valheim-chat

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, but still they require less iron usually.
Gomparing fully upgraded armor sets that require iron: iron armor 150, padded armor 96 and carapace armor 48 iron.
Sure, there are other material requirements too for later armor sets, but still they require less iron than iron armor.

[muted elm]

idk tbh its a server hosted vai bisect hosting

[strange cradle]

Well, the seed should be visible to you.

[tacit crystal]

Exception for some weapons tho: Krom, Demolisher and Skull Splittur require quite a lot of iron.

[muted elm]

WHERE

[strange cradle]

Ah... sorry, might not... I usually don't play on servers...

[storm sinew]

Almost like 100 iron each for full upgrade on those weapons

[paper marsh]

Luckily mistlands supplies you with a good amount of iron

[tacit crystal]

120. 

[paper marsh]

Can’t wait for all Deep North weapons to be crafted from iron

[storm sinew]

Without a doubt, iron will be needed in deep north

[strange cradle]

Yeah, can't see it when you join servers.

[idle storm]

i've already farmed up a BM chest full in preparation 😂

[strange cradle]

I would just delete the world and try again.

Also, are you using mods?

[tacit crystal]

Ashlands cut the spiral of needing iron for crafting Ashlands tier gear tho.

[storm sinew]

If its ok to ask, how many crypts did you conquer to fill up the blackmetal chest? 😅

[idle storm]

i didn't count. A lot though.

i average about 3-4 stacks per crypt so probably around a dozen

[storm sinew]

Then if you are using the longship which has 18 storage then if you manage to board the cart in there, you are like taking home 36 stocks of iron

[idle storm]

i'm already at ashlands so i just used a stone portal. I also didn't do them all at once, just one at a time every couple ingame days.
For my initial swamp playthrough i usually just farm one longship full, craft the pickaxe and mace and keep the rest for later.

[storm sinew]

Yeah just craft the only useful stuff that needs iron

When i got my first batches of iron the first time i reach swamp, i did like crafted most of the iron and upgraded them to level 3 and oh boy that was a mistake 😅

Wasted like, lets just say 500+ of iron to upgrade those

[paper marsh]

I've started just crafting a battleaxe in swamp, then skipping all other iron weapons/shields/armor

Maybe I'll make a spear to start mountains with

[tacit crystal]

Nowadays one of the first items I craft from iron is battleaxe. It's so good in swamps.

[shy marlin]

Honestly so goated against aboms

Assuming like qual 3 and some decent skill lvls can staggerlock

|| and also a great tree chopper ||

[tacit crystal]

Even 1 or 2 quality can quite easily.

[shy marlin]

huge news

[tacit crystal]

But usually upgrade to 3 and use it until I craft fully upgraded CBA.

[steel mica]

Sword against bonemass 🤔

[paper marsh]

I don’t usually make CBA

Don’t find enough good use for it in mountains

[tacit crystal]

It's badass to use against Moder. Also against Yagluth and for hunting viles.

[shy marlin]

how much spirit does it do?

[tacit crystal]

30 at all quality levels.

[shy marlin]

respectable amount

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, only silver sword exceeds it with 45 spirit at quality 4. 👀

[plush niche]

Is there a creative mode?

[shy marlin]

sorta with debugmode

[tacit crystal]

World modifiers have passive enemy and no building material cost as available options.

[dull mountain]

My carve just got rekt mid-ocean in a storm. I didn't know that could happen. 😮

[solemn crown]

Haven't killed my first boss yet. Accidently wandered into the mountains, and the skeletons there taught me to block and parry a bit.

[dull mountain]

Much more dangerous things on the mountain to worry about. 😛

[solemn crown]

Oh, I have no doubt. I would have turned back as soon as I saw the snow, but there was a stone tower right there that might have treasure in it.

It didn't.

[shy marlin]

honestly I completely forgot about those two

[dull mountain]

Those wolves are very hungry.

New to the game SaltSong or a non-first playthrough?

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, although they don't offer similar "creative mode" as some other games as you still need to pick materials to get the building recipes.

But one can just go and pick them since enemies won't attack.

[fresh raptor]

anyone know a mod like AzuAntiCheat so i can enforce spacific mods only?

[solemn crown]

level 3 flint spear and wooden shield. Troll pants, leather shirt, level 2 deer cape. Gonna go visit the first boss. Wish me luck.

[tacit crystal]

You could ask in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 👍

[old flint]

Are early axes guaranteed in every world?

[noble warren]

Unless you're incredibly unlucky they should be

[old flint]

even in an old world?

[shy marlin]

as long as you have a semi reasonable amount of unexplored meadows left in your world yea

[tacit crystal]

In unexplored areas they can be found in old worlds.

[cosmic summit]

What's the best ax for chopping wood?

[tacit crystal]

The highest chop damage would be quality 3 Berserkir axes.

[rotund parrot]

I somehow never realised we could upgrade flametal weapon further if not modified with gems

[noble warren]

But where's the fun in that?

[shy marlin]

I find it kinda funny

[noble warren]

Makes sense

[rotund parrot]

Well just to get durability to chop wood but then again it doesn't kill mobs around with lightning

[noble warren]

Or perma stun a specific mini boss cough

[rotund parrot]

For that boss on my very hard playthrough I just made a level 1 wild staff with level 1 magic, didn't even use the magic armor, just ate pukeberries at the entrance, 3 eitr food, didn't even use a protection staff, kept it in the corner with vines the whole time and I was not worried in the slightest at any time

I hate that staff

I hate that I abused it

[shy marlin]

I mean you can do the same thing with a green flametal mace so 🤔

Just go golf swinging lol

[light moat]

Yep, I prefer to leave my weapons un enchanted for the most part. Able to get my weapons to quality 3

[rotund parrot]

didn't want to go anywhere near the thing

[noble warren]

More of a melee enjoyer myself as well

[compact ginkgo]

what do u guys think is the strongest melle weapon type

[noble warren]

Knifes if the Ashlands had one

[tacit crystal]

I might just defeat Ashlands content with non enchanted weapons next time.

[compact ginkgo]

i was litteraly just thinking that aswell

[compact ginkgo]

do u do the 5 atack combo tech or no

[noble warren]

Nah

[compact ginkgo]

were u block after the first swing

its makes knifes more fun imo

[rotund parrot]

I think for the first 2 third of the game knife is, then sword but an argument can probably be made for axes since they are very good lategame now on medium difficulty at least

[compact ginkgo]

i think frostner is rly good to until u get the mistwalker

[shy marlin]

no atgeir enjoyers?

[noble warren]

Kinda wanted another atgeir too

[tacit crystal]

Atgeir one of the strongest just for the secondary attack.

[noble warren]

Ngl, the range and damage of the bm one makes the Plains a cakewalk after you get it

[compact ginkgo]

did u guys know that u can do the secondary atack of early axes or berserkir without using stam

for movement

[tacit crystal]

Feather cape and dual axe secondary flying combo? Yeah.

[compact ginkgo]

no with a hammer

https://medal.tv/games/valheim/clips/m9YsF2NciForcaNBl?invite=cr-MSxRWGosMjI1NzYwOTE4&v=11

if u have medal u can look at the clip

[noble warren]

Oh, I remember seeing something like that

[compact ginkgo]

idk if its practical

it looks a little faster than not doing it

[tacit crystal]

Ah.

[noble warren]

That's when you just fenris, ask cape, ratatosk, nimble amulet, and just zip through everything with a skull and Hati

[shy marlin]

I tested this a while ago and couldn't find it to be better

[compact ginkgo]

how many attemps did u do

[shy marlin]

it also depends on how much you can slide if that makes sense

[compact ginkgo]

it could be tied to framerate

[shy marlin]

idk it was when ashlands came out

[sharp owl]

Is there an actual system behind, where the game puts items in containers? Seems like gear goes in the first slots and other things into the last slots of a container?

[solemn crown]

He wasn't so bad.

[compact ginkgo]

they need to add mistlands fists that do frost

[merry pebble]

Depending on item type/group there are different sorting patterns i believe, and for some of them they seem almost random

[shy marlin]

that'd certainly be cool

pun sort of but not really intended

[compact ginkgo]

chills

[tacit crystal]

Or fist weapon that blunts.

[compact ginkgo]

genius

[merry pebble]

Heh, true that 😄 none of current ones actually do blunt do they
-# Except empty hands ofc

[sharp owl]

not that it bothers me that harshly, but having items on the bottom by default makes it a bit more inconvenient

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, we have 2 with purely slash damage and 1 with mostly pierce.

[compact ginkgo]

they should make it so u can do the combo tech with fists 🙂

[noble warren]

Flametal knuckle dusters would be cool

[tacit crystal]

Carapace knuckles?

[nocturne wolf]

Why would they choose to add a bug to more weapons

[merry pebble]

That would be cool 😄 tho i am kinda hoping for some DN knuckle dusters

[noble warren]

Cause it's a bug weapon

[compact ginkgo]

they should add a fist with a 3 hit combo and the third swing is a uppercut that does 3x

and then also let me combo tech with it 🙂

[merry pebble]

Dont fists have 2x combo?

