[dim python]

i am outright afraid of aggro-ing the lox at the cross of these swamps... 🫠

[silk token]

no i just get a good amount and dont max
out every weapon and armor lol. but the point is you’re using a weapon from the biome ahead, its supposed to be viable TWO biomes past swamp,
of course its gonna seem good

[dim python]

holy crap... abomination started blowing up a scrap iron deposit 🤩

[silk token]

but i dont like clubs because they have multi target penalty you do like half damage of you hit multiple things, i guarantee silver sword or crystal battleaxe can kill better and would also seem too strong in the swamp

[plucky hinge]

I don't like clubs because there are so many people there and they smell funny. >_>

[dim python]

are scrap iron deposits really small? this one looks fully mined and i only have 11 scrap iron

[abstract warren]

They can be very small, sometimes even empty, and can be huge

[eternal blade]

they're actually all the same size, but only piece of them might be accessible

[plucky hinge]

I was digging a moat around one of my bases and found remnants of a copper node that I'd thought I had completely cleaned out.

[frozen void]

11 is good from a scrap iron deposit no?

[plucky hinge]

I'm having a rough time with the terraforming aspects of this game. I keep trying to shape the earth so I have defensive berms, hill forts, and the like, but the ditches look rough and the berms look like jagged mountains.

[silk token]

you might be talking about kind of zig-zagy walls, in which case if you go along the cardinal directions those walls will be straight, straight east/west or north/south

[plucky hinge]

Ohh, who would have thought?? An actual cardinal spoke is the way to go.

[dim python]

4 stacks of iron!
boutta head back home! tally ho!

(it's a little surreal saying this as i travel through a portal straight back)

[plucky hinge]

Who you callin' a hoe?

[dim python]

my bronze pickaxe

[frozen void]

i think i accidentally put two summoned troll inside the tower in a charred fortress

[abstract warren]

I feel like this should be patched tbh. That we shouldn't hit the air and then actually hit to do a good sneak attack

But I'm probably expecting too much realism

[paper marsh]

I think there are things far higher on the list for balance and realism

But yea

[steel mica]

Honestly a great way to distract the fort enemies since they are aggro to the troll permanently

[frozen void]

yeah, but now there's a massive fire troll inside there lmao

im just bombarding the wall and slowly killing it i think

i guess leveling elemental magic

dead

[steel mica]

You're on a timer if the chest gets destroy, which it probably will

[frozen void]

i got everything looted

[steel mica]

Nice

[alpine tide]

On shared multiplayer servers, must you all defeat the bosses together?

[hazy cypress]

Are other Biomes as tedious as Swamps?

[frozen void]

No. 2nd and 3rd bosses do have drops that scale to number of players in the fight tho. But you can defeat bosses again. Youre probably going to want to anyway to make sure everyone has stuff furom most bosses

[prime moth]

my son unpaused the game and i died in base afk 😭

i dont think im gonna count that and restart the run though

what do y'all think, is it invalidating of a one life run?

[dim python]

you're a dad 😭

i'm so proud

[steel mica]

What happened 🤔

[jolly pagoda]

grounded! lmao

[prime moth]

i left my game running but paused- went upstairs and came back to a corpse lol

asked my son and he said he just wanted to see the base

[steel mica]

No reason to ground them, joe's son probably didnt know

[jolly pagoda]

tis a joke

[prime moth]

nah no grounding im stoked hes interested lol

[steel mica]

One day you'll be playing with your son

[prime moth]

yerp i told him it's coming to the switch and maybe i can host a server for us

[plucky hinge]

Just wanted to see the base.

[jolly pagoda]

it's nice to have someone in the family interested, I got my dad and sister to play a while ago

[plucky hinge]

And especially that lovely fire.

[prime moth]

unfortunately the base is garbage cause its a 1 life run

😭

[jolly pagoda]

oof

ive been working on my world's base

[steel mica]

1 life runs are peak efficiency to be fair, no pretty bases 🫠

Just everything for optimized

1 life runs here in valheim are pretty brutal compared to say minecraft

[hazy cypress]

Maybe for experienced players. Since I'm on my very first run, I definitely wouldn't try it. That being said, even only being in swamps, there are things I would do differently.

[prime moth]

id never recc 1 life for first run

games kinda designed around you dying and learning

alright well i am continuing

chances are i die to a dverger again anyway

dang night on the ocean is so pretty

[paper marsh]

idk about that

I've never been a big builder, but I still try to make things look presentable and cozy on my permadeath runs

[prime moth]

i never do since i could lose it all at an instant

[dull warren]

hrm I don't think I need to keep five wooden battleaxes around...

[hazy cypress]

Umm, my cauldron vanished and only left tin behind...

[prime moth]

cauldrons are built from tin

sounds like an enemy broke it

[hazy cypress]

1. I was looking at specs for the mead kettle instead of the Cauldron. (My Bad)
2. They have no access and there is no other damage.

[prime moth]

can i get an affirmation from anyone that this run is still fine post child intervention death?

[hazy cypress]

Just roll with it.

[paper marsh]

roll with it

[hazy cypress]

Circumstances outside of your control caused your death.

Well...MOSTLY outside of your control. 😈

[prime moth]

alright rolling 🫡

[hazy badger]

Always nice when 2 silver veins spawn on top of one another lol

[prime moth]

amazing feeling yeah

[steel mica]

Better if you get a 4 vein

[prime moth]

4 turtle post . png

[hazy badger]

only if

[south grove]

Do torch timers keep ticking down when out of render distance or only when you're nearby?

For fuel I mean.

[dull warren]

They keep ticking I'm pretty sure, I have an autofuel mod that I can hear refuelling torches when I return somewhere I haven't been in a while

[south grove]

Ah okay, so in that case the best way to light a path is probably one resin at a time rather than four.

And then four at a time for bases.

[dull warren]

I usually use campfires because you can still see the embers when they're not lit, it works well in the swamps

Yellow mushrooms also work well if you have the ||serving tray||

[south grove]

Ooh, that's clever, and wood is even easier to get. I am playing nomap so planning out my paths.

Can you use that new thing to uproot mushrooms and such?

[dull warren]

No, unfortunately the game wants you to forage for them

lol I get around that with a mod too because I think it's asinine to not be able to plant berries and mushrooms

[prime moth]

serving tray yellow shrooms is genius wow

I’ll have to do that

[south grove]

Oh so then how do you use yellow mushrooms for light if you cannot move them?

👀

[prime moth]

they glow dont they?

[dull warren]

Oh I meant that you can't uproot and replant them

[prime moth]

idk you get a shit ton in crpyts

[dull warren]

You can still place the ones you've already harvested on the ground though

[prime moth]

also they respawn

[dull warren]

The ||serving tray|| just lets you do that much more precisely

[dull warren]

yes

[south grove]

Oh, I know where they are from. Was just confused about using them as lighting.

[prime moth]

for sure for sure

[south grove]

Is it like an item frame or something?

[dull warren]

THey don't really light up a room, but they can light a path through the swamp quite well

[prime moth]

its an item that allows you yo permenently place them on a surface yeh

[south grove]

Ah, I didn't know that. Haven't come across the Witch yet (IIRC where it came from).

[dull warren]

It's used to make higher teir foods, but it can also place a few things exactly where you want them instead of tossing them all willy nilly

[prime moth]

great update

highly recc finding bog witch

[south grove]

Yeah, shopkeepers are a mission on nomap 🥲

[prime moth]

i feel that

i skip em unless they happen upon me

[south grove]

I'm gonna have to explore every island I find to ensure I don't miss them. As they only spawn in one place and don't move once spawned.

[dull warren]

I'm not doing no map but I got really lucky on this map, two of them were close enough that one of them showed up when I visited the other

[south grove]

Ayyy, that's awesome!

