valheim-chat

[storm sinew]

The adventures of traveling in ocean with boats is always fun

[steel mica]

I would first like to do the immersive playthrough, no map, no portals, just guts and wits

[paper marsh]

To me, yes and yes

But honestly it's up to the person. Don't treat something as cheating just because others do

[steel mica]

So light houses will immensely useful for sea travelling

[paper marsh]

Like I find elemental resist meads in valheim to be kinda OP and detracting a lot from armor choices. So I ban them from my game and never use them.

Does that mean that everyone else should do that? Of course not. For a lot of people and especially new players they're a welcome or even necessary addition to the game

[steel mica]

THOUGH I have one problem with no portal

Its when I'm building something big

Or something far away

from main base

[noble warren]

Just have to start over with what's on that island I'm afraid

[steel mica]

Drakkr will actually have some utility in no portal runs for carrying supplies

Though overall the longship will be the best

[torn folio]

How many times have you started a new world @steel mica

[steel mica]

6

2 finished to ashland

1 is newly made
3 was old iron age progression

[fossil delta]

I've lost count. Easily 30 worlds or more.

[torn folio]

Nice

[fossil delta]

Only 4 into Ashlands, and only 1 were I beat Fader.

[noble warren]

30 holy moly

[torn folio]

Wow!

[steel mica]

I probably put like 300+ hours each on both my finished worlds

[fossil delta]

I have over 5300 hours. So it may be considerably more.

[noble warren]

I've done like 4 and one was just to get a second reto fight 😭

[steel mica]

I didn't bother getting the dyrnwyn

[torn folio]

Do you just enjoy completing all bosses and starting over?

[fossil delta]

Me either.

[steel mica]

Mastery, Challenge, and also feeling like a new born viking warrior again

[noble warren]

I got the first one after dying like 6 times, and the second I just used primal axes and did it the easy way

[steel mica]

Jade is kind of underestimated

Me including

[noble warren]

It's definitely a good big enemy stopper

[torn folio]

How's your current world going rn @steel mica

[fossil delta]

A lot of mine has just been game mastery, but about 3000 hours of it has just been having fun playing Valheim with my wife.

[steel mica]

Finished

[torn folio]

Are you starting a new world?

[paper marsh]

If I've had 3 times the worlds that Robert has, does that mean I have 15,000+ hours?

[steel mica]

Not after deep north

[storm sinew]

It seems like charred fortress is the best place to establish your ashland base

[noble warren]

Yes

[steel mica]

The new one was just me testing out the early axes

Its hella strong in blackforest

[paper marsh]

Most like it yeah

Personally I hate it

[noble warren]

?

Fort hating?

[steel mica]

Theres a reason

[fossil delta]

I'm just guessing how many worlds I have played on. I'd have to go through my game files on several computers to even have a solid idea as to how many worlds I've actually done. 😄 😄

[noble warren]

Warlocks

[steel mica]

Even I sometimes hate making fort bases

But I have no choice if I wanna survive on the ashlands

[storm sinew]

I'm also gonna get me a green good boy in ashlands that i will use all the time for the flametal ore 🙂

[paper marsh]

I mean I do hate forts in general yea, they could have been so much cooler, like the original concept art.

But specifically for basing in, I don't like them because the indestructable walls kinda ruin the mechanics of having to defend your base

[noble warren]

Ah

[fossil delta]

I much prefer building my own base in Ashlands. I take far too long to even find Citadels to wait to use one of them.

[noble warren]

All fun and games till a Morgan or lava blob catches on

[storm sinew]

Do you guys have green good boys in your ashlands base?

[paper marsh]

Forts also aren't particularly pretty imo

[noble warren]

No, I eat all the greens

[torn folio]

I plan on starting a new random world soon then.

[noble warren]

The purples though

[steel mica]

I do

[fossil delta]

Asksvin? No, I take them to a meadows base and breed them for mats and food.

[steel mica]

I have my current fort dedicated to beeeding 2** stars

and it works flawlessly

[fossil delta]

I don't play around long enough to develop my base defenses in Ashalnds once I beat Fader. I hate the Ashlands too much to spend more time than I have to in that biome.

[steel mica]

I hate Ashlands too dont get me wrong

But I do enjoy the combat there

[noble warren]

Good testing grounds

[steel mica]

So its kind of a love and hate relationship for me

[noble warren]

^

[fossil delta]

A big part of the reason I breed Asksvin elsewhere is to minimize my time in the Ashlands biome. The biome is just too distasteful to me. I much prefer spending my time in biomes I like.

[steel mica]

@storm sinew If you're curious about the big bois here you go

SPOILER WARNING OPEN AT YOUR OWN RISK

The asksvin army:
#screenshots message

The fort base:
#building-screenshots message

[noble warren]

The pile of eggs is hilarious

So black when you're doing your fort base and stuff do you just take down the middle tower?

[storm sinew]

That fort base 10/10, literally a fortress

[paper marsh]

Agreed, I'm not for fort bases but that one is slick

[steel mica]

I dont, I keep it because its indestructible

[noble warren]

Just wondering

[steel mica]

I dont currently have the updated one

Screenshot

[cosmic summit]

I dont get why the game can remember my food, hp, time left on forsaken cooldown... but not my rested buff when I log out

[storm sinew]

All good, still an awesome fortress

[fluid flicker]

Does anybody want to help me finish the game? I've had it for quite some time and I only killed one boss. I want to play it, but there's just so much information I need to know that in my experience it's best to play with someone whose already played before. The problem is none of my friends want to help me finish.

Would very much appreciate it ❤️

[tepid prawn]

#1024264966712340510 is a good place to look to make a post there or find a server that suits you, I recommend looking in your timezone and physical location (my servers are in Australia for instance and we already killing 4th boss tonight so might not suit)

[uneven horizon]

Does the %pierce bonus from the vilebone armor set work with bows?

[shy marlin]

Think so 🤔

[nocturne wolf]

Why wouldn’t it?

[shadow reef]

when near another player, does it simulate ping? As I have somehow been experiencing ping as host.

[uneven horizon]

Just wanted to make sure ranged was accounted for. I know tooltip says "piercing damage" but the armor set looks biased melee

playing with someone who prefers ranger playstyle, just didn't want to waste

[shy marlin]

Yea vile set is good for a ranger build

Stam regen will be super nice too

[dim trellis]

how many dang ol abombinations you gotta kill for that root

[pliant hatch]

Depending at your resource drop settings (modifiers) somewhere between a few and a lot.

[jagged wind]

5 roots per 1 kill times modifier

[dim trellis]

what is the modifier?

oh when you made a world

[jagged wind]

u can change it anytime

[noble warren]

Base is 1x rates

Which just means you'll get the normal amount of stuff things drop

[light gyro]

is it me or yagluth used to be bigger

[alpine wyvern]

is this game still active

[jagged wind]

wdym

[tacit crystal]

Vilebone set and Spinesnap bow suit very well with each other in terms of looks.

[noble warren]

Bad to the bone

[weary gazelle]

sometimes i think valheim = star citizen, neverending Story, neverending early access... dont missunderstand, i love the game ... 3485h Playtime

[jagged wind]

to compare these 2 games is quite an insult haha

star citizen is heavily p2w game

with nobody knowing when its going to be done

Valheim is 20 buck (10 in sale) game that will be most likely fully released this year

after a small team was working on it for some years

[weary gazelle]

most likely ..... i like that

[noble warren]

Plus ones fun

[shadow panther]

When will there be a discount on Valheim on Steam?

[pliant hatch]

Most likely when the next sales window runs.

[umbral gate]

whats a good armor set to go into the plains with

[noble warren]

Fenris/silver, or a mix of root harnesk and other pieces

[umbral gate]

forgot about the fenris set, not a bad shout

[tacit crystal]

The one you feel comfortable with.
If you want to tank, use heavy, like Wolf armor. If you appreciate speed, then Fenris armor is great. Root Harnesk is nice for tanking the hits from deathsquitos.

[umbral gate]

Yea i jus maxed out my root set for the deathsquitos

[noble warren]

^
Only downside of using root harnesk is fire vulnerability, so I'd follow Joel's advice. Whatever set you're the most comfortable with

[umbral gate]

Gotta find another mountain for caverns

[noble warren]

Or just stock up in barley wine

[umbral gate]

Everytime iv done a playthru i get to the plains and get squashed so first task is to simply get better… but other than that ima try out diff sets

[noble warren]

Practice makes perfect 👌

[worn steeple]

*addictive - yes

[open bolt]

the long hunt for a Cultist trophy continues....

oh boi. found the type of frost cave that has stone golems. not going down there for sure. u.u

[fossil delta]

Go there eventually.

[open bolt]

is it worth it? 🤔

[fossil delta]

At least once. After that you will know if its worth it to you.

[open bolt]

hum...

[fossil delta]

You can wait until its easier to deal with golems.

