[neat python]

i got wisp and resounding shackle

[craggy gazelle]

Help 😭

[hard sluice]

the wisp is an acessory. it shares the slot for the belt and the wishbone

[neat python]

oh... so your saving this whole run iv been hand capping myself....

[hard sluice]

better to learn late than never..! : P

[neat python]

yep now off to hell ashlands i guess

any tips other then not to use wood?

[hard sluice]

gl hf !

[gray sand]

You can have only 1 equipped at a time. You can activate multiple if you swap between them./

[hard sluice]

you can use wood, if you build that new item that was unlocked with the queens loot

[neat python]

i tought wood burns there

[hard sluice]

ive been playing the whole game with fire hazard on, and its manageable.

[gray sand]

Simple example is how Bronze Pendant lasts an entire minute.
So you could proc it, swap to something else, proc that, then switch back to keep both buffs running.

[hard sluice]

wood can catch on fire and the fire can spread.
use 'repair' to extinguish it

[sharp owl]

the idea with the markers is quite good. Btw I'm trying to kill a bounty Skeleton but I'm standing right on top of the marked spot with nothing in sight. I also checked if it's maybe in a cave below. There is really no cave entrance anywhere nearby.

[neat python]

does shield core pervernt enemys from entering area like with the traders?

[paper marsh]

No. It pretty much just blocks ranged attacks

[neat python]

is there any item that deos that?

to protect my farms?

or just a wall of dirt?

[paper marsh]

Any ranged projectile hitting the shield will be destroyed, and the shield suppreses spawns, protects against rain, and allows crops to grow despite being in ashlands. I think

Nothing scares enemies off like the trader domes

Yeah a terrain wall or moat is the best bet for keeping enemies out

Those do work very well though

[neat python]

so i only need spikes now for flying raids....

[paper marsh]

Spikes and Ballistas

[neat python]

aare ballistas auto?

or do i have to use them?

[pure mulch]

anyone know if there is a mod that lets me replace the soundtrack with frieren's soundtrack?

[neat python]

prob but maybe (idk peob talking out of my A) but removing sound files then inserting your own maybe?

[paper marsh]

Automatic. Do require that you give them a stack of ammo tho

Although by default they target EVERYTHING (that includes you)

If you interact with a trophy it will only target that specific mob. So like if you want it to kill Gjall, interact with a Gjall trophy

[neat python]

do gjall raid.......

that silance is scaring me

[paper marsh]

They do, though most don't experience that raid. Spawns 2 Gjall at a time

Unlocks after killing yag, disables after killing queen. But it only occurs in mistlands, and a lot of people don't make bases there

[neat python]

oh thank god...

i remember my 1st play tough was tough i was solo and made it to listland before quiting years ago

i since learned about world mods u can turn on... spend up alot of progress and annoying stuff

so sinve i defeated hte queen what sky raids do i have to worry about

[trim hatch]

how do i unlock the spooky raid, i need that ghost head

[paper marsh]

Only one is bats

Assuming you've killed both bonemass and at least one bat on your world

[neat python]

there bat thorys?

[paper marsh]

Need to kill bonemass. Bonemass unlocks so many raids though, gonna be a toss of the dice if you'll get spooky

[neat python]

every boss dead other hten ashlands

[trim hatch]

ive just been getting assailed by greydwarves so far its getting stale

[fossil delta]

As you progress the night time spawns in the

Meadows becomes more and more fun.

[paper marsh]

Gotta keep progressing to get more fun raids

[trim hatch]

yeah i just been grinding the early areas

soon ill kill the elder and then head to build a new house in the mountains biome

after that, the plains

and after that, uh, whatever is after the mistlands, im not building in the mistlands fuck that place

[fossil delta]

When are you going to do the swamps?

[trim hatch]

after the elder lol

but i dont wanna build in the swamps

[paper marsh]

aw I love the mistlands

[fossil delta]

Just making sure, since you said beat Elder, then mountains.

[trim hatch]

id like to make several bases as i advance in the playtrough

with the new building things i unlock

i already got a meadows/dark forest base

though the mountains is a very short area ngl

[neat python]

everyone know the ocean is the shortest area

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I just don't like moving everything, or gathering everything to build yet another set.

[trim hatch]

well my meadows base is pretty small

[fossil delta]

So I keep my first main base as my main base, then just make a series of comfortable, but small, bases.

[trim hatch]

eventually it will culminate into a mega final base with every building block

thinking about building said thing in the plains

castle...

im not that good at building so it wont be amazing

but ill try

[fossil delta]

I don't build anything super big anymore. It kind of hit me, eventually, how much time I was spending running from one area to another. So now I do one big central area.

[trim hatch]

i posted my first base in build screenshots if u wanna see

[trim hatch]

i just want something i can look back to later on

like when i beat the game and i find my old save years later and im like wow, i remember when i lived here

and that repeats to all the other bases

[craggy gazelle]

How do I keep my fire from going out when it rains if I have fire spreads on? Most of my playthroughs have been without fire spreads and im starting a hardcore.

[trim hatch]

tall enough roof

[craggy gazelle]

Fair enough

[neat python]

https://i.imgur.com/o8sZ0EB.png time for ashlands

[fossil delta]

When it rains? That usually happens when I do not have the fire protected well enough, and the rain can angle its way in.

[paper marsh]

Same as without fire spread

Just make your chimney / roof covering the fire supported by walls that aren't directly next to the fire

[trim hatch]

do u even need a fire near in the ashlands

im sure the place is hot enough

uncomfortably hot, probably need a cooler

[fossil delta]

You do in structures where you want a comfort level.

[trim hatch]

why is your pfp just a house, whats the lore here

[neat python]

its a haunted house so he is the house

[paper marsh]

House Robert

[paper marsh]

Honestly, the ashlands doesn't feel all that firery. It gets cold at night, you don't get rested even near the hottest parts, barely any enemies do fire damage

[fossil delta]

Only 2 even comes to mind, aside from the boss.

But boy, do they burn you. If you don't have the fire mead going.

Of course, the biome itself loves to try to set you on fire. Or toss you into its warm embrace.

[paper marsh]

Yeah. I feel it on hard mode with root harnesk. 225% fire damage hurts

Luckily fire is very slow, rare, and dodgeable in this biome

[neat python]

man i feel like my world seed is cursed

no black forest in miles in pure ocean..... black forest biamo

[fossil delta]

Thats normal, being on water, and it tells you your in a biome you don't even see.

[neat python]

so its not cursed well it its own way?

[fossil delta]

I call it irritating. Very irritating. 😄

[oblique zinc]

Idk how some people do no map no portal run. We are doing no map and got lost by going down wrong side of the mountain, then ran one way along the shore, got lost again, decided to go inland, got lost. Had to make a makeshift shelter to spend a night and rest then after 2 days of running finally found familiar area and made it home.

[fossil delta]

I get lost even with maps, so thats something I will never do.

[oblique zinc]

I tried looking at the tree in the sky and only confused myself more. Lesson learned - make no name portal at the base and bring portal on you.

[paper marsh]

Definitely gets confusing if you don't take the time to make roads, lighthouses, draw a map, etc.

Worst thing is when you get sailing and get lost and now it's gonna take a full day IRL travelling aimlessly until you find something you recognize

[oblique zinc]

Yes, I think we decided to put bonfires along the shore in key locations. Even in the swamps I make a point of creating path using torches and put torches on the crypts that are cleared

[fossil delta]

I already spend about 500 game days playing a given play through. If I tried a no map I'd probably spend a 1,000 days or more. No thanks.

[oblique zinc]

We are on day 190 and just killed bonemass

[fossil delta]

I spend most of my time in the plains and later.

[paper marsh]

I kinda miss fighting bonemass

I've been skipping him the last 1-2 years because I don't like the half a dozen raids he triggers

[oblique zinc]

We are doing mods so way more content. Makes it worth exploring

[oblique zinc]

The trophy looks nice for decoration

[paper marsh]

Well that and his power being OP

Seems a lot better after the rebalnce tho

[paper marsh]

Yeah, been considering killing him on a seperate world

[fossil delta]

Heh, and I beat bonemass because I like all the raids.

[paper marsh]

ugh fighting bats and skellies when I'm on Ashlands progression just gets awful boring to me

Compounded by being on max raid rate it's just a snooze fest

[oblique zinc]

With the mods we have there's a mead that prevents bats from attacking...

[fossil delta]

I just play standard. I'll do all that extra stuff once I start using mods after 1.0.

There is one over haul mod I am really looking forward to.

[oblique zinc]

As much as I like vanilla graphics I can't wait for HD 2.0 one. Im just going to find picturesque points and sit there gawking

[fossil delta]

Yeah, with how good it can look with its native graphics, I am looking forward to some graphics mods as well.

[haughty geode]

there's a small patch of plains near meadow-swamp transition and somehow it was lucky neough to have deathsquito 🙁

[fossil delta]

I think they made it a requirement to get greeted by them.

[oblique zinc]

Love skitters, they are cute. All you need is some root armor and perfect timing for club uppercut

[fossil delta]

I prefer the sword. It seems to have a little more reach.

[oblique zinc]

They should have them in the swamp. I don't see many mosquitoes in the plains/desert area

[oblique zinc]

Atgeir at that point

[fossil delta]

Thats one weapon I still can't stand to use. I've spent hours trying to get used to it.