[dull warren]

Holy crap the iron slege makes quick work of draugr mobs

[dim python]

i wish i'd crafted mine sooner 😭

[dull warren]

Yeah, it probably woulda been useful during the Elder fight

[jolly pagoda]

Burial chambers and troll caves

[steel mica]

I've been listening to valheim's ost everytime im doing chores

And wondered why the Mistlands and Ashlands soundtracks are longer compared to previous biome ost 🤔

[split goblet]

Is there word on how deep north update is going to affect old worlds

[steel mica]

Generally unexplored portions of your world will be updated to the latest content which allows the new things from said latest update to generate there, so if you have an unexplored/untouched deep north, it will update and generate the new content

Not sure how it will effect very old worlds 🤔

[tacit crystal]

Should be compatible with very old worlds too.

[feral tendon]

Hello, new Viking, looking to make friends for long play sessions in the future.

[spark plover]

try #1024264966712340510

[feral tendon]

How would we feel about NPC Vikings?

Small villages ~10~ members or so that gather resources and build on their own.

[pulsar mortar]

Most don't like it

It's supposed to be almost purgatory for humans.

[feral tendon]

Ah- personally I love the idea why don't most like it?

Answering my own question I've found a mod that adds exactly this.

Guess I better check mods before posting questions lmfao

[spark plover]

Has been brought up already, if you wanna know maybe read this a bit #suggestion-discussion message

[feral tendon]

Damn alright- the entire convos been had already

So how does one get Itir early?

[spark plover]

you mean eitr?

[feral tendon]

Yos

I'm talking new character new world.
As fast as possible

[spark plover]

eitr food or refined eitr?

[frozen void]

You have to at least kill moder

[spark plover]

yeah to get sap extractors and blackmetal pickaxe you need the blast furnace

[frozen void]

Refinery too

[frozen void]

Also, most simple ideas have likely already had multiple convos about it lol

[feral tendon]

Been poking around. Kinda figured 😅

[frozen void]

The only npc thing that i think would make sense is temporarily hiring dvergrs for coins if you meet them in the world

[feral tendon]

Personally I'd like to have an invaders mechanic like in dark souls.

Either a phantom from another world or a copy of your own character that tried to beat the game and steal your glory or just tried to hunt you down.
It'd be fun imo

[rain flare]

That would be fun ❤️

[nocturne wolf]

It would need a lot of rebalancing to work well. All of the equipment in valheim is designed to kill enemies, not other players

[feral tendon]

Even more fun is if instead of becoming a hireling they'd drop an item for the right gold or get hostile if you dropped a small amount while carrying several hundred

[feral tendon]

Very true .. but it'd make for a fun mod

[south grove]

That sounds horrible, I just wanna build the most beautiful bases. :(

[feral tendon]

Valid-

Normally I just make a shack somewhere that dwarves can't easily reach and then make that my main base for the entire playthrough

[hollow gull]

well ash lands really is quite terrible....

[steel mica]

Getting a foot hold is your priority

[hollow gull]

yea past that

[steel mica]

Explore

[hazy cypress]

Mornin

[hazy cypress]

Anyone else notice that the point of impact is a bit to the left of the crosshairs?

I just found an Iron Gate inside a Muddy Scrap Pile, should I be scared?

[frozen void]

just random

[hazy cypress]

Oh thank the gods. Also, Do you ever sleep? I swear you're always on.

[frozen void]

woke up two hours ago or so

[hazy cypress]

Ok, fair.

[frozen void]

the iron gate doesnt even drop iron iirc

[hazy cypress]

Thankfully I wasn't trying to break it. I was only scared of what might be behind it. Turns out there's a Draugr Spawner back there. And, My pickaxe broke before I could get all the way through.

[merry pebble]

It has A LOT of durability. It would take you quite a long time to break and it doesnt drop anything 😄

[hazy cypress]

What about building a workbench and destroying it? (Just a thought)

[merry pebble]

You would need to build a Forge outside of the crypt. And even then Is the inside od the dungeon protected from building and breaking objects i believe.

[hazy cypress]

Time to sail home with 123 Iron.

And of course I'm gonna end up having headwinds all the way.

Just to confirm, Even if the fish are above the water we can't shoot them with a bow?

[tacit crystal]

No, they cannot really die.

[dim python]

immortal trout

[tacit crystal]

They are more like "living" items than living mobs in game.

[hazy cypress]

So I'd need a harpoon to drag them up, or use the fishing rod?

[tacit crystal]

Fishing rod and appropriate bait, harpoon doesn't work.

[hazy cypress]

Good to know.

[tacit crystal]

But sometimes they can end up on shore, especially after big waves.

[hazy cypress]

That's where I found my first fish.

Are the boar trophies really worth anything?

Y'all ever accidentally activate your power?

[tacit crystal]

On item stand or in obliterator.

[spark plover]

If you jump really quick you can cancel it

[hazy cypress]

So, coal or an actual Trophy. Got it.

[hazy cypress]

I'll keep that in mind.

Saw someone raise a bunch of ground around Bonemass in order to make a bit of an "Arena". Anyone think it is actually worth the time and effort?

[lunar sapphire]

Definitely

Did it myself last playthrough and it meant there was no distractions throughout. If you make the arena somewhat small around the altar itself it'll also limit the amount of adds Bonemass summons

[hazy cypress]

I'm guessing I should also ensure that any and all spawners in the vicinity are nonexistent?

[lunar sapphire]

If it makes it easier sure 😄

wouldn't want constant spawns shooting at you whilst raising the ground

[hazy cypress]

I'm not quite there yet, and that's gonna take a lot of stone. However, after this last trip of Iron, I may start considering taking him/it on.

[grand thorn]

what it do

[hazy cypress]

Howdy

[near furnace]

the longer you play, the more sence it doesn't make to have vikings randomly living in a death world filled with monsters

[silk token]

i cant remember in any playthrough anything joining the bonemass fight during bonemass. just walk the perimeter for any spooky trees and take out anything nearby, dont run far from the fight stay around the summoner kite him in circles if you must hes incredibly slow

[hazy cypress]

Have all the bits to make a long ship. Tell me it has way better storage than the Karve...Please...

[dim python]

much better 🙂‍↕️

[hazy cypress]

Yay

But also, some wee critters decided to destroy my Karve! Luckily all the bits were there.

I'd like to get my boat closer to where I'm currently farming Crypts, I'm just worried about enemies agroing on it.

[dim python]

they won't attack it while you're in a crypt. just have a bench ready and check on it every once in a while

[dim python]

i don't have this problem anymore and tbh i don't know what i'm doing differently besides having my karve far enough away from shore that draugr axemen can't attack it

if there's a nearby meadow or black forest leeches are less likely to be a problem

[silk token]

thats what youre doing different i was about to tell them to do that

[hazy cypress]

Your swimming skill and stam reserves muct be WAY higher than mine. LOL

[dim python]

with turnip stew or onion soup you should really be 100% gucci

[hazy cypress]

Unfortunately, not so much.

[silk token]

lol not like in the ocean just a couple seconds swimming, dont beach it like a whale

make a tiny dock going out to it if you dont want to worry about swimming your cart out to the boat, just bring a stack of wood in your boat next time you go to the swamp

[dim python]

last time i went out into the swamp in a karve the items in the 4 slots were a stack of wood and all the necessary ingredients for a portal

nice mental inventory in there. wish i could swap the stack of wood for a crypt key but it's a better idea to carry that in your inv since it's much lighter

[hazy cypress]

Not much concerned about a portal, The nearest one is close enough. Yet, far enough to make the journey a bit annoying.

