valheim-chat

[quasi night]

a lot of people lost their bases

[stable anvil]

what activates it now? i havent killed the queen. i've only been inside the mistlands

[quasi night]

still Yagluth, turns out I must be remembering wrong

[regal cave]

Last time I was sought out only 2 seekers came i was disappointed

[stable anvil]

i get like 5-6

i assume soldiers can come but i havent seen it

it also came right as i started cooking my misthare supreme so it's just like...guess my food will burn

[regal cave]

Oof rest in pepperoni misthare, thats a tough one

[cosmic summit]

Can you deconstruct the oven?

[stable anvil]

i thought about it but i didnt wanna have to place them back

[cosmic summit]

I feel ya

Do you have them built into your wall?

[stable anvil]

nah but i got like a sign on them and some specific chests next to them and im not sure if i would have to remove the chest after to refit them or not for obstruction reasons or whatever

[stable anvil]

got a crypt with 136 iron inside. very cool when it happens

[dim python]

about when should i stop trying to parry with Paws of the Bear?

[pliant blade]

Hello and my friend were playing valheim today and we decided to raid a fortress in the ashlands. Right after using the battering ram to break down the wall, about 40 mobs came out. Is this a bug?

[granite grail]

Sounds about right. it is supposed to be the hardest biome currently

[pliant blade]

i can respect a challenge, but this seemed like parody. It was literally impossible to win that fight.

We have the best possible gear you can have at that point and we did not stand a chance. I'm thinking that it is somehow bugged since on that server i had the public test branch.

Also the game was literally lagging because of the mobs, thats how many there were. I dont think im over exaggerating when i say that there were 40 mobs 😭

[granite grail]

Perhaps, I have yet to do a fortress. Best of luck, be patient and live to fight another day!

[pliant blade]

🤠

[regal cave]

40 skeletons, surprise!

[pliant hatch]

There's a reason players cheese fortresses by building a staircase to the walls.

An you discovered that reason.

As there's spawners inside. But there's also at least one particulier mob that spawns more skellies.

[stable anvil]

finding a vile trophy isn't fun

running around plains some nights all night without even seeing a vile and then if i do they dont drop it

[chrome badge]

Maybe trophy hunting isn't for you then 😅

[stable anvil]

i don't know if thats fair to say compared to the other trophies its much harder and i hear the vile armor isnt even very good

i want it though

[chrome badge]

I think it's fair, you don't have fun with it, you don't have to do it. 🤷

I had fun with it personally, it was a unique timeframe hunt, and feels good to achieve.

[stable anvil]

you make it sound like getting lucky to have one spawn is a skill issue or something

[neon steppe]

i rather hunt for vile trophy than alot of trophies in game

[chrome badge]

I'm laying it out for you that it's entirely optional, should you want to keep having fun, you don't need to do it.

It doesn't have to be fun for every single person.

[regal cave]

My backyard spawns one like every day XD

Also always good to stock up on needles

[dark coyote]

yeah dont they have set spawn points?

[stable anvil]

do they?

[regal cave]

Not sure, kind of one of those "if im not looking for them" things

[thorny ingot]

When you cruise into the Mistlands in your karve and find a nice shallow point next to a dvergr harbor to demolish your boat and....its inside the dvergr ward.

[regal cave]

Rip chris

[stable anvil]

1 star mage incoming i imagine

[nocturne wolf]

most enemies don’t have set repeating spawn points, if they do it’s something visible like a tar pit or surtling spawner

[dark coyote]

I remember reading that the vile did though

[nocturne wolf]

where?

[regal cave]

It says anywhere very rare plains at night

[long breach]

Hello guys i have a question. I just beat the last boss and i dont really know what to do i have the object from de last boss(father)

[regal cave]

Chores until the deep north

[stable anvil]

it does nothing for now

[long breach]

Ah i see 🥲

[stable anvil]

although i dont know if the item itself will change to the correct one once the game updates or if you need to redo the boss

[nocturne wolf]

the item will update itself, you don’t have to fight again

[regal cave]

You could try a no map run with a group

[granite grail]

it was funny bc I killed a vile one night and then turned around ran a few feet and there was another one 😂 I have a vile trophy I can log on and give you I don't need it for anything

[long breach]

Yes why not it was a really fun game with my team i really appreciated it.

[dark coyote]

would you rather have no map or no portals?

[long breach]

And do you know if it will be the last boss in the north ? Will there eventually have an end to this game ?

[regal cave]

Deep north is the end yes

[long breach]

I dont really know what is the best but we will see bc i already played 300 hours 😂

[regal cave]

No map. No portals sounds more painful (ill get there one day)

[stable anvil]

would be a true patience stretcher to do no map no portal. i play with portals and ore through portals because i really don't wanna do all the extra sailing

[long breach]

And btw sometimes i see a ghost with a dark cape on his head but everytime that i reach to him he go away do you know what to do ?

[stable anvil]

thats Odin

he's just watching you

[long breach]

Oooooh i seee

[stable anvil]

a fun little thing

[granite grail]

Yacko plays no map no portal haha

[stable anvil]

i can respect people who take on the challenge

[regal cave]

I wonder if yacko would let me join his next run 🤔

[stable anvil]

i know people mark paths and stuff with the hoe but my memory and direction are so bad i would lose where i am for sure

[regal cave]

Once you know the tree the only downside to no map is not having an in game cartography device. You end up either trying to juggle the earth in your head or just making a map with third party based on your in-brain map

[granite grail]

After my current run finishes up I would love to play with Yacko or users I actually am familiar with from the Discord lol

[silk token]

if you're ok with the fact that i can play for like 1.5 hours a day max i'd consider it and it would depend on the lag

worst case i could empart some no map/portal wisdoms

[dim trellis]

i heard the no mappers use the world tree branch thing to orient ?

[regal cave]

If youre starting a new run when im not in the middle of one i would be interested

[paper marsh]

It’s difficult for sure. I hand drew my own map to keep myself on track and still got constantly lost

[dark coyote]

I like sailing, I'm leaning towards no portals

[dim trellis]

no portals makes it a lot easier to get lost heheheh

how about just die to get back to base 🧐

[paper marsh]

Though I haven’t played with it much, I do recommend no portals. It gives a new feel to the game that is hard to envision before trying it

No map is cool but takes a certain type of person imo. Most prob wouldn’t like it

[paper marsh]

Better hope you don’t have hardcore death penalty on too

[silk token]

I'll keep that in mind when a new run begins

[dim trellis]

what does that entail exactly

[silk token]

i doodle stuff too lol, it helps. to be honest sometimes i explore a "new" continent and find a campfire, it's a very strange feeling.

[dim trellis]

for better immersion, when your character goes underwater, pour real water on your hand drawn map

[silk token]

yeah... lol it's almost comforting having hardcore death cuz you don't have to find your body XD

[granite grail]

If I played with you ever I would be okay with no portals....but not no map XD

[silk token]

new run could start any day because this is the SECOND time a moder marker points me through a big cloud ball area...

[dim trellis]

hm im start a no portal yes map run that sounds cool

[silk token]

they actually go together really well, they're symbiotic

[granite grail]

Indeed, but the level of satisfaction I get from clearing whole continents coast to coast on the map and seeing that beauty is too satisfying for me. The map grounds me I need it loll

[silk token]

its gotten so i know exactly where i am and how far from home by looking at the tree, takes time and doing it a bunch obviously to see how the tree changes

[dim trellis]

hmmm

[silk token]

fair that's satisfying too, sometimes it's hard to move on not being entirely sure if i searched EVERYwhere for haldor or something

but there's nothign like seeing that glimmer in the distance

[dim trellis]

rob haldor

[dark coyote]

the merchants are evidence that there are other vikings around
or were...

[regal cave]

How so?

Their dialogue?

[dark coyote]

you wouldn't be a traveling merchant if you didnt think there were customers to be found

[regal cave]

I think they just have stuff bc theyre magicians and they like to scam you

[paper marsh]

On death you lose everything in your inventory (you don’t drop a tombstone) and your skills get reset to 0

I played in a server with that death penalty, very hard difficulty, 0.5 resources, no map, no portals, max raids. And a few personal challenges like not using bow at all

A bit frustrating at times but def the most interesting world I’ve played on

[regal cave]

At this point of super hardcore, dont you end up playing super soft core?

[paper marsh]

Never

Though I have since found I prefer regular hard mode difficulty

And that no map no portals was a one time thing to try out though fun

[regal cave]

Based

[dark coyote]

I think everyone should a passive/nocost/resourceX world just to experiment

[regal cave]

I like to fight so I wouldnt want to be against enemies I have to invici-roll around

[paper marsh]

I like to do a lot of my own challenges in addition to modifiers tho. I like being able to change things to what I like

[silk token]

then yeah very hard isnt my cup of tea either, hard is about right where you CAN parry things, but you better not mess up either

like currently galavanting around the mountains using 3 health foods i have JUST enough to parry a golem with upgraded silver shield

[paper marsh]

I played more with parrying and staggering, but yeah some enemies had to be rolled

Stagger damage is actually such a fun mechanic when you get used to it

[regal cave]

This is what I like

[dark coyote]

I think that math/system is the worst part of the game really

[paper marsh]

Fair. I just like that it gives weapons different identities

[dark coyote]

I like that but I don't like the "health = strength" rule, even if it is somewhat realistic

[paper marsh]

And with dealing less damage and more enemies being starred I found the thresholds of what I could or could not stagger was fair

[silk token]

i like hard because non-star are just strong enough i can still stagger with a battleaxe swing, star i need to parry or hit multiple times, and 2 star is like a little miniboss battle, so there's variety and not just dodge roll everything stab roll stab roll

that CAN be fun, but its a different game.