I don't recall anything being time sensitive, but its been a long time since I last found them in the caves.

[open bolt]

maybe when I have magic... but that's like two biomes later... 😅

[fossil delta]

Oh, well, I am no longer that intimidated by golems, so I find them easy with the plains gear.

[dim trellis]

hell yeah i chopped a wolf

not so tough when theres only 1 of you eh doggy

[umbral gate]

Wtf thats a thing??😭

[fossil delta]

Its night time when they can be really tough.

[umbral gate]

Idm the slamming golem its the magic one that i always mess up the parrying on

[open bolt]

I see. maybe next biome then. Outside they are fine for me. but in a closed cave...? not so sure

[fossil delta]

Well, yeah, you do have to be careful about how many you have to deal with at one time.

[idle storm]

for the hammer golems i find it best to just block the overhand blow. The stagger window is super short on that anyway so parrying isn't really worth it.

[fossil delta]

I use Tower Shields any ways, so I am always blocking.

[umbral gate]

Iv never actually used a tower shield

I also jus move up between the bucklers

[fossil delta]

Most don't like it because you can't parry, and you move slower while its equipped.

[umbral gate]

Yea i love parrying lmao

Im not sure whether to make the silver shield tho, parry bonus is less but is it better?

Still using the iron rn

[fossil delta]

Not sure. I haven't used parry since my early play throughs.

Been thousands of hours since then.

[umbral gate]

Welp guess ill jus have to try it out

I gotta find a whole new mountain for silver now anyway so may as well stock up

[fossil delta]

I recommend trying out everything. Eventually. Doesn't have to be your first play through.

[umbral gate]

Oh iv done many but Iv never played for long enough to beat the game

Furthest i got was to the mistlands but quit before i found the queen

[fossil delta]

We still can't technically beat the game, so no real loss there.

[idle storm]

iron buckler has 100 armor on a parry (40 x 2.5), silver shield has 108 (72 x 1.5)

[umbral gate]

Tru ig but boss wise i mean

[idle storm]

both maxed

[umbral gate]

So armor wise not much difference

[idle storm]

a little less bleedthrough damage on the shield but not really enough to matter

[dim trellis]

silver also having that higher block value for non parries tho

[fossil delta]

I've only beaten the Ashlands boss once. I hate the Ashlands, so I don't consider that a loss either. I do enjoy the Mistlands, though.

[earnest field]

I thought there was no iron buckler so I made the banded shield and upgraded it. I'd preffer the buckler but I don't wanna spend more iron on another shield now, oh well.

[dim trellis]

plus silver shield looks awesome

[open bolt]

Found a Cultist. praying that it gives a trophy 😅😅 my last few caves only had ulvs. and golems i guess...

[umbral gate]

It really does lmao thats why i wanna make it

[idle storm]

thing is unless you're playing on hard or skipping biomes you really don't need the extra parry armor from the buckler so the normal shield is fine

[umbral gate]

I really wanna make the silver dagger but seems kinda a waste

[fossil delta]

Probably a lot like the silver sword, becomes the most useful going into the Ashlands.

[umbral gate]

Im using frostner rn, jus maxed it out

[idle storm]

same reason i've never really used a tower shield. As long as you keep your normal shield upgraded it blocks everything without issue, so why take the speed penalty and lack of parrying?

[umbral gate]

Personal preference ig

[fossil delta]

Everything? Even 2 stars?

[open bolt]

tons of red jute. no trophy 😞

[fossil delta]

I always have a hard time getting that trophy. I usually don't even bother trying any more.

[idle storm]

maybe not seeker soldiers or charred warriors, but most others sure. The armor difference between tower shields and normal shields isn't that high.

you take a little more bleedthrough of course but you're also trying to parry anyway

so it evens out imo

[open bolt]

same. But in this run I don't wanna craft heavy armours, so I have to go for fenris.

[umbral gate]

I only used the iron armor for when i fought bonemass, otherwise i keep it off so i can run freely

[idle storm]

still i should probably go for a tower shield playthrough next time to give them a fair shake

[umbral gate]

Ima do the same with silver too

[fossil delta]

With the BM Tower Shield its the only shield you make until Ashlands. So plains to Ashlands.

[umbral gate]

I think once i get the serpent shield ima jus run that

[idle storm]

so you go bone tower -> serpent scale -> BM tower?

[fossil delta]

The iron shield is better, except for the pierce resistance. Which stacks with Root. So thats powerful.

[umbral gate]

Wait serpent is a tower i meant the black metal one

Ts looks awesome

[fossil delta]

I like the looks of the BM shields best. Whether tower or round.

I get BM chests of black metal, so I make everything at the plains level to put up on my walls, if not also to use.

[umbral gate]

Bm does look pretty good

I havent seen what flame metal stuff looks like yet

[fossil delta]

ITs pretty cool. I like the heavy armor better than the plains heavy armor. I still like the BM shields best. For looks.

The Ashlands light armor looks pretty good. Not the best looking light set, imo, but still nice.

[umbral gate]

Ima try getting the fenris set for the plains then jus focus getting bm for weapons

[fossil delta]

Plains has a light set now too, but I think its rather ugly looking.

Mostly the head piece is ugly.

[umbral gate]

I jus wanna be fast

:D

[fossil delta]

I do that with my run and jump skill.

[umbral gate]

My run is only like 45 i think

Jump prob not too high either

[earnest field]

the vile set it really ugly compared to the padded armor

[fossil delta]

By the time I am in plains my run and jump are around 60. I like them to be in the 70's by the time I go into the Mistlands.

[tacit crystal]

Am I in minority that thinks Vile set looks cool?

[fossil delta]

Maybe.

[fossil delta]

I mostly think the head set is ugly, the rest isn't bad.

[umbral gate]

Iv never seen it💔

Oh its like a bone set lmao, back to old times

[fossil delta]

Its another one you have to get a trophy in order to make the head piece.

[earnest field]

I am not saying it looks bad actually, just not in my taste

[umbral gate]

Not a big fan of that ngl

[earnest field]

Same with the bear set, it's a cool design, but I wouldn't wear it

[fossil delta]

I actually wear the bear set. Its the best set out of the black forest. IE between armor value and bonus' given.

[umbral gate]

I used the bear set and claws till i got iron

Bonus is really good

[tacit crystal]

Bear set until Fenris for me since Call to Arms.

[dim trellis]

beating up a bear with bear claws 🤌

[umbral gate]

Yurrr

[tacit crystal]

Making them taste their own medicine. 🐾

[earnest field]

right now in the swamp I am using roon harnesk, iron helmet and graves

[umbral gate]

I only made a bow when i got to the mountains…

So my bow lvl is lacking hard rn

[earnest field]

I wouldn't wanna play without bows, I think I have lvl 33 right now

[umbral gate]

I only used it for the drakes otherwise im right up infront with frostner

[fossil delta]

I don't use bows as heavily as I used to. Now I might get into the 60's by Ashlands. Used to be, I would be in the 90's by then, if not 100, until I die.

[umbral gate]

Yikes

[dim trellis]

can i get to 100 on an archery target?

[fossil delta]

Now its swords or clubs that race to get to the 90's, if not both.

[fossil delta]

Better to shoot TWIG.

[dim trellis]

twig is a spaz

[tacit crystal]

You can, but it's slower since you gain less xp per hit when shooting at archery target. But you can retrieve arrows.

Shooting at TWIG grants full xp.

[fossil delta]

I heard here you get better XP shooting TWIG, but no arrow recovery.

Yeah, that.

[earnest field]

I like to use the archery target when I need just a few more xp points for the next level

[umbral gate]

I didnt think of either

[fossil delta]

I use TWIG when I want to use a new weapon group. Pretty easy to get any combat skill into the 30's.

Except block/parry. That takes so long I only might get into the 20's using TWIG.

I do most of my block levelling with Lox.

[tacit crystal]

3 Elders in closed area shooting its ranged attack raise block skill fast.

[fossil delta]

I've heard about that. Probably from you. I am happy doing it mostly with Lox.

[tacit crystal]

Might be me earlier.

[earnest field]

I miss playing with my friends, but playing alone makes everything so abundant it's crazy

[open bolt]

last frost cave of the day. fingers crossed for cultist trophy 🙏

[umbral gate]

👾

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I enjoy solo well enough, but its much more fun to play Valheim with my wife or friends.

[earnest field]

I'll make my Gf play valheim eventually, she does like the artstyle, but it might be a little difficult for her at first

[fossil delta]

My wife is vicious. She doesn't even use shields. She just attacks. Its surprisingly effective.

[earnest field]

You know there is actually a point about women and being absolute killers in survival games

also, what the hell, second sawmp raid in the span of 3-4 days

[fossil delta]

RNG. It can suck, or it can be generous.

[dim trellis]

tonight roughly 500 skeletons "surprised" my base, god it felt never ending

[fossil delta]

I use the big hammers for that raid.