[oblique zinc]

There were couple times where I was able to successfully harpoon one and jump on it's back and then it takes you waaaaay up. Just dying from falling is no fun

[fossil delta]

Just make sure you have over 100 HP.

Thats max damage from a fall.

[abstract warren]

I made a mistake...

Turned the Dvergr settlement against me

[fossil delta]

Uh oh.

[oblique zinc]

Throw coins at them maybe they'll accept you again

[fossil delta]

I hope they don't have any starred mages among them.

Especially fire mages. Getting hit by that fireball makes it seem like the world is ending.

[abstract warren]

Nvm killed them all

[oblique zinc]

Can you parry the fireball like arrows ?

[fossil delta]

No, its an AoE.

[abstract warren]

New problem: Gjall and seeker soldier both chasing me

How tf to deal with them

[fossil delta]

At the same time? Lots of moving.

[oblique zinc]

Shoot gjall at his sack. Watch out for ticks

Just climb up away from soldier

[abstract warren]

Damn

Ok I guess it's time to switch from Atgeir to something else

[fossil delta]

Go high so you only have to deal with the gjall. Until a swarm of seekers show up.

Times like this is why I have the Lightfoot mead, the running mead, and stamina meads on me.

As well as Fire Wine.

[abstract warren]

Right

[worn steeple]

And a tonic for the nerves. Specially if you do this early-game in troll-armor 😅

[neat python]

jesus findind land in ashlands is annoying holy

[fossil delta]

Try going in at the center. I've found land pretty quickly every time I went in there. Which has been only twice, out of 4 times.

[neat python]

doesnt help wind isnt helping at all

[fossil delta]

I don't use the sail while trying to go through all those rocks.

[neat python]

i figoured but i mean getting to the area to the center

[fossil delta]

Ah, yeah, thats when I always wished I thought to go get the Moder power. 😄

[abstract warren]

The sack is the lower part?

[glad schooner]

it usually is

[fossil delta]

The belly area on the Gjall. The tail section on soldiers takes extra damage too.

[abstract warren]

How tf to get ticks off my back

[glad schooner]

if you can find a good crevice to fight from, the gjall will have trouble hitting you

[fossil delta]

dodge roll. I use a sledge hammer.

[abstract warren]

Killed the bastard at last

[fossil delta]

Its why I prefer a sledge hammer. I get directly to killing them.

[trim hatch]

how long does fermenting take for mead

[fossil delta]

Usually 2 game days, I think. Its not something I pay attention to.

Its either done, or it isn't.

[sharp owl]

can you check the bounties while not being at the trader? I mean the ones you have already accepted?

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure she only cares about which chest you have brought back.

[sharp owl]

I haven't played in a very long time, but the first bounty target simply wasn't there. Seems the second one is either also not there, or I'm not sure if I already killed it.

[trim hatch]

i just forgot to make the fermenter until now and im heading to the elder then swamp so i gotta wait

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I always get two up and running. There are some meads I practically live off of. Fire Wine being one of them.

[trim hatch]

im jus makin some health pots

[fossil delta]

I use those too. I just don't need nearly as many.

[idle storm]

if there's a patch between when you accepted the bounties and when you went to look for them their positions have likely changed. Delete the map markers and go interact with Hildir's map table again to get updated locations.

[neat python]

LAND HO! ashlands

how much stronger is ash wood vs normal wood for building?

i found a cave is this the boss? https://i.imgur.com/rAZdT0t.png

[idle storm]

it's the exact same stability as normal wood

[neat python]

no basically no reason to build with it other thent o style thanks

[idle storm]

it's resistant to fire and doesn't burn if you have fire hazards on

but otherwise just for looks, yes

[haughty geode]

do lox have some kind of frenzy mechanic?
for some time I saw 2 of them beaing calm, and now every time I go past them there are drops on the ground

finding spear-throwing fuling for the first time isn't fun. also he had 1 star. double unfun...

[trim hatch]

aw man, i really love how these big shields look... but parrying is just so fun

it makes the combat so much more engaging

[neat python]

looks like the island i landed on is empty.,...

[tacit crystal]

Round shields parry well too.

[trim hatch]

yeah but i cant decorate those

and the bigger the better

for now im in the bronze buckler

[tacit crystal]

With round shields I meant regular shields with 1,5x parry bonus.

There will be round shields with option to change patterns during many next biomes.

[neat python]

https://i.imgur.com/zsfXrzH.png

looks like island has nothing?

[idle storm]

you went in on the sides? The ashlands on the edges are usually pretty bare

[neat python]

i kept a eye out towards the middle too

it was a small island

[idle storm]

you generally get one big ashlands in the middle and 2-3 small ones to the side

[neat python]

i come from the side

its prob ont he marker i got from a cave

[idle storm]

the mysterious location?

[neat python]

yea

[idle storm]

those are on the smaller side islands sometimes

[neat python]

i mean wheres its taking me

[idle storm]

also maybe 2-3 fortresses on the bigger ones

[neat python]

fortess? o lord

[idle storm]

it's where the good loot is

[neat python]

im guessing heavly guarded

[idle storm]

well yeah

but the doors only open if you break them open

[neat python]

odds of death high for noobs?

[idle storm]

so you can just lob fireballs over the walls until it's free for the taking

[trim hatch]

holy shit i just got a mythical tale

[idle storm]

if you try to take one head-on

[neat python]

well im not doing magic this run.....

[idle storm]

arrows work too

[neat python]

bolts?

[idle storm]

sure

[neat python]

sniping platofmr it is

[trim hatch]

i was heading to fight the elder but on my way there i realized i had forgotten to bring portal items, so i turned around in a rush and that made my boat get stuck on land, but i ran to my base and got the materials, when i got back, i didnt know how to push my boat back into water, and then a greydwarf and a boar came and they both helped push the boat back into the water... my goats bro...

[idle storm]

that is how most people do it

[trim hatch]

typa shit you read on norse mithology books

[neat python]

whats best amount of chickens for most effient egg farm>

[hardy gorge]

you fell low if boars and greydwarfs are helping you

[trim hatch]

youre just jealous

[hardy gorge]

not rly, im way worse than you! Yestrday i managed to flip my boat upside down. It got destroyed in the proces and i lost the mats

[tepid prawn]

don't judge, its not like getting a troll to mine for you but its still a great experience imo, I also had a bunch of draugs and leeches kill a 2 star troll for me, was so fun

[trim hatch]

lad capsized his ship

[hardy gorge]

i get you, but getting in a situation where a boar and a greydrwaft are helping you is funny

[hardy gorge]

i didnt even know it was posible to do that. i was laughing so hard

[trim hatch]

finally found haldor

got my hands on the legendary megingjord and a fishing rod

and i caught 3 fish!

do fish respawn? my house is on a lake i dont want my pond to be empty

[tepid prawn]

amazing find, I just play on servers these days so no trouble, someone will find everything haha

[tepid prawn]

yes they respawn but a pond, that depends on size and if its near an invisible fish spawner, its complicated, fish spawn mechanics

[hardy gorge]

they do! there is also different bait for different fish, make sure u use the right one for your biome

[trim hatch]

i mean its a lake i just said pond

one of those bodies of water that extend all across the land

[tepid prawn]

I also don't know if workstations block fish spawns or not, and their radius increases with higher level, but if pond big enough and spawners for fish are placed in a lucky way they should respawn, it takes quite long afaik though for them to respawn

things like flint respawn too, but its not quick

[trim hatch]

damn

well i guess they can spawn further up or down the river then maybe make their way to me

hey if i catch a fish then release it does it come back to life?

cuz it would be nice to actually make an aquarium

[hardy gorge]

it does!

[tepid prawn]

if there is a river yes that could work but not sure how far they travel, but they do swim around a bit

[tepid prawn]

you can also catch and release as many times as you want, and if you "fully" reel it in, you have a chance of extra drops each time, for some fish from the 3rd biome etc you can get really nice things earlier then boss progression gets you that item!

[trim hatch]

fish 2 fish for the price of 1 fish

[tepid prawn]

SO you can get stuff that you have be creative to get some of, or if you have enough of the correct bait, you can get something cool from the third biome way before you kill the second boss that "unlocks" the special things in the third biome, if that makes sense

also some fish from 2nd biome unlocks a really cool mead recipe if you have found the 3rd biome trader

[trim hatch]

i have a buncha troll heads i can craft the right bait

still gotta beat the elder tho

im gonna miss this place...

[haughty geode]

I was sailing along plains shore in the night, and saw some hooded siloughette near the water
was like "oh, what's that statue?"
second later it vanishes into the smoke...

[open bolt]

Odin 👍

[trim hatch]

wish i could post screenshots of the game without a how long timer

i just wanna share

[candid basalt]

Odin is a creepy mf

[tepid prawn]

Black Forest has some of the best ligthing, but even 3rd biome its great sometimes but not that often, 4th biome dusk and dawn is great, and 6th biome lighting in some areas is spectacular and maybe even rivals the black forest in some way sometimes

[neat python]

man why did my ship get stuck with cloest thing of land had a army of burning skeles with 1 of them being a 2 star

[hardy gorge]

Theres a screen shot chanel you could post it to

[trim hatch]

with like a 20 minute cooldown

atp id rather nothing

[hardy gorge]

Atp? Like tenis?