[dark coyote]

I think it sucks, you dont get anything for dodging

[silk token]

wellp, into the mist again, lets see if a new run starts tomorrow XD

[silk token]

u get adrenaline at least

[granite grail]

Sneak will be your best friend lol

[silk token]

as i mine into a rock face because it started storming and my rested buff is running out because this mistlands is enormous and i hve to turn back

im worried this moder is too far north or idk what

[granite grail]

O_O

Don't die bro 🙏

You can't sail any closer at all?

[paper marsh]

You get to stay alive

[silk token]

its hard to describe. so my last marker i THOUGHT pointed to this giant mountain. no moder, but the 3rd frost cave had another marker pointing straight down the side of the mountain through mist. so i figure ill go through the mist to the coastline, put a directional marker, sail to it and follow it ot the next continent. but here it's just miles and miles of rocky mist shores and swimming and jump spamming, classic mistlands experience

[granite grail]

Oof that sounds super tough. I would get out of the mists as soon as possible. But irrritatingly enough I've seen a lot of mountains that border Mistlands

[silk token]

same, ive gon ethrough them plenty. but its too far im already not certain i can get back to the mountain.

and it turned stormy night mode

so i dug a little hovel and lit a fire and ima wait til morning lol. and i guess just sail and look for another mountain close-ish in the direction-ish of the marker

[dark coyote]

this is the real vibe

[silk token]

it baited me in hard with the sound of the ocean, i was like oh yes i found the coastline! not. classic mistlands endless jagged rocks and water

and its funny i didnt bring enough wood for a bed, i swung on a sappling "too hard" ohhhh.......shhhh...right."

oh well thats all i get today. tomorrow's nap time maybe. hashtag dadgaming

[dull warren]

Alright maybe I should turn up the combat difficulty from Very Easy

Maybe turn on raids

yup done

[steel mica]

Why not just pump it up to VH combat
and FREQUENT raids 😅

[dull warren]

Because I would die

[steel mica]

Fair enough

[dull warren]

welp, my karve just got destroyed

[rancid pebble]

Can it be salvaged?

[dull warren]

Yea I got all the mats back

Right outside my base

I think I need a habour

[prime moth]

man the mistlands were predicted so early on

day2 in the meadows is essentially mistlands foreshadowing

[steel mica]

I cast thee... FOG IN DAY 2

[dull warren]

Cool, another queen bee, I hear you can get unlucky with those

[tribal perch]

damn, I woke up longing to play 1.0 ... been waiting for so loooooong ...

[nocturne horizon]

hey guys ! anybody on who just started a server and want another guy in ? im patient and always avalable

[pliant hatch]

There might be someone in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510 who'd like that.

[strange cradle]

Morgen, Gjall. 👋

[quasi night]

holy shit Ashlands is no joke. I managed to land but it was an uphill battle

is it just my setting or you can't see shit in this biome too ?

[strange cradle]

Visibility is actually not that bad, since it's mostly flat...

But the haze/shimmer might be impairing visibility.

[hushed niche]

It's smokey there. But if there is a storm it can get quite dark.

[merry pebble]

Are you there when its storming or at night/dusk perhaps?

[quasi night]

It's daytime, I'm sure of this one

[strange cradle]

Yeah, don't go there in a storm or at night.

It's always a bit gloomy, admittedly.

And congratulations, you've managed the biggest hurdle in Ashlands!

The rest is a piece of cake. 😄

[quasi night]

XD

[strange cradle]

Nah, not really. 😉

[quasi night]

thanks guys, I'll look into my settings, maybe I can optimize a bit

[strange cradle]

But yeah, landing there and establishing a foothold is really the most difficult part.

Explore, and be careful.

[hushed niche]

Bring lots of stone to build an earthen wall.

[strange cradle]

Or just a wall in general, as it's good to be not visible when at your foothold from the outside.

And you will soon find out that earthen walls are no longer indestructible...

[quasi night]

I'll build a small stone square, they keep attacking my portal

[strange cradle]

Yep. You need to hide it.

High enough wall on the outside does the trick.

And place the new nice and cheap Ashwood stakes around it.

[quasi night]

does ashwood and grausten buildings takes damages from the environnement in Ashlands ?

[merry pebble]

With the exception of ashwood floors the ashwood should be ok

[strange cradle]

Yep. But it's always good to have a shield generator close by.

Regular wood WILL perish.

[quasi night]

I took one with me

But I was thinking about building a small shack for my portal, would be good if it can survive even if I'm not feeding the shield

magic is still completely broken, the fact you use different ressources for running and attacking really boost your survivability

[sage vine]

raid one of the enemy base and use it as your own, You no longer needed a shield when you put the portal at the inside of the tower and it's walls are indestructable. Just make a hole in the wall where you're the only one that can get inside since the enemies are huge in ashlands. It is also can be made as a farming area

[quasi night]

I agree, but this is my first time in the biome, I want a secure foothold first before I go exploring

[stray flicker]

Hello, I'm a massive Valheim fan, currently 900+ hours and multiple solo playthroughs on the Vanilla setting, been a while since I played last I think it was around the time Ashlands came out, I'm thinking about doing another playthrough but this time I'd like to play on a multiplayer server, or "dedicated server", Im a big fan of building in the game and I dont want any super advanced mods, prefer vanilla but openminded to try stuff. Anyone hosting or know of a server like this? or where I might find one? 🙂 Thanks!

[sage vine]

I would suggest on building at the shore or use the rock formations on the sea just be sure that it's close to the land, vultures don't usually attack bases anyway

[quasi night]

that's the plan ^^

[sage vine]

also make sure to not build near the ash serpent (forgot the name) even at land it could still kill you.

[regal cave]

Good luck finding someone who says they'll play vanilla and actually does

[quasi night]

(phrase you can hear in valheim or at a munch)

[stray flicker]

Only mod I used in the past was no rain damage and infinite torches 😄 thats about how advanced as far as modding goes I want the server to be 😂

[sage vine]

Playing on vanilla is always the best though, I feel like mods are kinda like cheating but then again that's just me.

[stray flicker]

I always prefered vanilla aswell 100%

[regal cave]

Yeah I think anything other than "make the sign blue" is cheating

[stray flicker]

only mod I really need is no rain dmg because im a big fan of building and HATE the discoloring of the wood when rain damaged xD

[sage vine]

the only mod I was interested was the dragons but decided that the asksvin is already enough, still wish we could tame and mount seekers.

[regal cave]

Dragonrider is amazing but needs its own server IMO

[stray flicker]

so u guys thats a bit more current with the game, whats new since ashlands?

or nothing more added after that?

[sage vine]

but if you put roof there's no longer discoloration, unless you build like port or a garden then yeah the way it looks losing it's color is kinda sad

[stray flicker]

ye but I like doing fences and stuff with wood so makes no sense having roofs over stuff like that 😄

[regal cave]

Angled beams also deflect water damage. I think if the wood is touching stone, also

[sage vine]

I am at pause since I've been waiting for deep north, I already have 1,490hrs in the game with 4 playthroughs all done with ashlands and I don't want to get burnout in the game since I'm sure deep north's not gonna happen anytime soon.

[stray flicker]

ah I see yeah makes sense, I only did 1 ashlands playthrough and it was kinda rushed so would like to do another one before deep north comes out

[sage vine]

when deepnorth arrive I'm gonna make a new fresh save to also experience the updates that I missed after I took a break. I haven't killed an undead bear yet

[vague mantle]

1.0 is coming out this year right? also will there be updates after with actual content or is it planned to just be bugfixes

[strange cradle]

1.0 will have the complete new biome Deep North. There will also be additional content available for current biomes. There will be the usual bug fixes and more stuff.

And it will be done, when it's done. No current estimate as of yet.

[sacred jackal]

Do you guys think the reasources are enough to have a forever world in valheim?