[tacit crystal]

2 hit combo with 2nd attack dealing 2x damage is quite strong tho.

[compact ginkgo]

yes

[noble warren]

Left right

[compact ginkgo]

it would be bonkers

[nocturne wolf]

1x 2x 3x but with low base damage might be interesting, right now we only get bonus damage on the final hit of most attack combos

and its always 2x

[compact ginkgo]

also give spear a combo 🙂

we also need an armour set that gives either like +15 to knifes or -25 percent stam usage with knifes

[shy marlin]

could be cool 🤔

[light moat]

Would like to see 2 handed clubs gets a combo

[granite grail]

What's the best secondary weapon? Frostner, mace, black metal battleaxe, etc? I use my sword mainly but also carry a blunt weapon and would love to carry a cool and effective plains-tier weapon

[tacit crystal]

-# Blatand suggestion marketing here: #suggestions message

[light moat]

No shame in that, I do it like… once or twice a week

[shy marlin]

[light moat]

There goes Dogg again, bringing up those damned plants!

[noble warren]

What if you wanted blueberry bushes but the big, jolly blue troll says smash

[light moat]

Pretty much have had that happen to me… numerous times lol.

[tacit crystal]

https://giphy.com/gifs/pWhsSxeGlwXVS

^But with berry bushes.

[torpid nest]

can yall disconnect kravoes in vc hes been sleeping

[light moat]

And I’ll be honest, it’s a mega bummer 😂
Watching your bushes and trees slowly dwindle as your world progresses brings sadness

[crude solstice]

does frost resistance mead do anything against moder?

[shy marlin]

it does if you don't have a cape that gives frost resist, fenris chest, or the wolf chest

[crude solstice]

but If i do it does nothing?

[shy marlin]

So if you have any of those it's useless

[crude solstice]

I guess then I crafted 6 frost resistance meads for nothing lul

[tacit crystal]

Decor.

[merry pebble]

I provides you with frost resistance, whic the other mentioned things also do 🙂 so you just need one of them to get it and more are unnecessary (in regard of resisting frost dmg ofc)

[crude solstice]

well, I'm on my way to fight Moder, wish me luck

[noble warren]

Gl

[crude solstice]

ofc the wind is in the complete opposite direction of the way I'm trying to sail...

[tacit crystal]

As Odin intented.

[noble warren]

I swear that's how the wind always seems to be while sailing

[shy marlin]

Murphy's Law: Valheim Edition

[solemn crown]

I am shocked at how big the raft is. I was expecting much, much smaller.

Is it gonna float off? Do I need to anchor it or something?

[noble warren]

Should stay where it it generally

Unless the sail is down

[tacit crystal]

Boats don't sail away itself.

And sails go down when it gets empty.

[solemn crown]

So if I jump off, it will "anchor" itself nearby?

[crude solstice]

yep

it wont move unless you are on it

[solemn crown]

Thanks! Have to admit, the boats gave me a big push to get this game.

[livid juniper]

best things to fight yagulth? its my first time

and i do like no dmg w the blackmetal gear

[noble warren]

Frostner imo

[livid juniper]

wat even is that

[shy marlin]

Silver sword is technically best

[tacit crystal]

Silver weapons are nice for extra spirit damage, sword and battleaxe having biggest amount of it.

[noble warren]

Craftable weapon after you find Haldor

[tacit crystal]

But black metal weapons should be good enough too.

[livid juniper]

haldor is the dude you buy mejendjord from

[noble warren]

Yes

[livid juniper]

its maxed out but does like no damage

[noble warren]

What weapon?

[tacit crystal]

Which one?

[livid juniper]

blackmetal sword

same thing for my flippin ice arrows

nothing does damage

[noble warren]

So, it does no damage at all? or it does very little chip damage

[paper marsh]

ice arrows are probably gonna suck, but blackmetal sword is just fine

He's just a tanky boi. Don't expect to find some weapon when you're at plains tier that will delete yag in 30 seconds

Best weapon, especially if you already have decent sword skill would prob be a maxed out silver sword, but it's not a huge improvement over blackmetal sword

[merry pebble]

It is improvement of 32 dmg, which is over quarter of the BM swords total dmg 🤔

[noble warren]

And it's silver

[crude solstice]

I mean people told me to bring 400 arrows for moder so the bosses in this game are quite tanky in general

[paper marsh]

exactly. Not a huge improvement

If you feel like you're doing no damage, 25% more than nothing will prob still be nothing

Especially if you have to go mine 300 silver or whatever it takes to make an upgraded sword

[merry pebble]

Still pretty significant imho 😄
But true i guess xD

[barren whale]

equivalent to like 20 skill levels

if you have a bm sword and are in a hurry use it

yag is the easiest boss to no-hit

[paper marsh]

Generally I find 25%+ to be a pretty good damage buff, but in this situation I don't think it's really going to change much about the underlying situation

[barren whale]

• don't use pierce
• don't use fire
  ez
  ice arrows actually do pretty well against yag compared to other arrows, even spirit because the frost is a larger fraction of the arrow dmg

[silk token]

400??? jesus. idk how people shoot arrows at a boss for an hour isntead of melee

[crude solstice]

idk, that just what I was told

[silk token]

her melee attacks are really easily telegraphed and most of the time she sits on a little hill and can't hit you whil we with our fancy new hitboxes can

[merry pebble]

Some people just miss that much 🙂

[rotund parrot]

Pretty sure I used arrows only first time I killed both elder and moder

[paper marsh]

same

[barren whale]

i think that's the strat if you're trying to kill her with a finewood bow and no armor 🤷‍♂️

[silk token]

best strat is just fight her normal and wait for her to cheese herself by landing on a pebble and biting and frost breathing over your head while you freely wail on her

[barren whale]

do it with early axes

[silk token]

imean it wouldnt be terrible

[strange cradle]

Moder is, IMHO actually one of the trickier bosses, if you're not very good at dodge-rolling and your weapon skill is not at least in it's 30's. All bosses prior to her can be killed with literally zero skill levels. Moder is the first boss to punish you when you have no decent skills.

I think Yagluth is the easier of both of them.

I just did a short expedition into Mistlands with a lvl 2 Fenris armor, lvl 3 BM sword and shield. It worked surprisingly well. I killed a Gjall with no fire protection and a lvl 2 Draugr Fang and Needles for arrows.

I didn't even get a scratch. 😉

The insect population was a different story. Fought two seekers and it was calling it close.

But the Fenris set gives you SO much mobility. You just jump around nilly willy, even without a feather cloak. It was a lot of fun.

[honest frigate]

VILES are actually so strong wtf bro

[noble warren]

Anyone else have a jerky chest filled with like 400 wolf jerky?

[strange cradle]

Yeah, I used Ashlands weaponry against them. 😉

[noble warren]

Silver sword/frostner wrecks viles

[wise mica]

is this the chat to find people to create a world with

[strange cradle]

Nope.

[noble warren]

#1024264966712340510

[paper marsh]

Hmm, I'd say Moder has very slow/predictable attacks so they can be dodged/outrun and she's not too tanky / resistant to damage types, but she's the first boss to do real heavy damage with some of her attacks

Whenever I play vhard I gotta break out the triple hp Mistlands+Plains+mountains food, wolf armor, and root harnesk to ensure I don't get one shot on the off-chance I do get hit

[merry pebble]

Taht would be #1024264966712340510 channel 😄

[wise mica]

im thinking about buying the game is there alot of multiplayer still

[strange cradle]

You can either find a server that is looking for people, or you have to roll your own.

[merry pebble]

You can certainly find plenty people wanting to play with others, but the game is really designed to be played solo or with few close friends 🙂

[thorny lake]

yes theres a bunch of multiplayer servers

[strange cradle]

Most servers want to have a look first at their new comrade.

[wise mica]

oh cool, thanks everyone

[strange cradle]

But you can also enjoy the game solo, as mentioned.

[wise mica]

ive been playing ark survival singeplayer but its not really meant for that

[strange cradle]

Not sure... but Valheim sure is. You can play it solo.

I've been playing it for the last four years or so solo.

[honest frigate]

WHAT IS THAT

[strange cradle]

It is a few biomes later in the game. 😄

Currently the last one.

It's fun running around the plains at night, getting chased by enemy X, Y and Z (don't want to spoil it) and then try to find a vile and then kill it without getting killed yourself.

[noble warren]

Black metal atgeir works wonders against them if you're using enough health food and are decent at parrying

[honest frigate]

i have bronze

[noble warren]

Well that's a start, but in fairness, I don't think that's going to do much to a vile

[honest frigate]

bro its because this whole time i thought i was supposed to be going to plains after swamp and i dont even have any iron and i thoughti was supposed to be beating these enemies as per the progression

i need flippin chains bro

[noble warren]

Ah, I see, well where you are it seems it would be swamp> mountains> plains

[fossil delta]

Silver sword and Frostner make me happy versus Yag.

