Smitty is such a great builder
Absolutely. Have you seen his ship-turned-tavern in the swamps?
That is absofuckinglutely amazing stuff.
I would never have the patience for that.
Or some of the really gargantuan castles I have seen from other builders.
Oooh I haven’t actually! Gonna have to check it out! Yeah his castles are crazy good. I was really happy when he checked out Tiny Glade too!
Yup.
A little house I made some years ago. Very little influence from Smitty. My later builds have some more influence from him.
very nice!
Thank you. 🙂
Some of the tricks used here can be done with a completely wooden building as well.
Like the overhanging roof.
Hey guys, could I bother someone to help me get my gear back? My gear is trapped behind two spawners and a 2 star bow draugr that keeps smokin me. Just need 10 minutes of your time!
Nvm, I got it!
Archers have a very predictable pattern. You can kill them by anticipating that pattern and sidestepping their arrows, and then filling them with your own arrows. They don't sidestep, ironically. 😉
It works best from some distance.
hi anyone know how to change hotbar maping
really oh dam i finding it hard to play like this lmao
the 1-8 keys?
That's a really cozy build, might make something like this for a plains farm base
is the update close to launch?
We don’t know yet 
ah
do u think its worth starting my word right now, and get everything up to the new biome or just wait ?
We know the PS version and Switch version are coming this year 🤔
I think you’re fine to start up a world- just don’t get too far north yet, or the new content won’t generate when it comes out.
As long as your deep north biome stays untouched, it will effectively update once the content comes out.
is it gonna be a switch 2 exclusive?
I believe so, yeah. Switch 1 can’t handle it.
i was gonna swich 1 seemed a bit underpowerd for it
unless they do some crazy perfomance stuff like breath of the wild did
Just Play the game
Dont overthink it
Valheim might be the push I need to get a switch 2 
Buy the ultimate Nintendo pirating device
just get a pc a
Yeah, you just have to drain the area. In most cases. Some areas near by are harder to drain out than others.
Just built Stagbreaker. Any good?
As in, I drain the main pool, but near by areas still won't release mats.
it's good for large groups and hitting through walls
Up until swamps.
Shame. I'm just heading into swamps.
Then the iron hammer is better, obviously.
ITs good in the crypts, until you get enough iron to make the next big hammer.
I think you may not understand "just headed in." I've spent 45 seconds in the swamps, plus four or five days dead.
Dropped all my best gear, so I'm gearing back up to rescue myself and build a base nearby.
It is best to build a portal, etc... safely outside of your first swamp, or swamps, until you get used to dealing with the swamps.
Landing directly in the swamps from a boat has been the biggest reason for me helping rescue people over the years here.
i usually sneak in for the iron, once i get it and gear up, it becomes easy biome
Isn't there a team that you can hire to help get gear back? I remember hearing about it a long time ago.
Finding crypts has become much harder since the newer biomes were added. I used to find crypts pretty easily in most swamps. Now I can go through entire decent sized swamps, and find none, or maybe one. Like a swamp I went into yesterday. Nice and big, several surtling spawners even, one crypt.
When I was part of that, we did it for free. Maybe there was another group that charged people.
I just helped a guy here a couple of days ago.
i did find 15 crypts near my starting biome, cleared all of them
Hire wasn't the right term, I meant ask.
Thats an exceptional swamp now.
i feel like this game requires to be patient
or doing stuff is often longer than other games
(thats a good thing tho)
Patience definitely cut down on how often I die.
any recommended big modpacks that use EpicLoot?
Nice! You even got Haldor nice and close!
There are mod channels here you can ask in, plus there is a Valheim modding discord you can join, thats all about modding Valheim.
i'm already in them but they're not that active
The Valheim modding Discord is pretty active.
not as active as here
ya, i build portal near it, serves as a portal to trader and a portal near the swamp. So many times i sat near him for "rested" bonus and lissened to his "stories". Funny guy
Just to be clear, its not in or part of this Discord.
Its not, but everyone there uses mods. Except me. 😄 I won't use them until after 1.0.
Most here do not use mods.
Iron brooch or nimble anklet?
Personal preference.
Both are valid options.
I like brooch personally. Ratatosk is nice if you want more consistent speed
I prefer anklet myself. Relying on trinket to heal is not a good thing. Most of the time, I get hit because stamina ran out, and you'll definitely spend a lot ofstamina to trigger the trinket, so it's always beneficial
Finaly made it back to recover my body from the swamp. Died.
This time, I at least have a nearby house and portal.
I cleared an entire infested mine and found 0 black cores lol. Rite of passage?
Happens. Same way sunken crypts can have zero iron.
pretty standard to search a whole continent and get only five cores and have to construct and deconstruct the 3 different crafting stations that each use 5 cores until i bring myself to search another continent for cores…
(Joke)
Imagine you get to Deep North, you go in a cave, there's a shiny new crystal resource. You pick it up, and there's a loud voice echoing:
"A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON..."
So... tried my hand at the Queen again first time after the Bonemass nerf... sigh Let's just say it didn't end well and I hardly made a dent in her... Ok, got her down to almost half... But wow... it is REALLY hard to stay alive.
You really have to have dodge-roll down pat. No mistakes. If you mistime it, like I'm wont to, you're more or less dead. Well, maybe not, but it's brutal.
Parry over dodge now that it is free to use.
Glad I am not the only one. Frustrating!
Maybe the portal was made to take you to skyrim
hey that big ruined bridges are giving you really good resources 
anyone jumping on right now
Better not, so I don't wake up anyone.
Kidding, you can ask people to play with in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍
i was forces to fight a 2 star solider insect in around my base that was annoying 
Just keep exploring, sometimes that initial bad luck turns into crazy luck at some point in your run. There can be crazy swings in luck, next infested mine could have 5-6 black cores like one of mine did. I had the 15 cores needed but still had to find 2 more mines to get the last 2 fragments for the Sealbreaker.
That is just how it goes sometimes
Does anyone know why I lag so much when I play on Xbox?
Like I’m on an older gen xbox but I’m running like 20fps constantly and less and I don’t know how to get more fps
as long as it says it loud enough to jump scare me 2x volume as the normal game volume.
Are you on a Series S?
It is not unusual to use your first 5 Black Cores to get you your Eitr and first crafted items that you want and while your Eitr is processing that is when you continue to explore and find more mines. If your current items are good enough to survive the mines and Mistlands then you will be fine
Yeah the Xbox one S but not the series S
Oh sheesh that's even worse.
The older generation
Ok you're running on severely diminished GPU power.
Yeah ik😭
Yeah I’ve never had problems on other games tho
Yeah you just need to upgrade and when you do get a Series X, not a Series S.
Because those games are optimized for your system.
Valheim is an indie game and it's difficult for a small team to optimize for specific systems, especially older ones.
Yeah that’s true but I was just wondering if there was like anyway I could get more fps
To give you an idea of how big of a gap there is between the CURRENT gen Series S and X...
The X has 12.15 TFLOPS of GPU power vs 4 TFLOPS of GPU power in the S.
So for the Xbox One S...yeah, you're cooked.
