[strange cradle]

WTH? Who used a stone axe for the Elder?

[foggy glacier]

and as melee weapons go, it's among the best.

[opal prairie]

Abyssal razor is also good against elder.

[strange cradle]

I am mightily confuz0red.

[dim python]

i loved my bronze axe so much...

[steel mica]

A STONE AXE?

AGAINST THE 2ND BOSS? 😭

[strange cradle]

I still use a bronze axe to fell my oaks.

[foggy glacier]

I meant axes as a weapon type.

[dim python]

stone axe better weppin than wood club

[strange cradle]

Well... it depends.

[drowsy badge]

club is good for skellies

[dim python]

shrug

[strange cradle]

Exactly.

[drowsy badge]

for early game atleast

[strange cradle]

I make the flint axe ASAP.

And that's good for everything.

[steel mica]

I guess sure later on but a STONE AXE AGAINST ELDER?

[dawn gull]

bro sailing on the ocean to find swamps

[drowsy badge]

i never craft a stone axe these days

[dim python]

optimus prime we were just talking about you

[dawn gull]

is annoying asf

i keep coming across land

[steel mica]

Later on sure but a stone axe... against the big tree 😂

[strange cradle]

You should usually find swamp EVERYWHERE.

[dim python]

swamp is kinda everywhere...

[dawn gull]

i usually find meadows and black forest everywhere

[steel mica]

they're brave I will give them that

[drowsy badge]

the problem is to find a sizable swamp with alot of crypt

[glad grove]

I am definitely coming back to read the commentary when Optimus Prime first lands in the swamp.

[strange cradle]

Yeah, that might depend on the seed. I give you that.

[steel mica]

Hell of an experience once they embark on swamps

[dawn gull]

then this seed is ass

im surrounded by black forest and meadows

[drowsy badge]

i use seed viewer

[strange cradle]

But so far, I never had much of a problem finding swamps with iron.

[drowsy badge]

and then forgot about it

[strange cradle]

You just might have to go a bit... farther out.

[dawn gull]

i do a u turn and im in meadows again

i make a left and im in black forest

[opal prairie]

Found one with at least 24 crypts, 4 abomination spots, 6 Surtling spawners and bone mass altar in my world.

[strange cradle]

That's awesome.

[steel mica]

Keep looking, not every seed is equal, some have high hoghs and some low lows

[dawn gull]

whats the chance of me being struck by lighting in valheim

[strange cradle]

0%.

[steel mica]

0

[frozen void]

Weeeelll

[steel mica]

unless you purposely do so with a specific something

[strange cradle]

😄

[drowsy badge]

there's lighting in the game?

[dim python]

you can technically stand near ||an obliterator||

[strange cradle]

Spoilz0r

[silk token]

it may be. ive been locked inside giant lakes or oceans with tiny or no water path out of it. just try heading one cardinal direction best you can its impossible to not find swamp

[strange cradle]

Yeah, swamp is everywhere.

[dawn gull]

holy theres an army of gredrawf brutes

[strange cradle]

Hehe. The nightmare of the bronze age.

[frozen void]

You just need to sail further from center and look for dead trees

[dawn gull]

whats

[analog hearth]

tree

[strange cradle]

A tree is a tree is a tree...

Until it kills you.

[dim python]

my suggestion is to explore the outer edges of all nearby continents

idk if i got lucky but my spawn lands were so huge the elder and a bit of swamp was there

[silk token]

optimus how do you have bread if youve never been to swamps??

[strange cradle]

You can get seeds where a lot of the early bosses are on one landmass.

[dim python]

communist servers, i had that too

[strange cradle]

Up until Yagluth.

[dawn gull]

i played multiplayer with a friend he left me behind but left me behind some gear

[drowsy badge]

i don't enjoy moder's fight

[dawn gull]

he was unemplioyed and i was employed

[strange cradle]

Yeah, Moder is the first boss where skills DO matter.

[drowsy badge]

well for me it's terrain issue

[dawn gull]

whats modder

[drowsy badge]

yagluth tho
it's nice, but finding him is ass

[silk token]

oh, too bad he didnt leave you a shield

[strange cradle]

Moder means "Mother".

[dim python]

[drowsy badge]

happy moder's day

gjall

[dawn gull]

i crafted my own sword and shield

ooh

he left me a huntsman bow

didnt see that

[strange cradle]

You should really try it on your own with a new seed. You don't learn the ropes by using stuff others left behind.

[drowsy badge]

ah my favorite sneak bow

[strange cradle]

You just progress to swiftly without learning how to play the game.

[silk token]

oh ok i didnt see shield on your hotbar was wondering

[dawn gull]

i played this game 2 years ago

[rapid moat]

Was a big long pink sword left behind?

[dawn gull]

i forgot all the info

[strange cradle]

lol

[dawn gull]

why

[strange cradle]

Kids these days... sigh

[rapid moat]

I was not referring to those things dirty man

[dusky bison]

hey guys, new in valheim, was wondering around black forest and came accros a big weird stone, it was surrounding with little rocks with a label "It's just a rock". what is it ?

[strange cradle]

Well, it sounded like it!

[dawn gull]

no

[strange cradle]

There is no "pink" sword in Valheim.

[drowsy badge]

there's only burning sword

[rapid moat]

The cheat sword is pinkish red and 1 hit kills everything

[dawn gull]

then why did you ask me

[drowsy badge]

admin sword?

[strange cradle]

Ok, I don't know about a pink admin sword that kills everything with one hit.

[drowsy badge]

i mean i rarely touch coonsole command

[dawn gull]

why did you ask me if i got let behind a red long pink sword

wait what?

[strange cradle]

Sounds unnecessary since there is the "kill" command.

[dawn gull]

YO

big long pink sword

[strange cradle]

wtf?

[drowsy badge]

huh?

[rapid moat]

I don't use console commands myself but came across it once in an online server

[dim python]

yur friend cheted

[dawn gull]

theres no big long pink sword

[drowsy badge]

is that a dev tool?

[dawn gull]

i just thought it sounded sus

[strange cradle]

most likely not.

[foggy glacier]

it also sounds vaguely phallic. It's probably a cheat.

[drowsy badge]

yeah it's a cheat tool

[strange cradle]

It's probably a mod.

[drowsy badge]

you can rephrased it to not sound that way

[strange cradle]

"pink sword"... c'mon...

[dim python]

how are you this morning, The Grand Master?

[strange cradle]

lol

[drowsy badge]

good queen

[drowsy badge]

suh king

[strange cradle]

Shit...

[foggy glacier]

that sucks. I'm sorry, man.

[strange cradle]

That IS a civil war if I've ever heard of one.

[lunar sapphire]

Just a reminder not to have political or controversial topics in this discord.

[strange cradle]

I would stop... I feel bad for you, but more talk like that will get you banned.

[drowsy badge]

ah violance breed violance

let's go back to viking game

[strange cradle]

Yup.

[dawn gull]

im gonna find swamp

[strange cradle]

You will!

[dawn gull]

i didnt realize i made my house into a fort

[strange cradle]

You need to.

Or raids will flatten your premises.

[drowsy badge]

im planning on building three base

[lunar sapphire]

Ooh another infested mine ❤️

[frozen void]

https://tenor.com/view/seagull-pixar-seagulls-ocean-gif-996698667031947568

[lunar sapphire]

Hopefully this one has less of a welcoming party than the first

[drowsy badge]

also mmmm
making smoothies out of dead people (muckshake)

[grizzled copper]

what are u doing after beating valheim? after i killed moder the game feel kinda empy... 😄

[lunar sapphire]

Moder is mid-game 😄

[drowsy badge]

yeah she is mid game

she a choire for me

[grizzled copper]

fader is the last boss yeah i meant that guy

[lunar sapphire]

Do you mean chore?

[drowsy badge]

oohh

[drowsy badge]

yes

[analog hearth]

so uh, is this rocky

[grizzled copper]

i mean that green dragon 😄

[frozen void]

After killing fader? Now i can finally play the game

[analog hearth]

because I have no idea

[drowsy badge]

english confused me sometimes

[grizzled copper]

english is my second language 😄

[drowsy badge]

aint that most of us here

[brittle flower]

you go home happy to start playing the game and then the valkyrie snatches you and you cry in valhalla 😂

[lunar sapphire]

ooh 6 blackcores already and I just walked in

[grizzled copper]

i am gonna need deep north as quick as possible can someone update the game till the end of the week please? appreciate it...

[tacit crystal]

How about some 2 star ticks? 👀

[lunar sapphire]

There 1 one in my first mine

thankfully wasn't too bad

[tacit crystal]

Suddenly attaching you behind.

[brittle flower]

nothing

[lunar sapphire]

attaching and attacking

[tacit crystal]

Yep.

[brittle flower]

the root armor is the saviour

and himminafl

[drowsy badge]

ah the booletproof vest

[tacit crystal]

Last playthrough with my group one of us died rapidly to one, due to no stamina to shake it off.

Next time she saw one she already was on mage equipment and bombarded it to death. It was hilarious reaction.

[grizzled copper]

deep north will be out till the end of the year or not?