[noble warren]

From wraith at night and from crypt chests

[fossil delta]

Wraith spawn consistently in specific areas.

[noble warren]

In the swamp yeah

[fossil delta]

Their raid can gain you a decent number of chains
You just have to get it.

[noble warren]

That too!

[honest frigate]

BR INM BEING CHASED BY 2 DRAGUER 2 WRAITH AND AN ABOMINATION

[honest frigate]

im trying 😭

and then ofc its swamp so theres nowhere to go

[noble warren]

If it gets too rough I wouldn't mind tossing a couple chains your way, I have a ton extra

[honest frigate]

im trying not to cheat

[noble warren]

Gotcha, that's why I said if it gets too rough 😉

[honest frigate]

otherwise i would've turned off skill loss on death its so baddddd bro

you lose two stat points per death

[noble warren]

Just wait till you start losing 5

[fossil delta]

Yeah, 5 off so many at once is really painful.

[honest frigate]

wait wdym wait 😭

it gets worse????

let me guess every boss you lose more skill points 😭 my gosh bro idk if i can take ts anymore

[fossil delta]

Then there is the 2, 3. 4 points off everything else.

[noble warren]

I wouldn't fret it

Skills are kind of a suggestion

[fossil delta]

It's a flat 5%, so the higher your skill...

So when several of my skills are around 90, and a bunch of others are 60 plus, dying really ticks me off.

[honest frigate]

so it takes 5% of the highest skill?

[fossil delta]

All skills.

[noble warren]

Yep...

[honest frigate]

wow

[fossil delta]

Yeah. Painful.

[noble warren]

Well not everytime, only if you don't have the condition no skill drain, which lasts 10 minutes since your last death

[fossil delta]

I tend to die once every 11 minutes.

[noble warren]

Checks out in the ash

[fossil delta]

Not really, but yeah. I rarely benefit from that.

[noble warren]

Feels more like a pity prize for dying lol

[fossil delta]

I average 6 deaths per play through.

[light moat]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but you can tone down the death penalty so you only lose 1 point in your skills per death

[fossil delta]

Like last time was 3. 2 of which were versus Fader.

[solemn crown]

Took my raft across the water, looking for burial sites on the black Forest coast. Discovered that I can't distinguish burial sites from troll caves.

[fossil delta]

Oops.

[noble warren]

Mhm

[solemn crown]

Died horribly. Realized I didn't have enough supplies for a second raft. Ran around the water. Recovered my body, ran to my raft for a quick getaway.

Rafts do not do "quick getaway," and trolls can wade quite a distance.

Will be running again.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, had an experience much like that. Pretty sure it was my first play through/character.

[mighty sky]

Hi I'm new. Is it okay to ask if any more experienced person or a beginner group could take me in? I am new and am playing for the first time, and think I could use help with getting the ropes down

[solemn crown]

Is mine. I'm learning a great deal, mostly the hard way.

[fossil delta]

#1024264966712340510

Finding a group can take lots of hours.

[honest frigate]

😭

[honest frigate]

it said if i do that im straying away from how the game is meant to be played

[noble warren]

That's the fun of it, you don't have to do anything linear

It just makes it more straightforward if you do

[fossil delta]

It's always up to you, but I suggest the full suffering at least once.

[noble warren]

Like the first time you enter a plains and get popped like a grape

In only bronze

[fossil delta]

There are people here who play on the hardest settings. Guess they like suffering.

[honest frigate]

so the wraiths only spawn when im being chased by an abomination and 5 draguer got it

[merry pebble]

*Whenever you dont want them to spawn 😄

[noble warren]

Sorta, it smells your fear

[tacit crystal]

Similarly when serpents spawn more frequently when you are sailing with boat full of iron.

[honest frigate]

another vile just spawn, yeah bro i learned my lesson 😭 ✌️

[honest frigate]

yeah what im thinking too

spent whole nighttime looking for wratih

[honest frigate]

omg bro idk how 😭

OMG ABOMINATION VS LOX?

[neon spire]

Is there like, a list of structures that can't be damaged? Like the swamp trees, meadows stone formations, etc.? Ive tried searching for it but haven't been able to find a set list

[stray swallow]

A good way to check is to.. well.. hit it

[noble warren]

Yep

[honest frigate]

nah the abomination got poppedl ike a grape 😭

[honest frigate]

isnt that a good thing

ohhh full of iron lol 😭

[noble warren]

Free roots 🤑

[honest frigate]

gotta get past the lox first ✌️

are roots even useful man

[stray swallow]

you fighting with a knife khalexio?

[tacit crystal]

They unlock the crafting recipe for root armor pieces.

[noble warren]

Super useful

[honest frigate]

isnt bear armor better

[honest frigate]

hmmmmm

[honest frigate]

no my favorite weapon is bronze atgeir

[stray swallow]

oh same. I use bronze atgeir right up to the point where it is not strong enough to stagger anymore

[tacit crystal]

Better is subjective. The chest piece itself grants you pierce resistance which is super effective for tanking hits from archers and other pierce damage dealing enemies.

[noble warren]

On a technically the root chest it considered the "best"

[stray swallow]

but knife vs lox is so much fun if you just run circles around it

[honest frigate]

chest piece of root armor?

i just enjoy the stam regen buff from the bear armor its free stamina and health regen too

[tacit crystal]

Full set grants you +15 bow skill levels. Helmet itself grants resistance against poison too.

[honest frigate]

very useful for swamp not going to lie

[tacit crystal]

But wearing any of pieces makes you weak against fire.

Which is not problem in swamp.

[honest frigate]

the torch gremling:

what they called again

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, torch fulings, shamans, cultists inside frost caves.

[honest frigate]

fuling*

[tacit crystal]

Which can be negated by using fire resistance wine.

[honest frigate]

oh yeah bro another thing i learned is that 1 star enemies will mess you up 😭

[honest frigate]

is that a mead i have to make?

[tacit crystal]

Yes, it's unlocked with materials in plains.

It will be useful even if you didn't use root armor.

[noble warren]

Oh you think 1 star is bad huh...

[honest frigate]

i've only seen 2 star leeches and greydwarfs and the leech luckily i wasnt in the water ✌️

oh yeah and the 1 time that 1 star elite drauger 1 tap me

[tacit crystal]

2 star bear is surely a sight to see.

[noble warren]

2 star troll ☠️

[honest frigate]

IS IT THAT BAD whats worse the log or the hands :sideeye:

[noble warren]

Log

It's like getting hit with a house

[honest frigate]

ALRIGHT night time wish me luck for chain 💔

[honest frigate]

LMAOO

[noble warren]

Luck be with you

[honest frigate]

have to avoid the lox and viles first 😭

the fuling killed the wraith for me W fuling ❤️‍🩹

[glass parrot]

Does this game perform good with multiple people on a server?

[noble warren]

Yes and no

[neon spire]

Usually depends on the server, but I use IndifferentBrocilli as a host and usually don't have any problems with 5-6 people on at once if you have scheduled restarts every day or so

[paper marsh]

I hear a lot of people have issues

Personally tjough i had no issues when playing with one person un-dedicated server or with 4-5 people on a dedicated server

[glass parrot]

Okay thank you, can Xbox players join a dedicated server I play on steam?

[hybrid orbit]

Any leaks of their other game yet?

[neon spire]

Yeah there's a crossplay option for most hosts you can enable

[honest frigate]

should i get hit by ts two star leech to see the damage or would i get 1 tap with 120 hp

[neon spire]

Pet the leech

[honest frigate]

son 😭

if not pet why pet shaped

[light moat]

Are you talking about Begraved?

[honest frigate]

the bear:

[noble warren]

Pretty sure you'd get 1 tapped

Unless you had poison resistance mead

[hybrid orbit]

thats iron gate other game?

[light moat]

Not Irongates other game necessarily, but a side project some of the devs are working on in their gf time.

[hybrid orbit]

i see,seems fun but no early access yet,thou a demo is good enough

[tacit crystal]

Girlfriend time?

[light moat]

You know what- I’m not fixing the typo 😂

[tacit crystal]

What were you even typing tho, I'm curious now.

[light moat]

Haha was supposed to be ‘free time!’

[tacit crystal]

Mm yeah, no company time used for developing that game.

[light moat]

Not like I would be bothered by that anyways lol

[last otter]

_ _

[neon spire]

Anyone have any ideas how id keep a deathsquito as a pet (without mods)? The only thing I've really been able to think of is seeing if I can dig a hole and iron bar the top

[noble warren]

Pretty sure you could build a stone box and when the deathsquito comes after you trap it inside and carefully replace one of the walls with iron bars so you can watch it

[crude solstice]

Fighting moder for the first time. Steaming for the entertainment value when I inevitably die.

[marble sable]

Does anyone else get extremely pissed off when they die in Valheim?

