[warped mauve]

Ok thanks, it let me paste it there. #screenshots message

[warm sphinx]

You get access to stone from the swamp so that's the major upgrade you can do to your base. Although I think wood buildings can still look good, surrounded by a stone wall.

And yeah it can be tough to find ideas on youtube that don't use all late game materials. SmittySurvival has a video on walls that mostly uses just the basic wood and stone pieces

[warped mauve]

yep, just unlocked stone cutter, let me look for that channel, thanks.

[warm sphinx]

4th most recent video for him

He has another one for stone walls a bit longer ago

[naive mountain]

Do greydwarf nests respawn or do I only have to deal with them once?

[warped mauve]

Once you kill it, it's gone. Same for draugr spawners.

[naive mountain]

Sweet, thank you

[warm sphinx]

Yeah, although it is sometimes nice to keep them

For deliveries of building materials and eyes

[warped mauve]

for training and farming, right?

[warm sphinx]

Yeah. I've wanted to build a base near one for a while. Not with some weird auto farm though, just surrounding it to create an arena where I can go fight

Maybe for wolves but I wouldn't want them dying there

I'm not sure if wolves would be fine there and heal any wounds they get while away from base

[warped mauve]

A cool goal for me has been to tame wolves, then keep them around the base for defense / howls. This game takes so much time though.

[fossil umbra]

just beaten Yagluth, i had everything maxed out, best food, best potions etc. and i had a hell of my life, at the start when fighting yagluth 6 loxes attacked me and huge village of fulings with 4 shamans xD but i made it, i maybe used 10 potions for healing 💀

took only 40 minutes

[naive mountain]

I really wish I could get just a tiny hint to where haldor could be. Btw, how close to his camp do you have to get before it's marked on your map? Like is there a minimum size a blank spot on the map has to be before it's worth checking for him, or could he be hiding in any unmapped crevice?

[fossil umbra]

like 300 meters maybe idk, u have to be kinda close

[naive mountain]

What does 300 meters look like on the map?

[fossil umbra]

You can notice Haldor the trader in Valheim when you come within approximately 320 to 453 meters of his location.
Valheim Wiki
Valheim Wiki
At this distance, a bag icon will appear on your map, signaling his presence even if you have not fully explored or cleared the fog in that specific area.
Reddit
Reddit
+1
Detection Mechanics: The icon appears when the related zones are generated, often twice the default mini-map range.
Best Time to Spot: Many players suggest searching during the night, as Haldor’s campfire is visible from further away.
Where to Look: He is only found within the Black Forest biome, generally 1,500 meters or more away from the center of the world.

Once you approach one of his possible spawn locations, he will spawn there, and the bag icon will appear on your map

thats what google said

[dim trellis]

ive had really good luck finding him on any map just sailing around the coast of all land masses a bit away from my starting center

[fossil umbra]

or just use valheim world generator

[naive mountain]

Doesn't that spoil the entire map though?

[fossil umbra]

u can also use commands to see how far u are to the merchant and go into all directions a couple meters and in which direction distance gets smaller

[chrome badge]

That will label the character with the "Cheater!" Tag

[cosmic summit]

Anyone else feel guilty about destroying the environment every time they use staff of embers?

[paper marsh]

I tend to not use the staff of embers, so I'd say no

[cosmic summit]

Do you not use it because of its tendency to vaporise all the foilage?

[paper marsh]

I don't use it because it feels OP to me

Same reason I don't use bows, atgeirs, or staff of protection

I do feel bad for the foliage when I fight Yag though. Mate lights the entire plains on fire with firetick

[fossil umbra]

btw which trinket is better for mistlands? the one from stone golem or from lox?

[cosmic summit]

Feeling op is kinda the point

[paper marsh]

Seems like it

I don't like that feeling tho, which is why i abstain

[paper marsh]

Really just preference. Both of them require quite a bit of adrenaline to proc though

Personally I like the ||fins of destiny|| trinket in mistlands, for movement and escaping bad situations

[fossil umbra]

i am sword player so i will do the lox trinket cus 100+ hp sounds amazing

and i also use frostner

[cosmic summit]

Channeling the raw forces of creation isn't for everyone

[paper marsh]

I will use frost staff

[fossil umbra]

frostner + black metal sword :DDD

[paper marsh]

I'm a big fan of hybrid builds, going melee but with a bit of supplemental magic

[fossil umbra]

it will be my first time in mistlands so i will see if i like magic tbh

[paper marsh]

Some peeps don't

Imo it is a lot of fun, but gets a bit too powerful

[fossil umbra]

but do i only have the feeling that bosses are a bit better than they used to?

[cosmic summit]

Blood gem slayer + staff of protection?

[paper marsh]

||Blood|| weapons are a lot of fun, but I tend to play permadeath so they are a bit risky for me. Except maybe some shenanigans with oneshotting enemies with the crossbow

||As I said tho I don't use the staff of protection. So just some ice or skellies or fracturing or something. Ice is pretty nice for slowing enemies down while generating adrenaline and giving me some room to breathe||

[cosmic summit]

What foods do you run? I hadn't considered the adrenaline gain of the frost staff

[last otter]

There’s blood weapons in the game now? Or is that not new?

Like, Siphon?

[nocturne wolf]

they're available in ashlands, and they've been around since that biome was added

you deal more damage when your health is low

[last otter]

Oh, I never got far into the Ashlands, lol. Makes sense.

Oh, nice.

[proud apex]

First person view to valheim when

[tacit crystal]

I think you might like Resounding Shackle, which is Mistlands tier trinket. It grants 100 stamina when activated and some extra slash damage for duration.

[last otter]

That could be really fun.

[proud apex]

Also nice when in settlements

So you can see more detail

[final bloom]

It makes mistlands more interesting when you stand on a raised stone point and look down

[proud apex]

I think it shuld be like minecraft for example

Where you can change views

From 3rd to first

[final bloom]

We installed the first person mod for those reasons

[proud apex]

Saddly im on xbox

[paper marsh]

I like to run HHF most the time. Might try HHE once in a while

But yeah magic seems to gain adrenaline really fast, and the fact that it's ranged also helps you to even just do tap firing once in a while to stop adrenaline loss

[wet lodge]

is there any way to improve the insurmountable amounts of lag on a server?

enemies constantly teleport/glitch around

are invisible half the time

cant interact with things without a 10s delay

[merry pebble]

Sadly, pretty much only to let the person with best connection to lead the way

[wet lodge]

but even when im alone its like this rn

[dim trellis]

that server you connect to is too far away or just slow, or else there is an internet routing issue which neither the server nor you have control of really

[wet lodge]

must be the server host or internet routing ig

the server is 12ms away from me

[abstract warren]

I just realised the log variant of the trolls don't throw stones

Kinda balances them out with the regular ones

Their melee reach is scary though

[trim horizon]

is silver ore needed later in the game once you reach mistlands or beyond?

[grim wagon]

What food set up do you guys use for bosses

[eternal blade]

A little bit. Even with reserve, I'd say 70 at most, that is including scythe which you can make after killing Moder

[trim horizon]

ty

[dim trellis]

when i rented valheim server the cheapest one was just garbage like they didnt even test it, i had to spec up to a pretty expensive server to make it good, and even then it was not as good as a full on gaming computer on fiber

[abstract warren]

Is it really worth undermining copper?

Such a long labor

[paper marsh]

I never really had an issue with servers, though Ive only played them a bit

[polar mulch]

you can use trolls to mine it for u

just make them hit the ground

[abstract warren]

Yes

I've done that before it's great

I gotta find a troll though...

[gentle bane]

In general what you like better? log or logless trolls?

[abstract warren]

I guess log

They're much deadlier if they hit you but it's actually easy to run and shoot fire arrows

But if they surprise you it's quite a jumpscare

[dusty sand]

hi guys im new in game, so im looking people speak portuguese to play with me

[silk token]

no log, they’re better mining slaves

[chilly swallow]

Hey everyone. I’m looking for a 21+ group that loves to build. Making a nice base, ports here and there, secondary bases to stop at between home base and the Ashlands, etc. Anyone that’d welcome me?

