valheim-chat

[dull warren]

yep I've done that after sailing for half an hour or so and realizing I forgot the stuff to make a portal

[prime moth]

but now I never forget 🧠

[chrome badge]

Wanting less reasons to explore Valheim is a bit confusing for me, but we all don't want the same things from Valheim. I might've broken the habit of such things by the time I got into Valheim, but I was surely guilty of hopping into creative mode in Minecraft when I couldn't be bothered.

[regal cave]

Runs dead 🗣

[prime moth]

f

[dull warren]

eh, spawning in mats because I forgot to take a few isn't really taking away from the exploration, it would just be sailing half an hour each way down a path I've already explored. It just saves me an hour IRL.

[chrome badge]

Oh I was referring to when you were using fly to look for a swamp specifically.

The other things, not so confusing for me haha

[dull warren]

That wasn't me? Cuz I would agree, that would definitely degrade a key point of the game to me

[chrome badge]

Sorry, I got users mixed up, my fault.

[dull warren]

You're fired.

[chrome badge]

Time to update that resume.

[dull warren]

Also, the gjalls are some of the coolest monsters I've ever seen in a videogame

[chrome badge]

Yeah, I accidentally set one loose above the plains, Fulings were not happy with me.

[static ruin]

i love bringing new players with me to mistlands because the reactions to their first gjall attack are always top notch

the mistlands are just so good all around

[dull warren]

Aside from the mist that prevents you from actually enjoying the scenery

[prime moth]

it makes it that much cooler when you find a mistless spot

[deft brook]

Hmmmmm

[dull warren]

true

[deft brook]

Take me

Also I’m upset by there not being a bear cloak you can craft

[chrome badge]

Yet!

Who knows what may show up. 😅

[prime moth]

so is the 1.0 and switch release not tied together? i guess that must just be speculation

[deft brook]

Hopefully it’ll be an alternative to the wolf cloak

[deft brook]

There’s going to be a heh?!

[chrome badge]

It's difficult to say, but we may get some more news at the PCGamingShow happening soon!

[opal prairie]

On a pancake or if you really want to be fancy:
get some vanilla icecream, biscoff crumbs and strawberry jam.
Make some strawberry quenelles and freeze them, melt some chocolat and dip the quenelle in it and freeze again.
Shape icecream around it.
freeze that, roll the icecream in eggwhites and then in the biscoff crumbs and freeze again and repeat 2 more times.
Deep fry for like 20 ish seconds so the biscoff is crunchy and a bit of the ice goes soft.

[chrome badge]

Here's the post on X for reference: https://x.com/pcgamer/status/2056759464230011350

[static ruin]

starting to think you really like sweets

[prime moth]

my son continues to ask me daily when it comes out on switch lol

[deft brook]

Cool

[opal prairie]

I really like cooking and experimenting with food and I've gone trough a desert phase and strawberries were heavily featured.

[frozen void]

Aw, like a true valheim discord user

[dull warren]

I cooked banana flowers for the first time last week, and now I want banana flowers in survivalcraft games lol

[chrome badge]

I've never even heard of those, where are they from?

[plucky hinge]

Pretty sure they're from bananas.

[dull warren]

Everywhere bananas are from I would assume

[opal prairie]

From the banana plant, used in lots of asian cuisine.

[chrome badge]

Ah, I'll admit I've only just recently started eating Thai and Korean food, so good. 👌

[plucky hinge]

Thai yellow curry ... yum.

[dull warren]

https://gardenbetty.com/banana-flower/ is a really good post about them, they're rather labour intensive to clean, and taste reminiscent of artichokes

[frozen void]

Imo i dont think well get a concrete release date on the 7th. I dont think theyve given release dates way ahead of time sfter launching early access, because theyve had the freedom of not having to be bound by something like that due to their success.

Becahse of this i think theyd only give a vague time like sinter or fall 2026, or a short term release date. But a short term would be in june, and i dont think they wanna drop it fight before going on vacation and having a month of no bug fixes.

[static ruin]

i like baking but i dont trust myself with any other manner of food creation

i can survive but it aint pretty

[mild mason]

I'm predicting 1.0 release to be November 11th 2026

[chrome badge]

It's difficult to say, release dates, especially console ports-- typically have time constraints anyways, because you do need to pay for those services.

Publishers have a timeframe in mind most of the time as well.

[dull warren]

Yeah and Coffee Stain is generally pretty transparent about them in my experience

[frozen void]

Theyve already said ps5 for 2026 but that that doesnt mean 1.0 in 2026

[chrome badge]

Oh, trust me I know, I tell people that same thing verbatim maybe once a week since the ps5 announcement. 😅

[plucky hinge]

I lurve to cook. Happy I've unlocked some more recipes in Valheim, too.

[chrome badge]

I've not experienced a Coffee Stain release myself, but I have done some research and that looks to be the case.

[dull warren]

5000 hours in Satisfactory here

At least a third of which was afk, to be fair

[chrome badge]

I only have 5000 hours in games I've developed myself, that's a LOT.

[frozen void]

Yeah, could get concrete port release date, but i doubt concrete 1.0 release date

[chrome badge]

Totally fair, my wife says I'm dangerously optimistic, and knowing that only fuels me. 🙂

[static ruin]

has there been any word on whether or not the deep north will get any world gen changes? i kinda figure they want to avoid it, but i would like it if it were more of a contiguous continent

especially with it being the last* place

[chrome badge]

As in, changes to what we're already seeing in-game?

[frozen void]

Any time they add any new locations the world gen changes, so not sure what you mean specifically

[static ruin]

right now its a bunch of (very large, like main continents in the rest of the world) islands i just think itd be neat if it were more like antarctica in shape

[chrome badge]

Ah, yes it will be quite different to what we're seeing now.

[dire jackal]

Like a big island? Antarctica is just a big island like Australia.

[static ruin]

correct

[chrome badge]

There have even been teasers of ||a Deep North effect spreading to other biomes.||

[dull warren]

Yeah, it would be nice if there were multiple options for world/continent generation, like the way Civilization does it

[dire jackal]

I concur. That would be neat.

[prime moth]

holy 14 cores in one crypt

[dull warren]

My last mine was MASSIVE and had one core

Got lots of carapace out of it though

[static ruin]

bout to be one heavy viking

[prime moth]

atgir my beloved incoming

[merry pebble]

Not that we know off, devs didnt say it will, we know that both PS and Switch2 releases will be in 2026, but also no clue if they will be tied together or not. Oh, and they also continue reminding us that PS does allow early access titles so that we dont automatically tie 1.0 to PS release. 🙂

[prime moth]

thank you!

[marble fable]

just bought the game today should i play vanilla or instantly mod it?

[merry pebble]

Why would you mod it if you dont know what vanilla is like? 🙂

[frozen void]

The game wouldnt be so successful if you needed to mod it

[merry pebble]

I would recommend doing at least one full plythrough before deciding if you want to change something via mods that you cant using vanilla tools

[static ruin]

it was a long time before i felt like i wanted to mod the game, its a full experience from the start

[frozen void]

2k hours, still no mods. Might try some sometime after 1.0

[static ruin]

i tried a couple modpacks and didnt really stick with anything yet, so itll probably be post-1.0 that i give it a real shake for mods

[viral prairie]

If 1.0

Jkjk

I sit in my room every night and ponder what 1.0 will be like

[frozen void]

Cold

[marble fable]

seasonality mod that adds all four seasons to it. spring, summer, fall and winter

[merry pebble]

Not needed imho

[viral prairie]

I wonder if it’ll just feel like the mountains

[static ruin]

but there is indeed a mod for that

[viral prairie]

Is there a new type of cold

[frozen void]

Probably more flat

[merry pebble]

A lot less hilly from the teasers we have seen 😄

[viral prairie]

Hmmmm

[frozen void]

From the teasers ive seen the atmosphere is feels like a mix of black forest and plains

But cold

[prime moth]

scarier

i am scared

12 more cores so nevermind

i am warm and happy

[tacit crystal]

Plus meadows, due to ||abandoned villages||.

[plucky hinge]

Isn't today World Bee Day? 🐝

Ahhh yes. "Bee Together" for people and the planet.

[queen wadi]

The European honey bee has done almost as much damage to the American ecosystem as the earthworm

[plucky hinge]

Invaders.

[static ruin]

the honey bee conundrum is a really complex (and interesting) one

easy to fall down a rabbit hole on that

[plucky hinge]

I hate falling down rabbit holes when I'm mowing the yard.

[static ruin]

especially full of honey bees

[plucky hinge]

...or whatever those bees were that had a nest in the ground that one time and stung me over 100 times. I have bee trauma that I'm trying to get over in adulthood by helping pollinators and stuff. I'm glad the bees are happy in my Valheim hive, at least.