Especially when they run out of stamina

[gentle gale]

Only if it's due to not being able to pick up all my stuff from my body and not getting the corpse run buff

[marble sable]

True it’s very annoying when the mobs camp ur gear

[gentle gale]

I find that the biggest way to keep from getting frustrated by a death is to simply never be farther than about 2 minutes from a portal.

[marble sable]

Might do that tbh I rarely build portals

[gentle gale]

I've watched my idiot nephew do the same 5 minute corpse run for an hour straight. "bro. just build a portal closer"

[sharp owl]

All of a sudden my Wisplights aren't working anymore they don't clear the fog at all anymore.

[paper marsh]

Hey now be nice to your nephew

[gentle gale]

😄 I told him I was going to start charging him to recover his body for him

[noble warren]

Didn't doubt you for a moment

[frigid anvil]

Will wood break fully from rain alone?

[gentle gale]

no

it will go to about half and look a bit janky

[frigid anvil]

Well so most importantly I don’t have to worry about fixing bits of my base that get rained on

[gentle gale]

anything under a roof piece won't degrade

[north harbor]

Does anyone have any interest in a Tower Lox Farm photo tutorial?

Where the babies drop down into a pit so you have "unlimited" babies?

I'm considering, taking screenshots and posting my design.

[gentle gale]

How much do you have to worry about deathsquitos agro'ing on the lox and them stomping your build into dust?

[honest frigate]

bingus why is there a staircase in the swamp leading underwater?

[frigid anvil]

Yeah I know that, but I like having balconies and such

[noble warren]

SeaWorld

[honest frigate]

NO WAY SEA WORLD?

[noble warren]

Or you drown it's a 50/50

[frigid anvil]

Plains so far has been my favorite biome I think

[north harbor]

None, I made earth walls and have workbenches and fireplaces all over. I just have to drop in and repair the build every now and then.

[north harbor]

Swamp is mine

[paper marsh]

Mistlands is by far mine

[gentle gale]

Aesthetics? ML for me. gameplay? 7 way tie for me

[frigid anvil]

I really didn’t like the swamp 😭

I’m torn about the plains armor though

[frigid anvil]

Haven’t gotten to mistlands yet, but I’ve heard it’s good

[frigid anvil]

On one hand the vilebone armor set is what I want, mechanically, but also the padded armor is so cool looking

[gentle gale]

Padded I only use when I need it. Fenris 4 lyfe

[paper marsh]

A lot of unique and fun stuff yeah

I hear it's not the most fun time if you have certain disabilities or weakened senses tho

[frigid anvil]

I do like my lamellar armor is cool

[pliant hatch]

When it comes to looks, Mistlands is great.

Thing is, you won't see much of it, unless you are able to venture above the Mist.

[frigid anvil]

I’ve been using the fenris armor lol

It plus the claws have made the plains pretty approachable to get into imo

And with how open the map is

[gentle gale]

It's funny you say that because prior to the bear claws... I've never had any use for first weapons.

[frigid anvil]

It’s a really nice contrast with the swamp and the mountain

[paper marsh]

fist weapons are so goated

[gentle gale]

I always prefered the knife.

[paper marsh]

I'm glad they made them skip most biomes, otherwise I would be tempted to use them in every biome

Despite the fact that it's much more fun for me to change weapon every biome

I used to love the knife and spear, but I've been leaning more and more towards fist weapons since they got added to BF and Plains

[frigid anvil]

me too

[paper marsh]

they generally just feel like a better knife to me

[gentle gale]

that parry bonus on the bear claws just goes SO DAMN HARD and I do love it for that

[frigid anvil]

I used to really like shield + spear

[paper marsh]

A knife with the stagger of a battleaxe

[frigid anvil]

but the fists now feel super good

I might grab an atgeir in the plains here though, the fulings do like to be in large groups

[paper marsh]

I do so much more damage with sneak attack with fists too than with knives

[gentle gale]

I love knives for small groups of fulings because the attack comes out so much faster and those little shits run around sooo damn much

[frigid anvil]

that makes sense

[gentle gale]

spend five minutes chasing them in circles

[frigid anvil]

I also appreciate that the fist weapons have forced me to get better at the combat in this game

parrying and timing and such

before I used the very safe - and very boring - shield and spear poke and hide tactic

[north harbor]

I use the Root Armor Top in the plains. Deathsquitos don't harm me with that armor on m

[gentle gale]

I love the way the bear claws shred brutes. I feel like there was never a perfect weapon for them before.

[paper marsh]

Does it one-hit stagger them on normal?

[gentle gale]

no but you can get the 2 hit combo in after each parry

they drop like a rock

and even an un upgraded paws can parry them

[north harbor]

Once you understand to go slow in the swamp and keep your rest buff up you're golden. I always use a hoe to make paths so I'm not walking in water. I place fireplaces down to help with enemy spawns.

I dig up surtling Spawns and turn that into a coal/surt core farm.

[frigid anvil]

Oh yeah I mean I got through the swamp, I just didn’t particularly enjoy it

I got a bit tired of not being able to see, for one thing 😭

[gentle gale]

Swamp is the great filter of valheim. I swear half of everybody who's played it never made it through.

[north harbor]

I'm going to make a swamp treehouse stronghold in those unbreakable trees!

[paper marsh]

I find swamp a bit on the boring side too. Still great to play through but I prefer other biomes

Swamp is where you start unlocking a lot of OP shit tho

[tacit crystal]

Actually stagger power of atgeir (6x).

[frigid anvil]

I did take about a 6mo break because of the swamp lolololl

[north harbor]

Welcome back

[frigid anvil]

That was now a few months ago, I picked it back up around christmas

[paper marsh]

eh, I feel like they all have similar enough stagger per second

[tacit crystal]

Battleaxe secondary has 4x stagger, but half damage makes it effectively 2x of weapon damage.

[paper marsh]

But on the other hand it attacks much faster

I usually equate 1 fist kick to 2 battleaxe thrusts. Similar time and stagger to me

[north harbor]

I've been using the black metal axe and shield for the parry bonus.

I am up for a change of pace though. You use the bearclaws? I want to change my playstyle. I like carrying an axe because I'm constantly cutting trees for wood/building while in the field.

[thorny lake]

no valheim for 5 days since pc broke, really feeling the withdrawl:(

[paper marsh]

Yeah the claws are very nice. No movement speed penalty, pretty good parries, solid damage through a 2-hit combo which is a lot more flexible than many weapons 3 hit combo.

Secondary staggers just about everything (BF fist weapon can stagger a brute in one hit, Plains can stagger a fuling berserker in one hit).

And you also get 6x sneak attack multiplier, which if you intentionally miss your first hit and make the second hit connect you'll essentially be doing 12x damage on a sneak attack

[dim trellis]

are the hildir loot places super hard, or?

[gentle gale]

if you intentionally miss your first hit and make the second hit connect you'll essentially be doing 12x damage on a sneak attack | Oh man what a genius idea.

[gentle gale]

the bosses can be parried but they have pretty substantial health pools

[north harbor]

How does that work?

Sneak up, punch air then hit your target?

[north pecan]

if you are in the biome relevant gear, they are pretty difficult in my opinion.

[paper marsh]

basically yeah. Takes a bit to get the hang of, just gotta turn or walk closer slightly between the two hits. You can also take advantage of the first hit being wiht your right hand, and the second with your left hand. Use that hitbox to your advantage

Often times I'll just jump at an enemy, miss a hit while travelling through the air, then hit them with the second hit when I land by their butt

[north harbor]

Mainly loxes or what enemy do you do this for?

[paper marsh]

Eh any big enemies. Though generally I don't play all too sneaky. against big enemies I more like just kicking them to stagger them, then follow up with regular hits to stagger lock them and kill them

[glass parrot]

Oh okay perfect thanks!!

[sleek sky]

is it possible to scroll on an items description page to view stuff that is off the screen?

when examining some items, i cant read everything sincve there is too much and id like to scroll to read it

[fossil delta]

Only option I know of is the wiki.

[honest frigate]

is cooked lox meat good? the swamp food is better

[shy marlin]

nah not really

you'll want to use your raw lox meat for crafting stuff

[honest frigate]

bet that

[maiden kayak]

How is the new update fellas?

[rough mica]

(I've posted this in building aswell so sorry for the double message)

Heyo! I'm currently building big ol wizard tower, I've been getting along fine but I'm having trouble with a SINGLE 2x1 Stone block not being stable enough and crumbling, would anyone be able to help me 🙂

[fossil delta]

My wife and I have been happy with it.

[pliant hatch]

Are you using supports?

One thing you can do is using the iron grate as a supporting structure.
Another option is to put wood iron poles up as a skeleton, then build the stones around and over those poles.

[rough mica]

I'm several floors up, I can build the bricks to the left and right higher, just a single brick won't go any higher

[pliant hatch]

Which means the structural integrity is bad at that spot.
Hence my question.
Although I think you've already answered it without answering it.

[fossil delta]

Probably not "to ground" with that column.