[thorny lake]

Man it would be cool if we could customize our own banner and shield designs

[thorny lake]

Atp = At that point

[trim hatch]

suposse im stupid and below average iq

how am i supossed to find out there is a swamp biome

they key's hint is literally just "uh idk it smells bad"

maybe ill think of just going to the black forest to find something

maybe the black forest could be considered swampy enough

i feel like the game shoulda had a slightly bigger nudge for that kinda player

so that they dont gotta resort to googling it

also wow this boss was so easy i did not remember it being this easy

[hardy gorge]

Seeing you erite about the early game makes me wanna start a new world

[tepid prawn]

The Elder is imo quite easy especially if you good at its melee fight or good with the pillars and fire arrows

[tepid prawn]

eventually people will learn, explore biome and loot lots of things, craft etc, prepare for boss, unlock something you need in next biome, continue until you have defeated biome boss 7

[trim hatch]

yessssss i managed to drag the snake into the shore with no harpoon

no trophy though, just scales

[thorny lake]

Game encourages you to explore ig, doing this you’ll eventually stumble upon it

[trim hatch]

sweet sweet scales

cant use em yet but i have em

and some nice meat

boating back home rn

[tepid prawn]

that meat is super useful

[hardy gorge]

you dont need to drag it to the shore. get it low so it takes one bow shot to kill, then jump on his head as you shoot your last shot and you can get a trophy that way

[tepid prawn]

thats for advanced players, takes a little bit to learn to do it reliably, instead of missing the shot and that get bitten by the serpent

[trim hatch]

wish there were more sea monsters to hunt

[tepid prawn]

and you need to ensure you have weight to pick up everything and inventory space for it

[tepid prawn]

I like the sea how it is, sailing is relaxing to me haha

[hardy gorge]

its really not that hard to do and serpent goes for the boat most of the times if u miss

[trim hatch]

im boating trough a tight river rn

i like this

[tepid prawn]

Karve is great for rivers

[hardy gorge]

its great but i feel like they should add a lot more to it, like sailing skill and stuff

[tepid prawn]

Sailing skill would be great, maybe it will come with 1.0

[hardy gorge]

boating is a big part of the game and they did so little to it

[trim hatch]

no pet rock sadly

[trim hatch]

what would it even do

[tepid prawn]

learned something recently, if you find a particular meadows area and it has 1 pet rock, there will be 2 more, its always 3 in that nearby area of that biome

[trim hatch]

i found 0

[tepid prawn]

less wind penalty like a smaller no wind angle or maybe speed increase with the same amount of wind

[hardy gorge]

theres a sailing mod that i like. your boat is faster and has more HP the bigger skill you get. Your scouting radius also increses which i like. because sometimes you can see the island but it doesnt show up on the map and i think thats lame

[hardy gorge]

pet rock is really hard to find

[trim hatch]

yeah i kinda stopped looking after a while

hopefully ill find the witch in this swamp near my starting area

and i can make that meadows and dark forest platter

😋

[hardy gorge]

not to be the party pooper but you prolly wont find it. it usually spawns further from your starting island

[neat python]

me building my teleporter for main ashland island..... army raid....

[trim hatch]

how further

[hardy gorge]

between 3 and 8k meeters from spwan

[wary kettle]

I just beat bonemass and I’m almost ready to take on the next biome. But first, I gotta build a sick stone house for vibes

[hardy gorge]

usually 1 island away from the main one. it can spawn on the starting island but the island needs to be big

[lunar lantern]

Do creatures have a priority list of which base buldings they want to attack first?

It do feels like Trolls always Bee-line (pun intended) for my bees. 😭

[hardy gorge]

theres a site you can use where you put in your seed and it shows you where traders are, if u dont feel like thats cheating

[tepid prawn]

Tamed creatures are also high priority targets

[lunar lantern]

Yeah, Drakes, Bats and Spirits are real douchebags about that too, but I was directly asking about base buildings.

[trim hatch]

is there any way to turn off hud

[hardy gorge]

ctrl + f3

[trim hatch]

i dont understand how to fish man

i reel the fish, sometimes it just doesnt wanna reel

and its close enough to grab but it doesnt let me?

oh my god fishing is so buggy i just got flung across the river

am i supossed to walk backwards while im reeling so i can force the fish into land?

thats what i do, thats what works for me

[haughty geode]

that works? it didn't for me and fish would get stuck in the water no matter how far I go

[trim hatch]

this gotta be a 3 star fish, i cannot pull him for the life of me

[haughty geode]

if cooking fish wasn't locked after later biom, I would be fishing from the boat in the ocean

[trim hatch]

it was a 2 god damn

[haughty geode]

does it look like it could swallow you?

[trim hatch]

i had to drag him into the shore

[hardy gorge]

wait till you see a level5 😄

[candid basalt]

I make a dock with a roof ramp into the water so it’s easier to walk them back. So much troll fish and pike that way

[red coral]

Hi everybody

I'm new here

But just like you, I am naked and need help getting my stuff back from the swamp

[trim hatch]

IT GOES THAT FAR UP?????

[tough mulch]

yep

a lvl5 is something else

I dont recommend turning it into food and just use it for decor instead

[red coral]

Eat all the stamina food and hotkey a stamina potion, drink it just as your stam bar runs out

[trim hatch]

yeah i will if i ever see one of those

[red coral]

And then wait 2 whole minutes before trying again

[trim hatch]

i barely just beat the elder so i dont htink i have the stamina for one of those

fishing is on 7 rn

[red coral]

First time I fought the elder I accidentally summoned two

That forest got flat quick

I'm up to mistlands and I still don't think I've gone through the batch of core wood I picked up

[trim hatch]

yeah im just catching lvl 1s and 2s rn

gonna stock up a bit so i can actually use the fish food

no idea it existed first time playn

[hardy gorge]

ill put a screenshot of it in that chanel

[tacit crystal]

5 quality fish indeed is something else, you cannot even spawn fish with that amount of quality with console commands.

[red coral]

I always wonder how many level 5 fish I've sailed over without noticing because I wasn't fishing

[trim hatch]

"caught a perch and amber" what,... theres treasures too

[hardy gorge]

they are very rare, ive only seen 1 and i spent a lot of time fishin

[red coral]

Yeah each species has a potential thing they've swallowed

[trim hatch]

wow...

[tacit crystal]

Pulling them to shore and picking up works, but main idea is that you better stop reeling when the fish struggles/shakes, since it drain much more stamina. They cannot pull the line any longer so you can pause at any time with no stamina cost (but no regen either).

[red coral]

Sometimes I sit there wondering wtf I'm gonna do with 1 flint

[trim hatch]

"lost a catch" no i did fucking not. i grabbed that mf mid air

[tacit crystal]

Latest 5 quality I got was Anglerfish.

[red coral]

That thing would eat you first

[trim hatch]

fish fear me

[tacit crystal]

I have gotten 7 out of 12 of all fish with quality 5.

[hardy gorge]

that mustve been hard to reel in

[trim hatch]

i thought if i stop reeling it leaves

[red coral]

Tetra?

[tacit crystal]

It would have, but I used Karve trick.

[tacit crystal]

No tetra sadly.

[foggy glacier]

I've never seen anything bigger than an R2 Tetra.

[hardy gorge]

a karve trick?

[trim hatch]

this has to be a lvl3, i cant pull him

[tacit crystal]

Perch, pike, trollfish, pufferfish, grouper, tuna and anglerfish.

[red coral]

Apparently they happen. Heard of someone who built a portal and checked the cave first thing after waking up every day

[trim hatch]

what does it mean when the fish is shaking around

[foggy glacier]

That's when it's struggling. Stop reeeling in then

[red coral]

Remember the luring distance is actually quite large if you're patient. If you can see the fish, just plop the bait in about 7m from yourself, they'll wander over eventually

[trim hatch]

no after it releases, it shakes on the water

[red coral]

It means shorter reeling time

[foggy glacier]

just issues with the AI.

Always happens when you lose a fish.

[red coral]

Freedom dance

Remember to let your stam bar refill before casting again, in case you get a quick hit

[foggy glacier]

A little cheesy trick: if you run out of stam and lose the fish, leave your line in the water. Sometimes it'll bite again in the same spot you lost it.

[hardy gorge]

whats a karve trick?

[tacit crystal]

Cast the bait, sit on Karve where you steer and reel until you have 1-2m, start reeling when fish catches.

[trim hatch]

oh my god this fish was literally right next to the shore and i still lost him

im so washed bro

[frozen fable]

You can run and grab it I think

[foggy glacier]

Other thing you can do is drag them on shore. Then you pick them up when you lose them.

[trim hatch]

yeah but it never reached the shore

[red coral]

Reeling in = fishing exp up

[hardy gorge]

call boars and greydwarfs to help you!

[foggy glacier]

just be careful not to let the line break.

[trim hatch]

so i couldnt

[red coral]

You don't have to hook fish to get your level up

Just keep casting and reeling in

Just fn yeeeeeeet that thing out into the ocean, maybe you'll hook a fish but probably not. Exp anyway

[trim hatch]

draining all my stamina in a milisecond

[foggy glacier]

Fishing skill doubles when you have a fish on. Catch perch.

[red coral]

Are you wet? Get rested bonus too

[foggy glacier]

My trick is to always cast as far as I can, then reel in to between 7 and 13 m. Wait for the fish there.

[haughty geode]

why cast far then?

[red coral]

Little bit of extra exp

[foggy glacier]

practice reeling in, like you said. Free practice.