[queen wadi]

Bumble bees usually are ground nesters

[static ruin]

ground hornets are terrifying and single minded sometimes

watching them swarm something is like the same kind of scary as watching fire ants climb someones leg, you know that shi hurts

[prime moth]

man i'm glad to be playing again

gonna go so slow this time

[static ruin]

the most fun i had playing solo was 250 days in and i hadnt even killed the elder

idk, i was just out there building villages and whatnot, and i really had a good time

[prime moth]

that definitely where it's at

and by no mapping it i really wanna make tons of structures to help me navigate

[static ruin]

i should do that for my next playthrough, no map sounds like fun but its hard to get my friends on board with it and i kinda wanna play with them

[prime moth]

its a lot of fun but very different

i like that it forces you to really carefully navigate and know exactly where you are / where you are trying to go

feels a lot more adventurous to me

but in a group of friends it might just be a hurdle and cause more tension / issues than people want to commit to

[plucky hinge]

I think I'm on day 372 and also only just barely killed the Elder and found swamps.

[prime moth]

i think around 400 i was on the ashlands last time lol

[prime moth]

maybe ill go the knives route this time

always just feels bad when i dont find the abyssal razor though

[queen wadi]

Na you want to go battleaxe and fist

[prime moth]

I’m too adjusted to parrying everything

i guess i could roll and stun

[steel forge]

Usually a Levi somewhere around starter island

[dim python]

fists are good at parry

[civic moon]

Heyo. Haven't played in a hot minute did vanilla last time I was round wonderin if anyone has info on the mod scene? Still active? Nexus vs Thunderstore? Stuff like that

[static ruin]

still active, though maybe not as active as youre used to if you play a bunch of games like this

that said, plenty of stuff to choose from including mod packs on thunderstore through r2

[civic moon]

Not really. Only survival crafting I've done is this and minecraft. Was debating getting Subnautica 1 right now or another one but figured I'd give valheim another go

Also how is thunderstore? Never used it and always stuck to nexus but last time I asked here most people said nexus mods aren't really up to date or maintained

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion will have the most up to date info very likely 😄

[civic moon]

oh

theres channels below the voice channels

[silk token]

only early, their block armor is the same on plains claws as it is on bf claws because reasons idk

[dim python]

righto i forgrot #u#

[manic peak]

Hello, I just recently joined this group in hopes of finding/making friends to play with. I’ve completed one solo play through! Would love to experience this game with other players. Please add me if you’re interested!

[silk token]

your little faces make me giggle

[merry pebble]

Welcome 😄 you can also look in and make a post in #1024264966712340510 if you want to

[plucky hinge]

Ok. This sucks. I thought I'd found some clever info to keep myself and my base safe, but a troll just came and turned it into matchsticks. -_-

[silk token]

you can parry a lot with battleaxe too if applicable, tho it mostly likes to chop

[civic moon]

BTW is performance still a problem when building really large bases? Or has that been optimized a bit? Remember last time I played it was kind of an issue

[dark coyote]

mountains have the smallest raid pool, my trick is to make an island base with a portal hub, nothing will spawn in water.

[plucky hinge]

In Black Forest now.

[merry pebble]

Not nearly as much as it used to be, most performance drops in early days was from terraforming and thats pretty much gone 🙂
If you plan to have gigantic bases you will have pretty much always some fps drops due to sheer number of instances tho

[dark coyote]

best biome for an island base, just need a lot of stone.

[civic moon]

ahh yeah i think that was the issue i ran into. Flattened an absolutely massive piece of land

[merry pebble]

That should be really ok to do now 😄 so no worries

[civic moon]

Add gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1 as a new line to the very top.
Add gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1 right below the first line.
Know anything about these though? Just browsing through reddit and saw this for improvements

[merry pebble]

No idea 🤷‍♂️

[scarlet fossil]

you can add them to the steam launch args as -gfx-enable-gfx-jobs -gfx-enable-native-jobs instead of editing game files. then you can easily compare with and without them

[civic moon]

Yeah I saw that figured I'd give it a try was just wondering if people had good experience with it

Thanks for the info tho!

[plucky hinge]

Do people build up fill with the Raise Ground on an island / stone spot?

[dark coyote]

I do

[granite grail]

I've never discovered a trader on my own man, good grief. We just did the first boss, and already all traders have been found

[static ruin]

sometimes you do have to get on an island to get into the radius,

and schrodinger's trader locations are and arent until youve sniffed em out so

[blissful zinc]

Small update on Longhouse Listings since I shared it here earlier:
I added the first 11 real listings using my own Valheim builds, and Google sign-in is now live so people can submit their own bases for review.
The Reddit post got some good feedback if anyone wants the context or wants to add thoughts there:
https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1thatii/i_made_a_parody_realestate_site_for_valheim_bases/
Site is here:
https://longhouselistings.com
Still alpha, but I’d love to get more builder feedback and hopefully start adding community-submitted bases.

[static ruin]

oh yeah, good time for me to take a look at that now

[high coral]

Don't worry about island base, just build a moat around your base

Nothing will get in

And even from my humble experience, using atgeir on trolls is a sure-fire way to kill them

[blissful zinc]

you inspired the google link. hopefully that's a step foward. love to know your thoughts.

[static ruin]

i like the concept a lot, i like the darkwood background but some of the icons feel a little rough against it, would be nice to see them made in much the same way the emblem top-left is
a little unfortunate youve used ai to fill in some space now but i saw you said you dont want to keep any of that on the site so i wont harp on about it
curious what LMV stands for, feels like i surely looked over it somewhere, and also curious if you plan to do anything 'beyond the bit' like sharing world files or PlanBuild stuff (i have not messed with said mod so i dont actually know much about how sharing works)

[dull warren]

Awesome site, thanks for the contribution

[blissful zinc]

@static ruin so LMV is just Longhouse Market Value. I've setup a weight of the items I've allowed to be selected as a price so it can all be quantified.
Agree with the icons, glad you like the main one spent a lot of time on that one lol.
As for the ai did you check it out today? Got rid of the listings before and made some of my own from my own playthroughs. I definitely want to do more 'beyond the bit' that is why I am sharing it now. trying to figure out what that next piece is taht the community wants.
thanks for the feedback

[dull warren]

It would be great as a blueprint sharing site for people using blueprint mods

lol people could schedule open houses and shit

[blissful zinc]

lol that's what I was thinking. have a way to setup showings

also want to add a component piece to it. so instead of whole listings you can search individual parts like walls, stairs, bridges and stuff like that as like an inspiration catalogue.

[dull warren]

haha a "commercial" listings service

Or a furniture store

[blissful zinc]

yes! I like that furniture store. cool if I workshop ideas off that?

[dull warren]

of course, why else would I suggest it

A Viking Ikea

[blissful zinc]

lmao that's gold

my main concept is a viking zillow so...

vikea

[dull warren]

https://tenor.com/r4eA.gif

Not bad, 10 cores out of that mine

[prime moth]

lets gooooo

[dull warren]

And another wooden greatsword to add to the collection 😆

[prime moth]

it was by sheer coincidence i found a wooden knife one playthrough

[dull warren]

pretty sure I have one

I'm keeping all the wooden weapons I find and using them as wall decorations

yup

#screenshots message

[high coral]

Setups like this beg for a sort stacks from inventory to nearby chests

[dull warren]

Yeah I have quick stack/store/sort/restock and craft from containers installed

[high coral]

Like how neatly you've done it, but the overall building as well

[dull warren]

I adapted a build from youtube

[high coral]

When I build it's mostly a spartan rural house and it's fascinating what can be done with the tools at hand

[dull warren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEHSvESWUS8&list=PLIJ2gWXV7b05syGXrWsRmwR9VialZNWs0&index=9 this one

Which became this #building-screenshots message

I was going for a Scout Camp vibe

[high coral]

Got a handy video for nice shore base with a pier?

Or perhaps just a dock for longboat

I value efficiency not just style

Seen plenty videos that were too impractical to build

Unless using free building that is

Oh nvm

I can just add a dock and something to it

[tranquil sorrel]

Handy tip I wish I knew earlier. As a dad gamer I'm lucky if I get 2 hrs a week to play. Got my 1st home base set up, defeated the 1st boss and done one dungeon and got 4 surtling cores for 1 klin. Progress took nearly a month 😅 played last night and realised you can increase the drop rate. Nothing crazy just put up to 1.5 so when I pickup 1 shroom I get 2. So a fair trade of for not being able to play that long and of course I can change it back when I feel the need to 👍 way better experience and the grind feels less stressed

[wraith belfry]

I never even noticed that
Lol
Would have been handy for me as I am also a time poor dad gamer.

[opal prairie]

Yeah, same here.
Though I would like more individual sliders for resources.
Like I don't want to get 2 surtling, black cores or boss items.
Double food items or wood and such, things that you constantly need the whole game through.
Now doubling those would be nice.

[tranquil sorrel]

Ah yea man, big help with the grind especially in the bronze age and loke I said if ye feel that it's getting to easy ye can always dial it back. Think it can only be done in the start game menu not sure if you can adjust in game

[opal prairie]

If you are in a game and want to change it you'll need to use the console and devcommands.
Else only with the world settings before you get into a world.

[wraith belfry]

Well Im just going into the iron age atm.
Just unlocked the stone cutter. Oml, not i can build a BASE! 🤣
Another way to save a LOT of time is to turn off the setting that blocks you from taking metals through basic portals.

