valheim-chat

[steel mica]

Nocturnal hunters

[merry pebble]

Might be, but we know that at least females do go hunting to other biomes 😄 so maybe they bring some food back for males since they are guarding eggs

[steel mica]

The plains is pretty obvious already

This is logical but when you destory their campsites the roof pieces specifically, they drop deer hide instead of lox hide

[sharp owl]

I mean since they are also on the same team, maybe Lox are what cows are to Indians.

[balmy onyx]

When is valheim going on ps

[steel mica]

But you do see them go out at night as a group possibly hunting

[merry pebble]

Sometime this year 🙂

[steel mica]

Interesting

Now to the interesting biome, mistlands

[lone rampart]

Bugs eat anything. They're just giant roaches

[merry pebble]

Bugs eat other bugs 😄 + some dvergrs

[lone rampart]

and the young eat royal jelly produced by the queen and taken to their nests by the seekers

[steel mica]

Theres my answer lol

But whats there to hunt really

[lone rampart]

🐇

[steel mica]

Hares are fast

[lone rampart]

Bunnies an' shrooms

Every day's just bunnies an' shrooms.

[sharp owl]

so nukes are also out of the question

[steel mica]

the gjall 🤔

They should be eating something to be able to fire off fireballs

[lone rampart]

I imagine the gjall are scavengers. They drift around until they find some suitable remains, then descend to feast. The decomposition also adds gasses to their body to maintain lift.

[merry pebble]

The magic shrooms maybe?

And anything they can get their "hands" on 😄

[lone rampart]

They have bile bags to explain the fire

[merry pebble]

Now this is a good answer i think 😄

[steel mica]

Could also explain why there are ticks on giant remains

[lone rampart]

Basically it produces a liquid that becomes flammable when exposed to air

[keen trench]

i always seen the gjall as a tick colony that infested a Jotun brain and took flight, so in my theory Gjall eats soft tissue

[lone rampart]

Yeah, they aren't getting any blood out of those old bones...but they're just waiting for a big tasty gjall to drift close

also why they jump >.<

[steel mica]

The only thing capable in their clan that can break the tough bones are the seeker soldier

And maybe the queen if she ever goes out

She has the capability to dig through black marble in the citadel

[steel mica]

You do occasionally find jotun remains with just the ribcage so that could be a thing aswell

Honestly thinking about what that would look like kinda gives me the ugh feeling

Now the queen herself 🤔

[keen trench]

yeh in a "lore" and not game mechanic logic a single tick could infiltrate in a skull without breaking bone, then the pressure of the whole colony would pop the whole thing, skeleton missing heads is a very good support theory to that

[storm sinew]

Just finished a sealed tower with a bit of cheese xD

[sharp owl]

While the Dverlerglers are the last remaining resistance to keep the bugs from overrunning everything. basically the Night's Watch.

[steel mica]

The dvergrs are similar to the viking player really

[merry pebble]

They are there mostly to reclaim their mines iirc

[steel mica]

farm, scavenge, hunt

[steel mica]

Its a creepy thing really that most of the remaining dvergrs are confined to the surface and are now low in population

What on earth happened in those mines

You sometimes see dead ends with a dark entrance but you cant go any further

[merry pebble]

Well, i believe that the dvergrs we see are just a small portion of thir population, rest should still be in their homeworld 😄

[sharp owl]

Probably a serious tragedy like internet outtage

[steel mica]

Kinda ominous

[merry pebble]

Seekers happened 😄

[steel mica]

Still thats insane that originally there were alot more but now less

[merry pebble]

True, but that could also be just them retreating back home, not neccesarily being wiped out 🙂

[steel mica]

Really shows are terrifying the seekers are from the perspective of a dvergr

[steel mica]

Norse dwarfs do have the capability to teleport

[merry pebble]

In fact, some of their quotes do suggest that they still have a way to go back home basically anytime. 😄

[steel mica]

Sindri from god of war

[tacit crystal]

Unless they fall for my axe.

[frigid anvil]

Are gjall trophies good?

Well, are they useful

[merry pebble]

-# I see the private Skullplittur emote

[steel mica]

If you like to give your viking PTSD yes

[tacit crystal]

They have one recipe later.

[steel mica]

Seriously most people's reaction after seeing a gjall for the first time is absolute panic

And I dont blame them

The blob clan 🤔

Blobs, oozers, growths, ice blobs, and lava blobs

I like talking about this kinds of miniature things thats not really important lol

makes my brain tingle

[keen trench]

yeh it's fun, blobs are undead so maybe "dead is dead" works for them

[steel mica]

growths though, you find skeletal remains around their pits

So they... consume? or rather absorb the kill

[keen trench]

ofc, by the size of the ribs i would guess that those are lox that got stuck

[merry pebble]

Maybe just protecting their territory/pit and those are already decomposed remains? 😄

[steel mica]

We have like a few more but I wanna go onto ashlands

Volture and asksvin pretty obvious

Both are scavengers

I'd consider asksvin as pack hunters

[keen trench]

all the others are either demons or undead, no eating

[steel mica]

THE MORGEN

I occasionally see them digging up something

And shoving it in their maw

[keen trench]

demon!

[merry pebble]

Considering the skeletons at their caves, they sometimes eat asksvin 😄

[steel mica]

Alot of asksvin

[keen trench]

#valheim-chat message 👈 well at leas no eating for sustainance, but for fun 😈

[steel mica]

But if we take game mechanic out the way and just focus on logically

Asksvin would probably be aggressive towards all creatures in ashlands

[tacit crystal]

One reason why I find it odd there are Asksvin skeletons around volture nests and putrid holes but they don't fight each other.

[steel mica]

The charred clan are a clan so they work together

[keen trench]

now that i think of it even the player is undead, that would explain why you can't die of hunger

[steel mica]

Morgen I'd consider its own kind

[merry pebble]

That i could imagine being a gameplay decision, since if they did it would be a lot less challenging in ashlands 🙂

[steel mica]

We are reborn in valheim

[keen trench]

maybe Morgen don't "eat" but absorbs others bones to build self

[steel mica]

fallen Valkyrie would probably be aggressive to all creatures aswell

[tacit crystal]

Maybe bring trio back and make them into animal faction?

[steel mica]

2 asksvin are already pretty strong

But they still fall up against a couple of charred

Warrior and Marksman specifically

Are the ashland creatures considered demon or undead? 🤔

[tacit crystal]

Demon.

Surtlings also belong to Demon faction.

[steel mica]

Aren't they allies with undead?

Both are undead

visually speaking

[keen trench]

oh always thought that charred and lava blobs were undead, my bad

[steel mica]

Charred are logically undead, I mean look at them 🫠

funny bones

[nocturne wolf]

don't think about the names of factions too much, the developers only needed to choose what had the right interactions. stone golems are forest faction but don't spawn in forests

[keen trench]

right, i thought that stone golems were forest because developement-wise evolved from old mountain trolls

[steel mica]

Still weird how the fully healthy and alive and green glowly muscular asksvin team up with the demon against the player 😭

Dev choices im aware because that would make the biome a bit easier

having them as a distraction whilst you run away and skedaddle

Bosses are a bit of a unique one 🤔

We'll get Eikthyr, Moder out if the way

I dont even think the elder consumes anything

But rather absorbs nutrients from the ground

[keen trench]

well bosses are "summoned" anyway, don't walk around needing sustainance, maybe the Queen is the only exception but there the insect hive theory works well on its own

[lone rampart]

They had to be summoned from somewhere, though

Bonemass definitely doesn't consume anything. More like, adds to its collection.

[keen trench]

mh, for the forsaken the field shift a lot towards mythical/mystical/demigod beings, at least a lot more than other mobs imo

[steel mica]

I could imagine the queen tasking the seekers to hunt food for her

Kind of like ant colonies

[steel mica]

The elder was part of the world tree yes?

[keen trench]

eh... that could apply to anything existing in all ten worlds maybe 🤔

for the elder you could be right tho, i have to check lore stone writings, rings a bell

yep "The ravens say that in ages past he was a shoot of great Yggdrasil itself and a force of wisdom in the days when men and trees were friends"

[steel mica]

interesting

[keen trench]

that's not even a theory, but official game lore... so case closed for the Elder at least

[steel mica]

Im not sure if this real lore but based on Embr's valheim lore video

But what could be causing the world tree to crack

How strong are the forsaken 🤔

[keen trench]

oh i like Embr content, but sure she fills in the blanks with lots of personal theories (as we are doing rn so it's perfectly fine), but in that case game lore suggest otherwise

in official lore Valheim was "detached" from Yggdrasil by Odin, and the "cracking" is the tree "trying" to reattach... or at least that's what i got from intro and lorestone texts

[steel mica]

The thing is Odin knew something was wrong when the forsaken started coming back despite the world tree being detached so the mere existence of the forsaken definitely had an effect on odin, valheim is a purgatory so odin definitely was not interested in its world, so this was certainly urgent when we got send here to valheim

Odin detached the world tree because valheim is a prison

A prison for the forsakens

[split adder]

how do i get my stuff which is deep in a pool of lava guarded by a fallen valkyrie

[steel mica]

Asksvin

[split adder]

forgot those were tamable

[steel mica]

Or the bombs

that spawns in a platform

[keen trench]

yeh, a place of exile for the "baddies", and the concept that the "baddies" are pushing to reattach is clear, "exactly how" is a bit of a mystery and probably will remain that, at least i hope, i really like the fact that Valheim has a "generic lore" more than a "precise plot", i think it's one of its strong points

[steel mica]

We the vikings in-game are both lucky and unlucky

We are pretty much dealing with Odin's enemies

But we are also in a prison

So in theory we could get stuck there

But at the same time its a challenge

A chance to prove to Odin and ascend to Valhalla

[keen trench]

eheh, i remember i said this before so sry about that, but the lore rang a rl bell "oh you're the best of my employees, so stay for some very difficult overtime before going to relax and drink meads"

[steel mica]

Still that sucks honestly lol

Imagine finally getting the peace after a relentless battle in Midgard

Only to be promoted as the prison guard

[keen trench]

ofc, being amongs "the best warriors" would grant Valhalla for sure if it wasnt for this "mishap" eheheh

[steel mica]

"ok you did well, you deserve valhalla, but I have one more task, beat my enemes to death lol"

[keen trench]

Belinda Carlisle philosophy intensifies

[steel mica]

I can just imagine Odin going "alright I have reborn the strongest of our warriors to fight the forsaken, we shall see if he wort- is he beating eikthyr with a glowing stick what the f-"

Valheim lore in a nutshell
"Forced into a prison, now YOU have to deal with the prisoners inside"

[near furnace]

@hexed plume english only please 🙂

[solemn crown]

Leaving my mainland for the firat time. Path to the next boss is either over ocean, or through the mountains, and I'm not ready for the cold. Wish me luck!