[balmy seal]

It would be a long time before you exhausted every resource

[quasi night]

first day in the ashlands : no death, found a morgen cave, found some accessible flametal next to the shore. Now to find and conquer a fortress

[quasi night]

I really like gear progression in Ashlands, it's way better than in Mistlands

in ML you pretty much need to finish the biome to start playing with the new toys

[warm sphinx]

I kept missing the morgen caves when I first went there

Have to appreciate the fortresses with the giant "We're here" beacon

[abstract warren]

Yeah that gave me such lotr Minas Morgul vibes

[spark plover]

yeah I put my first base directly in front of one and didn't notice it at all, thought it was just some big rock

[abstract warren]

That would've been much funnier in a deadly way if the Morgen could actually come out of it

[spark plover]

that would have annoyed me so much, imagine the first Morgen you see just destroys your portal and everything

[abstract warren]

That'd be hell. Then again Ashlands is just that

[abstract warren]

Here's my first one #memes-and-clips message

[paper marsh]

I’d look through #1024264966712340510 or even make your own post

[stray flicker]

thanks 🙂 ❤️

[paper marsh]

Couple new armor sets and weapons (all very cool), ||BEARS||, new trader (sells very cool stuff)

[stray flicker]

any fun armor sets? 🙂

[warm sphinx]

Bear armor with blueberries. And a later, ||undead ||bear armor

[stray flicker]

oh didnt know about that, cool 🙂

I knew we had bears finally but ye

[paper marsh]

The new ones are pretty cool, buff your damage and stamina regen

[stray flicker]

nice, anything worth getting over the ashlands stuff?

depends how u play perhaps

[paper marsh]

They're more early-mid-game additions, so probably not

Other than for niche use cases or if you're a daredevil. One plains armor set I will sometimes use in ashlands

[stray flicker]

very cool either way

the more armor sets the better, just lets people play more how they want

would love another armor set like the troll one to let people play proper sneaky style 😄

[abstract warren]

Maybe the troll one is enough

+15 sneak ain't so bad

And if you're sneaky enough the armour value shouldn't even matter

[stray flicker]

true

just wish they implemented more sneak into the game

I know dagger etc works with troll armor very well

[abstract warren]

Yes actually I think it should become faster with the skill level

It's just too slow to be useful enough

[stray flicker]

ye true

[prime moth]

man i used to hate bears

they are such a nice entry to bf now though

[warm sphinx]

Are new players more scared of bears or trolls?
I got over my fear of trolls before the bear was added, so I can't really say

Bears are faster and more resistant to arrows so I would think bears

[prime moth]

bears are annoying to learn the attack patterns of

but if you just make like 6 torches you're just leveling mace skills

[abstract warren]

I found them scary at first

They can still be a jump scare if I'm playing on a new character

[dim python]

i always loved bears

[abstract warren]

But they're actually too stupid and easy if you just hold a torch and a 1h weapon on either hand. I really think this should be nerfed or something because it honestly just renders them to big walking dummies...

Also I'm pretty sure IRL wolves are the ones who are scared of fire

Not bears

[chrome badge]

I'm going to assume Trolls, simply because they will check you out if they see you from really far away. Bears just don't want you to get close to them.

[abstract warren]

I mean it would even make more sense in-game wouldn't it? Bears shouldn't be so easy to scare away like that. But wolves can come at you in packs so maybe it's ok to be able to scare them off just a bit and it can still be a challenge(?)

Because they can come at you from different directions so it kinda makes sense

[nocturne wolf]

torches scare creatures in a radius, direction doesn't matter

[abstract warren]

Nah it does

It's like a cone AoE

Saw one video about it

[chrome badge]

Blobicycake is speaking about their in-game functionality. I wouldn't recommend deploying real world logic across the board in a video game.

[abstract warren]

Yes I'm talking about the in-game functionality

When your character holds a torch they have an invisible cone in front of them which the bear AI reacts to

[chrome badge]

Ah okay, sorry I wrote that before I saw your other messages. 😅

[abstract warren]

Np 🙂

[chrome badge]

I can't speak to either, I've no clue how the torch functions personally.

[nocturne wolf]

have you tried testing this in-game or is this only something you've heard in a video?

it's a sphere that's centered on the held torch so it reaches a little further in front of you

[abstract warren]

I've tested it and it seemed like they do attack me once I turn my back to them

[nocturne wolf]

I'm testing now and the bear is moving back when I'm turned away

maybe you were too far from it?

remember you can block to push against it without turning

[abstract warren]

Block to push against what

[nocturne wolf]

the bear

[silk token]

to change direction youre facing

[chrome badge]

Bears will occasionally attack even with a torch present, I think there's a bit of a sweet spot with their attack checks.

[abstract warren]

Right yeah

[abstract warren]

Yes

But it's still OP

[nocturne wolf]

bear attack triggers are 3-5m long

[silk token]

thats what ive found too like they’re try to swipe into torch range from outside torch range, theyve definitely come at me while looking toward them

[abstract warren]

True

Either way I really think it's neither realistic nor balanced in-game...

[silk token]

idk i just fight em

i think its neat you can keep away wild animals with fire

[abstract warren]

Me too. They're not that hard

[abstract warren]

Yes but not bears

[chrome badge]

I've never minded it myself. Once you get comfortable fighting them, it all becomes irrelevant, so it's good that there's an option like that for players to deter them a bit during a learning period.

[abstract warren]

Wolves yes. Not bears. It's how it is IRL and would make more sense in-game as well imo

[nocturne wolf]

getting hunted would be too easy, you could just sit by a campfire. at least bears have attacks long enough to try hitting you

[silk token]

agree, my first time fighting them with zero knowledge i killed it fine, i learned about the bite attack lol and had to walk around healing back up but i learned

[chrome badge]

These bears are in Valheim not Midgard, maybe they have good reason to fear fire in Valheim.

[silk token]

but doggos like fires! thats how we became friends

[abstract warren]

With bears maybe just when you actually set them on fire they could maybe start getting scared at some point. At most

[abstract warren]

Hmm it's more about us feeding them I think

[silk token]

i think bears should be passive-ish UNTIL you set them on fire then they fight back

also then people cant lame them

[abstract warren]

Bears? Passive?

Lol

[silk token]

not passive but stalking like when you aim a torch at them

[abstract warren]

They do kinda stalk at first

Creeping towards you very creepily

[silk token]

well they have hearing and vision issues

but i mean if you have a torch they should be aggro’d and chasing/circling but if you smack em they should switch to full aggro, not just let you slowly burn them to death with a dull stick

[abstract warren]

Yes

[silk token]

or at least full on run away like a deer like fast so youd have to sprint to keep up

[abstract warren]

They do that sometimes

Just suddenly they start running away lol

I couldn't understand what triggers it. I think it happens with other mobs though like abominations and others too

They just suddenly give up and run away

[nocturne wolf]

if they're unable to attack for too long they'll run, this can be done easily if you're chasing them with a torch

[abstract warren]

Maybe just the AI pathfinding bugging

[abstract warren]

Ah ok

[silk token]

lots of mobs do this immediately too, the second i ambush them they just bolt and i dont see them again for days

[abstract warren]

Lolll

[abstract warren]

Gimme 👍 #suggestions message

[light gyro]

I just wish AI will be used in games, for example when a skeleton sees you oblitirate 30 other skeletons, it'll reconsider attacking

[abstract warren]

Yeah

[light gyro]

meow

[abstract warren]

Although it's a skeleton so maybe it makes sense if it's stupid and fearless

[silk token]

hehe, ghost of tsushima does this really great, when you do a “perfect parry” you can unlock a talent that nearby enemies go ohhhh HELLLL no and scatter

but ya not in valheim because they’re mindless killing machines

[light gyro]

yeah I always thought of if I hang a troll head right there they might get scared

[silk token]

or pissed

[light gyro]

I considered that too

maybe a level 2 troll head

[silk token]

actually trolls would be like “hah, jeff died, ooo dibs on his cave”

[light gyro]

that smh still attacts trolls level 3 for revenge

nooooo

[silk token]

oop actually im wrong i think trolls were at war with previous inhabitants meaning they had a sense of group

[light gyro]

oh

[dim python]

if i'm staring at a piggy is it not going to grow while i'm looking at it

[simple flower]

so like

whens the update

[pliant hatch]

When it's ready.

And since we haven't seen a message about that in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 my guess is that it isn't ready yet.

[simple flower]

so like, its in super early stage?

[abstract warren]

The RNG with birch seeds is so weird sometimes

[pliant hatch]

No. It's nearing 1.0 but it just isn't ready yet.

[abstract warren]

Can chop a whole grove and get so many seeds or non at all

[obtuse rapids]

a man who thinks all the time

[lone rampart]

They are taking the time necessary to ensure everything goes according to their plans. Not cutting corners to rush for some arbitrary deadline.

[simple flower]

yeah but its taking forever

[light moat]

It’s taking a while, yee. But it’s probably better this way so we have something of high quality.

[lone rampart]

It'll be here before you know it, you just have to show some patience.

[paper marsh]

@lyric flare what if I choose Trollstav 😈

#screenshots message

[dim python]

it turned daytime but the wraith won't go away 😣

[abstract warren]

How long for items to despawn when out of player structure radius?

[nocturne wolf]

only random spawned wraiths despawn, not wraiths from structures

[abstract warren]

Just faced my first wraith on this playthrough.. It killed me because it caught me offguard lol

Wasn't hard dealing with it after that though. It's all about the parry 🛡️

[dim python]

if i'm ready to stab it with a polearm it's not too bad

i was at suboptimal hp though that's what made it awful

just cheesed my way through a starred bear fight with bronze buckler parries

[nocturne wolf]

how did you cheese it

[timber marsh]

Well, I didn't even know trolls were in the game when one came after us and I shot an arrow at its head and just pissed it off, we ran like hell... we didn't get away

Poison arrows work good against wraiths

[abstract warren]

I love it when geysers spawn surrounded by water so the surtlings immediately die on spawn lol

[timber marsh]

Yep, we found two of those next to each other and setup a core farm

[lyric flare]

Haha nice 👍 have to have one Viking on repair duty. Mage weapons are fun but messy

[dim python]

hi veck 😞

i have a +3 bronze buckler and 3 hp foods and 2 star draugr archers still break my guard 🤦‍♀️

[dim python]

apparently wolves don't fear fire. one walked right into my house

[silk token]

that doesnt sound right, its possible you blocked too soon/late

[silk token]

you need 80-ish hp to parry a 2 star draugr with lvl 3 buckler, i think you just blew the parry or you already had your stagger bar partially filled

[dim python]

i was blocking arrows

[silk token]

multiple arrows?