[rough mica]

I've just stuck a wood iron pole in the actual middle of the brick and it's staying up now, none of the others have needed it, thanks vikfriends

[barren whale]

lox meat is kinda plentiful you can eat cooked meat and have the pie as well for cheap 2h

[storm sinew]

How long does it take for the ashlands boiling waters to start hurting you?

[novel axle]

8 to 10 seconds I think

[storm sinew]

Hmmm, so you have those seconds of open time to swim from one grausten pillar to another

[novel axle]

ya and if you're willing to take damage you can last just a little longer depending on how much health you have but it drains fast

[storm sinew]

I wonder if you still burn fast with the fire res potion?

[gentle gale]

I don't think FR helps with it

[wise mica]

I just got valheim is anyone is interested in creating a world i learn survival games fast

[gentle gale]

I suggest you play through the first boss solo before joining a server

It's a bit like a tutorial

[wise mica]

okay thanks

[solemn crown]

I was just hoping for this tree I chopped to knock down another on it's way over. Instead, my game crashed.

[silk token]

musta been an important tree

[solemn crown]

I just hope it saved since my last load of lumber.

[barren whale]

you probably reverted to like 10 minutes ago

turns out the tree in question was the yggdrasil

[storm sinew]

Do you guys still rock with either bronze pendant or iron brooch in the plains?

[shy marlin]

Up to your personal playstyle

I enjoy bronze pendant throughout pretty much the entire game, lots of people love the brooch

Trinkets are really whatever and not all that impactful unless in a boss fight

[mighty gate]

Valheim is updating?

Deep north?

[lunar sapphire]

In due time traveller, In due time

[mighty gate]

GTA 6 is gonna be out by then 😭

[lunar sapphire]

Good for Rockstar

[light moat]

If I had a dollar for every time someone has mentioned that GTA 6 is gonna be out before Valheim, I would be a millionaire 😂

[shy marlin]

GTA6 b4 valheim 1.0 just means you can play likely a very good game while you wait for deep north

[noble warren]

Or vise versa

[worn steeple]

Adrenaline comes in handy during quite a few of the raids as well.

[shy marlin]

yea ig that too

[noble warren]

Lands of ash too

[worn steeple]

And in certain dungeons, late-game.

[shy marlin]

i don't find trinkets to really be all that useful in dungeons or even ashlands 🤔

[noble warren]

Even the nimble one?

[shy marlin]

yea, I personally just never feel the benefit

[noble warren]

😲

[dark coyote]

I think trinkets should have both passive and active bonuses

[shy marlin]

as long as the passive are very minimal i'd agree

[noble warren]

^

[tired wing]

yoo

can any one help me

[dark coyote]

whats up?

[tired wing]

i found this wtich person waht should i buy from them ?

i can send u a ss if u want

[dark coyote]

no ass, ty though

[tired wing]

huh ?

[dark coyote]

really just serving tray and scythe handle,, and even then meh

[shy marlin]

Squirrel hamstring

[noble warren]

Yum

[tired wing]

it has no scythe handle

[tired wing]

alr bet

[shy marlin]

it's unlocked later after killing a boss, always go to back to the witch after you've killed a boss to see what new unlocks she has

[noble warren]

Feastables fr

[tired wing]

alr bet i also killed the broom she hasd nad got the broom is that usefull ?

[noble warren]

Dang

[shy marlin]

🤔 not really just kinda cool to have the broom trophy

[tired wing]

oh alr

[noble warren]

It comes back too after a few minutes I believe

[tired wing]

yeah it does

can yall help me advance in this game i havent unlcoked anything new in a while

the recent thign i unlcoekd was the tar thing

[noble warren]

In the plains?

[tired wing]

yeah

[storm sinew]

Can you actually block yagluth's right hand slam with a shield?

[tired wing]

whos that

[storm sinew]

The boss in the plains biome

[tired wing]

i havent found him i recently jjust found the plains biome but there pretty samll

[paper marsh]

Should be able to yeah. Though I imagine it still leaves a fire AoE that will cook you quick

[tired wing]

well i have the silver shiled

[storm sinew]

Yeah thats what im also thinking, the lingering fire damage yagluth will left after slamming to the ground

[tired wing]

i can share my screen if u want to sse what i have but ill be hella laggy

[paper marsh]

Did you kill mountains boss?

[tired wing]

nope waht deos the building look like to spawn it

teh only bosses ive beat are the elder n the dear

[paper marsh]

Always gotta kill the boss of a biome before going to the next one.

Mountains boss spawn platform is pretty small, just a round stone circle. But if you check around stone towers or even in frost caves you may find a vegvisir (red glowing stone) that shows her location

Should have also killed Bonemass (swamp boss). But if you managed to get silver without him, I guess you're okay

[tired wing]

yeah i got silver

[tired wing]

well i ahve found 3 moutians but no boss

and aslo like 5 diff swamps n no boss

[paper marsh]

Do you look for the vegvisirs? Usually coming across the boss spawn place itself is rare, but coming along the rocks that will mark it on your map is common

[tired wing]

for the mouitian i odnt think ive found any but for the swamp i have

[paper marsh]

yeah mountain ones are definitely a bit more rare. I'd just check the stone towers around the mountains for one, but may have to search a few mountains

I really don't recommend skipping any bosses, at least on a first playthrough.

Technically you can progress through the game without beating them, but it tends to require special tricks / exploits. Mountains boss is the one boss that is almost impossible to skip and still progress

[honest frigate]

i take it back atgeir best weapon in the game

[paper marsh]

I'd rank bow and ||magic ||above it, but yeah it's pretty OP

[honest frigate]

theres || magic ||in ts game?

[paper marsh]

Some forms yea

[honest frigate]

i just got ||poison|| arrows im ngl

[tired wing]

sorry for asking so many questions but this is my first time playing this gmae and ive only been playing for like 1-2 weeks . so what i need to do rn is look for hte mountain boss or waht else can i do ?

[paper marsh]

Yeah pretty much. Go search mountains, look for stones with red symbols in either stone towers or frost caves

[tired wing]

ive found one thas one with the wolf loking things right ?

[paper marsh]

Yeah frost caves have ||wolf people|| in them

Most the time I find the stone with the location in stone towers tho, they're more rare in caves

[tired wing]

alr bor thx for the help ima go double check if i missed it

waht weapons its the best to kill that boss when i find it

[paper marsh]

Much like the deer boss and Elder, it doesn't matter much. Most weapons will be very effective.

Bringing a bow can be helpful tho

[tired wing]

fire, needle, obisidian which arrows?

[paper marsh]

Personally I'd recommend not asking for too much help, some things are fun to discover for yourself!

The needle arrows are from 1 biome later though, so they generally are more powerful

After this boss though, I would try not to bring Pierce weapons to boss fights. The bosses start resisting that damage to make it harder for people to just sit at a safe range and shoot them with a bow

[tired wing]

oh alr then no more question sorry about that well thx for the help

[paper marsh]

If you get really stuck anywhere feel free to ask though, but I had a lot of help first time I played and kinda regret it

[tired wing]

for me i wanna know whats ahead so i can be prepared yk

[shy marlin]

yea valheim is best played without info

many of us here wish we could wipe our memories and go back to our first playthru

[tired wing]

what i would usally do in the situation is make one of my firneds buy the game n paly with at there pace so its basically ur first time playing

[sharp owl]

I've been searching through Mistslands for several hours now finding one Cave, that didn't even have a Core inside

I suppose this is just bad rng and the caves aren't even that rare?

[dark coyote]

many such games

[dusky anvil]

If anyone is ready and willing to, could they hop onto my world and hunt some serpents for me?

[pine oasis]

Hello!
I am new here can sm1 plz tell where I can buy valheim steam keys at a discount humble bundle always says restocking keys in your region....
If this is not the right chat to ask this where do I ask?

[dusky anvil]

Unfortunately, they may have to bring their own Karve components. Greydwarf pricks smashed my old one

As for how, it was mostly left lone near the river for a while

[lean sphinx]

is there an ETA on the final update?

[wet wolf]

not yet

[compact ginkgo]

if im holding a wood round shield with 6 armour then i a have a knife with 4x parry bonus in my main hand would i get 24 parry armour or would it use the 1.5x parry bonus of the shield

[dusky anvil]

Probably guessing shield

[unreal pike]

I watched a video by smittysurvival showing how to detail exterior walls by adding layers but I want too see other examples, do any of yall know where some are?

[strange cradle]

Ninebyte is very good as well. And "Hi, I'm Klaus". Very nice, cozy buildings.

But I love SmittySurvival.

[frozen fable]

Nobody answered your question so I will. Best way to find those infested caves are to look for stone stairs that lead upwards somewhere and usually that will take you to an infested cave, the other way is to look for those Dverger houses/buildings and sometimes there are no Dverger there but there are Seekers hanging around it, usually that means an infested cave is inside, down the stairs

[strange cradle]

And some Mistland areas simply don't have one, or maybe just one. You might have to try your luck somewhere else. Usually you will find tons of Mistlands continents and islands in a wide ring before the Ashlands or Deep North. So, there's plenty to go around. Don't hesitate to explore!