[tacit crystal]

No exact dates announced yet.

[brittle flower]

they havent announced anything

[grizzled copper]

good support of the game 😄

[dawn gull]

my fingers hurt

[opal prairie]

||Pick it up and now you are the owner of a pet rock.||

[lunar sapphire]

I defeated it Joel but you wholeheartedly summoned a 2 star Tick

not happy Jan

[dusky bison]

cute, any benefits ?

[opal prairie]

||You need two and place them close together and watch magic happen.||

[dusky bison]

I'm intrigued

[rose fog]

Am I missing something or are all the Ashlands upgrades very underwhelming

[lunar sapphire]

10 black cores from this mine

nice, nice

[opal prairie]

I want such a mine, so far the best mine I ever had was 6 cores.

[rose fog]

I made Dundr hoping it would be a big upgrade over staff of embers and it feels worse. I have a level 2 upgraded melee weapon with lightning and it's barely better for charred than the silver sword

[lunar sapphire]

this one had 4 loot rooms. 3 cores, 3 cores, 2, 2

[rose fog]

The biggest upgrade so far is from the new food items

[rapid moat]

Build a farm in the swamp then add a teleporter to the farm from your base

[tacit crystal]

Thanks to the 2 star tick I summoned.

It balanced out.
Jkjk.

[eternal blade]

food, stone portals and armors are biggest ashlands upgrades, yeah.

[opal prairie]

??? I think you replied to something or someone else that you wanted.
I was talking about an infested mine with 10 black cores.

[rapid moat]

Ohhh thought you were on about sirtling cores. I played back before any of the new biomes were added

[opal prairie]

I've got a Surtling spawner portal loop that connects 6 geysers so far, so in that regard I'm doing good.
A couple of runs through it gives me more than enough coal and cores.

[rapid moat]

Nice

Lost my original server looks like i gotta start out fresh debating wether to go at it solo or wait for the ps version and have at least a 6 man team playing 🤔

[opal prairie]

The special weapon choices are neat as well. A rooting and a lightning bow in tandem work great.

[opal prairie]

In Spanish Why not do both?
Also BEEBObeebo is a fun seed to play on in my opinion.

[eternal blade]

true, there are good ranged options. Melee is mixed, you can get upgrades for some fighting styles, but mistwalker/frostner rule 1H+shield there, and himminafl is strong for crowd control

[rapid moat]

It's not full of deathsquitos is it?

[opal prairie]

Every plains anywhere is full of deathsquitos.

[opal prairie]

Also true though lightning berserker axes are fun.

[rapid moat]

@opal prairie I'll pass on that seed

[opal prairie]

Doesn't matter which seed you take, each and every plains has too much deathsquitos.

That seed has a maypole close to spawn. 5 bosses all reachable without the need to use a boat. Big ass swamp and mountain included.

[rapid moat]

True everyone's first experience of the plains if full of hilarious moment and fear

[tacit crystal]

I like Primal axes a lot.

[opal prairie]

Yeah, hey what is that thing that suddenly appears at my back. Let me turn around and kill it.
What wait how am I dead from one sting.

I bet some people now have PTSD each time they hear buzzing they freak out.

[opal prairie]

On normal setting or with a drop multiplier?

[lunar sapphire]

Normal settings

first mine gave me 4

[opal prairie]

Dang!

[drowsy badge]

bees make honeys

[lunar sapphire]

Correct

[opal prairie]

They are happy about it as well.

[drowsy badge]

and honey make meads

[opal prairie]

Vikings are happy about that.

[drowsy badge]

im a wizard ask me anything

[opal prairie]

What is the meaning to life, the universe and everything?

[drowsy badge]

shit man im a cryomancer not astrologer

but life, is a performance

[opal prairie]

The universe the stage and everything else window dressing?

That answer is way too philosophical for me I'll stick to 42.

[drowsy badge]

i'll stick to enjoying mead and bread and uhhhhh onion soup

[tacit crystal]

@lost fiber #screenshots message That one is how the forced terrain generation forms the ocean gap between the other biomes and Ashlands, forcing even mountains on shore level.

[foggy glacier]

I've seen it as well.

[steel mica]

Even with new worlds it still occurs

so definitely just terrain generation being funny

because both the poles are to be seperated from any landmass from the non pole regions

[tacit crystal]

Ashlands currently seem to have separate generation compared to the rest of the world which is based on the bigger world map.

[foggy glacier]

I mean, it's not that surprising. You've only got ocean, mountain and Mistlands that can go out to the edge of the map.

[frozen void]

You could always get mountains at ocean level, when rivers cut through mountains

[granite grail]

I've passed a mountains on the shore as well. Also Black forest goes to the edge too

[foggy glacier]

According to the wiki, swamp and BF only go to 8000m, world edge is 10500.

[frozen void]

Bf used to go to the edge before mistlands released

If map was generated before then it still will

[tacit crystal]

Pretty sure it still reaches up to the edge.

[stoic raptor]

boo

[tacit crystal]

Not as much as before Mistlands update tho, which changed the world gen to form bigger areas of Mistlands biome.

Swamps used to reach to 8000m but now only up to 6000m.

[frozen void]

Yeah, on new versions the swamp on my seed that has 84 crypts is now 2/3 mistlands

[dim python]

chat i just wanted to let you all know

i'm so happy with mhy swamp castle ☺️

[chrome badge]

Oh? #screenshots 😄 ?

[dim python]

i'd be a little embarrassed, it's not very pretty

[chrome badge]

That's alright you don't have to share if you don't want to.

[dim python]

i'll share one

[chrome badge]

I'm the same way, even though I spend hours and hours building.

[drowsy badge]

where is it?

[dim python]

near the bog witch

[drowsy badge]

i mean screenshot

[chrome badge]

It's in #screenshots 👀

[chrome badge]

Looks very cozy and safe.

[drowsy badge]

wanna see my kitchen?

[chrome badge]

Sure!

[drowsy badge]

alright it's done

[strange cradle]

It is cozy.

[chrome badge]

Looks great, I prefer compact kitchens myself.

[silk token]

im a fan of cozy. not like super minmax built but no excessive walking or yaknow like 100 chests because i NEED 99999 of every resource

[drowsy badge]

you have basement for that

[silk token]

hehe right. well basement is usually where the forbidden crafting happens

cuz it happens later in the game and i dont need to expand outward or change my base

[drowsy badge]

mine i have workshop

[dim python]

i found another rocky rock

i put a rocky rock next to Rocky and named her Stoney

[frozen void]

I still havent found one

[hidden talon]

can i place some other source of fire near my bed to sleep?

like standing brazier or smth

[foggy glacier]

sure can.

campfire, bonfire, hearth, either brazier, and Hildir's ||iron fire pit||

[hidden talon]

thanks

[foggy glacier]

That being said, the hearth gives an extra comfort level.

[mellow reef]

yes, anything that provides the Heat buff onscreen, at the middle of the bed. Hot Tub sadly doesn't work well because the radius is tiny

[mild mason]

I genuinely agree with you on that. I hope so too.

[opal prairie]

Ring ring Yeah hello, am I talking to the ghostbusters?

[urban basin]

do iron cage floors let rain and smoke through?

[frozen void]

Yes and no iirc

[opal prairie]

What they said.

[urban basin]

so i cant use it as my chimney top?

[opal prairie]

Correct.

[urban basin]

what should i put on top of a 19m stone chimney then

[glad sundial]

try a bent neck

[opal prairie]

Either have a hole in front or to the sides and close the top.

[urban basin]

okay

[frozen void]

Is iylt 19m above any fire? If so you probably don't need to vent anything

[urban basin]

the fire is at the very bottom

[paper marsh]

Smoke disappears after traveling for a bit. 19m high you don’t have any gameplay consequences of not creating a proper outlet

[frozen void]

Yep

[steel forge]

Smoke also only needs 1 meter of space to escape and a hearth won’t go out if 50-60% of it is covered so you can do some interesting chimney builds

[stoic raptor]

indeed

[dim python]

does that mean a hearth will stay lit if it's built partway into crypt entrance masonry? (where my bog witch base is)

[steel forge]

Not entirely sure the chimney build I found covers half of it with a 45 roof piece and it stays lit so there’s a good chance it will work.

[silver whale]

how download mods?

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion might know 😄

[sweet gorge]

Have the serpennt spawn chanses been lowered went 2 nights without spawn

[merry pebble]

Nope, still the same afaik. 🙂

Best chances are at night while its raining

[sweet gorge]

What how!

[merry pebble]

They spawn only at night, or when its raining, so if both is happening you have chances of both those conditions spawning serpent 😄

[frozen void]

5% chance during rain, 5% chance during night, 10% if both iirc

[sleek sky]

Or 100% with console commands

[merry pebble]

Now now, thats cheating 😏

[sleek sky]

Its only cheating if you get caught or admit you did it 😏

[merry pebble]

-# You will get the tag "Cheater!" regardless if someone finds out

[tacit crystal]

Using any console command will mark you character with "Cheater!" tag.