[dim python]

i don't remember 😞

[silk token]

math says you can do it just fine, but if you took damage or parried something else before, your stagger meter may have been partially filled

have to mind your stagger bar during combat, it had to have been that if you parried correctly

[dim python]

i wasn't parrying i was blocking an arrow

[silk token]

ohhhhhh BLOCKING

yeah you need 160 health to BLOCK a 2 star

my bad i assumed you were parrying cuz bucklers are bad at blocking

now if you had an iron tower shield, more like 80. just good for thought. but i applaud your desire to improve your parrying

[regal cave]

W tower shields

[quasi night]

I just tried to parry a 2 star charred warrior with a carapace buckler

in retrospect, not a brillant idea

[regal cave]

It was a great idea

[past zenith]

Hi errbody, just started this game recently

[paper marsh]

Just eat 2-3 hp foods and use carapace buckler and it's fine

Assuming you're on normal difficulty

[paper marsh]

Wellcome new vikin' fren

[quasi night]

My health was low, I was fighting a valkyrie just before, it one-shotted me

[paper marsh]

Good news is (if you time it right and actually parry) you don't need very much health to parry them. Just need to have a lot of max hp (aka, health food in your stomach)

[quasi night]

overconfidence, slow and insidious killer, all that

plus I was on a corpse run, so plains food in ashlands

[paper marsh]

Valheim really has a way of punishing you

Unless you anticipate and prepare for everything and have great patience

[dim python]

did you see me mention that i parry cheesed a starred bear

[past zenith]

Yes it does haha, this boat has the stopping power of a semi truck but the durability of a bicycle

[thorn shuttle]

Am I doing myself a major disservice in holding off on Mistlands until Deep North comes out?

[granite grail]

I mean.....there's not any reason to wait. You can finish Mistlands and Ashlands and the drops from Fader will update automatically I've heard

[thorn shuttle]

I was mainly thinking due to world generation not being consistent when things update, like how if you had a save prior to the Ashlands releasing its content there wouldn't be Ashlands content in that world. unless i've read what people are saying wrong. in which case, you're right

I personally wasn't there for any biome updates so i'm not sure if that's how it works but that's the word i've heard from the bird

[paper marsh]

Yeah explored areas generally DO NOT get updated with new stuff. I think Ashlands update was a little weird and actually did update some explored Ashlands (and Deep North, because it prepared that biome somewhat too)

But generally you won't miss out on much content as long as you hold off on going to Deep North

[silk token]

hehe yes and i wasnt sure what u meant by "cheesed" that sounds very not cheese

[tacit crystal]

Already explored areas stay as they are, unexplored areas will get any new content.

[paper marsh]

There might be stuff added to previous biomes, though probably not a tonnnnnn. In that case you could have already missed some of it tho if you've explored most the meadows/bf/mountains/plains in the world

[dim python]

just parried every attack and when it worked i hit it back

i parried some slams and one bite

[silk token]

that is not cheese my fellow warrior that is ferocity

[thorn shuttle]

ah right thank u both 🙂

[dim python]

can abomination sideswipes be parried with an iron buckler?

and high shield skill

[silk token]

anyone know.... does building piece direction reset/change when you exit the game? my only hope of leaving the mist is not pointing exactly how i remember

[quasi night]

every abom attack can be parried with a bronze buckler 3

[dim python]

i can confirm you always face forward

[dim python]

gotta try this #u#

[quasi night]

but once you're close to it, it only use its "core pound" attack

[nocturne wolf]

the heavy branch attack can be avoided by getting close to the abomination

[quasi night]

the wiki calls it ground slam

[silk token]

i mean like i have a building piece with my hammer angled a certain way because no map, and i need to follow it out of cloudy rock walls, but idk if its still pointing how i left it before logging out

[dim python]

i'm aware

[silk token]

omg i made it out of the mist lol. i saw tentacles. never thought id be so happy to see snow

[paper marsh]

@inner sinew maybe server owner can put "player-based events" toggle on?

Not sure how well that works if toggled in the middle of the server. Only ever done it at start

[dark coyote]

the tea bag 🫣

[dim python]

root armor is mostly superior to bear patterns, right?

obviously don't get set on fire

[paper marsh]

Yea, but like almost everything its preference too

Bear armor is faster, higher stamina regen, and extra damage

Root is tanky af against pierce, slightly more armor, saves you poison resist mead, and buffs bows

[dim python]

this is a conundrum

is -2% speed really that much

[paper marsh]

Nah

[paper marsh]

Good, means things are balanced <3

[dim python]

i think i used trollthink to show i wasn't actually thinking

[regal cave]

One playthrough i did the run was such a mess with cheaters i decided to see how far i could rush in just troll armor and root harnesk and a finewood bow and let me tell you the mistlands isnt that bad at all

[dim python]

what's the point of troll armor if you're not wearing the whole thing...?

style?

[regal cave]

Its blue

[dim python]

i'll admit blue is pretty cool

[sharp bluff]

better than leather and it doesnt need bronze

[dim python]

i mean once you have root you don't need troll either

and bear armor is pretty good....

[paper marsh]

The troll armor set bonus is pretty trash. Only reason for troll armor is just that it gives good armor and doesn't slow you down

[sharp bluff]

root is overpowered

[silk token]

its crazy that if they removed the -75% id still say it was balanced with the +bows

[regal cave]

But once u have the harnesk that means you have needle arrows which means ur a god until ashlands

[paper marsh]

I wish they made the pierce resist a set bonus. Feel it would be fairly balanced then

Still vv good in swamp, but a lil' less in plains/mistlands/ashlands

[regal cave]

I think I was also rocking serpent shield too

[sharp bluff]

if it doesnt parry i aint using it

[dim python]

i haven't unlocked needle arrows yet thinkingslow

[queen wadi]

Frost or obsidian arrows are my preferred but needle is alot cheaper

[paper marsh]

I prefer fang myself

That's a spear tho, not an arrow

[regal cave]

Whats up skinny

[queen wadi]

Howdy doodily

[regal cave]

Thought about building a cube the other day ngl

[queen wadi]

Gotta build the longhouse

[dim python]

to put it in perspective... what's the movement penalty of the iron chestpiece?

[silk token]

i think all heavy is -5% right?

chest or legs

[dim python]

-2 isn't that bad...

[queen wadi]

The main difference you'll probably find is its harder to sidestep draugr attacks but still possible

The root still has plenty of speed to bait out attacks

[dim python]

the good thing about root though is those archers won't be as effective 🫠

[silk token]

arite wellp rip. i was given sweet release from this cursed seed. just slogging through endless mists for a mountain peak that would never come until i was forced to sail through a tight space where starred seekers jumped onto my boat. couldn't fight couldn't run.

[queen wadi]

Arrows can be parried

[dim python]

woah

[queen wadi]

Almost all projectiles can be

[dim python]

hold my coffee

[queen wadi]

Practice on the blue dudes that throw stones

[dim python]

i started practicing with twig before you said that

[queen wadi]

Definitely safer option

[regal cave]

Rip

[silk token]

omg the mountain peak i was goign to wasnt even the right mountain peak still. jesus christ. worst moder spawn ive seen i think ever

[dim python]

twig is also a great place to practice parrying i'm finding

[queen wadi]

He does have a varied moveset

[dark coyote]

parrying is more about the enemy imo

[dim python]

yeah but like if i can parry twig maybe i can parry anyone

[regal cave]

Is twig attack not stone golem attacks?

