valheim-chat

[copper wharf]

hey folks, haven't played Valheim in a good while. can I now play with my friends from the other side of the globe without the added latency problem in a dedicated server or nah?

[lone rampart]

There may still be some latency issues but that depends more on your server than anything

[copper wharf]

last I remember, everything is still handled client-side. did that change?

[idle storm]

troll set: yes, the mats are useless for anything else anyway
buckler: not strictly necessary but pretty cheap so why not
axe: don't bother unless you plan to skip the iron one

[copper wharf]

even a beefy server doesn't fix lag. did that change now?

[lone rampart]

It’s better, but you may still experience a little lag

Depends on which of you “owns” the chunk (first person to arrive in the area) and how good their connection is

[copper wharf]

i see, so nothing has basically changed network wise. thanks for answering

[tacit crystal]

Depends also of your connection: wifi is not as stable for Valheim as wired connection.

[copper wharf]

ofc, wired as it should be. why would you game on wifi at all.

[tired path]

Yeah, I grabbed a mod and upped the fire damage to 30 (from 10). Makes a bit more sense for it to have more fire damage. I feel like the slash damage is fine, it's slightly higher than the Slayer so that's good

[tacit crystal]

Unawareness, mostly. Since I started using wired connection few years back I've noticed the improvement in network performance for multiplayer.

[mighty flame]

when is 1.0 coming

[lone rampart]

When it’s ready

[tacit crystal]

Curious, what's with the mead reaction, is it like "take some while waiting" or else?

[lone rampart]

It’s the “1.0 when?” drinking game. I’m already on my 4th liver.

[tacit crystal]

Oof, do you have good source for organ donators?

[robust mantle]

any tips on reducing lag on a server for the ashlands specifically? we are with 3 people and everytime we are together in the ashlands the lag becomes unbearable (any other biome is perfectly fine)

[gray sand]

Ashlands is known to do this. Most likely will be addressed in the 1.0 update.

[lone rampart]

Not voluntary ones 😏

[gray sand]

Feel free to take all livers from modders 😏

[lone rampart]

I’m sure there’s a mod for that

[robust mantle]

okidoki 👍

[steel mica]

I counter by bringing many 2star asksvin eggs and letting them grow up in the cave

[noble warren]

Primal axes ftw there

[steel mica]

Im starting to like the jade more over the lolite

Lolite is nice for damage

But damn that immobility

[noble warren]

Yeah, they have their uses

[steel mica]

Even bigger damage

Single target sadly but still

[noble warren]

Yeah, was about to say

[tacit crystal]

It's iolite, not lolite.

[noble warren]

It's good, but a little more situational

[steel mica]

I've been lied to my entire life

😭

[noble warren]

Ngl, I want a better lightning magic weapon on the topic of iolite

[tacit crystal]

It's not anime inspired gem.

[steel mica]

I've been pronouncing it as lo-lite ever since my first time getting one

I did not notice

[steel mica]

We have 2 sides, iolite buff vs bloodstone buff

[tacit crystal]

Item names have capital first letter.

[steel mica]

Jade is just chillin

[noble warren]

Well not necessarily a buff, just a more practical lightning magic weapon, the shotgun is okay, but as a mage you're usually running and moving a lot which interrupts the reload

[steel mica]

Allow running while reloading but reduce reload speed

Maybe by 60%

[noble warren]

Could see it

Like I get the balancing reason, it's just for a mage that kinda sucks having to slowdown like that just to 'reload' your magic

[steel mica]

The reload system is bad on magic, the only magic weapon currently with a reload system is dundr

[noble warren]

Lol

[steel mica]

It consumes eitr but one shift or any other movement back to 0 and a huge chunk of eitr gone

[noble warren]

Yeah it's a little awkward, it's not like we're dropping bolts messing up a ripper reload

[cosmic summit]

anyone have tips for getting lox to breed? i currently have 5. should i let them free roam?

[fossil delta]

I just put them in pairs in their own pens.

[haughty geode]

Is it just by chance that my howling cavern had like 5 veigsevirs?

[earnest field]

was it smart to brute force 3 stacks of silver down a moutain and to my boat through a forest? No, but I was too lazy to walk 3 times

[tacit crystal]

Tip for silver: put them on cart and push cart off from cliff.

[earnest field]

Smart, will do next time

[tacit crystal]

Smart and fun!

And even if it broke the mats are recovable and contents inside cart are stored in small boxes that drop when cart breaks.

[oblique zinc]

I like rolling dragon eggs off the mountain especially at night. Makes quite the show

[cosmic summit]

Can lox be tamed with barly and flax?

[oblique zinc]

Just barley, flax is for chickens i believe

[cosmic summit]

Chickens don't need taming

[nocturne wolf]

cloudberry, flax and barley all work

[oblique zinc]

Feeding

[merry pebble]

But they need food for them to produce eggs 🙂

[cosmic summit]

Yea 🙂 but I was asking about taming specifically. If barly and flax work im going to plant it all over and run around picking it when new lox soawn

I feeed my chickens carrot seeds

[oblique zinc]

Sure wish we could feed merchant loxes for extra buff. Looks like they are eating carrots or something like that

[nocturne wolf]

just discovered that asksvin hatchlings also eat these three items

[cosmic summit]

Good to know. I've been feeding mine exclusively ashlands veggies

[nocturne wolf]

feeding doesn't do anything but the item disappears, like when a bear eats blueberries

[oblique zinc]

Didn't realize hatchings need to eat to grow up

[nocturne wolf]

it's probably unintended, the lox ai was used as a base for the hatchlings

[oblique zinc]

Wish there was a condition where they never grew up. So cute. I had a mod palstone where I could capture them in hatchling form and hold them inside the stone forever

[nocturne wolf]

if you want tiny asksvins forever keep necks instead

[oblique zinc]

Except those try to constantly kill me

I'd rather keep my necks in a soup

[paper marsh]

To keep them warm and cozy and shielded from the environment?

[oblique zinc]

I have a jugged neck recipe .. didn't realize it was also a real life condition

[potent island]

anyone here can tech me some stuff im new to valheim

[lone rampart]

Welcome to your new obsession!

[potent island]

just landed and i got killed by a pig😭

[noble warren]

Welcome to valheim

[frozen fable]

Wait til a tree falls on you

[potent island]

probably i was chasing some pigs and my body was under some logs

[noble warren]

Tip: don't die, dying resets a small portion of learned skills 👍

[tacit crystal]

Skills don't matter too much in the end honestly.

[noble warren]

They do and don't in a weird way, like having high bow is super useful for laying down a machine gun of arrows. But you don't need high skills to enjoy the game

[wanton hearth]

is every throne room out of stone looks bad in this game? Is it just me or wooden ones look way better?

[noble warren]

A mix of both is usually my go to

[oblique zinc]

Bone throne

[noble warren]

bad to the bone

[wanton hearth]

i just watched Terminator's bar scene...

bad ass

some stone castles in this game have detailed stone walls, is it a mod? Or something you unlock very late game?

[oblique zinc]

Different type of stone perhaps

[wanton hearth]

there are two types of stone?

[oblique zinc]

Marble

[noble warren]

There's 3

[wanton hearth]

sheet, i wanted to build my castle so bad, but the regular stone looks like crap

[noble warren]

Stone, black marble, and grausten

Each one has its uses

For building too

[wanton hearth]

why the heck did I farm 20 chests of regular stone LOL

[oblique zinc]

To raise ground

[worn kiln]

Can I join a server?

[noble warren]

To be fair regular stone just looks more rough around the edges and can be nice for rougher looking builds

[noble warren]

#1024264966712340510

[oblique zinc]

Also depending on what 20 chests ? Black metal ? Maybe too much

[noble warren]

20 chests of iron, perfect, maybe one more to be safe

[wanton hearth]

#screenshots message
Man, i really want a castle now, but nowhere near of unlocking new building materials 🙁

[noble warren]

Still working through the plains?

[wanton hearth]

ya, on the plains now

farmed around 300 black metal by killing goblins

[noble warren]

Well right after the plains you'll get black marble from the mistlands

[wanton hearth]

do the plains even have a boss? i didn't find any directions to it

[noble warren]

It does, you need to be lucky to find a vestige or be lucky and find the massive boss area by just looking around plains

[tacit crystal]

All biomes except ocean and Deep North (currently) have boss.

[noble warren]

Ocean boss is the time it takes to sail

[lone rampart]

Ocean boss is the damn wind

[noble warren]

Yes

[wanton hearth]

So far i didn't use any boats, not sure why, i was just curios how far can i go from starting location without boats, almost at the south pole, and don't see a shore 😄 I guess i can reach it

[noble warren]

Must have a massive starting island

[wanton hearth]

oh ya, pangea, some tiny islands in between allowed to jump all the way to the mistlands

[plain thorn]

Valheim

[abstract warren]

Damn refinery sparks lol

Keep damaging my house

[tacit crystal]

There are few ways to prevent that: black marble, iron and copper building pieces are immune to the sparks and also terrain wall.