I'll sometimes go sit on shore in my meadows and haul in perch and pike from 23m just for the exp.

[trim hatch]

GOT HIM I GOT THE 3

[red coral]

Early game your rested bonus won't be lasting long. Go back to camp and sleep, come back fresh. Stamina will be far more manageable

[trim hatch]

LVL3 pike

[foggy glacier]

The other thing to remember is that fish are in the 'struggling' state as soon as you hook them, even if you don't see the animation. When you hook a fish, wait 4-5 seconds then start reeling.

[red coral]

Now throw him back. Sustainable fishing practices

[foggy glacier]

Throw him in a koi pond in your base.

[trim hatch]

AND A LEVEL 3 PERCH

[red coral]

Throw him at a greydwarf, see how they like it

[trim hatch]

these fishes are never gonna see the light of day again

[red coral]

Throw him into the sun, so ALL he sees is the light of day

[trim hatch]

into the fish chest they go

[red coral]

They stack based on size, you're gonna end up needing multiple chests over time

[trim hatch]

okay im going to bed but i managed to catch:
perch: 6lv1 5lv2 1lv3
pike: 8lv1 3lv2 1lv3

[red coral]

I recommend early game having a second chest just for your biggest one of each species

[trim hatch]

the meadows fish chest

Question:

Do iron scraps randomly spawn in the swamp?

[tough mulch]

you mean... iron piles? you can find them above ground yes

[red coral]

Because I was doing a run today, from chest to chest

And on my way back there were just 3 random iron scraps there

That DEFINTIELY weren't there 2 mins ago

[red coral]

Nope. Actual just random iron scraps laying there

Not even together. Just nearby to each other and sparkling and auto-pickable

[idle storm]

they can fall out of dungeons when iron scraps clip through the walls

[red coral]

Ong yes okay

That has to be it

[trim hatch]

gn gamers

[idle storm]

pretty common, you can usually pick up a small handful after finishing one and coming back out

[red coral]

N

[tough mulch]

cya

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, it is known bug since 2024 after Unity engine update before Ashlands.

[red coral]

Yeah it makes perfect sense

I had just finished a crypt and was hauling the iron to the next crypt

Is the best source of soft flesh always going to be giant skulls?

[tough mulch]

well... killing dvgrs is an option

[wild schooner]

Is Staff of Protection good?

[tacit crystal]

It's the one that grants most of it. Tissue drops sometimes from dvergr upon death and their camps have boxes that also contain the same stuff.

[tough mulch]

yes, its considered broken

[red coral]

Those tweakers?

[tough mulch]

the dwarfs

[tacit crystal]

It's BiS for magic users.

[red coral]

Yeah the jittery drug addict guys

Bzzzzzz

Always vibrating like they just took a hit

[tough mulch]

are your dvgers good bro?

I dont think I've seen mine tweak before

[red coral]

I mean, they aren't hurting anybody except themselves

[tough mulch]

until you hit them by accident

[red coral]

It's not like they have much to look forward to anyway

I am 100% guaranteed to kite a gjall into your house if your house is in the mistlands

It's your own fault for picking dodgy real estate

[tough mulch]

so true

the gjall will move island to island just to sht on me, me and gjalls are on sight

[red coral]

Plus, at a distance, that looked like a house full of hares. It's not my fault you're short and wear black

Arbelest through the window, splatting sound, oh sorry was that your uncles

[red coral]

I took a really beautiful screenshot today and a gjall appeared while I was tabbed out and admiring it

[tough mulch]

the screenshot was so good even the gjall came over just to see it

[red coral]

I thought "ah this is so nice, I'll go take another one" and tabbed back over to find everything on fire

[hardy gorge]

you shoulve taken another one and made a before/after photo 😄

[red coral]

That's what they said in the reddit thread but I was too busy trying to be less on fire and also rescue my extractors

Gjalls are the reason I finally gave up my root harnesk

I fought yagluth in that thing

It has been with me through thick and thin

[foggy glacier]

Gjall are one of the reasons I live in my fenris set.

[paper marsh]

Damn really?

[red coral]

They're otherwise quite easy but they certainly sneak up on you

[paper marsh]

I could never give up 3 armor slots to combat a gjall

Usually I just take a dip in water before fighting them

[wild schooner]

I just shoot them with the arbalest until they're dead

[paper marsh]

I used to do that but spears are just too fun and quick to kill them with

[hardy gorge]

You toss spears at them?

[red coral]

More like arba BEST

Amirite?

You guys

Amirite

[paper marsh]

Yea. Sitting underneath them chucking 1-2 spears into their underbelly and instantly picking the spear back up as it falls down on you to throw again chunks them fast

Probably not faster than a bow considering how OP they are, but very nice

[sharp owl]

There are these 2 bears in my swamp, who take tuns tanking for me. It's a bit like WoW but significantly more fun.

[wild schooner]

Building with stone, marble, and grausten is a nightmare

Keeps collapsing all the time, so I need like 3000 beams and pillars for support to get one single stone floor to not collapse

[mint parrot]

is the deepnorth just going to be a Biom?

[sharp owl]

What's the actual upside? looks and structure hp?

[wild schooner]

Building with stone?

[sharp owl]

yes

[wild schooner]

It can take more punishment, compared to normal wood.

[abstract warren]

Any reason as to why we don't keep our rested bonus and other buffs after relog?

[sharp owl]

but in terms of wood. Wood = Wood hpwise? There is no difference between like crapwood and Corewood etc, right?

[idle storm]

ashwood is resistant to fire and doesn't burn and corewood has higher stability than other woods

[strange cradle]

That's why you can build higher with corewood.

[sharp owl]

The part where you have to remember to check all the buildings for Honey to make mead later on can really nip you in the butt harshly.

I haven't played since before MIstlands was released. I should have simply gone on land whenever I spotted a village, so I wouldn't have a massive problem with a mead pipeline.

[abstract warren]

What is "åttet"? Dvergr always say it

[wild schooner]

I don't know, I tried translating it into Swedish though it only said "Ätit", which means "eaten"

[sharp owl]

where do you make sausages? I can still remember them being from Entrails but I can see the recipe anywhere.

[wild schooner]

You need couldron lv2

4 Entrails
1 Boar Meat
1 Thistle

[sharp owl]

I see, thanks. They should still show you the recipe imo and simply keep it grey with the remark for Cauldron lvl 2.

[lone rampart]

Norwegian for “eight” but I don’t know the greater context

[wild schooner]

Also I believe Dvergr say "Åtett" and not "Åttet", if I'm not wrong?

[sharp owl]

is anyone of you using PlantEasily or MassFarming?

[wet kestrel]

Seeking someone to join my on my personal world i built 🙂 Just killed Dragon and would love someone to continue with. Im a building adict and have built quite a few bases with portal to make things a bit more simple..

[wild schooner]

How much of a difference does the Eitr-weave set do to Eitr regeneration?

I tried regenerating with and without the Eitr-weave and didn't find that much of a difference.

[foggy glacier]

Try asking in #mods-discussion

[sharp owl]

already did. Forgot about that channel.

[near furnace]

it's a nonsence word 😉

[foggy glacier]

You might find someone in #1024264966712340510

[wet kestrel]

Tried... no response 2 days 🙁

built quite a lot up to goblin (skeleton bos) but wana do it with someone kinda no fun alone (thoo i love to build)

[foggy glacier]

It should double your regen.

[wild schooner]

I got 100%+ Eitr regeneration however I didn't notice much of a difference

[foggy glacier]

Eitr regen is usually pretty fast anyway. You might notice a bigger difference when your max Eitr is higher

[chrome badge]

I find people get more responses when starting a fresh world. Solo can be very fun! Take your time and enjoy the peace, because other players can really change how you play.

[wild schooner]

I ate Stuffed mushroom, Seeker aspic, and Yggdrasil porridge, which gave me 240 max Eitr

[wet kestrel]

Solo can be fun, but i find it more enjoyable when you conqure something toghter 🙂

[foggy glacier]

The other thing is that positive bonuses are additive, meaning you get +100% from being rested and just another +100% from the set. They dont' multiply on one another.

[wet kestrel]

Started over already, not really after that sadly 🙁

[subtle pawn]

that's the sad part when nobody wants to play the same game as you, i just accepted that playing solo valheim is the way for me

[abstract warren]

Right yes

[subtle pawn]

but i am still sending some screenshots from my world to my friends😅

maybe someday somehow

[abstract warren]

I want the Dvergr component crate but there are so many of them around it 🫠

[pliant hatch]

Then cheese it.

There are several ways to get that item and some don't require you to fight them or even anything at all.

[wet kestrel]

Ive got some very impressive builds 🙂

to toot my own horn lol

[abstract warren]

Nah I don't like exploits

I managed to take it and run

[pliant hatch]

So you ran through the plains not using the Root Armor?
Or didn't use the root mask when fighting in the swamp?

[steel mica]

If you have feather cape and the dvergr component crate is located at the top of the settlement, you could just grab it and dip to a high place

[abstract warren]

Yeah it was at the top but I sorta just jumped down and bolted

[sharp owl]

does cultivating simultaneously level the ground as well?

[abstract warren]

I got a few of them at first with my Atgeir spin attack

[steel mica]

No

Only level ground and stone paths level it

[merry pebble]

Kinda, it levels it the almost the same way as if you hold shift with hoe
Not sure if if to the same height as it tho

[steel mica]

Wait mo @sharp owl It does but not as much as the level ground and stone path

[sharp owl]

Wasn't there a bullet proof way with placing structures to 100% get the ground leveled?