[dim python]

keep it in mind for later, you're gonna need more iron and the nearest ironladen crypts are gonna be further away

even if the journey isn't that long it's good to be rested and able to sleep and able to transfer non-iron items

[lunar sapphire]

[dim python]

i don't get it

are my experiences a little random?

[lunar sapphire]

cryps either having lots of iron or none - rng

[hazy cypress]

#screenshots message

[dim python]

oh um.
apropos of nothing

i crafted my first 3 reinforced chests

such a relief 😤

[regal cave]

Yes but be careful sailing now night time and fog can beach you in places you dont want

[dim python]

beaching isn't too bad, just have at least ten wood and you might do it on purpose for an emergency repair

but also bring good food and weapons so you can attack things that come out of the woods 🪵

[hazy cypress]

Generally, I don't go sailing at night into "Combat areas" (Aside from the Ocean). Mostly it is just a mode of travel to transport Ores and to find other islands.

[dim python]

i'm not sure what you're saying here, when what i'm saying is "be prepared to fight things when you go ashore at night or during rain"

if you're saying "i don't do that" my retort is "if it's black forest it's better than being out at night or in the rain'

[plucky hinge]

Is there a way to move crafted items, or is it always just Destroy and Rebuild?

[hazy cypress]

Typically, I don't do anything at night.

[dim python]

you lucked out with that swamp btw

very nice swamp

[plucky hinge]

Good swamp. pet pet

[hazy cypress]

If I'm sailing at night, I'm either exploring (Far enough from shore as to not agro things), or on my way to a specific "Safe" destination.

[tulip shoal]

Just made it to the Mistlands. Found Jotum Puffs and saw they can be farmed. Planted them in my Meadows base and it said "Healthy" so I assumed it was fine to grow them here. I proceed to plant the rest and then it says cant grow in this environement. Ugh. Wish this game gave more hints

[lunar sapphire]

No sorry, but as a compromise you can move carts, boats and other later game machines/placed craftables similar to carts/boats

[plucky hinge]

I wanted to move my chests. -_-

[lunar sapphire]

Good luck have fun ✨

[hazy cypress]

Agreed! And there are WAY more crypts that I haven't marked yet.

[plucky hinge]

I was thinking about making a storeroom for the chests with shelves and such, but nooo.

[hazy cypress]

You could make a "Warehouse" with different floors...

[dusk arrow]

Hi

[regal cave]

Lol

[lunar sapphire]

omg it's rocky

[dusk arrow]

I love the new Rocks

[plucky hinge]

Not a bad idea. I've been doing a floor-shelf setup with half height walls to anchor on.

[dusk arrow]

Do you have a seed that is good for new players?

[hazy cypress]

#1202740443352137838

[plucky hinge]

Carrot seed.

[dusk arrow]

thanks

[plucky hinge]

😼

[frozen void]

i have a storeroom with 6 chests stacked high for each items, section off by biomes

[plucky hinge]

Sounds like my kind of organisation. I had similar setup in Nightingale for my crafting stations.

[lunar sapphire]

It's giving... Scrat the Squirrel from Ice Age

[plucky hinge]

Can you still get into each chest if you stack them directly on each other?

[frozen void]

i have a walkway half way up

most things arent stacked high enough for that overflow though

[hazy cypress]

Can you mount the Iron Cooking Station on the Hearth?

[merry pebble]

Yep 😄

[frozen void]

lengthway

[hazy cypress]

Must not be able to mount anything else on it then (At the same time)

[merry pebble]

You can do it both ways 🙂 the other way its just more finicky

[merry pebble]

Oh you can

Just dont put it right in the middle

[frozen void]

you've seen my storage, no?

[hazy cypress]

Hmm...I see.

Is there anything that the Regular cooking grill can make that the Iron one cannot?

[frozen void]

you can mount two of them

[regal cave]

No its just easier to cook 20 deer on a bunch of regulars. U can fit a mead kettle and cauldron and iron station on the hearth and use them all

[dim python]

if you want a moveable chest make a cart or boat

[hazy cypress]

I've got the kettle and the cauldron in separate stations. I was thinking of putting the Iron inside the main house.

#screenshots message

[dim python]

@hazy cypress #screenshots message courtesy of Sarin

[regal cave]

O u can fit 2 plus the 2 ooo

[hazy cypress]

That's a bit cramped for my style.

[dim python]

@regal cave do 2 of your 19 comfort points come from having a lot of open space or is that a newb's myth?

[regal cave]

As far as I know open space does not give you comfort

[dim python]

do 2 of them come from holiday items?

heck

[tacit crystal]

Yule tree and maypole.

Maypole becomes buildable in next month.

[dim python]

so 2 more from holiday items... another 2 from the hot tub... not sure where the next 2 of 6 from my 13 come from

guess i'll find out #u#

[hazy cypress]

Hot Tub?!?!?!?

[spice bear]

Maybe you haven’t built throne?

[frozen void]

plains thing

[dim python]

i've definitely built a throne 🙂‍↕️

that's part of the 13

[frozen void]

which bed?

[foggy glacier]

Probably you’re using a regular table and chair instead of a throne and darkwood table

[tacit crystal]

Dragon bed?

[hazy cypress]

So far I'm happy with 10 Comfort.

[lunar sapphire]

I have nay

[dim python]

yes

according to the sheet i'm at the highest i can be without holiday items

[tacit crystal]

At 17? Or which biome are you currently in?

[dim python]

no at 13
i'm at mountains

[tacit crystal]

Okay, then you are in mountain highest.

[dim python]

sounds like the table gets an upgrade of... 1 more point?

with tar

[frozen void]

finally bothered to get the last one

[frozen void]

you havent actually visited my world? you really should

[steel mica]

rag armor has a black helmet?

[hazy cypress]

Make that comfort 11. Apparently the Hearth I installed in the main house added one.

[tacit crystal]

Better table and hot tub will raise it to 16.

[steel mica]

Why does it look like it has a helmet

[frozen void]

odin set

[dim python]

wondering how to reach 17

without yule and maypole

[tacit crystal]

New item in Ashlands.

[frozen void]

you cant reach it before ashlands without seasonals

[steel mica]

Ah dlc for early users

[hazy cypress]

Speaking of, I still haven't seen the old man. Then again I don't often go out at night.

[dim python]

holy cannoli

[steel mica]

does it offer cold resist?

[frozen void]

yeah, it requires scrap to make, so it fits with scrap set

[frozen void]

nope

[steel mica]

Ah sad kinda useful for early game

no cold debuff

[frozen void]

it just looks cool

no gameplay benefit other than getting scrap cloak/head

[steel mica]

I want one... if my name isn't already a obvious hint on why

[frozen void]

joel are you muted? xD

[steel mica]

I like black and white

[tacit crystal]

No?

[frozen void]

just reaction instead of writing, thought it was funny

[merry pebble]

Sadly unless you have time machine to go participate in the beta we cant get it 🙂

[tacit crystal]

I'm just little lazy now, typing on mobile.

[steel mica]

Feather cape will do just fine, plus benefit of gliding and looks cool

I just wish it had the same DRIP as the ashen cape

with the whole collar thing around the vikings neck

[frozen void]

gotchu

[merry pebble]

The ashen cape could really do with a bit of a redesign of its "turtle neck"

[tacit crystal]

Especially with hoods.

Would be nice if there were 2 styles: one with collar and other without.

[steel mica]

Im fine with the current design but more customizability is great

Just what joel said

I really wish the linen cape had a bit more detail

And maybe cold resist

because if it had these two, I'd ditch the lox and wolf cape for the black linen cape

[tacit crystal]

Fenris chest and black linen cape?

[steel mica]

YES PLEASE

[steel mica]

DO NOT TEASE ME 😭

[lunar sapphire]

[steel mica]

Ahh if only I had it

I'd be rockin it till mountains

[lunar sapphire]

It pretty much does "fall off" around that biome

[hazy cypress]

Son of a...I forgot to grab arrows!!!

