That would make it decorative. And therefore useful to me. Sitting in a pretty base listening to chill music is my safe place
In all fairness, rafts are intentionally shit until you can get something better
It's a paradox to be sure 😭
i think rafts exist for fishing, and for when literally your starting island is seperate from the nearest eikthyr spawn by a literal ocean
Excuse me? Floating bridges are shit? 😭
Rafts are mobile dry ground to stand on while building a nice dock to store your karve in
build cam
Rafts are incredible water platforms.
They ... kinda.. have their purpose - I had a group once of a few people where when we couldnt decide which direction to take sometimes, SO we would build rafts and venture out into the vast ocean. The sole survivor had the majority vote.
i've considered building lines of raft and crossing them invasion of ancient greece style
Did not consider that actually... thats an interesting use. I normally just make little wood floors attached to stacked core logs but I like the raft idea now
Ponton bridge pieces 😄
Is quite fun.
Docks are nice aesthetically, but ships don’t move unless you’re piloting them
do the rafts get destroyed by serpents
Why not just go into the forest and drop trees on each other until only one survives?
Oh f yes they do
Because the serpents were respectable vs trees
Not unless you're on them and sailing.
Serpent diet includes mouthfuls of raft
I have a dock for ease of unloading and protection from necks. Not to keep the ship immobile
wow #u#
That’s fair
Also its a great place to hang serpent trophies
Ease of unloading is like... the number 1 reason anyone makes a dock.
oh i've been wondering
Btw, how to you get the ability to make stone structures?
are there any downsides to building docks out of solid stone
Stone cutter
2 iron and craft stonecutter bam ya done
I have to kill a boss to be able to make a stonecutter, don’t I?
You will need to go into the swamp
Technically you can get a stonecutter without killing any boss but it will be much easier if you kill elder
The mistlands bridges
i do not recommend trying to find iron with stagbreaker
they contain iron
Imagine
There are secret ways of obtaining iron
I must not have noticed it, because I’ve killed the Elder
If you're not opposed to using.....a chair
his key unlocks crypts
These secrets must remain behind closed... doors
crypts are full of iron
Take the swamp key to the swamp and look for things which are locked
not burial chambers in the black forest
it really does 🙀
If y9ure not seeing them sail farther away from the center of the map
I swear it’s just miles of meadows and Black Forest’s
Riches and wonder await you, at worlds end
🍂
Same same
Rarely find swamps on the starting landmass... often gotta sail
my friend found swamp near her spawn i so jelly
There are some remarkable seeds out there
Thats pretty lucky
i found haldor in the black forest next to the elder 👵
That also really lucky. I wanna find him. I need the belt
have you tested it? Can elders attacks go through the bubble?
i don't want to test it he's not such a snake i tempt his fate
Yeah, I shouldn't have tried fighting the Queen in the evening hours when I'm tired. It didn't go so well.
shouldve had some mountain dew for the mountain do
Not at my age. It really doesn't help. Tired means no reflexes. I misjudged most attacks.
But the BM tower shield IS better than the carapace shield.
I still get yoinked back, but it's not as bad.
Got her almost halfway down.
Carapace buckler is best one in game for some reason
That's what I meant with "reflexes".
gambling
I guess THAT is where DS could assist
Getting old sucks
Most younger players don't understand how it is once you're almost 65 years old.
Well shit
Your reflexes are just going downhill.
I mean... No. i suppose they wouldnt lol
Im 39 :/
i get it a little... i hate a soulslike game named Elden Ring
Tell that statement to someone like mansour bahrami though and they would tell you different.
But yeah, I shouldn't have tried in the late afternoon, evening hours.
I still terrorize all the young landlubbers on sea of thieves
havent played that one yet... still havent watched game of thrones.. dont have social media.
Lost cause over here 😂
are you sure you're not just simply not plugged into the matrix
No im very much disconnected from said matrix
go outside and celebrate your freedom by watching the sunset
That's what she said. 😉
AM/PM I always get it wrong...
then stay up a little later and watch the sunrise
But... its the philippines.. The sun here is like Rick and Morty's Screaming sun
i remapped parry to left shift
You need to time it just right, just like dodge-rolling.
That's why I suck at both.
And yet. It works
It's a lot of stamina waste I assume.
And you really can't hit while you're doing that.
i have the best luck pressing parry but .8 seconds before the attack hits
Does parry still cost stam?
I'd... think?
no. 🙂
Ok.
i remember this conversation
Perfect Parry
that's why hhh is viable now
dejavu for real
I can't hit while doing it no, but I wouldn't try to hit when a club or sword is hurdling toward my face
Only if you parry ALL the time. 😄
Well, if attacks come pretty fast, you gotta start hitting at some point.
parry the elite and tank everything else
I hit when they're staggered..... from the parry
Can't stagger the Queen!
troll stagger is best animation imo
Too squishy.
bear stagger is really weird
Shield WILL fail you at the most inopportune moment.
you parry and he's like "🙁 i'm tired"
I switch from melee to mage and back again every time I die
Its all just a strat of stamina control with that Queen. A strat i call Operation London Bridge.
Its like "oh you're gonna kill my weak little sword guy? Time to pull out the big guns.grabs fire staff
Oh you're gonna kill my squishy little magic guy? Time to pull out the big guns grabs heavy armor and shield
Well, I'll be dead in a second as a mage.
Back and forth always feels like im powering up haha
Godspeed
Is the bear armor worth using when it makes you vulnerable to damage?
just wear bronze helmet instead for no full set penalties
meh, stamina regen is nice but it depends how much you find yourself getting hit
i put on a different helmet when i come across a troll so i dont insta die, and use it for wood cutting etc and what not
How are you vulnerable if you don't get hit? 😏
either way very yes the chest and legs are the best imo, up to you if you want the head for set bonus
Gonna have some weird mismatched sets goin forward. Can't wait to get root
Bear seems better than troll? I dont like making bronze so I will prolly just use the troll hood n cape
yes slightly. for looks i like troll hood with bear XD or anything realy
two bronze tips:
-upgrade a bronze pickaxe
-transport it with carts or boats
Speedrunning Elder with Flint is my go-to now because his power makes getting bronze soooo much faster.
best things to keep in a karve's 4 storage slots?
wood, finewood, greydwarf eyes, surtling cores
what about copper, ore or processed?
that's for trip back
I leave it empty until I have ores
The iron you need to make the longship.