[dark coyote]

have you tried any mods? #mods-screenshots message

[wanton hearth]

yes, this looks way better, so far i play vanilla, adding a mod is a commitment, i'll think about it, thanks for the info

[cinder dirge]

whats the benefits of taming wolves ?

[fossil delta]

You just sign into those once they are set up. So basically just enter a PW.

[fossil delta]

They can actually follow you and fight with you, plus if you get starred wolves they provide you with plenty of wolf meat while you need it. Personally I rely on being hunted for getting all the meat I need.

[cinder dirge]

yeah i only been hunted once and loads of wolf meat came with that lmao

[fossil delta]

Yep. I usually get 30 to 40 when I get hunted. Plus I love it when I can use them to attack villages or growths.

[cinder dirge]

me and my buddy is ready for plans max iron everything so just hcecking if wolfs in a extra but not really

[fossil delta]

You ideally have silver gear for the plains.

[cinder dirge]

im keeping the wolf gear dunno if thats the best choice for plains but were living for now

[fossil delta]

You can do the plains with iron, just saying its meant for us to have silver gear.

Heck, I do the plains in bronze. Not heavily, but I do wipe out villages until I can plant barley.

[cinder dirge]

eyescream wold skewer and wolf jerky were going for

serpent stew is good just takes so long to find

[fossil delta]

I do two HP foods and one stamina. So Typically going into the plains I start with skewers, sausage and onion soup.

[haughty geode]

Sausages are probably better then wolf jerky

[cinder dirge]

we like it pretty balanced we use the bows alot so we like to have bit more stam

[fossil delta]

Makes sense. If you rely on block/parry you do want more HP.

[cosmic summit]

What's the recommended food combo for a solo mage in ashlands?

[tacit crystal]

EEF is solid, which are seeker aspic, stuffed mushroom and Mistlands feast for me at the start, then switching stuffed mushroom to marinated greens when getting mats for it and cauldron upgrade.

[shy marlin]

I can 2nd EEF, EEE is also good

[cosmic summit]

eitr eitr feast?

[tacit crystal]

Or EES.

[shy marlin]

idk ees has kinda fallen out imo

[tacit crystal]

Mistlands feast grants 65 hp and stamina plus 33 eitr.

If I go mage I still like using seeker aspic for its cheapness, good stats (85 eitr) and 30 min duration, while marinated greens is the best eitr food with 95 eitr and also 30 min duration.

[shy marlin]

Hit day 500, still have yet to kill bonemass 🤙

building hours

[storm sinew]

EEE is very nice on mage, i mead ratatosk and lightfoot to compensate with the stamina and jumping

[cosmic summit]

I wish I could turn the day counter off

[storm sinew]

I'm guessing in 1.0 release we can max our ashlands gear and ready for the adventures in the north

[lone rampart]

Unknown, but a reasonable guess

[shy marlin]

🤔 possibly, they've teased a mage upgrade, so we may only be able to max ash gear while in the deep north.

[storm sinew]

Hope so
Anw, jade doesnt want to leave me alone, ive done like 3 charred fortress so far and i got like 3 Iolite, 3-5 bloodstones and 10+ jades

[fossil delta]

Much better than we have done. Done 2 fortress' and only 1 of each stone. RNG is so fickle.

[storm sinew]

So the "mysterious locations stones" are in putrid holes, and faders stone locations are in charred fortresses?

[shy marlin]

yea, fader veg is technically in some of the ash ruins, but the best way to find fader veg is by doing fortresses

i've done ashlands progression countless times and it's very uncommon to not come across a fader location by exploration or by the time ur done with fortresses in my experience

[chrome badge]

My first time ever going to Ashlands, I came to shore directly at Fader's altar

I had no clue what it was until I found a Vegvisir that moved my map back to where I came ashore.

[storm sinew]

What the? The two flaming trolls i summoned like days ago to provide as a distraction while im running home are still alive

Whoa, i just come a cross a mysterious location that holds one of the fragments while im finding more ph for those vegisvirs

[cinder dirge]

is slash actually good in this game i swear its white dmg to everything

[chrome badge]

Neutral to everything is good for consistency, but yes some things are weak to slash.

[reef cave]

guys

i was playing a mp game with a friend. we both died then his game crashed. we got back to where i died and my tombstone is gone with all of my loot

is it all gone

[granite grail]

I thought this happened to me once but I was at a different death location. Double check to make sure you are actually at the correct spot

[regal cave]

Sometimes u dc and u get double loot. Sometimes u lose it

[reef cave]

it was my only death in the plains

[cosmic summit]

While making a grewdwarf farm do I leave a bit of land under the spawner or dig it completely out?

[fossil delta]

I dug it completely out. Not aware of any reason not to.

[light moat]

That was pretty much what happened to me- saw his big colosseum and thought it was some exploitable POI dungeon or something

[regal cave]

i dont dig at all i just build around it

and put some hanging braziers or puffer

[light moat]

Getting the itch to play Valheim again 🤔

[fossil delta]

Longest I went without playing again was a little over a year, but I had a lot of bad stuff to deal with during that year.

[chrome badge]

It's really intimidating for that structure to be the first you see 👀

[light moat]

Feel that. It’s always the building that draws me in- I see something cool and it just makes me want to build
The building in this game is just on a whole different level.

[light moat]

100% agree

[fossil delta]

I'll get back into building once 1.0 comes out. I got burned out gathering all the mats I needed for some of the huge builds I did. So when I will allow myself to use dev commands, I'll start building for fun again.

[granite grail]

I also have a double loot corpse in the mountains 😂 it's funny watching the stuff in it become irrelevant as we progress

[solemn crown]

Finaly got my hands on the Early Axes, while trying to find the Swamps.

[marble sable]

Luring bears and trolls into the swamp early game is so fun

[solemn crown]

So far, I can't find any. Found plenty of mountains, though.

[cinder dirge]

we jsut unlocked black metal weapons why is the iron mace stronger then the black one lol

[dim trellis]

theres a black metal mace?

[cinder dirge]

anything special about the porcipine

[dim trellis]

oh the porcupine

[cinder dirge]

yeah

[light moat]

It deals blunt and pierce damage

[dim trellis]

its nearly doble the damage of iron mace?

[cinder dirge]

both lvl 1 iron does 55 and the other 50

[dim trellis]

it does all the blunt iron does almost + it does pierce another 45 or so

so 95

[light moat]

50 blunt + 45 pierce

[cinder dirge]

i didnt know it did pierce aswell

[dim trellis]

bit of a weird combo of damage dont think its very popular

[shy scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/valheim-troll-dance-gif-10621760382477937142

[cinder dirge]

oh right was gonna say blunut and piece is the best ones right ?

wolf armour over padded armour ?

ps i hate the swamp

[dim trellis]

padded armor has higher armor, you can keep a cape with the cold protection

[cinder dirge]

okay yh the armour gives alot same as max lvl wolf armour

[dim trellis]

wolf or those uh lox or whatever theyre called

[solemn crown]

Stumbled into the Meadows. Still haven't vound the Swamps.

[dim trellis]

are you walking looking for swamp

[solemn crown]

It's the next biom I should go to. Just got my Swamp Key.

[dim trellis]

build a Karve boat and sail the coastlines you will be far enough from spawn to find swamp quickly just by seeing it / edge revealed on map as you go along coast

also swamps have lot of water so, easier to sail by than walk

[solemn crown]

Yea, I was thinking something similar. Appreciate the advice.

[reef cave]

what weapons are best for plains

[light moat]

What weapon skills are your highest?

[reef cave]

whatever the mace is

club i think

i have frostner and a huntsman bow. im open to new stuff. just havent never been to plains

[light moat]

Clubs- Frostner is a pretty great choice. Once you’ve progressed into the plains a bit, you can consider using the Porcupine.

[reef cave]

thx

[light moat]

Personally I really like the huntsman’s bow, but draugr fang is great bow as well.

[dim trellis]

also a huntsman fan

[regal cave]

I love the huntsman bc when I started playing, fuling camps were "how da heck r u supposed to do this" now i just stand in one spot and take out the whole camp XD

[cinder dirge]

is huntsman better then draugr?

[dim trellis]

heheheheh

[reef cave]

it uses less stamina

[cinder dirge]

i really like the draugr

[dim trellis]

draugr is not a clear Only Upgrade it has some downsides

[reef cave]

and a lot quieter

[cinder dirge]

less dps tho ?

[dim trellis]

if you have no stamina left your dps is 0

[reef cave]

if youre just shooting a few arrow yeah. but if its for something with a lot of health no. it uses more stamina so you wont be able to shoot as much

[dim trellis]

does the poison damage happen all at once from dragr and for arrows? two questions i guess

[shy marlin]

kinda depends

[cinder dirge]

the poison dmg ticks ive never used poison arrow with the dragr before

[dim trellis]

ticking damage is a downside in some situations

[shy marlin]

Like, huntsman is better against a group of growths, where you can sneak attack all of the growths with fire arrows, while draugr will aggro a good portion and you'll get less sneak attacks in therefore lowering the burst dmg substantially

[dim trellis]

oh its like that huh? interesting

[shy marlin]

yea, huntsman has a aggro radius of 4m on it's projectile, and draugr is 8m

[dim trellis]

i shot so many arrows my huntsman broke so i carry a backup finewood bow lol

[reef cave]

whats good against growths in plains?