[frozen void]

it doesnt fall off until mistlands

feather cape too good

[lunar sapphire]

That's subjecthive

[frozen void]

im not a mirror

[lunar sapphire]

[steel mica]

Both wolf and lox > odin cape but you wont be lasting forever in cold so probably till mistlands

I still take frost meads on me during mountain runs

[hazy cypress]

Handling on the long ship is very different.

[lunar sapphire]

You're now driving a water bus

[frozen void]

for anyone interested in my storage #building-screenshots message

[steel mica]

ME

[hazy cypress]

Actually, it feels way more responsive than the Karve. Maybe it's just me.

[lunar sapphire]

Nope, too much storage.

[frozen void]

no such thing

[steel mica]

Ohh I'm a big organizer when it comes to survival games

Almost like a "mom" role

[plucky hinge]

Holy !

[steel mica]

keeping the base tidy

[lunar sapphire]

also a "you're coming home with me" mentality

[steel mica]

I like the second deck give off like a library vibe, like those big libraries

[frozen void]

yeah

[steel mica]

My only complaint is NOT REINFORCED CHEST 😭

[dim python]

y no reinforced chests

[hazy cypress]

I wouldn't say "Too Much Storage". Just looks like A LOT of WORK. To be honest though, it's kinda what I'd like my Library to look like if I ever hit the Lottery.

[steel mica]

But other than that its very clean

[frozen void]

there's a few, for grausten and black marble, but im mostly comitting to the bit

[plucky hinge]

What I gather from that is that the portals can be placed against a wall. That's good to know.

[frozen void]

reinforced chests are pointless for most items

since im not doing multiple different items in one chest

[hazy cypress]

Wait, what is the purpose of reinforced chests? I thought it was just a PvP thing...

[frozen void]

no

[steel mica]

You gotta appreciate the mom players when it comes to survival games, making sure everyone is well prepped and equipped

[frozen void]

24 slots per chest

youre thinking of personal chests

[lunar sapphire]

obviously gotta have black metal chests

[hazy cypress]

Umm...I didn't know there were "Personal Chests"...

[lunar sapphire]

unless they're reinforced

[steel mica]

I tend to just do 1 chest per item, but some resources like say iron I sometimes seperate for more expansion or double the chest

[hazy cypress]

Will some items not hold inside a regular chest?

Or attract mobs?

[frozen void]

i have 30k wood and 20k stone in regular chests and i still have room for twice or three times as much

[frozen void]

no

[steel mica]

Honestly my favorite organization is STILL undoubtedly my kitchen in my main world

[lunar sapphire]

Grounded player?

[hazy cypress]

No

[frozen void]

i think theyre jsut stuck on the reinforced part of the name

[hazy cypress]

Just curious because people are saying things that make it seem that way.

[frozen void]

its not that deep

its just a bigger chest

[lunar sapphire]

Second one is my current run world with its small kitchen

[lunar sapphire]

What in the unemployed free time!

[dim python]

[frozen void]

my kitchen storage

[dim python]

what the heck is up with that back wall

[steel mica]

I went overkill with the fermenters and stone ovens lmao

[lunar sapphire]

What you made is a brewery

[steel mica]

theres 5 fermenters and 4 stone ovens

[frozen void]

ready for deep north too

[dim python]

5 fermenters is just enough

reasonable to brew 5 simultaneous potions

[steel mica]

For the stack craft yes

[frozen void]

i went for a knitted sort of look

[steel mica]

In terms of largest "building" my main world is definitely the biggest

[steel mica]

I like this

[frozen void]

oh?

[dim python]

i'm not sure how i feel

[steel mica]

Like I said im a BIG organizer

[lunar sapphire]

[steel mica]

Im not THAT unemployed

[dim python]

cries nEET-ly

[steel mica]

I have a ton of building ideas but I wanna wait till deeo north to maximize the usage of all the materials

[lunar sapphire]

well ofc you aren't. Being that organised is a job in itself

[steel mica]

especially deep north materials

[frozen void]

the big thing in the building has my storage on the second floor, my main hall and kitchen on the third floor and bedroom on the fourth

[lunar sapphire]

not to alarm you but you have a wooden tornado near your base

[hazy cypress]

I think everyone except Tirien is way ahead of me. LOL

[steel mica]

It definitely is but oh man does it make yourself in the future easier

[steel mica]

Omg I was gonna say is that like a wall surrounding your base

[frozen void]

no that's a bridge between two islands

and the two parts of my settlement

[steel mica]

Ah

Honestly the biggest hindrance in terms of building in biomes is a tie between mistlands and ashlands

[frozen void]

most people have called it an ice cream cone

[lunar sapphire]

I'm not most people 😢

[plucky hinge]

Wow! I love seeing what people have done with base building.

Just beat Moder

She got stuck, a lot

yeah she can be buggy

better arrows for drakes than fire?

[dull warren]

But the cool bonus was, the fight was on top of a silver vein

#screenshots message

[prime moth]

yayyy moder found

terraform time

I think I lost my boat finding her though… this is one of the biggest mountains I’ve ever run through. took like 4 in game days of exploring

[frozen void]

i two shot them with wood arrows

or sneak one shot them

[dim python]

tier 4 huntsman?

[frozen void]

draugr i think

[dim python]

isnt that not that much better?

[steel mica]

I cant remember correctly but I believe it was poison arrow, a shot from a maxed out huntsman can just BARELY one shot a drake

Unless you get lucky with damage calculation

It'll just barely survive a sneak dmg with maxed huntsman with poison

[dim python]

draugr fang is that much better...?

[steel mica]

Its more consistent with draugr fang but I opt to run huntsman till mistlands because huntsman offers the lower detection range

So its either
use draugr fang for more dmg
or
huntsman for utility

huntsman is especially useful in plains

[prime moth]

i like fang

[steel mica]

because alot of the creatures there tend to group up

[prime moth]

fang + frost arrows kinda neuters the fugling villages

specifically the brutes

huntsman would too though

[frozen void]

huntsman vs draugr

[steel mica]

I prefer running poison just to make sure that ONE FULING SHAMAN GOES FLATLINE

[prime moth]

i usually snipe the mages then frost arrow the big guys and atgir whatever is left

[steel mica]

Im a sword guy so aoe is out for me

till ashlands

of which I start using heavy magic build

[dim python]

does draugr fang poison stack with poison arrows 🤔

[frozen void]

no

[tacit crystal]

It does.

[frozen void]

or is it any other poisons dont stack?

[tacit crystal]

Poison damage from poison arrows and Draugr Fang are added to each other.

[dim python]

iyo should i stack poison damage versus drakes with draugr fang or should i use another debuff

[tacit crystal]

Sadly poison damage is not as great since it won't stack the damage similarly as fire/spirit damage.

Poison will reapply the timer but won't add more damage to it.

[frozen void]

which was so whack when i played a different game where poison stacked and burning didnt

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, it makes ||Jotun Bane|| also worse weapon option because of the large amount of poison damage.

[prime moth]

man if i was playing creative this would be the sickest build spot

three mountain peaks surrounding a little valley

[tacit crystal]

Why not build there anyway?

[prime moth]

hey if i make it past fader i will

~when~ i make it past fader 😎

[frozen void]

thats the spirit(but he's immune to that apparently)

this is the best view i can get of it

[tacit crystal]

Ah, deathless challenge.

You delete world and character upon death?

[prime moth]

right next to a plains and mistland

yes i do

[tacit crystal]

Ah.

I could never delete.

Although I have had several successful deathless runs I would have never deleted them even if I died because I love building also.

I would have just considered them not successful.