[sleek sky]

Bring back the "dirty cheater" console output

I want the game to call me a cheater

[merry pebble]

Just use the commands 😄 then you can use /stats in chat and there you have it

[sleek sky]

Next playthrough im thinking of naming my character "bigfatcheater"

[high coral]

can somebody explain what block force does for shields?

[merry pebble]

Thats how much you push enemies back when blocking 🙂

[high coral]

no effect on the amount of damage blocked?

[merry pebble]

Nope

That is block armor

[high coral]

it's a bit detrimental to one handed weapons then

like when i have wall shield with 100 block force pushing enemy away from me

[merry pebble]

Somewhat, maybe, but if oyu are not using tower shield... Oh, you are xD

[analog raptor]

The coal farm still works?

[merry pebble]

The one using geysirs? Yep.

[high coral]

what shield do you use?

[merry pebble]

Round or buckler, i like my parries 🙂

Or non at all if i am using 2 handed weapons

[dim python]

do you get a cheater tag for playing with casual death penalties

is that why my chara in her list has imp horns 👿

[high coral]

can only make wood shield or tower shield so far

[merry pebble]

Ehm... No?

And i have no idea? 😅

[high coral]

parries are great yeah

[analog raptor]

In your opinion its the best way to farm coal or has another better?

[merry pebble]

Its probably the easiest, but tree farms + kilns will get you more coal at once
-# If you have plenty geysirs then use that for sure, its free after all 😄

[high coral]

was using paws of the bear and it works surprisingly well with 6x parry bonus but if i miss the parry then it's oh shit

so going to use a bronze sword with bone tower shield for now

albeit not having that parry sucks

[merry pebble]

At least the movement penalty of tower shields has been lowered in CtA update 😄

[high coral]

oh i can make a bronze buckler already

[merry pebble]

Yep 😄

[dim python]

chop trees for an excuse to level a black forest and spawn bears in broad daylight

[high coral]

i'm going for it
crafting bronze is such a pita

[merry pebble]

Are you using the Shift+Craft to make 5 at once? 😄

Or do you just mean gathering it in general?

[high coral]

30 bronze to upgrade it to lvl 3 wow

[dim python]

bronze buckler is good for parrying bone tower is good for straight up blocking. there is no bronze age middle ground i know of

[high coral]

gathering

[merry pebble]

Ah, yeah it might be somewhat long chore, but worth it imo 😄

[high coral]

buckler gives me 30 armor and 2.5 parry bonus while i have 42 armor with tower shield and no parry

will see how it goes

[dim python]

if you crave parry a buckler'ill doya good ya

in the meantime practice with paws of the bear

[merry pebble]

Yeeeep, you can parry more stuff with buckler than you can block with tower shield. But honestly some of the tower shields are so pretty you could want them simply for decor 😄

[high coral]

i had some meagre success with bears with the paws, but when i missed a few parries...

[dim python]

trial by fire

[high coral]

true that

well i got the buckler crafted so going with that

wanted to try bronze sword and so far loving it with the big swing arc

paws are nice and cool but not so much against more enemies

[dim python]

if you really want to block you might be better off just using bronze atgeir

first 2 handed weapon with decent block and parry

besides fists

fists have little block but good parey

[high coral]

using atgeir, yes

[merry pebble]

Swords also have no multi target penalty 😄 so you deal full dmg to enemies even when hitting more of them simultaneously or when hitting a wall/rock/tree together with an enemy

[high coral]

that's crazy

it's like a small special attack of attgeir but with each swing

minus the stagger

i'm trying different weapons to see how they work

[merry pebble]

The stagger of atgeirs is just really OP

[dim python]

atgeir a little busted learn battleaxe (iron age first)

[high coral]

why is that

[merry pebble]

-# More than "little" xD but i love them

[high coral]

all the weapons are very good tbh, or just fun but there's no reason to use them all

[dim python]

you have to learn to use battleaxe, the long windup on the first swing means you do more thinking about how you attack and benefit from keeping going (so long as it doesnt destroy you)

[high coral]

worth the try ig

[high coral]

i expect it being much worse than a standard axe

[dim python]

the damage is pretty good 😤

[merry pebble]

I would suggest swords or maces as really good all-rounder 1-h weapons 🙂
Maces have a bit more favourable match ups with enemies, but swords balance that out really well with the lack of MTP. And they also dont have many unfavourbale match ups.

[high coral]

been fighting a lot with bronze axe and flint axe, they are just very handy to use in between chopping trees

MTP?

[merry pebble]

Multi target penalty

[dim python]

battleaxe is also good for hitting that graydwarf that's bothering you without taking your attention off the oak tree in the farm

[merry pebble]

Yeah, axes in general are useful if you want to save a slot. They double as tool and a weapon.

[dim python]

battleaxe over normal axe and sword sometimes yeah

get one that does all 3

[merry pebble]

They are great (hehe, as in greataxes xD) but you have to get bit used to them first 😄

[plucky hinge]

The bees are happy.

[merry pebble]

[dim python]

i'm honestly still not used to them

i've been defaulting to mace for non abominations

[tacit crystal]

Axe for them all.

https://giphy.com/gifs/destripandolahistoria-hFT2AEFlah0AHFcibs

[high coral]

if it works for all then i'm all in

[silk token]

hello i’m a preist of the temple of battleaxe do you have a minute? the thing about battleaxe is it always hits everything in front of you for full damage, plus has 50% extra stagger damage so anything you touch gets staggered and 2 shot, some large mobs are easily stunlocked. its secondary attack has high stagger and knockback for a defensive tool

[merry pebble]

It is quite versatile tool
But as i said, you have to get used to it a bit.

[high coral]

hello priest, maybe i will join your temple

[silk token]

we would be happy to have you. odin guide you.

[high coral]

i do love my attgeir but it's very poor against some enemies

[tacit crystal]

https://giphy.com/gifs/nounish-dao-nouns-goldypix-VtDRXohjexcyCDlL6Z

Axe gang growing stronger.

[merry pebble]

Is Atgeir gang enemies or allies with Temple of battleaxe?

[tacit crystal]

They are not mutually exclusive.

[silk token]

to be fair battleaxe is poor against some enemies too, but of you have a spear or a… krom?-with you you’re covered

[high coral]

sound like i'm covered then

[silk token]

they are free to practice as they wish, some never find the axe

all shall struggle in the
burning lands.

[plain shard]

Whats the easiest strat to beat the moutains boss i really dunno what to use for it

[silk token]

hit it a bunch 3-4 times, dodge, hit it a bunch some more, dodge again

[merry pebble]

Both organisations are friends and their members might even subscribe to both of them

[plain shard]

Is making a lot of arrows a good idea

[silk token]

if i used a bow and didnt have redundant piercing damage on spear id consider using both

[silk token]

i prefer to just let my stamina recover and dodge breath while she flies, but i dont use bows so lol

[plain shard]

I thought she was only in the air and didint land at all😭

[silk token]

idk the thing is… i need spear, and i dont need a crowd weapon or piercing damage, so really theres zero reason to carry atgier

[high coral]

can't post screenshot here, my current setup is bronze sword, bow, attgeir, bronze axe, hammer, buckler, pickaxe and healing potion

[silk token]

imean thats pretty solid. if you use atgier battleaxe isnt super important.

[plain shard]

Do you have any tips for the meadows cause i alredy hate the flying bugs and ik theres a good weapon out of the needles

[silk token]

you mean plains? i like throwing spears at the bugs personally

[plain shard]

Spears cant be that good

[silk token]

atgier is really great in plains, for both small mob groups and the large mobs, you’ll be fine

[high coral]

i'm all for having the functionality of axe and crowd weapon in one solid package, will certainly give it a try

[silk token]

oh wait im mixing up my people

[silk token]

imean i dont miss skeetos with throws theyre pretty easy to hit

[silk token]

definitely, battleaxe is positioning and timing. let things come to you and hit as many at once as u can

[plain shard]

Idk im used to using swords and rn im using the frostner i think thats what it wass called

[high coral]

just hit swamps and these things are nasty

[silk token]

for plains you’ll want uhhhh imean sword and frostner is fine, especially if ur used to them

[tacit crystal]

They are super good when you learn to use them.

[plain shard]

I alredy want to use some magic

Cause i cant dodge to save my life

And umm those caves on the moutains with the mini boss from the quest where are the other structures like what biomes

[high coral]

can you give me a hint for the elder sacrifice?

[tacit crystal]

Look hints from the altar if you are there.

[high coral]

||asking to burn their young||

[tacit crystal]

What is a "young" of a tree?

Such item can drop in black forest.

[high coral]

thx

[tacit crystal]

Actually, if you look at the pillars at the altar you can see the shape of the item you need.

[high coral]

didn't occur to me

[tacit crystal]

On top of the pillars I mean.

[silk token]

lol I wonder if anyone ever tried shoving greydwarves into the fire

[high coral]

buckler is really nice for parrying

[silk token]

||sealed tower is plains, other is black forest|| for the other two chests

[plain shard]

Yea

Is the plains one hard

And what do the chests even do

I have 2 from the moutains and ik i have to bring the back to that one trader

But you cant teleport it

[plucky hinge]

Ok, my new base is at a good holding spot right now. I think I will go explore.