[umbral gate]

good luck fellow traverler 🙏

[solemn crown]

Well, I landed, started fixing up a stone tower with wood planking, and while my back was turned, a bear destroyed my raft.

Luckily, I brought a forge and a portal with me.

[dark coyote]

always carry portal mats

[honest frigate]

Well said

And then always have a blank portal at base temporary portal

[frigid anvil]

can you build those spiral staircases in Dvergr towers?

[near furnace]

yes

[frigid anvil]

FUCK yes

[near furnace]

you're welcome

[fossil delta]

We now have the doors too. I remember when someone said we couldn't have them...

[near furnace]

you got to decide between the dvergr door, and something else

community picked dvergr door

so they missed out on something else

[fossil delta]

Looks to me like there is plenty of room left to add it too. 😄 😄

[near furnace]

Hm.. yeah

so we should start to delete deep north build pieces 🤔

[fossil delta]

Maybe. Depends on what structures your going to show us with new build materials.

[nocturne wolf]

why not both?

[near furnace]

so you not seen those hervor videos and news articles

[fossil delta]

I have not watched the videos, no. I have read the articles.

[near furnace]

@fast dome that's why we have #self-promotion

[stray swallow]

dvergr door had me happy for months

[fast dome]

sorry, its not meant to be a promo. just a funny

[near furnace]

then #memes-and-clips works

[fossil delta]

I love that door. I have yet to try the two new ones. I never play long enough to get the spare flametal.

[near furnace]

but anything YOU have made, just put it in either channels

[fast dome]

i dont do youtube anymore. last video 5+ years ago.

[fossil delta]

There are already plenty of videos on you tube about the catapults.

[near furnace]

litterally 100's

don't think people ever will get tired of people getting yeeted 🤔

[fossil delta]

Its fun. 😄

[silk token]

well i have to at least ask, what was the other choice besides the door?

[fossil delta]

I also love the "Don't put your favorite item on a catapult..." videos.

[near furnace]

https://giphy.com/gifs/perfect-shot-trebuchet-Smdls7tzTpqr6

[fossil delta]

Trebuchets are just awesome.

[dark coyote]

those are painfully tight, I ended up doing a 3x3 ramp, I wish there was a wider 3x3 spiral staircase.
#mods-screenshots message

[fossil delta]

I forget, but I think it was those long pillar pieces we find in the basement and flooring of the towers.

[silk token]

ive started using slanted core wood logs next to each other and sprinting up them for faster steep stairs lol.

[silk token]

oh the like.... metal reinforced looking wood beams?

[fossil delta]

No, the real long square piece, but it could have been those. Like I said, I forget.

[silk token]

hm. either way, hexagon door is better. ok im happy.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, thats all I actually remember, its what I wanted. 😄

[frigid anvil]

Do I have to fight the Dvergr for progression in the mistlands

[feral grove]

Have to? Technically no, but that's the most direct way to do it.

They have an item you need, but you don't need to be the one to break their stuff.

[frigid anvil]

I see I see

If I do break their stuff, do ALL Dvergr immediately become hostile, or only the ones I fight

[merry pebble]

Just the ones in the area 🙂

[frigid anvil]

great

I can keep my Gjall-slaying neighbors

[nocturne wolf]

If you don't need to come back to the area it can be faster to break the crate and run

recently I used a gjall as a distraction then broke the crate and jumped from the roof of a tower

[fossil delta]

They will chase you for a long time too. Much like the grey dwarves will.

[ebon rune]

So I haven't played Valheim in years. And I came back, made it home from the swamp with my iron scrap, popped some ingots, and then went to look at craftables and I just about lost my mind seeing 30 bars.

But then I realized, when you account for the 2:1 copper:tin ratio, Bronze wasn't much better.

🤭

[merry pebble]

Thats just how it is 😄 as a trade of we dont have to use any materials for repairs

[silk token]

yeah, comparable, sometimes cheaper since a bronze ingot is 3 ingots, iron sword is less ingots than bronze sword at 8 bronze or 20 iron

[light moat]

The name of that user is the first red flag 😂

[thin wadi]

whys that

[light moat]

Say the name out loud 👀

One of the oldest tricks in the book lol

[noble warren]

Gottem

[shy marlin]

Watch out for GobbleDeez too

[odd snow]

Any tips on how to find wild beehives or it’s just look around abandoned structures?

[fossil delta]

Yep. Just keep an ear out for the buzzing, and go find it when you hear them.

There is only one structure in the BF to have them, so its much easier once you go into the BF.

In that there is only one structure to even check, instead of all of them.

[steel mica]

Honestly just have a habit to search any meadows structure as it might contain a beehive

Honey is use for practically all meads

[tacit crystal]

With some exceptions.

[merry pebble]

Lingering meads, barley wine and most bog witch meads dont use it 😄

[weary egret]

same, i havent played my save in awhile but i think i had like 20 beehives

it was abit of a overkill

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure I have found them in every structure type. Some much more rarely than others, but from the lean to's to the outhouses and every kind of house, I've found them.

[merry pebble]

They can also be found in certain black forest structures 🙂 but those are quite rare

[fossil delta]

Only one of those, the largest tower with a terrace area.

Usually has fine wood furniture inside as well.

[odd snow]

Is it the stone towers in the Black Forest?

[fossil delta]

Yep. Once specific one. The largest one.

[odd snow]

I need more beehives asap because I’m prepping for the swamps and I need mead and only have one beehive

[fossil delta]

I like to have 6 when I am playing solo. As my minimum.

Eventually I have 30+, because I explore nearly everything.

In my current solo I am over 20 hives, and I still have a lot more to explore. But I am at the point where I am starting to go into Mistlands. So it takes a while to explore enough to get that many.

Heck, I am still searching for Yag.

[odd snow]

I need to do more exploring on my mainland area. But yeah I need to search everywhere to see if I can find more beehives

Because there’s no way I can get through with just one

[fossil delta]

I start making tons of meads once I get fire wine, but fortunately you don't need honey for all of them. Such as fire wine. Still, yeah, I want at least 6 hives, but the more, the better, since if nothing else I can turn it into coal in the obliterator.

[steel mica]

Now that im thinking about it, you dont technically need to beat the bosses to conquer the next biome

[merry pebble]

After mountains you start to get into bit of trouble regarding your gear tho 😄

[steel mica]

Eikthyr can be skipped to use trolls instead for mining copper nodes

Elder does suck a bit cause sunken crypts are the most consistent way of farming iron but you can still get iron other ways

Bonemass wish bone just makes finding silver easier

Moder is the worst case because most of the plains gear are locked behind the artisan table

Yagluth you can explore the mistlands if you're experienced enough and following your wits

The queen the drakkr is needed to "access" ashland but funnily enough you can get lucky with the spires spawning at the boundaries of ashlands or bring a ton of wood and feather cape and jump across the spires

Fader remains unknown

[steel mica]

Yeah the gears are locked behind artisan

Even some of the gears in mistlands and ashlands require artisan table

Your best armor at that moment is either silver armor or fenris replacing chestplate with root harnesk

[shy marlin]

i'm going to be big sad if fader is another hard gate like moder is

[merry pebble]

Most in fact 😄 the best weapon you can get without artisan table is Krom iirc

[shy marlin]

krom / arbalest / carapace spear

[steel mica]

arbalest will probably be your go to in ashlands

[merry pebble]

-# Ofc you would know that

[steel mica]

Since most of the enemies can delete you without effort if they hit you

[steel mica]

Hard to think of an item that'll make deep north harder 🤔

The deep north is cold so my thought would be we use fader's scale as a sort of resistance to the cold

[shy marlin]

which could make fader a hard lock on progression

[steel mica]

Since fader does possess the emerald flame

[shy marlin]

which would make me a bit sad

[near furnace]

you want to play oposite game?

DN -> ashlands -> mistlands ?

[shy marlin]

yea i want to play valheim in the wrong way

just cuz

[near furnace]

if you just knew what i cheezed fridays playtest 😄

[steel mica]

you missed the part "just cuz im a masochist" 🫠

[shy marlin]

the TEASE

[near furnace]

😄

I summoned my inner reverse-game-speedrunner

have you ever overflowed the game with build pieces to the point that you can build infinitly high due to game taking forever to break build pieces?