[frozen void]

i have a really cool mistlands spot, a huge bridge that is quite reachable and leads to a bunch of tall rock spires

[prime moth]

i have fun building but i keep those builds in my mind and appreciate them there

i'll probably go mega build mode once i finish my deathless attempts

i havent built anything bigger than like a standard end game base yet

[frozen void]

Ah, potential build, always could, but never is

[silk token]

as a permadeath enjoyer, i still take time to enjoy the game, otherwise its just lazy speedruns, if you wanna make a neat little base you should

[chrome badge]

This is a topic for #suggestion-discussion

[prime moth]

this was my base on the deathless run with a map

it was pretty fun, yaggy spawner is a great structural starting point

which arrows are best for moder, y'all think?

[paper marsh]

Needle or obsidian id say

[dim python]

not poison?

[tacit crystal]

Obsidian at mountain tier.

Poison sadly suffers from not stacking by multiple shots.

[neat tapir]

no arrows. mele only

[pliant hatch]

Fire arrows have their effect stacking, but their overall damage is less as that of Obsidian arrows.

There are a good alternative, however.

[prime moth]

alright i'm going for it 🫡

[hazy cypress]

Found a Wooden Sledge...

Ok, gonna take that as a good thing.

[tacit crystal]

Aka the Boop hammer.

[hazy cypress]

I'm guessing I'm gonna need it for something.

[silk token]

theres lots of wooden weapons to collect or for practice fighting.

[tacit crystal]

It's more like collectible item.

[dim python]

can wooden sledge be used for prospecting instead of stagbreaker?

[tacit crystal]

Haven't really tested.

Might be able bit later.

[prime moth]

man i hate forgetting where i parked the boat

[silk token]

gurrrrrrrrl just beat bonemass!

[pliant hatch]

Didn't mark it on the map?

Or playing in "no map"?

Why does crafting a hammer require stone but the hammer looks totally wooden

[plucky hinge]

How do people get such beautifully flat building spaces? I am trying Level Ground and it's still pretty lumpy, even though I built it up myself with raise ground.

[neat tapir]

carefully?

[frozen void]

flatten ground, raise ground, pickaxe, flatten, raise, pickaxe, flatten, etc

[velvet hound]

When Hugin drops in, be sure to read what he says.. 😂

Was that...a reply to a post from 2024?

[dim python]

i was gonna skip bonemass to avoid the many permanent raids 😅

[abstract warren]

Lol wtf

Bro is out here digging graves

[silk token]

oh i see. i dont mind those raids though they're like uber eats, free wolf and bat products

[dim python]

admittedly free wolf products sounds pretty baller

i would've been excited for that had it not been for other stuff like ghosts

[silk token]

for someone like me who likes spears, getting lots of fangs is great

[frozen void]

Just... catching up?

[silk token]

wait you dont want ghost raids???????? chain delivery service???

[prime moth]

i was lucky to not have been hunted yet

hopefully i can get a blackmetal atgir soon 🙏

[dim python]

i should probably kill bonemass i guess it'll be fun anyway

[silk token]

hunted is like my favorite raid its so fun

[neat tapir]

you ever get hunted while in the ocean? that was fun

[frozen void]

Did anything spawn?

[neat tapir]

yeah i thought it was funny till they almost broke my boat so I just left

[prime moth]

i would actually really like to be hunted rn for food purposes

I'm kinda in the same boat, though...I have to say, I haven't had "The Earth is Shaking" or "You smell the swamps" in a while.

Is there really any point in having them besides the resources they provide once you reach the plains and mistlands? I've tried bringing them back several times, but even the slightest enemy, even in the swamps, hurts them too much.

Thx

[analog hearth]

hey, sorry for necromancing a post
May I ask how much your game improves after you set these up? What did you set for the in-game graphic options, and the configs of VPO mod?

My laptop is pretty potato but I am figuring things out I suppose

[prime moth]

do oak trees grow in plains if i plant them there?

[frozen void]

meadows, black forest and plains yes

[prime moth]

damn i bet that would look super cool as part of a base

[plucky hinge]

Oh my gosh. I just looked through some of the building channels. I am struggling with a good flat protected base, and here are people with their walk-out basements and such.

[prime moth]

i feel that

[frozen void]

lots of meat

[earnest dust]

Valhiem mods have such potential but some of them just choose to make things not look vanilla and it hurts me in my soul

[chrome badge]

Newsflash, every single mod doesn't look vanilla

[frozen void]

the only way they'd look like vanilla was if they just used vanilla models, like letting you build or plant everything

[chrome badge]

That's one of the easiest ways to tell if someone is modding though 🥹

[violet inlet]

you can find great mods that look pretty vanilla in the sense of graphics textures etc.

[frozen void]

"hd mod" look inside sharpen tool

[chrome badge]

Looking vanilla means no mods, I think you mean visually similar art style.

[tacit crystal]

I see many armor mods with reused assets but different colors.

[dull warren]

welp, I think my next attack on a fuling village will be a bit more... strategic

[tacit crystal]

What equipment you've got?

[dull warren]

Most of the top level mountains gear, just defeated Moder

[tacit crystal]

Mhm, like what weapons you have?

If you have Frostner it will be great for crowd control.

[oak river]

I've never used content mods cuz a lot of mods that add content make the gear way to high poly/resolution

Looks so bad with the rest of the game

[chrome badge]

Good on you, I am not a fan either.

[sleek sky]

Not necessarily true. Could use the mod that adds vanilla console command stuff to the build menu

Like bog witch iron pit, stone chests, etc

[analog hearth]

I am too used to my potato laptop that I was surprised to see that game assets look pixelated in screenshots from my friends, who play at maximum graphic settings

I guess that is a part of the game's charms by now? And I guess that explains why the game is like 1.5GB in size for me. That being said, the lighting and environment look gorgeous

[chrome badge]

Again, this is one of the easier ways to tell if someone is modding.

These objects being utilized isn't vanilla.

[sleek sky]

Ok so you think that items that can be placed eith console commands in vanilla means they are modding?

[nocturne wolf]

even with console commands you can't set a custom rotation which is often done with these mods

[chrome badge]

That's not what I said at all.

[merry pebble]

If actually aranged in certain way, yes

[abstract warren]

Wtf did my windmill just kill a deathsquito

Lmao

[sleek sky]

Probably

[merry pebble]

Yep 😄 they do certain amount of dmg with their blades

[abstract warren]

That's awesome lol

It's those small things that truly make this game great

[sleek sky]

So to protect your base vs flying enemies, just make a perimeter of windmills

[abstract warren]

Plains ❌
Netherlands ✅

[sleek sky]

Wooden armor in plains when?

[merry pebble]

Do we need a third set in plains? 😄 Even more so when we already have "wood" armour in swamps

[tacit crystal]

Black forest and Ashlands have 3 sets.

[merry pebble]

-# I know but is there a need for plains to be the same?

[tacit crystal]

-# Some base light armor, maybe made of lox pelts, to fit with lox cape. Could provide less armor than vilebone armor pieces and have some other nice bonus.

Or what about mistlands tier light armor?

[abstract warren]

Why (and how) are you guys suddenly typing in this smaller grey text lol

[merry pebble]

Why?
-# I honestly just feel like it would fit better sometimes
How?
"-#" at the beginning of the line you want smaller 🙂

[tacit crystal]

Don't try +# tho.

[merry pebble]

Oh, thats the one that makes it bigger right?

[tacit crystal]

Fail.

[near furnace]

-# like dis

it is the magical -#

[tacit crystal]

Yeah the bigger text doesn't go through for regular users.

[near furnace]

mhm

yup yup

[nocturne wolf]

plains doesn’t need any more armor until linen cape does something

[sleek sky]

Cape revamp when?