[dim python]

#u#

[queen wadi]

I find he's closer to a later game enemy with how he can delay his attacks

[dim python]

he's my friend now

[silk token]

well im going on a week vacation next week anyway, so then when i get back i can start a new run in 1.0? 🙃 🤪 😭 🤮 🤔

omg the yagluth spawn was horrible too, ida never found it. its actually so good i died when i did

[paper marsh]

I'm going for a one month business trip in May

I don't think (and honestly, don't hope) it'll come out while I'm gone

[prime moth]

man ive been playing so recklessly lately

i gotta go back to being super safe and not losing entire runs to silly nonsense

[queen wadi]

The ancestors demand glory

[prime moth]

i cant believe my arrogance allowed me to think i could solo 3 dverger mages lol

[queen wadi]

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

[amber tusk]

how can i tell if i am ready for the bonemass

iron sledge t1 + iron helmet t3 + rest troll armor t3 should do the trick? And throw anti poison drinks along the way

[dark coyote]

yeah theyre strong, I ate 💩 earlier trying to get an extractor and agro'd them, ran back and the ice mage one shot me

[prime moth]

you'll be fine with that yeah

[sage shadow]

iron parry shield , iron mace, and some potions will do the work
the attack pattern of bonemass is too easy if you practice bit

[amber tusk]

I don't think i found the recipe for the mace yet, so i invested in the sledge already, can i not parry with it?

shits expensive

[prime moth]

oh sorry yeah i'd make a mace, dont try to parry bonemass imo

roll on through that fight

[sage shadow]

i meant the blunt one handed weapon and iron buckler

[paper marsh]

I haven't used sledge much but I don't think it would be great for the fight. Mace would be a lot more reliable

[dim trellis]

you cant not know the iron mace recipe 🤔

[maiden sable]

i mean u can but it wont stagger him for extra dmg and dont u dare beeing hit cuz ouchydaisy

[paper marsh]

You should have the recipe for mace, it's basically just iron

Sledge is the one requriing a special trophy to make

[amber tusk]

ill figure out as long as it doesn't stagger should be fine but i never fought it, my two week valheim phase has never reached that far

[dark coyote]

thats how I beat him, raise ground and sledge him, portal on the skull to I can repair

[prime moth]

thats hilarious

[sage shadow]

i just parried everything 😂

[amber tusk]

also my gf will be watching the stream i really don't wanna mess it up

[dim trellis]

is ymir flesh from npc vendor?

[prime moth]

bonemass is easier than eikthyr you just want a poison pot

[amber tusk]

From dark forest shop vendor

[maiden sable]

thats the most important part

[paper marsh]

(Yeah trying not to recommend cheesing him on the first go). Do you need raised ground tho? Can't you just sit on skull?

[amber tusk]

I respect people who can spell the names from the game on the fly

[sage shadow]

i dont agree with this

[dark coyote]

no but I put the portal there

[dark coyote]

yeah eikthyr is pretty easy if you pole dance

[prime moth]

he attacks like once a minute

[dim trellis]

truth

the visuals and music are trying to trick you

[maiden sable]

u can just walk arround bonemass altar too. worst he can do is throw

[prime moth]

eikthyr i start when i shouldnt very often and get into must dodge or die situations lol

[maiden sable]

pretty handy if u miss a parry and didnt get health pots cuz of arrogance and get hit anyway 🤡

[prime moth]

if you prep well for bonemass its virtually impossible to die

[paper marsh]

Same for Eikthyr

I do usually put eikthyr off for a bit to get boar raids instead of greydwarf raids

[sage shadow]

skeleton suprise..
they murdered my wolf herd

[prime moth]

thatd be smart

i usually start eikthyr the second i see it and uh sometimes it goes poorly lol

[maiden sable]

i did him without even knowing raids exist then realized i need to kite mr shaman and his crew arround my pond to survive....legendary fight. would recommend 🤣

[amber tusk]

i died at least 15 times to the mosquitos

[dark coyote]

I know they coded tamed animals to increase the chance, and type, of raids

[amber tusk]

just mereley existing within 2 miles from plains and one stray fuck decides to aggro

[sage shadow]

idk bro i got raided 2 times in row

[dark coyote]

same, back to back bat raids, I said fine forget it, and no raids since

[amber tusk]

I was thinking of skipping the dude because of that and relying on ol reliable troll labour

[paper marsh]

Fair, personally though Eikthyr is the power I use 90% of the time so I wouldn't wanna go without it

[prime moth]

one of you silly billys summoned the forrest on me

[sage shadow]

oopsies

[amber tusk]

btw anyone have an idea why carrots keep dying on me?

[sage shadow]

floor on them?

[amber tusk]

seems fine at first but then i go away and come back and they disappear

[dim python]

i keep mine in my castle walls. greylings or boars might be attacking them

[amber tusk]

just a field processed with the tool

[amber tusk]

That is a thing in the game?

[sage shadow]

might be this then?_

try placing workbenches around your base

never heard of carrots disappearing

[dim python]

yep

[paper marsh]

Too close to walls, roof over them, nearby enemies attacking them if not enclosed, nearby shamen attacking it by spitting poison through walls

[sage shadow]

are you in meadows?

[prime moth]

eyeball stonks

[dim python]

oh yeah i also built a moat around my castle 🫠

no need to worry about shamans poisoning the poor funks through the wall

[maiden sable]

now put a storm serpent in the moat

[sage shadow]

wat

[queen wadi]

Who needs a castle when you have a 50x25 longhouse

[maiden sable]

i think it shouldnt despawn at least i saw some capture serpents as pets (those found in storms)

soooo...if u put it in a moat....🤣

[prime moth]

2 walls and a roof

all ya need

[unreal jolt]

can't grow yggdrasil or ashwood, cringe

[paper marsh]

Growing a world tree would sure be... interesting

[uncut egret]

Should they bring crossbows to valheim?

[solemn crown]

Gonna head into the Mountains. Should I pack the fire arrows, or the bronze arrows?

[nocturne wolf]

I make a stack of iron arrows for my first time in mountains, then you can upgrade to obsidian

[sage shadow]

we alr got crossbows arent we

[queen wadi]

Bro doesnt know

[nocturne wolf]

I don't make metal arrows for anything else

[uncut egret]

How do I get it?

I need it

[nocturne wolf]

you need to progress into the sixth biome

[sage shadow]

Google> valheim> how to obtain crossbow

[maiden sable]

*fast

[sage shadow]

immediately

[dim trellis]

isnt it an arbalest

[sage shadow]

whatever
it does same thing

[dim trellis]

true

[paper marsh]

Google "How to enable devcommands"

Google "Valheim crossbow" for the item ID

[sage shadow]

spawn arbalest 1 p

[dim python]

(and use critical thinking instead of an ai generated answer)

[maiden sable]

def the fastest way 10|10 lmao

[unreal jolt]

do kinda wish we could farm the yggdrasil shoots and hares specifically, mistlands food is a huge chore

[maiden sable]

*and then realizing that the ai gaslit u

ai can be a djinn 😭

[queen wadi]

Imagine

[maiden sable]

dont trust ai

[dim python]

imagination is much easier without ai

[maiden sable]

unless its math....its mostly good at math

[queen wadi]

Imagine imagining your imagination

[paper marsh]

For hares you can put up some sharp stakes around the place. They'll passively kill hares

Luckily you don't need yggdrasil for the food so once you get your gear you're set

[regal cave]

i can imagine my imagination rotating 360 degrees

[sage shadow]

wat

[unreal jolt]

Well, ok, i mentioned yggdrasil because I want to build out of it

forgot to specify RIP

[regal cave]

guess u cant :/

[dim python]

can you rotate an apple over all 3 axes in your head

[queen wadi]

There's 1? Buildable that needs ygg wood

[sage shadow]

no but i can stall automatic car

[paper marsh]

closer to 15 I'd say

[queen wadi]

Not including weapons/tools/workstations only one i can think of is the light thingy

[unreal jolt]

you get access to more as you progress through mistlands

[paper marsh]

big building things are the door, stairs, and stakewalls

For me I use a lot on Ballistas too

[dim python]

father odin help me... i'm planning on turning a little stream into a canal...

[solemn crown]

Done that. Deeply frustrating, but rewarding once I was done.

[queen wadi]

One could imagine sisiphus proud

[unreal jolt]

...I really need to move my base but man am I attached to this spot.

It's a totally crappy useless super steep hill in the meadows, but it's built on top of an abandoned structure that somehow generated here

[nimble adder]

has anyone seen friendly greylings before? one is just wandering around out village and another is in a guard bunker as a soldier

[grand juniper]

Built a zoo in the planes and swamp. It ended like the jurassic park movies did

[sick ridge]

I went sailing and found a small island that was mostly meadows and a slice of dark forest, so naturally I destroyed everything and built on it to make it square and I'm in the process of turning it into my base

[grand juniper]

Missed a chance to make it into a giant skull island

[merry pebble]

Making farm this way i would get, but why not use existing terrain if you are making base, it would be prettier 😄

[sick ridge]

I can always change the shape, but the map doesn't update anyway

[sick ridge]

because I wanted it to be higher than water

[nimble adder]

btw do greydwarfs start spawning in the meadows at night after you kill bosses?

[unreal jolt]

i do wish the 8m deformation limit wasn't a thing

i would love to make huge terraces on a mountainside, but you can barely get a meter of flat space with a massive stone investment

[sick ridge]

There is a small sub-island next to the big island, so I'm considering elevating it as well and building a house on it, then connecting them with a bridge and having access to a boat that way, too

[sharp bluff]

every boss causes an "upgrade" to the meadows, for that matter

[nimble adder]

we have noticed skeletons after killing bonemass

[unreal jolt]

i am in post-yagluth and still only getting greydwarves at night in meadows

[nimble adder]

but we are next to a swamp

[sharp bluff]

those can show up pre eike if certain conditions are met

[nimble adder]

does it upgrade all the biomes?

[sharp bluff]

dont think so

[grim bay]

i rly hate this ngl

[sharp bluff]

i wouldnt care if bat raids didnt exist

[grim bay]

makes for alot of cleanup around the base every night

[unreal jolt]

...huh, i just realized

i haven't been base raided in like 25 ingame hours?

but i just checked the settings and raids are at normal rate on this world

[sharp bluff]

the trench wolves will solve that problem

[paper marsh]

Don't think Moder does?