[paper marsh]

Not personally interested (and I’d recommend doing a #1024264966712340510 ), but sounds like a great world for the No-Portals modifier

[chilly swallow]

Oooh that’s what lfg stands for, thank you

[dim python]

in case anyone wanted to know

the elder is finally defeated

🥳 😞

[wet lodge]

my server is prepping for it, but we got attacked by 4 trolls, 2 bears, 2 star and 1 star shaman and a fuling

[dim python]

for those who don't know

i kept putting this off

people were making fun of me for it 🫠

[wet lodge]

constant swarms of deathsquitos

despite us being far away from a tiny bit of plains

we killed 12

[trim horizon]

whats lox weakness?

they take so long to kill

[nocturne wolf]

they're weak to fire and not resistant against pierce

wolf spear works very well

[dim trellis]

wolf spear 😂

[trim horizon]

my team has lost all of our spears

[dim trellis]

lox are weak to running away

[regal cave]

A good shield, parrying, and not fighting 3 at once

[olive cloak]

sometimes I wish enemies had stamina so you could do the tried and true humanity method of just poking it and running away multiple times until it got so tired it fell asleep

then you know, you kill it dead

[paper marsh]

How will the forest fare without its guardian to protect it :(

[olive cloak]

The elder is a tyrant !!! Never trust his wooden ways !!

[dim trellis]

the forsaken are not guardian heh

they are destroyers and corruptors

[dim python]

he's still there don't worry i'm gonna fight him again

either way was not and will not be gone

no helping it valheim isnt truly mutable

[dim trellis]

for now...

[dim python]

i've considered making a valheim fangame with extensive dives into ecology and civil engineering physics

[dim trellis]

hows that

[final bloom]

In #mods-discussion there are some that help with spears like ZenCombat where they return to you if you go too far away (lost them) if that is something you’ll find helpful.

[dim python]

that castle will finally make sense, the wind will be able to turn over a simple wall

and lain brick will be a much more sure source of stability

[dim trellis]

oh i get it

[dim python]

i havent got to work on this at all

im not having my precognitions though so that might mean it's a likelier part of my future

[dim trellis]

chill on the spice kate

[dim python]

but since it's not in any precognitions it's uncertain

[dim python]

i'm trying... i'm on antipsychotics. it used to be a lot worse

[dim trellis]

whoa

[dim python]

did i say too much out loud

[dim trellis]

so how about that deep north

....gonna be cold eh?

[dim python]

we mightve actually hit rock bottom we might bounce back a bit before going back down

to take you less than literally

[dim trellis]

you know i would not have guessed it would be deep north as a fifth biome after fire land, since we already had mountain

what if they crammed in a whole 3-4 progression levels into snow zone

[dim python]

that would be rad i'd be excited

the future may be bright #u#

[dim trellis]

i was hoping to walk on the world tree branch thing though

[trim horizon]

I cant wait to see what the last boss is

[dim trellis]

spoiler:

||yourself||

[trim horizon]

that would be easier than eikthyr

[dim trellis]

😄

[chrome badge]

Not the Dark Link ending 😨

[trim horizon]

I just died to the bog witches broom.......... end my suffering

[dim trellis]

omg i knew that thing was up to no good!!

[lone rampart]

No, Fader was. On the internet, no one knows you're a giant undead dragon.

[near furnace]

I do admire tenacity

[chrome badge]

Dust in the wind

[near furnace]

so what have I don't to be slandered this time?

[dim trellis]

purple name probably

[near furnace]

developers are purple 🤔

[dim trellis]

heheh

[near furnace]

not even a moderator or displayed community manager role

[dim trellis]

maybe Further will explain 🧐

[near furnace]

doubt it

[plucky rock]

wheres valheim ss

[dim python]

i've been very far to the north and very far to the south, where might i find a swamp?

[coral marten]

hello everyone

[dim python]

(not actually that far)

@coral marten you sent me a dm and friend request. what's up?

[coral marten]

my friend named kate wanted to invite you to something

[near furnace]

no one knows

[balmy seal]

Go sailing and you'll find one

[merry pebble]

Swamps dont have any set direction to be in 🙂 so you can venture anywhere from centre out

[dim python]

do rafts require nails

i found a curious body of land just across a slightly too long body of water

[naive mountain]

Hey, I just realized some of the intentional - looking arrangements of stones I see around meadows look kinda like a type of Viking burial I've heard of (stones arranged in boat shape)
Should I start digging or are the just for the atmosphere

[naive mountain]

Nope! Just leather scraps, wood and resin

[near furnace]

yup yup. it's called a ship burial

[eternal blade]

An undead viking despoiling a grave of a dead viking...

[oak river]

They've got treasure on the ends

If you dig. Or just bones half the time

[dim python]

of what sort?

do they ever have weapons?

[eternal blade]

yeah, kinda...

[regal cave]

The best weapon type in the game

[dim python]

wooden #u#

[regal cave]

Yeah what weapon has a better way to get skill 😎

[dim python]

another strangely empty troll cave...

[silk token]

normal, they're like 50/50 in my experience

[wet lodge]

do we have a channel for Viking/Valheim-adjacent youtube content?

to post I mean

memes and clips says valheim only, but what I'd like to share talks about the Atgeir, but not about valheim specifically

[naive mountain]

GUYS I JUST SAW A BAG ICON POP UP ON MY MAP

[near furnace]

no

[wet lodge]

is that a "no we dont want it here"?

[near furnace]

no. please follow the rules

[wet lodge]

ok :(
Anything Viking is incredibly cool and I never heard of anyone talk about the Atgeir outside of the Sagas/in relation to the Sagas, except for this game

[near furnace]

yeah but give a finger, someone will take the hand, then the arm. then viking anything...

so need to set the rules to valheim related only

[obtuse ether]

Ended Last Boss with Friends ❤️ What a beautiful thing

[dim python]

how do i move a raft in the right direcion...?

[shell yarrow]

just downloaded the game, wish me luck! might do a little bit of searching to figure some stuff out, i lack common sense.

[regal cave]

Go backwards

[dim python]

ventured out across the ocean for the first time. the wind is almost perfect. i left the black forest to find.... more black forest. 👵

i can't use a hammer to break apart a raft...?

[paper marsh]

No unfortunately you gotta just hit it with weapons until it breaks, then pick up materials

[granite grail]

Nope. For whatever weird reason you have to destroy all the ships manually

[light moat]

I believe the logic is to prevent players from accidentally dismantling their ships

[dim trellis]

cart too

[dim python]

can you fix the raft with the fix button?

[feral grove]

That makes sense. Imagine accidentally dismantling a ship completely loaded with iron.

[shell yarrow]

can i repair the axe or do i just make a new one?

[paper marsh]

You can repair

Make a workbench using the wooden hammer

[feral grove]

You can repair it at a workbench.

[shell yarrow]

oops i'll take this to help channel my bad

[paper marsh]

idk what your map looks like, but the raft is real painful to use

I'd recommend progressing and getting some more materials to upgrade to better seafaring vessels before braving too much ocean

[balmy seal]

rip

[paper marsh]

at least the iron floats

If you don't have fins of destiny or you cherish your boat nails tho, that might be a tough one

[dim trellis]

i lost 80 bronze nail by just a few inches trying to bob down there blub blub 🌊

[granite grail]

If you're near shore, you can use the hoe to raise the ground around it so you can grab your nails

[dim trellis]

thats a good idea but they were lost this time because of some weird mistlands terrain dont know what it is

[dim python]

i found a village full of terrifying poisoned vikings

[granite grail]

Draugr village ❤️ love them

[dim trellis]

sausage time~!

[dim python]

finally! swamp!

[light moat]

Sausage time part 2!

[dim python]

almost died to slime poison

[granite grail]

Poison resistantance is a good idea for early game

[dim python]

i know how to get the mead but i'm not sure about much else

[merry pebble]

Just explore, dont die too much, and have fun! 😄

[silk token]

recipes for everything should be in the mead ketill, you definitely have poison resist unlocked

[dim python]

saw something in the water and was like "oh wow! first serpent!" and then i realized it was leeches 🤢

[granite grail]

Make the mead base in the cauldron and then you have to ferment it in a Fermenter

[dim python]

(i have that mead already made i knew swamp would have poison i just didn't bring it with me for some reason)

a storm is a bad time to go sailing in a raft right

[dim trellis]

yeahhhh

[silk token]

wait why are you in a raft you have bronze!

🐍

[balmy seal]

Some of the mead bases look quite nice to drink

Like cordial or something

[dim python]

i figured it'd be cheaper to make a bunch of wide river rafts than it'd be to make one boat and count on it not turning over

i could make a lot of boats i guess...

[merry pebble]

You really dont have to worry about boats capsizing in Valheim 😄

[balmy seal]

It's happened to me on occasion

[dim python]

what happens to boats during a storm?