[dim trellis]

like scales said fire arrow from far far away

[reef cave]

ok

[dim trellis]

btw can i close out those stupid tar pits somehow?

[cinder dirge]

did a trench next to them

they give so much tar underneath them all

[fossil delta]

Poison resistance, shields and blunt. IF you block it you won't be slowed. I usually use swords/slashing, but still do fine.

[dim trellis]

oh so the tar goes into a hole?

[cinder dirge]

the liquid yeah but they never respawned for me

[reef cave]

how does tar work? it says its stuck in the pit. can we get a lot of it to build with

[cinder dirge]

well what ive seen so far

[dim trellis]

i just want the growths to stop spawning if possible

[fossil delta]

Put a bench or camp fire on it after you kill them.

[dim trellis]

peanut was just saying dig a hole nearby so the tar goes there and then you can loot it

[cinder dirge]

dig another pit next to it and break the wall so it flows into the empty hole

[reef cave]

does tar spawn passively from the pits?

[fossil delta]

Just the growths, which drop tar.

[reef cave]

ok

[cinder dirge]

not sure im new with the pits aswell but theres load of tar under the liquid

[fossil delta]

Usually around 80. So worth digging out if you want tar for building.

Then if you want more tar from a specific pit for some reason, just don't spawn block it and at least 1 growth will spawn every few days. I forget the specific time frame.

[reef cave]

wow thats a lot

[fossil delta]

I've had pits in the 60's. I think it depends on how many holes make up a specific pit.

[regal cave]

Its really funny if you ever play on 1.5x resources. Being a mead of troll endurance XD

[marble sable]

I had corpse run and auto-picked up a bunch of stuff and when the corpse run ran out I was frozen and got killed 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

hate this game sometimes do the devs not realize how annoying this is

[fossil delta]

Turn auto pick up off during corps runs?

I say it because thats what
I've been doing for years to avoid that very situation.

[marble sable]

I don't want to click on and off a setting every time I need to do that

[light moat]

It’s just the V button 🤔

[dim trellis]

"every time" ? how often do you die that pressing v is a burden

[regal cave]

Pro tip: dont die?

[kindred shadow]

I tired this Pro tip and it did not work for me. lol

[regal cave]

Leveling your skills and being prepared. Totally doable 💪. The most dangerous enemies in the game are trees and gravity

[dim trellis]

what about piranha water or lava

[kindred shadow]

I have been playing on a very hard setting server not dying is not an option.

[regal cave]

Yeah lava will pwn u XD

[dim trellis]

i guess technically is that still gravity? since if you could float or fly then no lava problems

[regal cave]

Or a lack of amiability considering there are friends that could help you walk across

[noble warren]

Most dangerous thing is not having the rested buff

[faint condor]

all this fishing bait and i still haven’t used it

[noble warren]

Better get to it

[fossil delta]

Yeah, best to start well ahead of time and do a little bit at a time. Fishing is too boring to do a lot of at one stretch.

[dim trellis]

fish food seems to be outlcassed or at least a close option, for any fish related recipe

[noble warren]

So, more fish recipes needed then?

[dim trellis]

hmm dont think i personally would make fish recipes be best in class

[fossil delta]

I think the two fish foods are only better by 5 points.

[thorny lake]

might lose my 150 hour playtime first playthrough valheim world😔

[dim trellis]

send 0.10 bitcoin or i delete it

[thorny lake]

my SSD got defect and its not possible to save any data

[dim trellis]

are worlds not cloud saves?

[thorny lake]

idk

[fossil delta]

Depends on your setting.

[thorny lake]

its my first valheim world

and the only ive played on

[dim trellis]

so you can boot the pc still?

[thorny lake]

no its gotten the No Bootable System problem

cant get on unless the SSD is changed

[dim trellis]

when you got online again and installed steam i think your world will come

iirc

[thorny lake]

im praying for it

had just finished my 2nd house ever which took me like 10 hours to make

[dim trellis]

when you will get a new ssd?

[thorny lake]

today

[dim trellis]

ok we praying 🙏

[fossil delta]

IF its a cloud save, yes. I think you have to make it a cloud save, though. Been so long I can't remember, but I think the default save is to your HD.

[dim trellis]

it seems to my memory, i had reinstalled valhiem after new ssd and my old shit was there

i dont ever consider that i need to backup steam stuff, in 2026, dont know if i should

[fossil delta]

Well, hopefully the cloud is the default,.

[thorny lake]

Well ill keep my hopes a little low incase and pray that its cloud saved

[dim trellis]

i just checked and in the current valheim ui you have to manually go to manage saves and press a button Make Local

to make it not be cloud

i.e. default is backed up online

btw 150 hours world dayam you must have explored everything

[fossil delta]

Thats good. I just know a lot of my old saves are on my HD. Plus thumb drives, because I never trust an HD to not crash.

By old I mean my games that are 3 to 5 years old, I've been saving to cloud since then.

[dim trellis]

you could time travel and stuff if you make it local so its neat to have an option

[fossil delta]

I save to cloud because I travel. So want to be able to play it on my laptop when I do.

[dim trellis]

also during gameplay, that world save 0.4s + 3.0s time i think that extra 3.0s or whatever is updating to steam

good game, good features heh

[thorny lake]

not barely at all tbh, i’ve spent a lot of time building and perfecting my village and other outposts as well as farming resources, not too much on the exploring side

[thorny lake]

omg u got my mood up

me and my other 2 mates who’s also spent about 100 hours on there have made such an amazing and cozy village and we’ve just recently beaten Yagluth or wtv its name is

and i would feel so bad if my pc being a problem took everything away

[dim trellis]

that sounds really awesome

[analog barn]

anyone want to join my world I made a pretty decent house so far just need help in the mistlands is all

[strange cradle]

Try here: https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[haughty geode]

man
screw that guy that said that I should be fine walking through the plain in mountain-level armor
got absolutely obliterated by tar growth

[nocturne wolf]

What other armor would you use?

[haughty geode]

I would not have expectation that it's "supposed to happen"

[haughty geode]

also, how would I know?!

[nocturne wolf]

You used the best armor available but that doesn’t mean the biome has to be easy, especially in the later ones

[nocturne wolf]

Against growths do whatever you can to avoid an unlocked hit. Blocking reduces the slowing effect and strafing will avoid it entirely

When they stop attacking they will be safe to kill for a while, their attack has an 8 second cooldown

[strange cradle]

You can use Fenris armor with Root armor chest for pierce protection in Plains. Sneak onto the tar pits and try to take them out with a bow. If this fails, wait for the growth's approach and when it comes in range run sideways from its attack. Like @nocturne wolf has written, they're safe to smash right after their attack has finished.

And yes, it sucks getting hit by them.

Even with Plains armor.

[nocturne wolf]

If you do get hit try your best to move away and roll through their next attack, you don’t want to be slowed any longer

[strange cradle]

They also have a strong poison attack that often gets overlooked. It is VERY dangerous.

The poison is part of their attack is what I mean.

I always try to run in circles around growths so their attacks usually cannot hit me. Movement is a big part of the combat in Valheim. You can't just stand your ground and expect to survive.

[worn steeple]

They also deal more poison damage than blunt damage (50 PD, 45 BD).
It’s always wise to have poison resistance active in the Plains, since it provides stronger protection against poison and will override the “resistant” effect from the Root Mask anyway.
50 poison damage is a lot, it does more than just a tickle.

[jagged tangle]

anyone have any cool visual mod suggestions?

[haughty geode]

yeah I been try to dodge them all around , the problem was that first time I, obviously, didn't expect them to through it like that. (even despite seeing some squitos die over the hill)
so I vent to liek 30hp quickly, popped healing, and next thing I know 4th one is attaacking me.
Did shoot back with a bow, but it was pretty much impossible to do anything except try to bide some time by rolling away.
eventually, they caught up.
looks like fuling don't like those either.
and what is this, they do poison too? dang

also I am a firm believer that ulvs cannot be parried

gladly they are sooo thin they die from 2 hits most

is only spear didn't have a length of toothpick

[earnest field]

Remember when I Walked into a Frozen cave, like 6 ulves attacked me, left me on 11hp but I swung my sword once and they were all gone

That was a rush of emotions

[zinc lava]

THIS IS FOR DEV..

I found a duplication bug. If you save, retrieve all your items from your chests, leave the world, and then reload the save, the item reappears in the chest and remains in your inventory.

[tacit crystal]

It doesn't sound like a bug. What happened is that you loaded backup save of your world but not your character.

Because characters have their own save files apart from world saves.

[red coral]

okay, so. If someone is pulling the catapult, and someone else puts a rock in it....

I assume that's a glitch, right? I'm not imagining things?

[chrome badge]

What is?

[red coral]

the insane rain of arrows that appears out of nowhere

[chrome badge]

I'm a bit confused, so someone put a rock in a catapult and it was pulled, then arrows rained from above or?

[red coral]

yup

I got a clip but it's too big to share

[chrome badge]

Did this occur in the Ashlands?