Yeah I’m aware how bad it is and i can’t upgrade rn
one thing to note. valheim does not have any limitations to how bad you can make your FPS
if you want to build 100,000 build pieces. you can
Yeah I’m at the swamp part of the game rn and I don’t have crazy builds
It sucks cuz I’ve crashed with like 30 cores and lost it all
That's not fun 🙁
we got #xbox-bugs-discussion if you want to report any kind of issues
Yeah tbf its definitely just on my end the game is super fun I just need a better Xbox😭
man why are these dang dwarves so greedy with their blue jute
share some with a fellow viking

Decorate your walls with their beards 😁
The only dverger I allow to live are the ones who have something to trade 😈
@karmic swan since I JUST joined the discord server YESTERDAY, would LOVE to know why you find it necessary to send me a random friend request. LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣
prolly a bot 🤔
Welcome to the server 😂
@mighty jewel you as well bot.
they should nerf resistances across the board
is there a dc server/channel or a place where i could meet people to play valheim? or public valheim server?
Or lure a strong enemy to the dvergr base and they destroy everything 👍
And they can't even blame us for it UwU
Summon a personal troll 😉
Or that 😎
Trollstav OP
was tehre an update of some sort overnight? i cant connect to my dedicated server and ive done nothing
Where can I post gameplay/build screenshots? I think #screenshots is not the correct channel
why are there lanterns on the top of the mountains in mistlands
I’m guessing the Dvergr placed them to serve as waypoint 🤔
Because the Blue Lantern Corps put them there 😏
I hope Valheim comes to PS5 real soon. It’s saying on the PS5 Store 2026..Got the game on my wishlist about 2 weekends ago. Heard about the game off a random YouTuber who play video games.
2026 is all that is confirmed.
Yep..That is fact on the PS Store status on the PS5.
Stuff, I seen and read seems like the devs are putting more things in the game from time to time. That is a good thing! 🙂👍 I’m glad that they still improve things and still cooking up some things time to time. All of you have fun playing the game and take care! 🙂👍
Back in Valheim 
had to work three days since friday, including the weekend.
But I can play again now UwU
Fun? Playing this extremely serious, hardcore, only-one-meta game?
FUN?!??!
😛 😉
@gray sand As soon as I saw this game on YouTube like 2 weekends ago, I was like oh ok this my type of game. I’m sure it’ll take me like a solid week to figure out how to do things in the game. Like other games, I play. You have a good night! About to watch some episodes of a random tv show, I like and go to bed.
@mods why is the word “sk1b1d1” a timeout offense?
I got timed out for 10 min the other day and had no idea :/
I've been timed out for using a very common German word and for saying to "grab" something because it is apparently a common word usage in spamming.
Also can't say the famous youtuber Mister B for similar reasons
Yeah that’s crazy. I do understand how some brain rot 10 year old might just spam the word I used but it was used ironically 🫠
I have to say, hanging out in the Ashlands at night for the whole night is pretty fun
Its most fun when you have half the continent your on chasing you.
i destroy the spawners
Kind of hard to do when 1/4 the continent is already chasing you.
(Not really that bad, but it sure felt like it was)
Irony is also timed out. 
Gonna need some deep north in my life real quick
You will be disappointed, as it is not coming "real quick."
Can’t convince me with your lies server booster. I want confirmation from a dev
Um... read the latest from the devs about how they will have more to show in the coming months before DN actually drops.
Confirmed by devs in latest Word from devs blog post.
Can't convince them with your lies, green-name.
They will listen only to purple-names!
😏
Ai
I want confirmation from a dev not helper
Not AI, from latest post: #news message
Photoshop
Someone change String_cheese's name to Cleopatra, because they are the Queen of Denial.
Helpers and moderators can speak on devs' behalf in this server.
😂
Honestly I respect it, bro took "take everything you read on the internet with a grain of salt" and is livin by it
🥁
Nope
That’s like saying you can speak on highly wanted people trying to convince their innocent despite the atrocities they’ve committed
Typing up a storm just say it’s coming out soon
Well, since we are hand picked by devs responsible for handling this server we can confirm certain things on their behalf.
lies lies lies
In that case, anything you read in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 is posted by devs, so please don't waste your time being stubborn.
All of that is filled with misinformation
Not being stubborn
I won’t be deceived by you.
Your tricks don’t work on me.
And they never will
Because I’m the almighty wise String_Cheese I can see through your baseless lies
@tacit crystal stopped typing because I figured it all out.
You’ve been caught.
Obvious troll. Good luck staying in this server for long. 👍
Easy block.
much confusion
Block = confusion removed 😉
@spare cobalt could you not be Rude towards our helpers? 🤔
Deep north will be out when its done and not s second earlier.
??
I guess I’m trolling
balright I still do t see how I was rude 😭
by saying I won’t be deceived?
ig opinions are rude now uncs b tripping
Skibidi Toilet?
Probably
Who is this 😭 zero corolation to the conversation just chatting atp
🧙♀️ ⌛
Scales knows what’s up
So is it yeetable or slappable?
the latter pls
Blue jute farming is going to put me in eternal despair
and I thought farming thousands of core wood was bad 😭
You farming 1000 of each item?
not intentionally, but I calculated that I needed roughly 750 blue jute for building stuff
Probably
pretty much, I like how the blue banners etc look with the fey lights and the wood walls
I like the moon its cool
Queen is overtuned AF.
Best gear in the game barely scratches her and you die in two hits, plus she constantly spawns seekers?
Devs are on shrooms. 🤭
magic is very good against her if you are struggling
lol I just started mistlands. It is so much more difficult than plains
she has 2.5k more hp than yagluth, who has 2.5k more hp than moder, pretty exactly tuned for being damaged. use feather cape to jump to the bottom if you need a quick break, the devs also provide lots of aoe options for summons like fireball and bile bomb
Yeah, I found her attacks to be quite easy to dodge as well, the movements are really telegraphed. Once you figure out a strategy to wipe the adds, it's kinda smooth sailing.
my only death vs her was when i missed the dodge timing of her big bite cuz it’s such a long move. but i had already taken a hit or two and couldve paused the fight, i barely died to the extra poison of the bite. i probably lived with poison resist lol.
Relatable haha, that attack got me as well.
magic makes her a cakewalk. Run up the stairs while spamming fireballs, float back down to regen eitr, repeat until death. You never even need to get into melee range.
its a tough one. i think that was my second playthrough vs her. third was health food and blackmetal tower and i just held right click and laughed at her attacks like fine i wont dodge this time.
yeah thats how i did my first fight vs her, was definitely more dynamic than every other fight but zero deaths, lots of fun, think thats the devs intended playstyle for that boss
Though before they nerfed Bonemass power you didn't even need to block or dodge, you could just zerg her down in under 5 minutes with 2hp foods and upgraded carapace armor
so i'd hardly call her overtuned even for melee
yeah, bonemass was really silly, good nerf
it's still pretty powerful, you just need to actually use the block button now instead of just facetanking boss hits
Yeah, she might be one of the easiest when you consider that you just leave whenever and try again with renewed supplies/timers.
No chase involved there, you can even have your portal right outside her door. 😅
yeah that too
as long as you have a decent aoe option to deal with the adds you shouldn't need to though
which, if you don’t have an AOE option yet and you’ve fought through infested dungeons, it’s your own fault
ooze bombs exist and are more than sufficient to deal with seeker brood
so yeah, there's really no excuse
and once you've crafted Jotun Bane there's literally nothing else to use bilebags for
and honestly why even bother with Jotun Bane now? Skull Splittur does almost the same chop damage and what else do you need an axe for?
the lack of downward chop on skull splittur is a little awkward sometimes so i still prefer JB for woodcutting
fair point.
i actually felt that with using early axes, my favorite thing with bronze axe is getting in a down chop on a tree that just started falling hitting it and the stump. once i learned early axe lunge has no mtp i just cut wood differently and spammed that at fallen tree clumps
Dvegrs get mad if you destroy their crates even though ward is already gone?
