[fossil delta]

If you have been looking this entire time, thats a lot of time.

[steel mica]

I stayed up all night lol

So thats a good chunk of time

I did sleep yes

[steady zinc]

Hey are bears tamable now ? did they shadow dropped it out of nowhere ? (with honey) there's no mod in the server 100% sure and we're on the vanilla branch

[steel mica]

Bears eat blueberries but cannot be tamed

[steady zinc]

and honey ?

if you haven't tried right now don't answer because your knowledge might be outdated (respectfully)

[tepid prawn]

Not tamable Vanilla

[hard sluice]

i dont know the answer, but i suspect that they can be distracted with some food, but not tamed.
does it say its being tamed? with a %

[steady zinc]

it has been

that's why i'm asking

to know if anyone tried

[hard sluice]

maybe you could try in a solo world

i never tried another method than hitting those bears in the face with an axe...
you may be right, i would not know.

[plain reef]

Hey everyone, I am close to taking on the Queen for the first time, would anyone have any advice on strategy for her or best weapons to use etc?

[safe igloo]

hey everyone, im looking for advice that what is the best weapon/ armor set to go to swamp?

[plain reef]

I think I went with full bronze armour, but take poison resist potions with you if you can

[oblique zinc]

Troll is fine. Get a bronze shield and mace or spear and axe. Just watch out for 2* archers

[keen trench]

almost any weapon choice is viable, except for pierce, even tho i did it with Mistland's atgeir and was no optimal but fun. my safest queen fight was full mage, also the one that required less dodge timing skill.. for safety in general lightfoot and ratatosk help a lot

[steel mica]

Melee is quite hard against the queen but doable

[idle storm]

ooze bombs or bile bombs are a good way to deal with the adds. The bile bombs do a number on the queen too and cost very little stam to use.
Other than that keep in mind that you're basically untouchable while floating with the feather cape so kiting her up the stairs then jumping down to regen hp/stam is very useful.

[hard sluice]

my last fight with the queen, i used the frostner and fought her in the middle of the room.
it worked, but its probably the most difficult method to fight her

[keen trench]

yeh it took some deaths to learn the timing of attacs, we don't have a queen t.w.i.g yet

[idle storm]

i mean before they nerfed Bonemass you could just facetank her in carapace armor without even needing to block

just run in, spam attack, win in under 5 minutes

[hard sluice]

i prob should have used bonemass , but no portal/no map means i need to sail for an hour to change it..

[idle storm]

lol yeah that's a valid reason not to

[hard sluice]

i used my patchwork light armor, not the carapace. that was probably another mistake on my part.
(root harnesk, vile leggings and carapace helmet)

[idle storm]

but yeah her damage is pretty managable as long as you bring poison resist and some healing meads

and heavy armor

though as a mage it's easier since you basically just run up the stairs while throwing fireballs, regen eitr while floating down, repeat until death

[plain reef]

Thank you all for the advice

[idle storm]

don't think she even got an attack off last time i killed her like that

also bring mats for wisplights

wisp torches i mean

fights much easier if you can see 😁

[keen trench]

oh, just noticed the emote wheel has options, looks a lot cooler small on the side

[haughty geode]

the stomp of Elder has no right to be
a) this wide aeo
b) this much dmg

[drifting echo]

When will the update be?

[hard sluice]

are you using the best food for the biome vs the elder? i dont remember it being that bad.

[idle storm]

60 blunt, same damage as a log troll

so not that bad unless you take it unblocked because you thought you were out of range 😅

[haughty geode]

I just got stomped for 40hp
my armour is still leather though
it's more about the fact that nothing warned be that this will be a huge aeo and not just local stomp

[merry pebble]

Sadly we dont know, so the classic answer "when it is ready" 😄

[steel mica]

Theres your problem xd

[open bolt]

it's a big boi. can stomp far and wide.

[steel mica]

leather armor

[hard sluice]

if you don't use the best food, armor and weapon the biome has to offer, the boss will be challenging.
after a few playthrough, you can get away with less, but not on the 1st one.

in bf, i think the best food is deer stew, bear meat and carrot soup?
the troll armor is great. and i'm 100% sure you can parry (not stagger tho) the elder stomp with a bronze buckler.
i would probably not bother crafting a bronze sword anymore, and just use the bronze axe, but those would be my 2 weapons of choice if i wanted to fight the elder in melee range

[haughty geode]

don't have that in me to grind for bronze

[nocturne wolf]

troll and bear armor need no bronze

[haughty geode]

don;t know such things

[nocturne wolf]

two pieces of bear armor and one piece of troll armor will be the best protection you can get without spending any bronze. having three pieces of bear armor triggers a set bonus with percentage-based modifiers to increase damage taken

[chrome badge]

Spoiler alert, it's one of the smaller grinds in the game. 😄

[tough mulch]

I consider it one of the bigger ones actually, since you need to farm two types of ore and smelt 3x the amount for one ingot

[pale acorn]

just reached ashlands my bros

[tough mulch]

are you alive?

