[gray sand]

Full access to chest inventory for stuff...
Eh. My personal opinion on it is "if they added it, I would not mind. But people really make it sound SO HORRIBLE and are ridiculously overdramatic about not having it when it is not in any capacity a deal. At all. Not a big deal, not a small, not a deal whatsoever."

It's really just... 🤷‍♂️ one way or the other.

[bronze sierra]

Not at all. My issue in particular is with the lack of organizational tools i've seen in EA games that have much less time invested into them.

Sorry, OTHER early access games.

[chrome badge]

Such as?

[bronze sierra]

Soulmask, for one. Setting aside its NPC functions as we have no real NPC allies... It allows for not only naming boxes, but setting them to allow item types (which o know requires a framework Valheim doesn't have) and setting specific items to be allowed-or not.

[chrome badge]

A sign on a chest does both of these things for you, name the chest and assign it the item.

Hold e, stored, moving on.

[gray sand]

🤔 If you use the "stack similar" button Valheim already has, it allows only those specific items. 🤔

[bronze sierra]

A workaround isn't equivalent to a mechanic that's built in.

[chrome badge]

It's not a workaround at all, it's just naming something with a sign.

If I make a chest called bones, and put bones in there, I can quickly store bones in there from that point on.

[bronze sierra]

It absolutely is a workaround. The only difference is... the mechanic vs not having said mechanic.

[chrome badge]

You're not working around anything though, you're not using this term correctly.

It's functioning as intended.

[bronze sierra]

"A method of overcoming a problem or LIMITATION"-- From Oxford's dictionary

[chrome badge]

There is no limitation involved in this process.

It's in fact streamlined.

[gray sand]

BATMAN. HAS. NO LIMITS.

😏

[bronze sierra]

Now I know you're just white knighting. Yeah, not talking to you anymore lmao

[gray sand]

Excuse me? I am Dark Knighting 😛

[chrome badge]

I'm really not, it's arguably better this way as well. You can recognize what any storage is from a distance, and input items without more than a single key press.

No hovering to check names, or assigning item types, it's simplistic and intuitive.

[dim trellis]

i love hold e in valheim

best from any game

[glad dome]

who do yall think are better stone throwers, grey dwarves or trolls?

[granite grail]

Grey dwarves. Don't think a troll has ever hit me with his boulders significantly

[worn heath]

6’6 Chad needs foid worker to do slave work in our Valheim world

[somber umbra]

^

will send feet pics

[abstract warren]

Why did I think dvergr gate will be eitr spark resistant lol...

[river pebble]

[final bloom]

Just dig a hole, put down machine, cover with marble

[abstract warren]

Nah I just put an iron gate instead

Gotta have one somewhere right? 🙃

[granite grail]

All my advanced buildings have iron gates. I love them so much 🤣

[midnight roost]

Can you grow pine and normal trees in the plains?

[dim trellis]

im trying to build a giant tower to put it on top of, and my stuff inside the tower, do u know if that will work

[dim trellis]

yes but its so common in plains there is a boulder 1 foot under dirt and that prevents growing on top of it

[midnight roost]

Hmmm, okay, so it's better to just have tree farms in their respective biomes?

[dim trellis]

nah a plains base is awesome, just, if it doesnt grow in the ground, thats why

and not the biome fault

[midnight roost]

Same for farming?

[dim trellis]

yes everything plains and before can grow in plains in my experience

[midnight roost]

Is it possible to clear out the rocks and have a good area for farming?

[dim trellis]

it will make a hole and alot of time but yes

just plant first 1 or 2 and test the area

[midnight roost]

Yeah but you can fill it back up and flatten it

[dim trellis]

yeah thats part of the time

[final bloom]

You mean having it on top of the tower in order to have it spark off and ur stuff inside so the sparks can’t hit ur base?

[dim trellis]

yeah

also to look cool

[final bloom]

Cool have a great time. Get a whole bunch of it and take some screenshots at nighttime

The sparks don’t bounce so as long as they don’t have a direct path to anything important, it can just sit wherever. However that’s a very boring way to enjoy some otherwise fun mechanics of how the sparks fly everywhere.

[dim trellis]

what else can they do besides make me want to repair or uh ?

[final bloom]

Use them as hand grenades against greylings

[dim trellis]

what the

[dim trellis]

that doesnt affect where the building is placed though right?

[olive portal]

any mods here?

[final bloom]

Not sure what you mean sorry

[tacit crystal]

Send DM to @dusky pivot to reach out Moderator team.

[dim trellis]

unless you want to add valheim features 😄 (mods) jk

[abstract warren]

Wait a minute

I actually lose a shit load of skill if I keep dying

Omg........

Holy crap

[balmy seal]

Apparently no skill drain doesn't do anything

[abstract warren]

Dude

My polearm skill was above 50

Now is fkin 18

Ashlands fked me up

[balmy seal]

[abstract warren]

I gotta try to reclaim my mage gear from that charred fortress and take a break from trying to solo that shit omg

[dim trellis]

yeah 5% adds up over time heheh

[abstract warren]

Maybe I should take inspiration from Ashlands Dvergr

They're so happy to die

I just saw them now running into the lava lmao

[dim trellis]

lmao

i used to try to save dvergers

[abstract warren]

Same lol

[prime moth]

no skill drain if you reatart when you die 🧠

[abstract warren]

Lol I just directly found a second Yagluth

[idle eagle]

I am having a hard time trying to build a castle on the mountain. Too much terrain work and require a lot of space.

It's absurd, like building a castle on top of mount Everest

[gray sand]

Pro-tip: Don't die. 😉

[prime moth]

man the mountain hates me

golem golem cold wind blows

[gray sand]

Imagine they add a golem-based raid 😮

[prime moth]

evil

[abstract warren]

That could so easily destroy a whole base

[gray sand]

As opposed to all the other raids that are incapable of destruction? 😄

[prime moth]

man the golems have such a long wind up on their big slam attack

[lunar sapphire]

Ok Satan, calm down

[gray sand]

😭

[abstract warren]

Yeah. Lol. It could just demolish everything in seconds

Other raids are 10x easier than that would be

[prime moth]

163 silver secured 😎

[abstract warren]

Took me some time to realise the charred fortesses got fkin ballistas 👀

[prime moth]

they're more for decoration lol

[rain flare]

I still want a sea serpent based raid

[abstract warren]

Does Bonemass really do much for parries?

Or mostly just regular block?

[abstract warren]

Err

[midnight roost]

parries worked well for me

[abstract warren]

They kinda do shoot though

[abstract warren]

I mean because parry doesn't really cost much stamina right..?

[rain flare]

Bonemass improves your resistance for your player / armor

Blocking armor is a separate calculation that is done before player armor is taken into account

[abstract warren]

Yes that's why I wonder more specifically about parry

[rain flare]

So essentially, yes
Anything that makes it through your block armor will be further mitigated by Bonemass

[abstract warren]

Yes but if I do manage to parry I barely take any damage anyway

[gray sand]

Which is.. almost nothing.
So Bonemass is primarily for face-tanking.

[abstract warren]

It's more about when I don't and they fully hit

[rain flare]

Remember, parry is just a block armor multiplier - Bonemass does Jack for block armor

But it will improve player armor

[abstract warren]

Yeah

By 25%

Which is nice

But I figured I might as well just take Yagluth

[gray sand]

If you're using Bonemass, you're doing it so you don't have to block. You can focus all your stamina on attacking and just face-tank the damage.

[abstract warren]

For better damage output

[rain flare]

A better question is whether it is worth using Bonemass if you plan on perfect parrying every-single attack

[gray sand]

Which is better damage output 😉

[abstract warren]

Yeah

But if I'm facing an actual challenge... Like a Morgen or something

[gray sand]

Bonemass is a very offensive power.

[abstract warren]

I just died to a 1star Morgen from 2 hits earlier 🥲

[silk token]

anyone know if since it's -100% stamina cost on blocking, does it pause stamina regeneration still?