Are you comfortable rushing through Black Forests if its night time?
Those adds are quite overwhelming at times for me.
Why would I be awake at night?
Different playstyles and challenges, I guess.
Satisfactory, my guess.
Interesting, didn't know Ashlands ruins count for raids? 👀 #screenshots message
i'm considering filling the karve with 16 copper 10 bronze and 10 tin for crafting station parts
if i do this right upon disassembly i could have a portable base
unfortunately not all of it fits XuX
i don't think there's enough space in there for all the finewood #u#
That's terrifying 😳
Don't bother tbh, the next ship has 4x more slots.
Imagine some more dangerous raids. 
I'm always running through the night 🌙
Valkyrie raids would be terrible.
Don’t even speak of such a thing!
just curious, how many players even try to tell if a warrior feints instead of blocking twice when parrying?
is it only me? i never see anyone talking about their sounds
there’s no point. if there was a parry cooldown, fine, but there’s not. just block if its a feint block again. it just drags it out for no reason.
ive hated their design from day 1 i dont get it
i like knowing that im better than the warrior though
well now that i just learned the feints have a cooldown maybe ill enjoy playing around that? but also not really, im either parrying them or killing them, its silly
Would make a lot more sense if there was some sort of punish window for missed parries
right thats what im saying, it just effectively extends the fight for no reason
only the swing feint has a longer cooldown, not thrust feint
Nowadays both.
NICE
if it gets more punishing there should be a visual cue for feints, it would be unfair for players who can't hear
So my fader is stuck near the shore and won't move towards me no matter what
I LOVE THIS GAME. I LOVE BUGS.
how did it get into the ocean??
Like seriously
if fader gets wet you can damage him with the fissure
Big fierce dragons can't walk up a 5 degree slope
I swear I always get the most unlucky runs ever.
always some dumb shit that's out of my control.
I beat the boss at the end, but my god.... every time.
actually… to be fair to their design, i could see a situation where it slightly mattered if i were fighting 2-3 warriors with zerkers or something and knew i could safely swing again because i knew the closest one was feinting for example… maybe kinda.
Do the mobs break campfires?
they can accidentally but won't target campfires
Campfires take damage when they deal damage. Ive broken them by walking over them
They might target them also if they cannot get to you.
I've had greydwarf brutes attacking them while mining when they could not get to attack me.
i thought it would be fun to start counting, just lost a 92 parry streak 
@ornate needle No, bat raid requires building pieces nearby. Wolf raid is exception.
flying block always feels so cool lol
besides cooked wolf and wolf jerky, are there any other uses for wolf meat?
don't want to check the wiki rn
wolf skewer
sounds lik that's it. thanks navy decepticon
you're colored like classic robot Soundwave and are angled like their symbol
lol u do look a little decepticony
its just an N flipped and colored
🤔 hmm
i cant unsee it
google decepticon symbol
Still no achievements?
bring the green juice
me after trying to paste image 100x
why when you can kill him from a treehouse with frost arrows
not until 1.0
Damn im going back to my slumbers
parry a charred warrior 100 times without double parrying should be one
I think the skewer is used for mountain logger stew
Not that the devs would do it but I’d be down for a zero death game completion achievement
nooo just got 99 
also parrying a bear swipe dodging everything else
i assumed that would be one
mark these words i might just parry a bear slam with bronze buckler +2
hmm maybe a normal bear ya you could maybe
especially going stew sauce bearmeat
yasssss my kind of diet XD
Does anyone here personally know anyone who produces music?
sauce? neck tails?!
delicious. tastes like less intelligent chicken
it saved me from th 6 to 9 wolves i fought in the mountains a few minutes ago
how many times could a chicken parry a warrior 
when you stare into the eyes of a neck and see their utter stupidity
I mean idk Valheims devs stance on achievements but generally I find devs don’t like to make achievements That require so much skill That almost no one will get it
hmmm… a little fewer than one
i want to get at least 100 before i sleep now
thats a pretty standard achievement for a game isnt it? WoW had it in retail for getting to whatever level
Maybe like 0.878 times, rounded down?
i believe. put on mulan montage music
Maybe depends on the game. I play a lot of games permadeath but can’t recall a single one requiring it for an achievement
Other than games that end when you die, by default
meadows soundtrack + these discord pings is good enough
im trying to think of one other than WoW…
The farthest that I find games going is beating it on the highest difficulty
But it’s really a coins toss if that makes it in or not (and I wouldn’t expect that one for Valheim either)
i'm getting so much better at parrying trolls...
i think guild wars 2 maybe? guild wars 1 does now definitely
im excited for them to be boring for you. i promise to make a clip showing how to fight 2 trolls at once when you can parry them easily
anyone have an opinion on the best shield for parrying? carapce buckler at 2.5 bonus vs flametal only 1.5 but higher overall def?
the maths say carapace buckler parries with higher block armor
matters only how consistent your parrying is and if youd like less armor if you fail
i think flame round looks super cool so i use it when possible. “cuz it’s cool” is an underrated stat
pretty consistent as long as my enemy isn't a charred warrior and most of them are at this point. I'm so torn. Not sure if I have access to the flame round yet
104!
doesnt it also depend on your block stat on how well you parry
are you basing the best sheild off a 100 block stat
it does increase the block armor yeah. well a buckler with a higher multiplier would only continually outpace a lower one wouldnt it?
you could always consult the holy sheet of parrying to see exactly
where might I find this holy sheet?
pinned in this channel, “blocking breakpoints” go to the 2nd tab that said something or other, then you can input difficulty block skill, etc
bro enemies wont stop spawning while im fighting moder this is so irritating 😭
ive been attacked by 2 drakes, 1 stone golem, and 3 wolves so far fighting moder
why can i not join the voice chanels? im basssically a vveteran
its kind of confusing at first, but very useful
thanks!
with a high block stat you use less stam and take less damage and should outpace a lower sheild compared to a higher shield
welcome to moder lol
right. unless for some reason non bucklers increase their block armor faster
159
now I want 200
where will it end?
do TWO warriors at once!