Though i never really pay attention to spawns like that

[sharp bluff]

hm... now that you mention it...

she doesnt even cause the bat plague

[nocturne wolf]

we need bat night spawns

[tacit crystal]

So we can smack them with wooden mace/atgeir/battleaxe for huge knockback.

[unreal jolt]

bat raids are the only reason i enclosed my boar pen

though by the time i was getting bat raids, boar meat was basically irrelevant...

[abstract warren]

Swamp raid at the worst timing

What happens if I portal away and ignore it?

[nocturne wolf]

the timer pauses when nobody is around

[sharp bluff]

food to repopulate the trench wolves
they tend to die en masse if something actually scary drops down

[unreal jolt]

tbh i just dig trenches and ignore every raid i ever get

[abstract warren]

"The gods are merciful" is so ironic lol

[unreal jolt]

or live on an island

[abstract warren]

F U gods enables godmode

[sharp bluff]

given we are talking about the old gods... they sure are
less "turn the other cheeck", more "smite the rando for funsies"

[abstract warren]

Yeah

I'mma play god now

And do just that

[unreal jolt]

I think "the gods are merciful" is an acknowledgement of you not being sent straight to Helheim for failing your trial in Valheim

the mercy is you getting another chance by way of respawning

[abstract warren]

I guess

[solemn crown]

Ventured into a small patch of Mountains near my main base. Found no silver. No onions. No obsidian. No caves. Many wolves found me, though. None bothered to drop a trophy.

[sharp bluff]

certified classic

[nocturne wolf]

silver and obsidian has a minimum spawn height so you need the big mountains

[sharp bluff]

main island rarely spawns a large enough mountain, ye

[solemn crown]

Irritating.

[unreal jolt]

outside of a single key point of interest in the Plains later on, I think the mountains are probably the meanest biome in the game in terms of RNG wasting your time

[nocturne wolf]

I agree if you're getting stuff from frost caves but for basic progression you can get through without much luck

not like swamps where you need to find turnips

[unreal jolt]

...actually swamps are worse. way worse

[solemn crown]

I found Turnips early.

[unreal jolt]

it's been so long since i went through that struggle i forgot how luck based iron acquisition and turnips are

[solemn crown]

And carrotys, too. I was lucky with seeds. Up to now.

[nocturne wolf]

multiple times turnips have been the last thing I get in preparation for bonemass

[sharp bluff]

i once searched 3 swamps for a single plant...

[solemn crown]

Unfortounate.

[unreal jolt]

this playthrough i'm in right now is probably the worst time i've ever had just getting iron

sailed out to the mistlands to the east and west without finding a single swamp with a dungeon in it

[sharp bluff]

and then you find one and its one crypt without a chest

[unreal jolt]

the freestanding iron veins in the swamp being fully hidden below ground is a diabolical move too

like bruh i am done obtaining iron by the time i have the wishbone, useless

the thing that prevents me from blindly digging around for the veins is that you're likely to be unable to reach 60% of every surface vein since it'll be too deep below sea level for you to stand and dig on

got my fingers crossed hoping that the swamp gets a good glow-up with 1.0

[tacit crystal]

There were also those cases where some people missed turnips and went through lower tier foods until Ashlands.

[paper marsh]

Oh I always go get turnips before Elder

[sharp bluff]

extra hard mode

[unreal jolt]

... i have the galdr table before killing the elder

[sharp bluff]

you cant parry starred enemies with that low stamina and if you eat triple stamina you get oneshot

[unreal jolt]

but that's because i have just skipped the elder entirely :U

[nocturne wolf]

why?

[unreal jolt]

He was stupidly far away when I found a vegvisr so I just never bothered

My second yag arena is pretty close to him though, I could go hack him into pieces with black metal

[solemn crown]

How did you get Iron?

[unreal jolt]

funny chair clip to get past the gates

[sharp bluff]

the painful way i guess

or the easy one lul

[unreal jolt]

the elder isn't even hard, i just couldn't be bothered to sail out to the Mistlands in a Karve

i have never seen an elder arena as far away as this one is, it's nuts

i'd have toughed it out but this is like my 9th playthrough of the game, i just wanted to see the Mistlands and Ashlands stuff that's all new since I last played years and years ago

[solemn crown]

I thought the Elder was hard as heck. I only beat him because he got stuck on something, and I shot fire arrows at him until he gave up.

[nocturne wolf]

were you using ranged weapons the whole time? his melee attack is very slow

[solemn crown]

I was using a poor weapon choice, and hadn't gotten the hang of blocking.

[abstract warren]

This is probably the most punishing game I've played so far. At least solo

And no I never played any soulslike games lol

[abstract warren]

Yeah once you get good with parrying a lot of it becomes easy actually. As long as you don't accidentally wander into the next biome prematurely. Like I just did.

[nocturne wolf]

parrying is too op

[distant stream]

Is there a mistland/ash weapon for fist?

[tacit crystal]

Nope.

Vilebone maulclaws fare well there tho.

[distant stream]

Would of been nice to have a blood version -_-

[past zenith]

Anyone rocking out to some Amon Amarth while playing this game?

[lofty plank]

anyone want to play together add me on disc

[merry pebble]

#1024264966712340510 😄

[dim python]

how far outside the meta are raw onions?

[tacit crystal]

Jormsviking album goes hard while fighting in Ashlands.

[merry pebble]

I never eat them raw since onion soup exists 😄

[dim python]

i haven't unlocked a single cauldron upgrade 💔

[tacit crystal]

I make onion soup only for mountain feast.

[sage shadow]

is there any sword or weapon that works like looting enchant in minecraft

[merry pebble]

No, but you can increase the drops with world modifiers 🙂

[queen wadi]

No ?

[dim python]

never found any turnips 💔

[queen wadi]

Sadge

[distant stream]

I hope the new biome is gonna have a new fist weapon , i aint got 84 on that for nothing!

[nocturne wolf]

deep north needs every weapon type, we've had the same fishing rod since bf

[distant stream]

At least this game actually kept up with bows!

[queen wadi]

Bows are fun but my ancestors demand i use the hate stick

[plush carbon]

It's strange that the ship they give you after the Mistlands, being twice or more the size of the previous ship, has the same space. Do you know if they've suggested increasing the space?

[upbeat crypt]

running into a weird problem here. A can join B through FL join game, but if A is hosting B gets "incompatible version" after password. Both made sure we're on public thing and both restarted client.

[merry pebble]

The drakkar has 14 more slots than longship tho... 😅

[merry pebble]

Anyone using mods? And by "public thing" do you mean public test branch? If so then i believe it would be better to go to live branch.

[last otter]

Do we have any idea when Deep North is dropping?

[merry pebble]

We do not sadly 🙂

[upbeat crypt]

we're all on the #1 bullet point

[last otter]

Ah.

[sacred jackal]

whats the best way to gather feathers?

[merry pebble]

If you are before plains in progresion then i would say exploring black forest chests and dungeons, or you can hunt birds with bow or spear 🙂

[sacred jackal]

im still in the swamp, but I can handle plains. do birds spawn more often there?

[nocturne wolf]

no, there's a new source available

[upbeat crypt]

Plains because needle arrows don't eneed feathers

[sacred jackal]

oh

[nocturne wolf]

that doesn't help for gathering them

[upbeat crypt]

I'm just guessing what he meant by plains

[merry pebble]

1- they do need them
2- not what we mean 😄

[paper marsh]

sadly

Damn things are so strong they kinda invalidate most other weapons

[sacred jackal]

so what does plains have to do with feathers?

[paper marsh]

That it's where you unlock feather farms

[tacit crystal]

Heh, "feather farm".

[gray sand]

@lone rampart Valheim banking by J. P. Morgen 😛

[sacred jackal]

ohhhhhh I just looked it up

lmao thanks

hopefully this farm works because the boar farm I check on youtube, with different variations, doesnt seem to work

[dim python]

how did.... real people... set the foundations needed for bridges in large bodies of water...?

[queen wadi]

The cart method

[merry pebble]

Make water tight barier at the place you want to lay foundation at, then pump water out

[dim python]

#n#

[dim trellis]

valheim water table is undefeatable

[craggy tangle]

real people built channels to redirect water flow to bare the river beds to build the bridge and then would let the water back on main course afterwards

[maiden trellis]

Lol

[upbeat crypt]

huh what?

[dim python]

i have 2 medium healing meads brewing #u#

i am happier

[sharp bluff]

getting concrete right underwater fucking sucks

easier to do it without the water, much easier

[dim python]

we're still talking about bridges

this is actually ok

[merry pebble]

That is how some foundations for bridges were being built in the past 😄 (in fact the same principle is used even today)

[dim python]

kind of want to brain out practicing on twig until the mead's done #u#

[sharp bluff]

basically any large piece of concrete is a pain in the ass to make and needs very deliberate hardening of the concrete
you know what hardens concrete? yeah, fucking water

[dim python]

hmm

i'm sure people have probably been trying to figure out how to have concrete harden while underwater for quite a while #u#

[sharp bluff]

yeah, and we can

problem is the size

[dim python]

it is once again a question of scale 🗿

[sharp bluff]

cuz it also gets more annoying the larger the piece is
to the point where its basically a dedicated engineering branch in large scale construction

[dim python]

i never thought i'd go back to nerding out about engineering #u#

if i seem a little wound tight i'm sorry

brb

[prime moth]

man im on the hunt for schrodingers elder rn

this things got me runnin so many directions

[dark coyote]

no vegs?