[dim trellis]

oh is that what its for 😂

great idea

[fossil delta]

Once you have the iron sledge, its pretty fun to smash all those skeletons at one time.

[open bolt]

5 cultists. Zero trophies. 😢 well... That's it for today i guess.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I don't even bother going for that armor set. By the time I get a trophy, I don't even want the set any more.

[dim trellis]

gotta put it on a nice little armor stand though

[fossil delta]

Once I get a trophy, thats what I do.

[earnest field]

at least in this game the combat is good so the raids are actually pretty fun, compared to something like hound waves in Don't starve

[dim trellis]

i played that game before valheim and everything about it seemed like a bad time

[open bolt]

😞😩 it's so cool tho... And I wanted it before going to the plains... Now I might need to do a hybrid set with a different head piece.

[fossil delta]

My favorite raid is getting hunted by wolves. Especially when I can use them to attack fuling villages. Plus I get a ton of wolf meat.

[umbral gate]

Wait is that for the fenris set?

The cultist head^

[fossil delta]

Yes.

[umbral gate]

Shit

[fossil delta]

The head piece.

[umbral gate]

Okay ion think ima go for it now :D

[dim trellis]

its called fenris? 🤔

[fossil delta]

The light set is the Fenris set.

[earnest field]

it's hard until it isn't and then everything is a bit of a joke and not that fun anymore

[open bolt]

Yeah.

[fossil delta]

RNG is fickle.

[umbral gate]

If i dont get whilst im hunting mountains for silver I think ill jus move on…

[fossil delta]

Thats what I do.

[open bolt]

I'm not even gathering a lot of silver in this run, so I am coming to the Mountains for this set, basically 😂😅

and nothing so far...

[fossil delta]

Besides, once your in the plains you get the fire wine. So the cultists are much less of a threat. Thats when I stock pile jute and crystals.

[open bolt]

Yeah, makes sense 🤔
What do I pair with the fenris coat and leggings before going to the plains tho? The silver helmet?

[fossil delta]

You can. Gets you the best armor value available.

Without any movement penalty.

So your what? +6% to move speed?

Besides, you should have that movement mead by now too. I think.

Yeah, its the jump one that is in the Mistlands mats.

[open bolt]

I don't think I have that one now. Doesn't it need something from the Big Witch? I don't have her location yet.

[fossil delta]

Thats a shame. I love the meads she unlocks.

Plus feasts are nice to have as an option.

[open bolt]

oof Drake helmet is 20 silver. Since I don't have a lot of silver in this playthrough, and don't wanna gather a lot more, I might just go to the plains with the troll hood xD

[subtle acorn]

Peak

[open bolt]

Yeah... gotta find her soon

[fossil delta]

That works, Not enough iron for the iron helm?

Armor does reduce the damage you take.

[long peak]

hi just saw the news

[fossil delta]

Yeah. Still sounds like we have months to go before 1.0. Not that I care. Been waiting 5 years, so whats a few more months?

[open bolt]

I have some, yeah. But iron is usually that thing we always need more 😅 so, do I wanna spend it now...? That's the question

[fossil delta]

Hey, I have been waiting what? 14 years? For the next Skyrim game thats not an MMO? So I can wait for them to finish Valheim.

[fossil delta]

I much prefer getting iron in Mistlands, so squeek by as much as I can until I get there.

[open bolt]

Howling Cavern doesn't have cultists, right? Only Ulvs and the boss

[long peak]

at the moment half life reddit

[fossil delta]

I think so? Not sure.

[open bolt]

Yeah, only this and the bats. According to the valheim wiki.

[fossil delta]

I try not to memorize too much. Helps add to replay value.

[earnest field]

there's a dragon egg right next to my home, nice

I've found onions instatly too, very pleased about that. A Frost cave is here too, how about that. I love the generation of this world, absolutely goated starter island

[storm sinew]

Is it me or the spinesnap packs a punch but it takes a while to draw

like i love the weapon ngl, but that amount of time it takes

[fossil delta]

All the bows are like that.

Skill off sets draw times.

[earnest field]

Only difference is stamina drain

[fossil delta]

Get your bow skill close to 100 and you become like a machine gun.

[umbral gate]

Thought my seed was really bad till i got bonemass, bog witch, and the female trader all within 1minute walking distance of eachother🔥

[fossil delta]

Hildir seems to love being next to the plains. Like in my current play through she is bordered by swamp and plains.

[strange cradle]

Usually I find Hildir in Meadows, right next to the sea and Plains. This time, she's pure Meadows (by the sea). No plains nearby. But there ARE Plains on this continent.

[umbral gate]

Same here

[storm sinew]

The fact that traders also has shield, like we have a guaranteed safe spot to run to whenever we are getting bombarded by mobs

I mean who here always run to the traders for protection, so mobs will run away to reset

[shy marlin]

🤔 when is gta6 supposedly coming out?

[tacit crystal]

Or just wait until we get more info, come back later, play other games meanwhile etc.

[jagged crag]

yo guys, i am currently in black forest with full troll set and killed 2nd boss once, what should i focus on now?

[idle storm]

find a swamp with sunken crypts

[gentle gale]

You'll want top shelf foods and poison resist meads

[idle storm]

and keep an eye out for turnips

[jagged crag]

ye went to swamp, but die instantly by deathsquito and other mobs 🙂

[gentle gale]

yeah stay outta plains 😄

[foggy glacier]

If you haven’t yet found all the vendors, start sailing around looking for swamps and explore them

You’re looking for yellow flowers similar to carrot seeds and pairs of green torches

[haughty geode]

I have haldor close to plains,
2 minute from there is witch,
2 minute from there, with 2 small patches of plains, is Hildir
And witch has like 12 crypts around

[jagged crag]

havent found any vendor 😉

thx guyz

[blazing cobalt]

Has anyone considered making a D&D campaign set in Valheim?

[earnest field]

I forgot about Odin and he spooked me a little bit

[stoic apex]

Soo... the Deep North boss has to be fenrir right?

[nocturne wolf]

Why?

[stoic apex]

the chains

fenrir was chained to yggdrasil

[blazing cobalt]

I thought he was a wraith the first time as I hadn't seen a wraith yet.

[stoic apex]

i bet breaking the chains to fight him will anger odin (the obvious final boss)

because odin is supposed to be eaten by fenrir during ragnarok

[blazing cobalt]

We get to trigger Ragnarok

[stoic apex]

ahhhhhhhhhh

[tardy peak]

Are any of the bosses, so far, actually taken directly from the myths?

[stoic apex]

theres a ton of mythology but yeah its hard to say

idk im just thinking out loud

[tardy peak]

it would just seem a bit overt to have Fenrir, since I personally don't recognize any of the others in the mythology

[stoic apex]

idk if bonemass is from mythology XD

eikthyr is

[tardy peak]

ahh I see

[stoic apex]

hmm apparently valheim takes place after ragnarok though, if reddit is to be believed XD so that changes things

[tardy peak]

that would mean there's no Valhalla to ascend to, though? Guess I'll just stay in Valheim then

my guess/hope would be Thjazi, father of Skadi(who marries Njord as recompense for the killing), and the frost giant who kidnaps Idunn and is killed by Odin and his brothers(as I recall). Would be kewl with more throwbacks to the myths at least

[silk token]

you could play the board game

[blazing cobalt]

I forgot they made that

[silk token]

it's pretty great

[lone rampart]

Reddit is never to be believed

[umbral gate]

are fire arrows best against moder?

or frost jus for pure dmg

[noble warren]

Fire would be your best bet, pretty sure moder has a weakness to fire

[umbral gate]

alr ty

[noble warren]

👍

[tacit crystal]

Obsidian arrows are better even when Moder is weak to fire. But they are not the worst either.

[tacit crystal]

Moder is immune to frost.

[umbral gate]

I can see why, was a dumb question after I thought about it 😅

[umbral gate]

noted ty 🙏

[tacit crystal]

No dumb questions really, as per Chinese saying you were dumb just for a moment but if you didn't ask you would have remained dumb the rest of your life.

[umbral gate]

I love that 🔥

[trail pelican]

Hey all, i was hoping someone would be able to help me, does anyone know the manifest number for the 0.221.10 patch, for some reason i am having issues downloading it. I can upgrade to the 0.221.12 and downgrade to the 0.221.4 but just cant seem to get the 0.221.10, any help would be greatly appreciated

[dark coyote]

does anyone know if the ashwood filigree walls will count for the enclosure check?

[oblique zinc]

It should, I don't think Valheim physics account for hole in the structure pieces. Cage counts so those should as well

[grave crow]

"im sure the person who created this game has never looked at a naked woman's body based on how the female is built"

[stoic apex]

[odd snow]

Anyone else have a problem with wasting an insane amount of time on building in valheim?