[high coral]

is there a way to plant berries later on?

[tacit crystal]

No for raspberries, blueberries etc.

Mark them on your map since they regrow the berries.

[high coral]

ok then

will have to do that

[final bloom]

Yeah the game is way better when you actually have to sail around and then do side quests along the way and eventually return the chests a month later once you get sick of carrying them around for so long, put them in boat, forgot about them, boat got destroyed and you wonder where the chest came from and then realise you never actually made it all the way back.

[mortal oriole]

Swimming is an overlooked skill, try to max it out!

[fluid plank]

we lookin at a 2028 release for 1.0?

[ripe walrus]

I can’t choose between two names for my meadows inn.
Small context: inn is gonna be surrounded by a small farmstead village (and further away, past a bridge, there’ll be a villa surrounded by farmland, plantation basically), this village is called Grainmoor, so the two names:

1. The Hearthstone Inn: because the inn has one big rock inside (since my first day in Valheim actually, never removed it, kept it as a monument).
2. The Golden Sheaf: suits the farm-vibe better. Makes it feel like one a farmstead inn.

I feel like the story behind The Hearthstone Inn is more unique.

[mortal oriole]

There are some really good mods that add many decorative pieces you could definately use for your Inn. OdinArchitect is one you should see: https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/OdinPlus/OdinArchitect/

[ripe walrus]

Might. I currently just want to play Vanilla though. Am twisting a bit with these item frames and signs and such. Can make a lot of cool stuff myself.

[mortal oriole]

Cool! I think Gizmo would be another mod, it allows you to change the spin direction of build items you place, upside and all around!

[mortal oriole]

Ok, one more, it's called clutter, you make a bucket for a build hammer, and has indoor decore galore, bookshelves, books, on and on.
Vanilla is a challenge to make things really look good. Most go to Gizmo to manipulate placement, then its on to custom pieces. Take your time, no rush.

[silk token]

the plains one has || 1 star goblins and shamans, with a boss on bottom who's basically a boss version of a berserker with a shaman riding on top of him lol, pretty challenging || as a reward the chests give you || more clothing options mostly, and also raids equal to the dungeons. the one really worth getting is the black forest one because it gives you a farming outfit that increases farming skill ||

[plucky hinge]

Oh. I just threw a rest / respawn point up in an old barn, and accidentally created a very cool little fireplace. I'm easily amused, and still on wood / bronze.
Link: #screenshots message

Oops. The wolves came.

[regal cave]

TIL Early Axes can chop Scorched Trees

And a Bronze Buckler can parry Charred Marksman

[dull warren]

Gotta say, moving livestock around in this game is utter shit

[mild mason]

?? make a harpoon?

[dull warren]

yeah that's fine for long or medium distances, but getting livestock precisely where you want it is frustrating

Just let me pick them up

Especially chickens lol

[regal cave]

use a wooden wall piece and place it against another wall piece that doesnt go more than halfway through the chicken and it will push the chicken

[dull warren]

neat, haven't tried that

[regal cave]

u can also use a wooden wall piece to push them up from underneath

[dull warren]

But I mean still, it's a bloody chicken. Let me pick it up

[regal cave]

TRUE, and kick it XD

[silk token]

i just discovered a forbidden early axe technique... the bouncing tripple tree chop

[regal cave]

Please share

[silk token]

imean its the same jump and swing glitch all weapons have, but particularly good with early axes chopping trees cuz u get 3 swings very quickly

[placid copper]

Man, I need to beat this game. I played with groups but NONE of them got super far. One stopped at iron and one stopped at the mountains.

[high coral]

built a small outpost near swamp, put some stakewalls around it and a moat

[placid copper]

So my fenris gear guy is just sitting there, unused, cause my buddies abandoned the world

[high coral]

should be quite safe i think

[wraith belfry]

I was playing Valheim last night.
I was in a sunken crypt digging up iron.
Next thing I know im waking up and my xbox has turned itself off.
I dread to see how my game looks when I turn it on next.
😭

[steel forge]

The make anything follow mod is op. Makes any tames follow you like wolves.

[high coral]

ouch

[dull warren]

It's not getting them to follow me that's annoying, it's placing them in the exact breeder pit I want them to go into that is

A harpoon solves long distance livestock movement well enough, but for finer placements, it sucks

[wraith belfry]

Last time I dozed off while playing i found my inventory full of a bunch of weapons I don't remember making.
Wasted a bunch of resources. 🥲

[steel forge]

Ah I see. For stuff like that I place a teleporter cause I play with following tames teleport to you if they get too far as well but yes fine placement leaves much to be desired.

[chrome badge]

Why not just hatch an egg where you want them to go

[dull warren]

Well I suppose really what's missing is "Pick thing up. Place thing at recticle"

[dull warren]

That's what I did lol

[chrome badge]

There you go, you picked up a chicken.

[dull warren]

That's what finally worked, putting the egg there and not the chicken

[chrome badge]

Just in egg form.

[steel forge]

Kinda makes it realistic though. Trying to get my dog to go somewhere specific is near impossible like the scale at the vet.

[chrome badge]

You've just made me realize, they could also just isolate the chicken and lead it along with seeds.

[dull warren]

I've trained dogs to go exactly where I told them to, it's not unrealistic, and besides, it's a chicken, I should be able to pick them up.

Leading them with seeds also helps, yes

It's the same with placing food down. You can't carefully place it where you want it, you're restricted to just chucking it around with trial and error

[chrome badge]

I don't see why you should be able to personally, just because it is feasible doesn't mean it's impossible to understand why it's not a thing. 😛

I should be able to pick Necks up, but the use cases are minimal for such a system.

[dull warren]

I mean wolves I can understand if we can't pick them up, the stay and follow commands are pretty good for the most part

A full grown wolf is a bit big to pick up

(or a boar, and I think a lox would definitely be too big)

[steel forge]

I’m curious as to what type of convoluted breeding structure you have. My egg layers are in a tiny building and having them follow worked just fine.

[dull warren]

I'll get a screenshot, just gotta wait for daylight

[chrome badge]

I would also mention, you can precisely place food in valheim, it's tossed the same distance everytime.

[dull warren]

It gets difficult in tight spaces

And I honestly don't think it makes any sense that I can't place something precisely, or even just drop it where I stand, but that I have to throw it around instead

[chrome badge]

Ah, I wouldn't utilize tight spaces for tames, mob pathing in Valheim is quite finicky.

They'll often chart a path outside of tight structures and run into walls.

[chrome badge]

It makes perfect sense, it wasn't programmed that way, and there's just 1 programmer on the team.

[dull warren]

I've been on a livestock automation kick lately

[dull warren]

Well yeah when you put it that way, sure lol

[chrome badge]

Adding every single thing for rare cases would severely slow development down.

[dull warren]

Yes but that doesn't mean I have to like it

I just have to live with it

[chrome badge]

Ah, well you're phrasing that it makes no sense.

Just clarifying a bit.

[dull warren]

Realistically, no, it doesn't, but from a human resources and development perspective, then it does

[dull warren]

#screenshots message

[steel forge]

I could see that, stairs screws up their pathing a lot I usually have to push tames on them.

[dull warren]

The corners make the harpoon difficult too

But with a small modification I was able to just drop a couple eggs in there after all my complaining

[high coral]

sword and buckler vs elder victorious

[shadow finch]

Fastest way to kill anything in valheim

[high coral]

was going with attgeir first but running out of stamina

so how do i proceed further?

[shadow finch]

Go with the iron mace for swamp, and keep using it for the mountains. When you reach the plains do what you want, I personally made a blackmetal sword and continued with the mistlands than the ashlands swords all the way till my sword skill got to 100

[paper marsh]

Read the name of the stuff Elder dropped

That’ll give a hint

[hot fern]

Is the hinted at drawbridge released already?

[analog hearth]

🙂‍↔️

[rancid pebble]

I still want to make prank-mead using bukeberries.

[regal cave]

To be given to dvergr

[high coral]

if you were playing as an archer, what arrows would you use?

[frozen void]

Whichever was the best available to me other than metal arrows

[lunar sapphire]

Wood arrows ❤️

[frozen void]

Idk if id go wood arrows past swamp if im only going archers tbh

[mild mason]

Beautiful Viking got a Warrior Trophy on his way to Elder today. Copper Knife got the last hit

But mainly wood arrows

[regal cave]

Tru but the bronze buckler and copper knife was good enough for marksman and 1 star twitchers

** in a dress fur hat and troll pants

[mild mason]

Yeah that's wild
Early Axes cutting ash trees was also wild

bronze buckler quality 3, the only shield you'll ever need

[high coral]

what about bear vs troll outfit?

in general

[jagged wind]

mostly wooden arrows on easier mobs.. for something challenging depends on their resistances... frost arrows for yag/mist/ashlands

wooden arrows mainly to save feathers

[granite grail]

Normally I don't ask, but.....Beautiful Viking is a he?