[tranquil sorrel]

Never made it to the iron age. Years ago my gaming laptop up and died on me. But this time I will have my castle 😅

[tranquil sorrel]

Yea. Think that's why I wanna switch it back when it comes to Valuable resources. Getting 8 Surtling cores from one dungeon is a bit much. It's designed in a way to encourage you to explore more, risk reward. For the liked for Food, building materials I think it's ok for the short time I've got to play. Sliders is a great idea

[opal prairie]

Some dungeons will give 8 even at setting 1 and finding such a dungeon is cool and a wow this was a nice dungeon moment but if all of them are like that or finding one that gives like 20 of those cores is silly in my opinion.
Though ones you are in the swamp and find a surtling spawner those cores roll in pretty fast.

[rancid pebble]

... I am low key bothered by 10 ingots of copper, and 5 ingots of tin, becoming 5 ingots of bronze

A hundred arbitrary weight units just evaporated into the aether

Peers into the smelter to see where the rest of the matter went.

[opal prairie]

I see I'm not alone in this, I think either the weight of tin and copper needs to be lower or bronze higher, maybe give 2 bronze for each 2 copper and 1 tin.
Something to make the math makes sense.
Then again we are in the afterlife with magic all around us, math doesn't have to make sense.

[nocturne wolf]

most of the bronze items need less bars than other metals so it doesn't really matter. the arrows are very expensive though

[final bloom]

Generally in most smelting operations (in the real world also) there is a lot of impurities that get burned away and leave you with less overall than you started with

[rancid pebble]

... in ingots though..?

Anyho, finally got knarr, so can move materials a bit easier now

This starter island has a giant inner lake that can facilitate movement.

[final bloom]

One ton of gold ore in general after smelting yields a few grams of pure gold with the impurities taken away

[rancid pebble]

You keep saying ore, - I am saying ingots.

[wraith belfry]

This is my second attempt at a playthrough too. My first one was ages ago. And j never got to the iron age because I went with a random seed, and it placed the elder soooooooo far away from spawn I just never got to kill him.

So I never got my swamp key

[paper marsh]

Imma be real with you champ, he's often gonna be pretty far away

[opal prairie]

Whilte that is true, if you take 20kg of processed copper and mix in 10kg of processed tin, with both already having their impurities removed, you aren't left with only 10kg of bronze.

[paper marsh]

Game really makes you travel a lot to get to bosses or biomes with the materials for progression in them

[wraith belfry]

Well this time around i used the seed generator to pick a seed where he was closer. 😋

[rancid pebble]

It's not a big deal, I understand the... game balance reasoning behind it. - I am just alarmed when I mix one part juice concentrate with 9 parts water and end up with 1 part drinkable juice.

[wraith belfry]

Once I started playing im not ever gunna look at the seed again. And rely on the fact my memory is so shit I won't remember where anything else is.
And its worked. 🤣 🤣

[rancid pebble]

Unless you have a Fuling inside the smelter stealing two thirds of the bronze.

[opal prairie]

let's not start about how much food a dead viking consumes, a whole chicken with sides, a whole loaf of bread and 10kg of sea serpent all in one setting for example.

[rancid pebble]

American portion size.

[wraith belfry]

Games always do that sorta stuff.
Make stuff magically appear and disappear for balancing.
You learn just to not ask where it all goes.

🤣

[plucky rock]

[paper marsh]

hot potato hot potato

who's got th- OUCH THAT'S HOT

[rancid pebble]

While I am complaining about minorly things, - hugin suddenly remembering he is a bird in later Hugin tips is oddly jarring.

[plucky rock]

hugh loves to spawn in my path and block my way as im running

[rancid pebble]

I thought it was his brother Munin for a moment

[tranquil sorrel]

Not gonna make the same mistake and thought the raft was a good idea. Longboats all the way this time

[paper marsh]

Don't quote me on this but I think Hugin saved my life one time

Draugr archer shot at me and hugin appeared between us, tanking the arrow (and disappearing)

At least it looked like that

[wraith belfry]

Lol

[rancid pebble]

If he had those odd vocal tics in earlier tool-tips I probably would not even noticed, but they just beginning happening around Mistlands and now it sticks out in my head every time I see new tips added.

[paper marsh]

I've started to enjoy using some of the new swimming equipment to bypass the need for a boat on some short ocean journeys

[wraith belfry]

I was beating on a graydwarf the other day and a seagull flew between us. I hit the bird and it exploded (as they do)
It scared the shit out of me.

[dusky lagoon]

s

[paper marsh]

Saw someone accidentally kill a seagull with a fishing rod one time

[rancid pebble]

IMHO: Give Munin the "kraa-caws" and keep Hugh legible.

[wraith belfry]

I like Hugin.
I wish he'd hang around. So we could chat.

[opal prairie]

Bye for now peeps, got someone following me around to get a taste of what I do in a day.
He also wants to work for the police like I do and I can't really show me procrastinating now can I?

[wraith belfry]

Lol.
Haze him.

[paper marsh]

Introduce him to Valheim

[granite grail]

I is happy. I found a huge continent with Plains, Mountains, Swamp, Black Forest, and lots of Meadows. I have my stonecutter. Let the base building begin XD

[high coral]

what exactly means no boss portals? as long as a boss lives i can't use portals?

or is it only portals in vicinity of a boss?

[strange cradle]

You can't use any portals.

And you can't leave "dungeons".

[paper marsh]

While a boss is alive you can't use ANY portals, I believe

Prevents you from just hopping back and forth in a portal during a boss fight or leaving a fight unfinished

[tacit crystal]

I believe it would be in the area where the boss is active.
Otherwise if you died during boss fight you couldn't use the portal to return the fight.

Haven't used that setting so not 100% sure.

[paper marsh]

I would assume that's the point, but idk

I've done a playthrough with boss portals but I never died or otherwise left a boss fight anyways, so it didn't impact me

[high coral]

this was my concern as well

[rancid pebble]

So you can lock some poor shmuck inside a burial mound by summoning eikthyr while they're looking for surtr cores?

[strange cradle]

Well... boss dungeons, that is.

Not sure if that would work for regular burial mounds.

[past ferry]

Heya, havent played in almost 2 years and trying to avoid spoilers. Started a hardcore no map run and encountered my first bear, scared as hell :D
Anyways, my question is, which mod would i use for neat farming, hate to manually do those rows and want smth like farming mod, but without the skill as vanilla has farming skill on its own now.

[strange cradle]

I would check the mod discussion forum.

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202550198174486599

[past ferry]

It says mod issues and I dont have issues :D

[strange cradle]

Well. That's what we got here. 😄

[merry pebble]

Then #mods-discussion 😄

[strange cradle]

https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202934289898151966

Yeah... Sorry. Just found it.

[tacit crystal]

There is one boss that is fought inside dungeon interior area. Which would mean you couldn't exit that area while the boss fight is going on.

#valheim-help message

[rancid pebble]

Ah, so a specific boss. Not any boss.

I mean, that'd be kind of silly otherwise

Unrelated: I wish Troll caves were deeper.

You hear these stories of the troll king and his opulent halls but apparently 99% of Valheim trolls are peasant bums.

[merry pebble]

What troll king?

We do have goblin king, his name is Yagluth. 🤔

[rancid pebble]

Not valheim canon, but trolls are generally depicted as staunch royalists and monarchists in folklore and media

[merry pebble]

Nah, trolls just go smash

how do you get large quantities of stone?

[merry pebble]

Just joking mostly, but it has the benefit of giving you both copper and stone. You can mine the big rocks in black forests that look like copper nodes, or you can go to plains and mine the big stone pillars there 🙂

[rancid pebble]

I just pick a fight with a Greydwarf nest

Slowly building a ring of palisades and campfires around the nest, using bits of greydwarf

[opal prairie]

I make a whole spawner farm out of it, dig a hole around and under it, get some wolves in there and a wolf breeder near so you can replenish if they die and just put myself somewhere safe nearby and go do something else for a while.

[rancid pebble]

Yikes

[opal prairie]

Come back to heaps and heaps of stone, wood, eyes, dandelions.
Plus a bunch of other not as useful stuff to turn into coal.

[high coral]

don't have any spawner nearby so that won't do, nor wolfs

[silk token]

if you’re gathering massive stone amounts for some massive stone castle my advice is “dont” because you’ll just get more stone later the more you play and much easier ways to get it. start with a piece of it now and add on, or stone base with wood walls on top or something, if for massive stone walls use wood and add stone later, etc

[high coral]

not really a massive stone castle but a fair a advice

i will start with stone floor

[rancid pebble]

When mining copper, whenever a greydwarf falls into the pit, do you switch to a weapon to clear the blockage or...

Just... keep mining. Until it sprays sap.

[celest tangle]

Setting up a server with mods if anyone's interested

[high coral]

a bit of sap on the pickaxe makes it smash better

[opal prairie]

Depends on how annoying it is being, if it is at a distance and throwing rocks, pushing me from my target I'll shoot an arrow between its glowing eyes, if it is melee range and not pushing me from my target I'll keep mining.