Yes I’m still on about this but I think I’ve wasted like 15 in game days trying to build a house

[neon spire]

This is a big problem I suffer from lol, I'll spend a ton of time on single buildings or trying to make my houses look good. Tbh it's one of my favorite parts of Valheim though

[lavish estuary]

I'm still new to the game so trying to learn how to build better, I enjoy it alot so far tho

[pliant hatch]

Building a nice looking - and effective working - house isn't a waste of time.

It's time spend in getting something you would like to have your character staying in forever and giving you the feeling "Ah, I'm home" when you enter that base again.

[odd snow]

I enjoy it when I’m actually doing a good job and not trying to build Professor Xs mansion and the roof keeps collapsing

[odd snow]

My problem is I want a lot of space but I forget it’s not really necessary

[pliant hatch]

It might be.

Each biome comes with an upgrade to the existing crafting stations or add one to two new ones.

And the upgrades to the crafting stations, plus the storage area(s) for everything you can pick up is going to demand lots of space.

[odd snow]

Yeah but I just started playing the game and haven’t even unlocked bronze materials so I’m wasting time

It’s really just the roof that I have such a hard time with

[lavish estuary]

Damn how big is your starter house

[odd snow]

#building-tips

It’s actually my second house that I’m building because my first base was too far from the Black Forest

[pliant hatch]

One trock for the roof: Use the core wood logs to set up a skeleton to support the higher building pieces.
You can later replace them for the wood iron poles for even more support.

[odd snow]

Yeah core wood is good. I don’t have that yet because of no bronze materials

[pliant hatch]

But you can get core wood with a flint axe.....

Bronze axe is required for the fine wood if you want to get that from trees.
Other fine wood sources are the occasional chairs you seed near tower ruins in the BF or the ship wrecks you can find along the coastline.

[odd snow]

Okay, didn’t know that. I thought it was only bronze

[lavish estuary]

I also just add 45° wood beams for additional support

[odd snow]

Do the early axes have the same capabilities as bronze axes?

I just unlocked those and know they’re new so I’m not familiar with them

Okay yeah I’m wasting so much time

I want to move on

[shy marlin]

If you're able to get the early axes i'd skip bronze axe

[odd snow]

Good to know

So I really just need bronze for the mace and that’s it

I’m getting troll armor and I already have the early axes

[grave crow]

so relatable

im spending so much time trying to level the land

only to spend so much time getting the building and roofing right lol

then the real game begins

[frozen fable]

Building is not a waste when you build it big enough to contain everything you need throughout the game

It also isn't a waste when you build a cooking area indoors so that when it rains you can still cook

[odd snow]

I definitely built a big enough area I just cannot get the roof to work for the life of me

[frozen fable]

Check the foundation pieces on the bottom of your walls and make sure they are blue

[fossil delta]

If I don't feel like building a huge house to contain everything I will usually do a big pavilion to contain all the cooking.

[frozen fable]

All building pieces are color coded. Blue means they are foundational and green means they will hold other pieces on top of them, yellow means you can't build much more on them and light red means if you add on one more piece then it might fall off because it is not supported

[fossil delta]

As in they are failing, or you just can't get them to fit?

[frozen fable]

Try to frame your house and build a frame for it complete with framing and roof beams before you put on roof tiles and walls. There are YouTube videos that show you how to build a house that won't fall apart and honestly they are fun to build

[fossil delta]

You can go pretty high with just wood. I've done big enough to contain Birch trees almost entirely. Of course that tree helps with support with whats around it.

[earnest field]

trees are nice, I've finaly made a treehouse in the swamp next to my bog witch.

[timber marsh]

We have been building a cute little animal crossing village on the beach...

Although all the livestock are at the plains farm

[grave crow]

building with walls is so much worse

[odd snow]

Falling

[grave crow]

I can’t with this game lol way too time consuming 😔

[light moat]

What’s time consuming? Building? Collecting resources? 🤔

[strange cradle]

The game IS time consuming. It is supposed to be.

Take your time. Don't rush.

[earnest field]

it certainly consumed 50 hours of my last 2 weeks

[strange cradle]

That's fine. 😄

[earnest field]

Gotta use up the last days of my winter break.

[strange cradle]

I think I wasted way more hours in two weeks in Valheim. But then I'm retired. 😉

[earnest field]

My next semester in college is gonna be pretty light so I'll certainly put in quite a lot of hours

[strange cradle]

As long as your grades are ok, this is completely fine.

[grave crow]

Hoeing

[light moat]

LOL alright, fair enough!

Honestly man, I’d just say sack the extensive terraforming. Work with the land, not against it 🫡

Flat land is overrated

[grave crow]

Yeah true I gotta remember to trust the process as well

[strange cradle]

The most important thing in Valheim: Be prepared.

Then you can master any challenge it sets before you.

[grave crow]

Word

Aight I think I can give it another go now lol

[strange cradle]

Hoeing isn't really that hard.

It is timeconsuming, though. I give you that.

[light moat]

Good luck! Couple more tips,

Use beams to kinda plan out your build. Don’t go too big. The regular beam is 2m, just create like two rectangles that are 8mX6m (4 beams x 3 beams) and connect them perpendicularly in any way you want, then go from there.

This is the DoubleDogg Rectangle method, works like a charm in any building game.

[fossil delta]

I've found that alternating between the hoe and cultivator gives me results more to my liking.

[strange cradle]

Hey, whatever works for you. 🙂

[grave crow]

thanks!

[earnest field]

I think I sacked a big swamp dry. I am gonna go on my long ship to transport 7.5 stacks of scrap iron home. The cart I am using to get it to the ship weighs over 2000 units

[mental hawk]

I just had a weird ingame dream, first time seeing this one.
I cant remember every detail but it said the player was flying over Valheim, then a creature big enough to cover the sunlight appeared and said 'look for me' or something

[fossil delta]

Moder.

[mental hawk]

oh really? I thought it was new
1k hours and still discovering cool things

[fossil delta]

Its not all that common of a dream, and I don't recall seeing it after beating her. So even with over 5300 hours, I haven't seen it all that often either.

[frozen fable]

There are chances to have boss dreams and they are either 1/17 chance or 1/18 chance to happen

[foggy glacier]

lol I was very confused by this conversation until I remembered that my viking never sleeps.

[grave crow]

early axes op

[craggy basin]

how do you find boar

found 3 boar in 2 hours

[chrome badge]

Searching Meadows biomes

[craggy basin]

oh yeah been doing that

non stop been revealing more of meadows

maybe just bad luck

[chrome badge]

They're extremely common in the meadows.

[odd snow]

I FINALLY BUILT A GOOD LOOKING HOUSE

Anyone free to give some feedback on it?

[rotund parrot]

There's rng in spawns and whether you find boar stones or villages that will have them but they shouldn't be that uncommon at all. Even without those as you run around area you already explored

[chrome badge]

Sure, post it in #building-screenshots or #screenshots 😄

[odd snow]

I have it in #building-tips

But one sec I keep adding more stuff

[pure trellis]

anyone wanna play?

[rotund parrot]

I always judge builds on the roof, you did good!

[chrome badge]

It looks nice, but you will want to build defenses.

[foggy glacier]

windows. The roof architecture is interesting; I like it.

[odd snow]

I will add windows :)

And thank you. I always like adding the cross beams at the top

[mental hawk]

boars have a really bad habit of hiding when we need them

[vast jewel]

Spawned in on a literal deathtrap.

A stranded island with the Meadows, Blackforest and Mountains biome.

Literally right next to each other.

[nocturne wolf]

whats the seed

[dark coyote]

yeah lol I want to try it too

[fossil delta]

RNG has a lot to do with it. Some times a lot of boar respawn, then it gets stuck on deer for a while, then maybe neck, before spawning boar again. It does seem to help to have a broad area to keep crossing over.

[odd snow]

I'm so proud of my base

Now time to fill in the inside and decorate it

[chrome badge]

Looks great you should be proud

[odd snow]

Now for the fun part of transferring all of my items to my new base

[odd snow]

Uhhhhhm okay. Why are the early Axes so cheap to upgrade? It feels illegal considering they're pretty good early weapons

[earnest field]

Is it worth upgrading equipment to the max level? Asking before I get my huntsman bow to level 4

[shy marlin]

If you have the resources and time to do so, go for it

But upgrading equipment is not necessary

[earnest field]

Hmm, at level 3 it can 3 shot drakes with wooden arrows. I think I should save the iron for padded armor later

[nocturne wolf]

I don't upgrade most things past level 3, level 4 is so expensive for what you gain

[earnest field]

that's what I was thinking

30 iron for a few more points on the bow seems ridiculous

[nocturne wolf]

I think the only level 4 item I have in my singleplayer world is a silver sword because it's useful at so many points in the game

I have 1.5x resources though so its easier to obtain than normal

[odd snow]

Thoughts on troll armor vs bronze armor? I’m planning on getting troll armor and upgrading it because you move faster

[nocturne wolf]

the defence difference is too small for the slowness

any later heavy armor can be worth it for your playstyle but bronze is never good

[fossil delta]

I gather so many mats I have no reservations with levelling up my gear to max.