[shy marlin]

not vertically

[near furnace]

ah

[shy marlin]

but horizontally

[near furnace]

so you haven't climed 🤔

[shy marlin]

not yet cause there hasn't been a reason to 🤔

[near furnace]

true 🤔

not even in swamps to get inside dungeons without a key?

[shy marlin]

well

[near furnace]

or queens fight?

[shy marlin]

🪑 gets those 2

[near furnace]

indeed

[shy marlin]

but yea theoretically could do that

[near furnace]

I like "what if" testing

[nocturne wolf]

What if a player doubled their mass

[near furnace]

chunky player

[steel mica]

I can kinda imagine fader's scale use as some sort of recipe for the player to consume as a permanent buff that resist them to the cold showing the quote "The emerald flame courses through your veins"

But still a hard gated item 🤔

[fossil delta]

So we are going to have a new cold thats colder than freezing, which we have already?

[steel mica]

Probably

I mean it IS the deep north

The coldest region on earth are the two poles

[fossil delta]

Are they going to make a second slot for our cloaks?

So we can double up?

[steel mica]

Considering that we also have inventory issues now could be a possibility but who knows really 😕

[north lance]

Will Valheim ever add another dimension?

[fossil delta]

Well, I guess it spossible. I mean, with Ashlands, they showed there is too hot for fire resistance.

[fossil delta]

Doubtful, unless they make the North a new dimension. Valheim is ending with The North.

[steel mica]

Hard to say really, considering that deep north is the last biome available in valheim

[steel mica]

Before mistlands was added were there already place holder biomes for the mistlands?

[fossil delta]

Yep. The spiderweb lands and then the surtling lands for Ashlands.

[north lance]

Sad to turn away from doing any more updates when the game is doing well considerably. 26k players daily is no push over of a game accomplishment.

[fossil delta]

Who is turning away?

[north lance]

You said Valheim will end on The North, assumed you meant that's all they wish to conclude with for content wise.

[fossil delta]

Biome wise it is, thats always been the plan. This isn't a never ending MMO.

[north lance]

Of course, I kind of always viewed it as Minecraft in some sense when it comes to updates and whatnot.

[fossil delta]

They have mentioned adding minor content after 1.0, but there will be a day when they are simply finished.

[north lance]

Sad days but like all good books!

[fossil delta]

I have gotten over 5000 hours without even using mods. So I have tons of hours to still look forward to.

[north lance]

With mods nowadays, anything is possible

[fossil delta]

Absolutely. Like with Skyrim I wouldn't even have 100 hours, but with mods, I have thousands of hours.

[north lance]

Saw a gigantic overhaul with some biomes, whether by addition or just completely working on new ones. As well extending the world, anything is possible in the hands of a Tony Stark

[fossil delta]

There are several over haul mods for Valheim I am looking forward to trying. So yeah.

[narrow canyon]

hey do u guys know how to level up bow skill fast? im abt 8 hours into valheim and my bow skill is at like lvl 28(im on normal difficiulty)

[shy marlin]

stone golem in pit

or use the archery target

can make it go fast if you bind a key to a emote

[narrow canyon]

Archery target levels up bow?

[shy marlin]

yea

[narrow canyon]

Tufff

[storm sinew]

The obliterator if u put like 50 wood you get 50 coal in return?

Like 1:1 ratio?

[shy marlin]

not sure on that one

but you can go to a later biome and directly convert wood to coal

[north lance]

You can also find treasure about in meadow's graves with wooden weapons ( like mace, axe, etc ) after you've already made a wooden sword and hit the T.W.I.G to increase proficiency

[narrow canyon]

dont think i can make twig i only have 1 ecto

[north lance]

Easy to find, just more burial chambers or dungeons with ghosts

[storm sinew]

I just did it, so its not 1:1 ratio, 50 wood equivalent into 10 coal

[narrow canyon]

yea shootin archery target is takin a longg time

[eternal blade]

If you don't want to involve charcoal kiln, the easiest way is to play with fire hazard on, build a wood pile then hit it with torch until it breaks into 50 coal

[shy marlin]

that too

[eternal blade]

that's how I get all my coal nowadays

[shy marlin]

just gotta make sure the ole house doesn't burn down in the process

[eternal blade]

yeah, I build my bases with overdimensioned fireplaces due to that. Hearth is safe, but I won't be hauling iron to every outpost

[dim trellis]

holy cow

[silk token]

honestly just play the game and shoot things and dont worry about what level anything is, if you need max bow level to play you’re doing something wrong, there might be something to fix easier and quicker than afk grinding on an archery target

[fossil delta]

Besides you have to hit 20,000 targets without dying AND make those 20,000 arrows to get the skill to 100.

Another reason to always have your rested bonus active. 😄

[shy scarab]

how do i use the fishing road? fish keeps breaking off

[fossil delta]

Probably best to watch a you tube video on fishing.

Its not easy to describe with words.

[eternal blade]

best way is from the boat. Sit at the helm after casting it, reel it in until it's almost taunt, then slowly paddle through the school of fish. If they bite when the boat is moving, they'll get hooked automatically, and since you'll be sitting very close to surface, you can reel them in quickly

[slow flicker]

I love fishing in most games except valheim. That is the most mind numbing activity in valheim lol

[silk token]

yeah, fair, ive seen better fishing in other games. favorite fishing in a video game ready set go. stardew valley!

[slow flicker]

Rdr2 has THE best fishing mechanics for a game that isn't a survival or fishing based game

[fossil delta]

Pretty sure they never intended to make fishing an important time sink.

Its mostly useless after the plains as it is.

[silk token]

REALLY. lol i didnt even know those games HAD fishing. i never played them ill have to look

[slow flicker]

Yea you first learn to fish in like chapter 2. I spent 6 to hours fishing in rdr2 on several occasions lol

[silk token]

true true, i feel like a lot of games add fishing because fishing and it's usually meh

[slow flicker]

Fishing is very meh in valheim besides you get better food from everything else anyway so is more just a time consuming thing. I don't even bother getting a fishing rod anymore lol

[fossil delta]

I could shave gone without knowing there are starred Morgens.

[slow flicker]

There's starred everything minus bosses unless you have a mod for it lol

[silk token]

same, the only dish i can think of potentially useful is the mistlands fish, but for troll potions i get enough trollfish from fish yeeting themselves onto land lol

[silk token]

aaaaaaaaakshooally. not golems, abominations, serpents, valkyries... that might be it.

[slow flicker]

Yea the mistlands fish wrap thing whatever it's called is about the only useful fish food but is it really even that much worth spending hours upon hours searching for the fish and then trying to catch enough to make enough food to last awhile? I say no it's not lol

[fossil delta]

Lox?

[silk token]

dahhh damnit lol misse dthem too

drakes!

...cultists? fenring?

[slow flicker]

Oh yea not lox. Though I swear I've seen a 1 star golem before but could be wrong

[silk token]

bats

[shy marlin]

starred bats in howling cavern

starred cultists and fenrings in howling cavern raid

[silk token]

goblin shaman

ok theres a lot of them lol

[shy marlin]

starred shaman in sealed tower...

[silk token]

this concludes my aaaaaaakshooally

[storm sinew]

Do shamans have aphotic shield that explodes or that is just fireball?

[blazing cobalt]

Sooo, last time I was exploring a plains I was using the passive enemies setting where mobs only agro if you attack them. I am on my normal world now, and I proceeded to walk into a fuling village planning to take them out one by one. That's how I ran half way across a plains with an army of fulings and deathsquitos chasing me.

[narrow canyon]

best way to get ectoplasm? i cant find any ghosts

[slow flicker]

Keep searching crypts that's really the only way

[silk token]

no they don't splode

[sharp owl]

isn't that dota's Abadon? 😄

[silk token]

oo and .. whatshisname. i havent moba'd in so long. the LoL guy with the axe.

except that one damages if you DONT destroy it...

[sharp owl]

in prefer the adult game.
Don't mind me stirring up the unnecessary shit storm

[silk token]

sion!

haha do ppl refer to LoL as the kid version of dota2?? never heard that before

[sharp owl]

If I would adress this I would seriously stir the shit stew 😄

[silk token]

lol arite lets not. i dont care enough about either of them to have an opinion

[sharp owl]

both are good, if you can stomach the absolute top contestants for most toxic game environment 😂

[silk token]

imean thats why i stop playing MOST mmo's is icant take the people anymore

like ohhh sorry yeah i only did the most damage and healing and experience gained SORRY I MADE US LOSE

[sharp owl]

well MMO's are like kid's birthday parties compared to mobas 😄

[silk token]

my brain meant MOBAs' not MMOs its broken cuz toddler

[sharp owl]

😄

semi high moba lobbies is where satan gets bullied into tears.

you know, where people think they are actually good

[silk token]

the video game version of dunning kruger

[sharp owl]

hahaha exactly that

when going into the swamp at night I really gotta enable my monitor's "FPS mode", otherwise it's too damn dark sometimes.

Then I forget to switch it back and recognize it, when wondering why the game looks like crap elsewhere.

[silk token]

spose ta be dark its a spooky swamp

[sharp owl]

after coming back from when Mistlands wasn't even out yet, I gotta draw my anecdotal verdict in. Vanilla is really smooth, but the Infested Mines are the games peak spike in difficulty.