[sly robin]

Finger like rocks in plains are a good source and silver veins

[rancid pebble]

Been meaning to build something using one of those finger rocks as a foundation but uh

I am a practical person

Having a palace that touches the sky would take forever to move around in

Bedroom, kitchen, workshop, storage, I am content

[high coral]

how do i level ground properly, sometimes there's ugly bumps when raising ground and then no matter what i do it stays like that

[regal cave]

Use ur pickaxe and u need to raise spots to level it sometimes

[high coral]

that's what i did but it stayed like that after leveling it

[regal cave]

Takes some practice tbh if you keep your camera as flat as u can u can see the little bumps to hit out with your pick

[frozen void]

you can only raise and lower 8 meters from original heigh, is that he case?

[steel forge]

Also If you’re raising earth walls they only stay straight in the cardinal directions I believe and a couple of the in betweens.

[high coral]

i was only trying to level ground according to a stone floor

then had there a slight hill so put there a stone wall to make a garden that would be on another level but it's difficult to make the edges from mining straight

in the end i added another line of floor to cover the edges

[paper marsh]

Ive never put much effort into getting ground perfectly level, but I have made quite a few bases. And not once have I gotten ground that wasn’t at least somewhat bumpy

Was never rly an issue tho

[ivory wind]

what is the multiplayer scaling like? my friend said its 10% enemy HP for every person on the server

[nocturne wolf]

30% more health and 4% more damage for up to 5 nearby players

[bright kiln]

Oh my... I just looked into what our new friend abbot is. It has som serious dangers

[iron viper]

is this map already released? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScPTAG49Q8A

[tacit crystal]

Probably you could join the Discord server found in video info and ask there.

[iron viper]

sounds valid, thanks

[toxic lintel]

what is the mod called, with what i can plant normal bushes? And where can i donwload it?

[merry pebble]

Folks in #mods-discussion will know 🙂

[toxic lintel]

alr, ty

[strange cradle]

Plant Everything

[hexed latch]

hello guys if we just look at the performance which is better troll or bear armor? im getting ready to fight the elder then i will go to swamp

@strange cradle

[prime moth]

i like the bear outfit but i know lots of people like the troll outfit too

[hexed latch]

im just asking which is better the thing which one is easier to max out donest matter for me

[prime moth]

mmmm it has varied for me, just depends on rng for which i run into more often

[paper marsh]

Depends, generally I’d say troll might be easier to max out. But I’d say bear armor overall is stronger

Can always mix and match depending on what drops you end up getting. The bonus for a full troll armor set is kinda useless. The bonus for full bear is really good but also a bit risky

[hexed latch]

how about head of bear and rest of troll?

[thin elbow]

I just do troll head and rest bear

[hexed latch]

litteraly opposite

[desert timber]

I'm looking for someone to play Valheim with, who speaks Spanish because I don't speak English jeje

[spark plover]

try #1024264966712340510

[thin elbow]

Bear trophy can be hard to get for helmet, and pieces of bear have more armor than troll

[hexed latch]

i have his head actually

[desert timber]

Ohh okok thanks you ^^

[thin elbow]

Even then rather make bronze pendant from the bear trophy

[hexed latch]

i have FULL troll armor now level 2 everything and i could just switch the troll head with bear one? @thin elbow i seems to be most reasonable option for me

[hexed latch]

huh what is it

[spark plover]

did you ever find a ruby in a burial chamber?

[thin elbow]

Meh if you already have full troll armor just stick with it

[hexed latch]

a lot

[tacit crystal]

Trinket that is craftable at forge.

[spark plover]

then you should have it unlocked

[hexed latch]

u sure? im not very good its my second gameplay

[thin elbow]

A small, extra amount of armor doesn’t do much, better to learn how to parry/dodge

Armor is a crutch

[tacit crystal]

Troll armor is good enough. Bear armor set has nice bonus for stamina regen and extra slash damage but you take little more damage while the armor set effect is on.

[high coral]

25% can be quite a difference

[strange cradle]

Troll armor is good enough for Elder and first foray into swamps.

[paper marsh]

Sounds good. What the mix is doesnt rly matter, head, body, and legs all do the same for those armors

[strange cradle]

If you pair lvl 3 troll armor with a lvl 2 bone shield, the Elder can't touch you and you can block most enemies in the swamp.

[tacit crystal]

It's not that huge at early game against smaller fries.
During plains it might be little more significant.

[paper marsh]

I was surprised how I felt no difference with the 25%. I expected it to be game changing

And that was on hard too, where the effect is (effectively) stronger

[nocturne wolf]

In hard it will be closer to a 25% increase to final damage than it is normally.

With 33 armor (bear set level 3) against 48 base damage (normal difficulty draugr) you will take 17.45 damage
With the weakness, you'll take 27.27 damage, 156% of 17.45

In hard difficulty the draugr will be dealing 72 damage, so that's 39 damage without weakness and 57 damage with weakness. 57 is 146% of 39

[paper marsh]

Mhm, meaning bear armor makes a bigger damage difference (in straight damage numbers, not %) on hard vs normal.

Normal it adds 10 damage, hard it adds 18 (if I read that right)

[fierce vine]

Hey guys, is there any projected date for the Deep north to release?

[frozen void]

no

[fierce vine]

Gotcha

[sweet pelican]

they are going to have a big announcment 9 june , im betting both my testicles they are going to release the game then. If they dont i will be a danger for myself

[static ruin]

ill take that bet

surely those sell for a lot

[frozen void]

i'll take that bet too, since pc gaming show is on the 7th

[lone rampart]

I’d take that bet but I don’t want the prize 😖

[granite grail]

I saw that viking 😭 💀

[sweet pelican]

same!

[regal cave]

Im not ashamed. It's just not valheim chat ❤️

[frozen void]

i can still see it

[static ruin]

💀

[granite grail]

I need to cleanse my brain 💀

[sweet pelican]

no fun allowed 🙁

[lone rampart]

You called?

[near furnace]

somone called

[plucky hinge]

Kittens?

[sleek sky]

Lizard

[plucky hinge]

OK, that was an awesome test. I had a fetid smell from the swamp, and I just stayed inside my new base the whole time. The earthen berms all around did their job nicely. But now that I have that set up, what's the best way to get up and out that won't get smashed?

Hm, maybe embed a door somehow? Would that even work?

[regal cave]

stake walls are op. u can use the mid snapping point to lower them into the ground, making it impossible for mobs to pass but u can just hop over, the inside of the piece also has a little ledge that you can use with like 1 stamina to jump over

[plucky hinge]

Worth a shot.

I was just fending off a wandering troll.
#screenshots message

He ran away into the ocean.

[dim python]

what are dverger stakewalls made of?

[regal cave]

iron and ygg wood

[dim python]

darn #n#

[regal cave]

n probably souls when they make them

[barren whale]

i'm excited for whatever announcement is on 6/7

[static ruin]

coffee mugs

[plucky hinge]

Harvested my first gucksack. Icky.

[glass nova]

anyone looking to add a viking to their server?

[merry pebble]

Look in #1024264966712340510 😄 you can also make a post there

[glass nova]

i did havent gotten any responsees yet lol

me and a buddy have a server but he shut it down for right now cause somehow a random got in we dont know how lol

[merry pebble]

It can take a few hours or in some cases days 😄 since this is international server not everyone is in the same timezone.
-# Its 0:21 am for me now for example xD

[glass nova]

true

says i need a tag to post in that server channel

[merry pebble]

You need to put in one of the tags from the channel i believe. Like Vanilla, Looking for group, Valheim server, etc

[glass nova]

yea i figured it out lol facepalm

[dark coyote]

🤔 what was the rando's name?

[glass nova]

the traveler

[dark coyote]

😆 k, it wasn't me then

[tranquil sorrel]

When you kill your frist bear and not using arrows

[celest tangle]

I killed one with a flint knife earlier 💀

[dim python]

try with flint axe

[celest tangle]

Nah im good 😂

It was hard enough with the knife

[dim python]

it's easier with axe

bears are strong versus pierce, half of *knife's damage

[celest tangle]

Is it actually?

Dang

[dim python]

knife deals 50/50 slash pierce

[celest tangle]

Ohh haven't played this game in years, just made a server to play on since this community is more active then project zomboids

[tiny path]

yo guys i have a world where im at the mistlands relatively close to fighting the queen - but i am hella bored with it, w/ all my friends quiting the world + the seed isnt all that great. Should i go make another world or should I play it out?

[static ruin]

whats wrong with the seed

[light moat]

I’d play it out. For me, it’s normal for worlds to stagnate at times, but if I keep pushing through then I end up really enjoying it.