[odd snow]

That’s what I thought. So troll armor is better

How does the armor system work in valheim? What’s the damage decrease for the armor amount?

[fossil delta]

The bear set is the best for Black Forest. If you can get the trophy. Good armor, plus its enchantments.

[nocturne wolf]

if armor is below 50% of damage, subtract armor from damage
otherwise, multiply damage by damage/(armor x 4)

[earnest field]

aye, the frost caves are actually a bit spooky, first dungeon that made me feel a little uneasy while exploring

[fossil delta]

I take it the update I had today was a Steam update, since I see nothing about it from IG?

Yeah, had to be. since they just patched it on the 19th.

[opaque tendon]

it reminds me of skyrim

[earnest field]

I see the similarity now, though I never played it much

[opaque tendon]

there's another game I've played called hyper light drifter it's peak and theres a bird cult that lives in the mountains and they are kinda similar and i got those vibes

[edgy warren]

how long haver tyou been able to click t to access emote wheel for?

[fossil delta]

Weeks? Not very long.

[earnest field]

Finally got around to digging trenches around my home, it was way faster than I anticipated

[honest frigate]

how do i use the obliterator?

nevermind theres a lever

[earnest field]

The one time I get an extra item from crafting and it's a freaking whetstone

[storm sinew]

Whetstone?

[tacit crystal]

The one you craft on stonecutter.

[earnest field]

to then make a grinding wheel

[storm sinew]

You mean sharpening stone?

[tacit crystal]

Probably meant that.

[shy scarab]

does sleeping progress the fermenting time?

[storm sinew]

Yes

[tacit crystal]

Yeah time passes faster.

[earnest field]

I called it whetstone cause of the description. I wish you could make a whetstone from random pebbles irl

[shy scarab]

okay thanks

[tacit crystal]

Same faster process time while sleeping applies to crops growing too. But not taming process.

[fast dome]

frog

frog is frog

[shy marlin]

🧙‍♀️ ⌛

[odd snow]

Bears are so scary in this game

[paper marsh]

They look comfy to lie down on though

[dim trellis]

you know you're a viking if you use a head for a pillow

[open bolt]

we could be able to make bear blankets and bear pillows for the bed 🐻 🛏️ bear bed

[odd snow]

If I have early axes do I even need to craft any bronze weapons or can I depend on these for the time being?

[earnest field]

Certainly not a bare bed

[odd snow]

Is it just me or are the early axes insanely OP

[odd snow]

Bjorn bed

[shy marlin]

yea they're a bit strong

[cinder dirge]

yeah really good for meadows

[earnest field]

If you find them

Havent found even one axe head

[odd snow]

oof

[storm sinew]

First time seeing a ||Fallen Valkyrie|| and i was like "oh heck no, im out of here"

[odd snow]

There's no "easy mode" on valheim right? Because I swear this game is much easier than I remember coming back to it

Maybe it's just the early axes

But I swear enemies are dealing less damage

or that's just the troll armor

[light moat]

Hmm well, there is indeed an easy mode

Just a world modifier thing

[earnest field]

The game feels easier than it was in 2021

Maybe I am tripping

[light moat]

I think generally speaking, it is easier than it used to be.

More options and direct upgrades for the player, monsters have stayed pretty much the same.

Of course they’ve added monsters, but nothing crazy strong imo

[odd snow]

They def made it easier

I haven't played the game in like a year or two so it's been a while

[solemn crown]

Has anyone tried the board game? Is it any good?

[light moat]

I have it, but haven’t actually played it yet. Watched videos though, looks pretty fun.

[silk token]

there were some changes to make it easier, zero stamina parry is the big one.

[earnest field]

I guess back then I didnt even know about parrying

[storm sinew]

It was difficult back then, having your stamina drain when parrying

When you try to parry with literally no stamina, you will take a big hit of damage

[slow flicker]

I think it's just easier for those of us that have been playing since day and have hundreds to thousands of hours in play time.

[silk token]

well that too. game is easier when you dont go "WTF IS THAT?!?!" and try to run from a thing til you die

more fun? ehhhh

[solemn crown]

That's 90% of my combat.

[slow flicker]

Eh I never really ran from things trying to not die. Usually just stood and fought until it died or I died. Rather die fighting than die running lol

[silk token]

i would give up my memory to play it that way again, it was so good

[paper marsh]

It's actually insane how when I have the health to tank something, I don't panic and perfectly dodge and win a fight no problem

But the second I get down to low hp I start panicking and can't dodge for shit

[odd snow]

Is there a way to check if I have this? When I made my world I literally just made my character and generated a new random seed so I don't think I messed with any of the world settings

[grizzled coyote]

That's how it works ig, master's handsdont shake)

[odd snow]

I'm still just supicious about how easy some of the aspects are

[paper marsh]

Should just have it on standard difficulty then yea.

Whenever you're in the lobby before starting up your world, select the world and then somewhere in the bottom left is "world modifiers"

But yeah valheim difficulty goes down STEEPLY once you have encountered the biomes / enemies before, and devs have been making things a lil' easier by nerfing some mechanics, and whenever they introduce new biomes they often make enemies less aggressive / spawn less often after initial introduction as players complain it's too hard

Honestly though early-mid game enemies haven't been changed much / at all. Same damage and patterns, just prob better at dealing with them

[odd snow]

Okay yeah I don't think I had anything changed. Although I opened up the world modifers just to see and I clicked the reset back to default.

I'm probably just overthinking it

[honest frigate]

@slow flicker two star wolf heard me progressing too much in the game

and just two tapped me 😭

[torn folio]

@paper marsh hey do you start every new world on hardcore or just normal

[paper marsh]

uh I kinda do a custom mix of world settings and my own personalized challenges

But in short, I play on something a lot harder than the hardcore setting for every run I do

[slow flicker]

Mhmm yep that's why I strongly advise staying out of the mountains until you beat bone mass. His power comes in quite handy against those 2 star wolves lol

[fossil delta]

Just don't be in the mountains at night, and you will see no starred wolves, let alone 2 stars.

[foggy glacier]

I just caught an R5 Tuna! My first R5 for this playthrough!

This thing is twice as long as I am.

[fossil delta]

It is huge. I have one hanging next to my characters bed. So I "hear" everything it says.

[paper marsh]

Size isn't everything.

But I don't think R5 Tuna got the memo

[fossil delta]

Other fish did. I just didn't catch any of them this play through.

[steel mica]

If valheim updates, im dropping whatever I was doing and dead sprinting to my brother's laptop

[slow flicker]

You mean when it updates. The question is of if it will rather of when it will update to the last biome but that has been the million dollar question for over a year now

[honest frigate]

i found the moder vegisir and i sitll ahvent done bonemass yet bro

[shy scarab]

are viles friendly

[fossil delta]

Ummmm.... no.

[paper marsh]

I'd go ask one

[shy marlin]

the ole f around and find out

[slow flicker]

Yes very friendly you can pet them

[slow flicker]

Not beating bone mass I feel like you're just handicapping yourself

[paper marsh]

on a first playthrough does feel odd yea

I skip him every run but I've also been playing a while

[honest frigate]

bro i thought i was supposed to go to mountain before plains and i just like exploring

[honest frigate]

bro that dude one tapped me in my bear armor 😭

[paper marsh]

You are

[open bolt]

Imagine if we could tame Viles, like we do with Loxes.

[sharp owl]

Does Stamina faster fill up the higher your max is?

[open bolt]

Undead bear army. Or mount 👀

[slow flicker]

Yea mountains before plains but swamp before mountains so you get the wishbone to find silver veins in the mountains

[slow flicker]

I'd be happy with taking a regular bear to use as a mount lol

[paper marsh]

Basically, yes.

You regenerate 6 stamina per second stamina. The closer you are to empty, you'll regen even more (up to 6 additional stamina per second)

So if you have a big stamina bar, it takes longer to fill, and you will be regenning faster for longer

[sharp owl]

but that boost is only near empty?

[steel mica]

I still remember the hidden stamina mechanic from snazzy's video

[fossil delta]

For about the first 50% your recovering 12 per second.

[steel mica]

Your stamina regens faster at 0-50%

But slows down as you fill up your bar

[fossil delta]

Yeah, it drops to 6 per second.

[slow flicker]

Stamina meads are a very handy thing to have if you're running a stamina heavy build

[sharp owl]

Does this then last for the entire regen duration once you are low?

[paper marsh]

The closer to zero stamina, the faster the regen. At zero stamina your regen faster than at 10%. At 40% you regen faster than 50%. At 99% you regen faster than 100%. Etc.

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

[steel mica]

In short
0-50% faster regen
51%> regeneration slows down

Gradually

[fossil delta]

Which is just another reason as to why its important to keep the rested buff.