Seem like you have roles that don't allow you joining VC channels. You may request a reasoning for that by sending DM to @dusky pivot.
banded shield has a 1.5 parry with 42 armour and 40 force/ the buckler is 2.5 parry 28 armour and 30 force so huge difs
thats just iron
yeah ish. 63 parry to 70 parry if i can do math
and level 1
i cant lol i changed it. hang on math…
so it be both block skill level and level of shield
15x4 = 60 25x4 = 100
im getting old my math is bad lol
i got 30, predicting feints is easy enough but actually timing the parries by watching both animations is so hard
wait im dumb hang on
lol nice
parrying one can cover the sound from the other 
feints were probably really annoying for unskilled but improving swordsmen as well
so buckler starts only 7 armor higher with a parry but that gap would increase with craft level and block level, and block armor diff would always be 14? i think?
can you try this?
im kind of dying to lol. i did make a protest video when parry changed of me parrying like 5-6 things in ashlands like “THIS IS OK TO YOU??” but it wasnt without parrying at feints
i just have lots of toddler for the next…. 2 hours then im gonna
i even parried a slam with bronze atgier
this was from public test lol. #valheim-public-test message
here are some commands I used, they might be helpful to you:
setkey enemydamage 0 so you don't stagger
this means you could block with fists to push the warriors less
spawn cart Vagon.m_playerExtraPullMass::15000.0
this spawns a cart with a modified property to increase your mass while pulling it. because of a bug in the current version, you can break this cart while pulling it (most easily done with bombs or forcedelete) to keep your mass high permanently. this will stop the charred warriors from pushing you around.
oh useful so i dont get pushed back and parry the air and technically whiff a parry cool
the power of health food! XD
valheim's armor calculation means you can never block a hit down to 0 damage
oh right i had forgor
to make sure i understand this right
iron banded shield can block more damage
but iron buckler can parry higher damage attacks?
both assuming full block stamina
banded shield blocks better, iron buckler parries better
but banded shield also looks better so I always make it instead of the buckler
the two points are clear but i wasnt sure exactly how they show, how the truth manifests
parry bonus is higher on the buckler. this value multiplies block armor when parrying so the smaller base block armor becomes a higher block armor when parrying
sometimes players mistake it for bonus damage against staggered enemies. they always take 2x damage.
which... means it can parry heavier attacks?
more block armor also means lower chip damage, right?
yes. stagger is the amount of physical + lightning damage so you have to reduce damage to reduce stagger
and the better the block armor the less max health you need, cuz both matter
If only there were a spreadsheet for this... 😏
naturally
i'm looking at it
it is not obvious. i used to think stagger was entirely dependent on what you blocked with, like you always stagger least with tower, then round, etc down to 1 hand weapon
like there was a set amount of stagger you always took, which you do always take stagger damage and i wasnt wrong exactly, but the underlying maths werent a factor in my head cuz why would they be
does armor in effect multiply your hp by a percentage
armor only affects the damage that gets through the blocking
ah.
that shouldve been obvious thanks
iron banded shield seems almost immaterially worse at parrying than likewise buckler
it's literally 80% of the way there at lvl 3
not by a ton, lvl 1 shields with zero block skill its a difference of 7 between banded and buckler but banded has much higher block armor
yes.
Oh if you're looking for "logic" or "reasoning" in why shields have the numbers they have... abandon that quest. They do not. There is no discernable pattern or explanation to it.
that's why it seems much better
but ya as you level the shields and your skill maths math and multiply
oh man we’ve been talking SO MUCH about parrying
i'm not looking for a grand design i'm looking for emergent technique
Fair.
i use banded iron because the coolness emerges into my fashion techniques but..
also why i wore a bear on my head into the mountains lol
i wear troll armor and bronze helmet/dverger circlet 🫠
sometimes i put on a troll hood
still havent found iron
if i knew a line from devil wears prada id say it
i did build a karve tho
i'm planning on taking it out into the sea
i wanted to mention
i'm glad you're still around, you were a joy to read last night if disruptive, and while you may not pick the right fights, you're definitely fighting for the right reasons. keep the faith
so, how many resources do folks usually try for? anyone go for a proper chest full of one of every resource?
personally i am NOT that person. i have as much as im gonna use, if vegetables are grown and i dont need them anytime soon sucks to be a turnip it stays in the ground
i guess something like tin hardly has enough uses to warrant that if you have plenty of bronze already
i started collecting loads of plant matter in hytale before i burnt out
i'm leery of starting that in valheim because i know if i did i could burn out on this game too
i figure i'll burn out either way
Im a hoarder
You'll find my reinforced chest either full or half full
i was furnishing a house in the mountains when a furry black shape with red eyes appeared
mm yes fenrings
they sound like frens
frenrings
Im curious what would be your reaction to the queen
the raids after hildir's quests is so damn awesome hehehe
I love em
Have you been inside the crypts in the Swamp?
isnt that a terraria item or is it also in valheim
And the latter is a mtg card?
(Oh its emergent ultimatum)
"Emergent ultimatum"... I like that term, I'm gonna find an excuse to use it someday
if someone communicated in only MTG card names and descriptions... would we be able to tell?
sorry I look like an idiot, I havent played valheim but plan to play soon
Is there some kind of "transfer only what I can carry into my inventory" key combo?
is there any chance that a wolf could be tame with bear meat too ?
Yes! raw boar meat, neck meat, deer meat, and sausages
Take all button otherwise the weights are shown on hover
Yeah, I was just hoping there was a shortcut
If it’s a chest and you have auto pickup on, you can break the chest and it will only pickup what u can carry then
Hey actually I never thought of that
If you want to do that, just make sure you got 1 wood in your inventory.