[merry pebble]

Structures dont affect how you level the ground, with normal level ground using hoe you level the ground to the level at which the ground already is directly beneath player character. And when using shift with hoe you level it to the height of a point you are currently looking at with the crosshair.

[gray sand]

Yeah, use stone floors because they are thick enough to account for the couple pixel difference.

Level. 😁

[sharp owl]

yeah in theory, yes. but you always have these special spots. I even hightened the ground and peeled it off with a pickaxe again, just doesn't get flat.

[merry pebble]

Never really had that issue myself 🤔

But you probably could be at the bottom (or top) of the ground modification limit

[uncut creek]

yoo guys

i have a question

[green reef]

I often laydown stone block floor, or raise my wood structure up at least a meter to avoid worrying about the ground as much

[uncut creek]

when the achievments will be added on steam people who have done it already will get it or we just have to play the game again to obtain it?

[gray sand]

One would hope the latter.

[bitter juniper]

So whats the general community sentiment on Ashlands now? Did the dev ever make many changes to it? I know I legit never finished it because it was just not fun to me and turned Valheim from a survival game with frequent combat to a horde game.

[gray sand]

What do you mean they never finished it?

[paper marsh]

I'd say most likely you don't automatically get (most) of the achievements, but if you have a world pretty far along you might get a few / get them very easily when interacting with certain things. Where's the fun in that though?

[gray sand]

They release it, it was amazing.
Casual people complained.
They nerfed it into the fucking ground.
It is now boring.

Still finished, just boring.

[tacit crystal]

Knight didn't.

[paper marsh]

Knight said he never finished it

[bitter juniper]

I made it to like where you take over some abandoned castles and make elemental weapons but never killed the boss because I was just not having fun with the game

[gray sand]

I know only of Smiffe 😏

[autumn echo]

hey guys, I was wondering is there any news on the development and future content?

[bitter juniper]

@autumn echo Valheim is done at 1.0, sounds like they have already started a new 1st person dungeon crawler game

[tacit crystal]

It's pass time project, not something Iron Gate is going to produce during their work hours.

[autumn echo]

Yeah, i saw what they published. Begraved looks interesting but is not my cup of tea ngl so i have to say im a bit afraid for Valheim since there was a lack of communication in the last few months. Im still hoping for a bomb annoucement about the 1.0 update and official mod support. I believe that would push Valheim into a legendary status, at least for me it would.

[tacit crystal]

In December they didn't publish Word from devs post because they were already on holiday, which they announced in other social medias.

[craggy gazelle]

I have internet, ran a speed test and its all working, but when i try to start a server for my buddy to join it says Failed to log in. It keeps giving me the retry countdown but nothing is fixing it. What do i do?

I asked in help but I am desperate here

[autumn echo]

I am aware of that. Time has proved IronGate is small but dedicated team who I believe are pretty passionate about what they made and are making. I guess patience is a virtue

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, they unfortunately have past experience when they announced the road map in 2021 but had to scrap it since they couldn't produce all that content due to large amount of players and prioritising bug fixing because of it, which is one reason they are more wary on giving specific timelines for next big updates.

[autumn echo]

Also true, also aware of that. I respect what they are doing. Im pretty sure none of them expected 12 million sold copies so they pivoted pretty well in that regard. The question that comes to mind though is if they expanded their team or not, sounds like they could have for sure. And im pretty sure a lot of different people would like to contribute, but again still. Its their project, their game and in that regard, their tempo of development and announcements, for sure.

[tacit crystal]

They expanded from 5 to 15ish (don't remember exact number).

[autumn echo]

Yeah, thats not really a big expansion, was my point. Im sure they are balancing between quality and quantity, they dont want to make mistakes a lot of modern games make

[fossil delta]

16. They expanded to 16. They aren't going any bigger because its more important to them to have a small family like atmosphere than to go big, lose that work place feeling, and maybe get things done faster.

[subtle pawn]

happy people make game happy people play game

[fossil delta]

I've been here since 2021. Their consistent quality is what has made me learn to be patient, and just support them in doing all of this the way they want to do it.

[hoary scarab]

Happy people, happy bees.

[green reef]

happy bees, happy honey. 🍯

[hoary scarab]

Happy honey, sad Elder.

[candid basalt]

Happy honey, happy honmoon?

[lone rampart]

Happy honey, happy mead!

[fringe whale]

Hard to be patient when you’ve been waiting to play since 01 and they just announced the one console you have. Sooooo excited

[candid basalt]

How you been playing for 25 years?!

[green reef]

happy mead, happy me.

[paper marsh]

now now, they've been waiting to play for 25 years

[candid basalt]

Aha! That makes more sense.

[fossil delta]

I've been waiting for over 50 years. I just didn't know until 2021 it was Valheim I had been waiting for the whole time.

[verbal elbow]

anyone wanna do a c oop world?

[fossil delta]

People try to arrange all that in #1024264966712340510 I have no idea what success rates are like.

[gloomy hull]

i'm playing valheim on hard w/ creatureandlootcontrol mod, after i killed the elder the difficulty just ramped up, almost every mob at least has a star + i somehow got 1-star abomination as my first enemy in the swamp. love this 😭

[paper marsh]

@silk token https://discordapp.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202263390056357928/1470963383653236818

12 damage per parry does hurt a little but overall I'd say they look pretty solid. Getting staggered at one point was rough, but tbh your food was also on half at that point

I hope I find myself a couple axes on my next run to try them out

[paper marsh]

Tears of joy 😈

[silk token]

yeah, it averaged about 50% chance self-stagger, probly less if i had just eaten but food wasnt ticking yet either. my hardest time was actually against brutes, they attack so fast you cant hit and dodge, and they do more dmg than bear swipe not parryable at all. i was IMMEDIATELY caught with forest is moving and had a real tough time using only axes

[paper marsh]

Yeah brutes are honestly brutal (pardon the pun)

That's why I love when I can get bear fists and fight them. One kick stagger to chain into regular attacks

[silk token]

i had to switch to shield and spear to fight brutes, the only way to fight brutes and not take big damage is timing the final combo swings and staggering them but thats pretty tough they have that ima-wander-around AI

but they’re still sick damage, honestly pretty well balanced as an inbetween meadows and bf weapon. its highly likely i’ll prefer bronze axe and buckler in swamp. but again this is all hard difficulty, i think they’re pretty perfectly balanced for normal play so i cant critique them fairly

[wild schooner]

I have 58 beehives and 3x resource rate

[silk token]

fists are great. i almost made them to clear tombs, but the earlys actually performed really well there too. i thought id he hitting the walls too much and have trouble without parry, cuz spoiler you can just barely parry skeles too, but they’re so much damage the “just kill it” strategy works

[fossil delta]

I have 36. Standard settings.

[paper marsh]

Yeah honestly I think I'll like them early more than anything just to not have to spend bronze on an axe for finewood, and because they'll probably level axe skill faster

[silk token]

i’d love it if the damage is high enough to stagger drauger well enough to get me to my sweet iron darling. I can always use buckler and spear too but i want to try earlys. thing is I’m playing one life so the swamp will be full of hard lessons lol.

[honest frigate]

Bro for why

[hoary scarab]

🍻

[silk token]

oh also before putting on bear armor the post-parry damage was more like 20

[hoary scarab]

I need to make me some bear fists. Probably have the paws by now

[sleek sky]

Challengee: mine enough copper to make enough fermenters to use all that honey

[silk token]

bigger challenge: put 3/4 of those queen bees in the obliterator you don't need them

[hoary scarab]

But they are so happy to have frens

[sleek sky]

[meager fossil]

Ngggaaaaah!! I hate farming drake trophies for the helmet!!

Killed like 40 and got 1

This is Smiffe's fault

[sleek sky]

when in doubt, blame the community manager

[meager fossil]

Exactly

Whats worse is that when I got my first drake trophy I got super happy because I thought I needed only 1

[sleek sky]

the problem isnt the drop rates, the problem is drakes cant be starred

[meager fossil]

🤣

Ive never thought of that, but yeah you're right haha

[paper marsh]

starred drakes would be fun, but it wouldn't change anything for getting their trophy, would it?

[sleek sky]

you could also argue its a blessing they cant be starred

[paper marsh]

Just make it a little harder to get the trophy if anything

[sleek sky]

i thought starred enemies usually drop more trophies?''

[chrome badge]

Yeah, starred has no effect on trophy drops.

[meager fossil]

Yeah I think 2 stars always drops a trophy?

[paper marsh]

No. Same chance and they still only drop 1

[sleek sky]

hmmm well that is stupid

[meager fossil]

Hm I could have sworn it did

[sleek sky]

i had forgotten how vanilla works since i play wwith star level system which does affect trophies 😭

to the suggestions channel i go!

[meager fossil]

Do it!

[chrome badge]

It's been suggested many times 😛

[sleek sky]

and ill suggest it again

i aint afraid to suggest previously suggesteed things

if anything, im aura farming those recycle emotes

[silk token]

it's funny, i'm sure it's the video game gods but every time i go "sigh... i really SHOULDNT fight this star bear..." the game rewards me with a trophy

[chrome badge]

I would hate if starred always dropped trophies, after getting the trophy you need it's just inventory bloat.