[gray sand]

For like... BattleYack users who don't parry with their weapon's insane defensive stats.
Bonemass is great.

😏

[rain flare]

Stamina regen is always paused if you use stamina - so blocking or attacking will still pause it

[silk token]

ive actually never used the the new power yet because.. zero stamina parry

[abstract warren]

What's a BattleYack

[gray sand]

Axe

[abstract warren]

Oh

[gray sand]

But Yacko loves them so...

[silk token]

right but it's -100% stamina so you're NOT using stamina, so its not paused?

[gray sand]

Like how things are Subjecthive.
Because Subject loves bees.

[rain flare]

-100% stamina used and still doing a check for stamina being used is not the same thing

Last I checked it paused my stamina regen 🤔

[silk token]

i actually do parry when relavant if its an archer or i dont want to kill the thin gjust yet

[gray sand]

And if you're bad at combat, it's a Scale issue.
Because Scales has beaten every boss naked with no food.

[abstract warren]

Also bows feel kinda obsolete after getting crossbows

[gray sand]

Weirdest take ever.

[abstract warren]

Idk I didn't bother crafting Spinesnap it just seems much less powerful than Arbalest

[rain flare]

Draugr: takes a potshot
Yacko: wait your turn 🛡

[silk token]

i mean yeah literally!

[gray sand]

Bows turn into absolute machine guns around 70+ skill and arbalest has nothing to compete with their damage output.

[silk token]

or like i'll parry a ranged, and while htey're staggered go up to them bringing the melee with me so we're all one big happy family for my swing

[gray sand]

Like @abstract warren go into a test world and devcommand yourself max bow skill so you can experience how ridiculous they are.

[abstract warren]

Fml my bow skill went down to 5 now... After getting obliterated in Asslands

This place is ASS lol

[gray sand]

Not really.

[abstract warren]

Ok

[rain flare]

It’s like the magic discussion yacko and I had earlier

Magic and archery both take lots of skill levels to be good

But when you get there it’s godly gameplay 🥳

[gray sand]

It's just boring now because they nerfed it into the ground.

[rain flare]

[gray sand]

Fireball staff with 0 skill still does more than any melee option 😁

[abstract warren]

Yeah I remember seeing Assmongol play and his bow was drawing so fast that's when I realised it can be like that

[silk token]

but anyway so bonemass pauses stamina while blocking but gives 5 stamina? so almost as good as just normal parry without a forsaken power

[abstract warren]

Btw does the archery target give the same xp no matter when I hit?

[rain flare]

True - but it’s not as good as when you have higher skill

Blood magic is normally the one that gets a really nice skill based powerspike

[silk token]

oh bonemass would be super good for grinding block, tower shield and skeleton raid and you can block forever

[abstract warren]

Or does the score actually mean something and not just for show

[rain flare]

Never tested with the target

[gray sand]

Elder with Serpent or BM tower shields and just plains level SSS food is still fastest iirc.

[gray sand]

I generally don't even touch blood because fireball and wilds do everything.
I don't need a bubble when nothing ever hits me due to being dead.

[tacit crystal]

Target grants less xp but arrows are retrievable.

[abstract warren]

Right

[abstract warren]

?

[gray sand]

@abstract warren

Xp is always static per hit. Always.
Target grants less static amount.

[abstract warren]

Just got my revenge and it was sweet

[dim python]

the boars are back in town

i killed on of the boars 😢

[abstract warren]

How tf do you get into a charred fortress

I tried with stairs and got fked

[nocturne wolf]

you’re intended to break the walls with a battering ram but getting over the walls can work too

[abstract warren]

Didn't find any flametal for that

Probably the easiest place to find is in the damn fortress

[dim python]

is it possible to put boars on a boat

[pliant hatch]

No. The easiest place to find flamemetal are the ||Dvergr outposts||

[tacit crystal]

Yes, but they can jump over the edge easily if alerted.

[dim python]

you can't put them in a kitty cage for boars? damb

[tacit crystal]

Since you cannot build on boat, no.

[dim python]

they can grill chicken skewers in space but not valheim boats 😩

[pliant hatch]

You could of course build an enclosed (including roof) pen where you tamed the boars, put a portal there and at your home base and simply teleport back and forth once in a while to breed / butcher them.

The key in a survival game is to adapt to the circumstances. Not to complain about something that's not there, no matter how logical it is.

[dim python]

i get it i just wanted to yap

if you're replying to me

[tacit crystal]

He is.

It's possible to move them on boat but you need to ensure they don't get alerted and not go on full sails, since boat can "hit" them, hurting them thus alerting them too.

[pliant hatch]

Or you simply wait for the late game boat. That one got high boards, making it a much better ship to transport animals as the other 2,5.

[tacit crystal]

0,5 boat.

[craggy tangle]

get a harpoon and rope them to you that way they cant run off.

[dim python]

i'll wait for late game boat even though boars aren't late game meta

[craggy tangle]

cost stm to manage but would work

[dim python]

that hurts the boar right 🤭 💔

[craggy tangle]

a little but in my exp harpoon is never fatle

deadly

words.....

i also never ship boar. i just make a pen somewhere near by and manage them while they are worth it.

[dim python]

if you pet a scared boar does it calm down

[craggy tangle]

no

its a time factor. as long as there is no danger they calm eventualy

[silk token]

calming boars with pets when? petting prevents them from going REEEEEEEEEEEE for 10 in game minutes when?

i might actually tame a boar again if they change that lol

[pliant hatch]

Never.

[silk token]

(butterfly flutters by)
pet boar: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

[balmy seal]

I always thought the boar’s attack sounds like a sneeze

[dim python]

cocaine bear butterfly scene

(early in the movie after mauling two hikers the cocaine bear admires a blue butterfly)

[silk token]

lol i just obliterated a serpent with a spear from the side of my boat. stupid bows who needs them

[abstract warren]

Sunken crypts are still a much better source for surtling cores than surtlings eh

Bastards mostly give coal

[lone rampart]

Sunken crypts don’t have surtling cores though

[craggy tangle]

you mean the crypts in the blackforest?

[abstract warren]

Sorry I meant Burial Chambers

[craggy tangle]

forest crypts have surtling cores. not the sunken crypts in swamps.

[abstract warren]

Yeah

I thought the geysers with the surtlings will become the next best source for them

Apparently not so much

[craggy tangle]

nope. they are a chance for drop sadly. they are more a last option if you cant find anymore.... but youd be spaming cores if thats the case

[abstract warren]

Yeah

It's always fun when the game takes you back to these places that were so scary and difficult and now you just run through them and blam blam blam 🔥🔥

[merry pebble]

If you find few near each other they become very good stable source of them 😄
-# And i would argue that even singular geysir Is quite good source, since it can't run out 🙂

[craggy tangle]

if you get lucky and find 3 or 4 near each other then yea. its a high prob your gonna grab a few every time you check them. but if its just one by its self its not worth really.

i almost always end up with so meny cores from the forest that i never bother with the surtlings from the swamps unless i want the trophy drop.

[abstract warren]

I'm saying this because I just went to my portal I set next to 4 of those geysers

From one run I got just one or two cores

That's at least 10 surtlings

[merry pebble]

You can just leave portal somewhat near (not near enough to prevent spawns tho) and check every 5 minutes or longer 😄

[merry pebble]

To be honest, that is just unlucky 😄 they have 50% chance of droping and you should be getting 12 surtlings every 5 minutes

[abstract warren]

I guess I just have more luck with burial chambers

Just went to another black forest and easily found 3 chambers, came out with 18 cores

[craggy tangle]

i get lots from forest chambers... after 4 or 5 clear you tend to have more then enough for the early game. then just 4 or 5 more and yu shouldnt need any more for the whole game. at least in my exp.

after 10-12 crypts you should have a small stock

[merry pebble]

Oh burial chambers will 100% yield more cores in short run 😄 but the geysirs will over time produce infinite ammount, so if you just periodically check them you will get a ton of them quite quickly

[eternal blade]

and coal. Do not forget coal. You'll run through several thousands during one playthrough.