[tepid prawn]

what about mysterious location, fortress, or a random assortment of unlucky starred nightspawns in ashlands

[sharp owl]

when the lottery goes against you, you end up in a 3by3 room with 5 veteran bugs.

[silk token]

i do battleaxe in infested mines, it just means they're packed tigher together for me

[tepid prawn]

demolisher works alright too

[sharp owl]

I like to play with CLLC that gives up to 3-4 stars and those bugs one shot you through parries, but yeah that's my choice.

[tepid prawn]

thankfully no archer or magic bugs

[silk token]

i would think a 4 star something would be a difficulty spike anywhere.

[tepid prawn]

mods ofc change everything but have to discuss that in the right channel #mods-discussion

[storm sinew]

Have you guys found your rocky in your black forests?

[sharp owl]

thing is at this stage of the game you don't really have the setup to tear through those bugs and there's not much room for outplay. I mean ofc someone might have farmed like crazy and has tier 3 in every slot

[tepid prawn]

2 star of some places are tough enough as is

I have played less in Ashlands lately and don't actually remember if Valks can have stars

[sharp owl]

i'm trying the Return to Die thing now, that's really supposed to clobber my ass.

[tepid prawn]

ah good

2 star morgen is definitely a challenge if you also have some archers and asks with stars near you, I often try to bait friendly fire and die in the process, or sometimes I live haha

[sharp owl]

imo as long as you have at least a big of space you can pull of crazy things as an experienced player. However the mines crank you in a loony cell with giant roaches 😄

or in the end it's a me-issue

(skill)

I'm also the guy who NEVEr uses their "god mode". I just forget about it.

not even sure what you would use there? Bonemass?

while it lets you block longer, you don't get a higher block armor value, right?

[silk token]

doesnt increase block armor no

imean if ur planning on touching a 4 star seeker, dont.

[storm sinew]

I noticed in the wiki that there are no color difference of a starred morgen yet?

[sharp owl]

outside of mines that' fine, but you don't really get the choice in there 😄

[silk token]

i think 4 star seekrs is why cheese exists, i dont care for them

[sharp owl]

unless you are willing to traverse more of that amazing biome with a sight range to maybe tie your shoes.

well, that's a bid of an overstatement

nah I really gotta say as, ment as constructive cirticism, I really like all the biomes and the game becomes continuously better to being just great meanwhile, but the Mistlands really isn't where it shines.

Introducing difficulty while hampering smth like sight has never turned out to be a concept the customer liked.

the part where visibility mods for Mistlands are among the most downloaded ones speaks for itself.

[mental wren]

Hey there's a scammer down in the fanart channel and below

[sharp owl]

what does he sell?

[mental wren]

Dunno it's that crypto scam I think

It's spamming channels

[silk token]

i appreciate the concept of the fog, it's just a little much. idk what the fix is, it clears MORE, it clears for LONGER, i like the mystery and pushing through the fog but can i breath a little, can't see and even if you could you can't move because everything you have to sprintjump up

[sharp owl]

imo a system to continuously upgrade your fog vision would be great.

[light moat]

Got him reported, should he cleaned up soon if any mods are available

[vast jewel]

#building-screenshots

Posted it in most channels.

[light moat]

Yeah usually happens every so often. They typically post in any channel where you can post images.

[sharp owl]

yeah the fog by itself is fine. Being able to improve the Whisplight would be a cool thing. it's the combination of the kind of terrain combined with the fog, that really can frustrating if you e.g. don't know the dungeons are like usually in coastal areas and so on.

or that really want to constantly pop like lingering stamina with the jump beer.

[silk token]

ohmygod... so im trying to find elder no map, i'm going SO FAR. i dont remember when i first hit swamp, i've passed plains, what's definitely moder's mountain, now it's just pure plains and still nothing, i keep finding markers pointing me further and further

is there a MAX spawn location for elder??

[sharp owl]

there are multiple spawn locations. In the end he spawns in the first one you discover.

[silk token]

that was not my question

[sharp owl]

true, sorry

but I mean, you get the pointers in the skeleton dungeons?

[silk token]

ya, and i use my fence to save the direction

its been sending me hard east for days and days, multiple BF biomes with markers doing the same

[sharp owl]

fence for directions?

[silk token]

ive got a full cart on my karve loaded up with berries and gold and what not, i found like 3 perma base locations, its been so long.

[sharp owl]

I still don't get it 😄
you read the scribblings and then you know the exact location.

[silk token]

yeah, for no map, when you click the marker, ti turns your camera toward the boss, you pull out your hammer and point a thing that way, then when you leave the crypt pull ou thet hammer again and it points the direction

[ebon rune]

Just died halfway across the world to a damn mosquito because my boat doesn't understand the concept of paddle forward.

That's enough Valheim for me today.

[sharp owl]

If it's really like an hour to travel there I'd consider debug mode tbh. While it surely conflicts with immersion and so on, in the end stuff gotta be worth your time.

[ebon rune]

That's a thing?

[thin marlin]

im looking to join or play with someone. Maybe start fresh

[sharp owl]

you could just teleport there

devcommands > debugmode > ctrl middle mouse let's you teleport anywhere. Or just fly.
But in the end I wouldn' let it become a habit.

[slow flicker]

Check #1024264966712340510

[sharp owl]

in Vanilla the root armor is so BIS

[slow flicker]

Bis?

[shy marlin]

best in slot

[vast jewel]

This new keyboard might have made Valheim too easy.

[gray sand]

If armor mattered at all when blocking I would agree.
As it stands.. Meh. Overhyped armor.

[vast jewel]

Because it has snaptap, if I constantly hold W I can hit an enemy, tap S to get enough distance to avoid an attack, and without inputting again I'll instantly walk back into range to attack.

But then, I also added a macro to 1/2 of my space-bar that does a dodge with 1 input.

[sharp owl]

the chest's pierce resistance is significant, plus it doesn't slow you down

[gray sand]

"Significant" -- If you don't block, yes.

[shy marlin]

root chest is -2% but yea it's still prolly the best chest piece in the game

resistances are op

[vast jewel]

Root gear is pretty OP.

[sharp owl]

the #1 that actually hits you are a bunch of archers not even in your view, even if you know what you 're doing. Hence why it's used by like every speed runner

but you can always have an elitist take on everything

[gray sand]

What the fuck?

[paper marsh]

Ehh

Bows are OP but you don’t really need root armor to make that the case

Mask is just a weaker version of poison resist, which blocks you from using a high armor helmet

But harnesk is definitely broken if you’re playing on anything above easy

[gray sand]

Pointing out the true fact that armor is irrelevant when blocking == "Being elitist"....
Ok?

[vast jewel]

Yeah, for bows it is a waste of time in my opinion.

The Harnask is the only reason I get the root set.

[shy marlin]

the + 15 to bows in the early stages of the game where your bow skill is a lil low is nice, but it's really not all that impactful overall imo

I was surprised that the combat update didn't address the root harnesk.

[paper marsh]

(Personally I do rely on the poison resist from helmet, but Thats just because I ban all the elemental resist meads from my playthrough)

[gray sand]

You mention pierce resist is good.
I point out how blocking doesn't interact with armor.
You mention most of what hits you outside of blocking pierce
Valid point, I would have zero comeback.
You mention most speedrunners use Root Harnesk
Also a valid point, I have no argument here.
You then go on to say I am being elitist.
Why? What possible reason is there to add something like this? You made the 2 most valid points in response to what I said. Personal insults after-the-fact just make you look like a dick without cause or purpose 🤷‍♂️

[sharp owl]

what I said.
Helm is kinda nice to have for bonemass, but is irrelevant if you don't get poisoned.

[vast jewel]

Fenris is probably the only set in the game I ever wear other than the Bear set, and I only wear the Bear set because their AI is laughable.

Place 1 campfire and the Bear panics.

[chrome badge]

I wouldn't say their AI is laughable so much as you are just using their fear of fire properly.

[sharp owl]

exactly this. One of the first thing you learn with the scouts is to make a campfire when a bear is coming for you 😄

[vast jewel]

It is kind of laughable. I placed 1 campfire and the Bear ran into a corner and stood there for 5 minutes while I punched it. (bare fisted, it was the start of the game)

[shy marlin]

Pathfinding could certainly be improved 🤔

I often see them getting stuck on trees / bushes

[vast jewel]

Fist only runs supreme. 🗿

[sharp owl]

it really is weird sometimes. When you have the occasional mob, that runs aimlessly around you and when you hit it you get a sneak attack, like it never saw you.

[chrome badge]

I mean, that's still just you cornering it.

[vast jewel]

I didn't corner it. It ran directly into a bush and a tree, and stood there.

[chrome badge]

That's an intended behavior, mobs will give up pursuit if they haven't landed a hit in a set amount of time. This can result in cycling back to the player.

[chrome badge]

Because you placed a campfire near it.

[sharp owl]

clear case of game exploit and animal abuse

[vast jewel]

Blind mobs,

It is an immersion mechanic.

[chrome badge]

It's likely to keep backend pathfinding from lasting an eternity.

[dim trellis]

poked their eye on a tree branch

[chrome badge]

Resulting in memory leaks over time.

[vast jewel]

Greydwarfs have been pealing onions. Leave them alone.

[dim trellis]

no give me the onions

[sharp owl]

but that's something everyone experiences at some point 😉

[dim trellis]

i will light my memory on fire

[chrome badge]

Unless you're designed well hehe

[sharp owl]

If you don't play some kinda mage and take advantage of Queen's power, there isn't really a combat Forsaken Power till you've beaten Fader? I mean bonemass isn't bad, but since it doesn't increase block armor it also does not seem that crazy.