[silk token]

fi i didnt know otherwise id say star bears drop trophies more

[sleek sky]

YES, my suggestion that i definitely didnt reuse from someone else, is farming MAXIMUM aura

what better way to be cool than being in the valheim discord server and people liking your suggestion

[chrome badge]

Next up, suggest starred drakes, because that still won't solve the issue that person had 😛

[sleek sky]

TRUE

imo, hot take, all enemies should be able to be starred

going to the mountains and NOTHING being starred has always bothered me

if there are starred seeker soldiers, there should be starre stone golems

[sick echo]

guys, if i start a world now without exploring the north region, and then they drop it will i be able to play it or do i have to start a new game?

[fossil delta]

Depends on which trophy, and whether or not you fish, and how much you fish. I actually have a hard time keeping up with Troll and abomination trophies until I stop fishing after the Plains food need ends.

[chrome badge]

Interesting, I am typically overflowing in those trophies already, even while fishing.

[fossil delta]

Maybe you kill more of them than I do, or just typically get better RNG on them than I do.

[meager fossil]

@chrome badge "That person"?! I HAVE A NAME!

Acknowledge me!

[chrome badge]

I guess I would just say, their suggestion doesn't ask for guarantees, so it might still be worth just killing regular foes.

[sleek sky]

Rekt

[chrome badge]

Haha I am sorry I was too lazy to scroll, it was JackDenDanske.

[meager fossil]

Its too late now. Damage is done and my self esteem has taken permenant damage

[sleek sky]

How will you ever recover

[meager fossil]

I know right?

[sleek sky]

Probably wont

[meager fossil]

This is Smiffe's fault

[fossil delta]

Damaged for the rest of your life.

[sleek sky]

When you are in your 90s, youll be telling the people in the nursing home about that "dangnabbit meanie in the valheim discord who forgot my name."

[fossil delta]

AND... cannot remember their name.

[meager fossil]

My fate is sealed

[chrome badge]

Do you think you start using words like dangnabbit as you get older? 😂

[oblique zinc]

Member Valheim ?

[sleek sky]

Well hopefully when im in my 90s im not going to be saying 67 💀

[meager fossil]

I was about to say that lmfao

[chrome badge]

This is the way.

[sleek sky]

67

[oblique zinc]

Just wait till Superbowl LXVII

[lone rampart]

For anyone who ridicules 67, I remind us that my generation had Hampsterdance 🤣

[meager fossil]

I listened to that a few days ago lmfao

[lone rampart]

Me too!! It was on the radio of all places!

Mighta headbanged to it a lil. Don’t judge.

[fossil delta]

Hampster Dance? I guess I am old.

[meager fossil]

Crazy frog too... Hate that little b*stard

ring ding ding ding!!

[lone rampart]

That sound still fills me with rage

[candid basalt]

Off topic chat but yes hate that thing

I hate gjalls less than crazy frog

[meager fossil]

I LOOVE the Gjall sound effects

[candid basalt]

Dubstep is fine, but not when it drops ticks and spits fire

[fossil delta]

Me too. The sounds make sure the bas... errr... ummm. vile creatures don't sneak up on me.

[sleek sky]

Gjalls need to have a pilot in an aviator hat since they sound like biplan3s

[silk token]

how about peanut butter jelly time?

[fossil delta]

Get that goblin from the bottom of the sealed tower.

[lone rampart]

Imagine an enslaved gjall “warship” that dropped fulings instead of ticks

[fossil delta]

I would find them less annoying than ticks.

Speaking of which, whats up with that mysterious location in Ashlands, and all those 2 stars? WTF!?!?

[shy marlin]

[lone rampart]

It’s a mystery. 🤷‍♀️

[fossil delta]

Well, not so much anymore. Just after fighting a dozen or so of them, I am just staying away from it.

Now, if that staff works for us, as it does for him, well, then I'd go back and get it.

Also, just shows how fickle RNG can be, since I never saw a stone for it in my previous 3 times going into the Ashlands.

[frigid anvil]

I keep forgetting to make iron nails so I can build better stuff

Oops

[sleek sky]

This sounds like a balrond amazing nature enjoyer

[candid basalt]

“Wooden” nails?

[fossil delta]

I'm guessing another game entirely. Or mods.

[sleek sky]

Balrond amazing nature has wooden nails, so they are probably talking about that or another mod

And they probably posted it in the wrong server

[chilly topaz]

Is there a way to have the mod tabs on the build menu configuation adjusted where they don't go above the window or down into the item selection area

[fossil delta]

Probably best to ask in the mod channel here, or join and ask in the Valheim modding Discord.

[chilly topaz]

Also I just smelted some iron and got copper out of the smelters

[silk token]

probably the mods lol.

[fossil delta]

Instead of iron? Could have been copper you forgot to smelt.

[chilly topaz]

I put iron in I know I did, it was iron ore

[woven leaf]

maybe there was some copper left on the smelter

[chilly topaz]

They had no ore in them

[fossil delta]

So no iron came out? Just copper? IF so, then yes, the mods likely caused that.

Which I hope was a one time problem.

[meager fossil]

I got my 2nd drake trophy!!

Mother! look at me!

[paper marsh]

Your mother would be proud

That you invaded the dragons homeland to brutally murder innocent drakes

[haughty geode]

what makes "no skill drain" effect go reset?
it feels like Ijust went through portal and it is now again at 10m

[paper marsh]

Not sure. To my knowledge only dying should do it, but it does sound like other things reset it too sometimes

May be a bug

[shy marlin]

known issue

[abstract warren]

If the animal whispers mead cuts the taming time from 30min to 15min but it lasts 10min

Once it runs out do I need to drink another to keep it halved

[nocturne wolf]

You'll get 10 minutes of increased taming speed

it affects how fast progress is made, not the maximum amount to finish taming

[abstract warren]

Got it

Thanks

Shouldn't wolves be afraid of fire same as bears?

If not moreso

[haughty geode]

really clucks when you can't run/roll/jump away because there's some living tree trunk sneak up on you and got in ur way

[abstract warren]

A what

[hard sluice]

idk if this is about all the stuff you can get stuck into in the BF, but i adopted the habit of chopping all the stumps* and smaller trees in that biome. it does get in the way.

also, it seems like its a faster way to get wood than chopping the bigger trees. but i'm really not sure about that.

[hard sluice]

i guess so , but it would not be a good thing in term of gameplay, in my opinion.

[nocturne wolf]

it would make being hunted too easy

[paper marsh]

abomination probably

[frigid anvil]

*iron 😂

It has been a long day TwT

[abstract warren]

Can I tame two wolves together or will they not calm tf down?

[abstract warren]

Sure I guess

[nocturne wolf]

Yes, they won't aggro each other

[abstract warren]

Doesn't seem like that though

[nocturne wolf]

even if one is tamed first, tamed creatures won't attack the same species

[abstract warren]

When it was one it was ok but now I got another one in (both still wild) and not calming down now

[green reef]

feels like it to me.

[paper marsh]

Probably other stuff (like you) angering them

But honestly taming has always felt a tad janky to me

[fossil delta]

I tame them in pairs frequently. So its likely either you, or some mob, is close enough to keep them alerted.

[abstract warren]

Ok working now ty

[green reef]

last time I tamed, I tamed the animals in solo pits, then dug the pits to each other and let them make whoopie.

[abstract warren]

I didn't even do pits this time

Not actually necessary

Just put some stake wall around them throw some meat and bugger off

Not too far away ofc

[green reef]

my last time was in Ashlands 😉

[haughty geode]

bruh wtf...
greydwarf just murdered 2 star boar I just tamed because they through rock...
I didn't even see that rat sack of rotten wood

[green reef]

fences make good neighborrs

[haughty geode]

huh?

[marble sable]

Wish the Leviathan scales had more uses

Such a cool thing for so little use

[paper marsh]

like 3 uses? Yeah not a ton

All 3 items are very nice imo tho

[marble sable]

True

Still, when I first played I got a ton of the scales and got so disappointed when I realized you can only make a shield, and harpoon with it

What was the third thing?

[paper marsh]

Think you're mixing up two things

Serpent Scale (dropped by serpent) makes the serpent scale shield and fins of destiny (new trinket)

Chitin (mined from leviathans) makes abyssal razor (iron-tier knife), harpoon, and also used for fins of destiny

[fringe whale]

Ha. Im old. I meant 21 not 01. Apologies.

[pale acorn]

ashlands literally took the fun from valhiem and took the movementum

[paper marsh]

The main line of progression in Ashlands ||(forts)|| really killed it for me yea

Otherwise I think devs did fairly well. Some smaller issues for sure but the progression is what got to me

[fossil delta]

I don't mind their changing things up so much in Ashlands. I have much more of a problem with just how ugly the biome is. Yeah, sure, its the "war" biome and everything, but even in real war fronts, you can still see a beautiful sun set or rise. There is nothing beautiful in the biome.

[pale acorn]

its pure design of enemies

[green reef]

its nice to have variety. I think the difference for me was when you are all geared up and done with the biome, you are quite done with it.

there pretty minimal reason to make a permanent base there, especially with its lack of connection to any other biome.

I really doubt you could somehow build a cozy happy place that doesn't just feel like a tomb 😄

[pale acorn]

too many teams which are annoying to fight

2 morgans 2 valks 2 ashvin at the same place?

you shouldnt allow them to spawn like that

that not fun to fight

[pale acorn]

just entered a fort and got swarmed by alot of enemies

[cosmic summit]

How small of a gap can bats fit into?