[craggy tangle]

the kiln always be burnin

[abstract warren]

I've too much coal and wood at this point lol

[paper marsh]

I'm a fan of having firetick on and not needing a kiln

[merry pebble]

I would burn my house down 😄 not gonna do that

[paper marsh]

I surprisingly haven't had that issue, and I'm not overly careful

[craggy tangle]

im good on that... fire rain can stay in the ash lands

[abstract warren]

Wym

[paper marsh]

It is funny how Yag constantly lights himself (and you) on fire by burning the grass

Does a lot more damage to you than to him tho

[merry pebble]

If you enable fire hazsrd modifier then you can buurn piles of wood for coal 🙂

[paper marsh]

With firetick on you can destroy the 50 wood buildable stacks with fire damage (like a torch) to instantly turn it into coal

[abstract warren]

Oh cool

[craggy tangle]

he dont take his own damage

if yag hits the ground with his fire fist he hurt you not himself. same with metor even if they hit him they dont hurt him.

[merry pebble]

Its technically not his own dmg when something else is lit on fire, so i imagine he would take significant amount of dmg even when he is resistant to fire 😄

[paper marsh]

it's not his own damage

He takes damage, it is not significant

Fire tick damage I think is a set value, it doesn't scale up based on what caused the fire. So I think it's something like 3 damage ticks or something

[craggy tangle]

the aoe is his effect. it cant harm him

if you make fire then yea it will hurt him

[paper marsh]

The AoE is his affect. But once he lights the grass on fire (due to firetick setting) and it spreads, it is now environmental damage and not his

This is specifically with the firetick setting

[craggy tangle]

AHHHH!!!!! with the sire spread... got ya

[eternal blade]

But burning ground is not. I've killed Yag recently on Hard, because of the fires all around I couldn't really stay at melee range, so I ended up kiting him to grass fires he started while shooting ice arrows at him

[craggy tangle]

then yea at that point the damage would be enviromental

[eternal blade]

I actually think the fire did more damage to him than my arrows

[craggy tangle]

well fire stacks... only type that dose

[eternal blade]

spirit does too

[craggy tangle]

didnt kno spirit stacked too

[merry pebble]

Both fire and spirit do from the dot dmg, only poison does not

[craggy tangle]

poison, frost, lightning. dont stack

[merry pebble]

Frost and lightning are not dot types 😄

[craggy tangle]

yea but its a elemental effect

[merry pebble]

All the dmg from frost and lightning gets dealt instantly, but its true that the slow effect from frost might not be stackable.

[foggy glacier]

Even if it's not stackable, AFAIK it resets the slow timer, so it's still good.

[merry pebble]

Yep 😄

[craggy tangle]

i was just stating that some types have multipliers and some don't is all. fire and spirit can stack and mutiply damage while the others dont.

[paper marsh]

Same with poison (but damage rather than slow)

[ornate crystal]

Ermmmm I've not played the game since it first released and half of these new items I don't have a clue how to use anyone able to help a dude out

[craggy tangle]

sure. i can answer any Qs you might have.

@ornate crystal

[ornate crystal]

So what do I use in the fermenter?

[craggy tangle]

you use mead base that you make from the mead ketal

[ornate crystal]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh that makes sense

[craggy tangle]

you can craft diff brews for diff effects

[merry pebble]

Meads function basically as potions in Valheim 🙂

[craggy tangle]

everything from healing to stm recov to poison and frost resit and more

[ornate crystal]

Thankyou as far as I've gotten I'm basically about to go fight bonemass is he still the same as before in 2021?

[craggy tangle]

pretty mush

make some posion resit pots.

[midnight roost]

poison potion, mace and parry

light work

[merry pebble]

I think his looks were overhauled a bit since 2021, but mechanics should be pretty much the same 🙂

[ornate crystal]

You say lightwork yet the elder whooped my ass 3 times 😂

[craggy tangle]

elder is cake with a simple cheese strat

[ornate crystal]

I did the cheese strat but got swarmed by everything possible in dark forest

[prime moth]

dang i forgot the real reason i got so much iron..... (storage space)

[craggy tangle]

did you do the correct cheese strat tho?

the one where you tunnel under the ulter

[ornate crystal]

Place campfires hide behind a pillar an shoot fire arrows I think so 🤔

Ohhhhh tunnel underneath didn't even know about that one

[craggy tangle]

go into oden great hall chat

@ornate crystal

[midnight roost]

did you clear out the area beforehand? remove any nests?

the elder for me was really easy/ boring, stand behind pillar, shoot, hide behind pillar. Roots grow? Move to next pillar

[prime moth]

luckily ive never been attacked by random mobs mid boss

[paper marsh]

I like meleeing Elder

[silk token]

its seriously so easy idk why people need to cheese. dodge his extremely telegraphed single attack move, vines spawn? kill any nearby. dont move. repeat.

[regal cave]

Yeah I love cheesing so i can not play the game im playing

[paper marsh]

I run from the vines a lot of the time 😔

I will say though everything feels a lot scarier the first time. I struggled hard when I started

[regal cave]

I know hes wood so fire but to me I believe he should be chopped

[silk token]

just look for the little dust clouds where they’re spawning, you can kill 2 easy before they start swinging

like just look for a clear-ish area and take out a vine or two so nothing is in range of you. the elder wont ever fire his machine guns if you just stay there

[silk token]

yeah its scary the first time lol, i think the intended design is to run around panicking when the roots come then the pewpewpew comes out and its chaotic and fun

but also you can easily literally just never move if youre ready to kill a couple roots

[abstract warren]

Lol I can actually jump up the ladder when overencumbered. Looks funny

[abstract warren]

Vineberry cluster doesn't seem to really grow

Everytime I come and check it's 3.something hours again

[silk token]

they should grow, just make sure whatever the wall is is a valid wall to grow on. The fruit have some weird rules too, they’re another thing I would much rather just run around and forage than farm

[grim wagon]

What gear is best in the swamp

Mainly preparing for mountains

[silk token]

we dont like the word “best” XD its all subjective, but, mountains has a large enemy vulnerable to blunt damage, and also flying enemies, thats pretty much all to prepare for if you want. oh also frost resist potions

[grave crow]

imo root armor

[strange cradle]

Root armor is "best" in the swamps (and sometimes later on), but you want iron armor to deal with Bonemass and later on in the Mountains.

[glad dome]

literally a second after i enter the ocean, rain starts. deadass these serpents got it out for me bro

[grave crow]

the anti poison is pretty nice and anti thrust dmg makes it good thru mountains + plains

[grim wagon]

Okay cool, thanks

[steel mica]

anti thrust?

[strange cradle]

pierce.

[steel mica]

🫠

[grave crow]

mb anti pierce lol

[strange cradle]

Root armor is really irrelevant in Mountains, but good for quick exploration of Plains.

You WANT iron armor for Mountains.

[steel mica]

Wont be too useful for early exploration since everything there is locked behind artisan table

[grave crow]

yeah iron armor is overall better for mountains bc of the armor points

[silk token]

ya thats why i didnt mention root at all

[strange cradle]

Root chest REALLY helps in Plains.

[steel mica]

Atleast mistlands you can use the mats right away

[grave crow]

wolves can be annoying and do pierce dmg iirc so its not bad its only that the poison is obsolete

and the bow skill for drakes

[strange cradle]

Not really necessary, IMHO.

Drakes are easy to kill with a minimum of bow skill.

[nocturne wolf]

wolves are slash

[silk token]

aaaaaaaaaakshhoally, they’re slashing

[strange cradle]

And you do want the iron armor for wolves and golems.

[grave crow]

nvm lol i never looked it up 😂

[strange cradle]

😄

np.

[grave crow]

i assumed cause the fang spear and ran w it ever since

[silk token]

thats fair lol. them wolves are maniacs i guess they rip and tear

[grave crow]

im like yeah these dudes probably bite with their teeth

[strange cradle]

But again, in Plains, you will learn to appreciate the Root chest.