They shouldnt, no
Oh, i just realised, the lightining from my axe bounce to the dvegr
or he got close enough to get hit by it
Yeah, i was about to ask if you didn't accidentally hit one of them while destroying the crate 😄
Silly me xD
Now i have to deal with the 1 star dvegr mage who hits like a truck
1 starred dvegr mage almost destroyed my stone portal which will be kinda annoying if it ended up getting destroyed
I once figured that out also in very unfortunate way. 
It almost ended my first deathless run after Ashlands update.
Dvegrs love to get near on the crates and stuff
And last run with my group, one of us had Thundering axes and fighting mobs near dvergr camp in Ashlands, then he accidentally aggroed some of those dvergr with that chaining lightning, suddenly I get hit with 200 damage by 1 star dvergr, dying instantly, then soon after me the others in my group respawned from their beds. 😆
Idk why that 1 starred dvegr mage fireball is not a fireball more like an inferno xD
I killed the Queen with melee for half the fight then switched to magic for the other half when I realized melee had some issues, but no regrets. Took 30 mins to down her. Been hanging out just fine in the Ashlands with both melee and magic but I do prefer magic
this makes me want a live action valheim movie, or at least some extended live parody of valheim moments
like one person cant find their 2 friends, suddenly a troll log lands on their head and pop they appear next to their 2 friends in bed like oh hey.
1 star dvger fire mage deals: Fireball: 195 Fire + 150 Fire, no wonder my shield of protection level 4 is broke by just a shot from that fireball
then there is the Clusterbomb that deals 150 fire + 150 fire
If 1 starred dvegr fire mage deals this much, i cant imagine what damage a 2 star can do
Maybe having a feather cloak would make the difference, but I more or less tried to do this and the Seekers kept zerging me
They're not overly difficult to kill with a fire staff, but it takes up precious Eitr and the queen like to sneak up on you
well yeah you need the feather cloak to get the necessary regen time
you can also bring some bile or ooze bombs as an attack option when your eitr is low
Mayhaps I just let myself get too frustrated on my first attempt. 🤭
So Ratatosk is meth, right?

It’s magic squirrel juice. So yes.
Good so there's a reason I've just been mainlining that shit since I discovered it
I mean, wow. It changes everything
I keep forgetting to drink it until I’m already in the thick of things
We're basically up to the end of the ashlands. Just got a couple of mysterious locations to find and a bunch of flametal to mine, and we'll be ready to do the emerald flame
And only just found the recipe
All of a sudden I have a box full of mashed meat because I'm able to zip around getting voltures
I bet I'm gonna forget I've drunk it and then fail with the cultivator for a bit
Clicking at max speed I can fit 7 barley's per row I have laid out
But when. I used the ask cloak I kept only getting six and I couldn't figure out why
That sounds like something I’d do
My group got a 4th friend into the game on Friday. We just got to plains so we geared him for plains but he doesn't have any experience yet. We're working on taking down a lox when he runs in with a mace and no shield. I tried to warn him but before I could I saw his skeleton get removed from his skin in 1 hit.
Then on the way back from the nearest portal, he makes a beeline straight for his corpse neglecting to notice the uncleared fuling village in between. He pulled a leroy jenkins on the whole group. 
i got now my first two chickens 
im shocked youre using magic without a feather cloak, thats the best way to regen your magic is just leap off the ramps and float to the bottom. definitely be as rested as possible and try to finish the fight asap. dont be afraid to use bile bombs either, just because you have fireballs doesnt mean you cant save magic
NO CAPES!
Yeah my brother tried to tell me, but I thought it would be a breeze like previous bosses so I went in without taking his advice. 😏
I am the architect of my own misery.
not even against the queen???
Rules are rules 😁
How about you equip it just to jump down and then unequipped immediately?
Also Carapace Armor with no cape is the favorite look in the entire game.
What would I possibly be jumping from during the queen fight?
oh, I guess you would have to be using magic to need to run from the queen…
Ok, even when I did magic - what would I possibly be jumping from during the queen fight?
well, not running from exactly, just waiting for your magic to regenerate
-JUMPING from-
Unless of course, you think oh wait I have a sword too
well running via jumping lol
Metaphorical running, like me and my responsibilities
What would I possibly be jumping from that necessitates feather fall during the queen fight?
-# Is that enough words for you to finally understand my question? 😭
to call time out on the queen fight to regenerate magic or health?
She does that herself when she burrows and magically climbs to higher floors.
ohhhhhhhhh you’re trying to say you stand in the entrance and cheese the boss
I will never cheese a boss.
I just fight her on the ground floor until she puts herself in timeout and then I wait for her to come back down.
man. its a good thing there aren’t seman-ticks in the mistlands or they’d kill me every time
Semen ticks sounds like something you should go to the doctor for. 😉
oh god. yeah im gonna choose to never use that phrase again.
When ps5 release
this year
Same with Switch2 release 😄

Hi
I been playing solo all night is there any friendly servers for a newbie
I got the game 10 hours ago
Look in #1024264966712340510 🙂 tho i highly suggest you do the first playthrough solo
Ok thanks
Mee too looking for somone to play with
there you go! it’s fate! two new best friends ready go!
Yep 😄 2 new players playing together could work wonders
XD
i think i fought queen sitting on the top floor spamming fireballs and running around
its been a minute
i think i ran around every inch of that place the first time lol, brought zero wisp torches because why would i think to do that, and when she started diving out of the fog at me at half health it was terrifying and awesome, whoever came up with that idea is a champ
@grave prism I tend to livestream my gameplay if that's ok with you then we can try teaming up
there are wodden great swords lol
Now you can train with your friend or against T.W.I.G.
⚔️ 
when deep north
We dont know yet 🙂
When developers think it is ready to be added. 👍
I’m curious if the deep north will have a deep snow mechanic
Like movement speed reduction or something
Snazzy seems to think so, could be neat to make snowshoes
The last Hervor clip could indicate something like that as she walks. 
Could be visual but yea I suspect something
Would be cool if there’s a snow on roof mechanic too
If it's a more relaxed biome I wonder how realistic a deep north start would be in a playthrough
Relevant. 
Got my first Rancid Remains Trophy. So i calculated all the Burial Chambers that i've cleared. 30 of them, for 1 trophy
Yeah, I just wait for the surprise raid. I usually get a trophy during one of those. I don't need 200+ cores.
i found that funny when you go tru the mistlands there are some time lone random dverger 
I bet he thought the same thing about you
"What is that random ass norseman doing here?"
They aren't always alone. Some times they are in pairs. I don't think I have seen more than 2 outside of towers.
some two heavy arm individuals in the msitlands
Norseman: is that a dvegrer 
Dverger: is that a human 
The dverger literally say that. "Is that a Norseman?"
by me some of them stand alone near this alone blue lanterns that are scatters around mistlands 
Yep. Again, they are usually alone, but some times I find two.
Its been similar in Ashalnds too. Even though I think I find them in pairs more often than in Mistlands.
Like I have a pair keep respawning next to where I landed.
finally i have now the feather cap
I love the Feathered Cape! It makes the game so much more fun for me.
it does really fell good the feather cap
found a second Rancid Remains Trophy, from 35 Burial chamberss
also awesome that feather cap has frost resistance 
Are you collecting them?
it's good to have 1, for the collection, i'm just clearing every dungeon, smash bash and stash everything
It's quiet... TOO quiet
It's gonna be the biome of jumpscares
Ooh I could go for some horror elements
I have a feeling you're gonna have to watch your back in the deep north
3 Rancid Trophies from 38 Burial chambers, man.. the first one with 30 was pure no luck
RNG often works against us. Some play throughs I get hard trophies on my very first drop.