The marksman charred can rain arrows

[red coral]

@lilac lily

[red coral]

no, FROM the catapult

I'll try and cut the clip down

it's hard to explain

[chrome badge]

Please do, I'm really curious

[jagged tangle]

😢

[red coral]

grrr it's 19mb

also where would I share it

[chrome badge]

#memes-and-clips is the most appropriate, but also #steam-bugs-discussion could work if they allow media to be posted.

[red coral]

#memes-and-clips message

that worked

[chrome badge]

Oh my god... is this without any mods?

[red coral]

no mods

[indigo imp]

I am sure yall get this often but how excited are you for 1.0

[chrome badge]

That is definitely a major bug, I would also submit that to a bugs-discussion channel, and potentially #valheim-public-test as well.

Try and write the steps to replicate the bug out precisely.

That's a good find! ✊

[red coral]

thanks. it's funny as hell

[chrome badge]

Yeah and a bit scary 😱

[red coral]

gonna chuck it on the subreddit too

[chrome badge]

Good idea

[jagged crag]

is poison resistance mead a necessity for swamp?

[regal cave]

If youre just arriving at the swamp, absolutely

[jagged crag]

going there soon from black forest i guess

[shy marlin]

just don't get hit ez

[regal cave]

Even if youre experienced, with the food and armor you have you would definitely want to bring the potions with you

[terse raft]

Gotta get those 3000 coins eggs

[tacit crystal]

There is one location for free eggs. Requires some combat tho.

[terse raft]

interesting

[tacit crystal]

If you have found Hildir and got markers from her map one of those location types have eggs.

[terse raft]

im pretty sure i do have hildir but not sure how it works

i never did any of her quest

[solemn crown]

Have found both mountains and plains, but no swamps. Gonna have to go sailing this weekend.

[frozen fable]

It's so satisfying when you get a lot of iron mined so it is worth it

[terse raft]

Mining is awesome

we did so many Iron run, need many

[solemn crown]

I'm still digging a trench shop I can bring my boat to the copper mines. It's slow, but it can carry four full stacks of ore, which would be amazing to bring home.

[storm sinew]

Having pleanty of metals is always good

[oblique zinc]

You could always just run to the boat back and forth. Get your run and jump up

Small boat is not worth the hassle of digging trench even though it is pretty nimble.

[oblique zinc]

Look at the map table in front of her and you'll get 9 locations

[abstract warren]

Why tf did I throw away my skeleton trophies omg

[terse raft]

they good ?

[abstract warren]

They're needed for a certain staff later on

[terse raft]

oh..

magic stuff surely, think we got 2 stacks of 20 skull

trophies are just annoying to keep, they always mixed in many crates..

[storm sinew]

Well time to get organize on the storages 🙂

[solemn crown]

Oh, I'm gonna have to do that anyway. But without the trench, the closest approach is halfway top my goal anyhow. I just have to dig a little and connect two lakes.

[abstract warren]

I just put them all in one reinforced chest

But yeah it's too full now. Gonna make a black metal chest for it instead

Man do the anglers just not respawn or what

[regal cave]

Benches/ portals affect fish spawns too?

[faint condor]

the fulling place?

[terse raft]

Sadly yes, but its my friend hosting the game

We either hunt, farm or hunt more. I sadly not having enough time to do the other stuff

If i could log in and do my thing it would be more organized. its not that bad tho

But i like it, that way i play when he plays and thats it

[abstract warren]

Shit I guess so...

[regal cave]

Yeah I guess so too but im not sure, I had some feeling there was a different spawn mechanic for them but I have no idea

Thoughts???

[keen trench]

Just one: when it's ready and shiny

[edgy hound]

Hello I'm new to this server

I used to play this game before but I want to start all over again . I know I can't do it alone it's time taking and challenging. I'm looking for a team

[tacit crystal]

Check if https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 has open invites, or you can make your own post to invite others. 👍

[marble delta]

so the PS5 port is supposed to drop with Deep North?

[gray sand]

That is not confirmed.

We know we are getting 1.0
We know we are getting PS5
We know we are getting Switch

People connect these things by themselves even though the devs have never even hinted they are connected 🤷‍♂️

[marble delta]

Valheim on Switch would give me arthritis

[fossil delta]

IG isn't even the one doing the ports, they farmed all of that out to another company. So even more unlikely anything will occur at the same time. Not impossible, just more unlikely.

[indigo imp]

lets be honest most people just want the 1.0

[gray sand]

?

[indigo imp]

i was still in highschool when the early access came out

now i am taking my masters degree

[gray sand]

That is the nature of early access, yes.

[indigo imp]

what i meant was our main concern is 1.0, the ps5 release and switch are irrelevant

[gray sand]

I would say for people who don't own PC's, they are very relevant. 🤔

[indigo imp]

i doubt they have been waiting as much 😭 since there is no early access

early access made us pc users yearn for more

whilst there its more like a new game thats releasing

like i for one check on valheim every other week

[gray sand]

So I own a PC and play the game, but I would not be classified as a PC user by your definition of yearning. :\

[indigo imp]

maybe you are a bit new then ? i was playing since the beta

[gray sand]

Not new at all.
I just don't yearn.
I appreciate what they have done.
The rest will come when it comes.

[indigo imp]

idk man, with the current games in the industry, valheim is truly special for me and i want its release to be as good as possible so that it draws more recognition for the team

the reason for yearning is because its as if youve had a sip of the holy grail of survival games

and want more

[gray sand]

Wanting more is the path to the dark side.

[mint hound]

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-darkside-star-wars-evil-innerme-gif-12686883553708718330

[gray sand]

Rekt by image perms.

[mint hound]

lol yup

It was funny though

[gray sand]

Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.

[indigo imp]

the dark side is always more fun

[gray sand]

Lies.

[mint hound]

The dark side is the path to righteousness

[indigo imp]

also theres such a plethora of early access games right now its annoying

enshrouded and windblown

are so good if youre ever looking for achange

[fossil delta]

at least they are looking very promising.

[indigo imp]

that is true

ill take early access that improves over unreal engine 5 slop

[gray sand]

It is the path of the future because corpos aren't going to sponsor original ideas. Too much risk for their fat wallets.

So people with good ideas have to go ea route to get funding.

[mint hound]

I’ve been playing ASKA… fun colony Viking sim

Windrose is going to be good too

[indigo imp]

have you tried soulmask ?

[gray sand]

Also there is nothing wrong with UE5 at all...

[mint hound]

I just saw soul mask release.. was going to look at that too

[gray sand]

Insult an entire engine due to the actions of devs is wild.

[fossil delta]

I do play Enshrouded. Has a lot of the same feel as Valheim. Its not identical by any means, just a lot of it makes me think of my Valheim game play.

[indigo imp]

i know, its just some devs put so much front end and forget about optimising

[gray sand]

If you know, why insult entire engine?

[indigo imp]

i didnt i said an unreal engine 5 slop 😭

there are unreal engine 5 masterpieces

[gray sand]

That's like saying "hammers suck" because you had a bad contractor at your house.

[indigo imp]

misinterpretation

[fossil delta]

I don't even pay attention to which engine they are using. Junk is junk.

[indigo imp]

enshrouded does have the same feel but it does feel more childish

i still love it tho

its early access is ending soon as well

hopefully both of them this spring

[fossil delta]

I don't know about childish, but there are some things they have done that I hope they change. I do love building in Enshrouded, especially with how great you can make your gardens.

[indigo imp]

Yes it is quite intuitive, it felt like a mix of v rising and valheim building

[fossil delta]

I've never played V Rising. I should get around to it, since I own it.

[wary kettle]

Hi I love Valheim. That is all. Have a good day

[fossil delta]

Man, its really hard to find the motivation to keep going through Ashlands. I wish I liked it, but its just so ugly, and all the fighting just becomes irritating instead of fun. So it gets really hard for me to even want to keep playing.

[chrome badge]

Put on some Led Zepplin and get into the hell vibes

[fossil delta]

I've even started doing unnecessary building just to spend time in other biomes. 😄

[fossil delta]

Doesn't help.

[chrome badge]

That's rough, visually it's definitely top 3 for me

[fossil delta]

Whats the name for the Morgen dungeons? I even like those because once you kill the Morgen its quiet in there.

[chrome badge]

Putrid Hole

[indigo imp]

its so good i recommend finishing the pve on your own then start the pvp aspect

[fossil delta]

I find it ugly, period. Only things that look nice are the ruins.

[chrome badge]

I don't think it's supposed to look nice to be fair

[tacit crystal]

My friend is the opposite: she loves good mayhem and open fights. And she liked how the ruins looked.

[indigo imp]

i hated the mistlands

it made me channel my inner mountain climbing goat

[tacit crystal]

She also loves raiding fuling villages, so that explains too.

[fossil delta]

I hate the mist in the Mistlands. I love the biome. Its gorgeous. When you can see it.