Happens to me in Valheim… Minecraft, Terraria, Stardew, etc. perseverance is key 🔑

With that being said, if you’re just flat out having a miserable time, start anew or play a different game

[silk token]

dam you just said like all my games. next you're gonna say project zomboid

[light moat]

I actually did play that for a little bit! But got too busy with life and had to put it down 🫡

[silk token]

ah life, the bane of video games

[dull warren]

niiize, level 3 pufferfish, I can't catch those fuckers with anything more than 2m of line out

[final bloom]

Is throwing a puffer fish at a dverger so it dies without triggering anger considered a cheese or legit?
I would consider eitr cheese but jury is out on puffer fish given what they do normally and you could trap dvergers in puffer fish traps and they die, so… ? I know we all make our own rules but just asking for what some others think too

[dull warren]

I wouldn't call that cheesing, it would be akin to throwing live bees at a human, they'd have no idea where it came from, and therefore no idea who to attack in response

But I suppose if it's a dvergr town, it would make sense that someone else would see you

[plucky hinge]

I was an MMO player, but started getting into survival exploration crafting stuff. No Man's Sky first, then Nightingale, then um...Once Human. All different flavours.

This is kinda tough.

[dull warren]

That level 3 puffer is going on my trophy wall. THere was a level 4 in that bay but I couldn't reel it in

[static ruin]

i dont consider it cheese either but...

if someone threw one or the other at me id hope i could at least deduce who it was in an otherwise empty forest based on direction

or the fact theres only one tallfolk nearby

[silk token]

there is far worse cheese

[light moat]

Eh, I consider it cheese- but it’s also really clever and everyone should play how they want

[dull warren]

Hey I wonder if I could get to the top of a dverger tower, push them all down, and then drop puffers to the bottom...

That would be kinda cheesy

[silk token]

imean i push them all together as much as i can then battleaxe them all at once, is that less cheesy than pufferfish? 🤷‍♂️

[dull warren]

Nah that I can explain easilly enough, it's a sneak attack

[final bloom]

Interesting tactic

[light moat]

Gonna have to consult the cheese council on this one

[silk token]

summon the council!

oh they all cheesed the meeting so they dont have to show up

[dull warren]

Would make for an interesting reddit straw poll

[feral terrace]

Game kinda gets me hard when I see the Raven after staring a new world lowk

[final bloom]

You must really like ravens

[steel mica]

You dont see em often in later biomes so yeah kind of nostalgic

Seeing them again

[tiny path]

Yeah lowk I just got bored with the Mistlands so I've decided to put on my fenris set and explore the whole world w/ it

Might just start focusing on building cool stuff and leave progression off the table for a bit

[rancid pebble]

Oh neat, my crafting procced a extra arrow while making arrows

.. Now I have a singular arrow because all the other arrow stacks are full.

This fills me with such OCD coded rage you would not believe.

[sly verge]

Queen down! First time ever

[dull warren]

wtf ballistas target ME?

That's just fuckin stupid

[final bloom]

Yeah sometimes they get onto a targeting striek

“What should they target by default?”
“Well Valheim tries to kill you whenever possible, so…”
“Yep, done.”

[dull warren]

I mean, sure, but they're functionally useless as a base defense

Maybe decent for gjalls though

Or hare hunting

But that's probably it

[sweet pagoda]

do floors not count as a roof for workbenches?

[dull warren]

Not wooden floors, no

[static ruin]

ive traveled back in time

feel like i havent seen this complaint in years

valid though

[dull warren]

lol yea I just read through some threads on it

[sweet pagoda]

the combat in this game almost feels easy after playing so many souls games

I also just discovered a very easy way to train combat stats: hitting Hugin will actually train your stats, and he just respawns for you to hit him again

[static ruin]

chat does he know

[sweet pagoda]

I must not

[analog hearth]

I was cooking meads when ballistas shot me at the back

it was quite a funny first impression

[dull warren]

Yeah it's funny once, but then I just deleted them all

[static ruin]

theres some stuff you can to do make it a little less annoying

[sweet pagoda]

If something has, say 6 slash and 6 thrust damage, does each attack do 12 total damage, assuming no resistances?

[rancid pebble]

You try programming a functioning FoF system out of greydwarf brains and dverger runes.

... actually can't you hang the head of the creature you want targeted on the ballistae?

Or did I just dream that

[static ruin]

yeah thats one of the ways

you can also wall it in such a way and place them so that they cover places you dont loiter much

i dont really use them much

[high coral]

Correct

[rancid pebble]

Which is why fire arrows are pretty amazing

(I use them as flares)

[static ruin]

thats one way to describe them

[rancid pebble]

They're dirt cheap and sets things on fire. What more can one ask for

Now, if it's raining constantly, less useful

[sweet pagoda]

I'm on my like third run now since my first one I ragequit after setting foot in the swamp for 30 seconds without placing a base of any kind nearby, and my second run because my starting island didn't even have 5 cores on it

[static ruin]

just not my preferred way to spend a feather i suppose

[sweet pagoda]

I find fire arrows pretty good honestly

[static ruin]

i would call them alright

by the time im getting obsidian, which is surprisingly early, i dont bother - but i do suppose most players arent fishing for obsidian before bonemass like i do

[paper marsh]

Probably not most, but I think going to mountains before Bonemass, or skipping him entirely, actually happens a lot

[analog hearth]

I am always out of feathers 😔

[sweet pagoda]

Honestly the melee combat is so much more fun than the ranged, I only ever use bows for hunting deer

[shadow finch]

Bow just doesn't have that adrenaline that the melee combat gives

It's too safe

[sweet pagoda]

Also the parry and counterhit sounds are some of the best ones in the game, rivaled possibly by the forge repair sound

[shadow finch]

ngl I played 95% of the game with no sound lol

[sweet pagoda]

You're missing out, the music is great

[shadow finch]

I just put on some music and play like that

Idk i just do it with every video game so it's become a norm

[sweet pagoda]

I only do it if the video game has little music on its own

[shadow finch]

Valid

[final bloom]

Yep I carry a crossbow for a first shot from behind or a snipe and then knives out, light armour only.

[glad sundial]

Troll or fenris?

[final bloom]

Troll then fenris then askvin

[glad sundial]

Or askvin with the himinafl

We need a knife

[final bloom]

I upgrade knives as I go along with light armour as mentioned and crossbow. Keep moving, have a round shield also because parry is fun and knives can’t always block stuff.
Duel wielding knives and light armour is super fun.

[deft brook]

You can dual wield???

[tacit crystal]

There are some dual wield weapons in later biomes.

Also one recently added in meadows.

[deft brook]

Neat

[tacit crystal]

They technically count as one 2h weapon but act like dual wielded, you can't use 2 different 1h weapons at the same time.

[deft brook]

dang..

[paper marsh]

Dual wield weapons are so much fun

I love fist weapons

[deft brook]

Is there only one fist weapon or are there more

[tacit crystal]

There are more than one.

[deft brook]

I only knew of the bear paws what are the others

[tacit crystal]

Flesh rippers (mountains) and Vilebone maulclaws (plains).

[deft brook]

Neat

[tacit crystal]

Skilled player can use them even in later biomes quite effectively, they are pretty strong when used right.

[deft brook]

Neat

[shadow finch]

If I don't see a fist weapon in the Deep North I am gonna be pretty dissapointed

[paper marsh]

Same

genuinely holding out hope that Deep North will have one of each weapon skill category

[shadow finch]

NEW ATGIER

[paper marsh]

Though I also hope we don't get more weapon gaps filled in current biomes

[shadow finch]

Why not?

I thought more options would be better

[paper marsh]

I like that the game pushes you to try different playstyles

I find it kinda sad that after meadows, you can just make a sword in every biome and never diversify, and be just fine because all biomes (other than meadows and ocean) have 1-2 swords and slash damage is great against most enemies

[shadow finch]

Exactly why I am a sword main

Although I only started with swords in the Plains

Since Frostner was the most overglazed weapon but I only realized it only in the Plains

[paper marsh]

Took me a few years, but I'm starting to warm up to swords

Still hate maces

I would never go through a playthrough with just 1 weapon though. I usually try to main like 5-7ish weapon skill types, to keep the gameplay fresh

[shadow finch]

Maces are just a pain to use

they have too much kb so you can't even combo enemies properly

They are too defensive for my liking and lack offense

[paper marsh]

Only thing I like is that they do a lot of stagger damage

But fists/battleaxes/atgeir do just as much or more, and feel better to use (ok personally I don't use atgeir, but fist/BA is my jam)

[shadow finch]

Doing a kick with fist weapons is so underrated

Also battleaxe secondary suits it nicely since you can use it to start a combo

Atgeir secondary is just straight up op, no enemy it can't stun besides like starred soldiers or morgens

[tacit crystal]

Himminafl is great against Morgen due to the lightning damage.

[shadow finch]

Sorta? Since it's resistant to pierce as well and the pierce does 85 while the lighning does 58

[tacit crystal]

Morgen are weak to lightning.

[shadow finch]

Ik that but it's resistance against pierce which the Himminafl has more than the lighning

[tacit crystal]

And lightning damage adds stagger.

[shadow finch]

so technically it would be doing less damage than it would if it was neutral to both

[tacit crystal]

It deals slightly better damage than others at same tier that deal purely physical damage.

[shadow finch]

That's true

[tacit crystal]

Although I like to fight them with Skol & Hati.