[prime moth]

like 8 of them they all keep running me around

i wonder if im like between two spawns or something

ok i gave up and flew around to find it

it was between like 4 mountain ranges next to a plains... like come on lol

i thought i was close so i found one that pointed me there

but it wanted me to run through the swamp

[merry pebble]

I mean... shouldnt be that much of a problem if you are looking for elder already 😄

[prime moth]

no i put myself back at that one and decided to just run through

i spent like 30 minutes going around it to finally end up at a mountain and a plains and was like..... yeah naw lol

[safe flower]

Has anyone had an issue with abominations dying when they spawn?

[paper marsh]

Nope

[prime moth]

you know what you're right

ill start over again

[abstract warren]

Shouldn't the sword's stab attack deal pierce damage instead of slash?

[merry pebble]

That has been a suggested change for quite some time now i believe 😄
Would make sense, but might make the swords just a bit too OP with different dmg types being good against different things

[prime moth]

i just thought it was but never considered it

the reasoning makes sense though

[gray sand]

Oh if we start down this path it's a long dark road of what things "should" do other things 😭

[tacit crystal]

At the same time they would suffer against bosses due to most of their pierce resistance.

[nocturne wolf]

I think it would be a bad idea becasue of how extreme all of the damage modifiers are. Against so many enemies only one of your two attacks would be viable.

[dark coyote]

need to nerf resistances across the board

[nocturne wolf]

we need enemies using new 25% modifiers

[prime moth]

ah yes the day2 fog............

WHAT A PLEASURE

breathe it in 😮‍💨

[solemn crown]

I'm sailing around the swamp, looking for a good place to start building a stone tower, and there is a skeleton following me. He's just walking along the ocean floor. I can see him, and he can't reach me, but whenever I make landfall, he'll be there.

[silk token]

kind of creepy AF really

reminds me of “it follows” anyone cool enough to know that movie?

[solemn crown]

Well, shit.

Does it auto-save when I quit or log out?

[regal cave]

Its like that movie with the spoon

[solemn crown]

Damn. I was trying to figure out what the little green thing was, and I got dead suddenly.

[prime moth]

this movie is fucking amazing

the composer is one of my favorites of all time

[balmy seal]

I remember that one

[paper marsh]

For player resistances I agree. It’s agregious how you can become resistant to most of the elements by just downing some potions, take half off enemies damage with a chest piece, or even override stuff like VERY WEAK with a quick potion

For enemies it’s fine imo. The resistances force you to diversify a bit in weaponry, though it’s maybe a bit skewed the amount of resistances and weaknesses of each type that enemies have

[dark coyote]

yeah, I don't like being forced to diversify a bit

[paper marsh]

Fair, seems like the devs do though so I imagine it won’t change much

[robust nexus]

Hello all, i am new here and im N/A looking for a Valheim server that is acceoting new players

[hearty niche]

one of us one of us

#1024264966712340510 is the place

You post both "I am person looking for game" and "I am game looking for persons"

[robust nexus]

trying to learn more. ive been playing it vanilla and i like it but a friend suggested joining a server.

oh ok thank you

[hearty niche]

The first time I played the game Feb 2021 - I said "OK I get the appeal but it feels like something is missing". The thing I was missing was others to play it with. It's still fun solo but it's really fun with others.

[robust nexus]

not exactly sure how to make a post in that channel. Did i do it right? lol

[granite grail]

yep!

[prime moth]

whats the % an axe head is in a house structure again?

is it 10%? ive gone through i think 30 houses rn lol

[tacit crystal]

55%.

Also they are found in certain types of wooden structures.

[pliant hatch]

On a newly generated map.

On maps prior to that update the chance is significantly less.

[prime moth]

definitely a new map

lol

damn im super unlucky i guess. i got the mysterious axe head, was stoked to have a map with the 🪓

[sacred jackal]

How do you guys handle the berries? there's so much recipes that needed it but there's only a small amount in per group of them to the point that you have to spend 5 hours getting stocks back up

[light moat]

Typically when I’m out exploring, I’ll mark large patches on my map. Once supplies run low, I’ll do a little route going from each dot as needed.

Usually doesn’t take more than 15-20 minutes to get a substantial amount

[lofty kiln]

AUUUGH I died IN MY BOAT in the swamp because immediately while I was rolling up a wraith thing killed me, now I have to make a new boat and go ALL THE WAY BACK

[sacred jackal]

I guess I just have to find those spots in my world first huh

[glad dome]

yeah, it isnt too difficult though

[sacred jackal]

Groups of 5+ is good enough to mark on the map?

[light moat]

Yeah that’s the first step haha sometimes those abandoned villages will have a lot of raspberries. Also be sure to mark mushrooms, those can be nice to have as well.

[glad dome]

i would say so yes

though i believe some harvestables are more likely to spawn in smaller patches

im not sure though so take it with a grain of salt

like generally i wont find very big mushroom patches, but ive seen large ones before

[lofty kiln]

Lesson learned, keep an extra set of materials for a boat ON HAND at ALL TIMES at spawnpoint

[sacred jackal]

why not make a portal?

[dull warren]

Yeah I hate that villages all seem to have raspberries planted, but I can't plant them

[lofty kiln]

Because I physically couldn't land fast enough to make one, I got killed by a wraith in my boat

[sacred jackal]

I have 2 portals when I explore, 1 for where I docked my boat, 2nd for whatever im doing when I get full

Ohhh, that sucks

[lofty kiln]

Saw the text "swamp" and then I was donezo

[sacred jackal]

my first time in swamp, the place is hella annoying

had to dock my boat in a different biome next to it

one time I wasnt paying attention and rammed my ship in the biome lmao

[light moat]

The ancient art of farming berries, lost to time 🫡

[dull warren]

Acutally I can go with that suspension of disbelief, that works

[steel forge]

Favorite thing so far about current play through was dying to a wraith on our first karve. Buddy was able to take the rudder escape and pick me up back on the spawn continent. I grabbed my inventory in time for an underwater archer to destroy the karve. We had to scamper through the swamp and build a raft and white knuckle it back to spawn island and our base.

[glad dome]

it be like that

lowkey i personally play with the world modifier that lets me keep my armor and weapons on death. just so i dont end up quitting after dying lol

[lofty kiln]

Yea, I mean I'm gonna dock in the black forest and make a quick bed point, just so I don't have to do the whole thing again

[lofty kiln]

That's the plan for my second playthrough, gonna go more building focused on that one, not that I'm rushing my first one

[glad dome]

im not sure if you were aware, im fairly certain you can change world modifiers when the world is already made

[lofty kiln]

I know you can but I'm not about to back out of this, even if it is annoying

[glad dome]

ohhh, i thought you werent aware, my bad. in that case then follow your best judgement

[silk token]

man. was just messing around on one of my endgame worlds. i forgot how SUPREMELY TERRIBLE battering ram design is. let me pin myself against a pointy wall and unleash a flood of enemies against me while I'm tethered to a large monstrosity blocking me from going anywhere assuming i manage to unstrap myself from it with a fiddly click or a dodge roll. i'm surprised the raven doesn't come down like "ScraaAAAW??? i think you have that BACKWARDS!"

[lofty kiln]

Aw man, halfway through my recovery trip I just realized I totally could've brought a portal in case I die again

Welp

LIKE THAT

Not me googling how to noclip around in the game so I can just go grab my shit

[hollow ermine]

does any1 know how i can use my old character in a new world

[maiden sable]

thats my golden rule before fighting. also healing mead saves lifes

(if u have any)

(i absolutely did not get smashed by a berserker twice before implementing that rule and i clearly did not take all and forgot im too heavy without my belt )

[hearty niche]

I always thought naked raft trips of shame were a rite of passage in this game hahah

On our friend server I ended up having to buy 3 rounds of drinks betting against my friends making it back safely. Man those were fun times.

[balmy seal]

Naked raft trip of shame, hahaha

I like that

[lofty kiln]

On my way home from my first swamp run with 21 iron scraps, and my first impression is... I really, REALLY need to make some meads and better foods.

[balmy seal]

Yeah, don't sleep on making a cauldron. Better food means survival.

[lofty kiln]

Yea, I mean I did alright with my carrot soup, but I have a skill issue so I really need something for health

And upgrades, gonna get more bronze for armor upgrades

Slept on that a TON

Tbf it is only my 3rd day playing

[balmy seal]

I tend to skip bronze armor and stay with troll. I don't like the movement debuff.

[lofty kiln]

I haven't been able to kill enough of them to make more than a cape 😭

Either I can't find them when I want them or they sneak up when I'm completely out of stamina and end my fun

[dark flare]

Does anyone have Majestic Carapace from the Queen I can borrow for 3 seconds to learn the pattern for the Artisan Press>

I can invite you to a server or join yours. I'll give it back immediately.