[strange cradle]

Valheim goes on sale every now and then, where it will be available for as cheap as 10 Euros/Dollars. So if 20 Dollars is too much, I would just wait till the next Steam sale.

[sharp owl]

Do you have to change the locations for the Sap Extractors. I mean is there diminishing returns on the same spot at some point?

[unreal pike]

The production rate does decrease over time per root but if you dont collect after quite awhile the extractor will still fill up and the root will fully rejuvenate

Most people have several extractors on several roots and some people rotate them around

[sharp owl]

yeah, I asked since it really seemed to me like it slows down siginificantly, thanks.

[strange cradle]

Yes, I would have either two roots that you source in an alternating manner, or just wait till the root refills. If you hover over it, it will give you a hint.

[tacit crystal]

If you parry with your weapon then it uses the properties of the weapon, if with shield then shield takes priority and parrying uses shield's properties.

[marble comet]

Bouta try valheim with a gtx 570ti someone wish me luck

[toxic wave]

https://tenor.com/view/dih-gif-2027141031801679946

[ancient sand]

You can get cheap keys from reputable sources like loaded or instant gaming.

[dusky anvil]

Would anyone be down later this evening to hunt down some serpents for me?

Bonus if you can get the scales and head. The main 2 prerequisites are to be somewhat experienced with this and likely bring your own Karve components. Environment and Greydwarves destroyed my old one

[red coral]

So my friend and I finally got around to landing on the ashlands

He jumped off the boat, ran into a bit of trouble and sensibly escaped. But then couldn't jump out of the water onto the spire and died.

It's okay! I can just place the portal, right?

Nope. I am short 10 finewood for some reason

So I turn the boat around, pick up a bit of speed, and start cruising ahead. Voltures attack!

Like an idiot I jump off the helm briefly to kill them, but can't seem to land a hit with my sword

Crunch! My boat is halfway up the beach and cannot be reversed

Charred are destroying it. I kite them away and kill them, build a workbench and repair it only to discover that a drakkar cannot be pushed like a longboat can

So I spend what feels like half an hour hacking at my own boat while my friend sails a longboat to the edge of the ashlands with the remaining 10 finewood I need to make him a portal

Surprise! The drakkar drops the finewood I need for the portal anyway, so I build one and return to base, intending to go straight back with the total finewood required, except the only finewood we have left is with my friend on a longboat at the edge of the ashlands

Long story short, we finally got established at the ashlands and found a putrid hole right next to our portal with the vehvisir and enough molten cores to get started on moving stuff over

So honestly I don't know what people are complaining about. Ashlands is easy, it's my own idiocy that's gonna be harder to beat

[chrome badge]

I love reading Ashlands stories.

[tacit crystal]

There is this saying that we are our own worst enemies.

[candid basalt]

My landing this seed wasn’t too bad. Found a ruin about 60 meters offshore, killed a bunch of voltures and set up a portal. Then started on the beach. Died a couple times, took out two spawners and found a pit with no morgen in it. So now I can transport everything to make a base. Buddy used my portal and managed to clear a fortress by himself so he has a safe spot too. And I tamed two 1 star asksvin but that was a pain

Oh and killed at least 8 bonemaws while sailing there

[near furnace]

the cunning player beats ashlands easy 🤔

[paper marsh]

A mighty story to tell your grandchildren one day

[near furnace]

"I was there, pre-nerfed ashlands"

[merry pebble]

“I was there, Gandalf Smiffe. I was there three thousand nearly two years ago. I was there the day the strength of Men failed.”

[strange cradle]

I actually did make the journey to the Ashlands pre-nerf... but not with the Drakkar. I didn't have one, because I had yet to beat the Queen. I used a throwaway Karve, and sailed as fast as I could to the first spire that came in sight. I just made it, before the boat fell apart and sank. From there on, it was spire hopping, one after the other, and hoping that I didn't die.

I actually made it to the Ashlands.

I also would've survived there, if I would've known what I know now. But I did make it. 😄

[candid basalt]

Our first group to hit Ashlands was a bloodbath. So many sunken drakkars, so many deaths. We would distract the mobs while our builder focused on earth walls. Took a lot of attempts before we had a portal that didn’t get destroyed

[strange cradle]

Yeah, took me a while to realise to just build a portal on the last spire in front of the beach, where the mobs on the beach can't reach it.

From there on, it was pretty smooth sailing.

Not that it was easy... 😛

[paper marsh]

For me it takes the fun out of the game to build on unreachable spots. I like to engage with the enemies

[strange cradle]

Oh... there's enough "engagement" in the Ashlands. 😄

And they're not completely unreachable. Voltures can reach them easily.

I had to defend my portal from voltures more than once.

Valkyries come to mind as well.

[chrome badge]

Voltures aren't a challenge sir 😅

[strange cradle]

In packs they are, especially when you're just arriving there for the first time.

[chrome badge]

I took them down with a finewood bow and wooden arrows 🤷

[strange cradle]

I was pre-occupied with tons of charred, as a pack of voltures gangbanged me.

ALONE, they're easy.

[chrome badge]

Even in a pack tbh

[strange cradle]

Maybe for you. Not for me. 😉 Especially when being harassed by tons of Charred.

[chrome badge]

I just dislike earth wall strats, don't mind me.

[paper marsh]

I thought the charred couldn’t reach the spires

[strange cradle]

Well, I meant on the beach.

[paper marsh]

But tbh never been on one for long

[strange cradle]

Not when I'm on the spire. And yes, the point is not to stay there for long.

[paper marsh]

Yeah on the beach anything can be challenging when there’s a lot approaching you all at once

[strange cradle]

Exactly.

I usually can deal with Charred and Voltures... but sometimes, when you're health is already fairly low, a pack of Voltures that arrive seemingly out of nowhere can be your death.

[chrome badge]

I've never had that happen, but I also keep that Tasty Mead stocked

[strange cradle]

Again, just Voltures I can deal with. The problem is when you're already swamped with Charred, and then all of a sudden a flock of them arrives.

[nocturne wolf]

Voltures can't move while they're attacking and also they avoid fire so you can hold a torch or step back

[chrome badge]

Swamped isn't a thing when your stamina can essentially jump to full in 1 button press.

[strange cradle]

You still need to get away from them, and I don't like to just sprint of in one direction that might lead me into even more Charred.

[nocturne wolf]

if you press c to walk slowly that can still be enough to avoid a volture's attack

[strange cradle]

But yeah, I'm also old and slow...

[chrome badge]

Running away is key in a lot of engagements

[strange cradle]

Depends on where.

In Ashlands it's rarely a good idea, unless you know you can make it.

And yes, running away is often a valid strategy.

[chrome badge]

Ashlands is fine, nothing can keep up, you can lead anything following into dvergr, or dip into a putrid hole.

[strange cradle]

My point is, in the heat of battle, when you're health is already low, and you're surrounded by Charred, a flock of Voltures can be your death. Doesn't have to be, but can.

I have no problems with Ashlands. 😉

[chrome badge]

I guess I am just offering advice if your point is that it can happen, it can, but shouldn't with just one helpful mead and knowledge of how to shake a tail.

[strange cradle]

That's alright. I was just retelling some of my adventures in Ashlands. I rarely use Tasty Mead, and I know I probably should, but I often do forget in the heat of battle to apply potions. I'm just an old man with bad reflexes and too much panic. 🙂

[lone rampart]

Too much panic, not enough disco

[rain cairn]

hi everyone, I just come back to Valheim after a bit. can someone help me understand which branch should I be playing on ?

[candid basalt]

The one that connects to Midgard

[rain cairn]

my understanding is that default public has early axes changes, and public-test have the bear update ?

[candid basalt]

Seriously though, what do you mean by branch

There are bears in regular

[rain cairn]

well steam game version is the right world I guess

[rain cairn]

I see, thanks

[cosmic igloo]

any plans for better inventory? trinket has shrunk it even more

[shy marlin]

They made a post asking about inventory changes a few months ago but no confirmations

[thorny lake]

inventory space isnt bad

if you’re doing one thing at a time

[red coral]

Do ashwood buildings survive in the ashlands?

[steel mica]

Nope

[red coral]

I'm building the floors and stairs of our little base out of grausten but I don't know if I cbf making the walls and roof too

[storm sinew]

I think its probadly safe to build ||shield generator|| just to avoid any stuff to get caught on fire

[red coral]

Oh yeah I forgot I have those

Weird fkn things

Now I have the stone portal, which by the way, is exactly too fkn big

I guess I can bring them across

[paper marsh]

The test branch and live branch have the same updates currently. There’s nothing actively being tested

[red coral]

Do the vendors get anything new after bearing the queen?