[indigo imp]

i agree its very pretty specially the wood i wouldnt mind building a house there, but exploring is not it

also the enemies are fun to manage

[idle storm]

finding the naturally mist-free parts is the best part of exploring mistlands

[silk token]

i would like your friend lol

[indigo imp]

IF you find them

[idle storm]

they're not rare

[fossil delta]

Taking out villages is still my favorite thing to do. Just at least with them, I get to chose when I get into big fights. In Ashlands I can get into a big fight any time, with how things spawn there.

[chrome badge]

I'm setting up my forever world in a mist-free area that's attached to plains so I can farm everything and take on the Mistlands raids regularly.

[indigo imp]

i was so unlucky once that i found 5 dungeons and only 1 mist free area, but atleast i had the wisps

[silk token]

im so excited after mountains because i get to just go viking raiding and do big fights throwing a spear into the face of the camp's shaman and kicking the hornet nest in the nuts

[idle storm]

i've got like half a dozen mist free infested mines in my current world

[indigo imp]

you can make wisp lights thatll kick out the mist it also makes good lighting effect

[chrome badge]

I'm very aware 😛 I cleared an entire mistlands island with them before, I just want a natural clearing so I don't have to integrate them into my base.

[idle storm]

i have my mistlands farm in an area like that. Dvergr dungeon next to 6 roots next to plains and almost entirely mist-free. It's great

[fossil delta]

Its definitely a high light, for sure.

[indigo imp]

My favourite valheim experience was raiding the fuling tower in the plains and that transition into blackmetal and thread along with taming the wolves. Most traumatic one by far was the swamp.

[fossil delta]

Yep. I still wish they would tie the mists to the Queen, and have them go away once we beat her.

[muted abyss]

im headed to the swamp soon

first time

[indigo imp]

my condolences

[muted abyss]

i just need to find it :D

[indigo imp]

unless you have ore travel turned off

[idle storm]

swamp is great

2nd favorite biome

[muted abyss]

its on

[chrome badge]

Ah I don't, I like that the challenge persists beyond progression, also the Mistlands would be harder in theory, as enemies can see very far in mist-less areas, and you might just get swarmed constantly.

[indigo imp]

so you can travel with ores ?

[muted abyss]

nope

[indigo imp]

oh yep condolences

just make sure to have more stamina than health since ull get 2 shotted anyways and will be wet most of the time

[idle storm]

that'S terrible advice

[indigo imp]

it made my second clearthrough very easy tbh

[fossil delta]

Well, I don't get swarmed more often in the areas I put up the wisps. Besides, spawning is directly tied to our being present.

[indigo imp]

with the atgeir

[idle storm]

nothing in the swamp should twoshot you on normal unless it's 2 starred or you're eating meadows tier food

[fossil delta]

Especially if your using your shield well.

[silk token]

hah, that's maybe true on very hard, but on normal if you eat 3 foods and hold right click you're good.

[indigo imp]

tbh i played on very hard so im not sure

[chrome badge]

That's why I said in theory, it's hard to say if everyone would experience that or not.

[indigo imp]

also the poison ticks were just so annoying i had to have stamina always to keep dodging properly

[indigo imp]

farming entrails still the most disgusting rewarding feeling every

[idle storm]

might want to mention that since it changes basically everything

[fossil delta]

Yeah, don't question where that comes from too deeply. 😄 😄

[idle storm]

i mean it's not THAT much more digusting than how real sausage is made...

[fossil delta]

Deer and boar are not the answer for every swamps location.

[indigo imp]

i remember when i first started the game my friend would go to the black forest keep baiting a troll to come and hit our meadows base and he was like "yo theres another troll raid"

[indigo imp]

also making kebab with wolf meat was something 😭

specially wolves i had tamed

[silk token]

weird the blocking spreadsheet is messed up for me, i can't enter a difficulty for some reason

i wanted to check just HOW easily you can block or parry everything in the swamp on normal

[fossil delta]

I was a farmer for 15 years, so the only part that bothered me was the source, like you said. Everything else was due to needing to feed my family and make money. So I accept all of the rest.

[indigo imp]

tbh once you learn the animations and its not your first playthrough parrying was easy even on very hard

but it was still very satisfying

i love that you can even parry arrows

atgeir supremacy >>

[silk token]

imean timing doesnt change per difficulty, you definitely can't parry everything on vh

[indigo imp]

aside from bosses what cant you parry ?

[fossil delta]

2 stars.

[indigo imp]

its parriable

[fossil delta]

Not all of them, at all times.

[compact hamlet]

Guys, what's the best weapon for ashland?

[indigo imp]

depends on how much you level your block skill

[fossil delta]

Whatever you like. DPS wise the Silver sword is great for charred, and I think the Valkyrie.

[indigo imp]

even 3 star movs are parriable

[merry pebble]

Whichever you enjoy using most 🙂

[foggy glacier]

It depends. There's no one 'best'

[indigo imp]

this.

[tacit crystal]

Going in or already having mats for new weapons?

[indigo imp]

i recommend playing with multiple weapons tbh

[compact hamlet]

Is the long sword fine?

[fossil delta]

Like my wife still loves to use Frostner in Ashlands, but I think thats mostly because she never uses shields.

[silk token]

no, doesnt change boss timing either?

[indigo imp]

pierce damage and blunt damage are most important and frostner

[compact hamlet]

Damn

[indigo imp]

it does have good damage and cc

[fossil delta]

Like I said, for DPS the Silver Sword is really good for Charred, and I think the Valkyrie. I also use Mistwalker, and I do well enough.

[indigo imp]

no, i meant, bosses in valheim cant be parried

[silk token]

oh nvm i read what you wrote again i read that wrong.

aside from bosses uhm, most 1 star things?

[foggy glacier]

I like mistwalker because it does good damage against everything in Ashlands.

[merry pebble]

They certainly can, but they cant be staggered by it

[silk token]

1 star and up you can't parry in most situations on vh, or large mobs

[fossil delta]

They can, they just don't stagger.

[indigo imp]

fair enough

[compact hamlet]

Got u, ty

[indigo imp]

level up your block skill

and use atgeir

[silk token]

imean, assuming the spreadhseet isnt broken for anyone else, just put in very hard difficulty and whatever biome's shield, it's most things are a big "yeah right" to parry

[fossil delta]

Is it Sevrahns sheet your having issues with?

[silk token]

ok put in atgier in very hard on the spreadsheet and see for yourself not really a point discussing it when there's a literaly sheet telling you that's not possible to parry ever non-boss enemy on very hard

[indigo imp]

i mean idk man i played the game and didnt use a spreadsheet 😭 all i can tell you for sure is that each biome with its own gear can parry even up to 2 stars on very hard

like iron atgeir in swamp

can parry everything in the swamp

[merry pebble]

There are no three star enemies..

[indigo imp]

wdym ? the purple one

or is it 2 stars

0 1 2

[merry pebble]

What purple one?

[fossil delta]

Well, your also obviously using mods, so no telling how that changes things from the standard game. There are no 3 stars in the un modded game.

[merry pebble]

And yes max is 2 stars

[indigo imp]

yeah i mixed up its 2 stars my last playthrough was when ashlands came out

[indigo imp]

yes ty

[indigo imp]

the elite draugr 2 stars its purple

[indigo imp]

also just to be clear block skill atleast 25

[silk token]

ok, thats just not true like the sky is blue, there's no way you're parrying a 2 star drauger on very hard with an atgier

[fossil delta]

Mines in the 40's. Too freaking tedious to get it much higher.

[gray sand]

Someone fucked the sheet by not following directions 😂

#screenshots

[fossil delta]

That didn't take me directly to your post, I had to scroll down to get to it.

[indigo imp]

Requirements for Success
Upgraded Gear: You should be using at least a Level 3 or 4 Iron Atgeir.
High Health Food: You must eat top-tier food (e.g., Sausages, Turnip Stew, Black Soup or better) to maximize your stagger threshold.
High Blocking Skill: Your blocking skill should be high (ideally 30+) to handle the damage.
Rested Buff: Mandatory for stamina regeneration

unless something was buffed or nerfed recently because the atgeir as i remember had 3x multiplier on block

[fossil delta]

Yeah, that generally applies to every biome.

[indigo imp]

yes

[silk token]

im aware how parrying works. there are literally numbers that say number things that are true.

[fossil delta]

You still can't parry every 2 star on VH settings.

[silk token]

i did, it gives me an error when i try to click on that box

[indigo imp]

i do remember that when parrying i would get damaged but it does stagger the enemy allowing my friend to finish them off

[gray sand]

Fixed it already 🙂

[indigo imp]

so its 100% parriable because its the way we played it 😭

[fossil delta]

So they would need to DL a fresh sheet.

[gray sand]

Only if they are downloading it.

[silk token]

ty

[fossil delta]

True. I DL all the sheets offered, so I forget just using it online is an option. 😄

[gray sand]

And @indigo imp if you're on VH with 25 skill and Iron Atgeir, a 2-star draugr is only parryable with 244 HP, which you don't have at that time.

[silk token]

HOKAY. NOW. NUMBERS. so sad i have to do this myself and look at the spreadhseet myself. on VERY HARD. with an iron atgier and 25 block which is a realistic block to have reached at that point, to parry a 2 star draugr, not even an elite drauger, you need THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE health

[gray sand]

323 regular, 244 with Mantle.