[grave crow]

true i dont find them to be an issue like that

[strange cradle]

Mostly for when you're roaming about, but when you lay siege to a village, heavier armor is advisable.

[grave crow]

in my playthroughs i tend to skip iron to save it for padded or other weapons/gear that need it but iron armor isnt a bad investment, definitely not as bad as bronze lol

[strange cradle]

Totally.

[grave crow]

but nothing really is a bad investment cause resources are basically infinite if youre playing solo especially

[strange cradle]

It's just the time factor. And I do think that bronze armor is irrelevant.

[steel mica]

Just listen to the buzzing and dodgeroll 🫠

Save yourself from getting barbecued by the green lads

[strange cradle]

I don't even do a bronze shield. Lvl 2 bone shield is good enough for swamps.

[dim python]

me neither

i never parry anything too scary

[grave crow]

same here i just rock a maxed wood shield (surprisingly goes kinda far) until the iron buckler

[strange cradle]

You will want padded armor by then anyway.

[dim python]

i just tank it all with upgraded bone and 3 meats

[steel mica]

I run full fenris all the way through plains

[strange cradle]

Well, you're a dodge roller. I can't do that. 🙂

[steel mica]

Since the biome is quite devoid of any major threat

And is quite open

[strange cradle]

Lox and fuling berserkers hit REALLY hard. Like REALLY.

[steel mica]

Only thing I find threatening in the biome is a lox jump scaring me whilst I fight the horde

[strange cradle]

You want heavy armor for them, if you're not a dodge-roller.

[dim python]

how do they compare to starred bears?

[strange cradle]

MUCH harder.

[steel mica]

Them > bear

[grave crow]

i feel like root would be good for the tars too

[steel mica]

Bear will lose even with the resistances the bear has

[dim python]

holy jeez

[strange cradle]

Tar blobs? Don't get hit.

Really all you can say about them.

[silk token]

lox are more similar to troll in power, but attack far less predictably

[steel mica]

walk like a chad and bait their slime attack

[dim python]

can they be stunlocked?

[strange cradle]

Yes.

[steel mica]

You can actually block their slime and not get the debuff tarred

[silk token]

yup! same as trolls, weak to pierce

atgier will continue to serve you very well til ashlands when it becomes soggy butt

[strange cradle]

Again, if you're a dodge roller, life is easy in Valheim. If you're not... well, life wants you to wear heavy armor and have lots of health.

[grave crow]

tar blobs in my experience tend to be the hardest to evade out of the plains mobs (i think theres a new one and i have not come across it yet, still in mtns)

[nocturne wolf]

Anything that can be staggered can be staggered again immediately, so yes

[wise lotus]

Hello
My friends and I were thinking of starting a new server but we're afraid that our save might get invalidated by the 1.0 release, or that the deep north biomes won't be generated well on top of our older save. Do you think that's something we need to be concerned with, or is it ok to just start playing right now?

[nocturne wolf]

it would be nice if stronger enemies had their stagger bar cleared when they finish staggering, or maybe that could be a thing for high difficulties

[grave crow]

my strat for them is mostly shoot at a distance or get frostner lol

[steel mica]

just walk left to right and they'll miss even with full heavy armor, as long as you're in a flat-ish area

[strange cradle]

Don't explore too far north and you're good.

[silk token]

id appreciate that for large mobs, permastunning is kinda silly tho i absolutely do it lol

[dim python]

my troll strat was distance spam fire arrows too but that was boring so i stopped

[grave crow]

gotcha so they cant keep up w strafing

[steel mica]

yes

[strange cradle]

Yes, go left or right until they stop shooting then sprint forward and bash the shit out of them.

[steel mica]

well honestly 80% of creatures in valheim have turning disabilities

[silk token]

they’re beginning to seeee…. (no more bows)

[grave crow]

if i get hit tho i cant strafe anymore 😔

[steel mica]

Just dodge roll free i-frames

[strange cradle]

That's why I said: Don't get hit by tar blobs.

[strange cradle]

Again, if you're good at it, Valheim is easy. I suck at it.

[steel mica]

And if you still get hit just block

[dim python]

i've never liked fire arrow at troll spam. it always felt cheap, what's really fun is outrunning bears and fire artillering them 😉

[grave crow]

same here, i just like beating them up up close now, i can feel the adrenaline rush better too lol

[steel mica]

You wont get tarred if you block the attack

[strange cradle]

You still get poisoned and you still get tarred.

[silk token]

even slimes in the swamp lol, circling around them cuz they cant “see” “behind” themselves

[grave crow]

like real adrenaline not trinket

[dim python]

admittedly for a very long time i tried to dodge spam and knife them but i've begun to stunlock them with polearm instead

[steel mica]

From my experience no I havent been tarred only poison which to be honest is very minor, you get tarred if the tar attack is splashed on the ground especially below your feet

[dim python]

still terrifying, if they dont stun they hit like a truck

and if you're even slightly too late bam feel the fists

[steel mica]

But if directly blocked by shield you dont get tarred

[grave crow]

you get it, the polearm seems to be their best achilles heel 😂

[steel mica]

So blocking is good against tar

[strange cradle]

I doubt it, tbh

But I'd have to try again.

[steel mica]

Its best to look directly at them

[strange cradle]

I know.

[steel mica]

Dont strafe block 🫠

[strange cradle]

I usually face them directly and sidestep.

Well, how else would you do it?

You need to strafe and block according to your method.

[steel mica]

Block and walk towards them to minimize travel and maximize the smile to hit the shield instead

[silk token]

not really, even if youre blocking sometimes itll hit your toes or something idk what, and its a log of stagger meter damage, tried blocking them with tower however long ago

[strange cradle]

I'd totally get tarred.

[nocturne wolf]

blocking covers 180 degrees, so your toes are safe

[strange cradle]

Ok, I need to try that again... you know... for science.

[steel mica]

[dim python]

🫕

[steel mica]

This is just my experience everyones is different

[dim python]

mmm cheese

[steel mica]

But it works well for me so yes :)

Give it a try

And probably dont die to the slime

If all goes south

[dim python]

i'm a dodge devil but i still run bone shield because block and stamina are different meters in this game and stamina management is more fun that way

[steel mica]

Give the dodge roll a good ol spin

[strange cradle]

I can't do it.

My reflexes are bad. Again, Valheim is easy if you're the dodge roll king.

I can't do it.

[steel mica]

Thats alright not everyone is an absolute sweat in this game

[silk token]

i swear id get hit holding block vs tar

[dim python]

i'm the dodge roll bastard... i can do it most of the time but not all

[steel mica]

The good ol whack em or range bow is best

[nocturne wolf]

I've been fine blocking + strafing against them

[dim python]

how do you face trolls prior to elder?

[strange cradle]

Ok, I'll give it a try NOW. 😄

Bow.

[dim python]

ah. 🫡

[strange cradle]

I actually kill trolls before killing Eikthyr.

[silk token]

strafing yeah, but i swear holding up a tower shield vs a few of them they still get me. maybe i get knocked back into a blob thats behind me? idk. either way not 100% safe

[dim python]

cool

[steel mica]

If the tar splashes the ground you'll get tarred 😭

[dim python]

is tar in swamp

[strange cradle]

Nope.

[steel mica]

But if directly block it negates the tar but not poison

[prime moth]

that would be brutal

[dim python]

darn that couldve been fun

[strange cradle]

That would be brutal.

[prime moth]

tars are a menace

[steel mica]

Swamp is already a massive difficulty spike

[strange cradle]

Swamps already a big spike in difficulty for beginners.

[naive mountain]

Is there a formula for how I'm supposed to do posts in the suggestions chat?

[steel mica]

For the majority of the playerbase

[dim python]

i'm glad i'm prepared for the spike thanks to your help

[nocturne wolf]

I never noticed, it has a 1.5m aoe radius

[dim python]

i have a friend that got stuck on the valheim swamps

[strange cradle]

So I will get tarred no matter what.