[static raven]

Bog Witch will have a new ingredient for you @red coral

[shy marlin]

👋 hey k2

[static raven]

Hi Scales 👋🏻

[granite grail]

Are the bog witch candles permanent? 🙏

[gentle gale]

they will burn down but you get the wick back

just have to use another resin to re-craft it

[granite grail]

Okay well that's not so bad lol

[gentle gale]

they look really good with the new garlands

[granite grail]

I wish there was another permanent light source in the game lol

Surtling trophy is the only one I know of

[gentle gale]

dvergr lanterns

[granite grail]

Ohoooo :OOO

I'm not past plains yet haha I can't waitttt

[gentle gale]

hanging braziers are my all time favorite. they burn forever and put out a really nice light

[granite grail]

So true lol I love them

[gentle gale]

I always budget for 4-5 of them in my endgame base

[granite grail]

I have one hanging on the top of my house so the entrance is always lit when you come to the doors

[gentle gale]

oh yeah, they look so good outside too

[granite grail]

My friend has his entire base covered in the blue standing braziers 😂

[gentle gale]

I'm too much of a portal-holic to be able to afford spending eyes to keep those lit

[granite grail]

Yeah I run into that problem with the blue torches

But yk if you dig out a pit around a greydwarf spawner so that it's levitating, you can put some tame wolves in the pit and farm the greydrawfs that spawn and get killed

[gentle gale]

been playing five years and I've never once built any sort of auto farm.

[shy marlin]

Only "farm" I do is finding a swamp with surtling cores and making a route for free coal/cores

[gentle gale]

Yep. that I'll do

feels intended

[granite grail]

Nice. I don't mind it. It's something an expieranced player in our world set up

I just think it's neat, being creative with everything the game gives you lol

[gentle gale]

Oh I love me some cheese when you can get it. Like building earth columns in boss fights to break LOS.

[paper marsh]

I like creative but hate cheese

[steel mica]

You hate cheese? 🥺

🧀

[paper marsh]

In games yeah

IRL no, but I do try to go easy on it bc it's not the healthiest thing

[obsidian nymph]

how long do you guys use bear equipment for?

[gentle gale]

plains

[paper marsh]

I'll usually swap to root armor once I get it, to get poison and pierce resist

[gentle gale]

seriously though, i'll do the legs and chest until I can replace them with fenris

[tacit crystal]

Bear -> Fenris for me.

[paper marsh]

If playing on normal and having access to poison resist mead, I'd probably do bear until fenris

I will say though, the plains vile armor is so nice

[gentle gale]

farming those things is such a major PITA though

I'm lucky if I can find 2 a night

[paper marsh]

Been a while since I farmed them but didn't seem like a big grind to me

I'd find 1-2 per night which is decent, and if iirc you don't need many drops to craft/upgrade the armor and weapon if you have some hide leftover from killing regular bears

[gentle gale]

If you're not maxing them out it's not so bad but you need 24 ribs for q4 everything which can take a while.

[paper marsh]

That's fair, I may not have brought all the armor to q4

[tacit crystal]

I enjoy the hunt.

My group was also thrilled by the addition of viles to the game.

[paper marsh]

The buffs are far superior to bear though. Compared to bear, that +25% stamina feels sweet, and 10% more damage (applying to both pierce and blunt, rather than just slash) feels really nice to me. Makes it fun to pair with a spear or crossbow.

I imagine the blunt is cool for embers or porcupine

[gentle gale]

I do like them. They make plains properly dangerous at night.

[paper marsh]

I like dragging them over to a tar pit to kill them quickly

[tacit crystal]

I recall I might have suggested something for plains night long time ago, maybe berserkers.

Viles is good addition for plains nights.

[gentle gale]

although night fulings are a true danger, god they're hard to spot, doubly so if there's stars in the mix.

[paper marsh]

I'm a fan of armors having useful set bonusses too

Too much optimized mix-n-match with root and fenris and heavy helmets

[merry pebble]

#suggestions message
-# Indeed it was bersekers you suggested

[tacit crystal]

Root armor should have pierce resistance as set bonus instead of just chest piece.

[paper marsh]

Yeah that's how I play. Not allowed to equip root harnesk unless I'm wearing root mask and leggins too

[gentle gale]

eh. one of the things I love most about fenris is the benefit from one or two pieces.

[shy marlin]

same

the pierce reduction is prolly a bit too op to just be a singular piece imo

[paper marsh]

Not saying all bonusses should be set bonusses, or that non-set bonusses should suck

Just nice that the set ones are actually useful and the non-set ones are not ridiculously OP comparatively

[frigid anvil]

The swamps never go away, do they

Always you need more iron 😭

[paper marsh]

Like I personally feel troll set bonus sucks and I would never run full troll armor specifically for that bonus, but harnesk bonus is just too good and I'd be willing to run just that armor piece for that bonus 4 biomes later

[shy marlin]

they could also just nerf root chest bonus

[marble sable]

I died in a troll cave and every time I go back in he kills me instantly before I can click to get out

[marble sable]

what do I do

[paper marsh]

Get good at dodging to avoid his attack, grab your stuff, and run out

Or grind back new gear to make it safer to go in and get your stuff, or potentially kill the troll

[marble sable]

nah he's literally right there at the enterance

like he's got a shot wound up before I can even get out

and he won't leave

like I enter, he's right there, I turn around, and BOOM dead

[paper marsh]

Maybe eat 3 health foods, should be able to tank the hit. At least if its a punch and not a slam

[marble sable]

I'll try that thx

[paper marsh]

But I think with good timing you should be able to dodge before he hits you. Dodging gives i-frames

[gentle gale]

honestly, even once I'm in AL and have stone portals I still get my iron from swamps. Getting iron from ML is just such a PITA.

[honest frigate]

alright this the second time i see a dark shadowy figure disappear in front of me

whats to come 👀 👀

[gentle gale]

😄

I love posts about him so much because it means new people are still playing the game 😄

Bastard was standing in the middle of my turnip patch once. scared the sh*t out of me.

[paper marsh]

Shhhhh, you don't see me here. I am simply a turnip. shhhh

[frigid anvil]

lox = lizard ox?

[honest frigate]

LOL

[honest frigate]

im not new i have bronze 😠

[gentle gale]

oh my sweet summer child 😄

[honest frigate]

i thought he wsa from the mountains but he just appeared near the ocean 👀

[merry pebble]

Language! Show some respect to our father.

[honest frigate]

you may be onto something

[gentle gale]

How did I never work that out before...

[near furnace]

yeah. how?

[marble sable]

I can't plant the ancient seed?

what is this north korea

[merry pebble]

Nope 🙂 those are not for farming

[gentle gale]

they are used for another use.

[marble sable]

1984

[gentle gale]

technically you can plant them but only in one particular spot and they grow something... pretty big.

[marble sable]

oooh

fancy

[light moat]

• Father

[frigid anvil]

I am so glad that you can teleport nails

[gentle gale]

How much luck have you all had finding the "Early Axes"?

[honest frigate]

wha should i do with this cooked dear and boar meat throw it away?

[gentle gale]

the dear meat is used in deer stew cooked

the boar meat... maybe chuck it.

[honest frigate]

hmmmmmm

[gentle gale]

or just build another chest and forget about it

[steel mica]

Atleast boar meat can be used for sausages

[gentle gale]

he already cooked it

[steel mica]

Ah

[shy marlin]

cooked boar can be used in a feast

[steel mica]

Feed the rest to the wolf

[gentle gale]

oh that's right!

[steel mica]

I often dont eat the early feast

[gentle gale]

yeah, and probably not a lot of it if at all

[shy marlin]

i only know cause i use the feasts for decor

[gentle gale]

god i love feasts so much.

[steel mica]

Only until I get to plains is when I start incorporating feast in my diet

[gentle gale]

really? I'm all about that seafarer's and swamp feast

[steel mica]

Theres feast for every current biome

[gentle gale]

finally made the AL one for the first time last week. Looks really good

[steel mica]

Foods with 3 stats = very good

Versatile diet

[nocturne wolf]

Vineberries and magecaps?

[steel mica]

Well maybe not eitr

[gentle gale]

makes it really easy to get to being able to summon skellies

[steel mica]

and that 😅

[steel mica]

But more specifically foods that give decent values for all 3 stats are really nice

[gentle gale]

Yeah, prior to feasts all the split stat foods were pretty terrible

[steel mica]

ML and AL feast are currently imo the best feast imo

[shy marlin]

mist + ash feast combined with a stam food is a pretty good hybrid build

[steel mica]

I run magic heavy build so marinated greens

[gentle gale]

looooove me some marinated greens

[steel mica]

Quite strong with access to magic and decent survivability

[gentle gale]

I always hate it when I struggle to find a vineberry village on a new world.

[steel mica]

vineberry village?

[gentle gale]

eh, those apartment buildings where you find the grapes

[shy marlin]

are vineberries still bugged?