And 244 isn't attainable until Plains iirc.

p.s. someone bricked the P3-4 boxes which is what broke that page.
Idk how the permissions got changed, but that is what I fixed. It's locked back down to where you can affect only the 3 intended boxes.

[silk token]

but let's say you just got into the swamp and you have the finest rank 3 bronze buckler, you need only 284 health! so as long as you can eat 4 serpent foods you're all set!

[gray sand]

196 with Mantle* 😛

Mantle is OP.

[silk token]

alright. numbers. behold them and know truth.

[gray sand]

Like if you're a 2-h sword person on normal, Mantle goes so hard for what it enables you to block.

[silk token]

i loved mantle in ashlands last normal run cuz berserker axes could do 1 star stuff

[indigo imp]

that doesnt stop you from parrying ! you can parry and be staggered it wont kill you

it staggers both you and the enemy

[nocturne wolf]

that happens when the damage after block armor doesn't stagger you but the damage after armor does

if the damage between block armor and armor staggers you the block/parry fails

[gray sand]

Um... no.
But thank you for explaining to me how blocking works.
I had no idea.

Certainly didn't write an entire sheet about it with an in-depth README tab..

[indigo imp]

no im 100% sure that you can both be staggered it will take a chunk from your hp but it will still stagger

[gray sand]

Yes, because there are 2 separate stages to that.

[tacit crystal]

If you fail to parry you won't stagger the target.

[indigo imp]

the parry depends on the timing, and whether you can live or not im pretty sure

[gray sand]

If you fail the parry - no stagger.
If you succeed the parry - stagger.
If you suecced the parry and enough damage gets through the block after the fact (from the same individual attack instance) - both staggered.

[gray sand]

Plz read the README tab on the sheet. Plz.

[indigo imp]

how is this different to what i said ??

[tacit crystal]

I mean if you try parry too big hit the attempt fails.

[gray sand]

Because I am telling you it cannot be parried at that time on that difficulty unless you're using food from 2 biomes later.
Physically impossible unless you're lying about one of the variables.

[indigo imp]

yeah for sure parrying doesnt nullify damage

[gray sand]

So the parry will just fail if you try. Meaning only you are staggered.

[tacit crystal]

If you have not high enough max HP and block armor to even be able to parry the hit you won't stagger the target but get staggered yourself.

[gray sand]

Really just comes down to max HP.
Block armor reduces the amount of max HP you need.

[nocturne wolf]

@tacit crystal can you fix my name?

[tacit crystal]

Cube away?

[nocturne wolf]

yes clear the server name

[tacit crystal]

Watch out for asking DN questions lol.

[foggy glacier]

Does anyone know if the poison damage from a pufferfish is rank based?

[merry pebble]

Afaik shouldnt be

[tacit crystal]

Iirc they all deal same amount of poison damage.

[foggy glacier]

I figured as much. So not much reason to hoard R2 fish for culling tames.

[odd sinew]

If using Puffers for auto-farms, the rank only affects the size/range that things will get hit by it's poison

[foggy glacier]

Thanks.

[fossil delta]

Range, huh? Guess I'll start using the bigger ones for killing Hares.

[odd sinew]

I tend to use the rank 1's for my Greydwarf/Boar/Wolf auto-farms

Mostly to avoid hitting them myself when collecting

[foggy glacier]

Honestly I don't usually do auto-farms; I'd rather turn on pvp and shoot them for the skill increase.

[indigo imp]

show me the spreadsheet, because im 100% sure about what im saying, both you and the 2 star draugr will be staggered if you parry with the atgeir at very hard i even went on a wiki run, the total block damage you can get not even assuming best food slots is 116, the draugr 2 star hits for 192, if your max hp is 150 (which is not the highest possible) you will live not to mention the block armor reducing the damage youll get

[foggy glacier]

There is something immensely satisfying in watching a chicken explode from a bolt.

[odd sinew]

When I solo play I def do that same route RudeMann. When I play with 4+ people that eat resources like they're melting...I tend to go more automated 😄

[gray sand]

It is pinned in this channel if you need it later.

[foggy glacier]

That's a very good point.

[nocturne wolf]

That's always a 0.5m radius @foggy glacier

[foggy glacier]

good to know

[hushed parrot]

Oh my god I just met my first Vile

What the hell

[patent sandal]

Just got the game on sale and figured I join the discord. Looking forward to the game

[tacit crystal]

You're on a treat then.

[hushed parrot]

Welcome! 😄

[patent sandal]

Thanks

[fossil delta]

Don't rush. You only get to play a game for the first time, the first time, and many of us wish we had taken even longer to do our first play through.

Of course, mine was when the plains was the last biome.

[tacit crystal]

Many of us wishing partial amnesia to forget only the Valheim part to experience the game again fresh.

[light moat]

Welcome, I am also a Godzilla fan 🫡

[patent sandal]

Nice. I started the game and have been attacked by goblin dudes

[silk token]

scrawwww! this area is too strong for you! go back!

wait unless, are you on a multiplayer server?

[light moat]

He might be talking about greylings? 🤔

I've started carrying some obsidian arrows cause why not and it was incredibly satisfying to kill a troll in 3 shots.
And instantly after I collected it's gold, a 1 star bear gently came behind me, shoving it's face in my camera and made it's presence known well before it started attacking. I am quite I stumbled upon such a gentleman who wanted a fair fight

[steel mica]

aim for head

[earnest field]

I do, mate

[light moat]

Why commas are important

[earnest field]

lmao

Of course I find burial chambers with 3 vigvisirs way after defeating The Elder, but I cannot find any moder vigvisirs in the frost caves yet.

[fossil delta]

I've never found them in frost caves, only in towers.

Plus they are not only in burial chambers either. Those can be found inside of or just outside of towers too.

[earnest field]

I haven't seen any mountain towers yet

I'll go looking to a further away from spawn mountain later

[fossil delta]

Thats odd. I typically see far more towers than I do caves. Plus there are the wood structures, but those are only good for onions, not Moder locations.

[earnest field]

I have a mountain about 3000 meters from spawn, maybe it will have some more points of interests. (still the spawn island interestingly enough)

I've already raided 2 mountains out of all the silver and obsidian, the onion seeds I've found earlier than I killed bonemass too. But those mountains only had a cave each and a house. Quite poor

[fossil delta]

Yeah, my current solo has a real nice mountain on my spawn island. Fortunately I built my base next to the Black Forest, in which that mountain is in the middle of. So it made getting silver real easy.

[earnest field]

Similar case to my current base

I might move my base again after defeating moder, but I am not sure about it cause I already spent a lot of time on my current place

[fossil delta]

Plains is a good place to move to, since you have to farm those crops in the plains.

[earnest field]

I might move to the meadows next to my closest plains biome on my starter island. It also borders a swamp and a mountain.

[fossil delta]

Nice. Sounds like a great location to get a lot of mats easily.

In my solo, I put my plains farm/base right next to Mistlands. A mountain is close by too.

I'm still looking for Yag, so haven't done a lot in the Mistlands yet.

[earnest field]

I've only had a glimpse at the structure from far away, but I am quite sure I've seen the yagluth altar. Might sail there later just to check it out.

I will be happy if it is

[fossil delta]

Spotting it while sailing is the most common way I find it.

I've just been going real slow with my solo, since I spend most of my time playing Valheim with my wife.

[earnest field]

That must be really nice. I am enjoying myself playing solo very much, I could not say the same for something like minecraft for example.

[strange cradle]

I have found a perfect spot on my "forever"-world. A small strip of Meadows with a small harbour to the sea on the south side. East is Black Forest. West is Plains. NW is Swamp. North is a huge Moder mountain. Perfect spot.

[fossil delta]

Certainly sounds perfect.

[strange cradle]

It really is. And beautiful to boot.

[fossil delta]

My wifes and I's base is in a Draugr Village we restored. Its at the base of a nice mountain, with a swamp nearby, with a BF between the swamp and the mountain. So pretty good.

[strange cradle]

That is a nice spot as well. There was originally a Draugr village on that very spot in my world as well. 😉

[fossil delta]

Its our first time using one as our main base. It works pretty well, but I prefer building mine from the ground up.

[strange cradle]

Oh, I tore down most of it, and only kept one small A frame and a rear part of one of the bigger houses. All the other houses were razed.

The good part was, that I didn't have to do much hoeing, as the place was mostly flat already.

[fossil delta]

Thats what I should have done, but we wanted to give this lay out a try.

[strange cradle]

It's certainly not bad if you spread your stuff over many houses. Like workshop in one house, living in another. Kitchen in a third. Storage wherever. 😄

[fossil delta]

It had the two main buildings plus 4 other buildings, and a tower.

[strange cradle]

I do like the village look.

[fossil delta]

It was pretty solid until we got into the Mistlands. Then I had to start expanding buildings to make room for the black forge, etc...

[strange cradle]

Yep. I had to build a complete tower for that stuff.

[fossil delta]

Normally I make one big house in which I can fit everything.

[strange cradle]

Black marble mage tower ftw.