You can time full primary hit combo between parries.

[shadow finch]

i just use lighing axes

They die in 3-5 seconds

[shadow finch]

thats nice most weaponds don't got time for a full combo

[paper marsh]

lightning axes are super nice damage

Lately I've been liking 1h-swords better for general gameplay though for the better parry power

A bit sad I no longer get 10 adrenaline on parries, but also understandable

[shadow finch]

Swords secondary + parry is probably the fastest way to kill most things

Or just the sword secondary in general

the 3x damage is bonkers

[paper marsh]

Starting Ashlands with a silver sword does feel like damn good damage to me, with barely any stamina cost

[shadow finch]

I don't like the spirit damage

I just don't like damage over time in general

[paper marsh]

Spirit damage does suck a bit in that it's delayed and doesn't stagger

But if I can kill enemies in 1 hit, even if it takes 1 second for them to fizzle out to their death I'll take it

Will definitely upgrade to thundering nidhogg once I can

[shadow finch]

Why not make mistwalker?

It can 2 shot with its regular attacks instantly

I'd prefer that over the silver sword

[paper marsh]

A bit lower damage if irrc, I could always just barely 1 shot warriors with silver, but not with mistwalker

On Hard with mediocre sword skill bc I don't use swords much until ashlands

[shadow finch]

irrc?

[static ruin]

i know its pedantic but i laughed at 2 shot and instantly

[paper marsh]

If I Remember Correctly

[shadow finch]

I emphasized that cause killing after 2 hits instntly and killing after 2 hits and sizzle over time with spirit damage is different

[static ruin]

ye thats fair

[paper marsh]

Mistwalker is also kind of expensive. Eitr and Iron

Silver sword is expensive but silver is very easy to get, and by making silver sword early I can at least get some sword skill going by using it on geirhaffa and yag

[static ruin]

i like dot it scratches a weird itch in my lizard brain

[shadow finch]

Fair enough

[tacit crystal]

Last playthrough I used limited weapon types and non enchanted flametal weapons, which were Berserkir axes and Splitnir. Plus Skol & Hati.

[paper marsh]

Idk why, but my lizard brain is all in on loving one, big, damage number. Love snipers and chargeup attacks and all that stuff

Hate DOT, machineguns, etc.

That said I've learned to move past that and go for whatever playstyle seems fun and engaging

[shadow finch]

I hate DOT mostly because while it's dying it can still attack me

[static ruin]

give you time to style on the haters before they die of cringe

[shadow finch]

Ngl I killed one too many chared to care about that

I forgot the countless bones thrown into the obliterator

At this point the obliterator is my source of fuel instead of the Kilin

[paper marsh]

I always feel bad trashing stuff, so then I end up just having it pile up and giving me more headaches to deal with 😔

[rain flare]

The frost damage though
Slows enemies and claps some good dot as well

[tranquil sorrel]

Convinced myself that Valheim will be a game in my retirement. My time old folks in retirement homes had Bingo, bridge, or shuffle board. By the time I'll be in a retirement home I'll be playing Valheim 😅
*Nurse- time for meds.
*Me- no I'm OK, I'm full on berry's and dear meat.
*Nurse- we better up his dosages

[agile star]

By the time 1.0 is released you might be retired yes

[static ruin]

elder scrolls 7 will be in production

[agile star]

Gta 10

But seriously jokes aside, the game is fantastic I got 1300 hours on it but Damm if it was a bit faster with 1.0 it would be better. Oh well, all we can do is wait

[chrome badge]

That's odd considering the average wait time is 5 months between large content drops. Full release is the only update to push that timeframe.

[agile star]

Last year I finished the ashlands and prepared tons of food, arrows and increased all my skills to 100 for the Deep North

[tranquil sorrel]

Ah don't get me wrong 😅 I actually have a list of games I'm going to play when I have time. Tis the life of a gamer dad. No time. Im currently playing here and there and haven't really experienced anything past the bronze age 😬 so have a long time to catch up

[merry pebble]

-# Average is 8 months

[chrome badge]

Last I checked it was a 5 month average between content drops. You love trying to correct me. 😅

Between 5-6 months

[long geyser]

I've just started the game, does anyone have any pointers? - I'm just before the stage of beating the 2nd boss

[merry pebble]

I did check the dates of content drops some time ago during another debate 🤔 unless my math is wrong (and it totally can be) it should be 6, 9, 8, 9, 5 and 11 month gaps

That is for:
September 16th 2021 - H&H
March 1st 2022 - Frost Caves
December 6th 2022 - Mistlands
August 19th 2023 - Hildir's Request
May 14th 2024 - Ashlands
October 29th 2024 - The Bog Witch
September 9th 2025 - Call to Arms

[chrome badge]

Ah, I am not necessarily speaking of just those updates, and more to just updates that drop content.

[frozen void]

Listen to the bird, pick up everything you find

Oh missed the 2nd boss lol

Have you made the cauldron and mead ketill?

[long geyser]

mead ketil?

definitely made the cauldron tho

oh wait no its the other way around

[merry pebble]

Which ones would that add? Honestly interested, not trying to correct you or anything 😅
Would you count the april fools update that added rocky for example? 🤔
The 5Y anniversary update would be added most likely.

[frozen void]

Need to make both, as well as fermenter. Planted carrots?

[long geyser]

where would I find carrots? I've yet to see any

[frozen void]

Carrot seeds are white flowers in black forest

Planting 1 seed gives 1 carrot, replanting 1 carrot gives 3 seeds

So you wanna multiply them a bit first

[chrome badge]

I count anything beyond patching a handful of fixes. It's all content and just as important when speaking to how quickly valheim is being developed.

[long geyser]

oho I see. also what should I do if the 2nd boss is over water. I'm pretty worried about there being sea serpents tho theyre rare

[frozen void]

If you have a karve serpents shoild be no problem

[long geyser]

alright thanks man. the help means a lot

[tacit crystal]

Serpents ||spawn only during night and/or rain||.

[long geyser]

good pointer. Thanks

[agile star]

If you have a fine wood bow and some decent bow skill you can kill them np even with wooden arrows

[long geyser]

ill keep that it mind thanks too

[storm sinew]

What are the chances of the ||flametal ore vein|| to not sink? First time being able to mine the whole thing

[nocturne wolf]

1% chance to sink per hit

[storm sinew]

Ok, i was lucky it didnt sink, because everytime i get like 3-4 pieces of the ore, i was always looking at the thing if its gonna rumble and go back down

[merry pebble]

The best thing you can do is to not stop mining as long as you can 🙂
If its gonna sink then its gonna sink, but at least you will not be wasting any time

[storm sinew]

Oh didn't know about that, good thing i didn't stop till i get all of it 🙂

[spark plover]

There's also a cheese, ||if you go through a portal fast enough when it starts sinking, it resets it so you can continue mining||

[frozen void]

Logging out does the same

[abstract warren]

Why do we lose the rested bonus upon logout

Is it on purpose

[abstract warren]

I discovered that by being greedy and dying because of not stepping off in time lol

[merry pebble]

You loose all status effects upon log out, not only rested. Tbh i dont remember right now why it is, but i believe there was an explanation.

[silk token]

pretty sure ive seen smiffe say it was an anti-cheese measure, same for potions

[abstract warren]

How is it anti cheese

[frozen void]

Logging out with poison is cheese lol

[merry pebble]

Or tarred when fighting growths 😄

[abstract warren]

Wym? Don't we lose the poison effect on logout as well...?

[merry pebble]

Thats why it is a cheese 😄 you are no longer poisoned

[silk token]

dont quote me cuz this is my old brain memory, but i remember him saying it helps remove the practice of logging out, healing up in a different world, logging back in with full hp and also rested and potion buffs still in place

[abstract warren]

Yeah... So my question is still same.... Why do we lose all these effects when logging out

How is it anti-cheese

[merry pebble]

That might be it 🤔 i do remember something along those lines too

[abstract warren]

Just keep all effects, positive and negative

[silk token]

because you can at any moment log into a different world, sit down, heal to full, and rejoin the old world with full hp and all positive effects

[abstract warren]

That makes no sense. We can anyway just logout to a world with top tier gear and resources and take them to the other so it doesn't change much. Except for the inconvenience of having to rest and take the same potions again after relog.

[silk token]

which you can still cheese and do but at least without rested and potion buffs

[abstract warren]

I just don't think it does much of so-called anti-cheese more than just being impractical

[paper marsh]

I think I get why it is removed, but I'd agree with it being better if all status effects / buffs were not removed on logout

[silk token]

imean yeah technically its… idk. yeah you can deccommand max items and stats and just not have rested buff when you log in lol

i have lots of devcommand feelings, but i know they’re necessary to sometimes legit fix worlds

ideally the game would be in a state where devcommands are only for cheating and you can only do them in a creative mode world or something

although once cheater tags and achievements and such are in place, the resting removal thing will be more of a deal because people will be able to cheat less without being marked with the mark of shame

but its also who cares, its a steam achievement. people will still cheat and mod and whatever. what people do in their own home behind closed doors…

[dull warren]

downloads "Enable Achievements" mod immediately after 1.0 releases

[merry pebble]

I dont understand people who use mods or exploits for achievements, what is even even the point of them at that point?
The only situation i can sort of understand it is when game is older and for some reason certain achievements become impossible to get. There i can see why somebody might want to get those if they already did all the ones they actually can.