I envy you
I went almost to the ashlands
I particularly enjoy getting Moder mtn surrounded by mistlands
Just experienced my first "Ground is Shaking" event. FML.
ah yes, greylings
I don't mind the greylings. I objected to the 5 trolls.
OTOH, I now have enough skins to finish my armor.
i'm at the stage where i melee them down with one 3x attack combo
hey guys valheim is on sale rn but none of my friends wanna play it shall i play solo or is it not fun?
I'm playing solo. Having a blast.
I still kite them for 10 or 15 arrows.
it's more fun solo if you ask me, and playing it permadeath, so that you crap your pants full all the time, best way to play
tbh i would ragequit xd btw can i play base game or are there quality of life mods that i can add?
you die you restart
not interested for now tho
no mods is more than fine if you ask me
alr
Many. I'm sticking strictly to QOL mods. Grid-planting, eternal fire, and craft-from-chests.
can u send me in private or here all the list i'll do that
But as you can see some of us are a bit more hardcore. 🤣
i'll plan on doing that when i finish my first playthrough
I'd recommend refraining from using mods in first playthrough, to get the full experience.
you can make your farm grid to look nice, i did this: #screenshots message
took 6 hours to do but hey, i like it
okay no worries then
thx to all three of you
You did that manual? Mad respect.
Game is very much worth it and fun both solo and co-op with close friends. I've mainly played solo tho.
But if friends are not interested then there is https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 where you can look up for people to play with.
I've done a lot of solo too, but well over half has been with others, mostly my wife.
how much time it takes
dream goal
try Raft next
i've done minecraft and terraria for now raft i tried but it's not my thing
damn only 1.5gb nice
I own it, but I have this problem named Valheim. I keep playing it over and over again. 😄 😄 Then, when I don't, I'd rather go replay even older games I like instead.
same, for now, i play Valheim it's a looong game the way i play
for older games... i pick STS from time to time. Love the v2 version, so refreshing
It depends, the game is not a race and you can take all your time enjoying the whole journey.
tbh for my first playthrough i wanna rush a bit just to have an idea of how the game works then take all my time
Many of us regret not taking even MORE time doing our first times. But its your call.
i started with a small rush, to get familiar with the game, then i played like permadeath kinda thing, restarted about 10 legit runs, then i switched to building things and farming
the things than made me restart the most were Trolls at first, then Fulings then Growth
got one restart from mosquito
That’s what I’m doing
I've never done permadeath. I just try to not die for as long as possible. Like my last run I was almost to the final boss when I had my first death. I'm not going to throw all those hours away just because I finally died. So I look at the rest as practice for my next try.
i did core keeper, terraria, diablo, valheim and deus ex HE permadeaths
around 100 replays on deus ex, got so good that i was able to take all the enemies for max xp, collect every item and not shoot a single bullet (except for bosses). The worst run was when i faced a final boss (the moment when you want to waste all your combat rifle bullets). I threw an attachable-grenade (mine template) to the final boss. The boss died, and so did I 😄 😄 best experience ever
damn u a tryhard
If I did 100 replays on Valheiim, that would be...25,000 hours. Yeah, not doing that.
I think I am bad enough with over 5300.
it is hard, definetely not for everyone, I just like the thrill, it's... intense.
it's kinda like playing the game for the first time every time, if you know what i mean. Even if you replay dozens of time
in Valheim i was building something, something high, and slipped and felt down, 1 HP left. My reaction to the event: frozen for a minute, reevaluating the gameplay
Yep. As long as you have over 100 HP you can survive any fall.
Oh great, one of my drynwyn fragments is located to the far east of the biome 😂
That has been spoken of so poorly here I have never bothered to even try to get it.
A small improvement really would be loot in those mysterious locations like what you find on the charred fortress
but alot more in trade of for risk
I pronouce it "Dern-wyn" and "De-ver-ger"
But in reality I just call dvergrs as sausages
"Fire Sword"
"Kill on sight people"
😏
i say "dreenwin" and "d verger" and i feel like dyslexic
"Cosmetic only sword"
c.o.s.
"I will put you on my wall sword"
K.O.S people 😭
i gotta retrieve all my sheeit from mistlands still 🙁 died so many time in a hole, at least its not underwater
Nah, not really. Can be tricky to fish up quality 3 or higher though.
Got the first leg of my new compound laid out, and the first corner built to the second story as planned.
Now I just have to level a LOT of ground.
how to find ashvine easily?
Asksvins are normally found farther in the continent of your ashland
They dont spawn too close to the shores
thank you ^^
The regular asksvins are not worth taming
If you can find a 1star
If you want the much more beefier boi you'll have to go out at night just like finding 2star wolves
2star asksvins are much more tanky, beefier, and deal alot more damage
But be warned hunting for these 2star bois is not an easy task
i am looking for the berry 🙁
You can find the vineberries in ruined structures
More specifically the tall ones
how to farm them ?
You can get seeds from them and plant them at your base
You need the ashvines close to a wall so it can attach itself
In order to grow
If you want a detailed guide on how ashvines work
This guide is really great 
Sure they are, you can breed them with 2 stars. 
This haha but actual use for defense and other stuff not worth it imo
800 is not alot especially in ashland where most enemies do about 100+ damage
I mean, the food reproduction/material ease is surely still worth something.
Charred warriors and marksman make quite work of them
Is 2 weeks too long to wait to do Eikthyr on a community server?
Too long because?
They wanted ALL server members to be ready, but everyone had different schedules, so they weren't ever on all at once.
Then no, you're just progressing together.
If you don't like that, just play alone or with another group.
We actually started getting bored at some point and did a little skipping. In hindsight, we probably should have done our own files while waiting about, but hindsight isn't too good. Ended up with fenris armor somehow.
The crazier part is I had 100 Running at the end of things.
Yeah that's a bit silly, if I were expecting everyone to be at the same point I'd be a bit disappointed.
We do like a boss fight a month when me and my friends play, and that’s if we’re lucky 
I try to stick to small teams or solo these days. Mostly because I'm not one for a slow pace when playing Valheim. It needs to be a steady pace with high amounts of material farming.
Yeah, I have waited this long when playing with aussie friends, it took a while for playtime to sync for progress to happen.
Yeah, you might encourage you and any others that skipped ahead to bring in new characters so that the group experience isn't altered. Try to take any impatience you might have and filter it into other games or playthroughs.
Oh, this was a long time ago. After a little over two weeks, they got bothered that someone did some Hildir quests and reset the server.
That tracks. 😅
the true challenge
Where can you buy friends, anyway?
When did we start talking about Dungeons and Dragons?
In my experience D&D is something people will schedule with all seriousness.
😅
Tell that to a group of retail employees.
I would assume the schedules for their work days are pretty consistent in retail. 🤔
Depends on the company. I spent 11 years at Target and had a reliable schedule for less than half of them.
Fair, I have never worked retail, sounds like you need to get your manager in on the game
😂
It probably would have helped, yeah. But, this bit has gone on longer than I intended. Back to Valheim.
holy hell i just made it to the ash lands for the first time and im bashingmy head against a wall lol
Magic conquers all.
yeah im kinda avoiding it, one of my friends uses it and so im staying mostly melee
I have been working on learning how to speedrun to elder, efficiently.
I am on run 6 or so.