[jagged wind]

i went 2 pieces of bear with bronze helmet

never tried the berserk set bonus tbh

[mild mason]

Yeah

[granite grail]

O_o ain't no way. This whole time. I mean I thought Asatru and Omni were at first too but dang I was sure about Viking lol

[mild mason]

It becomes very apparent in the voice channels. Legendary player.

[peak needle]

someone want to play

[high coral]

it looks very good on paper

i don't know how big is the vulnerability to damage it gives

my houses look so damn ugly compared to creations of some people

[chrome badge]

We all start somewhere

[jagged wind]

u take like 25% more damage i think

[jagged wind]

thats why i always copy designs of others 😎

[high coral]

btw, how do you build on water?

[chrome badge]

You'll need support down through the water to the ocean floor.

[high coral]

can you do that in deep water?

[chrome badge]

I've never really given it a go, but I would assume it's not easy without utilizing a lot of trickery.

[high coral]

yet to find iron in this swamp

[frozen void]

#1024264966712340510

[frozen void]

Raise ground then build supports

[high coral]

i see, potentially lots of work but an interesting work

having hard time killing this abomination, guess i should just bow it

[jagged wind]

that will take some time

but if u have to i recommend fire arrows

its not a bad way to skill up ur bow like that as it takes lot of shots to kill him tbh

[high coral]

plan worked but there were no other monsters to bother me this time

used fire arrows btw

[grave parcel]

hey was there any update after emotewheel update?

[strange cradle]

Wow... when was that?

I know there is one... but I never used it.

And you can just check https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816

Or rather https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202170015671914506

[high coral]

so my gear is in a pretty tight spot

don't think i can get to it

ok, put a wall there and stairs

[steel mica]

That was in the five year anniversary update, so you dont have to type it in to emote

It uses a spiral method almost like stairs to select emotes

very nice

[strange cradle]

Yeah, I was surprised when I accidentally hit "T" just to get that circle in my face. 😄

[near furnace]

what about emote wheel?

[dawn gull]

bro i hate greylings they keep scaring away the deers

[merry pebble]

No they do not

They are part of the same faction.

[foggy glacier]

chances are you're the one scaring them away. sneak up from behind them.

[dawn gull]

what do i do with beehives

[steel forge]

Collect honey

[analog hearth]

drunk on meads

[dawn gull]

what the hell give gerylings my location

im sneaking up on a deer and a greyling suddenly attacks me giving the deer a chance to escape

[silk token]

im guessing this was a convo about sword vs axe against soldiers seeing omni’s video afterwards? if you jump around and thrust the solder’s butt after a parry you do way more, with a krom you almost or sometimes 1shot the soldier, then sword is much better than battleaxe at soldiers. or faster anyway

[wraith belfry]

Omfg
This game hates me tonight.
I was moving my portal from one place to another, and stumbled across this place that had multiple mob spanners in the one location. I was instantly swamped by several Mobs at once, after taking a fair amount of damage I decided to fall back. But I was pursued by several archers that managed to snipe ne through the trees taking me down.
As my boat was there too I had to build a raft to travel across the water to where my body was.
As I was doing so a pufferfish leapt onto my raft and stung me, and I died again to that poison.

So now my raft is somewhere out in the middle of the water.
So i gotta build another raft.

[drowsy badge]

hello

[wraith belfry]

Hey

[tacit crystal]

Sounds like common Valheim experience lol.

[wraith belfry]

I didnt evrn know pufferfish could do that.

[tacit crystal]

They can sometimes jump on longship on the bench where you steer the boat and get stuck there where you cannot pick it up but it constantly poisons you if you sit on that place.

[wraith belfry]

Lol. Oh shit.

[chilly zenith]

I accidentally used forcedelte too close to my base and its gone can i somehow undo it ?

[lone rampart]

Load a previous save maybe?

[tacit crystal]

Look at manage saves button on menu, search for your world name and load the previous back up save file before the deletion happened.

[chilly zenith]

Ok thanks will try that

[tacit crystal]

You can also do the same for your character.

As characters and worlds have individual save files.

[dim python]

i put a rocky next to rocky and he became a lot happier

[merry pebble]

They will also give you gifts 😄

[dim python]

yeah they were happy until a bunch of rocks appeared around them

oops

[dim python]

i am to understand ||fenrings|| are ||wolf men||?

[light moat]

#building-screenshots message
@shell bobcat
How did you do this?? This is insanely cool!

[merry pebble]

Anthropomorphic wolves pretty much 😄

[ripe walrus]

That’s why you first build a house / outpost when entering an unexplored island.

[tacit crystal]

Something I noticed: if you use full bear armor set, you will regain more stamina when you have cold and/or wet debuff if you re-equip your armor again.

[silk token]

thats that crazy math and order of effects and debuffs i saw people talking about once

i understood none of it. but if all i have to know is if stuck somewhere at night put helm off and on great

[tacit crystal]

Positives are additive and negatives are multiplicative and they are added in order they are gained.

Top shows before de-equipping any piece and bottom after re-equipping the armor set. Bottom order will have higher regen.

[dim python]

is it a good idea to get wet before becoming rested

[tacit crystal]

You really can't get rested after wet effect.

[cold otter]

got got by moder 🙁

[drowsy badge]

swamp

anyway goodnight gjall

[cold otter]

bye

[silk token]

that makes sense, multiply the negative sooner and add positive after. math. kind of silly it works like that. i imagine it was suggested that it shouldn't?

[mild mason]

I think you can get "resting" while wet, sitting in a hot tub, but I cant remember exactly if so.

[tacit crystal]

I don't know.

[tacit crystal]

Yeah, resting but not rested.

[mild mason]

Testing it now

[tacit crystal]

Resting and rested are 2 different status effects.

[mild mason]

Obviously.

[tacit crystal]

I mean, it would be more effective if you are planning to go to swamps.

Otherwise not worth the hassle.

[silk token]

its kind of not even worth is is it? cuz berserk is 15% and wet is -15%... if you have rested for +50% plus 15% with berserk that's 65%, -X15% what like 56%? instead of 50%, 44.75? plus 15% = 59.75?
so its a difference of 56% regen or 59.75% regen? i guess it's more of a difference with vile armor or stam mead but with just bear who cares. still weird its not all additive.

[mild mason]

#screenshots message

[tacit crystal]

Ah, now I must have mixed rested and resting.

[mild mason]

Well I have resting to the left of wet, as well. So I don't know if you mixed it up, but you were incorrect.

[cosmic dragon]

when will the deep north update come?

[tacit crystal]

When it is ready.

[cosmic dragon]

gotcha

[tacit crystal]

There has been no announced release dates yet.

[supple dew]

crossing my fingers for 2029 🤞

[tacit crystal]

In that case resting could only reapply if you went to the hot tub again.

Since raising up from the tub starts to rapidly reducing wet effect when being close to fires.

[mild mason]

👍 Fantastic. Still able to nestle the wet effect.

[tacit crystal]

But like I said, that could only be useful if you planned to go into swamps and go there before wet effect expires.

[mild mason]

Well, now you know

[tacit crystal]

Not possible to me currently since I'm still on black forest tier gear venturing into swamps in this new run.

[frank silo]

Venting: every time crossing the oceans on langskip with harpoon and bow in case of the ocean snake or however he is called. Never found him. Then my first encounter and one right after it was when I tried to just cross some water on raft naked to get to my grave :p sneaky bastard that noodle.

[static ruin]

my first experience with one was afk sailing across the ocean on a raft

came back to being respawned and didnt know what happened til later, was my first play session

[frank silo]

Got revenge on one of those two 🙂 not that hard but kinda scary.

[static ruin]

their greatest weakness is sailing in a straight line and shooting at them

[digital crow]

when is the game coming to ps5

i know they say 2026 but i just wonder like which month or something

[tacit crystal]

No further info yet.

[pliant hatch]

When it's ready.
Devs haven't given a date, so we don't know.
Keep an eye on https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202150165449035816 to find out when.

[tacit crystal]

All we know that the work is going well with the company that makes the ports for upcoming console releases.

[digital crow]

oh okay but do we know if its late 2026 or like summer

whats most likely

[frozen void]

could be december 31st for all we know

[pliant hatch]

Somewhere between now and December 31st.
That's all we know.

[digital crow]

haha ok thx for the help guys

[soft path]

I want to ask, does the Ashlands feel incomplete to anyone else? By all means it's feature complete. It has morgen caves, plenty of ruins, dvergr, charred forts, etc. Something about it just feels so empty, like there isn't meaningful progress there. I feel the same way about the mountains. Technically everything needed is there. It's hard for me to say what specifically it needs.

In the Ashlands I definately think there being a bit less desolate wasteland, a handful of oases would be nice. Maybe if we could make more contraptions with the gears?

[lone rampart]

You can make contraptions with the gears

My bad you said more. I’m illiterate today don’t talk to me 🤣

[soft path]

No worries.