[merry pebble]

They just take some dmg by smashing into tall waves, but not too much
In all my years playing i never once had a boat flip on me 🙂

[granite grail]

Unless your boat is destroyed by enemies it will never "turn over". A karve is much better then a raft. Also you can't teleport iron, you will need the storage space from the karve to get iron back from your swamp anyway

[oak river]

First serpent will make sure you know it's there

[balmy seal]

I've had it happen in a Karve, but never a longship

[granite grail]

I feel like that has to be more of a lag/glitch situation

[late trench]

I almost fliped with karve too

Did it happen to anyone with longship or Drakkar?

[naive mountain]

I JUST REALIZED EARLY AXES IS A PUN, ISN'T IT

[dim python]

i dont think you can paddle a karve

[merry pebble]

Yes you can 🙂

Just the one arrow speed, its same for all ships

[dim trellis]

the karve is so fun to sail

probably my favorite thing in the game

[balmy seal]

I prefer the longship for speed

But the karve is cute

[cosmic summit]

green flame metal mace is totally an apple jolly rancher lollipop right?

[dim trellis]

longship take 4 years to turn around

[cosmic summit]

go full sail. crank the wheel all the way to the side. then pull sails all the way up. you should turn pretty quick until you run out of speed

[dim trellis]

sure sure but the karve is more nimble either way

[brittle umbra]

Do you guys prefer the drauger for its psn dmg or huntsman bow for the quieter shot?

[dim trellis]

poison damage bow is yucky imo

[regal cave]

Huntsman all day

[balmy seal]

why

[dim trellis]

makes a stinky smell

can never wash it out

[cosmic summit]

ok i offically dont care if blood gems suck. brutal slayer as a backup for an out of eitr mage is too cool

[chrome badge]

Blood gem is just very niche, you can get insane damage from it if you're a mage especially. Just use the protection bubble and use rotten meat/pukeberries to make your health really low.

[cosmic summit]

how do pukeberries make your health low?

[chrome badge]

They make you vomit up all your food and damage yourself a little bit.

You can accidentally kill yourself if you eat too many.

[cosmic summit]

also the unparalled confidence you gain from wielding such a fine looking weapon cannot be matched

[paper marsh]

Don’t forget the essential step of eating 3 hp foods after puking

[chrome badge]

I don't usually do this myself, I'll utilize the bump I get from the hp loss, and then eat my normal foods afterwards.

[brittle umbra]

Are skoll/hati, Krom, arbalest, or the carapace spear good?

[cosmic summit]

I liked krom

[paper marsh]

Isnt the only health loss from pukeberries just the food loss? So you’ll go from like 200/200 hp to 25/25?

[granite grail]

Bro I am SO frustrated 😭 I am sailing all over for a black forest to find the rock altar. I keep running into Mistlands EVERYWHERE but no substantial forests.....I'm on the far right side......where are the forests 😭 😭 😭

[paper marsh]

All of them are good

Krom I find a bit eh but definitely has its uses

[brittle umbra]

My main is a maxed Frostner, which would you say is a good replacement?

[chrome badge]

Nope they do damage to the player

[brittle umbra]

How does one reliably kill hares?

[cosmic summit]

spike walls scattered all over high traffic areas

I really wish this game had some form of log that tells what damaged me. idk if i just killed myself with a staff of protection or if multiple charred marksmen shot me at the same time.

[granite grail]

Arablast is good for them. But I've been told pufferfish along places they run is a good method and the traps you can make

[paper marsh]

I have a hard time seeing how it’s useful but if it works it works

[chrome badge]

I just don't triple up on health foods ultimately, I still want the stamina to swing away freely.

[safe jacinth]

just started a singleplayer, killed eikther got the power, started sailing out with a raft to find a better island and the first island i see is completly black forest or swamp

on top of that the wind is going directly against me

[grave crow]

why does hugin become disgruntled with you once u kill yagluth lol

like sorry for actually doing odins work

[dim trellis]

just a bad bird 😄

[final bloom]

I enjoy throwing the carapace spears, great sneak dmg starter

[steel mica]

Arabalest: good against gjalls and enemies in the mistlands in general

Skoll and hati: good if you can parry

Krom: the chad sword, high risk high reward, risky due to being slow, high reward with its thrust secondary attack doing FAT damage

Spear: solid weapon in mistlands but lacks a swing arc and is pretty horrible when fighting against multiple enemies

No shame in just sticking to your preferred weapon type

[granite grail]

The Skoll and Hati has like no block armor, how can you parry with it? I maingly use it for other biome mobs

[brittle umbra]

Doesn’t a properly performed parry just do it while ignoring the need for block stat?

[granite grail]

I have no idea since I parry every once a milanmia 😂 If that's how it works that's super neat

[nocturne wolf]

parry bonus multiplies block armor when parrying

[tacit crystal]

Same as with shield - just before the hit lands you.

[charred gulch]

can i join server?

[dark coyote]

"PSL" friend, Parry, Secondary, Loot 😎

[tacit crystal]

Try looking for people to join in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 👍

[charred gulch]

if you guys will open a normal server with very hard deficulty im in

before ww3 atleast finish the north deep boss

[glad dome]

yo do yall think i should stick with the ||huntsmans bow|| or try to go for ||dragur fang?||

im at early mountain stage rn

[nocturne wolf]

I don't make draugr fang. Huntsman bow has a smaller aggro radius on the arrows it shoots, which is very useful in the next biome

[gray sand]

Damage vs. Stealth is your question here.
Pick which matters more to you.

[glad dome]

i imagine damage. im usually parrying anyway and using my melee

[gray sand]

Then you want Fang.

In my latest runs I don't even build bows 😂
Spears until arbalest.

[near furnace]

Welcome to how we at Iron Gate Studios does things

[dim python]

are there ways of getting poison resist at swamp besides the mead

[merry pebble]

Yep, but you need to kill certain big mob first 🙂

And the resist you will get using its material will not be as potent as the one from mead

[nocturne wolf]

but it doesnt cost neck tails

[merry pebble]

Always plenty of those to go around

[dim python]

i'm getting neck tails from around i should be fine

i mean i think some players don't bother picking those up

[polar mulch]

I have a stockpile of them slowly filling up my food chest

Same with honey

[tacit crystal]

They're not required for too many recipes, and their cooked variant grants less stats than boar or deer meat.

Although they can be feed for future mob for taming.

[merry pebble]

Honey is at least useful for pretty much the whole game 😄

[polar mulch]

I don't have many recipes for it and lots of hives

I just harvest it when I go to that base

Which I think is gonna become a farming base

[dim python]

make meads at black forest and eat raw honey before that

[polar mulch]

Ngl I think I have neglected meads

[dim python]

make mead it's peak

[polar mulch]

I didn't have the spare resources for the mead thingy so I just didn't make one

[dim python]

collect more turn on eikthyr power

it makes your mining better in a way i don't understand

[merry pebble]

Now this explains the surplus of honey xD

[polar mulch]

I make trolls do the work for me most of the time

[polar mulch]

I will get one for bonemass tho

Heard the poison is horrible

[merry pebble]

Poison resist will for sure come in handy 🙂

[glad dome]

yeah i never did lol

[glad dome]

it is lol, poison resist makes it so much easier

[polar mulch]

I will also get anything else that seems useful

[tawny blaze]

When i start a new server with friends, we usually build a meadows base close to spawn until about mountains/plains when we’ll go explore for a new south forward base location. I have tended to prefer meadows/plains bordered bases for the farming. How do you all usually play your base placement strategy?

[merry pebble]

Meadows, close to water, opean meadow if possible 😄 thats what i am usually looking for

[tacit crystal]

Close to black forest also I'd like to add.

[merry pebble]

[dim python]

first troll raid! didn't kill any trolls, but died twice!

they didn't destroy my house tho

[glad dome]

sadly ive never exited the meadows permanently lol, though im just now getting to the mountains, ill likely move when i get to the plains

[glad dome]

thats the best outcome you could ask for 😭

[thorn shuttle]

Slaughter isn't the goal, it's structural integrity we worry about 😭

[silk token]

not even one with your atgier?

[dim python]

i managed to almost simultaneously stunlock them but no

they were simul stunlocked for a bit but the moment passed

[thorn shuttle]

What equipment level are you at? bronze?

[dim python]

i was wearing +3 troll and the dverger circlet i forgot to take off

[thorn shuttle]

Fair enough I suppose

An experienced troll slayer to be sure

[dim python]

@silk token is the circlet that bad?

[thorn shuttle]

It provides 0 armour value, it's only really there if you need light whilst building or mining

[silk token]

imean its zero armor so

[dim python]

🫠 i am facepalm worthy

[silk token]

at least you ate food before going out?

[dim python]

ye

i managed to get back to full hp after the first time i died

[silk token]

airte coulda been worse, next time youll eat AND check your armor, every time better.

who knows if that wouldve saved you anyway but its great you at least went to fight them!