[steel mica]

Dodge roll is a savior when fighting tar

[nocturne wolf]

it's great to move quickly if you get tarred

[steel mica]

If it splashes the ground yes but directly blocked no

[grave crow]

i love the dodge in this game

[strange cradle]

I hate it. 😄

[steel mica]

I've watched too many people panick when fighting tar

[grave crow]

hey and thats okay

[steel mica]

I cant imagine the queen pinning players against a wall...

[silk token]

that would make sense. i guess its the blobs that miss me barely and splash on my little toesies

[steel mica]

and not being able to get out

[grave crow]

i dont think u ever actually need to dodge roll at any point

[nocturne wolf]

it helps a lot to get ticks off early

[steel mica]

It can sometimes get you killed honestly

[nocturne wolf]

and that doesnt need precise timing

[steel mica]

Since you're stuck in a animation

[grave crow]

definitely lmao

[dim python]

😳

[steel mica]

Timing for perfect dodges are so tight but man are really juicy for saves

[dim python]

forgive me for romantic feelings for a matriarch

[steel mica]

I won't judge

Honestly no one will

[prime moth]

silver sword squired yahoooo

[steel mica]

Not the romance way no no no the brutal punishing way

[dim python]

silent smile. 🙂

[nocturne wolf]

@silk token i discovered that if you do a slow roll you can control your movement mid roll

[steel mica]

The amount of times I've gotten pinned by the queen and made it out alive is jaw dropping honestly

[unique heart]

Heill chat

[silk token]

lol thats funny. still not sure how useful

[steel mica]

Charred warriors > dodge roll

To the point I don't even dodge roll against them unless I have to

[nocturne wolf]

if you practice a lot and hear their attack sound you can tell if theyre feinting or not

[steel mica]

I just backpedal

[silk token]

standing still parrying 3 times til one of their feigns aren’t a feign free of consequence > charred warriors > my enjoyment of mob design

[nocturne wolf]

I jump around them and stab with silver sword

[steel mica]

I cast the power of the sun at them

AND THEY SHRUG IT OFF 😭

[silk token]

yeah.. just enough time to thrust them though if you’re fast

[steel mica]

Even 1starred I cant parry a warrior with FFE

diet

I probably need to eat HHS diet to even parry a 1starred warrior

[nocturne wolf]

not a single health food, what are you expecting

[steel mica]

THE 2 ENDGAME FEAST ARE GOOD 😭

A jack of all trades combo

[dim python]

black be eating plenty of carrots 🥕

[steel mica]

I should start running full melee again

[steel mica]

Thats early game 😅

I just eat HSS all the way to plains

[dim python]

yeah i figured that out partway

[loud estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/itch-crackhead-drugs-drugaddict-addict-gif-11128316954240258813

[dim python]

not clickin that

[strange cradle]

Ok, I'm back.

I can now confirm...

... that @steel mica is... RIGHT!

You CAN block tar.

[steel mica]

win

[nocturne wolf]

if you're close enough to a growth and not above it on a slope the projectiles won't hit the floor below you

[strange cradle]

I used Fenris armor, BM shield, and HHF.

Lox pie, wolf skewer and Mountains feast.

[steel mica]

Just don't get splashed by the toes and you should be good

[nocturne wolf]

if you do, try to roll away to avoid more damage. you don't need to time it, this helps you move fast

[steel mica]

with full max silver gear you could probably only handle like 2 tar whilst blocking

4 seems a bit too much

[nocturne wolf]

if you can get them all to attack around the same time they're easier to handle, their attack has a long cooldown

[strange cradle]

I had about four on my tail. 😄

[steel mica]

I strafe around them to get them all to sync up

[strange cradle]

Yeah, side strafing is still best.

[obsidian flax]

Hey

[steel mica]

Video game logic: if you can parry GG

if not sucks

[silk token]

consult the mighty blocking breakpoints spreadheet. 1 stars are possible, they also become zero stars with evasion mantle

[chrome badge]

This is also real life logic haha

[obsidian flax]

[silk token]

same if you say battleaxe for me lol

[gray sand]

[steel mica]

Talk about the greatswords you get me

[silk token]

hey Sev did you see my clip making use of how incredibly awesome spears are vs a serpent??

[supple nest]

would anyone want to start a world? and just play whenever

[gray sand]

Danger link is dangerous.

[supple nest]

im somewhat new

[gray sand]

#1024264966712340510

[steel mica]

Im imagining you throwing it at the serpent and watch as it sank in the depths of the ocean

[prime moth]

any quick tips of finding the woofers of the snow

[silk token]

it comes back up

[steel mica]

Even metal ones?

[gray sand]

Have low health with no stamina. They will find you.

[silk token]

think so yeah, ive missed with a bronze spear and found it

and better dps than a silly bow

[steel mica]

Make an outpost, have trap nearby ready, cover the trap with wood floor, in the center have a plaform to where you can jump up to and not get mauled by the doggos, destroy platform, PATIENCE

It takes roughly about 2-3 nights to tame a wolf even with animal whispering mead

[steel mica]

Reject bows, embrace masculine spartan weaponry

[prime moth]

i just want their head

to this day i have not tamed any animal in valheim lol

[steel mica]

Best to just breed them

Easier and safer

[gray sand]

Spears until Arbalest.

[steel mica]

👀

[steel mica]

Every single playthrough will be just me bolting for mistlands after getting iron

Krom and arbalest are too good

[prime moth]

i guess i need to find modor still anyway, the wolves will come

[steel mica]

The Queen vs all mobs 🤔

[silk token]

and only because of gjalls and i keep arbalest on my boat where i use it to protect it from them

[abstract warren]

If I keep some flametal in a chest just somewhere in ashlands will it be safe as long as the are isn't loaded?

[prime moth]

every time i've done that it has been alright

i didnt leave it super long though

crystal heart worth making? i got the bronze brooch rn

[abstract warren]

I gotta sail to find some iron for stonecutter and blast furnace

[prime moth]

my bad iron brooch

[abstract warren]

My main base is so far away 🥲

[prime moth]

do you want a hint

[gray sand]

Worth making? Yes, for the collection.
Worth wearing? No... but worth is subjecthive to the individual.

[prime moth]

im using bonemass rn so i guess i can just do that

[steel mica]

practicality honestly its just personal pre-
bronze pendant.

[gray sand]

Bronze is great.
Nimble is a good alternate if you want flat stamina bumps instead of regen.

Mantle is fucking OP.

[steel mica]

Resounding shackle is busted for competent melee users

[regal cave]

Sold

[steel mica]

To the point you can fight queen without rested buff 😭

[prime moth]

i've watched too many spears fly off into the distance

[gray sand]

Scale issue.

[polar mulch]

Big bonk stick.

[steel mica]

Im not the greatest with spears but I do hit alot of long range throws 😳

[polar mulch]

I just stab them with sword

And parry

[steel mica]

Embrace greatsword my friend

[polar mulch]

I like living out my Zelda fantasies tho

Sword and shield

[steel mica]

WE MUST HAVE MORE

500 greatsword users

[polar mulch]

Hmmmmmm

More wooden club users

[steel mica]

No

Even better

Stick with fire

[polar mulch]

Torch mains

[abstract warren]

Yes

[steel mica]

>

[polar mulch]

Yes

[steel mica]

[polar mulch]

I did do an elden ring run with big bonk stick

Very funny

[prime moth]

you can find iron in the morgen dens

[abstract warren]

Oh

Where tf do I find those

[prime moth]

you know the meadows 5 stones pointed outward things?

they look like that mixed with a troll cave

there's a bunch of bones surrounding the doors as well

[abstract warren]

Ok I'll try to find

Thanks

Should I try to breed asksvin before having a bit of a base or something

Or at least I should find a pare probably

Try to secure them somehow so I can breed before this hell kills them or me

[prime moth]

silver sword is probably the only item worth dumping supplies into upgrading right?

everything else is easily replaced

[strange cradle]

Silver sword is the weapon against Yagluth.