Its amazing going from the casual mindset that lets you stand in front of bear, trolls, and skelly attacks. Knowing you wont die from the next hit.
To learning to avoid every hit. From all mobs.
Finding bears and trolls.
Making a bed nearby.
Dodging repeatedly until deatv. Trying different armors/ tiers of armor. To learn what abilities do how much damage. What can be parried or blocked with different items.
Just stopping by to share how the game can offer new experiences unexpectedly.
Curious, why would you ever recommend someone doing the game solo at first?
I do believe i did just that in the message you are replying to 😄
I wish there was a roof type that was less strong and late game as Tiles, but less ugly than Thatch
I know I am requesting to know your reasoning behind it 😂
like one that could be made out of ancient bark would be cool
I think it would be extraordinary difficult and frustrating trying to learn the game solo, there's just SO much you'll probably never know or learn without other players there to help explain and give you tips
After a little over a month of playing I have 240 hours and I still get flabbergasted by things I never knew you could do
Ah, so that first would should have been why xD
Sorry about that.
Reasoning is that unless you are playing with another totally new player (Which actually happened for the person in that convo! :D) you will inevitably encounter spoilers from others you are playing with, robbing you from the joy you would have while exploring on your own. You only have one first playthrough, you should cherish it, i am willing to bet that wast majority of people here would give almost anything for being able to play again like it was a first time 🙂
Its always best to experience the full game especially a game like valheim via solo then after you can go join a server
OH mb I didnt realize I made a typo 😭 🤦
No worries xD there is a reason most of my messages have a little "(edited)" next to them xD
-# Like here 
That is the magic of starting a new game in my honest opinion 🙂 Just the pure exploration of what you can do in the game and learning new stuff everywhere you go
Huh. I guess that's a perspective I can sort of understand people coming from. I just know for myself I would have missed out on SO much quality of life stuff. Like building my first house I was chopping all the peices I didn't want with an axe until I was told that I can use the hammer and scroll wheel to destroy stuff I build 😂 Maybe I'm just not smart, but I would not have been able to enjoy the game or get very far without the players I had to help me or the million questions I have Googled. I just don't know how I would figure out how things work just by exploring, I would not think to press or use buttons that do new stuff.
I actually learned from a friend just last week you can block with almost all tools or weapons 😂 I died a lot bc I had no idea you could block without a shield. And in turn I showed my friend with hundreds of hours that you can axe straight down lol. If my lack of intuitiveness is quite shocking, bear in mind Valheim is the first and most advanced game I have ever played. I have never done anything other then steam games like REPO or Peak before now
*block without a shield I meant
I realize this may just be a skill issue 🤔
I can totally uderstand that 😄 been in a few similar situations when starting out myself.
But i still think that the joy/general bewilderment of your previous lack of knowledge that you gain by figuring stuff yourself is still awesome reward 🙂
-# And just in case, you do have tooltips enabled in menu, right? 😄
Well, maybe, but we are all different, and cant be expected to be able to do absolutely everything 
I mean, I get stats for stuff but....not sure what tools tips are? 😭 😂 I did just recently open the menu and realize there were descriptions for lore and stuff is that what you mean?
Try opening map for example, there should be tips for controlls on the bottom 🙂
Or just in general and in inventory on bottom right
It would be fun to figure stuff out by myself I'm sure, but I also would feel the need to text or tell somebody "YO I JUST REALIZED-" so I like doing it in vc with other players 😆 But I do suppose that is an indudivudal thing and many people would prefer the wonder and realization on their own ❤️
When I log on next I will definitely look for those! Thank you so much for bearing with me haha
For that i think that playing with someone who doesn't actually play Valheim could be good. 😄 You would stil be able to share your findings and excitement but they couldnt spoiler anything xD
No worries at all

you are correct
-a solo only player
With games like valheim I usually do everything blind for a dozen or so hours, and eventually start looking up things on the wiki or guides.
same with what I did
ive only looked at the wiki for ashlands items cause i wanted to see the new magic badly lol
thats also why i carry like 7 types of weapons
i think figuring out weaknesses is fun
I usually try to stay away from Wikis and what not. And it might be frustrating in the beginning to learn how to play the game solo, but the reward is also much greater when you figured it out all on your own.
Once you die like many times on a same mob, i think its not bad on looking on the wiki for their attacks and weaknesses
Like me for example, dying to a gjall like 5 times and im like "oh well time to look at valheim wiki"
i dont think its bad at all to use the wiki, play smarter not harder esp if u dont have the time
That was the only time I consulted the forum... I was dying like mad in the Mistlands... the takeaway was to roll when ticks start attaching themselves to you. That was the only hint I needed.
And yes, tips can be helpful. I don't want full walkthroughs though.
Yeah learning is fun 🙂
yeah depends on the game for me as well, i normally enjoy blind experiences and find them the most satisfying
some games though i tend to think need a walkthrough esp old ass titles from the 90s 80s
Ah... those were the days. 🙂
When I was still young and tried to figure shit out on my own.
No forums, no internet.
Just actual paper magazines.
and those thick paperbacks filled with cheat codes
It's hard to explain to someone how it was in the 80's and 90's if they've never experienced it like I did.
im from after the turn of the century so i can only try to imagine 😭
Same, can only try to imagine
I distinctly remember seeing a buddy playing Doom for the first time and the horror I felt watching him. I was disgusted!
Few years later I was hooked myself.
Doom, Marathon, Quake, Unreal...
I played them when they were brand new.
The first Deus Ex. That was a milestone.
never heard about marathon but i just looked it up and theres a new one coming this year apparently
didnt know bungie made it
nvm its already out
Getting 1 sealbreaker fragment is common in infested mines, so getting like 2-3 in a single mine is rare?
Marathon came out originally on the Mac. Then Bungie jumped ship and sold out to Microsoft. Biggest blunder by Apple ever. But not their only one when it comes to gaming.
I forgot one game that also ran better on Macs at the time than on PCs: Dark Forces. Like, the OG Dark Forces.
Macs had the fantastic resolution of 640x400 pixels, whereas PCs were limited to 320x200.
I love being hunted 🐺 🐺 while I'm in the Plains... 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Damn wolves...
Sounds like ton of skewers coming your way 😄
I could recommend spin-to-win-atgear weapon
Yeah... didnt have mine at that time. I just went to pick up some loot at a fuling village, and they showed up 😅
I guess I should always be prepared...
morning everyone, anyone in an eu server that wants to play togeter
dang, interesting
jikes yeah.
always be prepared to run atleast.. but wolfs are quick
They are 😩 Very fast bois...
they don't like player blocking tho
I just found my first ever pet rock today 
None of my other characters has it yet 🤦♀️
Do we get like a new food that uses the cooked bone serpent meat on 1.0?
click top left corner
i'm on a phone and the wifi at "work" is awful
dang, i just joined and already there is a message? this group must be popular.
nevermind, i figured it out.
thank you
new name
I couldn't wait anymore. I was patiently waiting for the ps5 launch but saw that valheim is on discount on steam, so i gave in and downloaded it to my macbook.
That's a bold strategy Cotton.
Let's see if it pays off for em.
hot take: most games are better on PC anyway
If that's a hot take, I recommend checking your cooling system 😉
true, main issue is that i dont have the space for a pc in my home since i'm not the one decorating
MacBooks are usually pretty powerful, but yes you do need a bigger monitor and external keyboard and mouse for gaming.
basically full stationary
Well, it's just one cable. 😉
does someone want to join game? join voice Channel Greydwarfs nest
that's why i prefer iMacs over macbooks
I own a macbook and I hate it with a passion. I mean I do like that it's very powerful and runs Valheim well, but I have to pay a cloud streaming service to use steam, so.......if you wanna game, don't get a mac, I'm begging you
It's funny though, it seems I find iMac lovers really everywhere... But Apple doesn't like them.