[frigid musk]

what should i do with all my black metal bruh i have way too much

[sharp owl]

make coal 😄

[shy marlin]

yagluth

eik/moder are also indirectly offensive powers

[chrome badge]

Bonemass and Iron Brooch paired together are essentially temporary god mode.

[chilly dust]

We should be able to make wolf food that lasts longer

[sharp owl]

like jerky?
h3h3

or canned dog food

[paper marsh]

I’d say Bonemass and yag are very combat focused, and pretty good

Though as scales brings up, personally I prefer eik or moder in a fight. Movement is key

[sharp owl]

I have always overlooked the 10% movement speed on Moder up until now 🤦‍♂️

So I ended up mostly using Eik for movement as you said.

interesting comparism would be, which one is actually better

[shy marlin]

i'd say eik b/c you can get same benefit from speed mead

[sharp owl]

probably

[shy marlin]

and honestly +15% speed from the mead is more than enough

[steel mica]

Thats proof that 8 biomes were planned

[sharp owl]

I mean one could make the argument, that you would never sprint and only punch and regen with Moder, but...

[steel mica]

I believe the placeholder for the mistlands was just well a placeholder, possibly thinking of ideas on what to add on those locations, until we got actual mistlands

[paper marsh]

To be fair it’s semi recent they added speed to Moders power

[sharp owl]

that's my excuse

Lightning damage does the stagger, but not stun thing, right?

but it still breaks animations like attacks?

[paper marsh]

Staggering an enemy stuns them and makes them take extra damage

Lightning stagger works the same as hitting them with blunt/pierce/slash

[sharp owl]

so it doesn't cancel like a swing?

[paper marsh]

It does

Hitting someone with lightning damage is no different from hitting them with like a sword

If you do enough damage they’ll get stunned, flail their arms around, and take double damage, for like a couple seconds

[storm sinew]

So, before i try to fight a fallen valkyrie guarding the flametal ore vein, i prepared some meads like fire and poison res, then the fallen valkyrie hp got shredded from my level 4 arbelist and level 4 mistwalker, like it dies so quick

[abstract warren]

Wtf sleeping doesn't speed up eitr production?

[merry pebble]

As in the eitr refinery production? It does, but depending on when you go to sleep you will skip different amount of time by doing so. I e when you go to sleep as soon as you are able to you will skip more time than if you are going to sleep just before the morning 🙂

[abstract warren]

Hmm

I guess it's just slower than I realised then

And maybe I also went to sleep a bit late

Finally got a feather cape

Man it's fun 🪽

[tepid prawn]

Its not if you ever play a character after this and build up high, then suddenly jump and mid jump remember your HP is <100 and you don't have the cape on that new char

[jovial pond]

how can i use the devcommands or cheats in valheim?

[tacit crystal]

You can enable them in settings.

[jovial pond]

and is there a page were i can find the commands to spawn in items for example?

[fossil delta]

The wiki for them.

[tacit crystal]

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

[jovial pond]

thanks

[abstract warren]

That'd be funny

But anyway I focus one character at a time

It'll be a long time before I start a new one

[tepid prawn]

Yeah I only have like 12 or so chars 🙂

[near furnace]

how do you keep track of them?

[abstract warren]

One for each month of the year lol

[tepid prawn]

They all have different names but with a theme, so I just remember what they are, looks like my brain is still somewhat working at 45yo haha. Like "Moon" is my fishing alt, have a char that is replaying my Feb 2021 world thats named after Odins granpa (Búri), then I have chars for different servers and seasons of servers named after Swedish, Norwegian or Danish seafaring heroes or Norse Mythology like Heimdall etc. - works for now haha. - my PTB & testing character I got as well, they all have a purpose so to speak 🙂

[near furnace]

ah

so your 1.0 character will be named "Harald Hårfager" or "Orm den röde" ?

[tepid prawn]

Good ideas both 🙂

at least I have avoided a character called Ragnar!

[near furnace]

lol

[tepid prawn]

the only one from the series is Hrafna-Flóki Vilgerðarson which I had to shorten a tad I think, actually don't know max chars haha and in player lists there is a cutoff too

if too long can't see it on F2 menu ingame on pc

my first ever char that made the first world is different from the naming scheme, he is called ----drumroll---- "Leng" haha

[earnest field]

I think the same golem has been fighting drakes at my silver quarry for like 10 days

[storm sinew]

Should i go with full flametal heavy set or stick with 2 piece of the armor which is the helmet and chestplate and ask trousers?

[umbral gate]

think I might have a really unfortunate seed for these boss locations 😭

so far they have all been in the edge parts of the map

[silk ether]

So many new people...

[near furnace]

https://giphy.com/gifs/workaholics-forsure-oxahPI4vpzbSE

[silk ether]

How long has it been...God I've been playing solo for so long...

[umbral gate]

jus found yag whilst journeying to the edge of the map for moder....

[silk ether]

Oh... You guys are playing right now?

[umbral gate]

solo yea

[silk ether]

Oh... I see...

[sharp owl]

usually a gaming discord is not the place for this, but now it's actually time to talk about politics again. The Greydwarves and Trolls keep settling their feud with the Swamp Crew in my garden and keep messing my stuff up collaterally. I can't be there all the time and the 2 parties seem to be unable to find any kind of common ground.

growing carrots in a warzone is just hard and causes more food scarcity.

[hard token]

hello all - very new to this game - how do i joi a server where i can see others in the world

[silk ether]

Hey there...

[sharp owl]

try #1024264966712340510

[hard token]

if i click Community Server which is the option under Start server, can i still join other servers and my stuff moves across ?

[silk ether]

Usually joining a server means you have to start fresh...

[hard token]

gotcha

[silk ether]

Though you could enter one with an old character and stuff but you might get kicked or banned...

That character you used atleast...

[sharp owl]

in Valheim, you can generally transfer any character to any server (or local world) and retain all of their skills, inventory, and gear. Because character data is stored independently of world data

[hard token]

only just installed the game = not even done anything yet

[silk ether]

Quick tip... It's better to join a fresh server to fully enjoy it rather than joining an already progressed server...

[sharp owl]

so you might wanna get your bearings before joining up first. Just what I'd do.

[silk ether]

Learning the game through a server can be fun but can also be brutal... Normally you'd want to play solo first...

Mind you... The boss gets stronger on a server than in solo...

[open bolt]

was fighting Moder and she broke an entire Silver vein during the fight. I didn't even know that silver vein was there.

[storm sinew]

More silver to mine then

[open bolt]

more like, to collect. since the "mined" it for me xD

[storm sinew]

Wait, she can break silver ore veins?

[hard token]

yeah ive joined my own server and just running around clueless lol

[gritty yoke]

Mornin!!! Up for some Valheiming?

[near furnace]

just follow the birds directions or just go exploring 🤔

[strange cradle]

@near furnace May I ask you something?

[near furnace]

sure

[strange cradle]

Thanks! Ok, when I use the "stats" command, I can see how much time I spent with a certain character in a certain world.

But when I try to compare this to the actual day in the world, it somehow doesn't add up.

I mean, WILDLY conflicting. Not just at a few minutes off.

[near furnace]

it's not functioning

[strange cradle]

Oh.

😄

[near furnace]

it was a test to see "does this work"

[strange cradle]

No surprises there, then. 😄

[near furnace]

nope

it use to work, but it's not being maintained since the "proof of concept" is over

[strange cradle]

Ok, I must find another way to calculate how much hours I've really spent in Valheim. 😄

Since I'm playing mostly in the App Store version of Valheim recently.

So whatever Steam says is only part of what I've actually played. Ok. Thanks a lot!

[wary oak]

I spinned the wheel for 10 different games I should play, and got valheim back to back

guess have to finish it now 💔

[near furnace]

steam should be dead accurate tho

[strange cradle]

It doesn't show my time in App Store Valheim.

How could it?

Mac user here. 😉

[near furnace]

hm.................................................................................................. 🤔

big or small mac?

[strange cradle]

😄

I like big macs. 😄

[near furnace]

never though about that tbh. I got a iMac as a test rig

but never thought about the appstore version and playtime

[strange cradle]

Yeah, no worries. It's just me trying to figure it out.

[near furnace]

you will probably be able to know later when achivements are added. then /stats should work 😄

and show accurate numbers

[strange cradle]

😄

Well, let's hope for 1.0 then!

[dim trellis]

oh my gosh i didnt even consider that there are no achievements

[chrome badge]

Yet

[near furnace]

the game won't have achivements until 1.0 is out

[dim trellis]

when an achievement is added later, does a player get them all at once (for stuff they already did) or does the player have to "achieve" them again?

[near furnace]

we shall see

[storm sinew]

Scariest Charred fortress by far, like getting near it is insane then you just happened to run to a burrowed 2 star morgen
Literally running for my life

[strange cradle]

One star morgen are already a handful... Don't want to even think about a two star... One player on the Steam community called a 2* morgen an "extinction event". I had to laugh, because it's so true. 😄

[storm sinew]

I wonder how many bolts its gonna take to kill a two star morgen

It seems that going for a mage built makes your life a bit easier when doing fortresses, but you have to be very careful ofc

[tacit crystal]

2 star Morgen has almost as much HP as Bonemass, but Bonemass is very resistant against pierce and Morgen is resistant.