[granite grail]

Probably just because there isn't yet an item that you get that gives you a legitimate thing to progress. Like Moder gives you artisan table, Yag the mist stuff, Queen the ship, etc. And that will arrive when Deep North is completed. So otherwise I don't really think anything is missing. I just wish I could grow the forageables like the Mistlands ones

[lone rampart]

That’s my thinking as well. The other biomes are simply areas you pass through towards the next goal, but currently Ashlands doesn’t have that finality

[soft path]

It's not just that. At least I don't think. It might just be a visual thing for me. The mountains and the Ashlands both are mostly vast empty plains.

[frozen void]

are they emptier than plains?

[sleek sky]

Mountains isnt very flat

[soft path]

Visually, I do think so. The plains has vast pillars of stone, golden grass highlighted with red flowers, tar pits acting as unmarked grave yards for centuries of the dead long forgotten. There are ancient stone henges, and birch forests.

The Ashlands has rocks and magma. The mountains have snow and rocks. It's just too much rock.

[sleek sky]

Plains is kinda just the goat

[soft path]

The lower levels of the mountains do have fir trees which is nice, but it doesn't feel like enough to me. The ashlands has charred black trees but only on the coasts. There are just too many large, flat, completely empty wastelands.

[frozen void]

plains before tar pits was quite empty, and also the final biome at the time

[sharp bluff]

ashlands at least has the decency to keep you distracted

[sleek sky]

I mean its supposed to be an empty barren wasteland

[soft path]

That feels like cope

It's supposed to be boring

[tacit crystal]

Plains is in good spot now that ||viles|| were added.

[sleek sky]

Viles are so cool

[soft path]

I like that there are large empty areas, I would want to keep that, I just think it's far too much and it would benefit from more life. I think a desert without an oasis is not worth wandering.

[shadow finch]

The issue with Plains for me personally is how long it takes to find the boss

[soft path]

That's a very common complaint

[shadow finch]

Went to 8 Plains biome before I found the boss vhegir which on the opposite side of the map

[soft path]

It's rough

[tacit crystal]

I loved to hear the reactions of my group when seeing one the first time lol.

[sleek sky]

Interesting thing i saw in a mod was adding tar pits to ashlands. I thought that was an interesting idea

[shadow finch]

I think the too long spend on the biome makes you view it more and more negatively

[frozen void]

yet smiffe downvoted my suggestion to fix this 😮‍💨

[sharp bluff]

yeah... its so common to see the boss arena itself before you find a vegvisir

[shadow finch]

well at least i have a full blackmetal chest of blackmetal from killing all the fullings

[gilded spruce]

my pc crashed after i destroyed a whole stone pillar in plain

[shadow finch]

god prepare you for Fader

[gilded spruce]

it was more than 10 stacks of stone 😭

fader was fine ngl

[shadow finch]

Faders ground spike move was too broken ngl

Although that was the only threating thing about him since his regular attacks did pierce or fire

[soft path]

The last thing the ashlands needs is more black in the landscape 😭

[shadow finch]

Funny how a swamp tier chestplate straight up counters the final boss of the game

[sleek sky]

Current

[soft path]

Sulfur springs would be sick, with some plant life around them. Love the coloration on the fiddleheads. Maybe some ash roses around them too, even if you can't pick them. Some nice red grass, and a few ash trees with red leaves. Vineberries growing on crumbling ruins...

Something that looks like red oleander would be awesome. It was the first flower to grow after the dropping of an atomic bomb on Heroshima. Life recovering from devestation and all that.

[static ruin]

i think the ashlands and deep north are both gonna suffer a bit from the fact they take up a whole continent their own

would be nice if both were to see a smidge of extra attention to 'sub biomes' to diversify them on account of it

[soft path]

Absolutely. As they take up so much space on the map, they really need to have more diversity inside them.

[shadow finch]

Deep North is suffering from the fact it ain't getting released

[merry pebble]

It will 😄

[shadow finch]

At this point the expectations are so high that I doubt that people will be satisfied

The more they wait to release it the higher the expectations

[static ruin]

i remember when people were saying the same about the mistlands

[soft path]

It's so much space for so little to exist in. Since the Ashlands has a similar amount of content as other biomes, but is such a concentrated land mass, it feels like less.

[static ruin]

when it was still a spoopy spider wasteland

[shadow finch]

Wasn't Mistlands and Ashlands before they got nerfed a hell?

[soft path]

Silk posting is universal.

[static ruin]

cant speak to ashlands because i was late to the party. but i dont think mistlands was bad at all when it first dropped

[soft path]

People's brains are universally fried from large studios spamming content. No one can wait for anything anymore.

[merry pebble]

Sadly ashlands were very nerfed

[queen wadi]

The ashlands does have sub biomes the shore/forest region magma fields and the inner wasteland

[soft path]

I feel bad for developers who need to deal with armies of children demaning candy now. I can only imagine how annoying it gets, and how it detracts from developer interactions with their community, you know?

[chrome badge]

Did you not see the #news about what Deep North does to other biomes as well?

[chrome badge]

You get used to disregarding it

[soft path]

I can only imagine that being said after a long, tired drag of a cigarette. Or since it's a swedish company after spitting out a wad of snus.

[chrome badge]

Then a whip of the trenchcoat cuts the camera to black and an early 2000's rock/metal song kicks in.

[static ruin]

not denying the existence of sub-biomes, every biome has some form of sub-biome built in, the point is more that theres a lot of extra ground - literally - for ashlands and deep north to cover, which can contribute to them feeling a little samey

[granite grail]

I honestly think Ashlands has a TON of debris and things in the way. It's very full I can't run like five feet without running into some kind of structure or into trees or into lava. The Mountains I would definitely say need more tho. After you get silver and whatever from the caves, there's no reason to go back

[soft path]

Past the coast, the Ashlands is all magma and rocks, I just want to see trees man. It's a superflat minecraft world! 😭

[static ruin]

Agree on mountains.

[soft path]

Rocks, boulders, molten rocks, and the occasional structure made out of rocks.

You look out at the ocean, what do you see? A handful of dead trees around you, and guess what? Pillars of rocks!

[static ruin]

Also still wish we could get a small ocean update to maybe pepper oddities in the ocean biome. Mini islands with treasure chests, maybe, just minor things to make the journey more exciting. I maintain that Valheim shines its brightest when you get caught up between point a and point b.

[soft path]

A varried color palette is just very important to me to make me want to keep looking at something. So many of the biomes are gorgeous, making fantastic wall papers. A bit more yellow and red in the ashlands, maybe blue with sulfur springs, and a bit more green and ice blue in the mountains would go a long way.

[granite grail]

Haha I do enjoy it when they happens.

Determined to sail straight to destination

Sees a brand new, unexplored land mass

....pitstop

[static ruin]

Mistlands is my favorite, visually, which is a major statement because by rights it should be the mountains or black forest, since I love fir forests and snow. It has incredible variety while still being a cohesive theme throughout, and all this in spite of the mist trying to hide it all from you.

[soft path]

One of the best moments in the game will always be finally climbing up a pillar in the mistslands and seeing the landscape sprawiling all around you, with peaks and shoots of trees peaking above the clouds below. It really feels like a place of magic. They did a great job with it.

I adore the mistlands in the rain, the chaotic purple lightning storms seeming like the sky is tearing itself apart.

I love the feeling of wandering through a forgotten world. Ancient structures reclaimed by nature, as revenants of a dead world struggle to maintain its remains. I never get that feeling in the Ashlands, it doesn't feel forgotten, it just feels destroyed.

[merry pebble]

In that case, it pretty much achieves the intended feeling i believe 😄

[regal cave]

It is destroyed, it used to be great. The fortresses are factions of warriors loyal to the corrupt emerald flame

[granite grail]

I think Swamp, Mistlands, and Ashlands used top be great and thriving lands

[regal cave]

Its hard to compare the 2 i was just feeling like i loved your feelings on mist but ash didnt need shots fired 😂😂

[soft path]

There is plant life, there are fiddle heads and mushrooms and vines, they're just so sparse! Centuries, maybe even millenia have passed. The lack of color and any life just feels so dissapointing. It doesn't just feel inhospitable, it feels desolate.

[static ruin]

well we were talking about how we kinda feel ashlands is missing something, initially

[regal cave]

Ur right, and I think the mistlands gets to shine for sure

[regal cave]

Oh ok im late ty

Maybe ash needs more mobs at higher spawn rates to make it feel more painful 🤔🤔😂😂

[frozen void]

no, bad!

[mild mason]

revert the change? It was nerfed at one point

[merry pebble]

Thats the magic fire for you 😄 apparently great at destroying and reforming stuff

[soft path]

Yes, more of that please! I like seeing things!

Everything worth looking at is just so sparse!

[merry pebble]

Well, the reforming part is mainly about the enemies, since they didnt die due to the flame keeping them alive, but twisted and charred

[static ruin]

so like yeah, the ashlands feels appropriately ravaged, but theres more to visual design than just being apropos, no?

tony mentioned yellows, oranges and maybe even blues in extremes - and i think the ashlands could use some of that, even if its not directly on the landscape

even if it doesnt necessarily add to the feeling that its a destroyed land, it would add to the visual wonder of the new land

like, even the black forest which is largely grey and green with some deep brown gets a splash of its post-processing blue and orange in the right time of day and it does wonders for how it feels being in the zone

[regal cave]

Do i need to make a video of me parrying marksman and twitchers and killing them with bronze buckler and a copper knife 😂.. IN A DRESS

[soft path]

I need my shot of whimsy beauty and wonder after a long journey of breathing in enough ash to sound like a dunmer.

i am bad

[regal cave]

I am worse

[tacit crystal]

Who is the worst then?