[mild mason]

Linen Cape does do something. It gives a large percentage of AURA

[sleek sky]

I wish capes in this game were interesting, what we get is all capes either have nothing or cold resist till mistlands which is boring

Then we get to ashlands and we get 3 unique cool capes and its like bruh

[tough cedar]

Hey everyone! Is this chat for everyone? I'm just from Russia, maybe there's a chat for everyone with different speech patterns.

[nocturne wolf]

troll cape is part of a set bonus and the armor on the deer cape is better than nothing

[mild mason]

This is an only-English discord
Rule "6) Please stick to English as this is an international server."

[tough cedar]

Got it. Okay.

[nocturne wolf]

linen cape needs something new, lox cape could get something too because it’s the same as wolf but it doesn’t need a trophy so it’s a good alternative if players didn’t find a wolf trophy after progressing through mountains

[sleek sky]

Lox and linen need something. Id prefer troll had something as well other than set, but thats a wish. Also, no swamps cape at all?

Imagine a poison resist swamp cape made of blob trophy and guck and wothered bones

But alas, we are not so lucky

[mild mason]

The swamp helmet has poison resistance.

[tough cedar]

I just made a video, and the music has Russian lyrics. My question is: can I publish it here? In Media?

[sleek sky]

So?

[abstract warren]

Yay I just found a 2star and a 1star wolf but I didn't prepare the trap please any tips on how to quickly lock them in??

[mild mason]

Why add it to 'a' cape, it would be redundant.

[nocturne wolf]

wolf and fenris chestpiece have frost resistance

[radiant cloak]

VPO will just override any setting it offers despite what’s in the in-game graphics settings. And it helped a ton, like 25 FPS to 45 FPS at my base (which is within rendering distance of 2 friends’ bases)

So basically shadows, render distance, lighting, grass etc is all controlled with VPO. Same with backend stuff like structure durability and dropped objects etc

[sleek sky]

Doesnt a peice of wolf armor give cold resist?

[tacit crystal]

Chest piece.

[sleek sky]

So if redudant is a problem, wouldnt wolf be a problem?

[mild mason]

doesnt a piece of swamp armor give poison resistance?

[sleek sky]

Thought so

[tacit crystal]

Isn't linen considered as part of padded armor set? At least in wiki.

Most use lox anyway because of cold resistance.

[nocturne wolf]

the wiki also puts feather and deer cape into armor set pages even though there’s no set bonus

[radiant cloak]

My PC is a 2023/2024 “NASA PC” and I just can’t get Valheim to run well for some reason though. I think it’s my specific CPU or GPU model or the drivers and there’s just not enough discussion about it online for devs to figure it out idk. It’s unusual tho

[sleek sky]

Win11?

[radiant cloak]

Yeah

[sleek sky]

Have you tried using fixwindows11 external program?

It brings back the win10 troubleshooters that actually work

Can update your drivers with it

Godsend for my pc that doesnt do it automatically

[radiant cloak]

My CPU/GPU utilization stays super low and my FPS is ass…. I’ve tried FSO and windowed game mode optimizations, wiped and reinstalled windows etc I think it’s on the side of the game and how it interacts with my hardware

I’ve tried everything lol I’m pretty tech savvy, I would say 4/5 level

I could go on and on. I’ve just learned to live with it and use the solutions i sent earlier and it’s at least playable (over 40+ fps)

[analog hearth]

I can't change VPO's numbers in game though, right?
Do you remember the numbers you set to for those stats?

what is FSO

[radiant cloak]

Yes you can there’s a button top right main menu. Opens a GUI

[mild mason]

I'm saying it would be redundant to "add" poison resistance to a swamp cape, since the helmet already has it...
As for the wolf armor, the cold resistance is relevant because you'd freeze in the entirety of the mountain biome without it, and be "cold" in every biome at night.
poison resistance has no such application.
I do admit that the chest-piece having cold resistance is redundant as it is.

[radiant cloak]

full screen optimizations it’s a exe property

[abstract warren]

Damn it they despawned as soon as morning came. I came to the mountain in the night and was looking for this exactly and they literally appeared as soon as I got there. Gotta prepare the trap next time...

[analog hearth]

you aren't seeing another again 💔

[radiant cloak]

It’s really more of a troubleshooting thing it’s not a guaranteed performance booster or anything just some games don’t like it with GSYNC / certain vsync settings etc etc

[mild mason]

RIP. Gotta start that taming process somehow... Even after I built a hole for my 2-star, I didn't start the taming process, and it despawned too 🙁

[analog hearth]

oh I mean like, after I load or join a server
maybe I can still do that in esc menu or something, I gotta recheck

[radiant cloak]

for example for battlefield 6 to run in true exclusive fullscreen you gotta disable fullscreen optimizations and windowed game mode optimizations

[radiant cloak]

I don’t think so

[analog hearth]

alright

[sleek sky]

I sent you a dm

[abstract warren]

Now I'm being hunted. And that makes me think, why when that happens all the wolves are 0star...?

[sleek sky]

F you

Thats why

[abstract warren]

Could be a nice way to get at least a bit of a higher chance to find 1-2star wolves

[abstract warren]

Lol

[frozen void]

you wouldnt be able to tame them anyway

[sleek sky]

It also has the problem of it would make that event even more dangerous and its already crazy right after bonemass

[abstract warren]

Why not

[abstract warren]

Me it's easy to deal with them with good armour & atgeir

[sleek sky]

Its funny when it happens in a fuling village tho

[frozen void]

they wont calm down before despawning

[foggy glacier]

For you, sure. for a first time player just defeated bonemass it's unbalanced.

[abstract warren]

Right...

[abstract warren]

Ok I didn't remember if they despawn as soon as it ends

Bleh

[prime moth]

i stirred the cauldron 😭

[frozen void]

the most fun in ashlands is when you're fighting a valkyrie and a morgen and askvsin join in, cause you can just let them kill each other and any charred

[plucky hinge]

So happy I can hunt trolls now.

[tacit crystal]

Better gear to hunt them?

[plucky hinge]

Better weapon and strategy.

[tacit crystal]

Oo, what you've got?

Finewood bow and fire arrows?

[plucky hinge]

Yup!

Fully upgraded bow, too, if that makes any difference.

[tacit crystal]

Aim at the head, it's their weak spot.

[mild mason]

[plucky hinge]

I try headshots whenever I can. Aim's kind of bad and center mass is always a safe hit, but I do what I can.

...and now, even though it's not even about trolls, I have to fire up Trøllabundin and jam.

[tacit crystal]

Once you have ||bronze buckler|| or ||bronze atgeir|| you can even melee fight them easier.

We all have been there, when trolls were new threat to deal with. Those were fun times.

[plucky hinge]

I'll figure out bears next, I hope. The old standby of "If it's brown, lie down" doesn't seem to work. 😅

[tacit crystal]

Have you killed bears yet?

Bears have smaller aggro range so they are not as eager to run towards their enemies, making them easier to avoid.

[plucky hinge]

I haven't killed them, but they've killed me a few times.

"Oops. That's not a rock!"

[tacit crystal]

You will soon enough. ✊

that's the plan, i hadnt anticipated the vastness of the sea

[hazy cypress]

I've only found 1 big "Chunk" of Ocean so far.

I'm debating If I want to sail home or run through the swamp to get back to my currently active portal.

I only have 1 portal at home so far.

[dim python]

depends on whether you'd rather face a wraith or a serpent

[prime moth]

i get to make the plains upgrades finally

farmin'

they ain't jokin when they say frostner is great for fulings

[dull warren]

Me too, just got there, that first fuling village was tough

Perhaps I should try the frostner

[prime moth]

my first village was hilarious

lured the brutes to nearby golems

sniped the mages and had a wolf hunt down the rest

now i gotta go find more iron though smh

i forgot how much iron you need for all the plains stuff

[hazy cypress]

Not really worried about either.