[steel mica]

A 2 star could probably just 1 hit you

Because if a 2 star warrior can 1-2 tap a hhs diet player with full flametal

I cant imagine a 2 star morgen 😭

[storm sinew]

Literally run for my life, when i saw morgen 2 star going out from its burrowed ground

[idle storm]

Fun fact: every single morgen attack except the rolling one can be dodged just by walking in a circle around it. And the rolling one does low enough damage to parry even a 2 star.

[tacit crystal]

And there I am, looking for 2 star Morgen as I have never encountered one. 1 star Morgen few times.

[idle storm]

I've found playing mage to be much more survivable than melee personally. That all your attacks are ranged and don't use your stamina bar makes it very easy to not get hit in the first place, you have the bubble staff to catch any one hit no matter how big (and quite a few more than one with high skill) and you have 4 skellies to act as meatshields for you.

And if all else fails and you get mobbed by a horde you drop a troll on them and run.

[storm sinew]

Do you recommend like maxing out the staff instead of the armor?

[idle storm]

hell yes

you should craft the embla robes ASAP, but only for the eitr regeneration

[shy marlin]

really the best part of any mage armor set is the eitr regen, and eitr regen rate doesn't increase as you lvl up the armor

[storm sinew]

Currently wearing full embla set

[idle storm]

the defense is basically negligible since anything capable of being a serious melee threat (morgen and valkyries) will just oneshot you whether it's level 1 or level 3.

what you should do for defense instead is wear the bronze pendant

[storm sinew]

I got hit by a fallen valk spin attack and honestly that packs a punch

While wearing full embla

[idle storm]

because all magic gives adrenaline on cast so it's easy to have constant uptime

[idle storm]

yeah, you can take ONE without your shield, if you're at full health. But your first priority in any fight should be to make distance and refresh your bubble as soon as it drops.

[storm sinew]

On food do you go like one big Health food and the rest is eitr food?

[idle storm]

triple eitr is what i'd recommend. The extra hp doesn't help that much but the ability to just kill things before needing to wait for regen is worth a lot

You can switch one for the Mistland or Ashlands feasts if you want more stam but any less than 2 eitr food leaves you with too little eitr to use magic as your main weapon imo

[merry pebble]

I would recommend EES food combo personally 🙂 since you will want mobility just in general, you still have enough eitr to kill stuff quickly and you dont need hp if you have bubble shield

[idle storm]

EES is nice for a magic/bow hybrid style

dump your eitr bar at the start of the fight then use arrows until it's full again

[shy marlin]

I only go EEE if I'm in a dungeon / fortress time

[merry pebble]

I used it with just pure mage build 😄 and ashlands felt really easy then

[idle storm]

i tried both and almost never used most of the extra stam so i went for moar fireballs instead ❤️‍🔥

though i am running the bronze pendant for extra stam regen

[shy marlin]

it's just more burst dmg with EEE

sustained is practically the same

[idle storm]

well yeah but more burst is the difference between stuff dying before you run out of eitr or you having to dodge while it regens

[shy marlin]

eh idk how true that is

it just means kiting for 3 more seconds at max

[idle storm]

triple eitr usually means no kiting at all because things are dead before they reach you

[shy marlin]

Depends on the encounter

And i've found EEF to be enough to burst down almost every open world enemy currently 🤔

[idle storm]

well yeah, obviously. But i can kill a valkyrie with the ember staff before it can get off an attack which is pretty decent imo

matter of taste really

[merry pebble]

Even morgens? I guess if they are alone it would be quite possible 🤔

[shy marlin]

Sneak hit with bow + frost staff / wilds

either or staff works

[merry pebble]

Ah, yeah i dont usually count with sneak hits in mind xD

[idle storm]

morgen: Spam all your eitr for wild staff at your feet, then run in circles for 15 seconds or so. Morgen dead.

Even the level 1 staff already does a ton of damage, the level 3 is just brutal

[storm sinew]

Got my fireball staff to level 3

[idle storm]

most important magic weapon to upgrade

[storm sinew]

Is there an accessory for mage?
Found it, its the earrings that requires the gjall trophy

[fleet zodiac]

Any tips for getting gear in the mountains without js dying constantly whether to cold or creatures?

[wet wolf]

use cold resistance meads until you get the wolf or lox cape

[idle storm]

a maxed banded shield and swamp-tier food can block every enemy in the mountains.
For wolves hit block as soon as you hear the growl they make when they attack and you'll parry every time.
For stone golems block their overhand attacks, parry the onehanded ones and beat them to death with the iron mace.
For drakes... don't go afk and don't forget to bring arrows? It's basically impossible to die to those with frost resist up if you're not standing still.😂

[storm sinew]

Its possible to destroy the door without destroying the walls right? The middle part of the charred fortress where the loots are

The middle tower

[idle storm]

not as far as i know but you can use the BM pickaxe to mine through the corners opposite the door

[merry pebble]

Yes, but you have to be quite precise with the ram 🙂 going at an angle can help iirc

[storm sinew]

Mine through the opposite corners?

[idle storm]

ram and precise... good luck? Fortunately there are 19 more if the first try fails

mom let me make a screenshot

[merry pebble]

I have done it in the past, but i dont remember if i angled it or just was really precise with centering the ram

[storm sinew]

Can you only use the one punch of the battering ram instead of both? Is that possible?

[merry pebble]

Sometimes they go one after each other, but you cant manually choose, no

[idle storm]

#screenshots message

[storm sinew]

Oh that corner

[idle storm]

takes a while (about 3-4 stam bars usually for me) but it's easier than bringing a ram and leaves the tower intact for your portal

[merry pebble]

Or you can mine under the corner 🙂 that will be faster

[idle storm]

well yeah but then i have a giant hole in my portal room

[storm sinew]

I DID IT! I destroyed the door without destroying the walls with precise middle position of the battering ram

[gray sand]

Nice!

I always prefer breaking the wall because the downward spikes damage the Charred trying to walk through, so it helps kill the groups faster 😄

[storm sinew]

Now to built my base in ashland that will take like hours to do 😅

[foggy glacier]

Did you hit the ram at an angle or straight on?

[grave crow]

is there a way to lead boars

[gray sand]

You can only harpoon them and drag them.

[grave crow]

it seems to want to go towards the fires in my base that its freaked out by lol

[foggy glacier]

wild boars will chase you. have them chhase you into an enclosure and block the door behind them.

[grave crow]

yes unless there are torches/lights present then it will freak out

i just got lucky and it ended up where i wanted it to be lol

[gray sand]

Oh, if this is about taming...
Tame them elsewhere with no fire and then drag them back.

[grave crow]

are tamed boars still freaked out by lights or they should be chill?

[gray sand]

They are chill.

[grave crow]

nice

[short raven]

These Early Axes are waaaaaaaay too good for a starter weapon 😮

[gray sand]

They sit right where they should tbh. Better than Flint but worse than Bronze.

A great addition to the game.

[plush umbra]

im assuming you havent actually tested the dps , they're pretty over powered

[gray sand]

You would assume very incorrectly.

And at that stage of the game, everything dies in 3-4 hits total. So "DPS" isn't exactly a valuable stat.

[plush umbra]

🤣

[short raven]

This is probably why I don't mind it. It surprised me how good they were both in combat and at cutting above tier trees.

[gray sand]

Earlier access to Finewood is their main advantage, and it is really good!

[short raven]

Certainly eliminates the 'break tree with other tree' process for the early bow.

[gray sand]

That is specific to bows 😄
I mainly enjoy the +2-3 extra minutes of Rested Bonus you can get.

As I use spears until I get the Arbalest.

[sharp owl]

i pretty regularly find one peace but never both

[short raven]

On my seed, cleared the whole starting Meadows. Got 5 Curious and 1 Mysterious.

[sharp owl]

now that I think about it... you can't just craft one axe, right?

the item is always the "set"?

[short raven]

Yes, you need 1 of both to craft it. It's a dual wield.

[solemn crown]

Thanks to advice from this sever about using the right weapon for the right target, I now fear no bear, nor any troll.

Both at once is still an issue.

[sharp owl]

you mean you are using the campfire? 😄

[solemn crown]

No, I was using piercing weapons on the bear, and melee weapons on the troll. Not recommended.

[sharp owl]

I was more or less kidding, but the camp and bonfire actually just melt mobs since the dmg stacks.

[solemn crown]

Oh really? I'll have to try that in a few hundred hours. 😂

[short raven]

Only used that trick on the Plains Bears on hardcore mode :3 The new axes melt forest* bears.

[sharp owl]

well it's certainly cheesy, but you can trap mobs and often bosses with fires and just cheese the heck outta the game.

[solemn crown]

Sadly, I have found 3 silver axe heads, and 0 bronze ones. Plus, that would leave me without a shield, wouldn't it?

[short raven]

Yes. It's Hit and Run tactics.

[sharp owl]

Flint Spear and Campfires are like the best weapons until Iron Atgeir

[solemn crown]

I've upgraded to bronze weapons, and only use the atgeir for groups of greylings. The stamina cost and attack speed and lack of shield have turned new away from it.

[foggy glacier]

Have you used the secondary attack of the Atgeir?

[solemn crown]

Against groups of greylings, yes. Is glorious.

[plush umbra]

i just get the abyssal dagger right away

[sharp owl]

I mean it always depends on how fast you wanna go in terms of what you wanna craft. The Flint Spear is just insanely good and Atgeirs stagger like nothing else. Hence good for singular big stuff, too

what it also so worth it. Picking up obsidian and mosquito needles while exploring. both easy to grab unless the mosquito blind sides you and the dmg spike is so big.

and deconstructing the goblin's bonfire to use against them in a village is also pretty neat

[grave crow]

it is overpowered haha

[sharp owl]

if you'd use like "older" seeds like before the Ashlands update. Are those still generating as intended?