[static ruin]

wurst..

[regal cave]

<---- worst valheim player na

[frozen void]

i am still often facing multiple digits of mobs in ashlands

i fought a morgen and 2 valkyries at the same time today lol

[regal cave]

"I am bad" ya ok

[frozen void]

i had to remove 14 death markers after killing reto

[regal cave]

I died 4 times and lost my body "helping" someone do a frost cave

[static ruin]

did you have fun

[regal cave]

10/10 would do again

[static ruin]

having fun is the win condition, youre a gamer

[frozen void]

not in the moment, but afterwards

[soft path]

Ooh, piles of bent twisted weapons and armor would be a nice touch in the Ashlands as well. Really sells the idea of endless war.

[static ruin]

i was thinking about that a moment ago, strewn bones and worn gear

[frozen void]

Id be sad if more stuff was added to ashlands cause i went through it all this week on my forever world

[static ruin]

well if nothing else i hope they think about this stuff going into deep north

however applicable the ideas generally could be

[soft path]

Yes! Bones and iron. Piles of the dead choked by ash. I would love to see that effectively serve as fertilizer for the plant life of the biome. Like how all the fiddleheads and vineberries are found in ruins.

[frozen void]

The difference between adding to ashlands or deep north later is that eaflier biomes is more spread out

[soft path]

What?

[static ruin]

yeah i mentioned that earlier, that DN and Ashlands both kind of suffer from being consolidated on a larger landmass (at least i think this is what youre getting at)

[high coral]

can't find a proper swamp in my lands

[light moat]

More likely to explore a higher percentage of Ashlands/DN due to their smaller footprint.

[frozen void]

the resources are also scarce in ashlands

i'm pretty sure i've emptied every fortress on my world. i've spent 7 bloodstone(dyrnwyn, gemcutter, trollstav) 2 Iolite(nidhogg) and 0 jade. This is what I have left, doesnt seem all that much, especially if there's multiple players that want a few different weapons

[tacit crystal]

20 is the max limit of fortresses per world.

[frozen void]

yeah i didnt count them, but i didnt find one i didnt do

[regal cave]

I didnt say that

[tacit crystal]

I always mark fortresses so I can count them later.

[frozen void]

my point was just you need to clear most of them

[silk token]

my old gamer brain screams “valuable items should be rare!!!” if there are multiple people on a server yeah one gets the lightning sword one gets the green spear one gets the red bow, if there are lots and lots of people well lookit how cool those 3 people are.

[frozen void]

there's always dyrnwyn for that

[silk token]

but also hey DN would be cool to have rare gem POI’s or drops from whatever large mobs

ASSUMING the weapons arent just better and the gem weapons go in the obliterator

idk how you make better than lightning axes but we’ll see

[grave acorn]

Does anyone have any idea how to get silver in the frozen biom without freezing? I have wishbone but I keep dying and you need silver to make the cape I believe

[frozen void]

have you made meads?

frost resistance mead

[regal cave]

blood bags, thistle, honey, greydwarf eyes

[silk token]

or check your potion kettle for relevant recipes

[grave acorn]

Holy moly this is the best news ever

Thank you everyone, YouTube never really helped on this lol

[silk token]

OR. cuz ive done potionless, just pop a campfire down and rest and heal up every now and then, mine with a fire next to you, its all possible

[frozen void]

you could also luck out on a mountain dungeon, the chest piece from there gives frost resistance without costing silver

[silk token]

really fun when suddenly a blizzard hits and ohcrap i have to find shelter! lol, i want stuff like that in DN so bad

[tacit crystal]

For some reason when I started to think what kind of weapons DN might offer I've also started to assume there might be incoming nerfs to Ashlands weapons. Which I wouldn't mind.

[silk token]

hehe, possible. because for real like… “hey but THESE dual axes do 10 more base damage so… definitely craft them”

[tacit crystal]

Because both Iolite and Jade effects are busted.

DN weapons should do some crazy stuff to overcome those.

[silk token]

right but what, i cant even think of anything better. unless there are other options that are just different, and ashlands weapons are still “endgame”. just 3 more gems to put in flame metal weapons

or like.. theres a galdur table upgrade but honestly whats better than a flaming undead troll meteor

[tacit crystal]

Spear that returns to hand would be quite neat.

[silk token]

oooo i didnt think about that… different/enhanced secondary attacks. that would be worth putting down the iolite

[viral prairie]

Be careful, they could be giving us a hammer that does that.

[soft path]

I'm worried they won't be unique at all. They'll look cool and deal more damage. I'm not expecting much more than that.

[silk token]

a 2 hand hammer with a primary attack xD

[viral prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/thor-love-and-thunder-mjolnir-thor-thor-hammer-the-mighty-thor-gif-25431540

[silk token]

that would be so lame if they were similar,
like a lightning-ER sword

[viral prairie]

I just want the deep north so I can build my wall.

I’m walling off the deep north

https://tenor.com/view/game-of-thrones-got-credits-beggining-start-gif-3430998

[silk token]

cuz thats where the cold air comes from. smart. dont even need to beat the boss to stop the forever winter

[viral prairie]

😭😭😭

So I turned the Ashlands into homes somehow. Built within the ruins, they are hidden from the outside. So I’m going to turn the deep north into my kingdom

I’m apart of a 30+ player server and I intend on claiming it first on some tyrant shit

Build a massive wall

Build ballistas

[viral prairie]

I want to control the cold air brother

I will profit off the materials

I controlled the flow of flametal within our server I will control whatever @near furnace decides to add to the game😈

https://tenor.com/view/stonks-up-stongs-meme-stocks-gif-15715298

[tacit crystal]

We will never be worthy of holding Mjölnir.

[viral prairie]

One could hope

Beating the boss could give us it

[soft path]

Now I kind of wish the in game "cheat sledge" was called mjolnir.

[viral prairie]

That hammer is fucked up

[silk token]

but. it. is the boss thor?? how do we just get the legendary hammer??

its like i want odin’s eyepatch bro thats odin’s

[near furnace]

no and no and no

no thor
no legendary hammer (cheat sledge is a developer tool ingame)

[final bloom]

We tried a few things and in the end, working with ZenDragon we have the feature where when you carry more than one spear, the second one is auto-equipped if you throw the first one. Bit like how you see the goblins function in the plains. Only the thrower of the spear should be able to pick it up again using auto pickup.

[silk token]

good. i cant imagine how thor would be the boss and no you cant just have the man’s hammer

[sleek sky]

dev CONFIRMED the final DN weapon is cheat sledge

thanks smiffe for the spoiler 🫡

[viral prairie]

I don’t think that’s what he said

[sleek sky]

nah you gotta read between the lines

the lines are super blurry and hard to read, but you can if you between read enough

[merry pebble]

Sure, but not imagining what is not there 🙂

[sleek sky]

yeah im not imagining it, he defo said that

inc new wave of DN propaganda to the "DN when?" people

[silk token]

cant help but notice he said nothing about odin… hashtag iwasrightallalong XD

[rancid pebble]

Huh, I don't actually have to slay eikthyr.

[sinful coyote]

how

[merry pebble]

You can employ certain big blue friends to mine stuff for you 😄

[sinful coyote]

oh yeah right i forgot

[merry pebble]

The only boss you cant really circumvent in some way is Moder 😄
All others have some workarounds.

[sinful coyote]

whys that? i forgot i havent played in so long

[merry pebble]

Eikthyr - ||Trolls mine stuff for you.||
Elder - ||You can use chair trick to get into crypts.||
Bonemass - ||Stagbreaker or wooden sledge will reveal silver underground.||
Yagluth - ||You dont need the wisplight, its just easier to travel in mistlands with it.||
The Queen - ||You usually get at least to the first spikes by normal boat, from there you can jump.||

[tacit crystal]

||Artisan table||.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, you cant make most of the better stuff without that

[sinful coyote]

oh yeah thats all true, ty guys

ty for taking ur time to type that out so neatly lol

[soft path]

The one for bonemass works for the elder as well. Iron’s beneath the swamp in more places than one.

[sinful coyote]

yeah but very rare no?

[merry pebble]

Yeah, but its scarce and there is plenty of stuff that gives the same message in swamp

[sinful coyote]

yeah

even the trees do i think

[tacit crystal]

There are also other sources for iron than crypts, not just those rare piles under swamps grounds.

[viral prairie]

Where

[merry pebble]

||Oozers, frost caves, mistlands ancient armour and bridges||
-# Oops

[tacit crystal]

One can try ||breaking doors inside frost caves, they have chance to drop up to 2 smelted iron||, then there is ||sealed tower with both scrap iron and smelted iron sources.||

[viral prairie]

Is there another steady way to gather iron though. As sealed towers are somewhat rare and I feel like the swamp would be easier to navigate early game than the mountains.