[sharp owl]

ah okay, thanks. I thought maybe if you start at e.g. 30% and keep regenerating, this would last up to 100%

the boost I mean

[steel mica]

Its alot more noticeable if you have high stamina food

by default 50 stamina its not that noticable

But when you eat your best stamina food you start to notice it

[sharp owl]

on my first playthough I prioritized hp more, but knowing this makes me pivot a bit more towards stamina.

[steel mica]

This mechanic is quite useful to have in the back of your mind when building or gather resources

[steel mica]

It will depend on your playstyle

If you like a more active combat playstyle
either go
HHS - if you get hit alot
HSS - if you dont get hit that often

[sharp owl]

with more stamina you tend to get hit less and have more actions, I'd say.

[steel mica]

It will depend if you get hit or not lol

I'd say for the majority of players HHS is the way to go

Nice balance of stamina and health

But for more experienced player, going for HSS is nice

[sharp owl]

I mean I tended to get 2 Feasts anyway with a decent balance and ate another hp thing

[steel mica]

I'd bring back up food just incase, feast are nice

I more so go towards a risky and active playstyle

So HSS or full SSS

[shy marlin]

3S is fun

[sharp owl]

HSS sounds like what I want

[steel mica]

Again its preference depending how well you do in combat

[paper marsh]

I'm a fan of HHF with a mistlands/ashlands feast for eitr

[steel mica]

Mistlands and Ashlands is when combat choice becomes quite difficulty for many

[shy marlin]

yea honestly I feel like food choice is becoming less and less relevant

[steel mica]

We'll find out in the Deep North

[shy marlin]

I have my doubts 😂

[paper marsh]

Parry and feasts, as well as bear armor and ratatosk I guess, really made stamina foods kinda irrelevant to me

[steel mica]

If I can recall the devs say DN will be alot calmer but enemies will be much tougher

[shy marlin]

this just likely means jade enchantments 📈

immob with a high hit speed weapon like spear or axes and then just flank behind em gg

[steel mica]

Joelkkii would be proud

[paper marsh]

Poison weapons finally useful

Just not for the poison

[steel mica]

bloodstone getting left in the dust

[shy marlin]

lmao true

[steel mica]

😭

[shy marlin]

bloodstone is the middle child of the enchantments

[steel mica]

Jade for its utility
Lolite for its damage
Bloodstone for its... cool factor

[shy marlin]

blood slayer does look cool

[paper marsh]

Nah Deep North will give us 1000hp food which will make bloodstone enchants meta

trust

[shy marlin]

🗒️ 📈

[steel mica]

Scales what are your thoughts on my idea for the bloodstone buff?

[shy marlin]

uh where are your thoughts?

[steel mica]

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

copy pasted

[shy marlin]

I don't like leech, I like the bloodlust effect

[steel mica]

I cant exactly remember what game used this mechanic

[shy marlin]

🤔

[steel mica]

After a kill your damage increases for the first swing

[shy marlin]

v rising had something similar, but with counters

after counter primary attack doing % more dmg

[steel mica]

I do have another idea, its kinda of a mix of 2 weapons from a game

Kinda of like your bloodlust idea

[shy marlin]

the idea i've floated around for blood weapons is an increased adrenaline gain while also doing more dmg the lower your hp is

[steel mica]

The idea is a diminishing on kill effect

[solemn crown]

Killed my sixth troll so I have a full set. Also my first trinket.

[steel mica]

The 2 weapons im referring to is from TF2, more specifically the eyelander and half zatoichi (Im a demoknight main lol)

Eyelander is a claymore sword that grants buff to the user after each head gathered

Half zatoichi is a katana, upon a kill grants the player 50% hp based on their overall hp ,theres an overheal mechanic in tf2 that heals the player beyond their total hp, so basically you have 200hp and you get a kill with the katnana it will, instead of healing grant you 100hp overheal but it diminishes overtime back to 200

I wanna take these mechanics and apply them to the bloodlust idea, basically after each kill you get a boost/buff in damage lets say a maximum of 5 kills, each kill grants a stronger boost/buff but the effect slowly diminishes over if you stop getting kills

Kind of complicated but I hope you understand 🫠

[shy marlin]

I understand

[chrome badge]

I would rather such things happen within trinkets, and still have the bloodstone benefit from potentially all your ideas Black, just by gaining additional adrenaline as scales suggests.

[honest frigate]

im scared of bonemass aura 😭

to be fair hes like hella far away man

mountain has more secrets to explore but im scared of frost caves too

[slow flicker]

Iron mace and the iron sledge are your friends when fighting bonemass

[steel mica]

Hard to justify lowering hp for a small damage boost in a biome where you will get your hands on this enhancement only to get like probably 3-4 shotted by enemies, especially starred ones

[slow flicker]

I feel bad for you if you think bonemass is far away cause you haven't even gotten to the ashlands yet and I guarantee ashlands is way further away than bonemass lol

[chrome badge]

It's not when some magic will utilize your health to cast, and it can also just function as a comeback mechanic in a tight spot.

[steel mica]

Getting into combat in ashlands is very common especially that its very open and enemies will mostly have direct line of sight on you

[honest frigate]

thats endgame fr fr

[slow flicker]

Yep it is but it is also the hardest biome to travel to until you get a portal set up

[steel mica]

The bubble is busted in any situation

[chrome badge]

Exactly, cast a bubble, eat rotten meat, and cleave away. 😛

[honest frigate]

wdym? cant i just use my longship

[slow flicker]

Hahahaha oh bless your heart

[honest frigate]

some day

i feel like i can tank anything with this iron armor bro

[slow flicker]

Nah man to get to ashlands you need the drakkar ship and then you have to navigate the coast line. If you use any other ship you're making life harder. Ashlands it's not a forgiving place

[honest frigate]

am i gonig to die there

[slow flicker]

Mhm but I wouldn't worry about the ashlands right now you still have bonemass, moder, yag, and the queen to contend with before even considering making a move to the ashlands

[honest frigate]

lightworkkkkkk

[steel mica]

But still I'd like to see bloodstone have utility as a consistent risk reward enhancement, grants a buff but forces you to be more active in combat thus risking yourself in the process in trade up for higher damage output

Lolite is high dmg too yes but rng dependent

[slow flicker]

Oh I can't wait for you to get to the mistlands if you think it's light work 😂

[honest frigate]

son i went into mistlands one time like a long time ago and i didnt see anything

[chrome badge]

That's what additional adrenaline gain would do to be fair.

[honest frigate]

in my previous playthrough

long long time ago

[slow flicker]

What do you mean range dependent?

[open bolt]

Unless he's mad enough like certain players that go to the Ashlands early 😂

[steel mica]

The shackle trinket is quite strong for melee users

[slow flicker]

Fair but I don't think he is lol

[steel mica]

random number generator

[slow flicker]

Did you go before or after the full mistlands update?

[steel mica]

Lolite weapons have a chance to cause chain lightning

[open bolt]

true... I guess not. at least in the current playthrough 🤷‍♀️

[slow flicker]

That still doesn't explain anything lol

[honest frigate]

im not too sure but it was empty all i rmemeber was the cool wood and the mistwood i think it was lil empty though and i saw a wizard i think?

and a spire

[slow flicker]

You didn't see any bug like creatures or a giant flying brain/butt looking creature?

[honest frigate]

no 😭

man i dont even want to konw what that is do not spoil it

[chrome badge]

James you keep spoiling things for them. 😢

[slow flicker]

It's been out long enough and there's millions of videos. Besides it's not like I'm telling him exactly what to expect. Just a few bugs and a giant floating butt lol

[chrome badge]

That's a strange way to say sorry.

[steel mica]

Its still kind of spoiling because your letting them know what might be in the next biome, the bugs and giant floating thing is already a give away, while not accurate the person is now aware of these things

[slow flicker]

Cause I'm not sorry. I'd understand if the update just came out and I was telling him everything to expect. But having a little bit of knowledge doesn't hurt anyone, I'm sure that first encounter with anything in mistlands is gonna be a shock to the system lol

[open bolt]

Random thought:
I wonder if it would be doable to try a run where all skill levels are like super super low the entire time. 🤔 Like, each time our skills approach lvl 10 or so we'd kill our character on purpose to keep the skills low. 🤷‍♀️

[steel mica]

The skills arent really mandatory stats but more so a small buff along the way, the thing that makes the game doable is the resources you gather and preparation

[shy marlin]

there's a devcommands for this

[steel mica]

Whilst yes a higher bow skill will be better than having no bow skill, the difference is just time

[shy marlin]

it's like setkey skillgainrate and then put 0

[open bolt]

It's common to try not to die, as a game challenge. But in this case that wouldn't be the problem. The problem would actually having to die a lot to keep skills low, while at the same time trying not to die at certain times, like, when in the middle of doing something important to the progress etc.

[shy marlin]

i'm like halfway through a no skills run (just purely for science) and honestly the only thing that really feels impactful is run and jump being low

[chrome badge]

To be clear, the game isn't even out yet, even if it were, it's best to give empathy a shot in cases where you can only experience something for the first time once.