[thorn shuttle]

U might also wanna reconsider the Atgeir against trolls, there's no real parrying available until you're at late iron

[dim python]

i was so prepared with stone walls and a moat

[thorn shuttle]

using the atgeir I mean

[thorn shuttle]

I've heard people say a lot of good about using a hoe to build up natural stone walls around your base

[dim python]

i've heard that too but i wanted to go classic

[thorn shuttle]

Honestly so fair

I hate the look of outer walls, bit unfortunate that they're necessary

[dim python]

they make me feel like i'm playing minecraft

[thorn shuttle]

Might just build my next base underneath the elder spawner

[dim python]

that's one of my plans

[silk token]

the atgier is due to timing issues that prevent the likelihood of parrying, more proactive aggression

but i agree perfect world bronze buckler and spear is what i personally use against them

[thorn shuttle]

I been an atgeir hater since day 1 unfortunately

[dim python]

h8r

[silk token]

lol they are pretty great at what they do

[thorn shuttle]

The ONLY two handed weapons I approve of are battleaxes and bows

[dim python]

wow

🤧

[silk token]

well i approve of battleaxe of course.

[thorn shuttle]

Stagbreaker? Iron Sledge? Polearms? P'shaw, send them away!

[dim python]

ehhheh

i like all 3

so excited for iron sledge :3

[thorn shuttle]

I rely far too much on parrying and riposting for my own good though, makes me a sitting duck against aerial foes

Lookin at you, Mountains.

Mountains probably my least favourite biome to be in so far

I've never made it to Caelid

[silk token]

thats why you spear! great for flying and aquatic foes

thats actually why i dont use atgier, because i always have a spear and why have 2 pierce weapons

[thorn shuttle]

No... Spears are for those who daren't get close enough to spit at the foe. i've been mace in their face or sword and board from the get go

Stubbornness has been my downfall on many occasions

[silk token]

well if you really like parrying, you can parry and nuke a troll pretty fast with a spear

[thorn shuttle]

But is it faster with a sword?

Or better yet, more stylish?

[gray sand]

🤔

I love spears specifically for how good they are in melee range.

Second-fastest attspd in the game.

Much stabby-stab.
Very fun.

[burnt glen]

Spears have been fun

[silk token]

no theyre weak to pierce spear is better

[gray sand]

BattleYacks is best though? 😏

[silk token]

correct unless its a single target thing weak to pierce or flying or swimming

[gray sand]

If anyone could find a way to kill flying enemies with a BA, it would be you 😛 💛

[silk token]

i have actually lol more than once

if they get too low

[thorn shuttle]

I defer to my second point my good sir. Style

[grave crow]

the circlet is 2 armor

[dim python]

i can't find my raft. did it probably break apart? or did the storm blow it into the sea?

i found the raft!

[thorn shuttle]

...You have an atgeir and stone walls but you don't have a karve?

[dim python]

how do i survive the serpent

[maiden sable]

build big bote -> shoot serpent -> profit

or just outsail it instead of tanking hits while peppering it with arrows but that requires actual effort

might as well just slap it hard with a big bote

[dim python]

my raft broke. i nearly survived

[maiden sable]

a raft is not a good idea vs a serpent ngl 🤷‍♂️

can outrun it cant tank hits

[dim python]

the wind was in my face

[maiden sable]

💀 💀

well even with wind in ur back i dont think a raft is quick enough

i could be wrong though

[dim python]

will the serpent still be there if i try to go back out with another raft

[tacit crystal]

If it was spawned during daytime then yes.

[dim python]

it seemed to be a night serpent

[tacit crystal]

If night time then it has despawned.

[thorn shuttle]

Raft is not quick enough

Learned that the hard way

[dim python]

if i sunk in a carve imagine all the lost garbo

[maiden sable]

rest in pieces

[thorn shuttle]

Yeah but at least in a karve you have the option to outrun 😭

[maiden sable]

in a carve ud have turned to have favourable wind and peppered that snek with arrows. big diff

[thorn shuttle]

Also if you want to avoid serpents, try stay closer to land as you're sailing. The only way to get them close to land is the Abyssal Harpoon

[maiden sable]

ud have won

[thorn shuttle]

and even without the scales from it, the meat itself is SUPER good

[tacit crystal]

Karve will leave loot boxes if it breaks.

[maiden sable]

and its a lot of meat at once too

[thorn shuttle]

I forget if it outranks plains meat off the top of my head

[maiden sable]

5 or 7 pieces a serpent i think

[maiden sable]

rly ? damn

[thorn shuttle]

It far outranks plains food

I am just a fool

20 more max health than plains meat and 7 more stamina

And only 1 hp/tick less regen

[maiden sable]

seems like i should farm more serpent meat 🤷‍♂️ . ive saved mine so far for mountain dungeons

cant hurt to have a bit more

[thorn shuttle]

you should be farming it anyway for serpent stew

[maiden sable]

are there any other anomalies in the food system like that ?

cuz uhh serpent is i think swanp tier so its basically two tiers better than it should be then ? any other thing like it ?

[thorn shuttle]

Not that I know of

[maiden sable]

kk

[thorn shuttle]

technically it is, but it's only classified as that because you're found to be sailing in order to get to the Swamps. Serpent meat is fantastic all the way through the game, at least up to Mistlands

[maiden sable]

well i never needed swamp tier food in the swamp tbh 🤷‍♂️

as said i saved my stew for later 👴

[thorn shuttle]

Cooked Serpent Meat is already better than the base meat you get in Mistlands

[dim python]

sailing the sea is so much fun with music on (provided there aren't serpents)

[plucky rock]

the ||battering ram|| should be able to hurt enemies

tried to use it on eikthier

[dim python]

what happens when you have full sails out while heading directly into the wind

[nocturne wolf]

it works on stone golems because they're not immune to pickaxe damage

you can kill them in one hit

[abstract warren]

Basically nothing

[grave crow]

with the longship, if you have more than 4 stacks of items will it leave extra/bigger cargo boxes? or will those items be lost, never tried it

[dim python]

i found a swamp i don't have to cross the sea to get to ☺️

[tacit crystal]

If there are more than 4 stacks of items it leaves more boxes.

[grave crow]

Polearms are aura manifested in a weapon 😤 most effective melee weapon on the battlefield in history

[grave crow]

okok that is very good

[thorn shuttle]

Of real world history maybe, but you know what's cooler?

sword n board

[dim python]

you ever take shelter on an island instead of in a house during the rain and just wait for the daytime

[grave crow]

i am more of a sword person myself so i can agree

[dim python]

how do i raise earth?

[plucky rock]

groudon

[steel forge]

Work bench and a hoe

[dim python]

ok thanks

[steel forge]

Need stone as well

[dim python]

right

[nimble aurora]

i just found a sealed tower that was completely empty of enemies, even the miniboss

[chrome badge]

I cleared that one for you, you're welcome.

[nimble aurora]

ive never had that happen before

ive seen dungeons take a few seconds to load enemies in

but ive been here for a solid 10min

[chrome badge]

I haven't either to be honest, is it marked as a mysterious location?

[nimble aurora]

yeah i went to hildir and got the map clue

[steel forge]

The important question is are the chicken eggs still there

[nimble aurora]

yeah all the chests are intact

[chrome badge]

That's strange, was it a previously explored area?

[nimble aurora]

i got me eggs

[nimble aurora]

nah, only just got here

[strange cradle]

That really is weird.

[chrome badge]

Could be a valuable seed to be honest

[strange cradle]

Yup.

[chrome badge]

May want to add that to #1202740443352137838

[nimble aurora]

my game is slightly modded tbf

[strange cradle]

Aha.

[nimble aurora]

but like not heavily

and nothing that would break spawns like that

[strange cradle]

Mods killed the mobs. 😉

[chrome badge]

[strange cradle]

It's the mods.

[chrome badge]

Typically oddities are because of mods.

[nimble aurora]

the only non QoL mod i have is EpicLoot

[strange cradle]

Trust me, it's the mods.

[nimble aurora]

oh i dont doubt it

ive had mod issues before but never like that

[strange cradle]

I hope at least this isn't your first time through. 😉

[nimble aurora]

nah im coming up on 2k hrs

probably done like 20-30 sealed towers

[strange cradle]

Then knock yourself out. 😄

[nimble aurora]

modding games on the first playthrough is punishable by public stoning imo

[steel forge]

Haldor and bog witch on starter island pretty typical? Was thinking about adding the seed im on since it has that as well as three leviathans off the coast a bit that are in swimming distance from each other. I’m currently avoiding looking up seed info though.