That will it more likely you're going to pick up the wood from the chest too, making it easier to rebuild it.
bro a pufferfish got in my boat and poisoned me to death 😭
The deadly assassins of the sea
Gotta be the most unluckiest death ever
"Death by pufferfish"
genuinely might be first pufferfish related death in valheim 💔
Nah theres probably a few out there but dying to a pufferfish without even handling it intentionally is certainly a first
i didnt even realize what i was being poisoned by until i was dead lmao, i saw him bouncing near my ships steering seat so i knew it was him
The youtuber Henrik had a harpooned greyling being pulled with his boat when a pufferfish killed it
the possibility is never zero
how do we feel about the bear? IMHO too difficult/tedious to kill to engage at all
I like it as a mob, and the loot is also rlly nice
i really like the bear tbh. they can definitely be tedious, i dont really see them as difficult though. they have a relatively basic attack pattern and stagger for a while
right, not difficult, just "meh, I'm gonna skip that"
what do you fight it with?
They allow you to craft one of the best trinkets in the game, worth the hassle
swords usually
silver swords 😛
their resistance and hp is so high that I wait for mountain gear to take them on
Reminds me of one of my first times in the mistlands
Level 5 🐡 jumped out of the water and slapped me in the face while I was enjoying the scenery 🤣
Gave me such a fright at the time 😅
Still have him on the wall at one of my bases 🥰
Try fire
It solves all your problems 😂
“What about a lava blob?”
Did I stutter? 🤣
is there an efficient ooze farming method 
from what I've seen you box them into 4 walls and then build fires underneath them
Or just…
Slap them with a torch 😂
are you playing on high difficulty? parrying them with a wood shield and attacking with a flint axe works pretty well
Uhm…..
No sure
Blobs are kinda a random spawn right?
personally, not a fun method IMHO; I'd rather just have them rebalanced to at least offer one well exploitable weakness that is not fire; and maybe halve the hp
yeah, less random than just fighting oozes, but i dont think there's one
Pray you get the swamp raid 😅

Maces
Not something they are weak too but it’s not resisted either
Its how I stockup.on mine
they resist blunt and pierce, slash works well
Really…?
I’m confused now. 🤣
How comfortable are you going to swamps at night?
I’ll go slap one later😂
Is anybody comfortable with this? 😂
My brother in wizardry
With magic EVERYTHING is easier 🤣
I'm doing a no-boss run, i'm not getting a swamp raid ever 🥲

Its new for me 😂
I was a peasant for so long
Welcome to the winning team 🥳
What is your favourite? Ice or fire?
As your element of choice?
Nice!
But prefer pew pew boom
Best solution to bugs:
lots of arsen 😂
Reminds me of that spider meme where we burn our house down 🤣
Depends on playstyle
Magic requires you to level up a bit to reach peak power
And you can’t go facetank stuff
But once you get the hang of moving around and fighting from a healthy distance using blood magic summons, you absolutely REK everything the game can throw at you 😂
Is fenris viable for ashlands or just wear a mixture of root fenris and carapace?
My magic is quite low. Both are around level 20
Melee doesn’t have an orbital strike you can chuck at your enemies 😂
Lmfao
Decent - you can only go up from there bud 🥳
Allies*
Accurate 😅
Main thing is leveling blood magic
It makes your already OP magic shield VERY strong, and your summons become mini tanks that just draw all the enemy aggro
How would you like to have your own necron platoon?
For a little blood they will happily murder hobo all your enemies 😂
I dont really know how to train blood magic. Im using a grey dwarf farm and summon the skeles to fight. But its very slow
I had thought of doing something similar in swamps with draugrs
It’s a 2 part trainin
You need to break your magic shield or let the skellies kill things
It is a slow process sadly
Lots of mobs and magic shields is the way
My shield gives me xp?
When it breaks yes
I never even knew. I wasn't really bringing it
Does the timer extend the higher your magic level
Or derease the dps received before breaking
the weapon level increases the timer, blood magic skill increases shield health
Thank you
the shield health increases from 200 to 700 with your skill
With the Staff of Protection, one experience is gained when the barrier is broken. The experience is given to the entity protected by the barrier (instead of the caster). Thus, it is possible to level Blood magic without having the staff.
With the Dead Raiser, experience is gained when a summoned Skelett deals damage, +0.75 experience per melee hit and +0.5 experience per ranged hit.
Also for the record, you don't have to be a mage. I'm happy doing my tank thing the entire game
It's not the only option melee works too
True.
But magic is fun 🤣
I do love the 2h greatsword. The krom is amazing
@granite grail 👆
And that polearm too himmafl
I was so excited to reach magic for the first time but it turns out I don't really care for it
I am excited to die lots in the ashlands.
Magic is cool but it gets bit boring for me nowadays, so light armored melee for me. But my friend loved it and dedicated the rest of our playthrough to it once we got access to it.
Jokes aside. All those new weapons look incredible
I felt the very same the last year until I was like Im just going to play solo
Everyone is playing arc raiders or helldivers.
And? It can never compare to the absolute exhilaration of an intense battle, enemies on all sides, heart pumping, weapon clashing, diving in and out of the dust and debris, being right in the thick of it, and then emerging victorious as a weary but triumphant viking. THAT is the true fun
Whats your preferred weapons
Silver sword lol
Or cb style
Himminafl is fire too
Yeah I love that
I also do archery, rocking the arbalast rn
It is a change for sure from bows. They're very slow to reload but are quite accurate and do amazing sneak attack damage
I haven't been to the swamp for a minute
Does your bow skill improve reload times
I want to say yes? I'm not sure how the crossbow work in that regard
Does the trinket for bows work for cbows also?
Or do they have one entirely different
Wolf sight? I've never crafted it but according to google it does not since they're different skills
It's lightning. 
Bows and crossbows are two different skills.
Oh, thank you for the clarification
iirc irl pufferfish are only poisonous to eat
dolphins like to make them angry and hit them with their tails like a ball
Dolphins make them angry so they can “huff” the toxic secretions for an aquatic high.