[open bolt]

yeah, that's true. That's why I thought that maybe it could be doable with very low skills. Just much more time consuming, probably.

[open bolt]

to stop skills from leveling?

[shy marlin]

yea

[steel mica]

You can delete the other skills in valheim but never these two my god

[open bolt]

Oh 👀 interesting

[steel mica]

You jump and explore alot more often than you think

And it definitely makes a difference

[open bolt]

I see

[slow flicker]

That's why I'm not saying anything else about it. I was asking what he saw in mistlands when he went there to get an idea of when it was he went there. Acting like I just told him every detail there is about mistlands

[steel mica]

If I can recall, you cant jump over a 2meter wall 😭

[shy marlin]

holy 😭

[steel mica]

At level 0 jump skill

[open bolt]

mountain/mistlands with low jump level and plains with low run sounds difficult 😂

[chrome badge]

I'm just making a point to you, where you've just seemingly had a hard time letting anyone know you won't spoil anything else until now. I appreciate that much.

[steel mica]

The game focuses on exploration and resource gather so these two skills are a MUST to grind at the very start

Especially when you get to mountains and mistlands

[slow flicker]

Yea I'm not a heartless ahole that's gonna spoil the whole damn thing for him. Just getting an idea of what he saw cause he acted like mistlands is gonna be a cake walk when he gets there and we both know that first run introduction is no cake walk

[chrome badge]

Fair enough.

[open bolt]

I actually remembered there's a guy that tried a challenge of valheim without running, jumping or even walking. I think he would move the character by rolling and "moving" from the movement that certain attack animations give.

[steel mica]

The green goblin

[shy marlin]

yea bigbrian

[steel mica]

I don't remember the channel but I watched the whole video

Absolute torture honestly

[open bolt]

Yeah. and he couldn't swim either. 💀

[steel mica]

Honestly thinking about it now, I'd say its impossible to beat ashlands with that challenge

[open bolt]

probably 💀

[steel mica]

You're gonna get swarmed constantly no doubt

[shy marlin]

nah it def is beatable

[steel mica]

The biggest challenge really there would the fortresses and fader

[open bolt]

Imagine fighting a morgen without running or even walking

I guess we'd have to try and parry/block everything that comes our way

[shy marlin]

Fader is doable, you can use cooking stations to manipulate ai in general open world, fortresses just have me scratching my head

[steel mica]

Only a masochist would do this, who could possibly be able to do this challenge 😉

[open bolt]

[shy marlin]

sounds like a job for big brian

[open bolt]

cooking stations?

[shy marlin]

yup

cooking stations = op combat weapon

secret tech 🕵️

[open bolt]

We invite Fader to cook with us?

[shy marlin]

nah fader u don't do cooking stations

[steel mica]

Make terrain wall and snipe the spawners?

[open bolt]

I see... Sad u.u

[steel mica]

and for the enemies inside, either snipe or attract them to the gate and use demolisher

[shy marlin]

how can you get into tower?

by only using dodge to move

[steel mica]

Oof that

[shy marlin]

eh i think

nah i got it

[steel mica]

O, MAKE STAIRS TO THE TOWER

[shy marlin]

yea

[steel mica]

and break the spikes

and put a chest outside the door

[open bolt]

dig all of it? until all the ground on the inside breaks? (don't even know if it's possible)

[steel mica]

just below the hole under the door and put the loot there

or throw them through the wall

I did this when I got locked in lol

I dropped the loot through the wall and kill command

I forgot to bring wood

[fossil delta]

The central tower on a citadel? Yeah, dig under the wall to get out or in.

[steel mica]

But in the context of no moving with wasd

only rolling

[shy marlin]

theoretically could just make stairs

would take a while lmao

[steel mica]

That, but easier access really

you could just break the chest to get the loot

I cant recall of you can break the standing molten cores

[shy marlin]

nah

they float i think

[open bolt]

when the fortress is clear of enemies, we have all the time we need UwU

[steel mica]

sad

Its certainly doable now that you changed my mind lol

But would probably be the longest progression

[open bolt]

Even longer than that would be that + no skills 👀

Aka tortureX2

[steel mica]

No point in skills if you're only movement is rolling

You're bound to die a ton

[open bolt]

I mean, you'd still need other skills for combat and gathering resources

[steel mica]

You are gonna lose those skills one way or another

[open bolt]

no running/walking and jumping doesn't mean no fighting 😅

[open bolt]

also true 🤔😂

wait, then it is actually the perfect way to try a no skills run... 👀 since skills don't matter... hahah

[hushed niche]

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the command line flags for the Valheim Linux binary?

[open bolt]

Just found 5 Cultists together in a single room. Gave me zero trophies 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

gotta love the rng... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[idle storm]

Only 5? I have two and a half stacks of celestial feathers (after crafting everything that needs them). No trophy. 😂

[open bolt]

7 cultists in total in the frost cave. the game is trolling me at this point xD

[open bolt]

our luck... 🫂

[idle storm]

if i hadn't already gotten one in another game i'd be thinking valkyrie trophies don't exist

[open bolt]

it's like the 10th frost cave I go to, and this one had 7. Didn't even have ulvs. Only cultists. and still, no trophy.

[idle storm]

yeah that's just the RNGods laughing at you

if all else fails you can return the howling cavern chest to Hildir though since that raid has cultists too iirc

[open bolt]

I've returned that chest already. even before starting to explore frost caves 😂 because the howling cavern was very close to my Elder.

but i didn't have that raid yet. sadly

[umbral gate]

I feel so bad to tell you this but I jus got the trophy in my 2nd cave 😭

wait I got 2 of em too 😭

[tacit crystal]

Iirc Valkyrie trophy has 5% drop chance.

[idle storm]

On average, yeah

[steel mica]

You're one lucky bastard if you happen to get 3 trophies in a row... oh wait im the lucky bastard

Bonus+ a 2star asksvin aswell

[open bolt]

="" ) Well, I'm happy for you.

but actually, just out of curiosity, I went to check my other two characters that have been to the mountain, and they only got one trophy each, because they had the complete fenris set and no more trophies in chests. They probably just happened to get it faster. But i guess I've only got two or three cultist trophies in my entire experience with valheim 😂😅

[open bolt]

Still no trophy, but I found a Tetra lake ❄️🐟

[earnest field]

I crafted an iron axe instead of upgrading one

I am weeping

[merry pebble]

Happens to the best of us sometimes 🥲

[earnest field]

I don't wanna be a cheater but I think I'll just throw it into the ocean and console myself the iron back

[storm sinew]

Is it possible to block the lava blob explosion?

Nvm i did it and it hurts

[merry pebble]

Roll through 😄 you will be fine

[storm sinew]

Oh its possible to not take the full damage when you roll?

[nocturne wolf]

Most damage sources won’t hit you up to 0.56s after you start a roll

[storm sinew]

Askvin 1 star hits like a truck

I cant even imagine what damage if a 2 star hits me

[lavish parrot]

we were fighting moder and a 1 start ran up and we had 8 vines killing it and it ran away

fader*

[nocturne wolf]

What armor are you wearing

[storm sinew]

Root harnesk, carapace helmet and greaves with linen cape

[merry pebble]

Why not flametal armor instead of carapace? 🤔 +flametal cape or asksvin cape

[storm sinew]

I haven't started mining for them yet

flametal ores

[nocturne wolf]

The 2star will be doing over 50% more damage than a 1star to you, but they only spawn at night

[open bolt]

I'm about to lose my hope on the cultist trophies... 😅😢

[open bolt]

btw, just saw a random leech at the swamp that was outside the water. just randomly "walking" on the dirt.

[paper marsh]

kinda true but also misleading? If a one star did let's say 150 damage (before armor), then a 2 star would do 200. Not 225+

[nocturne wolf]

over 50% more final damage considering armor, not 50% more base damage

thats why I asked what armor was being worn

[paper marsh]

Ah I see, that math does work out

silly armor

[nocturne wolf]

with full level 3 silver armor a 2-star fuling does almost 4x the damage of 0-star

[earnest field]

Time to fight bone mass, I've been putting it off for too long

[idle storm]

I generally prefer to skip him these days

no bonemass = no bat raids

[paper marsh]

Same. To avoid all his raids really

He's a good one to fight on a first playthrough tho

[storm sinew]

Oh yeah bat raids dont do much, they are just annoying to deal with

[paper marsh]

annoyances are annoying

Especially if they happen every 30 minutes

[idle storm]

not just that but they also take a a "raid slot" that could have been something useful (as in "drops useful stuff")
it's especially noticable in the Mistlands because aside from the seeker and Gjall raids (which end once you kill the Queen) skellies and bats is all you get outside of the hildir raids.
And both can be avoided by not killing Bonemass so you only get mistland raids and hildir raids there

[tardy peak]

At this point I'd welcome an arial raid, since my island base makes every other raid moot

[idle storm]

same applies to wolf raids and the mountains so if you want to farm the howling cavern or sealed tower raids not killing bonemass and setting up a mountain base is a decent strategy

[earnest field]

it's dead, that was easy

[paper marsh]

That's usually the issue with basing on a small island yea

[open bolt]

OMG a Cultist Trophy!! \o/

I am close to have completed about 20 frost caves 😂

[tardy peak]

I like the change in music, at least. But I DID build it to be safe from raids, so not really something I'd complain about lol

[idle storm]

At least you probably have a decent supply of fenris claws for building now 😂

[open bolt]

the funny part is, i didn't die in any cave (not even in the Howling cavern) And I died as soon as I killed the cultist that gave a Trophy. I feel like it was a necessary sacrifice 😂

[open bolt]

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ I could probably start a shop of fenris hairs, claws, and red jute

bruuuuh The cultist that killed me after I got the first trophy, also dropped a trophy now 😂😂😂

Now I have two, from the same cave.