It's more along the lines of. I have a portal and Fire near Bonemass, along with my ship. No building. No storage (Other than the ship). Just a Workbench, a portal, a ship, and a fire with a lean-to over it. I could also just sail south to where the currently active portal is, but then the new portal will have absolutely no storage.

I suppose I'm gonna have to just do a bunch of terraforming, build a small base inside the Swamp and...I don't know.

I guess I'm just going to study the map a bit and see if there's anywhere not 10 miles away that I can build up for quick raids or something.

[plucky hinge]

I am still working on terraforming my hill fort next to my pier.

Still very young in Valheim. I'm a miner. 😉

My pickaxe keeps breaking, though.

[hazy cypress]

Bronze or Antler?

[plucky hinge]

Yes.

[hazy cypress]

How many total?

[plucky hinge]

Hm, I had been using antler and switched to bronze (one of each). That's a good idea, though. I can carry both.

[hazy cypress]

If you're just terraforming around your base, you can also go knock out Eikthyr a couple more times and make a couple more antler ones. If you're hungry or tired you can always go back inside and rest/eat.

[plucky hinge]

Oh, I didn't know you could kill Eikthyr multiple times!

Also...Weird camera angle. haha
#screenshots message

[hazy cypress]

Kill him as many times as you want.

[prime moth]

i always just keep the 3 he drops till i get iron pick lol

probably overkill

[prime moth]

the thing that hurts the most is i passed by like 3 swamps on my way to where i am

i shoulda just grabbed all the iron i saw there when i was searching for moder lol

at least i got the atgir now.... lox are going to be scarce 👿

[dull warren]

ooh, I haven't tried taking them on with that yet, I'm relying on parrying still, which doesn't work so well with multiple assailants

[tawdry notch]

any news on ps5 release?

[chrome badge]

#news message There ya go, keep an eye on #news for more.

[tawdry notch]

Thats the only news 😭

[chrome badge]

You asked for any news though. 👀

How am I supposed to know what you already know.

[tawdry notch]

The only thing i knew was that it was releasing in 26 but i was wondering anybody knew the month yet

[chrome badge]

So you're hoping someone in a general chat knows more than what's being officially posted? 🤔

[tawdry notch]

low key yeah 🙏

but anyway thanks

[indigo socket]

how do you all protect your boars from the goddamn grey dwarves 🙁

[chrome badge]

...walls?

[indigo socket]

Yah I have partial walls and then fenced area. You just keep them in walls?

[chrome badge]

Yeah, that's what they're for.

[indigo socket]

10-4

[silk token]

personally i never tame boars cuz they go REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE every 5 seconds i cant do it, i just kill boars i see and thats enough meat and hide every game

[hazy cypress]

I built a fully enclosed barn for my boars and surrounded it with sharp sticks.

I can also enter on the second floor to feed them if they are still being tamed.

[dull warren]

Personally I love a good boar slaughter

I use the meat to breed more wolves, and then I slaughter the wolves

My wife hates my animal slaughters, they're... realistic sounding

[analog hearth]

that is one way to put it hahaha

[steel forge]

I always felt bad slaughtering the wolves. That’s why I turned on following tames teleport to you mod. They deserve to die gloriously in battle at fuling villages.

[dull warren]

I mean generally speaking, I kill everything that moves in this game

[grizzled coyote]

I guess if im in the middle of China, I won't be able to play with guys in EU, right?

[glad night]

Only if you don't have internet connection

[dull warren]

I did read something in some patch notes that they fixed the lag issues at least to the point that people could play with players on the other side of the Earth, but I can't remember where

Damn, almost seven stacks of iron scrap, that was a productive crypt

[granite grail]

I don't slaughter my wolves lol. I get plenty of stuff from wild ones and getting hunted. My wolves are guardians and family members 😂 ❤️ they all have names. It doesn't help that wolves are also my legit favorite animal

[alpine tide]

If I am near the end of the game we say to do the last biome and a friend makes a new world/server, can I bring my strong gear all to that new world, if I can, won’t that make it too easy to do all the biomes in that world?

[dull warren]

I assume it would

[prime moth]

"too easy" sure idk but what's yall's goal in the new world

its kinda fun since repairs cant be done unless you have the appropriate station

also~ oak trees in the plains are aesthetic as fuck highly reccommend

[tacit crystal]

Tested, and wooden sledge works (spoiler because end game gear).

[last otter]

Since when is there a Sledge in the game? I have never seen that.

I’ve seen Stagbreaker, but not an actual sledge.

[tacit crystal]

Stagbreaker is sledge.

But there are also iron sledge since EA launch and ||Demolisher|| in Mistlands.

[last otter]

I mean, like, the only hammer I’ve seen is the building hammer and Stagbreaker.

[tacit crystal]

In clip you see wooden sledge, which is collectible wooden weapon.

[last otter]

Yes! That is new to me.

[tacit crystal]

Wooden weapons for each weapon type were added in Call of Arms update.

[last otter]

Oh, I see.

[tribal trench]

I have only ever been able to find the other weapon types.... nice sledge

[last otter]

I read your name as “Doorknob Rex” I don’t know why, lol.

[tribal trench]

hmm

[last otter]

Interesting, indeed.

[tacit crystal]

Each biome up to Mistlands have at least one wooden weapon to find.

[tribal trench]

I found the two handed sword a few months back but no sledge hehe

[tribal trench]

Did they change anything about rocky?? I keep seeing these photos of a huge rock

[tacit crystal]

Sledge can be found in ||swamps||, the POI with ||body piles and skeleton spawner||.

[analog hearth]

rocky?

[lunar sapphire]

rocky!

[tacit crystal]

It hasn't changed, but new POI has been added in celebratory update.

[tribal trench]

Cool!

[tacit crystal]

The POI ||is found in black forest and has 10 possible spawn locations|| similarly as ||traders||, and it contains ||at least 20 rockys||.

[tribal trench]

wow...

[abstract warren]

Can't get a damn cultist trophy this time ffs

FINALLY

[lunar sapphire]

Is it recommended to jump from early axes lvl 3 to Bronze Axe?

not done an axe playthrough before

probably early axes to battleaxes (post elder)

[abstract warren]

Swords are a lot better

[lunar sapphire]

Notice how I said I'm doing an "axe playthrough" 😄

I've done swords a few times now 😄

[abstract warren]

Ok

[tacit crystal]

I used early axes even in Mistlands, but there they were more for fast gliding with feather cape.

[lunar sapphire]

Fair

you can get a bit of "diagonal" drift when in the air by jumping and using the dual-axes special attack

[tacit crystal]

More like: stand on the edge of cliff and use secondary attack.

[fossil garnet]

hello guys can u guys please tell me where shoud i be going after defeating bonemass and whats the next armor upgrade after iron?

[frozen void]

mountains

[tacit crystal]

Mountains, drop from bonemass helps finding next material.

[fossil garnet]

i was there and got hunted by 10 wolfes lol

also those damn musqitoes killed me 20 times trying to recover my items

[tacit crystal]

Plains become next after mountains.

Some AoE options against multiple wolves can be helpful. Some options like atgeir secondary, battleaxe, sledge, ooze bombs.

[vivid yoke]

AYO WHEN DEEP NORTH? I NEED SOMETHING TO PLAY AAAAH :/

[tacit crystal]

Deep North is added when it is ready.
When did you play last time?

[vivid yoke]

last time i played was May 2024, i completed Ashlands before it was nerfed. Game is obviously spectacular, but dont want to do another playthrough if the Deep North is going to be released in the next 6 months

[tacit crystal]

We don't have expected date announced yet, but game has gotten few content patches after Ashlands, which are quite significant.