Dolphins are jerks 🤣 it could be both!
oh! i remember now
they hit them with their tails to make them puff up
i don't think dolphins play pufferball
I cast OBLITERATE!!! 😂
Proceeds to fire off spells from every stave in the game

But why would I want that you adrenaline junky? 🤣
LoL 😂
I love that Valheim enables so many diverse play styles 🥰
my play style was "hit with axe chop chop
"
Yes - magic and archery are skills where high skill does matter
Low skill bows are just bad arbalests
i spot an imposter
what's the green one
can i plant Jotun bubble only in the Mistlands or other biomes too
Whats a jotun bubble
Namecalling isn't necessary just because your joke was too shitty to actually be considered "a joke"
a fruit from the mistlands
Jotun puffs
yeah
Only in mists afaik
ty
they'll do anything lmao
What green one? 😂
all that is missing is dundr
some one screenshotted staff and I saw an imposter one
green and spiral
woof i tol you thats the op staff that makes you the elder its real
sounds fishyyy
yes kitty would like it
for your enemies its pretty ruff
I've got level 3 troll armor, level 3 iron buckler, level 2 or 3 iron sword, and frost resist mead.
How terrible an idea is it to go a little way into the mountains, looking for neat stuff?
not terrible at all you’re basically post-swamp geared
I've barely got into the swamp. Two sunken crypts.
leave 1 frost resist potion at your spawn just in case
Oh yea. I've got 20 or 30, and am outpost right near a little patch of mountain.
Need a hammer to find silver, and an iron pick to get it.
sure, no real need to beat bonemass you sound plenty prepared
Excellent. Thanks for the advice!
only thing id say to find is turnips at some point if you havent
Have. The main reason I want to go to the mountains is onions.
cool, well have fun enjoy the view. oh and you have either spear or bow i assume
Frost mead so you won't freeze and you are fine in your gear as long as you don't get hit
That's the real trick. I'm not awful at parry, anymore. I can face-tank a troll, if he doesn't have a log. The only monster I've met so far that I fear is an abomination.
Getting onions early is not a bad move so you can start your onion farming a little earlier.
I really wish I could find blueberry easier.
Sail around for black forests and then go find some and mark down the locations on your map
Put a portal down on the new Black Forest area so you can return every few days to get those Blueberries when they respawn
Yea, I've got a few patches marked. Need to set up a rotation.
As long as you check all those locations every few days you will be stocked up in no time. It is always a good idea to spend some time cooking not just for the here and now but for the future so you can see what food stuff you need to resupply as a priority
I like to cook up big batches of stuff, partly because holding shift while you cook to make 5x gives you a chance for up to 15 extra 'free' output.
i wouldnt worry about abominations. they are super duper slow and pretty dumb. if you really wanna avoid fighting it, you can just run and it will almost certainly fail to keep up with you lol
This seems true. I've killed two so far, by kiting with flame arrows. A third stopped chasing me to get in a fight with a 1-star troll, so I went and fired into both of them, once they wore each other out. Good times.
But the only time I tried to go sword-and-board with an abomination, it went badly.
yeah, its risky to get close until you have some better gear. tbh if you want you can try dodging over parrying or blocking with abominations. although if kiting with arrows is working for you, no reason to change it up really
I've had no luck with dodging. Might be the terrain I always wind up fighting in. I should pick a fight in the meadows, see if I can get he hang of it.
I always drag my first few aboms away because the swamp can kill you due to terrain etc even in higher gear
If you get right under them in ideal conditions you can get a good 3 swings in before you have to roll
But I always start with 2 swings
You can block the abomination attacks with your shield and stab it
lol, you can also take one step to the left of their front right leg and it'll never hit you with any attack.
TIL
I just hop up on a crypt or fallen log and chop away
I parry the attacks with the iron bucker and stab it, usually takes 3-4 stabs
yeah their big log overhead swing is so slow you can step to the left and hack em for days. theyre really easy when you learn their 3 attacks
that works too. Honestly I usually parry just cuz it's faster to get rid of them.
Yeah once you can parry them its chop chop ez
I usually just dodge their attacks because I can't parry them
I always suspect I can stay clear of several of their attacks with a sidestep but never wanted to chance it
just only parry the swipe if you dont have a ton of block armor
i think only early axes struggle with swipe
That's what I'm going for, but it didn't take, last time. As others have advised, I'll look to my positioning.
chat here is active so i didnt post and instead posted in #valheim-help
Lingering eitr mead needs to chill
Sorry I meant to say I use the Banded Shield to parry abominations. It is worth upgrading the shield and same thing for upgrading the shield in the next biome
Ah, I see. I've been trying to upgrade shield as a priority over weapons.
Lingering eitr is amazing 🤩
Indeed it does 😄
I remember smiffe or some other devs saying they would never add such animals into the game cause they're not unique enough or something
Yeah think they did used to say that.
Guess they changed their mind
It is still a small download
bruh why are ashlands so dark at night
Too much ash in the air for the star light and moon to shine through 😄
also so the 2 star asksvins can get their hugs in under the cover of darkness
1 gb is a small download? Damn, I'm out of touch.
For a game of a scope valheim has... Its incredibly small 😄
was the longship once denotd as lankskip?
when you're caught without a weapon you're a little more formidable from all your weapon skill
Good dps, different dmg types in different tiers, great stagger on secondary
Also the no running speed debuff is nice I guess
Heh, didnt even realize they dont have a movement penalty 😄 good to know
ya mainly the secondary stagger is absurd, and bear paws also have absurd parry which falls off later because reasons
R u guys telling me the spartan kick is op rn
I could have been kicking seekers in the face???
uh yeah lol, lookit the stagger multiplier on wiki XD
x6 stagger multiplier for secondary on all fists
This changes everything
this. is. VALHEIMMM!!!
Anyone ever intentionally damage their build pieces to give structures an old worn down look?
Very out of touch yea. I’d say below 10 gb is pretty small
Much smaller than all these 60-150gb games
literally working on a broken bridge build rn
i love when it rains when im building cuz it does my floor for me
. . . My first real computer had a 9.2 gb hard drive, and I never thought I'd fill it up.
Mine was 20MB. I booted from floppy disk just so I had more room on the hard drive.
Its nice to know im not the only old mf here. Any time I join a gaming discord I worry that im the creepy old guy chatting with kids online
The leaps in technology are quite crazy
nah nothing creeping abt enjoying a game and engaging with the community
I do think Valheim has a more mature audience than a lot of games tho
<- old
I rode my dinosaur to school uphill in the snow if that counts?