[gentle gale]

they seem better

[steel mica]

Nope they good now

[shy marlin]

I'm skeptical

[steel mica]

But the vineberries do need a few seconds for them to pop into existence

Similar to blueberries in BF

[gentle gale]

I don't usually bother with farming them. Can usually just stock up from an existing structure easily enough

[shy marlin]

yea that's what i do

[gentle gale]

might plant a few for aesthetics though

[shy marlin]

just pondering if it would be wise to get an actual farm going for the deep north prep

[steel mica]

Yes

[gentle gale]

although I hate that they won't grow under an overhanging roof

[steel mica]

Pretty or not make prep

I have an iron chest full of potions

And chest full of food all 3 types of the best and the 2 best feast atm

eitr, stamina, and health respectively

So im well stocked for deep north

[gentle gale]

Yeah but do you have any sweetbread?

[steel mica]

Im not gonna bother farming chicken eggs

[gentle gale]

just got spend 1000g on one 😄

[shy marlin]

yea if there's eggs gg for me

[gentle gale]

my chicken coops are always so much nicer than my actual house

[steel mica]

The thing about chicken its a has 2 different important resources

Chicken meat and the egg itself

[gentle gale]

and feathers

[steel mica]

Chicken meat for the honey glazed chicken

Eggs for mushroom omelette

So its hard to farm

[gentle gale]

I usually just let em free range around the base as a decoration

[steel mica]

You'll have plenty even all the way to ashlands

[shy marlin]

hmm maybe i'll make a plains base and have a chicken farm there, they also give feathers right?

[steel mica]

I still have quite alot of feather

[gentle gale]

and if a deathsquito gets em then <shrug>

[shy marlin]

eh you can make a nice shack for em

[steel mica]

Asksvins still don't have a limit to their entity cap

So just breed an army

I have like 2 sides of the my ash fort completely overrun with 2** asksvins

And they're like a giant wall

Even a valkyrie dont stand a chance

[paper marsh]

Alternative strategy: Ballistae

[shy marlin]

Ballistas

[paper marsh]

either or

[light moat]

Oh shoot, are we discussing chickens? 👀

[gentle gale]

aaaand that's 5k hours played.

[shy marlin]

huge

[steel mica]

[paper marsh]

In commemoration, you should build 5000 bases on your current world

[sweet pelican]

5 000 000 bases.

[gray cairn]

1 million bases, for 1 million dollars

[jagged crag]

yooo! new valheim playa here

[fossil delta]

Welcome to the "club". Maybe we should create a name for it.

[paper marsh]

welcome playa

[gray cairn]

My most played game on PC had 400. On PS4/5 it's 700.

5k is impressive

[paper marsh]

Valheim is my most played game I know of (just shy of 1k hours)

I did play quite a lot of minecraft and destiny once upon a time though, wonder how long I spent on those

[fossil delta]

People with far more hours have posted here, and they don't work at IG either.

Grimm is in the 5000 hour club, and I believe Smiffe is at least close to 6000.

So to be on par with people who work on the game...

[strange cradle]

I'm not sure how much I have, since I play mostly the App Store version these days, but I bet it's at least 3.000 plus.

Probably more.

Probably.... WAY more.

[fossil delta]

Mine are all via Steam. So it's accurate in my case.

My wife is closing in on 3000, and she still works, and does a fair amount of over time.

[gray cairn]

Man, I always struggle to name my new characters

[strange cradle]

If I can trust the "stats" command... which I'm not sure I can since it does show obviously erroneous information, my most played character has over 1030 hours accumulated in his two mostly played worlds...

[gray cairn]

If it's not your job, it is pretty crazy

[strange cradle]

Add another 50 from the other worlds...

[fossil delta]

I only have the hours I do because I am retired. I have been since 2017.

[gray cairn]

This game has quite a few people who are on the older side, no offense, I've noticed. If I had parents, I'd like to think they'd play.

[strange cradle]

Retired here as well. But I've been playing before I retired. 😉

[gray cairn]

I can't wait to retire. Still got 32 years to go!

[fossil delta]

I wish our kids would play with us, but they only like games we don't. 😄

[strange cradle]

Yeah, my wife sadly doesn't like Valheim either.

[indigo linden]

Then you should get a new wife

[fossil delta]

I am very glad mine does.

[strange cradle]

We've been married for over 30 years now. 😄

[candid basalt]

Mine loses interest after mountains

[fossil delta]

My wife and I are working on our 36th year.

[gray cairn]

I might be your wife 🤣

[strange cradle]

I'm not sure the stats command is accurate... Oh well...

[candid basalt]

nah, she wont be seen dead on discord 😛

[strange cradle]

This is our 32nd year.

[fossil delta]

Incognito then? 😆

[candid basalt]

25 years as domestic partners.. we both got burned with first marriages. We might make it official soon just to make will/funeral planning easier

[gray cairn]

Working on my 7th with mine 😄

[candid basalt]

maybe, we don't even tell each other our social media aliases.. But she would know mine in a heartbeat

I've used this name since early days of WoW as an undead priest 🙂

And now I play an undead viking... I have a type

Necromancy

[strange cradle]

Ok, Valheim-Steam says over 1600 hours... and that matches roughly what the stats command shows. But I have a lot of hours under my belt in Valheim-AppStore... Hrm...

[fossil delta]

My wife stays off media now a days. For work related reasons.

[candid basalt]

Yeah we are real careful with what we put out there. It shocks me how much people share online

[fossil delta]

They track you, so you should be able to know what they know. Maybe they just kinda hide it?

[candid basalt]

And this aint general chat... oops. So anyway When is deep north (kidding)

[strange cradle]

Undead priest and mage as well.

What can I say? I like my undead. 🙂

[twin raft]

Maybe get a second wife then?

[gray sand]

No?

[candid basalt]

Swamps has the best ambiance for me.

[strange cradle]

Yes.

[fossil delta]

Not Ashlands?

[candid basalt]

I like spooky more than hell on earth

[fossil delta]

I'd be happier if Ashlands didn't even exist, so not going to argue in it's defense.

[slow flicker]

Ill be happier when we finally get the deep north update lol

[gray sand]

I'm nervous about that update tbh.

[fossil delta]

After this winter, I want exploding trees in Deep North.

Anyone not aware of this phenomenon can find plenty of videos on the internet from this winter.

[merry pebble]

I am aware of this, and also that quite large chunk of the videos are fake 😄
(Still plenty of real ones tho)

[placid zenith]

I second this idea

[gray sand]

I just worry for how much they are going to change in the final update.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they are faking a wide range of things now a days.

[placid zenith]

That's a good point also

[gray sand]

Satis was like 9/10 until 1.0 when they over-casualized everything and (to me, personally) dropped to a 6/10.

[woeful cobalt]

dimensional depots watered it down a lot

[gray sand]

Those were the biggest 🤢 thing they did, but they also changed a lot of recipes and building costs to make everything easier.

[placid zenith]

Imo, not everyone wants to play a game where a single mistake can cost you hours, if not days or weeks, of work and effort

[gray sand]

That's a very valid opinion to have.

[fossil delta]

I don't think we have to worry about IG suddenly wanting to be merciful.

[gray sand]

My concern specifically about Valheim mainly is in "what are they going to do with inventory?"

Because there are logical answers and then there is the "add the 32 slot backpacks so I never have to think again plz" people...

[gentle gale]

I always wanted a flametal cart I could hook up to an Ask

[fossil delta]

I still want my trader wagon with a lox team. So don't hold your breath

[gentle gale]

Yeah I'm not. I've made due for 5k hours no mods. I'm sure I'll be fine with DN

[fossil delta]

5300 and no mods, so yeah, I will survive.

[gentle gale]

I always say I've never used mods but I've got a world with some 2 star loxes on it because I wanted to make the game harder before they put in the world modifiers.

it was not fun

[fossil delta]

I stopped using parry and dodge roll way back when for the same reason. Maybe with the new settings I might use them again

[gentle gale]

honestly backstepping is so OP

[fossil delta]

Yeah. I don't do that either.

[gentle gale]

so I'm picturing you just facetanking everything all the time.... sounds... boring?

[fossil delta]

Probably would be if you still couldn't die so often

[gentle gale]

What's your take on the harder difficulties? Honestly I'm just so used to the defaults I don't really enjoy them much.

[frigid anvil]

I just realized I never put Moder’s head on the center thing

And I have no idea where it is

[gentle gale]

LOL. I forgot to pick up my swamp key on my current world. Had to go drop elder again

I'm really curious about what's going on in that active voice chat... I'm assuming it's just some people playing together on a server...

[fossil delta]

Many just watch. Or at least used to.

[tacit crystal]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202174832729661470 might be better channel for that topic.

[honest frigate]

after being here for a while, and crafting the root armor, the swamp biome feels like my home

[candid basalt]

Making swamp castles with green torches is fun

[honest frigate]

omg with stone walls ts sound hella tuff

[gray sand]

I like using blue in the swamp to really make my structure stand against the draugr ones.

[candid basalt]

oh yes, blue is good too

[honest frigate]

TWICE the wraiths jumpscared me bro

[chrome badge]

[gray cairn]

I know skills are generally useless for the most part, but what level do yall generally try to keep them at?

Like ~70?

[light moat]

Are skills useless? 🤔