[strange cradle]

That is nice. Depends on how big the starter "island" really is. It's probably more like a big continent. 😉

And I would say it is non-typical for "normal"-sized continents/islands.

[steel forge]

It’s definitely bigger haven’t explored it all yet the three leviathans are what mainly caught my attention so close to spawn.

[strange cradle]

That is very nice. I would add it, tbh. Big starter continents are always nice to have.

[steel forge]

Probably later I’m not ready to spoil the seed yet on my 2nd playthrough and I looked up the seed on my first and wish I hadn’t.

[strange cradle]

Yeah, I've never done it. I like the exploring aspect of Valheim.

[thorn shuttle]

Only time I've done it personally was when we were in mountains with no Haldor in sight

[grim wagon]

Just beat bonemass, what mountain weapon should I get?

[dim python]

i think mountains have silver and i keep hearing people mention silver sword

and obviously frostner dingus

[tacit crystal]

What weapons have you mainly used?

[dim python]

(sarcasm in the latter)

[grim wagon]

Doesn't matter, im open to any weapons

Im just going with whatever

[dim python]

are you open to our lord and savior frostner

(using christian address in the viking server to be less credible for ironic purposes)

[chrome badge]

Iron Mace is handy all around in the mountains to start, coupled with an Iron Buckler, you'll be in good standing.

[dim python]

wait... so mountains really do have iron in them

[chrome badge]

No the Swamps do, the biome before Mountains.

[dim python]

do swamps also have cold resist potions and gear

[nimble aurora]

from my experience, Haldor on spawn island is common but Bog witch isnt

[chrome badge]

Frost Resistance Potions yes, the gear comes from the mountains.

[tacit crystal]

Any can work, but personally can recommend spear and knife.

Battleaxe is super too, also Frostner is cool option.

[nimble aurora]

for mountains specifically or for the whole game? im doing a spear/knife/bow run and im a little scared for Yag

[tacit crystal]

You asked for mountain weapons.

Pierce weapons suffer against Yagluth tho.

[grim wagon]

And what about armour? Silver or fenris?

[nimble aurora]

well no i myself didnt, i was just curious

[chrome badge]

That wasn't Psycho24u

[nimble aurora]

hopefully silver knife can do well

[chrome badge]

Depends on your playstyle, are you good with dodging or more of a tank focused fighter?

[tacit crystal]

Personally I go Fenris.

[grim wagon]

Both really

[tacit crystal]

Speed boost and fire resistance are nice.

Also if you like fists then Flesh rippers are good.

[chrome badge]

Probably Fenris then

[grim wagon]

Okay, thanks

[balmy light]

is troll armor, finewood bow, copper knife, bronze shield and bronze mace enough for elder

[tacit crystal]

Weapon types I mentioned work well for the whole game.

[nimble aurora]

true that, im very much enjoying spears with the wolf trinket and vile set

[light moat]

Yeah, but you also want to make sure you’re eating the best available foods. Diet > gear generally speaking

[balmy light]

yea ill make some yummy foods when i can

[dim python]

you might want a bronze axe and bronze helmet

[balmy light]

why just bronze helmet? and yes ofc ill make axe

[dim python]

bronze helm gives good armor for no movement penalty. the biggest upside of full troll is the sneakiness, which is completely unnecessary when fighting the elder

[balmy light]

oh ok

[grave crow]

upgraded troll should be fine the armor diff wont be too much

stamina i would say is also more important in this fight

you dont have to make anything for it but a mead may help

[dim python]

i mean i ate carrot soup

[grave crow]

or yeah staminous food lol

i dont really make meads until bonemass

[balmy light]

yea well i already have a level 2 troll hood so ill just use that

[dim python]

if possible you want to upgrade the whole troll set to level 3

[balmy light]

yeah i will if i could i find trolls sadly i have the smallest black forest known to man with 0 dungeons

i have found 2 dungeons and 1 of them didnt have any cores so i only have 7

[dim python]

small black forest 0 dungeons found the elder 🫠

wow

[grave crow]

never heard of that rng

the difference between rng in some maps is wild

[balmy light]

can you help me ill send my map in the help channel

nvm i cant send pictures

[tacit crystal]

You can in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202267437647527977

[balmy light]

i sent it to screenshots if u wouldnt mind checking it out

[tacit crystal]

You could also use bear armor pieces if you have killed some bears already. Only full bear set will grant the bonuses and weaknesses, so you'll be fine wearing one or two pieces of the armor set.

But in any case, bosses are balanced around having quality 1 equipment of the same biome, so you could think upgrades as just bonuses for that.

[grave crow]

thats good to know

[tacit crystal]

Also, no one can really tell you where to exactly find more black forest, you could expand the unexplored areas in middle near mountains or expand further.

[merry pebble]

I would say that your best bet would be to look if the starter island continues north and if not then go exploring for another island

[balmy light]

thanks

[distant stream]

Is there a mod that add filters to crafting tables?

[tacit crystal]

Peeps in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966 might know.

[distant stream]

Thx sir!

[dim python]

swamp so far is actually really fun

personal opinion: i think sausages are made of entrails because of devs commentary on the true nature of the dark history of irl sausage

yes.

[radiant cloak]

I think the game is just very poorly optimized for NVIDIA

I have fps issues and my GPU / CPU / RAM utilization never goes above 30% they all sit around 30% while I get like 45 fps at my base

It’s like the game doesn’t know how to push down the gas pedal so it just shits itself and drools

[near furnace]

it is not optimized for any GPU

but valheim is very CPU intensive

[radiant cloak]

Then it should hit 90%+ utilization before lagging

[near furnace]

and what would the GPU do? help out with calulations that the processor needs to do?

[radiant cloak]

I have an i9-14900K lmao

[near furnace]

isn't it good that the game doesn't burn your graphicscard to the ground?

[radiant cloak]

No

[near furnace]

so you rather have the game be GPU intensive than CPU intensive?

[radiant cloak]

I have a nice pc bro there’s no rationalizing this game with Roblox graphics getting 45fps especially not with my sticks and stones base, I just killed the elder and don’t even have a garden etc

[near furnace]

CPU cost like 1/3 of GPU prices. before the current AI crazy buying spree started

[radiant cloak]

It’s not CPU intensive it just doesn’t utilize the CPU

in my case lol

[near furnace]

and what CPU do you got?

[radiant cloak]

My CPU at 30% utilization, 45c, getting 45fps

[radiant cloak]

I9-14900K

[near furnace]

and RAM? GPU?

you might want to look at some optimization videos

and update BIOS

[radiant cloak]

64GB 6000Mhz CL30 RAM, 4070 Ti Super, BIOS fully updated, edited boot.config

[near furnace]

stop edit the boot.config

most of those edits are pre unity 6

[radiant cloak]

Alright I’ll reset it and see how it goes

[near furnace]

just validate the game files. it fixes most

[radiant cloak]

Nope

I just want the game to use my hardware but it doesn’t seem to want to

[thorny saffron]

yeah the optimization for valheim is bad

[radiant cloak]

I have no clue. Tried D3D12 vs D3D11, fullscreen optimizations on / off, windowed game mode optimizations on / off, messing with NVIDIA Control Panel

[radiant cloak]

I mean bad optimization is easier to live with when it’s at least using my GPU and CPU to their potential lmao

Also the GPU is designed to run at 99% utilization, the GPU should be the bottleneck in a good PC build

Every AAA game I play my GPU is at like 99% my CPU is at like 10% and my GPU stays around 65c

———

Anyways, I do think it’s an NVIDIA thing because my wife’s pc has a 5060 Ti / Ryzen 7 7700X and she has the same problems

My buddy has a Radeon 9070XT and his game is buttery smooth the whole time

I thought Vulkan had known issues on this update so it was advised to use dx

[plucky rock]

bites you

[near furnace]

wierd. I got a 7700X and the game just works perfectly fine 🤔

with a nvidia 4080 super

so I think it's something with settings being the culprit

[near furnace]

you know by saying that, you're following a meme thrope right?

"This game is so unoptimized" are often said by people who buy expensive hardware, and then they don't setup or anything

for example in Europe, most motherboard manufacturers don't let you use the overclock profile on your RAM

so you buy 6000MHZ ram, but they only run at base speed

[cold wraith]

Speaking of settings and 'lag' sometimes I get massive input lag. Keyboard commands seem to get delayed or 'stuck', when the rest of the system responds fine (other software, mouse movements, etc)

Is there a setting I should reset or play with? I dont think its a driver issue.