Both ways.
We had to cross a river, upstream, in a leaky boat because we couldn't afford a decent one. I'd row while my sister would bail water, or we'd sink.
My first computer didn't even HAVE a floppy drive, let alone a hard drive.
LOL now that I think of it, mine too, just a tape drive
Was this a C64, or just an early DOS?
Pre-C64
Z80 open board computer, you could get a shock on the open transformer of the power supply. 1 KILObyte of RAM.
My first computer I had to plug in a tape recorder/playback to save/load data to cassette tapes.
My first was a VIC20
That was my second.
Radio Shack TRS80
We rule.
Because 20k of RAM ought to have been enough for anybody
early DOS, it was an IBM 286
Glad to know I'm not the oldest here. I know of tape drives, but I got started with the 5.25 floppy.
My first experience with computers was ... punch cards.
That was in the late 70's. 😄
yep. when I asked my parents for computer games, my mom bought me a book: 'Write and play your own games with Extended Colour Basic'.
You got us all beat there. My FIL used punch cards for his PHD.
i remember playing joust on the dos computer in my parents’ bedroom
I was so excited install MS DOS 3.2, in uni.
Well, it was very short lived. My first "real" computer was that Z80 board.
Then came the VIC-20 and many(!) more.
Can yagluth be parried with level 60 block and a flame metal shield?
I would think so, yes.
I don't think you can parry bosses.
yeah, it just blocks.
I might be wrong, though.
I know bosses are immune to stagger, so you can't do that, but AFAIK you can still parry.
you can parry any boss for extra block armor they just dont stagger
I didn't know that.
But since I can just block them (except the Queen!!!!!1111!!!!1bloodelf), I don't really care.
Well, technically I CAN block her.
yeah.. now that parrying stamina doesnt matter its best thing to do for stamina regen since stamina regen doesnt even pause during parry…….
She just sends me flying into the next biome.
Pre-nerf Bonemass power was super strong against her, just needed to position yourself against wall and keep spamming secondary attack with Krom while she smacked you and didn't do as much damage but was finished fast.
Last time I used Skol and Hati, it was fun fight.
Yeah, I think the Bonemass nerf went a bit... too far.
And I have grown older still. 😛
Really? I feel like it's in a solid spot
As Joel mentioned above, it was over the top pre-nerf
Bonemass was honestly too strong for every situation earlier.
It was. But now it doesn't feel like anything's happening.
I really don't feel a difference.
It was nerfed way too much.
Still feels pretty good to me. Probably depends on your playstyle though. If you are already wearing heavy armor on like normal difficulty it's prob not a big diff
But if you're wearing light armor or on higher difficulty it feels good
That's the problem. I do wear heavy armor usually.
I don't feel anything when I use it.
And I play on default.
Can't do anything harder, because no block.
Then yeah you don't need it. Wearing heavy armor opens you up to then use eikthyr or something
Shields are out of the window.
I don't need it that much. But I DO need it for the Queen.
And it's completely broken there.
Queen power is gonna feel pretty underwhelming if you don't use magic. Eikthyr power is gonna feel underwhelming if you save all your stamina for attacking rather than running. Bonemass is gonna feel underwhelming if you're already building to be a tanky boy
Still helpful, just not as much
Very little helpful. 😛
But then I'm really getting too old for this. I've tried Queen this morning, and I pretty much misjudged ALL her attacks. I was dead so quick it was laughable.
Hmm, block the double claw on ground attack with serpent shield since that attack deals pierce damage.
THe problem is not the blocking, except when I successfully block it sends me into the next biome.
The problem is that I misjudge her attacks.
And I get hurt pretty badly.
That is my fault.
I'm getting too old.
Hmm, adjust difficulty for the boss fight for easier?
Not sure if that is going to help much... But I might have to do that now.
Give up the sword and tap into the raw powers of creation
Feels sucky, because I know that I have beaten her before.
Only during boss fight, then switch it back to normal afterwards.
Definitely no shame in adjusting difficulty. Especially for queen / Ashlands / Deep North
Kite her in circles while shooting the frost staff in her face
"can't" seems to be a constant thene
I'm scared to take on Queen and Fader on my next runs. I've always used magic just because it was so damn easy, but I want to try the challenge of facing them head on
Stay out of range, can't get squished
You can dodge roll the Queen and melee her but still run into the issue of the adds
Except if you get ambushed by a bunch of seekers.
Was it harder difficulty?
I got her down to half health with melee then finished her off with magic
I've beaten all of them, but it seems I no longer can. Well, at least the Queen.
are bear paws the best weapon for parrying and fighting bears
I've found Fader much easier than the Queen.
If you beat them before but can't now and you're saying the problem is slower reflexes due to aging, Drink a redbull
Think of it as a buff mead
They are really nice alongside with other slash weapons.
I doubt that's gonna help much. 😉
Potion of lingering stamina
Not sure what my problem here is. Can't be just age. My reflexes went waaaaay over board.
Maybe you're coming down with a cold.
Taken down both on Vhard
This next run will prob just be Hard
Na, I'm fine.
I always get a bit sluggish before the other symptoms kick in
I don't know. I'm really fine. I would know if I'd get sick.
I have beaten Yagluth on hard difficulty in my hard preset deathless run.
@strange cradle don't mention AGE till you really get to MY age (75)
Wow!
I've played since 2021 and im stil on my first playthrough:/
Ok, you must be officially the oldest of us here.
I will worship on your altar of age. 😄
I once played a server with all the hardest modifiers on (I was the only one that made it past swamp lol) and I made it up to beating yag and starting to progress mistlands, before the server ended up getting deleted
75 and still gaming? Impressive....
My parents played games up to their early 80s.
Not sure if they still do.
I need to ask them.
What!!!... you are NEVER TOO OLD to game. (75 yr old speaking here)
Getting 65 this summer. I don't know. I used to be good at this game (on default).
Subbed
Even got YT vids to show off my gaming adventures.. Atterga on YT
65.. you're still a babe in the woods .. lol
Heh. That's what we say to the young'uns. 😉
Lol.