Uhm... you don't need that.
You just play Valheim.
And Valheim is both on Steam and App Store. And none of them need a "Cloud Streaming Service".
I think he may be talking about playing windows games on Mac
Yeah.
But I have not done that yet cause I just play valheim LOL
Yes this I play more then just Valheim lol
Well, that's not Valheim's problem. 😉
Well I used to I haven't touched another game lately 😂 😭
My mac runs valheim very well, i just downloaded steam and valheim and just plugged an external monitor and started playing. it gets a bit hot to be fair but nothing critical
you can either a) dual boot it or b) virtualization. Both are fine
Did I say it was? I was referring to a mac issue
we do have #mac-bugs-discussion
oof. see, you gotta he sneaky, i built her an “office” in the guest room, and somehow a gaming pc just had better value than other cpu’s i saw for sale
Valheim is native, btw and runs even on a six year old MacBook Air M1.
Not well... but it works. 😉
Um......not really. It's not a problem with the games its that's mac isn't made with gaming in mind, you'd be surprised
not sure i agree, my 5k, 27' is fine
I know I'm not looking for a solution I was having a conversation mb
the pc is coming and there is already a "permission" for it😂 the question now is just when, the Finnish job market is in a crisis now so i need to prepare for the worst case scenario.
You'd be surprised to realize that Macs are VERY capable of gaming. It's just that Apple hates being associated with gamers with a passion.
And sorry, @near furnace. I stop now.
you stop now?
i did a LOT of laptop gaming though i feel your pain, lived in lots of tiny apartments in cities with no room for a pc, forced to play low graphics games on low settings and still suffer bad framerates. it’s so glorious running full ultra whatever graphics now. idk how tough valheim is to other games but im maxed everything and only very rarely get frame rate issues, weirdly it happens early near spawn in some worlds and i have no idea why
btw, i'm pretty sure Valheim can run on a potato powered on hamster wheels
Not really.
The lighting effects are very costly.
They can GAME fine, you just can't run steam on them natively.....but nvm this isn't a valheim convo
as long as it has a descent CPU
yeah i macbook’d lots of games, usually got crap from anyone for using a mac to game but i also used it for work stuff doing video and sound editing
Which is not true.
@granite grail There is a Mac client for Steam. A shoddy one, but there is.
you CAN run steam natively, that's what dual boot is for
Wow... so much disinformation.
valheim is on:
Steam (apple, linux, windows)
Xbox store (windows and Xbox console)
iOS (Appstore)
secondly both steam and valheim runs on MacOSX, natively
Valheim on EPIC when? 😭
I got a iMac myself to work and QA valheim
BTW, dual boot only works on older Intel Macs. And trust me... you don't want to use those anymore. Any Mac built in the last six years blows these out of the water (unless it was a Mac Pro).
Hey Smiffe! Just a quick question, if you know (idk), were spawn rates tampered with at all in the past two patches?
Ye that's the thing I have a much newer model
nothing of the sorts have been changed
why?
Oh okay, just ruling something out! (Modded game, I won't bother y'all with details lol)
I'd wager... and I like some light modding myself... that modding is responsible for, say, 90% of all issues in Valheim.
ah, bummer, haven't used it in a while
personally i prefer VMs, even before Silicon i preffered VMs most of the time
rebooting sucks
so you can macOS + Linux dual boot, but not macOS + windows... ya, they really hate gamers
reason according to gpt: if Microsoft and Apple ever cooperate on drivers and boot support, native Windows dual-boot could theoretically exist. But right now neither company seems interested.
Whatever is comfortable and responsive I'd think. I still use an old Logitech controller that uses a cord but it is functional.
If valheim had a brawler spinoff, I'd use it for that too.
how is building with a controller? thats one element i cant imagine is nearly as good
The snap feature helps. Usually my outpost buildings are raised houses. Placing half walls or beams under foundation flooring isn't that difficult.
how do you rotate pieces instead of scrolling a mouse wheel?
I forgot exactly which one some I'm mainly KB and mouse, but you have to hold a trigger button then move the right stick.
I think it's one of the left ones. Give it a go.
is hare hunting for food a thing? It's a it of the hastle to hunt hares in the mistlands
also stuff like selecting hotbar items… i dont know i want to be scrolling across a bar to find my shield or something in the heat of combat and suddenly i try to block with a hoe lol. my old man arms like sitting back with a controller over hangin over a desk though, idk maybe ill buy a super cheap controller to try it.
although, HP bonuses look juicy
i like to wisp torch a big area and sneak out with wood bolts and a xbow, they’re the one meat i find i have to actually actively make an effort to get
unless you’re magic, then just fireball in the general direction of the cute noises and you’ll get em
i was using lox meat, than one was easy to get, also loxes stay in groups
not sure i want to switch to hares
they are fast, small and doesn't stay in groups
well, get them when convenient, consider them a nice little bonus if you don’t find it fun to hunt them then don’t. I like making specific hunting or gathering trips, it thrills me for whatever reason.
thats why i like xbow hunting them
I for real just go out and sneak with a crossbow in my de-fogged field
also though consider hunting hares for meat platter, 80 health and it uses that lox meat you already have, and seeker meat which its impossible to not have stacks of
Running around like madman with knife and wearing Fenris armor and drinking Ratatosk is valid tactic too.

i think the game forces me to hunt them at this point of the game, i'll have to, dang...
Ah, the good ol "Runny stabby" tactic 
there's no other option for good hp buffs
Meat platter?
-# Ah right it required hare meat too..
lox pie - sure, that's one, wolf skewer is hard to farm, and the other food buffs are for +50 hp only
Serpent stew still stays as valid option.
i'm not going to a sea hunt, no no no
Try ooze bombs. AoE and they kill hares quickly.
with a trench around it, a plains base should be pretty safe right?
I am thinking of settling there
I think they might not be in that state yet, hence ooze bombs are great option before that.
anyone have any idea if they ever plan to fix the multiplayer experience?
not really, they miss a lot. You can just find a spot where hares tend to run through and throw down some sharp spikes or pufferfish there
Do that around your sap & mistland crops farm and you shouldn't have any trouble keeping yourself supplied
It’s not an mmo lol. It’s active
you can see on SteamDB charts
The thing I hate about valheim is the carry limit. You could either have inventory space or weight limit but not both
Is there a mod that removes carry limit
Because it's been annoying me so much
Effectively yea
It is worth noting they added a potion for carry weight and moder power increases carry weight too
theres a hand carts mod, you can pull them behind you they hold a lot 🙃
cart is life
idk how, especially as a no portal enjoyer, but i loaded a cart onto a karve for the first time this run. it's incredible. basically an early longboat life hack
its completely changing my pre-swamp gameplay
my elder spawn was absolutely insane, like past multiple swamp and plain continents, so with a cart it turned into a long gathering expedition, stacks of blueberries and bear meat and thistle in my boat. no time wasted
goml: #screenshots message
now im packing for my swamp base, and i can bring SO MUCH, it's so exciting
The limit is not artifical, it forces you to plan ahead.