[near furnace]

and you need to manually go into BIOS and change the profile to overclock

ALOT

yes and no

depends on where the FPS are

but BRB. it's dinnertime

[dim python]

boutta make my first sausages 🌭

[grave crow]

or maybe its a more or less accurate observation from people who play other similar games and notice differences in optimization

[balmy light]

should i use my last troll hides for cape or upgrading the rest of my set, i have deer hide cape already and i can upgrade that

[frosty plover]

Hi, is it possible to mute game when on alt tab?

[burnt belfry]

I had a problem which was identical in symptoms. I eventually found that disabling the MS Xbox Game Bar application stopped the lag spikes for me. That may not be the root of your problem. I saw the Game Bar service restarting every time I had a lag spike in event viewer.

[cold wraith]

Thanks, I will try that later

[vast jewel]

What was the new update?

[tacit crystal]

Upcoming or latest?

[vast jewel]

Latest. I got a small 1 today on Steam.

[tacit crystal]

Latest was the 19th of Feb, which added some fixes for the celebratory update added in 2nd of Feb.

When did you play last time?

[vast jewel]

I've played before that, it could have been a very small patch.

#screenshots I put proof of the update in there.

[tacit crystal]

Played before or after February updates?

That could also be just Steam doing Steam things.

[vast jewel]

Yes.

I was playing yesterday.

[glad dome]

do you guys have any tips on getting ||silver|| easier?

[gray sand]

What's your roadblock with it currently?

[paper marsh]

finding it or mining it?

[glad dome]

i cant really seem to keep things off me when mining it. finding and mining isnt the issue, i just get attacked a lot during it kinda

[paper marsh]

Can put up some walls around it before you start mining

Or place some campfires around the area (They block mobs from spawning)

But you may inevitably have some danger nearby when you mine

I'd probably recommend walls for giving you a bit of a breather

[gray sand]

Same method as copper: build a wall around the vein. Will stop everything aside from drake.

Can build a make-shift hut if you want to stop everything.

Enemies that cannot see you will not attack.

Just put a chest and a portal inside the hut. Store all silver in the chest, portal out all the stone.
When you've completely broken the vein and all that remains is silver, move it to the boat (if you are playing without Portal Everything turned on).

[exotic cradle]

I'll suggest the opposite, dig a hole.

Push whatever golem is bugging you in it, that way it can't attack you and it will prevent other golem spawns

Drakes would also focus on it giving you a bit of time to prep

[plucky rock]

how rude

[warm sphinx]

Damn, now I feel like getting a golem pet

[lone rampart]

I love my pet golem. I take him on long walks around the mountaintop every time I need more stone.

[near furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IBkMW39egU

but FPS is a lie sometimes

valheim will give you a ton of FPS when it's not under hardware strain. FPS you basicly don't need. hence I would recommend turning on Vsync or use the ingame limiter

but things people miss
BIOS changes to enable XMP / RAM overclock
BIOS change to enable Reziseable BAR

for example

XMP is what the RAM manufactures sells you

but the BIOS setting sometimes are set to only use base settings

it's mostly a EU varrenty thing

[warm sphinx]

How did I only just now notice that greydwarf brutes have a dandelion on top of their head? That's why they keep dropping them...

Also, do you think the bog witch gets visits from trolls? It would explain the love potion... Unless it's a greydwarf thing

[last otter]

Hey! A while back I was looking on Google for ValHeim fanart; and I just wanted to see if you guys have seen these pieces before. They go hard, lemme find them real quick.

Is there a fanart channel?

[near furnace]

only for selfmade #fanart

else we would get spam

[last otter]

Hmm.

Well, I didn’t make it.

Super cool, though.

[livid drift]

LF anyone **DM **me down for anything

[pliant hatch]

Most likely a steam related update. Like shaders or something like that.

Patches related to the game will always being posted in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 and https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202170015671914506

[near furnace]

that's why we have #1024264966712340510 channel

[regal cave]

I think theyre down for ANYTHING (stealing your money)

[oak river]

Does breaking a cart destroy what's in it????

My 3 stacks of silver are gone

[paper marsh]

No

[oak river]

Oh the crate just clipped inside a rock

Carts are so annoying

[agile kelp]

Hello there!
Im curious whats your take on this:

1. game allows you to train all kinds of weaponry with TWIG and Archery stand
2. Nothing lets you train in such way magic, which are purlyfight related skills
3. There are couple workarounds how to train magic efficiently:
   3.1. Elemental Magic - you can capture Stone Golem in a pit and hit him with all day long with Frost Wand - it wont kill him, yet hits give you exp in safe way
   3.2. Blood Magic - summon Poison Blob (from blob bomb), then place to next it TWIG and then summon Skeleton - if position properly, Skeleton will hit TWIG while trying to aim for blob - Skeleton can do it all day long and generate exp for Blood Magic in efficient, controlled way

How do you feel about #3? You are not doing anything that games doesnt allow, heck - you need to do a lot of preparations to create those creative, „training” setups. But some players might consider it as hacking, missing the point of the game.
What are your opinnions about this?

[warm sphinx]

I do hope there would be more "official" ways to train blood magic especially. Or just a rework of XP in general. For example I think crossbows should be easier to level up than bows because you get xbows later (and historically they were easier to use)

And you shouldn't need to become a necromancer just to level up your staff of protection

[paper marsh]

1. Not a fan. Skills should be gained from actual fighting

2. Fixes problem with #1 for at least one class of weapons. Good.

3. Negates the positives of point 2 :(

[gray sand]

I would say "remove TWIG" but that is just me 🤷‍♂️

[agile kelp]

But if you die a lot (e.g. exploring new biome) TWIG might be a way to catch up lost lvls

[paper marsh]

Act as a basically harmless mob

So you can stand there and hit it for weapon skills

[gray sand]

I refer to TWIG as the "We have Bonemass at home." version of skill training.

[paper marsh]

Agreed, Twig makes death semi-meaningless

Best remove it

[agile kelp]

Even better

[still birch]

Skill training dummy so you don't zhave to fence up draugr spawns to practise shooting or such

[agile kelp]

Because you tire less and it doesnt die

I would agree with removing twig if valheim lets you gain skills more effitiently - e.g. Each biome mobs should produce more exp

[gray sand]

Game isn't balanced around skills. They are just free buffs 🤷‍♂️

[paper marsh]

I do think skill gain needs to be rebalanced. Some things level up very fast (spear) while others levle up very slowly (dodge, blood magic)

But I don't want mechanics for afk / clicliking left click for an hour farming of skills

[agile kelp]

Is it climatic if Im after Ashlands and I go to forest to harass Greys to gain lost exp?

[gray sand]

Idk why you would do that.

[paper marsh]

More anti-climactic

But nothing wrong with that

Greydwarves also give useful drops

[agile kelp]

Yeah, but if I want lvl up in skill, Forest and Ashlands mobs are same, just the latter puts you in greater danger

Give me higher reward for higher risk

[gray sand]

Genuine: How are they the same?

[agile kelp]

In exp gaining

[gray sand]

Per hit? Yes. Per mob? No.

Later biomes naturally contain more exp because mobs take more hits.

[paper marsh]

As long as you use a weak weapon so you're not instakilling them yea

It does feel a bit off

[tacit crystal]

Wooden weapons vs. Greydwarves.

[paper marsh]

Doesn't help either that the wooden weapons were added

[agile kelp]

Istnt that just like Twig? 😄

Greydwarves are even made of wood and hate

[tacit crystal]

They spawn for free, but T.W.I.G. requires finewood, bronze nails and ectoplasm to build.

[agile kelp]

Yes, but „training” with both feels the same

[paper marsh]

Seen quite a few suggestions to make stronger mobs give more xp per hit, which I personally agree with

[agile kelp]

Then I can sit on Ashlands all day long if I see it pays off

[paper marsh]

Might also help TWIG be useful for early-game / if you lose a lot of levels too, but not useful for farming to 100 because maybe it's just like... swamp tier enemy xp

Maybe Black Forest, given how easy it is to farm twig

[agile kelp]

Black forest, even all materials are available there

[gray sand]

Wooden weapons vs. Bonemass 😏

[agile kelp]

Ok, so lets push movement of giving more exp for higher tier mobs? ;p

[paper marsh]

I've been supporting the movement so far with upvotes

[gray sand]

Meh 🤷‍♂️

[warped mauve]

Man, iron is too hard to get for things to take so much of it to make. 30 iron to make axe? Bogus.