Yes, I tend to do that as well, but with Mistlands I had to add that mage tower. Building it out of black marble instead of the regular wood and stone I use gave it and the Mistlands forge and Galdr table a nice look.

I have another house where I put these just on the second floor. It's just not the same vibe if they're sitting in a wooden attic instead of that ominous black marble tower.

[fossil delta]

I've moved to the Mistlands in two, maybe 3, of my previous play throughs.

[strange cradle]

Na... not for me. I like Mistlands... But I don't want to deal with Gjalls all the time. 😛

Ok, once you have the shield generator that helps a bit...

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they do like to show up a lot, aside from any raids.

[strange cradle]

Exactly. And they're totally capable of ruining your nice build.

[fossil delta]

Black marble holds up really well. Plus I have a good bow skill.

[strange cradle]

That helps. My bow skill is meh.

I only use it for sniping and killing drakes.

[fossil delta]

I use it enough I am at least over 60 by the time I get to the Mistlands. I used to use bows a lot more, but prefer getting my melee skills higher.

[strange cradle]

Wow... I only ever had my sword skill once over sixty. Never anything else. I tend to die too often. Mostly because of stupid decisions I make. 😉

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I used to die a lot. I've gotten a lot smarter. 😄

[strange cradle]

😄

Yeah, my reflexes just suck, and even though I may have become much smarter about the game, I also have become a lot more reckless. 😄

"Just one more whack, come on... oh... dead..."

[fossil delta]

I aid on the side of caution more than ever. It sucks recovering all those skill points you lose. Especially since I tend to get at least 4 into the 90's by the time I land in the Ashlands. Then I have at least 4 more above 50.

[strange cradle]

Yeah... that's like... NEVEREVER going to happen to me. 😉

[fossil delta]

Well, like I said, I used to die a lot.

[strange cradle]

I am usually cautious, except for that stupid moment where I think I can do it and then... I couldn't.

[fossil delta]

Well, I do have over 5000 hours learning those lessons. Can't say I learned fast.

[strange cradle]

Like health down to 10%, and you have a one star seeker in front of you whose health is also pretty low. And you think you can beat it with one more hit. Nope. Doesn't work.

[fossil delta]

Yeah. Patience. You have to be patient. 😄

[strange cradle]

Oh... I am... 😄 Just... sometimes not. 😄

[fossil delta]

See, thats the trick. You have to always be patient.

I'm kind of having to learn a new level of it with Ashlands. The constant fighting makes me lose my patience.

[strange cradle]

I probably have over 2000 hours in this game... and I'm taking it VERY slowly... But yeah... sometimes my "aggressive negotiations" are detrimental to the whole outcome... 😉

Ashlands... isn't really that bad. I think.

[fossil delta]

I still managed to do well last time. Only died 3 times, and two of those were against Fader.

[strange cradle]

Once you've cleaned a lot of those spawners it sometimes can even become serene.

Oh, I died A LOT more.

Like... A LOT.

[fossil delta]

You have to be able to hang out in those cleared areas. You can't do much of that until you've cleared enough fortress' and gathered plenty of Flametal.

At least this time we landed right on top of Fader. So just need the bells.

[strange cradle]

Carapace is already pretty ok in my book, and I usually go for the Asksvin set for added maneuvrability(sp?).

Asksvin has about the same armour value as Carapace.

Just need the Flametal shield and Nidhögg and I'm good.

[fossil delta]

I go heavy every time. I'm not hung up on the movement like so many appear to be. I move just fine, and fast. Of course run and jump are two of the skills I always get to 100, eventually. Then the meads make you even more super human.

[strange cradle]

Wow... again... I can't get nothing over sixty except maybe sword...

And I do like heavy armor myself.

But especially in Ashlands I need the added speed due to the larger attack groups.

[fossil delta]

Like I said, I did die alot. It wasn't until I focused on doing Zero Death Runs, back when plains was the last biome, that I stopped dying much, if at all. I've almost got to Fader last time without dying.

[strange cradle]

Na... can't do that. I couldn't bring myself to delete and start all over just because of a stupid death (probably due to a troll smashing me to a pulp).

I like Valheim a lot, but this would be too much of an ordeal to me.

[fossil delta]

I didn't stop playing because I died. I just kept going as practice for the next time.

Now I usually, but not always, don't die until I am at least in the Mistlands.

[strange cradle]

Yeah, I usually make it to Swamps, before I die the first time.

[fossil delta]

A good start.

[strange cradle]

Not because I don't know how to handle them.

It's just stupid errors on my part.

[fossil delta]

They usually are. 😄

[strange cradle]

😄

And that's why I can't go for zero death runs.

Because I know I will make a stupid mistake.

[fossil delta]

Like the only times it isn't is like when a 2 star charred warrior comes up behind you and whacks you while your fighting other stuff.

[strange cradle]

Ouch.

Yeah... One hit wonder.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, they come out during the day. Unlike other biomes.

[strange cradle]

I've found out that I could block a two star warrior even with Asksvin armor when you use the Flamemetal tower shield.

[fossil delta]

Finally found out Morgen are also starred a few days ago. Been very lucky before then, I guess.

[strange cradle]

I mean you take a bit of damage, but it's ok.

Oh yes! They're crazy strong!

[nocturne wolf]

they can only be starred at their one-time spawn points

so they're harder to find than most starred enemies

[fossil delta]

What are those? How do you identify those points?

[nocturne wolf]

putrid holes and some ashlands ruins can have morgens spawned in them

[fossil delta]

Cleared plenty of Putrid Holes, with no starred Morgens. So guess I found a ruin, since it was outside.

[strange cradle]

Yeah, they're REALLY rare.

Fortunately.

[idle storm]

Fought a couple 1 stars but only one 2 star ever

[strange cradle]

Only ever found one one star Morgen.

[fossil delta]

Yeah, I know how to fight them now, but starred have a lot more HP, so take even longer. Which is not good in Ashlands, fighting for longer times, that is.

[idle storm]

and that was mostly a lot of screaming and abusing the trollstav 😂

[strange cradle]

😄

[fossil delta]

Same.

[nocturne wolf]

ooh look in the member list, is that a new developer 👀

[fossil delta]

Maybe, never noticed that name before.

[strange cradle]

I don't even know where to find those things tbh. 😉

[fossil delta]

They only constantly show when your on your PC. Phones never show them. For me anyways, just may be how I view it.

[strange cradle]

I never use Discord on a phone.

I'm old and old-school. 😉

[fossil delta]

If your on PC there is a view to where you see everyone who is on the server listed, with the developers at the top.

[strange cradle]

Oh, ok... no idea on how to get this.

[nocturne wolf]

it's a button in the top-right

next to search

[strange cradle]

Ah! Found it. Thanks!

[fossil delta]

I'm old too. Married for going on 36 years kind of old.

[strange cradle]

Yep. 31 years and counting.

Once you pass 10 years or so, the time really starts to fly.

And you go... what? We're married for 30 years already?

Where did all that time go?

[fossil delta]

The kids being out of the house helps with that. 😄

[strange cradle]

😄

Yeah, never had kids. Sometimes I regret it. But most often not.

[fossil delta]

I don't regret having them. Of course, it helps to have your kids grow up to be good people.

[strange cradle]

I agree.

So... gotta go... It's bedtime for this old man.

👋

[fossil delta]

Dang. Guess you don't live in the US. 😄

[strange cradle]

Nope. Germany. 🙂

[fossil delta]

I've played on servers with people from Germany.

[strange cradle]

Worked for 25 years for the US military, though.

Kinda hard not to in my region. 😄

[fossil delta]

Yeah, my wife and I are Veterans. Never went to Europe, though, until after we were out.

[strange cradle]

I've met a lot of active duty and civilians who loved it so much in Europe that they wanted to stay here.

[fossil delta]

Yep. There is a lot to like about Europe.

[strange cradle]

It's not as... big. 😄

[fossil delta]

Also true.

[strange cradle]

Hehe, so gotta go for now. CYA!

[tacit crystal]

Those that are burrowed and emerge from ground when close can have stars.

[nocturne wolf]

i thought random spawned morgens are also burrowed? have I not played ashlands enough?

[tacit crystal]

There are 2 new.

[earnest field]

#screenshots message
Found a yagluth vegvisir very close to where I thought he was, very pleased about it.

[fossil delta]

So no way to spot them beforehand?

[tacit crystal]

They can spawn randomly and walk around, those don't get stars. Only the ones that emerge from ground can have.

[fossil delta]

Nice! They are often at least 1/4 of the map away when I find them via a Vegvisir.

[tacit crystal]

Not really, they can have one time spawns also in the middle of ruins.

They're the same as those inside putrid holes.

[fossil delta]

Figures. I've only ran into one so far, so definitely on the rare side of spawns.

Especially considering how many Putrid Holes I have cleared.

[tacit crystal]

Those you can see walking around won't get stars.

[fossil delta]

Well, I've also cleared a lot of putrid holes, so still kind of surprised I hadn't seen one before.

[reef shoal]

man i gotta stop browsing mods

[tacit crystal]

It's the same chance as other mobs to spawn with stars.