It is advisable to upgrade it.

Just like I would upgrade your armor to at least lvl 2.

Preferably lvl 3.

[tacit crystal]

Break the vases inside putrid holes or in citadel ruins, they have chance to drop any earlier metals.

[dim python]

deep north 🧂

yet

[midnight roost]

i've been in the deep north

haven't fully completed plains yet

Currently working on my third base, will probably take another couple of days

yes i did, i'm in plains right now

[prime moth]

i feel like going for wolf outfit is too risky for me.... i dont even end up using it most the time

[midnight roost]

just go for fenrir armour

[granite grail]

Tell that to my chest full of cores 😂 😭 I have so many I can ignore the ones in burial chambers. But see I never have enough coal.....

[prime moth]

oh i meant that one i dont wanna get lol

the fire dudes are pretty scary without fire res pot

[midnight roost]

oh yeah i suppose you can just get 1 for the speed boost

[tacit crystal]

Technically does, as placeholder currently.

[granite grail]

I use root harnesk into Mistlands 😎

[strange cradle]

You can, if you dodge-roll everything. 😉

[midnight roost]

root armour overrated just wack the mosquitos

[granite grail]

I don't dodgeroll and don't carry fire pots 😂

[grave crow]

imo plains

[pearl horizon]

I probably should rebind dodge to something else

[midnight roost]

Everytime i'm building a base i get raided 5-6 times atleast, whenever i'm done building, no more raids

[pearl horizon]

Strange

[polar mulch]

i got my first troll raid building a seccondary base

[midnight roost]

well, actually i got raided just 1 time when my base was complete, now i've started flattening, only flattening an area in the plains and i've had 2 raids already happen, so annoying

at this rate i'm just going to disable raids

[strange cradle]

Yeah, raids can be very annoying.

Thankfully I've defeated Fader in my forever world, so I only get the minor raids.

And my main base is in Meadows.

[crystal cargo]

Do the devs plan on optimizing the game? Can’t even build a house in the Black Forest cause I’m already starting out with 8000ish instances and then once I get to 11000 instances after my base it’s too laggy to play in t

[gray sand]

How bad is your PC that the Black Forest is lagging?

[undone plover]

I killed ekthyr what do i do now?

i got his power too

[gray sand]

Keep playing?

[granite grail]

Make an antler pickaxe and go find some copper deposits

[undone plover]

idk i cant find upgrades

[undone plover]

the crow said i need smutelings

[gray sand]

Upgrades to WHAT?

[undone plover]

copper

[gray sand]

Can you use more words to describe your issue?

[undone plover]

i need smurtling thing for furnance ryt?

[gray sand]

Surtling Core?

[granite grail]

Oh right mb. So in the Black Forest go find some Burial Chambers, bunch of skeletons out front. You have to fight the skeles inside and there will be surtling cores inside, red and black squares. Once you pick these up you'll get the recipe for a smelter which you put copper in and so forth

[gray sand]

Find a burial mound.

[undone plover]

this game is hard cause no guide bruh

[granite grail]

I think they meant crafting recipes XD

[gray sand]

No.

[granite grail]

My friends here disagree but this is why I state it's more fun to play it first with another player to help guide you XD

Don't kill me Sevrahn 🙏 😂

[gray sand]

Genuine research shows part of why current generation is cognitively slower than previous is because all of their games have guides, hints, etc. Where previous had games that required you to actually figure shit out 🤷‍♂️

[granite grail]

Ngl just explore anything and everything you stumble upon and pick everything up you'll get there eventually

[grave crow]

the wolf fur cape description cracks me up every time

[grave crow]

https://klipy.com/gifs/old-man-yells-at-cloud-yelling

not to mention guides have been around since games have

in some form or another

[brittle umbra]

Are there mods available for console? I figure it’s a no but also that I’d ask.

[gray sand]

#mods-discussion

[feral grove]

My general advice: If you see something you haven't seen before, try to interact with it/pick it up. If you see a new type of enemy (in your current or previous biome), kill it and pick up whatever it dropped. If you can craft something that isn't a weapon or piece of armor, make at least 1 - it could unlock more recipes.

[obsidian trench]

Is there a way I can apply the removedrops dev command globally? I am hosting a server and with 8 players there is a lot of stuff all over, and going to every area players have been to in order to run this command in a certain radius will be quite time consuming

[gray sand]

I think buying a new PC because your current one fried trying to load and account for every item across the entire Vahleim map at once would be more time-consuming. 🤔

[obsidian trench]

? Nothing fried it’s a dedicated server through AMP. It’s a little laggy, clearing the drops will help a bit but it’s only part of my solution. IDK where you got the impression anything I’m hosting on fried.

[abstract warren]

In Valheim what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but what does kill you makes you weaker and weaker till before you know it your skills are fkin back to noob level

[gray sand]

No. Like right now you're loading only local area.

You're asking if you can do it globally, which would require loading EVERYTHING.

And if you tried that. 🔥

[obsidian trench]

Oh I see, the initial response was just a bit confusingly worded I think.

I definitely don’t want to load everything, I think a more specific question from me would be if I can apply a radius to the removedrops command

[gray sand]

I don't know about radius.

However, to my knowledge, as long as they don't drop stuff in workbench radii the game automatically cleans drops up every so often.

[obsidian trench]

I didn’t even know that. Ive never seen things despawn. I’ll probably just need to go to certain places and clear drops I guess

[grand juniper]

It's joever, it's spring. We cant larp in the deep north during VVinter anymore

[prime moth]

when it comes out in december we can 🧠

modor found!!!

let the terraforming begin

[prime moth]

is there any rhyme or reason to how mushrooms spawn?

[strange cradle]

There should be.

And mushrooms in Mistlands don't respawn, if you mean those.

[dim python]

just crafted my first serious carrot stew and i gotta say it's gonna be sad letting go of the queen's jam

but the carrot field shall be vast

[strange cradle]

😄

[dim python]

i gotta defeat the elder this is getting embarassing

[strange cradle]

You can do it!

Be well fed (deer stew, minced meat, carrot soup).

[dim python]

already on it

[strange cradle]

Lvl 3 Troll armor is sufficient.

And a lvl 2 bone shield works just fine.

[dim python]

i'm literally fully troll armored

[strange cradle]

Very good.

Then just axe him to death.

[dim python]

and it's all level 3 too 😂 😭

[strange cradle]

Fight's over in five minutes tops.

[dim python]

i might wear my level 3 bear suit

[strange cradle]

Hm... not sure about the armor stats of those.

I never honestly tried it. 😄

[midnight roost]

stick with troll armour

[dim python]

if you're not wearing the helm it's 1 or 2 armor points above troll

[midnight roost]

you won't be needing to run a lot

troll armour and bronze helmet

[strange cradle]

Yeah, you just stand your ground.

Good idea.

What do you do to trees? Fell them with an axe.

[dim python]

i was gonna shoot him with fire arrows ❤️‍🔥

[strange cradle]

Don't.

Axe and Shield.

[dim python]

ok

[strange cradle]

MUCH better.

[polar mulch]

Said like a true viking

[dim python]

i mean i have enough ancient seeds to fight him more than once

[gray sand]

Killing Elder with Torches is fun.

[polar mulch]

I used a couple campfires

[strange cradle]

And for the... advanced players. 😄

[gray sand]

Takes like 7-8 iirc due to durability. But goes pretty fast.

[strange cradle]

Really?

How long?

[gray sand]

He's a tree.
Fire works fast.

[strange cradle]

Well fire arrows take forever.

[polar mulch]

Like burning a stack of wood to get a stack of charcoal

[gray sand]

You can swing torch faster than you can shoot.
And you have more uptime in melee because you just roll stomps instead of waiting out ranged vines.

[prime moth]

dodging his stomps gets pretty easy too

[strange cradle]

I don't dodge. I block with a shield.

[dim python]

(i do both)

[strange cradle]

And yes, staying close is much better, then being far away, where his vines can reach you.

[silk token]

why not TWO axes?