[silk token]

lol a mod that makes achievements pop up like you earned them even if youre a cheater, thats hilarious i bet someone would make that

[silk token]

these are the people who played duckhunt with the gun pressed against the tv screen

[lone rampart]

Heyyy…I did that 🤣

[dull warren]

I attached a rifle scope to the light gun. Is that cheating?

[lone rampart]

I was also like, 4.

[tacit crystal]

Doubt someone will do it so mods like Subject or Hyper could do that.

[silk token]

ima make a new jeff foxworthy inspired routine. “if you played duckhunt with the gun against the screen, you maht use dev commands”

[dull warren]

"If you put a real scope on your fake Ninendo gun, yah maht be a redneck..."

[silk token]

“if you know the gamegenie code for infinite lives by heart, you maht use devcommands”

[regal cave]

When I was little I got a gameshark, plugged it in and typed, "all guns put together" as a cheat for goldeneye. Didnt work.

[frozen void]

You have earned the achievement "Waste My Time"!

[barren whale]

you can set your forsaken power to brimstone in another world why does any of this matter lmfao

[dull warren]

Besides which, cheating is subjective generally anyway. I have the gamma turned up in the crypts because they're so dark, the game is literally unplayable for me inside them. The eye strain is too much for me, even with the circlet or wisplight or torches.

is that cheating?

[barren whale]

having fun is cheating
you're robbing everyone else of their hard-earned suffering

[dull warren]

👆 this man Valheims

[dim python]

i wouldn't be a gamer if i didn't enjoy suffering

[dull warren]

I suppose you could make the argument that turning the gamma up for darkness is a handicap, not a cheat.

Now, here and there I just get sick of the darkness (especially at night IRL) and just devcommand the weather to clear. That, I would call cheating

[silk token]

ultimately its a single player game with optional coop with people you deem trusted likeminded friends so it really doesnt matter, tho it would be nice it the lives of people trying to host worlds was a little easier

[dull warren]

The issue I think is that the game has some decent PvP potential

[dim python]

i've hosted my world plenty without issue

okay that's not 100% true.

if my network is bad the other player gets kicked

[soft path]

“You’ve got rough hands. You’ve got rough hands brother. Never touched a pc in your god damn life… I’m over here gaming 25 hours a mother fucking day. You’ve got rough hands.”

[silk token]

connections have to get way better for real pvp to happen

[dim python]

i did dream about this discord

[dull warren]

Wouldn't know, I've only played solo

[soft path]

I don’t know how to feel about that

[dull warren]

But I can see the potential for some interesting tower defense PvP

haha imagine trophies tied to player ID, so you could get a Striek trophy, that makes ballistae only target ME

[dim python]

[silk token]

combat would have to change somewhat, parrying would be too easy since theres only 2 ways a person could attack with a weapon and no penalty for missing a parry. it would be 2 people staring at each other waiting to parry

[frozen void]

Id tie all my ballistas to Striek

[dull warren]

Well I'm not sure actual PvP combat would work with this system, but a king of the hill/capture the flag mode probably would

[dim python]

spamming parry happened in high level ds2 pvp

[silk token]

yeah but at least you had light, heavy, rolling, running, there were ways to mixup and punish a failed parry, in valheim a failed parry is just a block or a re-parry immediately after

[abstract warren]

Why don't we have a button to cancel a shot with the bow

[dull warren]

We do, RMB

[abstract warren]

Oops my bad

[maiden blade]

can someone give me 5silver ingots or ore and 2iron ingots or ore

[dull warren]

I only figured it out by accident when my middle finger twitched and cancelled a shot, or I wouldn't have known either

[barren whale]

following up parries isn't particularly clean either
pvp in this game is a total non starter bc of netcode unfortunately

[oak river]

Not really. The pvp in this game isn't fun

It generally boils down to nobody attacking because your both waiting to parry eachother

[abstract warren]

Just press F5 and type devcommands then spawn silverbar 999 and spawn iron 999

[maiden blade]

oh

i enjoy breaking random meadow rocks for building material

[shadow finch]

[dim python]

over the fire too long, turned into coal?

[chrome badge]

You called us chat like a streamer, pretty cooked I'd say 😅

[paper marsh]

Kate is a streamer

[silk token]

id say your love for frostner is worse than cosy resource collection 😜

[shadow finch]

Frostner most overglazed weapon in Valheim

At this point people been brainwashed to belive it's the best in the game

[paper marsh]

I dunno if I’d say brainwashed. It has some positive qualities that most other weapons don’t

It’s just preference, but I too am surprised at the amount of hype over it

[shadow finch]

it's bad in it's own biome, gets outlcassed in the Plains, and Mistwalker is fully superior in the Mistlands

[regal cave]

Weeny hut Jr hammer

[paper marsh]

True, those are some of the downsides

Biggest downside for me is just the annoying knockback

[regal cave]

Yeah i came to bonk with a hammer not make space

[silk token]

takes 4 hits to kill a goblin, 2 hits with a porcupine

[regal cave]

3 with a knife

[shadow finch]

knocking back the enemy is a HUGE downfall

[silk token]

leaping stab, poke poke

[regal cave]

Most of the time 2 poke is stagger and third hit strong hit does the crit

[shadow finch]

you leaping stab, miss the fulling and hit the 2 star berserker instead

Happened once, not a good experience

[silk token]

or that, i like leap to stagger and 2 crits after too, used to knife gobbies all the time when plains was endgame

[paper marsh]

Upsides of Frostner is that…

it’s viable (not the BEST, but viable) in 2-3 biomes after it’s made. Saving you resources and allowing you to continue with maces even when they skip a 1h version in mistlands

Has big knock back and frost slowing (if you’re into that)

Look cool

Terrible weapon for me, but I can understand why some might like it

[silk token]

its like… the melee version of kiting with frost arrows

[regal cave]

Stunning them would make more sense since ur knocking the daylights out of them but thats a primal thing and imo kinda op for mt

They could "freeze"

[cold ocean]

Good morning everyone from Los Angeles

[silk token]

hehe, like a cold stagger bar? so much cold damage and enemies freeze briefly?? thats kind sweet actually

[prime moth]

move frostner to black forge 🧠

[silk token]

should have poison bar, spirit bar, etc

[regal cave]

At x stacks apply brief stun

Idk which is better

[silk token]

ya, or just a stacking slow

idk it would still mean things die 2x slower zzzzzzzzzzzzz no thanks

[regal cave]

Stacking slow that becomes a stun where they freeze and u do more dmg because theyre icy and u break the stacks to 0 😂

[chilly sphinx]

Hello, is valheim getting a split screen when do comes out on the ps5?

[dim python]

i don't love frostner i just like it like marge simpson liked her potatoes

[chilly sphinx]

Like local multi-player

[merry pebble]

We dont know sadly

[dim python]

my brother was asking about split screen valheim last night

had to tell him it probably isn't coming 😔

[tacit crystal]

Split screen probably won't come. Game is either solo or co-op multiplayer which requires internet connection.

[silk token]

oh a shelf?

[dim python]

shelf own :B

[dim python]

i didn't actually watch much simpsons, did marge keep potatos on a shelf

[dim python]

i just think frostner is neat

[paper marsh]

Frostner is neat

It’s got Mjolnir vibes

[inland wraith]

Does anyone know if there is a possibility to have multiple initial starter-spawns?

[merry pebble]

As in the big circle with sacrificial stones?

[inland wraith]

Exactly.

[merry pebble]

No

You can spawn more using commands. But never naturally.

[inland wraith]

Was interested in splitting our circle of friends and having them colonize their own area... Could have been fun 😊

[maiden blade]

can i join

[merry pebble]

I mean. You can do that i guess. But you will have to be careful with the placement of the circle since it cant be removed, even with commands.

[inland wraith]

The hopes were on: select one of X starter areas -> that's yours from that day you joined; cannot choose others past that choice.
Make your way through the world, without knowing who and where more people might be.

[maiden blade]

ok

dm the info so i can join

oO

haloo

@inland wraith

[paper marsh]

Thats a fun idea!

[maiden blade]

can you respond

[inland wraith]

yes. Not setting anything up today.
was just asking IF this is even possible in the first place.
once I figured out how to realize this idea, I might make a post in the server section

[midnight hornet]

What is there to find in the Plains except dark metal and berries?

[shadow finch]

Tar

[midnight hornet]

Where does one viking find tar?

[shadow finch]

Tar pits after you clear them out

Also wheat and flax are super usefull as well

[inland wraith]

beware the enemies in the tarpit
nasty creatures

[midnight hornet]

I see, I never really dared go into camps, they seem very powerful. Any tips on how to go against them?