[paper marsh]

Maybe a bit hard, but I find it relatively fast to farm Iron

So much better than bronze anyways

[agile kelp]

Get used to it - you need iron basicly whole game

[paper marsh]

It's just important not to fall in the trap of building 5 different weapons and full armor and two shield and blabla and fully upgrading it

Just make what you need

[umbral minnow]

Yeah, especially once you get the bone. That's when you learn just how much iron is sitting around the swamp besides the crypts XD

[agile kelp]

I consume it in my structures like chips, while bronze rarely is needed :p

[warped mauve]

Those chests are a nice break, sometimes 30 iron in them. Without chests, how much do you guys typically farm from a crypt? 50-100 right?

[agile kelp]

120-150 with chests, hard to say without them

I think 20-60 from chests

[warped mauve]

Whaaaat? In the ground like silver u mean? I've been delaying Bonemass because don't want to deal with new raids

[warped mauve]

Ok thx

[paper marsh]

I always skip bonemass bc of the raids

[umbral minnow]

yep

speaking of silver, it was quite funny to think that regular mountains hardly have nests and veins, but the one mountain I visited with Moder's altar had 4 nests and over 10 veins 💀

[thorny saffron]

yeah moders mountains has a lot of shit

[umbral minnow]

as expected of the Mountain Mother's domain

[livid drift]

LFG Anyone DM me Down For Anything 🙂

[regal cave]

Down to give me money?

[sharp bluff]

the duality of metals
bronze is aids to get but you only need a couple hundred, ever
iron you can get several thousand in a single swamp and you still end up short xd

[thorny saffron]

imagine this message with no context

[umbral minnow]

fr tho I saw the memes
now I experience them XD

[thorny saffron]

the iron memes are kinda exaggerated imo

[sharp bluff]

depends on how much you like to build tbh

[thorny saffron]

i got through the game with like maybe 3 or 4 stacks

no building

[sharp bluff]

no iron chests? man, you are insane

[thorny saffron]

bm

[sharp bluff]

and with that i mean a complete lunatic

[paper marsh]

I maybe make like 1 or 2 iron chests, sometimes none

[quasi night]

3-4 stacks is a fully upgraded atgeir

[sharp bluff]

i aint delaying decent chest by two biomes

[paper marsh]

Waiting until blackmetal just feels easier

[thorny saffron]

only got the club

[paper marsh]

You can also make iron chests, then swap them out for blackmetal later

[sharp bluff]

black metal is the only metal to farm itself

[thorny saffron]

and every player switching to be a mage is a canon event

[sharp bluff]

who doesnt love some fireballs and barriers?

[thorny saffron]

and a troll on steriods

[sharp bluff]

barriers which enable you to parry attacks you shouldnt be able to parry

[thorny saffron]

*Steroids

[thorny saffron]

and becoming a walmart elder

[naive mountain]

Is it possible to get iron before fighting the elder?

[sharp bluff]

yes, but its a pain in the arse

[thorny saffron]

nope

you would need to kill a lotta blobs

[sharp bluff]

or do blind digs for ground deposits

[gray sand]

There are scrap piles in the general swamp. You do not have to kill oozers.

[quasi night]

does the stagbreaker react to iron ground deposit ? didn't try myself

[sharp bluff]

but seriously, id rather fight the elder naked

[thorny saffron]

elder isnt that difficult

just takes a lotta time

[paper marsh]

believe so yea

[gray sand]

I'd actually rush and kill Elder with flint stuff because his power makes gathering bronze easier.

[naive mountain]

I just want a stonecutter before I have to worry about getting besieged by an entire zombie apocalypse

[sharp bluff]

a mace will do you better

[dark coyote]

a hoe will do you better

[gray sand]

In this case, there is nothing wrong with just gifting yourself exactly 2 iron.

[quasi night]

honestly you don't need to worry about raids, the mobs are more attracted by you than your base, and you can kite them for the whole duration

[paper marsh]

I worry a ton about raids

But that's also because I have some game modifiers and self-imposed rules

[dim python]

i think i just used stagbreaker to find my first iron vein

it's too wet down there to keep digging 😢

[chrome badge]

My cat when he plays with bubbles on top of the bath be like:

[naive mountain]

I'm playing on easy but last time I got raided they killed all my boars so I might be disproportionately worried about monsters wrecking my base

Oops run-on sentence

[quasi night]

understandable

[sharp bluff]

eh, its fine
didnt even end up as a second line

[quasi night]

(the sentence and not wanting your boars to die ^^)

[chrome badge]

Did you not take it seriously, because the raid will just follow you if you meet it head on.

[sharp bluff]

also native speakers of certain languages, especially germanic ones, tend to end up with long sentences

[dim python]

stagbreaker seems very effective versus slimes...

[sharp bluff]

any blunt dmg obliterates them and a bronze mace will kill them in one combo

[prime moth]

i just use the special attack of bronze mace on em

no need for poison pots till the boss usually

also root mask

[sharp bluff]

i usually grab the mask, aye
root armour is better than iron anyway

[dim python]

||root armor is poison resistant||! i remember now!

[sharp bluff]

and, perhaps more importantly: pierce resist

[mental oak]

Can anyone be real with me, will valheim ever be finished

[eternal blade]

mask is poison resist, chest is pierce resist, legs don't really do anything on their own

[dim python]

oh god i have to ||kill "abominstions"|| 😨

[sharp bluff]

les are swamp tier armour that doesnt need iron, so there is that

[eternal blade]

yeah, but there's still -2% move speed. Unless going for whole set, it's better to use bear legs

[gray sand]

Mask is fine, but I really hope they move "chest" into "full set bonus" because a single piece being that powerful is nuts.

[thorny saffron]

true

theyll nerf root chest in 1.0 probably

its literally viable till ashlands 💀

[livid drift]

LF anyone Val DM me, no bots

[sharp bluff]

id rather have it as is cuz options are always welcome and it has a maintenance cost in ashlands

[thorny saffron]

enchanting items would be really cool

[strange cradle]

It's only viable if you literally dodge-roll everything, in which case you don't need it. 😛 At least, IMHO.

[dim python]

i hear that when venturing out into the swamp ||abominations will find you?||

[warm sphinx]

Not exactly. You need to walk around to find them. Staying in one spot won't work.
But they might see you before you see them

[dim python]

if the swamp is really small i'm guessing i gotta find a bigger swamp than the one i'm in?

[regal cave]

Not necessarily. One time I found a small swamp with an abomination spawn, I cut every tree chopped every rock and would farm it / blood bags / entrails there

But if you dont find one then probably

[sage shadow]

guys how to trigger snow golems in mountains?

[paper marsh]

Gotta find a pretty tall mountain

[sage shadow]

do they respawn after i kill em?

[paper marsh]

Whenever you see obsidian, you are getting close to high enough. Go a bit higher.

They're not super rare, but not super common. They do respawn on tall mountains yeah

They also sometimes spawn in front of log cabins, but that's a one time spawn so they won't respawn there after you kill them

[sage shadow]

do they have trigger mechanism or they just spawn

[paper marsh]

They spawn anywhere in the mountains above 120m. Only one can spawn in an area tho, so you won't see groups of them walking around

I think when they spawn they are always buried in the snow (just like abominations) so yeah you do have to go close to them to trigger them to unburrow

[umbral minnow]

Find a large mountain, run up to the highest parts, keep going till you hear a rumbling sound (it's probably rising from the ground behind you XD)

[rain flare]

Speaking of mountains, just finished taming 3 wolves between days 11-12

Was exploring and found 4 of them milling about

They started walking over so I quickly assessed my option and found a reasonably sized beech tree

I climbed it using wooden platforms and threw food at the wolves until I had 3 of the original 4 tamed 🥰

They have now had 4 babies so we are up to 7 wolves 🥳

[sage shadow]

i had 4 wolfs
3 of em died to skeleton raid

[rain flare]

You had wolves, why no pen? 😂😭

[sage shadow]

wym?

[sharp bluff]

your wolves dont live in the trench?

[sage shadow]

i built stone cage for em but they broke it

[rain flare]

You built a small hut or something for them to live in right?

You can’t rely on wolves killing raids without overwhelming numbers - like 30-50
And even then you will lose a LOT of them

[rain flare]

Bigger cage or a trench so they won’t aggro on raids

[sage shadow]

i was planning on moving my base tho
so its not an issue
also they were basic wolfs so its okay

[rain flare]

And keep breeding them - you can always let the extras walk around to snag stray enemies but keep a breeding core somewhere safe ❤️

[rain flare]

It’s your 30 minutes of doing nothing while you tame new ones 🤷‍♂️

Have you found the bog witch by the by?