[pale acorn]

yeah

[tough mulch]

NOICE

how was your ashland experience

[nocturne wolf]

Most bronze items don't need as many bars because of this. Arrows are more expensive though, one bronze bar should craft 60.

even 50 would be ok

[idle storm]

wait there are arrows between flint and obsidian?

that people actually use i mean

because i don't think i've ever crafted a metal arrow besides silver (and those sucked)

[chrome badge]

Yes, people do things that you don't all the time. 😮

[pale acorn]

stressful , was running around to find a safe place for my portal

[tough mulch]

wood arrows 👍

[nocturne wolf]

I craft a few iron arrows so I have a full stack for the first mountain trip but otherwise I don't use any

[tough mulch]

aside from that if your into decorating bronze nails is a supply to grind for

[idle storm]

once you're at endgame farming copper is easy

[nocturne wolf]

since drakes are the first enemy I actually want to use a bow for I have very low bow skill going into mountains

[chrome badge]

Farming copper is easy at any point with my big troll friend helping me. 😄

[tough mulch]

fire arrows works good enough for drakes

[idle storm]

fair enough, though i'd think you'd find enough iron and poison arrows in swamp crypts to last you for that?

[nocturne wolf]

yes, I only do this if I didnt find 100 arrows

so I'm never spending more than 5 metal on arrows across an entire playthrough

[idle storm]

trolls are okay but a direct hit from the trollstav or a lava blob bomb blows up the entire deposit in one shot. Including most of the underground bits.

[tough mulch]

well thats one thing the arbelest is good at, bone arrows be cheap and hit decently

[chrome badge]

I'm not arguing that it isn't easy later, just that it's still easy early.

[tough mulch]

still hoping they add arbelest as a swanp tier weapon instead of mistlands, it just makes sense, bones and Iron are in the swamp

[idle storm]

fair enough

[agile linden]

Was there any comment/explanation from devs about strong deviation from viking/norse setting after swamps? By this I mean technology, building materials and armor/weapons that leans strongly into high fantasy direction?

[tacit crystal]

Skol & Hati is fun against the Queen and surprisingly effective despite the pierce damage.

[keen trench]

aah, right, didn't go that far with daggers (best i can do is blackmetal atm) but sounds fun! (converted dagger and bows char to fists as Call to Arms dropped)

[flat stag]

you mean I can use workbench to see the radius which will apply to the fireplace from that spot?

Does linen cape give any actual set bonus to the padded armor?

[tacit crystal]

No, it's mainly cosmetic as you can choose color for it.

[flat stag]

cool, thanks - so there is no "real" cloak that goes with the padded armor? I mean kinda like with troll armor where you get sneaky bonus

I guess I just keep my wolf cloak on since it will protect me from cold in the mountains

[nocturne wolf]

Troll cape is the only one with a set bonus

[candid basalt]

So will Lox cape

[glass edge]

The wolf's head looks much cooler though

All about the fashion

[green reef]

Mistland and Ashland capes all have special bonuses

[lyric shale]

Deep North 🤤

[lone rampart]

DN "cloak" is just those waterproof parkas made of seal intestines. 🦭

[candid basalt]

Caribou would be more traditional but you do you

[green reef]

so if there are seals, that means there will be baby seals?

[thorny lake]

is there a way to raise ground with hoe without needing a workbench closeby?

[merry pebble]

Not really, you can sometimes use the level ground function, but that cant raise it much

[sharp owl]

haven't played in a long time. Is the Flint Axe better than the club in practice?

for combat I mean

[tacit crystal]

There is no attack pattern changes for 1h axes and clubs.

But there is now new dual axe weapon which you can locate its axe heads for around Meadows wooden buildings.

[sharp owl]

so the Flint Axe is just straigh better then. Thanks!

[paper marsh]

Club is gonna be better against skeletons, but otherwise they’re both just fine at most fights

Flint axe is gonna be better imo in tight quarters like in burial chamber hallways, because it’s secondary attack won’t split damage with the walls

[arctic garnet]

The new sweetbread looks like an adorable cupcake, I love it.

[merry pebble]

Its ID is indeed VikingCupcake

[sharp owl]

for some reason I continuously keep pulling out my weapon with no shield equipped. How do I make this permanent to have 1h always with the shield? Do I need to put the shield on the hotbar as well?

[merry pebble]

Easiest is indeed to have it in the hotbar 🙂 its a standalone item so you need to equip it the same way as a weapon

[tacit crystal]

It's great hat for Rocky.

[sharp owl]

I see, thought there might be a way to do it without "wasting" a hotbar slot.

[arctic garnet]

We just did that with our Rocky a few minutes ago :^)

[arctic garnet]

skol moment

[merry pebble]

Not without mods afaik

[sharp owl]

I was just about to type smth about that, so here goes:

[paper marsh]

You can equip sword. Then equip shield. Then press r to put them away. Pressing r again will pull both out

Otherwise have them in your hot bar yea

[merry pebble]

If its about mods then it would probably be better to go to #mods-discussion 😄

[gloomy hull]

my raid got bugged lol
raided by nothing but air

[sharp owl]

can I remap the hotkeys for 1-9 with bepin itself or would I need a designated hotbar mod? I know this is maybe outta place here, but I'm not going to deep dive into modding.

[haughty geode]

to sum up, I spent 3-4 days digging one copper depositm, I got about 4 stacks from it, which is only 2 stacks of bronze, which is ... 6 different items without upgrades... RoI is kinda grindy

[flat stag]

found a 2 star boar just on the other side of the water, near my base - any tips on how to transport it over water?