[fossil delta]

Then I am even more surprised. Maybe I have ran into them before, and was just so focused on killing them I didn't notice they were starred. 😄

[reef shoal]

ill add that this is my first playtrough and i already added weapons and armours + QoL mods (build cam was needed)

[tacit crystal]

It's easy to miss tho since they don't visually change when they spawn with stars.

[fossil delta]

I never use mods on my first play throughs. Of course, Valheim has been an extremely odd duck for me, since I still haven't used mods.

[reef shoal]

so uh any tips for mountains since i just beat the blob

[noble warren]

Be prepared for trouble and cold

[tacit crystal]

Frost meads help for the start.

[fossil delta]

There have been a few where I remember thinking they seemed harder than usual to kill. So I probably have ran into them in the Holes before.

I don't recall getting extra mats, though. Do the starred ones not drop extras like the Gjall don't?

[reef shoal]

aight

[idle storm]

they do

[tacit crystal]

Iirc they do. But it has been some time since I've encountered starred one.

[fossil delta]

Hmmm... I do usually play with my wife, so maybe she picked them up instead of me. If I even did run into starred ones before. RNG can do that.

[idle storm]

though you're not actually facing that many morgen during a regular playthrough so you not meeting many (or even any) could easily just be RNG, yeah.
Just had some experience with that one myself with my hunt for a valk trophy 😂

[fossil delta]

I've gone 40+ bears without a trophy, so I imagine I can go 40+ Morgen without them being starred.

[fossil delta]

I run into a lot of Morgen. Think I have over 40 hearts just this play through.

[idle storm]

183 celestial feathers. Plus whatever it took to upgrade my magic weapons and craft the galdr table upgrade.
That's how many valkyries it took until i got the trophy.

[fossil delta]

I got the trophy on my first Vlakyrie this time. Its only one of two so far.

[earnest field]

Still don't know where moder is, but I raided a fulling village and got a lot of flax, thanks to the power of sneak and bows

[fossil delta]

But I have less than 50 feathers, after crafting.

[earnest field]

I've got a stack of black metal and no way to use it ha!

[fossil delta]

Barley is the most helpful, early, since you can grow it to make meads, etc... I don't think you can do anything with Flax until after Moder.

[earnest field]

I've got only 5 barley

[idle storm]

you're going to need a bunch of it so it's good to start stockpiling early

[fossil delta]

ITs a start. 😄

[tacit crystal]

Sadly hearts have only one use so I drop them since I usually have stack of them in my base.

[fossil delta]

I stock pile them in case they have a use in the North. Unlikely, I know, but thats what I do until the next biome drops. Save everything.

[idle storm]

Same. I only start dropping things when my inventory is full and i need more space, otherwise everything gets stored.
I was quite happy i didn't throw out the stacks of blob and growth trophies when they added blob bombs

that does mean i have like 4 or 5 chests of charred bones but i just put those in an outpost somewhere so they don't take up main base space

[fossil delta]

I have to laugh at myself about it anyways. I have yet to go back and finish an old play through. I always do a new one.

[earnest field]

Even after being in a few, the frozen caves still give me a fealing of dread

I think it's the music

[light moat]

They’re alot of fun, my favorite dungeon in the game

[earnest field]

I still preffer the sunken crypts, they were really chill

[tacit crystal]

I'd say frost caves are quite chill.

[earnest field]

too chill, they send shivers down my spine!

crap I died

forgot I had the harnesk on and a cultist jumpscared me

I am glad it's close to home

or rather my portal

[cursive igloo]

Hey guys do you think our old saves will be usable in the deep north update

Even the new guy knows! 😄

[earnest field]

oh I've found an exposed silver vein

finally i defeated Yagluth now i can go tot the msitlands

[earnest field]

Good luck there!

Mistlands goated 🐐

[warped remnant]

i took me to long to find yoghurt but now taht i defeted him i can now finally progress

[haughty geode]

I totally did discover a "chasm" in frozen cave that lead into a room that couldn't be accessed otherwise
more over, it lead into tiny lake with Tetra fish!
and also you can, very carefuly, walk on the side of it

[abstract warren]

I think the crafting menu deperately needs an upgrade already...

[shy marlin]

UI could certainly be better yea

[abstract warren]

Every now and then I accidentally create the same item 3 times instead of upgrading it. I don't think it's entirely my fault

It's really annoying

[gray sand]

🤔

[abstract warren]

I mean yes it's my confusion. But the menu is just not well optimised.

[haughty geode]

it's old. it lack QoL. and UI design in general

[shy marlin]

I wonder if 1.0 will have some ui touch ups

[abstract warren]

Definitely should

[earnest field]

I don't have any issues with the UI, but it's definitely very old school

[abstract warren]

In real life isn't wood generally waterproofed from rain with resin or whatever?

I'm starting to question how practical and even realistic this constant rain damage really is...

[earnest field]

People finish wood with plastic resins. I have not ever heard of natural resin finishes.
As this game is Scandinavian inspired, the most fitting wood protectant would be linseed oil and linseed oil paint (linseed oil and pigment)
Flax is already in the game, so it would be pretty straightforwad to add linseed oil made from flax seeds.
And then the linseed oil would protect uncovered wood from rain, for a certain time before it needs to be reapplied.

[abstract warren]

Sounds like a good idea to me

I bet it's already been suggested(?)

[earnest field]

Haven't got the slighest idea

I'll write a suggestion cause why not.

Done :), came up with a few more ideas while writing it.

I've explored some more moutains but still no towers, only frozen caves.

[gray sand]

Resin to protect wood has been suggested many, many times.

Darkwood is immune to rain, just fyi.

[earnest field]

that's why I suggested oil and not resin /j

[abstract warren]

Yeah thought so...

[warped remnant]

i mean we could set the wood on fire its also then protected by rain

[true sonnet]

When will deep north drop? estimate?

[gray sand]

When it is ready.

[true sonnet]

yeah no pressure just asking

[gray sand]

Estimate: after it is completely done and prepared to be pushed.

[true sonnet]

alright thanks

[final bloom]

@near furnace Thank you that the game is able to be modded widely so that I can tweak it the way my kids need it to be (we get very fixated on certain things and without the ability to change the wonderful world to suit those needs, my kids wouldn’t be able to survive gameplay for long). This is the first game all 4 kids have been able to play and laugh, cry, design, build together and make it their own.
Please pass this onto the other devs how much it has allowed us to come closer as a family with a central thing to do together.
From one Dev to another, much appreciation and respect for how the game development has been handled.

[jagged crag]

logon, thinking of a relaxing saturday morning, "a foul smell from the swamp". Happy saturday!

[strange cradle]

Yeah, that's weird. I though you had a chance every 40sum minutes or so for a raid. But how can you get a raid when you've just logged in?

[jagged crag]

crazy! instant raid haha

[strange cradle]

Yep. Been there, done that. 😉

[jagged crag]

killed 2nd boss last night, put the trophy on the runestone, and instant raid today when logged in, my base is in black forest, 4-5 draugs killed me xDD

[strange cradle]

Ouch.

[tacit crystal]

Every 46 minutes there is 20% chance to trigger any available event if their requirements are met.

[strange cradle]

Yes, but if you literally just logged in, like five minutes ago and you get a raid?

[jagged crag]

now I know they are resistant to fire arrows

[strange cradle]

Draugr are best killed with sword, or you use a mace.

[earnest field]

I don't think the countdown is from the moment you log in, but from the last raid, no?

[strange cradle]

Could be.

[tacit crystal]

It's ongoing, it doesn't start from beginning if you log out and log in again.

[jagged crag]

got my lvl 4 bronze axe

[strange cradle]

Ok, that makes sense... It's a bit rough, though. You just logged in, still not rested, not fed... "The ground is shaking!"

[tacit crystal]

So sudden event after logging in is always possible if the timer just happens to trigger it.

[strange cradle]

Tough... But then this is no holiday.

[tacit crystal]

This is purgatory.

[jagged crag]

Hey, is greydwarf eye good for something?

[strange cradle]

Yep. Keep'em.

[jagged crag]

oh 🙂

[strange cradle]

Lots of uses.

You will find many more, but do keep them.

You should've found the earliest use already if you have killed the Elder.

[tacit crystal]

You probably have gotten fine wood and surtling cores too?

[jagged crag]

yeah

[tacit crystal]

Check the misc section from hammer menu.

[strange cradle]

I tried not to be so blunt. 😄

[earnest field]

A lox just destroyed half of my flax crops
Had to kill 3 of those assholes

easier than I thought it would be actually

[strange cradle]

Ah... the joys of farming in the Plains.

They're tough, but not invincible. BM atgeir is really good against lox.

[earnest field]

No plains gear for me yet though.
The bow made short work of them fortunately, with some needle arrows

[strange cradle]

That works well too, as long as you have the space to stay away from them.

Draugr Fang is good for that due to added poison.

[jagged crag]

ah thanks!

i would love the fishing rod from vendor, but cannot locate the guy in black forest 😉

[abstract warren]

The sneaky lil' Dvergr bugger can be hard to find sometimes

Usually he appears when you least expect it; just sailing out and about minding your own business