LOL WHAT. is that a single cargo box from a crate???
do the cargo boxes stay on?? whast the physics of them?
build a ramp, park the boat under it, destroy the cart, push the box on the boat, ggez
right thats how i get a cart on a karve, but the boxes dont topple off the raft? they stick to it or what?
you'd likely lose it on a raft obviously though
That's a really cool trick.
oh ok so more funny than practical. wait, but could i load like.... LOTS of cargo boxes on a longboat?
in theory
I would say its most practical for a karve, or short raft trips on calm shallow waters, maybe your initial relocation pre-portal
ill have to try it sometime, my current perma base is maybe not final base, ill try it when i do pre-mistlands move cuz i like to life right by mist
your'e doing no portals currently?
for the past... 4 or 5 runs? after CTA beta. i did standard everything to test CTA
i usually break and allow stone portals as normal portals when i hit ashlands, sometimes make my perma base there, depends
lol my boat is so front heavy right now goign to swamps the rudder is almost out of the water
Just stay out of the ocean at night or when its raining. You may have extra problems if you don't.
hehe, i was thinking about that.. the durability difference of cart and boat, and if it gets toppled off
im also never ever bow this run not even vs snakes, i carry 3 spears and jump off the boat to pick them back up to fight snakes lol
i either dont remember how hard they bite or their bite increases on hard because they bit me a couple times it was about 3/4 my hp bar
On hard every enemy does 150% of their normal dmg 🙂
right, and i ASSUMED that counted snakes too but wasnt sure
it sure felt like it did
hehe, just had an interesting swamp landing, abomination + wraith + 2 star/1star leeches
i was sneaking hoping to try out backstabbign the abom with abyssal dagger but then it found my boat with the cart on it and iwas likeoh NOYOUDONT then everything saw me
why did you land at night???
abandoned shack thing actually XD. i had a good sleep next door at a BF fort and had rested going i was ok
What is the best weapon for the plains?
Whichever one you, personally, enjoy using the most.
Bows or a weapon with a long range like a spear
right tool for the job situation, "best" vs lox imo is atgier or spear, best vs goblins sword or battleaxe so you can cleave multiples at camps
Then that's your answer!
Draugr Fang + Needle Arrows for the first part.
Wolf spear until you have blackmetal atgeir for the second.
And is frostner effective against those goblins?
🤢
Thanks!
Yes, it is 🙂
-# And dont mind Sev in Frostner conversations 😄
This fine person went from self-recommending great weapons and flipped to Frostner... 😭😭
The duality of humankind 😭
I just grafted it and it looks very powerfull…
Looks can be deceiving.
It is a very good wall decoration due to its looks. I will give you that.
further greyling launch = better weapon
I see through the lies of the Necki.
But i dont really like close combat now cause its becomes harder and i am still shit in the game haha
Frostner is too good imo
I just crafted a black metal atgeir and soon after a fuling army decided they want to help me test it.
The thing is strong as hell, I love it
Atgeirs are your path!
I agree, I would nerf or remove spirit from mountain weapons, and make it a gem upgrade in the ashlands instead
Thanks my master, i will set the sails to conquer the great land of the plains
⛵
lol. more clearly, frostner is a very SAFE weapon becasue of the slow. but also weak and lame.
Frostner will be punished then…. 100 years of hanging on the wall
atgiers permastun lox, battleaxes staggers any goblin it touches, thats all i gotta say. stagger and aoe ftw
This is the way.
Yeah, I refuse to use it. My go to weapon for the mountains is crystal battleaxe
Guys imagine if the ending of valheim is that it was all just a dream
they wouldnt do that to us
Or would they…
"there, this is a nice little swamp base and just before night time"
(the ground is shaking)
lol game is trying to end my character so hard

or just making sure i remembered troll hide for a bark spear
i did, but, it was nice of it to check
yeah I've had some crazy things happen to me in game that made me think I was being watched 😆 👌
ahhhhhh gal dangit ok the one thing i forgot... i brought mats for fermenter but no the brewer station... at least there's bf close by i gotta make an ore run. otherwise did good packing this time
This new island I am exploring is looking real good
Lots of plains, lots of villages to pillage, some tar pits, a bit of meadows to live peacefuly, a swamp with surtlings and 2 crypts, a bit of black forest, mountains
I think I should settle here , it's not far from the mistlands
sounds perfect
i found a slightly worse version of that, very little space cuz its next to this giant mountain thats certainly moder's mountain so it makes up for it
that's cool too
I think Plains is gonna become my favourite stage of the game, with all the new building blocks, crafting stations and food. Really love the biome itself too, it's just so beautiful
I think I will dig a big trench that will have both meadows and plains inside
Frostner can help with crowd control as it slows and knocks enemies further from you. Between knocking enemies switch targets while you whack them.
-# Little late for the party but who cares. 
Funny I've never used atgiers 😂 I love my silver sword too much, even tho I'm in mistlands I refuse to give it up.....
ITs why my wife loves Frostner all the way into the Ashlands.
Since she never uses shields.
You don't need to give up the sword if you take atgeir as another option.

It's really nice to carry both
I carry the lightning staff and my sword xD
himmenlifr-something-or-another
it works good for knock backs like the atgiers do
That is a lightning atgeir 😄
-# Lightning staff will come later 😉
gah. just made a highlight reel of the spicy swamp opening but its 150mb rip bozo no nitro
oh mybad idk whey i replied to u henneth with that. anyway. made a shorter video the first crypt was as intersting as the landing lol.
you're good 😂
today i found out that the insects hate vegetables that made me thonk 
What insects
@hallow totem yo
can I block growths respawning at the tar pits with base structures?
Yes.
Part of how you use tar pit depth in your building to get around the normal dig limits.
interesting
The one in mistland
They attack your veggies?
They do i was sitting in my mistland base and saw how they land on the fields and attacking the veggies
It's just regular enemy NPC behaviour
Yeah, they do that when you don't give them you to attack instead.
They all attack base structures and planted food etc
When you don't give them you to attack instead.
Yeah
Hard to stop fliers. You even have to deal with them in the Meadows, even after you beat the Queen, nearly every night.
Unless you always sleep, of course. 😄
Am I gonna lose game data if I play during the Steam Downtime? I've not seen this before.
I'm usualy at work. 🤣
No. It will save to your system until cloud is available again. Just give it time to sync when you do stop playing.
syncing save files... yikes
so if i play offline on two different machines, will i get a conflict?
No idea. I always have internet access when I play.
Even when I am travelling and play on my laptop instead.
i play on single machine, but theoretically that could happen
i did some cloud syncing programming, yikes, it was a mess
I have not had problems switching back and forth, but like I said, I always have internet when I am playing.
its a good practice to always have the internet on when it comes to syncing
Yep. I found that to be true syncing between my in house computers. So its a habit I adopted about two decades ago.
i started using cloud services in like 2011
first versions were quite bad, it got better in time, but i still "think" like they have these problems
I'm not sure when I started syncing files between computers in my house. All I can say for sure is that it was some time after 2005.
As for syncing the Steam cloud, I didn't start using that until some time after I started playing Valheim. So less than 5 years.
i did some coding for database syncing, we got major problem when Apple's native "All in All out" relationships didn't sync. So we ditched it and implemented our own syncing service, instead of Apple's
Bloody hell. I'm gonna have to tear this whole thing down, and rebuild it about two levels higher.
Is it actually useful to launch yourself from a catapult? Or is that just for the memes?
Join Voice Channel Greydwarfs Nest if want to play together from the early beginning
I swear the god's side with the Hares. I like to think I'm a good shot but I can't hit them for the life of me 😂
yes.
i know from Dark Souls
as i said yikes, dynamic and binary files ain't meant to be syncable
you're good, thanks for the info
oh! also put around random spike walls! they love to run into them
I like to poison them by laying down puffer fish where they like to run.