[grave crow]

greydwarves are 2 shot

anything that has slash weakness is getting it

[plush umbra]

i wasnt going to argue with bro , he probably doesn't do much combat off normal mode combat

[shy marlin]

Early axes can kill fader

[sharp owl]

Maypoles don't stack, right?

[frigid gust]

Nope

Nor do rugs (any more)

[sharp owl]

I find it quite weird how much people get outta their way to build around that +1 comfort.

[shy marlin]

I miss having 30 min of rested

[frigid gust]

I just wait until springtime and build them as needed 😉 Plus they're cool decoration.

[cosmic summit]

Why does my rested bonus reset when I log out?

[honest frigate]

So u can suffer

[frigid gust]

A number of things get reset when you log out, that's just how it works. Some of it is to prevent "cheesing" of various mechanics, but overall the idea is that you shouldn't log out unless you're in a safe area. Campfires are cheap to make, don't require a workbench, and you can sit by one for like 20s and get a rested bonus anywhere (except rain)

[near furnace]

a number of reasons we as developers have decided.
since we don't want the players to be able to be scummy when in a dire situation, logout, jump back to another world, eat, rest and drink a bunch of potions. then jump back into the dire situation all maxed out.

[shy marlin]

well that also works in the backwards direction

if dead to poison, fire etc, can log out and escape death, same goes for enemy aggro, run into a fuling camp, steal some totems, put some distance between the entire camp --> log out and they are no longer alerted

[frigid gust]

It'll never be perfect unless they tie the characters to the worlds, and they don't want to do that. But they can build basic mechanics that make it less enticing.

[shy marlin]

yea fo sho

[undone forum]

@wide garnet #building-screenshots message I can get you the seed when I get the chance if you want

[versed temple]

Anyone happen to know of a place where I can see creature models from versions past?

[wide garnet]

I can take a look sure 🙂

[near furnace]

what specificly are you looking for?

[versed temple]

Just screenshots of older models of bosses/creatures

trolls without hair, wasn’t there an older Elder & Eikthyr model also?

[wanton hearth]

do you guys make 'checkerboard' for farm fields? if so what do you use for separator?

[lone rampart]

Older Elder, I think older Bonemass (definitely old Bonemass trophy)

[versed temple]

Yeah I remember old Bonemass. Seems like he was one of the bosses people struggled with. Or I remember a lot of complaining about him.

[near furnace]

Troll, elder, bonemass have changed

don't think many others have changed 🤔

[versed temple]

Was there an eikthyr change also? Or was that pre early access?

[near furnace]

ah right. he got some chains and some electric range attacks

[lone rampart]

Chains and electricity is all he’s got! Was he just a big deer before?

[near furnace]

almost

he did have the big AoE attack that pushed you around and did a metric ton of damage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liQLtCLq3tc

some are in this video

oh right. the valkyrie that drops you off also changed

[versed temple]

Oh yeah. I forgot about that one.

[near furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ly2P6powIjw

this trailer have like 0.5 seconds of old Eikthyr

[versed temple]

Oh, and the ghost

That’s recent though

[rapid bison]

The community for this game is largely better than in other high profile games out there, but server side characters without needing a mod would be welcome.
Especially on cross play servers.

[near furnace]

I've explained why this would be a bad thing littterally a trillion times

play with friends. game is designed for that

not random pickup

or people will find a way to cheat

[eternal blade]

Gotta find some new friends that play Valheim then 😄

by the way....I dunno if it was asked before, dunno if the team is even decided on that...will early axes appear in worlds created after 1.0 update?

[versed temple]

Yeah, even friends can cheat… heh

[eternal blade]

then you have wrong friends 😄

[versed temple]

I can’t imagine them removing something from the game. The backlash would be intense.

[versed temple]

Oh, I don’t play online. I pause a lot.

[frigid gust]

The early axes will almost certainly stay, but values of all that are always up for tweaking as balancing passes happen. But I think they're a high-work (and some luck), high-reward weapon at this point, and that's what is intended.

Maybe they'll keep it to just the people that bought it in early access, like the Odin set is for people that pre-ordered 😛

[versed temple]

I think there should be instead, a small chance to generate the item in each chest rather than only in certain ruins.

[near furnace]

yes they will

[eternal blade]

Thanks

[rapid bison]

Oh I agree. It's because of the way the game is designed that we don't see that many toxic or cheating players, especially since every server goes by its own rules.
I was never a fan of public servers myself.

[lusty dirge]

Serverside characters could also be beneficial on a non-public friends-only server though

For instance no more losing items/graves due to a disconnect/crash in an unfortunate moment

Or spawning miles away from your boat after a crash/disconnect

[versed temple]

Agree. I’ve never run a server without it… a lot of folks simply won’t play a server without it. Sure, in a perfect world, play with friends… but some folks don’t have enough friends that can regularly meet up. Some are more casual than what you’d prefer… and some people simply don’t have friends. lol

[umbral gate]

Found both yagleth boss alters before i found moder🔥

What are the dragon tears used for again?

[undone forum]

Artisan table and thats it

[lone rampart]

But artisan table is used for blast furnace, windmills, and other goodies

[undone forum]

I mean if you look at it that way

[pastel kraken]

Hey 👋 I’m new here:) I just finished my second boss and about to go to swamp, what armour is best for it?

[nocturne wolf]

what armor do you have now? Any black forest armor will work well for different playstyles

[pastel kraken]

Blue one from troll

[nocturne wolf]

perfect

[pastel kraken]

Is it antidote is most important part?

[cosmic summit]

I hope some day blast furnaces will work for all ores

[nocturne wolf]

poison resistance mead reduces poison damage by 75% before armor is applied so you take even less than 1/4 of the damage you would otherwise

[dark coyote]

could make it an upgrade for the furnace, like other stations

[pastel kraken]

Thank you 😉 🙏 I have woods next to swamp, I try to find a trolls and leads then to swamp, so they can have a fight with each other for me.

[umbral gate]

Alr

[frigid gust]

Just remember that you can't do that with bosses 😉 They exist outside of the biome conflicts, trolls can't help you with the Swamp boss for example.

[random seal]

Hey does anyone know if the curious and mysterious axe heads are unique like only 1 per world or can there be multiple spawns of them. The early axe heads found in the meadows

[shy marlin]

can have multiple spawns

[random seal]

Ty

[worn steeple]

We ended up with 3 sets of axes and still come across parts.

[odd snow]

I'm literally finding everything but wild beehives

[storm sinew]

Straight on

[odd snow]

WHY ARE THERE NO BEEES

WHY CAN'T WE BE BEES MARK

I FOUND A BEEHIVE

[visual patio]

Olla, are there any mods for Valheim, ''They need to Work'' where it can approve the graphics like an HD version?

[foggy glacier]

Try asking in #mods-discussion

[visual patio]

ty ❤️

[odd snow]

Uuuuuuh, how did I get a raid from the swamp when I haven't even discovered the swamp yet?

I logged out because I'm finished playing for today and I aint dealing with that shi

[worn steeple]

A foul smell from the swamp" is enabled by killing Elder.

[gray sand]

Activates when you kill Elder.

[light moat]

Sometimes you find the swamp… sometimes the swamp finds you!

[odd snow]

I don't want the swamp to find me

will raids still continue after I have logged out?

[worn steeple]

No, they pause until youve stayed in the marked area for as long as the set raid lasts.
It needs to finish while you're in the area

It varies from 80 to 150 seconds, depends on what raid you get

[fossil delta]

Sometimes some of them will hang around long after the raid ends. Like Just last night I was finding Surtlings near by, and that raid was many days ago. 😄 😄

[crisp oxide]

hiii do anyone know how far apart i can place the flametal support beams

[tacit crystal]

Iirc they have same support strength as iron wood beams, with exception that you can build on lava with flametal beams.

[storm sinew]

You have surtlings lurking near by days ago, while me a ghost and a wraith lurking in broad day light 😂

[abstract warren]

I love Mistlands

[abstract warren]

Breaking open ||jötunn skulls|| is rather refreshing after all this mining

[solemn crown]

Blast. Happened across my first Levithian. Got 16 chiten before it dived. I should have taken one or two more swings.

Actualy, more upset that it wasn't a cool island for a base.

[slow flicker]

honestly one of my favorite and most sastifying things to do

[storm sinew]

Speaking of those things, used up all my refined on upgrading my mage gear and weap, time to get more

[storm sinew]

I noticed that after some time, if you stop checking your sap extractors and you only often visit mistlands, the process will be slower?

[silk token]

my experience with sap extractors anyway is that the trees replenish their sap supply about as fast as 1 extractor can extract it. someone with more nerd power can correct me hopefully but i think they have a "tank" of 20 or 30 and you can throw 2 or 3 extractors on and drain it dry and fill the extractors but then you're getting 1 extractor worth after that with all 3 collectively. never had the tree speed up or slow down based on how often i went to it.

[white tree]

hey folks is the 1.0 dropping this year? asking cuz me and the boys want to finish the world before the 1.0

[burnt glen]

We don't know

[abstract warren]

Where do I post screenshots/clips for issues?

Not mod related

[hearty niche]

I think they mentioned the Deep North release will be 1.0? I say it as a question because 1) I swear I read it somewhere but cannot find where and 2) don't wanna be spreading nonsense/hype/false hope.