[green reef]

like rats with wings

[cosmic summit]

Ya. But can they fit into 1m ? Smoke needs 2m

[dark coyote]

nasty

[green reef]

does smoke need 2m?

[paper marsh]

I mean the point is that they all do friendly fire damage so you gotta turn them against each other

[green reef]

for chickens and boars, I'd keep my fire area separate entirely.

[paper marsh]

I like the enemies and spawn rates

[green reef]

I wish there were deadzones and I wish the environment was a bit stronger, one lava bomb thing blowing up an archway is kind of sad.

[pale acorn]

spawn rates are too much and too annoying

like 2 valks and 2 morgans together?

you wont even be able tofight them or get your loot back

[hard sluice]

i like ashlands a lot...

[dark coyote]

I like it conceptually, but its not fun to play

[hard sluice]

i think its fun to play..!

[pale acorn]

i mean i loved sekiro and elden ring
i finished them
i like challeange as long as their fun and fair

there is nothing fun in fighting 2 morgans 2 ashinvs and 2 valks
you cant even run away from them
they will literally catch you

[hard sluice]

shoot those valks with the spinebreaker and frost arrows. or silver arrows.

[dark coyote]

anything pervasive is annoying, and in ashlands there is just a constant wave of enemies from all directions, there is no rhythm, or encounter,, just constant fighting

[pale acorn]

you wont be able to bow them down when there is 2 morgans on you

[cosmic summit]

I managed to suppress spawns around my ashlands base. Just need to spread a lot of campfires

[pale acorn]

true
the survial mechanics of other biomes are gone in this biome

[cosmic summit]

Can Morgan's climb?

[hard sluice]

if you try to take them all at once, you will fail.

[green reef]

oh man, imagine if it worked more like a warzone, kinda of like raids, a general ashland skele spawns and a horn goes off, and an army marches from one area to another?

[pale acorn]

the only thing hard in ashlands in the swarms of enemies

[hard sluice]

its the only biome where i resort to spawnproofing zones with campfires

[cosmic summit]

Ashlands is just tedious

[green reef]

taking over a fortress should significantly reduce spawning in a larger area.

[hard sluice]

but ironically, its the only biome where wood and stones are a bit hard to find

[pale acorn]

true

mistands was hard but it was kinda fun too
like exploring and going to dungouns

here you cant even explore or do anything

i go for explore or go anything in ashlands i get ganged by alot of them and die
and now i have to send 1 hour to get them back

[hard sluice]

i spent about 2 hours in ashland yesterday, in my no-map/no-portal world. i didnt make that much progress, but its not like i was stuck and couldnt go forward.

[pale acorn]

atleast they should despawn when you die

[flat stag]

can someone please explain trinkets to me? Are there any disadvantages in using them?

[hard sluice]

i like to use the frostner to slow enemies in ashland when i need to run away

[green reef]

it'll be interesting to see how you progress through it. On mine I cheated a bit because I looked up the seed. But I still landed my boat at the wrong place multiple times and got lost many times trying to find the next fortress or get back to my corpse.

[tepid prawn]

yes the disadvantage is you have to give up 1 inventory space mostly (some also take quite a while to get activated)

[green reef]

the use up a slot of inventory...

[tepid prawn]

and there not free to craft some use things you might not have tha many of at that stage of the game

[hard sluice]

i got scared of sailing through the spires and landing near the edge xD

[frigid anvil]

hit things for an extra power up

if you don't hit things a lot they waste an inventory slot

[hard sluice]

i followed the advices that was given to me here, about the logistics of building my 1st bases

[flat stag]

I am almost done with Mistlands and I haven't made one single trinet yet...

Does it mean that I can only have 1 trinket active at a time?

[hard sluice]

i made a small base on a spire, near the shore. then i spotted an old structure where i can place something more permanent. but i had a feeling i might have landed on a small landmass so i scouted for FM 1st. i didnt find any. but i left with a boatfull of goodies. and a clear marked path from there to my nearest base.

[green reef]

my last playthrough I didn't bother with a trinket.

[dark coyote]

I used one of those buildings, when I first landed, but morgen f'd it up. So then I built a earthen walled base witth a catwalk to a grausten spire, which acts as a dock

[hard sluice]

thats exactly my issue with building in those... i cant repair them if they get damaged. so it seems like a matter of time before they fall

[green reef]

I just reinforced them with Grausten walls. the roofs don't really get damaged much

Eventually my way in and out was through the roof anyway, feather cape.

[pale acorn]

i use mistwalker

[hard sluice]

mining for stones in ashland attracts a ton of monsters, so i decided to get more from my previous base instead. it gives me time to decide what i want to do

[green reef]

yeah, no mining necessary typically, so much destruction

[hard sluice]

the mistwalker is probably better than the frostner, but it doesnt knockback, which is super useful vs the charred warriors

[flat stag]

what is the most effective way to farm hares in ML?

[dark coyote]

I wish you could mine the spires flat

[green reef]

I like mistwalker pretty good against both valk and morgen, Morgen you can use it and just dance around the guy and take down more than half his life while he slowly tries to catch up with you

[hard sluice]

i have 3 methods. 1: ooze bombs. 2: 'spike traps' 3: clearing an area of mist and hunting them with the xbow.

[green reef]

use a knife or fist weapons/claws, have leapfoot and ratatosk going so your stamina stays up.

[hard sluice]

i love the mistwalker. but i havent used swords at all in this run, it feels weird to start now

i've been using frostner and the skoll and hati knives...! i love them even more now :3

the askvins seem to have a better hearing than eyesight. when i get close they start going in my way without seeing me. i can sneak attack them with the secondary jump attack, it deals 1500 dmg xD

[flat stag]

ok thanks

[dark coyote]

what is that, berserkir axes?

[hard sluice]

skoll and hati are the mistland tier knives

[green reef]

can kill rabits with just about any knife.

[hard sluice]

i didnt think i would be able to use them in ashland but i brought them anyway. and they kick ass.

[green reef]

I used vile claws in mistlands, even used them in ashlands for awhile.

[hard sluice]

the reason i didnt play much with them is they dont seem 'optimal' for the current end game.
i like playing the fist weapons though

[dark coyote]

I think fist weapons should be pierce/bludgeon

[paper marsh]

Feel like they could fit any category

I mean currently we got blunt, pierce, and slash fist damage

All just depending on the shape of the weapon you put on your fists

[oblique zinc]

Magic fists, when ?

[dark coyote]

and how you attack, I mainly say this because he straight punches

[hard sluice]

that actually sounds fun. idk how it would fit in the game, but its a cool suggestion.

[paper marsh]

True, the animation for the slashing ones does feel odd

[dark coyote]

eagles claws: pure slash, parry bonus
crystal golem fists: blunt/pierce/spirit
morguen: slash/blunt/lifesteal (looks like the flesh has rotted off your hands)

[lone rampart]

Eagles don’t exist in Valheim. Valkyrie talons

[dark coyote]

well seagull claws wasnt very inspiring

[dark coyote]

yeah make that the lifesteal one, so like morgenn heart + valkyrie nails or w/e

[red coral]

you are wet

[vale holly]

Oh yes daddy

[frigid anvil]

Can you push smoke to the side at all, or does it have to be a vertical chimney

I’m trying to figure out how to set up smoke management for my smelters and kilns

[tepid prawn]

hard to answer this but some of it has to be above the fire, also the total space of chimney matters, if its very high it sorta dissipates completely

[frigid anvil]

mmm I might just mess around with it until something works

I was looking at the wiki and it didn’t really help 😂

[dark coyote]

I've seen internal horizontal smoke dissipaters, I think the idea is that each smoke puff has a duration, so making a conduit long enough for it to travel will have the same effect as funneling it outside

[frigid anvil]

what I can’t tell is whether you can reliably “push” smoke with the undersides of roof pieces

[dark coyote]

you mean diagonally? without it backflowing? prettty sure

[frigid anvil]

yes

alright, hopefully my plan works

if not I probably could just go straight up and not worry about it

[green reef]

there are some pretty interesting chimney's on youtube. I've see one where he takes the full stone fireplace and spits it out a pretty tiny chimney,

[paper marsh]

Yeah pushing smoke with roof pieces works fine in my experience

[green reef]

my default is just a double roof. the one above the fireplace higher up a bit. sometimes just about the size of the fireplace, other times half the house.

[fossil delta]

I don't even make chimneys. My roof is high enough that the smoke just dissipates. For an example, look at the biggest buildings in a draugr village. That roofing is more than high enough to not even need a chimney, even though the full houses do.

Another example is dvergr towers in the Mistlands. If you put a fire on the first floor of a tower with roof access, the smoke will choke you if you stay in the stairs on the second floor part of it, but you won't have that happen going to the roof.

[flat stag]

I am fighting the Queen. Should I keep using lvl 2 black metal shield? Or should I craft carapace buckler or shield instead?

With Frostner ofc

[green reef]

BM tower shield is better I think

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure the numbers on the carapace shields are better.

[green reef]

I used a carapace shield last time I guess.

[fossil delta]

They only asked about parry shields. The BM Tower Shield is a beast, though. Which is why it remains the best going into Ashlands.

[bright swift]

Hey guys, joined the server for this question. Is there a line of code in the game that checks where the player goes, wants to go and make the wind go the opposite goddamn direction?

[fossil delta]

Nope.