Spikes do also work, so do the metal traps.
Build a few spike barricades around where you tap roots. Every time I collect sap several hares impale themselves for me
sup i just bought the game
Welcome. Hope you have a blast
thanks man i hope i will
Thats the kind of area I like to put down the puffer fish. I use the traps and spikes in more open areas, like near towers, in valleys they like to run through, etc... Set up a few such areas and you usually end up with plenty of Hare mats.
tfw you still need tons of iron and stuff
you need Iron throughout the whole game once you reach swamp, all the way to and including in Ashlands
it's always useful and it's never wrong to stop what you're doing to mine iron
Yep. Its hard to have too much iron, really easy to not have enough. At least I like gathering iron in the Mistlands.
Deep north out yet
Obviously not. No word about its release either.
You can always just look in the #news channel to see whats going on.
honestly id ratrher wait longer for a massive 1.0 update then like
get just a new biome
Thats pretty much what they are doing. It is the final biome, and they may add some minor stuff, such as more creatures to earlier biomes, but its the end of the game. After we will get fixes and the like, but no more biomes or major content.
thats what im talkin about yeah
Im sure they'll continue with minor updates maybe performance issues or bug fixes, but in terms of major content yeah Deep North being the last
Why do bears look so scary
They are HUGE?
Don't know about you but I'd personally shit my pants if I saw a bear
Off topic but I wish we domestic bears irl
Imagine how cute a cat sized bear will be like 😍
Some people do. I think they are nuts, but they do it with a wide range of wild life.
No they didn't we don't have any bears that are suitable as pets right now
We humans are nuts in general
But it works out lol
Not for wide keeping, no. But there are a hand full of people who do crazy things like that. Bears, tigers, and more, I am sure. Monkeys. We usually don't hear about them until they get killed by their "pets".
Im sure there is Joe Exotic somewhere with bears
There is.
I think that's more taming than domestication.
Gotta start some where.
Nah, any animal if raised from young age can be domesticated
I see a LOT of racoons and possums and squirrels.
There are certain instincts but those can be overridden
I doubt that we'd be able to domesticate a bear at any point in the future.
Squirrels are nuts lol
IDK, they seem pretty calm and gentle. Until their not.
I would think they would chew on everything, so would need to be caged the vast majority of the time. Then again, I had the same issue when I owned parrots.
Are we gonna ignore that one video with a bear with rabies?
Don't recall seeing it. But you cannot trust anything with rabies. Not even your own dog. Eventually.
It's just a virus
All that aside, I would not be unhappy if they made bears tamable.
I would imagine that nobody would try to because it just wouldn't be worthwile. They breed very slowly (domestication requires selective breeding over generations), they ride solo a lot as opposed to something like wolves which were domesticated to dogs, and can be extremely dangerous.
But the ones we will likely run into in The North.
Whats the dev command to remove the mist in a specific area?
whats the taming time with two people using animal whispers potions?
it stacks. unless they patched it
I think it stacks
1 person halves it to 15m
First I heard of that.
I'll have my wife hang out with me the next time I am taming, and find out.
So does it stack 3 ways?
400% speed said blobycake
Does it stack 10 times ? I don't have that many friends to verify .. or wives for that matter
So at 10 ppl it should be like seconds
They need to add horses back in the old days horses was used alot
soooooo riding a lox through a forest is a very fun way to grind corewood
Use them in a tree farm
forcedelete (distance) MistArea
Very nice
Is the 1.0 release gonna change anything about the early game play, I'm 6 hours in i restarted the game once after 6 hours and I'm now in black forest should I continue or should I wait?
Is there any way Updates prior that changed something that could affect the older areas instead of only affecting the newest ones
Already answered both of these...
you can play and get familiar with the game again before 1.0 launches, no telling when 1.0 will happen, could be next week, could be end of year, so you might as well just play and get familiar with the game again. The game is very replayable
Lol sorry to move you around
Will Deep North progression follow after Ashlands or equal to? I would figure that since their location is specific to an opposing cardinal direction, that it would allow the player to choose which they would like to do first, and then tackle the other one after, each biome providing unique rewards.
No one knows 🤷

That’s wrong
No mead 30mins, 1 mead drinkers 15mins, 2=7.5mins, 3=3.75mins and 4 it’s under 2 minutes
been a while since i have been in the discord... is there any plans for major content updates after deep north or should we expect this to be last major content/biome release?
Last biome and major content release.
Only bug fixes and small additions will be released after I think
i figured that would be the case. still aiming for second half of 2026 for release?
No one knows 😂
😔 brutal, i need the update badly lmao
thanks for the info
The game runs surprisingly well on Steam Deck
LFM started a new world with some mods let me know if anyone wanna join!
This is gonna get buried pretty fast here, you should post it to #1024264966712340510
ok ty
Huh, thats the first time in a long time that I have had Valheim crash.
Is there any way of farming/attracting deathsquitos? I am always running out of arrows...
Not that I am aware of, I would try using Ratatosk Mead to speedily scan plains biomes.
alrt thanks
Wiping out villages gives the most needles from their chests. When they have chests. Otherwise just keep running the plains as Omni suggested.
They will ALWAYS attack me, when I'm frolicking about in the Plains, so I'm never out of arrows. That said, I'm not a main bow user.
A guaranteed way to get deathsquitos is to go into the plains without a root harnesk or any stronger armour. Then turn around…right behind you there will be one…
Was there always crows in the black forest or was that recently added? I swear I can't remember hearing crows
Crows have always been the seagulls of the BF.
Wow, ive never noticed them
The new ghost raid is very cool. I was tabbed out talking to a friend when the ambience track changed to the crypt one which caused me to tab in out of confusion. Then my base was enveloped in fog like Silent Hill.
The highest vanilla occurring mountain in valheim is 490+ units high, altitude based snow(snow that falls on buildings independent of biome) starts at 90 units, sea level is at 30 leaving a 60 unit vertical delta for maps, that's extremely limiting in terms of world building since it can't be changed even with mods. Is there any incoming change (since 1.0 will have dynamic snow) that addresses this limitation?
Was is said on some podcast or post? Or is it just speculation
🇳 🇴
Already made a suggestion for it but people don't want freedom even if it is optional
?
"I don't want so why would you?"
for the benefit of doubt here.
it's a language barrier @mossy gazelle
he asked about snow, and you answered like you knew the answer
I don't mind it to be customizable only with mods but having it be hard-coded and being purely aesthetic I want to be able to change ir
Obviously they need to expand the skybox then add a blackmetal helicopter that drops egg bombs
Dragon egg bombs 😉
The way people mock simple things and can't take anything with a little seriousness looks so sad
I could alaways ask my programmer who made the entire system.
but then the answer would force us not to be able to change it if we aren't happy with it
hence I can't give the answer
but take all that "mov" said as a blant lie
since afaik, we haven't said anything about deep north features and actual numbers and such 😄
Some things should just be the way they are.
Having everything be completely customizable leads to a game being completely unrecognizable.
Yes, unless I have proof I won't trust anything without sources, don't worry
yeah
people like to lie and troll for some wierd reason
a mod to change a hard number can't be to hard to do tho
I mean, a snow texture that applies from 82 units to 90, without any status effects from cold I don't think is such a inpactfull change
don't think that changed 🤔
I just thought that since you guys are messing with snow maybe there's a chance
not afaik