[midnight roost]

why not a chainsaw?

[strange cradle]

😄

[dim python]

currently trying to make 2 of my 4 starred boars i just fed raspberries two husband it

the pink hearts aren't appearing anymore

[abstract warren]

Ashlands solo so impossible

[midnight roost]

there's a limit to how many boars you can have in a defined area

[foggy glacier]

nah. It's veryy tough, especially the first time.

[dim python]

i think it's 5

[midnight roost]

yeah

[dim python]

the hearts came back for a moment

[abstract warren]

I was even ok with dying endlessly until I saw what it did to my skills

[midnight roost]

hmmm, try reloading?

[abstract warren]

Set me back to stone age level

[polar mulch]

i still do die endlessly

tho that might be a skill issue on my part

[dim python]

miracle of childboarth

[abstract warren]

Is running in full fenris armour with full stamina food to find a Morgen cave a good idea

[silk token]

raspberries?? thats a new one for me if they eat raspberries. the stones tell us they eat roots of the ground

[gray sand]

Staff of Fireball.

[dim python]

yeah i was like "which food they seem to eat raspberries" and everyone was like "raspberries yeah"

[silk token]

sword and shield

[abstract warren]

I am using it

[gray sand]

How is anything ever damaging you?

[midnight roost]

they're boars, i once left some iron ingots by my boars because i was carrying too much, when i came back it was gone, pretty sure one of them ate it

[silk token]

early magic sucks in ashlands imo. full tank sword and shield ftw

[gray sand]

I'm telling BattleYacks you said this.

[abstract warren]

I go with 3 eitr food maybe it's not a good idea. Sooner or later a whole horde with a Morgen or a fallen Valkyrie catches up to me and destroys me

[gray sand]

Early magic is what makes Ashlands boring because it is too easy.

[gray sand]

How is the "whole hoard" living long enough to reach you?

[dim python]

these boars are crazy they still happy when i aint fed em...

[abstract warren]

Even fireball staff takes a bit to kill a Morgen. And if a whole big bunch of fkers chases me and my stamina runs out I'm fked

[gray sand]

Roll up with EEF food, Fireball, and the eitr earrings trinket.
You're like a sith lord slaughtering sand people.

[abstract warren]

EEF?

[gray sand]

?

I believe in you.

[silk token]

i found myself constantly running and recasting shield til i died over and over til i got vine staff. i probably died 30 times. next time sword and shield zero deaths. alls i know

[abstract warren]

What is EEF food

[dim python]

i believe eef means something to the effect of meat meat stamina

[gray sand]

I believe in you.

[cerulean star]

2 Eitr, one feast

[gray sand]

Not even close.

[steel forge]

What level are your magic skills at?

[silk token]

but i did have normal person elemental skills levels, i didnt power grind it to 100 before trying to play the game

[gray sand]

Way to ruin my belief.. 😭

[abstract warren]

I haven't made even one feast till now lol

[abstract warren]

I have to check. But dying tens of times fked it up

[gray sand]

Skill is irrelevant.

[abstract warren]

It surpassed my other skills because I've mostly been using magic and my higher skills got down to shit

[abstract warren]

I think you mean to say the real skill is player skill

[gray sand]

To a point, yes.
Having magic at 0 is fine because fireball is that powerful.
Having it higher just makes the easy even easier.

[silk token]

imo do 3 hp foods, mistwalker, and any shield you prefer. dont run from fights just fight things as they come or you just die running. stay calm and parry and dodge.

[steel forge]

I was thinking more for blood skill larger shield hp pool helps a lot when you first get there.

[silk token]

if theres large mobs and small mobs, conserve stamina and dodge til the big things kill the small things

[gray sand]

Until you start taking on fortresses there is very little to sprint from. So your stamina should be fine.

I personally never use the blood bubble that everyone loves because I don't find it even remotely necessary.

[silk token]

yeah when you use magic and theres a morgan and a valk and some asksvins th ats a lot to run from and you cant and have to barely get off a bubble cast to have it broken immediately

Still not sure what "EEF" food means

I guess something to do with Eitr

[silk token]

e = eithyr h= health s=stamina f=feast

[midnight roost]

f = feet

[abstract warren]

Ok

I haven't cooked a single feast yet lol

Should I

[steel forge]

Yes

[gray sand]

HSEF are the food types.
Food sheet is pinned in this channel.

[silk token]

when you give up on magic in early ashlands as you should, try HHH sword shield or krom and parry and kill anything that challenges you. or

try it and tell me how it didnt work XD

[gray sand]

You get 3 slots.
Most common builds are things like HHS or HSS.
Mages tend to rock HEE or SEE, but Mistlands/Ashlands feasts also give you eitr, so that's when you switch to EEF.

[silk token]

but i went from 30 deaths to 0 deaths personally so

[gray sand]

Krom? Not Splintnr??

FOR SHAME.

[abstract warren]

I actually often do pretty well with Mistwalker and carapace buckler

Slayed several Morgens like that

[warm sphinx]

I think I'm brave enough to start a no portal run. Not going full immersive without a map, I can't live without a map

[abstract warren]

It's often almost perfect parry throughout the fight

[silk token]

correct, skeletons resist pierce

[gray sand]

The Mistlands battleyacks does PIERCE?

[silk token]

krom is even better, parry alternate attack like 3 times maybe its dead

[silk token]

oh u said splitnur not skull splitner i thought that was a spear

[gray sand]

If I am shaming you it will always be due to you saying you're using a not-BA weapon 😁

[silk token]

actually imo krom>skull splitner in ashlands

[abstract warren]

Parry alternate attacks?

[silk token]

parry THEN alternate attack, aka middle mouse

[abstract warren]

Oh ok

Idk I think I tried it once

[silk token]

you chunk like 1/3 of a morgans hp

[abstract warren]

Feels not so different from 2 regular mistwalker attacks

[silk token]

it VERY is

[abstract warren]

Ok I'll try

[silk token]

try middle mouse on a warrior walking up to you, you stagger his butt and wound him greatly

same with asksvin, stab then one attack while its staggered

[abstract warren]

Right

[silk token]

you gotta be the scary thing to fear

[abstract warren]

Just the stab attack staggers them? Without the parry?

[gray sand]

try not! Do, or do not. There is no try.

[abstract warren]

~Master Yagluth

[bright iron]

anyone tryna play sometime?

im new btw

[silk token]

ya iirc. depends on weapon and skill maybe

[prime moth]

the terra has been formed

gl modor

[dim python]

is it like

a good idea to just build a cart wherever a troll breaks a lot of copper

and just leave it there for a while

[abstract warren]

I'm trying to use the character rename utility pinned in this channel but it tells me "Wrong version Your character file version 43 is not supported :("

[silk token]

whats your sword skill currently?

[maiden sable]

im finally happy with how my roof looks after two rl days-> proceeds to ask himself what to do next-> well ill have to sail to new lands...ill need a better ship...and a dock for that. back to the drawing board i go...builders curse

i cant do a single thing without building a structure for it now 😭

[abstract warren]

15

[gray sand]

As it should be!

[silk token]

oof ok lol

[maiden sable]

viking architect simulator !

[silk token]

ima dev command mine down on my one world and see what happens

[maiden sable]

love it...gives me purpose to build sth functional

[abstract warren]

Yeah I died and then I dieded and then diededed...............

[silk token]

yuuup yup same my first time

[maiden sable]

i fell of my roof more than id like to admit....

way more than ill ever admit...

dieing is only natural

its also natural to play for like 5 hours then ask urself why u didnt gain any skill point progres....

then u remember how u were violently mauled by a bear....ah right thats why

[abstract warren]

My polearms skill went from over 50 down to 16

[maiden sable]

well thats rip

gl hitting a dummy for like a hour to regain the progress 💀

[dim python]

this can be prevented by having more than 100 health

if you have more than 100 health no fall onto ground can kill you

[maiden sable]

ud assume that id die by a single fall but nuhh uhh im even more doofus than that

[abstract warren]

If I go full viking build in Ashlands should I go with HHH food or HHS

[silk token]

oof. yeah arite, with 15 that is not a reliable stagger there lol. uhm.