[tacit crystal]

Not as steady way as crypts.

[viral prairie]

I understand those are definitely indisputable ways but they don’t seem as efficient

[tacit crystal]

||Sealed tower|| can provide nice amount of iron. Sure it is more risky since it is in plains.

[merry pebble]

Yeah, all the other ways are just extra since the topic was circumventing bosses/crypts 😄

[viral prairie]

@merry pebble this opened the door to the topic I was discussing.

[viral prairie]

DN this year?

[tacit crystal]

He won't tell.

[ripe walrus]

Lol the frulings just killed all of my boars.

They were gonna get butchered sooner or later ig

[soft path]

It's supposed to be "A big year for Valheim." We don't know. It's probably this year. It could be 2027. 🙁

[near furnace]

Yes big year! Coming both to Ps5 and switch 2 😎

[near furnace]

DN comes when DN is ready

[grand juniper]

They need to add an ozempic berry for my viking, hes flippin huge

[regal cave]

@silk token There is actually a spear that immediately returns when you miss 😏

[foggy glacier]

Anyone think it's worth reporting a bug that starred bears shrink back to normal size on death?

[merry pebble]

For sure worth it imo 😄

[silk token]

do they do that on normal too? i thought that was a thing that hard mobs did cuz they're larger

[foggy glacier]

I haven't noticed it with anything else.

[silk token]

you're more observant than me

ive definitely noticed bears shrink tho, just not other things NOT shrinking

[foggy glacier]

not many mobs like that though. Fulings I guess. Seekers and soldiers explode immediately so you don't see it.

greydwarves and trolls don't show visually larger.

[plucky hinge]

Oh man. I just killed The Elder. Started feeling cocky after and took out 2 bears.

[silk token]

huh. idk how but i never read this one runestone. it says the forsaken actually draw the world tree toward the tenth world which is causing "great storms and holy fires" in the other 9 worlds, and that's why specifically we're here, not just kill the powerful scary things but because the forsaken are destroying the other worlds by trying to rejoin the world tree

[foggy glacier]

Where's that one found?

[silk token]

black forest. idk how i never read it before

[regal cave]

#memes-and-clips message the ocean set is so busted it was honestly too easy

[silk token]

imean just taht you also killed in IN a boat...

next you have to ram a boss at least once and damage it

[storm sinew]

Wow Skoll and Hati is the goat, trying it for the first time and its upgraded to level 2, just shreds and easily block a seeker soldier attacks

100/10

[steel forge]

Love me some Skoll and Hati. Decided to try jotun bane after and was profoundly disappointed.

[storm sinew]

Also what a luck i had on my 1st infested mine, got like 10 black cores and 5 sealbreaker frag

[silk token]

its so bad lol. maybe just because they're pretending its an actual weapon with the poison damage and the descriptioni and the name but like come on...

[steel forge]

Yep was trying to keep axe and knife leveled this playthrough used that for one fight and was like ehhh I’ll wait for berserkers.

[silk token]

what about battleaxe??? 😭

[steel forge]

Didn’t try it admittedly got sucked in to wizard pew pew.

Shield is just too good for companions and tames

[silk token]

ugh, well maybe in the next life. magic is fun to do once. but nothing more satisfying than cleaving a horde of enemies in front of you

[jagged wind]

kinda found magic boring in Ashlands 😅

and the frustration that u cant even cast a single spell without food

[mild mason]

Nerf Ocean Biome

[high coral]

i'm looking for swamp in different regions and wondering if i'd achieve this faster if traversing on foot or using a boat (korva) and going along the coast

what's your exploration tactic ppl?

[light moat]

Definitely sailing around, might find tigers useful things as well.

[sleek sky]

my exploration tactic is [REDACTED]

[high coral]

it seems like less hassle but then it doesn't give any running xp and no items basically

[sleek sky]

can give serpent stuff and chitin

which are both useful ans valuable mid game

[high coral]

didn't see anything of that sort yet

[sleek sky]

the chitin spawns on leviathans which are crab island things in the middle of the ocean

serpents spawn at night or when its raining in the ocean

[high coral]

won't happen if i go along the coast ig

[sleek sky]

i mean you can sail in the ocean and use render distance to spot swamps

just gotta look for the dead brown trees

dont have to hug the coast necessarily

hugging the coast is better if you are trying to find traders, however

[high coral]

choices, didn't find any trader yet

[sleek sky]

hmm then id hug the coast probably

the traders are really really good, especially bog witch

hildir is uh, not very good imo. farming skill i guess

[high coral]

beggars can't be choosers

[sleek sky]

but they can beg for choices

[dull warren]

Damn, I decided to move a fire pit I had down to suppress growth spawns. The instant I removed it, BAM, 4 growths were on top of me

[steel mica]

She's nice if you're a builder

Just dont understand why iron pit cant be taken through regular portals

[final bloom]

Now, I’m aware this depends on the skill of the player, but in general terms is it faster to run up a whole bunch of stairs going around and around a mistlands rising stone pillar that is quite high, or would it be faster to build the dverger stairs and they go just as high, but in a small spiral form.
I can’t make up my mind if I go to the effort of stairs or just a very tall spiral staircase.
I worked it out and it’s about 40m high, so 10 sets of dverger stairs going full circle. 😵‍💫

[keen sinew]

Beans? 🫘

[lunar sapphire]

Did you mean to send that here?

[placid rapids]

Of course I did

[chrome badge]

So you meant to post nonsense?

[regal cave]

I dont think that was nonsense just not valheim lol

[chrome badge]

That's also part of the definition of nonsense. Foolish behavior with unimportant out of context information.

[regal cave]

It wasn't foolish, its bee facts, just in the wrong channel.

[placid rapids]

If you cant make sense of whats presented then i truly feel sorry for you

[chrome badge]

Yeah, it seems you think nonsense means doesn't make sense, where it can also just be no different than randomly stating, "bananas are yellow!" whilst not being anywhere related to the topic at hand.

🌈 The more you know.

[placid rapids]

The bees are happy

[high coral]

do enemies ever attack portals?

i suppose that entities don't exist if too far away and thus can't do anything to a portal that i stepped through?

how big is a bubble around the player where things are active, or how does it work

[frozen void]

areas stay loaded for afew seconds after you leave

[high coral]

so in theory a troll could smash a portal as i was stepping into it

otherwise it's completely safe to leave it standing anywhere

[tacit crystal]

With bad luck, yes.

[hushed niche]

As long as you vacate the area ASAP. Any aggro'd mob will attack it if you are nearby.

[lunar sapphire]

Usually if you die near your portal out in the wild, the enemies will then aggro any player-placed objects whilst your respawning process takes place

[high coral]

even if very far away from the location?

[lunar sapphire]

nah, you'd have to be nearby for player structures to be attacked

[high coral]

portaling around is kinda cheesy, isn't it?

have items in inventory to build crafting station and a portal and you cna sleep in your homebase at any point

[hushed niche]

They can, yes. Once when I was fighting the Queen a Gjall destroyed my portal, that was on the Queen's "porch". was killed, but when I went to the portal is was inactive. So then I had to dress in spare kit and sail a boat all the way back to the Queen's lair where I found the destroyed portal and the Gjall still lingering there.

[high coral]

well if you didn't die you could just rebuild it

it's some sort of sanity check

[lunar sapphire]

If you didn't slip you could just save the hospital fees

what

[high coral]

if chicken didn't cross the road it could be still alive

is there some sort of challenge in game that makes portal less forgiving?

[lunar sapphire]

There's a world modifier for portals yep

don't allow portals, normal use, portal ores around without the ||ashlands portal neccessary||

[high coral]

need to check it out then

checking the version number, i see that it's pretty low still. What stuff is under work?

[lunar sapphire]

Deep North is the next major update and with that comes Valheim reaching 1.0

aka out of Early Access. You can read about all the information revealed in the #news channel

[high coral]

so 0.22 is misleading when it comes to the state of the game

[frozen void]

why?

0.221.12 probably means like 221 major builds before 1.0

[high coral]

i'd expect it slowly reaching 1 and then be finished but there's obviously other ways to mark it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[tacit crystal]

IIRC Smiffe said version numbers don't really matter.

[strange cradle]

Version numbers in software development totally do not matter a thing, beyond that they get bigger. You can jump from 0.221.12 to 1.0 in one update.

They're just versioning control, so devs know what is what.

Automated versioning software use these numbers to manage large software projects.

[gilded spruce]

i saw a person in black hoodie is this herobrine chat 😭

[tacit crystal]

It is your employer, following up for your progress.

[near furnace]

correct

[near furnace]

could be like 0.95 or 0.99 🤷

[weary egret]

As an example i think minecraft went from 0.9 to 0.10 or smth like that and then 0.11

Even tho 0.10 is smaller than 0.9

[dawn basin]

Imagine if the devs added a schizophrenia update 😂 when you played for 5+ hours with no break you will start to see mobs appearing and disappearing just to mess with you