[dark coyote]

probably

[marble sable]

I really hope that the AI gets improved in the next patch

elitkir just sat around and let me shoot him without attacking me lol

[bright swift]

I have 156 hours in this game. I always paddle that piece of shit

[fossil delta]

All weather, including wind, is all pre determined for all worlds. Which is why we can look up our weather for any given day, regardless of your world/seed.

[green reef]

can you parry the queen? does it do any good? I find that fight tougher than it should be.

[fossil delta]

You can't parry any boss.

[dark coyote]

if by parry you mean ||spread out refined eitr and sit behind the wall|| then yes

[fossil delta]

I don't even like blocking the Queen. She knocks me way back.

[green reef]

I did the whole stand in a safe-ish spot and poke over and over.

[fossil delta]

Mobility works best with her. Just kind of chase her around and hit her at her sides or back/tail.

Only reason I use my shield is to block her mobs, or keep from being hit by her.

Meaning, ideally, I would never be hit by her, but when its going to happen, I use it.

[cloud robin]

hi is it possible to plant berry bushes yet?

like blueberries

[fossil delta]

Nope.

Dev commands or mods are still it.

[cloud robin]

boo

[shy marlin]

i hope we do get cosmetic vegetation some time

[fossil delta]

Vineberries don't count?

[shy marlin]

i mean sorta, ig i should have said more

[cloud robin]

i got into blueberry plants IRL cuz of this game.

[fossil delta]

We also have ivy, from the
Hag.

[shy marlin]

Still desire more 🤔

[light moat]

Would love access to the small sized trees 🌱

[fossil delta]

Mods are not hard to use, so once I start using them, I'll have everything to plant.

[light moat]

Plant Everything mod is definitely useful for having access to more flora options. Unfortunately if you’re on console, that’s not an option 🤔

Will be seeing a lot more console players joining our community this year!

[fossil delta]

Mods are part of the reason why I stopped using consoles over 15 years ago. I prefer being able to add things to a given game that the devs never added or did.

[trim hatch]

i dont like mods personally

every time i use a mod im like "damn i wish i was playing normally"

[fossil delta]

Thats fine. I love them.

[shy marlin]

I personally only enjoy small qol mods

Never really enjoyed the change the game mods

[fossil delta]

Pretty much with you there. Your never going to find me using more than 30 mods, or so. Depending on the game, and mods available for it.

I think my longest mod list is for Skyrim.

[abstract warren]

Naturally

[open bolt]

Skyrim kinda needs it 😅

[fossil delta]

So far I have 8 mods I want to use to play Valheim using, all are QoL mods, plus one graphics. There is an over haul mod I am interested in.

[abstract warren]

Skyrim is the game with the largest and best variety of mods

[fossil delta]

Even so, my list is in the 40's. I've seen many using 100+. They also complain about a lot of conflicts. Go figure.

[abstract warren]

Yeah better use a readymade modlist

[flat stag]

So, the Queen is killed. Anyone mind nudging me in the right direction as to what's next? Without spoiling too much

[fossil delta]

Especially since they use several mods that changes the same things for the graphics. I guess Modding 101 classes are much needed.

[open bolt]

I play 100% vanilla Skyrim. But it's because my pc is a potato 😅 I won't risk modding my games

[shy marlin]

Check what the queen drop gave you and what you can make 🤔

[summer hinge]

My last Skyrim mod list was at least 250+

[fossil delta]

Hint ||look for table upgrades||

[abstract warren]

Yeah once I figured out the wabbajack thing I never went back to manual modding

[flat stag]

Thanks guys!

[abstract warren]

Valheim seems good enough for me with just a few QoL mods. It's my first full playthrough though so

[fossil delta]

Certain mods can actually help you there, but you have to know what to look for in the first place.

[open bolt]

yeah, I guess... but there are so many 🤦‍♀️ I haven't had the patience yet to look for Skyrim/Tes mods.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, the mods list usually grows into the hundreds rather fast. Skyrim is probably into the thousands now.

Valheim has a lot, but its been around for 5 years now as well.

[open bolt]

Yeah, and Valheim is still not complete. So maybe the community will make more mods once the complete version is out. 🤔

[frigid anvil]

That is also my default, but for the build I have in mind it won’t work quite so well

Because I kind of hope to stack fires on multiple levels

[fossil delta]

For sure. Thats part of why I haven't started to use mods yet.

[fossil delta]

I used to watch building videos for Valheim. I saw plenty of multi level fire places, etc... in them, back in the day. I imagine those videos are still up, and hopefully much newer videos.

[flat stag]

so I can build the newest ship (after Queen) - wouldn't it be smarter to sail south with a quicker boat first, before building Drakkar?

[green reef]

unless you want to practice, get a feel for it

[fossil delta]

Find a place to set up a final portal and mini base, prior to even sailing into Ashlands. Then go from there.

That way, if you get wiped upon landing, you have a some what close location to try from again.

[green reef]

since my last one was no map no portal it was multiple boat trips to setup the staging base.

[frigid anvil]

Are the iron cooking racks actually worth it? In my experience you can get more pieces of meat in the same area with the regular cooking racks

Unless I’m doing something wrong with the iron cooking racks

[open bolt]

maybe you can 🤷‍♀️ maybe not

[fossil delta]

You can't cook all meats on the wood racks anymore. Not even serpent.

[dark coyote]

need it for giant meat though

[flat stag]

so... anything specific that is worth taking with me to Ashlands? Other than workbench, chest and portal materials? Some metal perhaps?

[frigid anvil]

Ah well I haven’t gotten to that yet, then 😂

[fossil delta]

Not like it was for Mistlands. Just be ready to set up a base to fight off armies with.

Armies that can destroy even ||
raised earth walls||.

[flat stag]

So, I haven't really made new Mistlands weapons other than Demolisher and Spinesnap. I still use Blackiron Atgeir, Frostner and Carapace Shield. Any tips on which type of weapon could be useful in Ashlands?

[fossil delta]

For DPS it seems to be silver sword and Mistwalker.

[dark coyote]

I use frostner + carapace buckler, and flametal mace

[fossil delta]

Well, that mace can take a while to be able to make.

[green reef]

stone cutter matts.

[hard sluice]

i'm normally not a very big atgeir advocate, but i'm sure you could do fine with the halm.. himmlnaf...himminafl*

[fossil delta]

Yeah, why they have not made the lightning atgeir in Mistlands kind of baffles me.

[green reef]

gesundheit

[flat stag]

thanks - what about copper, bronze, iron or black metal? Is setting up base down there even worth it?

[fossil delta]

Not that full of a base. For most thing s I just portal home.

[green reef]

I wouldn't worry about it on your first foray.

[hard sluice]

when i play with portals, i don't build down there. i only build 'bunkers' to protect my main portals

[green reef]

even on no-map, no-portal I barely built a base.

[dark coyote]

2 iron for stonecutter for stone portal

[flat stag]

I used atgeir a lot - but i still use black iron one. Is Himminafl useful in AL?

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I just build a tough base to keep what little there that I do keep in Ashlands safe. Primarily a portal and rested buff recovery area.

[shy marlin]

short answer is yea it's still good

[hard sluice]

the black iron one is nice but when you face something that resists it, it cuts the dmg by a lot. the himminafl does a good amount of lightning dmg, which counts for staggering.

[flat stag]

Awesome, I will make it then

[fossil delta]

Atgeir is pierce?

[hard sluice]

yep..! it kind of works the way i expected spears to

i thought spears would be long range, 2 handed weapons

[fossil delta]

Just making sure I was remembering correctly. I don't want to reduce his pain and suffering too much.

[green reef]

it's a pole arm. so it should be both pierce and slash depending on the move

[fossil delta]

Spears are a pole arm.

[hoary thunder]

I typically use an axe/mace myself though I do want to try out a sword I forged. Also: hi!

[fossil delta]

What are the ones they used for boar hunting called?

[hard sluice]

(the only thing i dont like about the atgier is how the spin attack is animated...
the animation is fine, but i dont like that the character spins around, i wish it spun his atgeir around him instead..)

[fossil delta]

I've never gotten used to the Atgeir. I tried, for many hours. Its just too odd for me.

[hard sluice]

i tried to use it as a spear and it didnt work great for me. but using the secondary attack twice is really powerful. because stagger+big hit. it just costs a lot of stamina, so it plays a bit different. i have to wait to be almost full stam to throw the combo.

i thought it worked great on a mage build, as 'sidearm'

i just thought about a possible solution to balance magic...!
make it use stamina along the eitr when attacking...?!

[nocturne wolf]

Secondary attacks only multiply damage, they don’t change the types

[open bolt]

materials for the stone cutter could be helpful...

[dark coyote]

hes saying it should

[frigid anvil]

Is there any chance we’re going to be able to dig underground properly in the future you think?

[light moat]

Like with tunnels and such? Don’t think so 🤔

[hard sluice]

i like to dig under the stones in mistlands, and sometimes the spires in plains.
its no minecraft, but it can be fun

mmm i wonder if i could make a base in ashlands like that..

i dont want to cheese it, but i assume i could dig under a putrid hole and have a nearly indestructible base. but maybe not. idk how deep they go.

[silk token]

my first landing in ashlands was with atgier and i found the thing mostly useless, charred resist pierce and they stagger for so short a time the spin move is pretty pointless. itll help against asksvins, but id say krom or mistwalker against most things