Hate auto correct 😂

[sage shadow]

no, i found 2 swamps but no witches

[rain flare]

Keep searching - she sells something that reduces taming time by half - so 15 minutes instead of 30

[paper marsh]

I always feel like taming animals could be cool, but can never find enough incentive to actually incentivize myself to do it

At least until getting ||rideable|| ones

[sage shadow]

i have a mod that reduces taming time so idk
but i need bog witch anyways

[rain flare]

I just tame wolves cause it’s tradition for me to do it before I leave the Bronze Age ❤️

[sage shadow]

question: do i need go far away from mountain to let mobs respawn?

[rain flare]

No - just walk around 64 meters from the initial area where they were

The mobs respawn as long as you are out of range

[sage shadow]

alr

[warped remnant]

expanding a island is quit a lot of work because to perfect measuring it for the base on it

[rain flare]

I love the lox 🥰
So much easier to get them for food if tamed and I can use the butchers knife

[sage shadow]

use planbuild for it. its good and time saving

[warped remnant]

planbuild?

[sage shadow]

mod

[warped remnant]

i do not use mods for valheim it so good how it is

[sage shadow]

that let's you play around with environment

[sage shadow]

choices.

[warped remnant]

but i was thinking if i want to build in the mid of my new base a tree symbol of or the actual big tree

[nocturne wolf]

spawn sfx_gjall_alerted ZSFX.m_maxPitch::3.0 ZSFX.m_minPitch::3.0

[weary turret]

Elo just wanted to ask anyone here if I'm missing out on a great item or something that's for progression if I don't go to any caves on mountains.

[paper marsh]

There's some pretty cool gear in mountain caves that a lot of people like, but not anything progression tied

Just some other weapon/armor options

[granite grail]

Not technically. But you will miss out on one of the fastest sets in the game and some nice decor items

[paper marsh]

Mountain caves are also the coolest dungeons in the game, imo

[weary turret]

Oh ye forgot about that set, besides the recipes I can get from the crystals are there other items in the cave for decor. Also tysm

[midnight roost]

you're missing out on frostcave furries

[paper marsh]

some red curtains (and possibly carpets?)

idk, I don't pay attention to cosmetics much

[weary turret]

For real, 2nd for me would be the ones in the mistlands, expected more cool stuff on the ashlands one 😔

[paper marsh]

Ashlands had a lot of cool stuff

But yeah the forts and dungeons really killed it for me. Bland as can be

[weary turret]

Those furries are quite fast really scary on max difficulty 🫪

[weary turret]

Ohhh ye forgot I can get those there, thanks been a while since I last played my group of builders would definitely appreciate those, me included

[grim wagon]

Someone give me a mountains weapon to use, I cant decide

[midnight roost]

A weapon for the mountains or a weapon you can craft from the mountain biome resourrces

[grim wagon]

Just hop the attack, so easy, and use ooze bombs and poison arrows. Then they are very easy

[grim wagon]

Thank you so much for the help!

[granite grail]

Frost caves aren't hard! If you see a fire breathing cultist, wait out of range for their first attack, and then gang up on them. Or frost arrows absolutely destroy them in 30 seconds and they're so frozen they don't move

[gritty falcon]

Prayge we get even half of the new biome update soon, I want to start a new world but I feel like I should just wait

but waiting is killing me lol

[granite grail]

Silver sword I'm using it still in Ashalnds as my primary!

[midnight roost]

No i meant what do you mean with a mountains weapon lol, do you want tips regarding the weapon to use in the mountain biome or a weapon to craft with silver

[sharp bluff]

if i remember correctly cultists get absolutely bodied by frostner

[grim wagon]

Like a weapon i can craft in the mountains

[midnight roost]

frostner is really good for the plains biome, silver sword is good too

[weary turret]

Playing on normal difficulty rn though so I be chilling with my frostner probably once i visit the caves, was messy on my last max diff run though just going in bravely without much prep

[sharp bluff]

The dead fear silver. Remind them why.

[midnight roost]

I did most of the mountains biome with an iron mace tbf, worked pretty well

[grim wagon]

What about weapon for the mountains

To use in the mountain

Im getting bored of my iron mace

[weary turret]

Mace pretty good, still use it on plains and great for mountains for me atleast

[midnight roost]

silver sword then

[weary turret]

Oh silver sword or frostner

[paper marsh]

fang spear or flesh rippers

[grim wagon]

Are the enemies not immune to spirit though?

[paper marsh]

They are but the spirit weapons are still alright

The enemies in caves are not immune to spirit

Still I prefer the non-spirit weapons of mountains for mountain shenanigans

[sharp bluff]

similar to frostner the base stats besides spirit are strong enough for the spirit to not matter

its just an extra FU to any undead

[midnight roost]

you can try out the battleaxe too, never used it but looks cool i guess

if you're getting bored of the same weapon i'd just try random ones out and make it more interesting

mace is just too versatile

[weary turret]

Oh ye does silver sword have freeze effect too, i forgot

[grim wagon]

It does?

[gray sand]

No, it is just spirit.

[weary turret]

Oh I see

[midnight roost]

that's just frostner

[gray sand]

Mistwalker is the sword with both.

[weary turret]

Makes sense would be too op and make frostner lose its uniqueness

[grim wagon]

I like the idea of the battle axe, and but the sword is also cool. Mainly because I want to use a greatsword and also using a shield is alluring for survivability

Especially if I need to remind the undead about their hatred for silver later in

[nocturne wolf]

silver sword is good for the plains boss and some ashlands enemies

[grim wagon]

Is the battle axe still viable for the same enemies?

Since it does spirit as well

[nocturne wolf]

the battleaxe doesn't gain spirit when it's upgraded so if you upgrade the sword you get a lot more damage against enemies that aren't immune

[grim wagon]

Ohhh, I sea

[nocturne wolf]

the sword is expensive though

[grim wagon]

See*

[regal cave]

With friends it is a nice incentive

[grim wagon]

I can see that

40 is crazy

[nocturne wolf]

and that's just for level 1

[grim wagon]

Isnt it like 160 to fully upgrade?

[sharp bluff]

frostner aint cheap either

[prime moth]

i feel like silver is just dumped into a few items

rather than a little across many items

[grim wagon]

Right

[paper marsh]

True, or maybe 0.5 resources

[sharp bluff]

its also only required in fairly low quantities (160 for a weapon sucks but its not like the hundreds of iron you need)

[warped remnant]

i think there should be more decoration items for silver

[sharp bluff]

im glad i dont need more of it tbh
its a pain to farm

[near furnace]

you think?

[warped remnant]

do you think

[near furnace]

I don't think what you think

[prime moth]

candle stick?

fancy silverwork items would be kinda cute

[warped remnant]

that was my idea to

[tacit crystal]

Battleaxe is nice weapon. Great against crowds and has higher stagger.

[paper marsh]

Yeah I can get by fine on like 60 silver per world

But 60 iron would be a no go

[sharp bluff]

60 iron doesnt even get you out of the swamp...

[near furnace]

hanging 100 silver swords on the wall is also decorative

[sharp bluff]

and you would dig up half the world in the process

[near furnace]

watch me

[prime moth]

i guess post ashlands its not that bad

[sharp bluff]

just a casual 50-60 hours

[plucky rock]

play valheim with me 🔫

[merry pebble]

4000 silver if you would want lvl1 swords 🤔
-# Or 16000 if you would like to hang lvl4 swords 😄

[plucky rock]

0 silver with debugmode + b

[merry pebble]

Cheater 😛

[plucky rock]

its not cheats if its part of the game

[merry pebble]

It does give you the "Cheater!" stat 😄 so its cheating

[tacit crystal]

Using them literally grants your character the "Cheater!" tag. It's not intented gameplay.

[plucky rock]

no it doesnt

[merry pebble]

Have you ever looked on your stats? 😄

[tacit crystal]

Check /stats, either on console or chatbox.

[plucky rock]

lying to me

[tacit crystal]

You can check it yourself.

With character you've used commands.

[plucky rock]

no ty

[tacit crystal]

Your loss then.

I even suspect the tag probably will prevent getting achievements once they're added.

[grim wagon]

Im going with sword purely because it can be used later as well

[midnight roost]

the tag is connected to characters right?

[tacit crystal]

Tag is added to character you used commands with.

[grim wagon]

Im going to second guess it though, i already am

[plucky rock]

acting like the tag is the boogie man

[midnight roost]

it's not that deep buddy

[plucky rock]

cry about it

[tacit crystal]

It's just how it works: using cheat commands will add the tag.

[midnight roost]

worst ragebait ever ⁉️

[near furnace]

seen alot worse

[midnight roost]

yeah just open twitter

[merry pebble]

It still silly tho 😄

[tacit crystal]

Just weird denial.

[near furnace]

aaw. Tenor lets me down