It was the last room of the last cave that I was going to do today. The quest for the cultist trophy has ended.

[storm sinew]

Its like the rng is making fun you and it was like "as a reward for going 20 caves, we will give you two"

[paper marsh]

I think my best cultist trophy rng was getting 2 from one cave, then another from the next cave I went in

[storm sinew]

Same i got like 2 on one cave

[steel mica]

Honestly this would be my reaction aswell because what the hell 3 in a row

[frail shore]

hello guys

[storm sinew]

There are times i hate morgen and lava blobs, but there are times i love those two, i have like 10 charred mobs 1 star archer and 1 star warrior, morgen, and lava blob. Literally let the lava blob explode to damage them, and let morgen do its rolling rolling to kill them 😁

[open bolt]

I feel like I grinded more yesterday and today to have the cultist trophy than what I grinded to have iron. 😂 these frost caves felt like an eternity. I had to go to several mountains.
But now I can finally go to the Plains with my fully upgraded Fenris set UwU

[frail shore]

btw the bear one first time scared shit out of me

xd

[tardy peak]

tbf they look like absolute psychos

[frail shore]

well someone 3 bears i countered

legit

[worn steeple]

It varies a lot. I cleared 17 caves and 2 Hildir caves to get 450 Fenris hair. Two of the caves had only 1–3 Fenris. One of them had 7 Cultists and 3 trophies. Extremely unpredictable, just the way it’s supposed to be.

[frail shore]

ouffff the ghosts are hard xD

stagbreaker realy good aoe 🙂

[open bolt]

I guess... still, I was hoping to get at least one trophy soonish. And ended up getting two in a row in my 16th or 17th cave. don't even know how many i did. certainly between 15 and 20. One of them had 7 cultists, but not trophies. 🤷‍♀️

rng being rng

[strange cradle]

So I step out of the portal into the mine I'd cleared out in the Mistlands (no cores, but a 2* seeker), pack things up and head to the coast where my boat is. Of course it starts raining and thunder rolls in. I get to the boat, what do I see? Of course, a soldier. I grab my shield... well, I TRY to grab my shield... and realize I left it at home.
Bummer... I'm fairly well fed, but still on BM armor and weapons... So I had to rely on the one thing I'm really bad at... dodging.
Let's just say it was a close call. 😄

[storm sinew]

No shield no problem xD, use the rolling rolling power😅

[strange cradle]

Yeah, well... If you're good at it... I'm not. I suck at dodge-rolling. 🙂

[low citrus]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1462485450282504303/1477301697108770856/image.gif

[storm sinew]

I'm also bad at dodge-rolling, like i always miss time it and get smash in the face

[strange cradle]

Yep. That'll be me. 😉

[storm sinew]

Like a few mins ago against a 1 star charred warrior, i miss timed the dodge and the warrior took like half of my hp

so one thing to do RUN

[strange cradle]

Really hard in the Mistlands. 😄

[storm sinew]

During my stay in mistlands till i get the required stuff, i despised ticks

[strange cradle]

Ticks are easypeasy.

They see you rollin'... they hatin'...

Dat fugging two-star seeker on the other hand... 🙁

[storm sinew]

Thats a different story

[strange cradle]

That was almost a one hit wonder.

And then it killed me anyway.

[storm sinew]

In my first infested mines, a 1 star seeker just 3 shotted me while having HHS foods

[strange cradle]

Yeah one stars can be tough already.

Didn't need a two star creeping up on me...

[storm sinew]

When you dont have high leveled shield, expect that 1 star seeker ram will knock you off

[strange cradle]

Yep. They can do that.

[runic pasture]

@near furnace wassapppppp is the release date public now?

[strange cradle]

Patience, young padawan. 🙂

[runic pasture]

iv been waiting for agessssssssss.

[strange cradle]

Nope. You've waited at max five years. 🙂

[storm sinew]

One thing im glad about is, good thing there is no seeker soldier that is like 1 star or 2 in all of infested mines i ran

But, seeker 1 star is always there

[strange cradle]

Yeah, so far I haven't encountered one myself in a mine.

[runic pasture]

yea i have

[strange cradle]

That's not ages. 😄

[runic pasture]

2 star brute...

[storm sinew]

So far in one of the mines, i encountered like 3 seekers that are 1 star

[strange cradle]

One-star seekers are fairly common in mines. Even two-star seekers are not that rare.

[runic pasture]

2 star tick about to end your carrer

trust me...

you dont see them before it is to late..

[strange cradle]

Yep, you need to roll these off quickly.

[storm sinew]

After i learned about ticks, with that point on im wearing full carapace armor with feathered cape, so i have no problems dealing with those

[runic pasture]

2 star..

[strange cradle]

Once I realized how to deal with them, I rarely have a problem with ticks any more. Thankfully.

[runic pasture]

they stun you every suck... then js repeat until you dont live..

[strange cradle]

Then your food level is too low.

You need way more health.

[storm sinew]

2 star ticks never gotten close to me, because they are literally just 1 hit

[strange cradle]

Exactly.

[storm sinew]

I always run HHS even im familiar with mistlands, cause its never safe whereever you go

[strange cradle]

You can go plains feast, mountains feast, and wolf skewer and you're pretty well off.

[storm sinew]

Expect like a gjall or two in your exploration

[strange cradle]

Yep. Fire protection is a must.

[storm sinew]

I did plains feast, mountains feast and the lux pie

[strange cradle]

That's even better, but I have so much wolf meat. 😄

And it's cheap to make as well.

[storm sinew]

Yep

Now im in ashlands, im rocking with plains feast, piquant pie, roasted crust pie or spicy marmalade

[strange cradle]

Use the Mistlands feast. So much better. You can add a plains feast to that and some higher health food and you're set.

I rarely need to make stamina food anymore.

Feasts provide enough stamina.

[paper marsh]

Yeah I don't use stamina food. Usually go HHF

It's kinda sad how stamina is semi-useless now

[storm sinew]

Well, about that, i avoided queen for a while

[strange cradle]

Yeah, queen's a tough cookie.

[storm sinew]

Probadly when im on rolling on ashlands gears then ill take her out

[strange cradle]

I again realized the best strategy for me is lots of armor, lots of health, and a mistwalker.

😄

[storm sinew]

Oh Mistwalker is the G

[strange cradle]

Absolutely.

It's really the best sword in the game.

You can rule Ashlands with Mistwalker.

[paper marsh]

Hinaryazan you better turn that blackmetal into ballista bolts

[storm sinew]

Oh yeah, good thinking, since i have my arenal with me

Idk why i farmed like almost 18 stocks of blackmetal and didnt bother using them after smelting

😅

[blazing cobalt]

When I fought the queen she glitched out of her hive when she was down to half health and I had to fight her outside. There was a dvergr outpost nearby and they helped me with her spawns.

[paper marsh]

Thank god you didn't have the no boss portals setting on

[strange cradle]

Yeah, that must've been before the bug fix.

[blazing cobalt]

It was over a year ago during my first run. I can't remember when.

[storm sinew]

There was a bug while engaging queen?

[strange cradle]

Yes.

She could leave her dungeon.

But that was fixed quite some time ago.

[storm sinew]

Oh, that would be annoying to deal

Imagine as soon as you get out, a gjall was there while you were fighting the queen

[strange cradle]

Yep. But you can get help as well. 😄

Dvergr make for very good cannon fodder. 😄

[storm sinew]

Whenever i run to the dvergr and i was like "guys help me"

[strange cradle]

As long as you don't annoy them, they're a really good help.

Which can be a problem with Thundering Nidhögg.

[storm sinew]

Yeah, there is one time i made them mad, when im destroying my cart it was in their ward range, so, its like its their cart and they're like "stop that" and just pour all their attacks on me

[strange cradle]

Argh.. that must've sucked. 😛

[storm sinew]

Yep, i was like "oh no"

[strange cradle]

And they were like "Oh yes!" 😄