Yep ..
Ahhh.. my Alter of Age.. love it! 😘
😄
Yall are almost old enough to run for congress
I honestly thought for the longest time I was among the oldest that played Valheim.
You've proven me wrong.
I play Valheim, Ark. Falloutv76.. and ESO
Nice.
I tried ARK, wasn't for me.
I played Conan for a while.
That was pretty good.
Most multiplayers so I can meet up with all you youngins!
😄
I recall there was someone bit older than you, @near furnace did you mention it earlier?
Oh.. and on Conan too. I still have a base on Official 2132
Yep. Conan was pretty cool.
But I like the open world and building of Valheim better.
My parents actually played Conan with us back then.
I did like taking on the Berserkers.
They were in their late 70s back then.
Nice! My hats off to them.
Oh yeah! My dad was very progress oriented!
He was trying in LoTRO to keep up with the young kids. In his 70's 😄
He went raiding and all that shit.
Can't do that anymore. He's now 88.
Love hearing that.. I hope I'm still playing in my 80's
I hope so too.
I just have to accept the fact, that my reflexes are getting worse and worse.
Practice makes them remember actions better.. keep playing more and more .. reflexes will improve!
You'd be surprised what your body can do
I don't know. Something's off lately.
Me too.. don't tell my daughter.. but sometimes over 12 hours a day. But I do believe it helps with aging reflexes, memory, etc
My first attempt at the Queen was horrible. Died like 10 times. My second attempt went smooth as butter (because I went full melee). My third attempt (post BM nerf) is a complete trainwreck.
Well, I get her down to a third, and then die horribly.
Down a third, not TO a third.
Ha. Well.. I haven't done that one yet. But then my content is sometimes more entertaining cause I'm so goofy.
😄
All bosses, except the Queen are very manageable.
The Queen will test you.
Fader, the last boss, is a piece of cake compared to the Queen.
I can beat Yagluth in under six minutes.
The Queen? Horrible.
Well.. I'll keep this in mind
Yup. But it's mostly my fault, since I somehow started misjudging her attack patterns.
Not sure if it's really just age.
I hope it's not Alzheimer... 😛
Yeah. Hope it will improve.
you're not oldest by a landslide to be honest 🙂
You are "young" compared to some
How old was the oldest you knew in this server?
I've just beaten the Queen for the first time 💪 took me ~30min (including 10 looking for her in the mist), but it was fun
now to experience a world where you can see things and everyone and everything hates you
A game changer for queen fight is when you realize torches are buildable inside dungeons
I should have thought about that
It’s fun to fight against a mist revealed queen on the first try tho
I'm currently looking at a YT video where the player kill her without food, armor, rested buff or meads
and it take them only 11min
when she starts you know what at 1/2 hp
Sounds like something Scales would do
it's them, yep
Ive also seen him fight against likr 6-8 queens at once
Though that was in better gear
Ugh why isn't there a single button for disabling the keyboard just like for the mousepad
Kinda basic
Probably don't want a way of locking you out of both built-in bits of interfacing hardware. Disabling the mouse via the keyboard is fine, but if there's a way to disable the keyboard, I would expect it to be done via the mouse so you can't turn off both at once.
Yup. I'm giving up. I may not be the oldest, but I'm probably the one too stupid to beat the Queen. At least not anymore. Got her halfway down, died. Tried again, died instantly again. I can't do it.
If you don't want to use a keyboard, use a tablet instead.
No keyboard on that.
Problem solved. 🤷♂️
Fighting the Queen is not fun, it's a chore. It's the ONLY boss in Valheim that is like that.
You get pinned, you're dead.
I really HATE the Queen. I will gladly fight two Faders. But not ONE Queen.
Queen is something for 15-year olds with super reflexes.
I may not be the oldest, but I sure do feel like it.
The younger the better reflexes, I wanna see a 2 year old doing a no hit run against 2 queens at once
You may laugh about it now... But I want to see others at my age taking her on. But maybe it's just me, and I just suck.
"It's the ONLY boss in Valheim that is like that" LOL you got something coming.........😆
Giridgway got info on Deep North boss it sounds
I fought Fader twice. No major issues.
Without Bonemass, because you don't really need it there.
welp i think i find moder's mountain cuz it's surrounded by mistlands. clear giveaway.
Ouch.
On my island world I had Moder in the deep south surrounded by Plains and Mistlands. Well, one side was thankfully BF, so it was not too hard to get there.
crossing the plains isn't that bad with a root set
oof there's actually THREE very tall peaks in this giant sea of mistlands, can be any of them
Yeah, root set is good for that.
Ouch again. That is hard. I'd probably try to find another Moder spawn.
meh ill just go careful, ive done it before. but its almost night igotta dock and rest and spend the night somewhere
is your mom good for mountains?
I don't click on every link nilly-willy. Care to explain?
you tried this earlier lol the link got deleted
That's from Mistlands. I'd keep it.
if you're NOT a troll spammer i apologize but it really seems like it cuz you did the same thing earlier
Medal links would be more appropriate to posted in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202263390056357928
if you want to share a screenshot, post it in #screenshots and link it here, this way people know it really link to a picture
Don't need to. If you've found a hare and scales of it, you should keep it. You will need it later in Mistlands.
Send Medal link to https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202263390056357928, the channel you posted is for ingame screenshots, not clips.
the heck? ur going ot mountains with plains and mistlads food?
well if it was good enough for you to go to mistlands its good enough for you to go to mountains
How'd you got that? You need silver for it.
lol
Ok, have fun, I guess. 😄
They're the same.
they're equivalent
Better put.
Moder is much harder, IMHO.
Bonemass is still beatable with no skill points whatsoever.
Moder not.
I personally think Yagluth is easier than Moder.
I haven't seen it, but if you rock Plains and Mistlands food, you're more than ready.