[prime moth]

if you're rested and not wet you should be able to fight still if its 1v1

[balmy seal]

The groups of greydwarves that appear can be a real hassle.

[lofty kiln]

Just 2v1'd wet while they were raiding my base, I guess I was better than I thought

Although I am going to upgrade my finewood bow, that thing is my god

[prime moth]

yeah bows make trolls p much a non issue

im too adjusted to using them for my bidding that my default is dodge rolling lol

[paper marsh]

When you load up it'll by default be on your most recently played character. You can click the arrows to the side at the bottom of the screen to switch to different characters

Then you click play (or start or whatever the button is) and it lets you select a world to load in on

There's nothing special to it, just select your character select a world. If you want a new world, there's a button "create new" instead of choosing an existing one

@drowsy shadow #screenshots message

Might be kinda useful? Wet effect is the 2nd best fire resist you can get, and hopping in the ocean is the best. Not bad for yag

[dull warren]

I'm finding myself much more drawn to melee combat, I should get more practice with the bow

[stable anvil]

i've grown to really like the fang and then carapace spear. hadnt been using pierce much before

i should try other weapons

with the level 3 carapace spear i only need to parry a lox once and then after a few hits they stun for more crits and its over

easy food

[dull warren]

lol I can't parry for shit because I need a new mouse, the right button is a bit janky

[balmy seal]

[dull warren]

Yeah I might need a new mouse to get much further

[fervent cypress]

question will the early axes be removed from the loot table at full release or just be only craftable by those who played the early access or will nothing change?

[dull warren]

hahaha a deer running from a skeleton

[balmy seal]

Unlikely. Why would they be removed?

[dull warren]

I actually had no idea this game is still in EA, it seems pretty feature complete from my limited playtime

[fervent cypress]

they removed the beta tester stuff

[chrome badge]

They did?

[tacit crystal]

I'm also interested what beta stuff they removed?

[fervent cypress]

odin hood and cape

[tacit crystal]

They were not removed, but gifted as DLCs for people who participated in Valheim alpha/beta.

[fervent cypress]

true so i guess my question is will the early axes become dlc

[tacit crystal]

If they're already in game then they probably won't remove them after Early Access.

Iron Gate doesn't have history of removing items from the game, other than replacing placeholder drops from bosses.

[chrome badge]

Nothing has retroactively become DLC, those beta gifts were handed out quite intentionally via steam code.

[frail shore]

hello guys

[dusty fable]

is this a gfame game?

free dlc or gotta buy it?

[merry pebble]

There are no DLCs that you can buy currently if you dont count soundtrack

[strange cradle]

Well, I finally managed to beat the Queen (again). This time on Easy mode. Took me about 20 minutes. Didn't even need Bonemass. I took two health potions and used up half of my 50 ooze bombs. All in all it was pretty solid. Skills were 30 in blocking and 51 in swords at the start of the fight.

I now think that on default difficulty the fight should be somewhat in between Easy and the current Normal difficulty. At least my confidence that I can beat the Queen has been somewhat restored.

The main difference was, that I had the feeling that I had everything under control, unlike my previous attempts where it'd turned quickly to "Oh, shit!"

[merry pebble]

To be fair, the "Oh shit!" moments are a significant part of Valheims charm in my honest opinion 🙂

[strange cradle]

They do. 😉

But when I fight bosses, I like to keep the "Oh, shit!" moments to a minimum. 😄

When I'm out and about? Bring'em on!

[merry pebble]

After the first time you fight the bosses the amount of these moments decreases quite a lot tho 😄 that is also part of the reason i am saving Fader fight for when DN comes

[strange cradle]

Well, I have fought successfully the Queen before on normal mode. That's why I was so pi**ed I couldn't do it again.

[eternal blade]

I must admit, I cheesed both Queen and Fader with magic

[strange cradle]

But the second fight, where I relied a lot on the previous Bonemass, went almost like my fight now on easy mode, but without Bonemass.

Using magic the way it is supposed to be used isn't cheesing.

[merry pebble]

Using a playstyle availible to you isnt cheesing imo, unless you are doing something with it for which it wanst intended

[balmy seal]

I've soloed everyone up to Yag, but no Queen yet.

[eternal blade]

magic is serious cheese on bosses. Queen can just be spammed with fireballs from a safe spot, and Fader was just tied down and worn out by staff of the wild

[strange cradle]

Exactly. I found magic to be much harder than just plain board and sword.

There is no "safe spot" in her arena.

[merry pebble]

It is OP and makes them much easier, no doubt about that. Still not cheesing tho in my book 🙂

[strange cradle]

It's not OP for me.

[eternal blade]

there is, at the entrance she can't really get you, and you can splash her with the fireball

[strange cradle]

Again, I find it to be much harder. And that spot isn't safe. You can be reached by seekers.

[eternal blade]

They get taken out by the fireballs too

[strange cradle]

And your shield WILL break down the exact moment you need it.

[merry pebble]

Oh, then that is cheesing, but all it takes to makeing not to be a cheese strategy is go outside of the enterance area 🙂

[eternal blade]

At worst case, it's few steps outside, recover, and back at it

[strange cradle]

Well, I guess it's the good ole reflexes game again. Mine are bad, so I have to rely on taking a hit every now and then.

Meaning I need lots of health and lots of armor.

[eternal blade]

That's why I stick with magic

[oak coral]

Is it normal for people to get mad after leaving a playthough after 30 mins?😭

[eternal blade]

it's not about reflexes, but just keeping distance

[strange cradle]

For which you need reflexes and good oversight.

[eternal blade]

situational awareness, yes, reflexes, no.

[strange cradle]

It's easy to get ambushed in her arena.

[eternal blade]

we're not talking about .25s dodge reactions, just running away when something comes close

[oak coral]

Basically the guy commented under my steam profile, and said I stole their recourse and left

[strange cradle]

Resource?

[oak coral]

This was pre eitker btw, I basically made a bed and 2 peices of deer armor

[oak coral]

Like deer hide ig?

[strange cradle]

That is a resource.

Well, it all depends. But things like these is one reason I don't play with strangers.

Misunderstandings can happen very easily.

[oak coral]

igg, he then proceeded to add me on two alts and another steam account

[strange cradle]

Maybe you need to talk to him?

Preferably before you air your dirty laundry here? 😄

[oak coral]

He has actual anger issues, kinda why I left in the first place😱

[strange cradle]

Well...

Another reason not to play with strangers.

[strange cradle]

Maybe I'm just getting bad at it. My situational awareness is usually pretty solid, but maybe I'm really just getting too old. 😉

[merry pebble]

Seems like it would be wise to stay away from this particular person 🙂

[strange cradle]

Yup.

[eternal blade]

decent headphones help. You can usually hear something creeping up on you

[oak coral]

Yupp, kinda what im doing now :D

[strange cradle]

I know. I do have good headphones and good speakers. Maybe I'm getting too slow. Oh well, I DID manage to kill her (even if it was on easy), so I'm somewhat relieved and happy.

[oak coral]

Just suprised, cuz most people on this server are rlly nice

[merry pebble]

Always some bad apples
Fortunately/hopefully not too many

[strange cradle]

Yup.

[steel mica]

Curious to know if anyone has been taking advantage of as the community calls it the "extended" combos in-game

Instead of the regular 3-combo

extended combo that swings faster and hits harder

[nocturne wolf]

I don't use them

[strange cradle]

I don't even know how to invoke them. 😄

[nocturne wolf]

I'm not sure exactly how it works but you need to hold block during an attack so you go into the block animation from your attack animation, and start attacking as soon as you notice the block animation. it can take some practice to get the timings right.

[steel mica]

Animation cancelling basically

[barren whale]

the inputs vary depending on weapon type

[spark plover]

I sometimes use them but can't rlly consistently pull it off in stressful battles

[steel mica]

The block combo is not worth practicing imo, leaves you vulnerable

I'd say practice something else like the "jump combo" or "extended primary power combo"

[steel mica]

Based on experience it only currently works on 1-handed with the exception of spears

Doesn't work on 2-handed sadly

[barren whale]

yea theres fancy shit that lets you do eg. 3 sword secondaries faster than a normal sword combo but that one got semi-patched

[steel mica]

I know its not an intentional thing but I like that the devs kept some because it does require some skill to pull off

[barren whale]

yeah its a nice mechanic that adds crunchiness to the combat
theres a couple really braindead ones tho

[hollow crag]

Yea, i do it with knives

Not really a combo it just attacks faster

[sage shadow]

guys, im in silver age now. i crafted a frostner, should i craft a silver sword too?

[steel mica]

Silver sword is recommended in mountains

Despite the triple dmg types of frostner

Enemeis are resistant to frost in mountains

[sage shadow]

i already collected my silver and made the gear

[tacit crystal]

Actually, 3 enemies are totally immune to frost.

[sage shadow]

i dont have much to do in mountains but the 3rd boss

[steel mica]

more reason to use sword over frostner in mountain

[tacit crystal]

Frostner is definitely useful inside frost caves tho.

And after mountains for long time.