[maiden sable]

and ill 100% forget eating while building irl and in game so.....100+ hp is all nice and cool till i get tunnel visioned on building and then...one small misstep...boom ded..or i die to multiple tiny falls. thats the usual 🤣

[silk token]

so i take back krom at this point, definitely sword and shield over krom

[abstract warren]

Oh

[maiden sable]

technically i could also just build scaffolding but i refuse and rather slip off the roof twice in 2minutes nearly dieing in the process. i cant help it ngl 🤷‍♂️

[silk token]

because at least you can parry more things with a shield, since you dont have stagger utility from krom against non-star warriors.

[abstract warren]

stagger utility?

[silk token]

the utility of being able to thrust and stagger a warrior without them just swinging and hitting you for it

[abstract warren]

Ah ok

[silk token]

like with 15 you just can't do that unless you time it really well, and i also tried to parry i 1 star warrior with krom and 3 health it didnt go well either

so carapace buckler and mistwalker, and just go slow and crawl your way back to a respectable sword skill level lol

that's rough getting sent to such low combat skills

[gray sand]

Alternatively, Buckler + Silver Sword.

[silk token]

eh, but the slow from mistwalker when you're realy struggling

[gray sand]

If you're "really struggling" -- staff of fireball 😉

[silk token]

lol.

i just remember fireballing warriors and asksvins walking up to me like plase die pleas die please die its not dying

and then one valkyrie finds me and everythign is behind it shoving it forward so its attack thats supposed to slow it down doesnt slow it down so its still charging at me faster htan i run and hitting me

[gray sand]

Scale issue 😏

[silk token]

press my run key harder?

[prime moth]

modor is in tears lets gooooo

moder ? i can never remember if it's o or e

[gray sand]

er

[abstract warren]

YAY I DIEDEDEDEDEDEDEDEDEDEDED AGAIN.

[balmy seal]

Ashlands again?

[abstract warren]

Yep

Hellhole

[final bloom]

I enjoyed Ashlands as the first place that actually kept killing me and made me up my game

[balmy seal]

I still haven't been there yet.

[final bloom]

It’s a whole thing just managing to land ur boat on the shore.

[abstract warren]

I've enjoyed playing solo till this godforsaken place

Now it'd be better with at least another viking

[final bloom]

Me and three friends managed to load two catapults onto the boat and straffed up and down before we even landed safely lol.

[balmy seal]

I got close and saw my boat was melting so I had to turn back

[final bloom]

Yep I won’t tell you why and let you enjoy working it out. We certainly did

[abstract warren]

This place certainly does a great job making me hate it

[true sonnet]

Haha this April 1st I'm not falling for it

[abstract warren]

Going full fenris mode and running from all the demons feels like the best option right now

[balmy seal]

I love the fenris armor. I'm in mistlands and still wearing it.

[prime moth]

never thought id use early axes all the way up to plains

🪓

[balmy seal]

I don't bother going above bronze axe for farming.

[wet fox]

@prime moth cant find mysterious axe head but found 3 curious ones

[prime moth]

f

[wet fox]

i know they are only in abandon house variant 2 but they not droppin

[prime moth]

yeah i havent found one on every spawn

and in hindsight i'd prefer to just stick with bronze axes

for shields mostly

[wet fox]

ive been using bear claws as my main weapon right now idk why

[prime moth]

they're great for black forest

easily made too

[wet fox]

just got my first bit of iron and made pick

[abstract warren]

Worked well

I'm fast af boi they can't even get close to me

Finally found a Morgen cave

Now swapping to viking gear to slay it and hopefully get me some iron for blast furnace

[prime moth]

GL!

[abstract warren]

Thanks

The Morgen came out of the ground the exact second when I finish looting the cave 😆

I just bolted

No iron though...

But I found 1 molten core

And 8 stacks of bones

[glad dome]

i managed to take down my first abomination

i was so paranoid of being 3rd partied bro, the swamps do not play

[balmy seal]

Aboms are pretty easy once you have the proper gear.

[abstract warren]

Battleaxe is best against abominations

[maiden sable]

that moment when the storm and nighttime hits and u kinda feel unsafe but u remember ure in a longboat now ! u ARE the danger ure not in danger anymore 😄

[dim python]

what's the closest thing this game has to ladders

[abstract warren]

There are stairs that are called ladders lol

[silk token]

"wood ladder"

[dim python]

you can't like grab it and ascend purely vertically right

[abstract warren]

Then there's less steep stairs called stairs

[abstract warren]

No

[silk token]

its pretty vertical but

[balmy seal]

Vertical with extra steps

[glad dome]

do yall got tips for finding sunken crypts? i have been searching for almost an hour with zero sight of a single one

[balmy seal]

Find a big swamp, there will be a few scattered throughout

[silk token]

i sail past and look for hte green lights. as soon as i find bonemass summoner i go to that swamp because it's always juiced

[glad dome]

oh sweet, i just found a summoning stone lol

[rugged urchin]

Wen Valheim steam background 🙁

[cosmic summit]

what does left ctrl do while building?

[rugged urchin]

We need plains or mistlands biome background 🙁

[silk token]

nice, hit up that swamp it'll be juicy, worst case you set up a boss portal

[glad dome]

can muddy scrap piles normally appear on the surface? i just found some

[balmy seal]

Yes, you can find the occasional one on the surface. You can also get iron from oozers. It's one way to get iron stuff before doing Elder.

[glad dome]

also are ooze bombs good?

should i try them out?

[foggy glacier]

I like to use them in specific dungeons that are about 3 biomes ahead of Swamp.

[glad dome]

could it help in the mountains? i assume thats where ill be headed after bonemass

[balmy seal]

Make some and give them a try

[blazing cobalt]

Question, does anyone run the forsaken again after reaching the end game just to see how much more powerful you've become?

[balmy seal]

Yes

[brittle umbra]

What does that “1 per game” sword need to be crafted?

[foggy glacier]

I go back after the Elder all the time just to pick up more keys for free light. It's fun to watch him drop in two rounds of hits.

[foggy glacier]

There are three pieces you need to pick up from specific POIs in ||ashlands||. Defeating the mini-boss for the last one is quite a thing.

[balmy seal]

I so much as breathe on Eikthyr and he falls over

[foggy glacier]

Yeah, he's a 1 shot after I guess mountain.

Honestly Eikthyr is the one I don't bother with.

[sage hazel]

lf filipino players

[blazing cobalt]

I run him again just for the trophy

[brittle umbra]

What all do you need?

[rugged urchin]

Means there's only 1 sword to be crafted per world.

Materials can be found in || ashlands || . Find the first POI. After clearing the first POI, it should give you the 2nd location and so on.

[tacit crystal]

Alongside with the pieces it also requires mainly flametal and bloodstone(s) to craft.

[olive portal]

I just started a new dedicated server If anyone wants to join. send me a message and I will send you an invite to the server discord.

[spark plover]

#1024264966712340510 would be better for that

[tepid prawn]

||You need a bloodstone gem (new Ashlands thing) and the metal from that biome (Flametal), as well as 3 special parts from different locations, these 3 parts are only available once per world.||

I use an Admin mod on my server so that more than one person can obtain this sword.

[abstract warren]

Aight

I'm done with Ashlands for awhile

Putting this world aside for another time. With another player sometime maybe.

[prime moth]

its way more enjoyable the 2nd time

no worries

[abstract warren]

Hmm

It's just not fun solo I think

[prime moth]

its fun when you like giga over prepare

very challenging but rewarding

[abstract warren]

Yeah idk wtf is the strategy honestly. I keep dying it's getting too much

[prime moth]

fireplaces everywhere

moving like 10m at a time

[abstract warren]

Right

I was getting impatient and put on my fenris armour and running like a madman lol

[prime moth]

sounds really fun but scary as hell lol

[abstract warren]

Lol can be