[vivid yoke]

reckon its worth a replay?

if i played it before those patches

[tacit crystal]

IMO yes.

Do you want short recap what has been added?

[vivid yoke]

that would be great man

[tacit crystal]

Okay, so:
October 2024 added new trader in swamps, who sells items for new meads, new type of food and very nice tool (||scythe||).
Last September we got combat update which added few new mobs (||bears||), new armor sets and weapons for types with very few weapons earlier (like ||fists||), new wearable items and new combat system related to them, improvements for slope combat, ways to train your weapon skills etc.
Last February we got small celebrative update which focused more on significant fixes and improvements for performance, for example audio issue in Ashlands is fixed. It also added few new items, like meadows tier ||dual wield axes||.
Obviously not everything is revealed above but the most significant changes.

[vivid yoke]

thanks a lot for taking the time to summarize bud, looks like its decided! playing Valheim again ❤️

[tacit crystal]

IMO it's always worth coming back, have lots of fun!

[vivid yoke]

i've replayed this game i think 5-6 times as the biomes and content patches were released, so i completely agree that its always worth coming back 😄

[shrewd summit]

guys, does anyone know when the update with the winter biome will be approximately?

[lunar sapphire]

No approximate time frame yet. Only answer is "when it's ready"

[tacit crystal]

No release date has been announced yet.

[shrewd summit]

okay thank you

[mental pasture]

hmm, you set up a portal near your place of death yet?

[fossil garnet]

i finally got the items back after many deaths lol now im searching for silver

[mental pasture]

make sure to set up portals at the silver veins, you may need to repair your items and cancel any mountain enemies’ aggro

and as an additional tip, frostner is a really really good blunt weapon in general, but terrible against moder, im planning on making the silver sword for her and onward

[nocturne wolf]

its not good for stone golems either, iron mace is good for them

[mental pasture]

yea it took 5 deaths and 40 minutes of fighting moder to kill her with the frostner, not to mention the occasional stone golem coming in with the silver chair causing a majority of those deaths

god i need to learn to put portals at boss vegivisirs if i ever fear i might lose items

[nocturne wolf]

vegvisirs are the small stones that mark the boss spawns

[mental pasture]

oh so thats the correct term thx, meant the actual boss summoning locations

also additional general tip: queen’s jam is severely outclassed by plains cloudberries, dont craft them unless you really need extra stamina for bronze age, or you want the ingredients for the black forest feast after gaining access to the bog witch, but please save up those raspberries and blueberries for the muckshakes, the cloudberries have slightly better stats than the queens jam, and you can forage them faster in the plains than you can sustainably craft queens jam, not to mention it stacks up to 50 for a very high-tier early-mid game stamina food

[hidden talon]

can my friend somehow share the world so i can play if he is offline? and the progress will save

[strange cradle]

Only if you either rent a server, or your friend's computer is always on and Valheim dedicated server is running.

[frozen void]

or you give your files back and forth

[strange cradle]

Probably... very inconvenient. 😉

[hidden talon]

whats best site to rent a server

[tacit crystal]

People in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550119191412736 might be able to help better.

[frozen void]

i was starting to think my entire ashlands was one piece of land, cause i started from east and worked my way west. i got about 3/4 towards the other mysterious location near the end of ashlands on west before i had to sail again

[analog hearth]

lucky
I and my friends had to sail for each location 😭

Oh yeah, is the fire sword worth it? Because I can't tell...

[spark plover]

It isn't really better than other ashlands weapons, but imo it's a fun adventure

[analog hearth]

I died so much...

[spark plover]

yeah it can definitely be kinda hard

[foggy glacier]

That's part of the value of the weapon; bragging rights.

Actually, I think that's mostly the point.

[hazy cypress]

Does weapon experience scale with enemy level?

[nocturne wolf]

no, all enemies give the same xp

[hazy cypress]

Ok. So it doesn't matter if I train a new weapon on greylings or bears?

[nocturne wolf]

you'll be able to hit a bear more times for more xp

I don't train weapons, just bring the weapon with you as you focus on progressing normally

[hazy cypress]

So it's per hit, rather than just killing the enemy?

[nocturne wolf]

yes

[hazy cypress]

I'd rather do a little bit of training with a completely unskilled weapon before taking it into a "serious" fight. (I'm think about the Atgeir)

[dim python]

craft twig

[foggy glacier]

Necks and Greylings.

[hazy cypress]

That will let you level a weapon?

[foggy glacier]

Yes, you earn xp for hitting TWIG

[chrome badge]

T.W.I.G. is a training dummy designed to help you level a weapon.

[dim python]

or train

[hazy cypress]

I thought it was just a decoration. lol.

[dim python]

i started parrying with twig first

[chrome badge]

Yeah, that's what I mean when saying training dummy. 😅

[dim python]

twig is excellent for parry practice

[hazy cypress]

It attacks as well?!?!?

[dim python]

very lightly

[chrome badge]

Have you not built it?

[hazy cypress]

Not yet. As I said, I thought it was just a decoration.

[dim python]

he him pronouns he is animated with ectoplasm

(not a rule just a preference)

[chrome badge]

Not at all, but I would recommend building everything at least once.

[dim python]

even decorations have practical uses, banners and armor stands increase comfort

twig will scare your tamed animals though so be a bit wary

[hazy cypress]

I wouldn't be building it near the barn. So, hopefully fear won't be an issue. Unless it can wander freely and open doors.

[dim python]

very much not 🥲 he's rooted in place

[hazy cypress]

Interesting. Though I think I built him too close to other things. Might need to be moved.

When I rebuild the base, I'll make sure to build a training area.

[indigo socket]

I found an ||axe head|| in a chest but dont know what to do with it. Anyone have an idea? Ooo just read up you can ||combine them?? || Does it make ||a battleaxe??||

[foggy glacier]

You need another different item. Keep searching in more chests.

[tacit crystal]

Find different one. It makes into ||dual wield axes||.

[indigo socket]

I think I ||have both axe heads|| just have to find through which portal/base I stored it in lol.

Is that what you mean or is there still something else?

[tacit crystal]

Check workbench if you have the recipe.

[indigo socket]

Did not see it when I checked thats why I wasnt sure what to do with it. But I googled and found some info.

[foggy glacier]

That is what I mean. It's possible you have two copies of the same axe head, though.

[indigo socket]

Oh snap. Ok. Thanks!!

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, 2 different heads.

[indigo socket]

Thanks!!

[hazy cypress]

My favorite early game weapon.

[lunar sapphire]

A "thanks!!"? that can take you to ashlands iirc

[hazy cypress]

I'm confused...

I think you may have tagged the wrong post.

[dim python]

bog witch found

[lunar sapphire]

On a scale of 2,500m to world map. What is the radius if drawn on the map to look for rocky?

[dim python]

does "kvastur" have a translation?

kvastur is the bog witch's animate broom

[tacit crystal]

At least 1000m from center and between 5-20m altitude up from water level.

First 4 biomes but more likely in first 2 due to altitude requirements.

[lunar sapphire]

Is there a visualised form of that?

[tacit crystal]

I've usually found them more inland, not at waters.

[lunar sapphire]

Have just by chance found Rocky ❤️

[smoky quarry]

how is that possible?!

[lunar sapphire]

Exploration ✨

[smoky quarry]

yea, whole 20min of it

[lunar sapphire]

😄

[frozen void]

50% chance. Either find him or you don't

[lunar sapphire]

that's... that's great odds!

he lives ❤️

[regal cave]

He looks sad. Maybe he needs company

[frozen void]

Looks miserable

[lunar sapphire]

I forget how to change his emotions 😄

[regal cave]

He needs a lovely lady to smile at him