Depending on your weapons skill.
ah god. there was a tiny spec of plains to dock at, just over a small hill i hear RRRAAAAAAAHHHHHH a berserker getting aggro'd by something, theres a village
Probably seekers. 😄
im wet and unrested just hiding behind a tree with a fire lol
its a bear i hear it dying
tiny BF patch
Nice.
arite well everythiing murdered each othe rlong enough for me to sleep
Man
I just fought my first abomination this playthrough
It's a piece of cake now that I know how to parry
well it was an uneventful climb, met a golem and some drakes and fought them in a blizzard on teh peak of the top of the world like gandalf or some sht
are they maybe gonna add storage on lox's?
We have no indication they will 🙂
is there a way to ask them if they will
Well, you can ask smiffe if you see him here sometime, but i doubt he will tell you even if they do have plans like that 😅
Hello everyone! Are there any French people here? 🙂
How do I stack crystal walls?
ya its fidgety, u gotta put the cursor right on the edge of the thing like the actual thin side edge
They cant support themselves, you need something to hold them up other than crystal walls themselves 🙂
So I gotta frame it
oyeah that too
Pretty much 😄
There is also https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202312684364910612 where you can post suggestion, but IIRC inventory slots on saddles is not new one.
i actually wouldnt oppose that inventory expansion suggestion only because how pita mounts are to keep anywhere near you and not get them dead its only fair
It's Internet, everybody is french or wish they were
Same with mistlands
is there an approximately date when the 1.0 will drop?
Hey, some chicken advice. Does anyone know a way to stop eggs from hatching, if I’m wanting to farm the eggs rather than the meat?
nope
Don't give them heat (fire)
Ooof. So I may have messed up then. I put the chicken coop right up against the wall of our bedroom with the hearth….i guess I could try and coax them into a shelter further away?
or wait for them to lay two eggs and bring them somewhere else to hatch
Ah, right, then restart the breeding process in a place I can control the heat more.
That makes sense, thanks folks.
I just when back to where I marked a bear spawn point and there was a troll instead
Do they possibly share spawn point intermittently or something?
Random spawns.
They are just random spawns in thw wild 🙂
Trolls can have one time spawners near and inside troll caves.
i had too much coffee today OwO
Se technically you could say they share the "spawnpoint", that spawnpoint being the entire black forest biome 😄
So the spawn points aren't kinda permenant or something?
Bears seem to have permenant ones for sure
Sometimes they respawn very often
there might be a regional quota
If they spawned in that general area before then they can of course spawn there again 🙂 but it is pretty much just a coincidence
"if it hasnt happened in long enough it is (could be) likelier"
who wants to hear something cursed
@abstract warren i posted it in gen doc
Omg this crypt goes two floors down
I really feel like wolves should have some poison resistantce 😭 That, or the greydwarf shaman needs to be nerfed because my pet wolf 2 biomes up should not die so easily to the greydwarf shaman
does upgrading your tools like axe helps it chop faster or just make it last longer?
Both
It increases the damage it does so yes it will chop the trees down in fewer swings
I can post it here but I think I might have found a new POI, screenshot in #screenshots
Ah its a rock fren spawn point
Dag nabbit u dont know how many ratatosk ive drank looking for that on multiple worlds and still havent seen it 😂
I really like death stranding
That game made me very interested in babies and fetuses like they're so symbolic and elegant if (god allows) i ever have children I would have them in an artificial glass womb like in the game with the bbs
O_o
Probably better to leave them with their mother
@west mica You have found the new POI added last February. 
Love how I'm still finding new stuff on my 4th playthrough and hundereds of hours!
I found it by accident on my first ever world and have been searching for it madly in my current one 😂 I've found 2 free roaming rockies
late game night is a mess ! I was chilling in the mountain, hunting some fenrir, when I saw a battle between wolves, skeletons, seekers and fulings. And the only one who survived where the skelly. It was like a convention
Yes
P sure enemies prioritize benches
If you look at the Building, Comfort & Security Spreadsheet by Winter here #valheim-chat message you can see exactly what structures are attacked on sight by enemies 🙂
@dim python
thanks asatru
it's really funny to see a lone viking paddle to sail a drakkar, it's like driving a tank with pedals
With good enough gear ratio and proper friction considerations that is totally possible 😄
also, Valheim is still Valheim, the wind is in my face while I cross half the map to ashlands
no! its actually vintage story now!
is there an upper limit to how many stacks of saved wolf meat is helpful
Probably, but wolf skewers are great base food 🙂
Just finished off my first troll, freakin rain kept putting out my fire arrows
Welp, that was poor planning. I need a bronze axe to get the finewood for my first boat, the Karve, but I already made the 80 nails... time to hope I have enough copper
Skewers are used in feasts
I recommend just getting more copper to get more copper, but if u find a troll on the way...
Trolls also can chop wood
I was lucky enough to have enough copper and tin to make the bronze for my axe, I just need to make the ship itself now
Very happy about that lol
those swamp raids are very annoying...
i need more mead but i can't be arsed 😩
it'll be the death of me
wrong server
yup
he can try to write it, but he can't use it
don't need trolls in discord, enough ingame
What kind of mead?
poison resist and medium heal 🏺
If you can get ahold of a root helm they have poison resist built in
does it stack with the mead?
In valheim you can be very weak, weak,neutral, resistant,very resistant , or immune
the mead reduce poison by 75%, the mask by 50%
Stacking multiple instances of resistant does not make you very resistant. You're just plain resistant
but the mask is enough for everything in swamp or plains
Well color me wrong
Ok so the meads better than the mask. But using them both isn't any better than just using the mead would be. It basically saves you time on brewing meads
Same w frost and cape
How many fermenters do you have?
Im running 10
So i can craft two 5x batches
I also have a crippling addiction to ratatosk meads
OMG BOATING IN THIS GAME IS SO FUN
It is?
No. It doesn't.
But the helmet is a good fail save for when the mead runs out.
i mght just swear by the helm tbh...
I love sailing too. Big on the karve for exploring, the longship when I know where im going
Save the meads for decorating your alchemy lab. The glowing green bottles look so cool
I refuse to beach myself at night in fog unable to turn around easily
my almost impenetrable base keeps getting the one raid that scares me.
the seekers
its like guaranteed i have to fix stuff after it
sometimes i even forget what they broke so i might be missing something i made
I remember the first week when mistlands came out, and this raid was activated by yagluth