[fossil delta]

Your right. Its the 1.0 release.

We just don't know when it will be ready for release.

[hearty niche]

I feel like it's a reasonable expectation. I don't think IG owes anyone's expectations any energy but it seems well within the realm of possibilities as well as their previous release cadences and public statements.

And I'm not just saying that because I have a list of about 5 friends who love the game but won't do another playthrough until it's done because it takes so much time investment to really do it right.

One of the early reviews - I think it was before they added Mistlands - was how complete the game felt even in pre-release. It's been fun to see it's development but I kinda wish I could experience it anew at 1.0.

[haughty geode]

I had brena raid in mountains
Except brena got stuck and never got to me
I found that skeleton days after getting smacked by stone golem

[thorny wing]

Is it possible to somehow reset the location of the Targovtsy? I just found a nice place on the map where it shows that Hildir and Haldor spawn nearby. But I already have Haldor spawned in another place.

[chrome badge]

No, you would have to start the world again with the same world seed.

Unless theres a command I am unaware of.

[open bolt]

Took a troll and a bear to a Fuling village. 👍

[worn steeple]

Well, you can restore a backup from before he was found in the first place

[earnest field]

I really love that the game has fights between factions. It Makes the the world actually feel alive

I hate when games have monsters that only attack the player and nothing else

[jolly bison]

the stone golem is my best friend in the mountains

[earnest field]

True, untill its time to smash his head apart with a pickaxe

[jolly bison]

i personally dont feel the need to, crystal is found in abundance in caves

[earnest field]

I dont like them running around and interupting me

[grave crow]

except bosses unfortunately

[steel mica]

I just slap down 5 and they all seem to be full after 2 days

[storm sinew]

2 mins of magic barrier lets go 🧙‍♂️

[storm sinew]

I ran out of plant seeds to feed the chickens then i realised i had like 4-5 stocks of turnips that i can use to plant them for seeds 😂

[open bolt]

Died 5 times in the Ashlands today 💀 just another day...

[silk token]

do you find them all full again after 2 days? like roots generate 20 sap a day that would mean i guess. i always spread my extracters much more than that

[terse raft]

Yesterday evening was our first try on Yagluth, me and my friend. We started the evening by trying to find the spot to fight him.. thought i had found but nope. We took the boat and went in uncharted area to find a stone that gave us the emplacement ! Happy we were.

Once at the boss spot we create our portal. get some fire resist potions...

fight for 45minutes but got obliterated most of the time.. it shall wait another day.

[silk token]

ah nvm its all on the wiki of course. they have a well of 50 and regenerate sap about 7 times slower than the extractor takes it, so you could slap down 5 and move to the next root like a locust or spread em out and technically get more sap faster cuz all the roots are regenerating

[storm sinew]

Went to my chicken farm to check the little ones and i looted like 4 feathers and im like "oh no"

[waxen forge]

so its now your arrow farm?

[worn steeple]

2 collectors on each root gives a consistent harvest. I always find a spot with atleast 4 roots in same area, if the demand for sap is high.

[waxen forge]

is sap used for anything else besides the extractor?

[steel mica]

they have around 50 from my observation

so I just slap down 5 and move on to the next root

Actually I have 15 total sap extractors

[storm sinew]

Hope not

[storm sinew]

Sap is also material for creating eitr foods for magic

[waxen forge]

ah

[worn steeple]

I do, cause I have a mod that lets me plant Yggdrasil shoots. The "seed" for that is Sap

[waxen forge]

:0

[wanton hearth]

is there a list of which parts are waterproof?

[steel mica]

wdym?

[wanton hearth]

some parts are some not, i want a list of waterproof parts (not damaged by rain)

[steel mica]

so buildables yes

anything wood that is not either under a roof or made out of tar = not waterproof

[silk token]

maybe a temporary constant harvest because of the 50 sap well, wiki says an extractor takes a sap every 60 seconds and replenishes 1 sap every 400 seconds

[wanton hearth]

that's not true

angled beams are waterproof

some other parts are too

[idle storm]

wooden stakewalls too

[foggy glacier]

I like to use one extractor per root and create a portal chain. Once you get enough extractors, they'll replenish before you need to go out again.

[steel mica]

its considered a roof piece

[idle storm]

though the fact that the angled beams are waterproof while all the others aren't just makes rain damage look uglier imo

[foggy glacier]

at least in a single player game. resources on a server is a completely different story.

[wanton hearth]

who cares it is considered a roof piece or not

semantics

[idle storm]

it's literally the reason why angled beams are waterproof though? They're considered roofs so they're waterproof.

[lethal thicket]

the first mod I used was no rain damage

[steel mica]

you're playing a video game

[wanton hearth]

so i've made a fence, and it needs a gate, so i use shutters, but it needs a frikin roof, great...

[shy marlin]

me personally i don't feel like rain damage adds any meaning to the game / purpose 🤔

[wanton hearth]

it's annoying the way it works

any structures should be waterproof besides some machinery/tools/crafting

ladders: damaged by rain: yes, whan an actual...

i mean... yes, it goes bad, IRL, like in 10 years

[lethal thicket]

run the no rain damage mod, you could have installed it in the time It took to make your post here.

[tacit crystal]

You can also use 26 ankled poles as "decorated fence" which don't take rain damage and protects pieces under it too (iirc).

[storm sinew]

After 4-5 fallen valks, i got her trophy 🧙‍♂️

[shy marlin]

I've gotten a fallen valk trophy exactly once

[idle storm]

...
i have 2 and a half stacks of celestial feathers.
two and a half stacks and not. a. single. trophy.
😢
(honestly i'm mostly looking to see how many it'll take at this point)

[shy marlin]

the ashlands mage trinket requires the valk trophy right

[idle storm]

well yeah but i have blood magic 94 and elemental somewhere in the 70's so it's not exactly critical equipment

also mostly run the bronze pendant anyway

[shy marlin]

fo sho, the eitr boost is nice tho

[storm sinew]

The root damage from the staff of the wild packs a punch

[light moat]

Dang, I have like 10 valk trophies lol 🍀

[idle storm]

i couldn't tell you 😂
i mean i have one on another character but i'm in too deep to take the easy way out now

[storm sinew]

There is like 3 roots damaging the fallen valk and she falls so quick

[idle storm]

also still have 7 forts left to clear so there's still plenty of opportunities

yeah staff of the wild is kind of bullshit

[shy marlin]

funny how it was pretty garbo at the very beginning

then they buffed it 😂

[idle storm]

it wasn't great but it was still pretty decent for crowd control. Just not the complete annihilation machine it is now.

[strange otter]

when do we get decent size boxes?

[idle storm]

like chests?

[lone rampart]

Iron

[idle storm]

you can get barrels in BF which have 2 more slots and take much less space

otherwise swamp and then plains

[storm sinew]

I love when the root takes form when it hit a mob like the fallen valkyrie

[strange otter]

iron what nails and hardwood?

[idle storm]

iron & finewood iirc

2 iron 6 wood?

[storm sinew]

2 Iron and 10 finewood 🙂

[tacit crystal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202177337328934973/1477241985134891141/image0.gif?ex=69a800cf&is=69a6af4f&hm=04a2157fd613f0ab6e6618160dc295142ccb647ddc8f5144d320c1b151a133d7&

[strange otter]

not on this server takes nails and iron with hardwood

[storm sinew]

Since using like 3 eitr foods is like the best, maybe crafting lightfood meads might make up with the short of stamina

[tacit crystal]

Mistlands feast is nice for 3rd food.

[idle storm]

you don't exactly need much stam as a mage, just good management habits

better regen is worth more imo

[tacit crystal]

Stamina is quite important for proper movement.

[paper marsh]

Ratatosk too, if you're struggling

[shy marlin]

Stam is also cool for bow shenanigans while on mage

Just depends on playstyle

[storm sinew]

Ever since i got to craft ratatosk and lightfood mead, i never stop making those meads

[idle storm]

lol same

but i'm drowning in scale hide anyway so it's not exactly a problem

[paper marsh]

I haven't tried lightfoot too much, but I was a bit disappointed with Ratatosk

[idle storm]

lightfoot is great because of the lower jump cost

[tacit crystal]

Higher jump too.

[idle storm]

the extra run speed on ratatosk is nice but nowhere near as noticable imo

[paper marsh]

I feel ratatosk is just a bit too good, invalidates a lot of other choices for me

[tacit crystal]

If my viking will get liver cirrhosis from drinking too much Ratatosk tonic then so be it.

[storm sinew]

Who in here loves jumping when about to cast fireball?

[idle storm]

🙋‍♂️ makes it much easier to aim

[storm sinew]

The jumping fireball style 😂

[tacit crystal]

Jump casting is valid for not losing movement. Especially when using protection staff.

[paper marsh]

Makes it much easier to move

I think I'll have to try a mage build without staff of protection / wilds, I'm curious how it'll feel

[nocturne wolf]

it works well with any attack and some other animations like consuming a mead, equipping an item or using forsaken power

[shy marlin]

just gotta be careful with timing of jump + attack or else it'll consume the resource but you don't get an attack off

hope they fix that bug sometime

[nocturne wolf]

and with non attack animations you have to let go of movement input mid-air or you still slow down

[nocturne wolf]

Some attack animations are fast enough to land the hit before the animation is canceled so you can hit faster with this

[storm sinew]

I ate like a straight greatsword attack from a 1 star charred warrior with no shield, it almost killed me with 10 hp remaining

[paper marsh]

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for