[frozen void]

Pick them off one by one

Or bring the mobs from tar pits over

[midnight hornet]

Im not sure at this point I know how to identify the tar pits but I guess ill find out 🤷‍♂️

[mild mason]

For Growth Blobs, try to get a sneak attack with Huntsman Bow (Spear is sketchy because I think it could get stuck in the black tar) If engaged in close combat with a Growth, try to dodge roll your way behind it, so it can't attack you, rotating it in circles while you bludgeon it.

For villages, Huntsman Bow down the Shamans, then crowd control the Fulings with either an Atgeir, 2H Axe, or bombs

[prime moth]

frost arrow the big dudes too if you like

[mild mason]

Eikthyr is very helpful for these villages, too

[mild mason]

Agreed, and even fire arrows on the growth blobs, since they're weak to fire

[maiden blade]

can someone plz

[steel forge]

If you get really lucky you may get a you’re being hunted raid in a village then you get entertained as well as clearing out the village.

[strange cradle]

I'm learning to appreciate Krom. It's blocking power is pretty good. So I can use it to demolish seeker soldiers pretty quickly.

[mild mason]

@dawn basin you can use iron beams to support him on the legs, so that you dont even need raised ground

[prime moth]

aquired 😎

i was a digus though and used my iron on a chest peice and a hat

now im out of iron and i forgot i can just make the root set for those spots and it'd have been way more useful

[static ruin]

i love krom

[strange cradle]

Yeah. It's definitely growing on me.

If it weren't so hugely expensive to make, though. 😉

[near furnace]

@vast moth english only please

[paper marsh]

singlewield 2h melee weapons tend to have pretty good block/parry

Sadly can't say quite the same for the dual wields

[prime moth]

got too overzealous and died to a draugr spawner 😭

1 star archer and 2 star normal guy, few skeletons

they just dots'd me

[paper marsh]

Time to run it back

[prime moth]

yep

SLOWER

i will say lv 3 bronze atgir stunned everything with the spec though, which was nice

even a 1 star elite

only reason i died was the arrows .... gotta not mess up next time, i need to make the root harnusk asap

[shrewd garnet]

Gosh dang pointy stick been strong for too long

since 398000 BCE

[steel forge]

Pole arms are nice. I find myself gravitating more to knives every playthrough though. Fast swing and recover if you have good parry timing.

[sleek sky]

🤨

[prime moth]

maybe i'll give those a go again

i made a copper one and realized quickly i disliked them lol

ahhhh day 2..... build-a-base day

[steel forge]

I don’t believe I’ve ever made a copper knife. Usually go flint to abyssal

If you’re a taming type of person it gets leveled from using butcher knife too lol

[paper marsh]

I always like to recommend fist weapons if you haven't given them a proper chance

[steel forge]

I tried to like fists something about their rhythm throws me off though.

I can see how they are good though kick staggers and 2 hit combo with 2nd for extra damage.

[silk token]

i dont like how much post-kick time there is, some enemies you dont even get a punch off before they un-stagger, its more like an interrupt

[prime moth]

i like the fist weapons but yeah their attack takes getting used t o

whenever i see a 1 star bear in a new run i just think "ooh free fist weapon"

[silk token]

haha same, love some bear loots i run for them

then claws kill bears so good too means even more bears to kill

[paper marsh]

Very understandable, that's how I felt about them for a long time

[prime moth]

i just like how easily attainable they are for the biome

bronze takes a while but i can run crypts ez mode with bear paws

[silk token]

ya they are THEE best in slot for crypts

maaybe spamming mace secondary close second

[paper marsh]

Anyone know how fast a mobs stagger bar depletes?

I wonder if the ideal situation to avoid Yacko's much hated kick-lockout is to kick a mob bringing right to the edge of being staggered but not quite there, then following up with a punch to stagger and then just chaining punches

[tacit crystal]

[prime moth]

EAxes dont exist

they're behind a paywall

[silk token]

false! they clip the walls! well if you can lure things or fight things in a large room sure, otherwise claws all day for tight halls

[silk token]

good luck kicking things and not staggering them tho

[paper marsh]

I know, it's not much something you can do intentionally 😅

I have wondered about how stagger depletion works tho

[silk token]

to be fair its great against things that stagger longer, just early against greydwarves for example it feels silly to not just punch them

[paper marsh]

Found a wiki post. Technically it says it's outdated, but I feel I remember hearing 20% stagger reduction per second several times before:

"A Troll has 180 stagger limit (30% of 600) and is dealt 50 Pierce damage per second. Because it is weak to Pierce, it actually takes 75 physical damage per second. Since the staggering level is reduced by 36 (20% of 180) per second, it would take about 4.6 seconds to stagger the Troll after it had lost 345 health. 75 Pierce damage per second would stagger it in 2.35 seconds after it had lost 264 health."

That's actually a bit slower than I expected. No wonder chaining kicks or battleaxe jabs does wonders at stunning even stubborn mobs

[prime moth]

how much hp does a 1 star bear have

like 1000?

oh he gave me a trophy too nice

[queen wadi]

1500?

[prime moth]

lordie lmao

[paper marsh]

1600

And resistant to blunt and pierce

[queen wadi]

Axe it a question

[prime moth]

lv 17 clubs off that one bear lol

[bright kiln]

Use a torch to scare it away

[prime moth]

burn it to death

[merry pebble]

[plucky hinge]

Me over here with barely 95 HP and taking 20-30 HP off a bear at a time.

[merry pebble]

That is really not bad at all 😄

[silk token]

thats plenty hp! parry the swipe and full combo his furry face off

[tranquil sorrel]

Bears can be intimidating but even bronze weapons and parrying/blocking can keep them at bay. Once ye learn their attacks and when to dodge you'll have a nice bear headdress to show off soon

[plucky hinge]

I'm intimidated by a lot. >_>

[granite grail]

Or not 😂 I've intentionally at least killed 20 trying to get the bronze pendant and no trophie

[tranquil sorrel]

You got this 💪 bit by bit you'll get stronger and braver

[tranquil sorrel]

Dam....yea! Just googled and your right. I thought it be easy to get. Was in my to do list. Well guess it now 😅

[plucky hinge]

I'm next to the swamp. About to tiptoe in.

[tranquil sorrel]

Swamp was the furthest I got in my last playthrough. Then laptop died. Armour up, stock up on Health and Stamina and steak the place out frist until your ready

[mental pasture]

the humble greydwarf squad interrupting a black forest 1v1:

[prime moth]

yeah swamp is the first biome i feel like you really want to fully upgrade and utilize everything possible

also you learn to not waste your stam bar sprinting around

[plucky hinge]

Oh holy smokes. This is disgusting!

Bloodbags and entrails.

[prime moth]

great items you'll wanna keep all that

[plucky hinge]

Trust me. I keep everything.

Recovering hoarder IRL has shifted to in game. >_>

[last canyon]

@regal cave Sorry I can't be on today. but I will play tomorrow. I asked FireGod to help us too to clear it fast

[plucky hinge]

Uh oh. I think I built below the water table. Is there any way to keep the tide from coming into my base?

I might have to raise everything up and rebuild. -_-

[prime moth]

classic

many of my bases are made too close to water

but also rebuilding is kinda fun since you have full control

a lot of initial base builds are done of necessity and timing restriction

[granite grail]

;-; I just wanna play Valheim but I'm probably gonna leave the group I'm in, and there isn't a good option in lfg. I hate these lag periods when I don't play waiting it while I wait

[regal cave]

i feel that

[steel forge]

I feel your pain. I’ve been trying to work up the will power to reset my dedi and make a lfg for like a week lol.

[plucky hinge]

OK, this is interesting. I was all set to go explore the swamp and I think it's just this tiny little strip on the shore.

[silk token]

sounds like you should just play solo

[analog hearth]

but it is solo 🥺

[wraith belfry]

That usually happens with my first bases, as I usually build on one of those rock outcrops on the shoreline.
I have my new base im building on an island. I actually started by building a stone wall 4 blocks high. (Two of the 2x4 blocks stacked) then rose the ground up on the inside of the wall.
Then im going to build on tgat artificial plateau

[plucky hinge]

I don't have stone yet. 😭

[granite grail]

I have no interest in playing that way. I have no idea why but I just don't have any motivation to play alone even tho I do all my own building/harvesting/grinding in multiplayer anyway. I just need someone around to chat with and show my builds to/what I have going on

[wraith belfry]

You soon will if your going into the swamp.
You only need 2 ingots to make the stonecutter

[silk token]

hey thats why i dump all my obnoxious "look how good axes and spears are" content in clips XD

[wraith belfry]

Lol
I cant play in groups.
My lag is horrible

[silk token]

lag kills it for me a lot too, need my crisp parry timing

[analog hearth]

I lag regardless of solo or multiplayer 💔

[wraith belfry]

Lol damn

[silk token]

the actual eff, i just got launched SO FAR into lava standing not even close to the wall with a taming asksvin inside it

[plucky hinge]

I've spent about a week getting to this spot and building up a base and working my way over to the swamp only to find it's just a tiny strip. Now I shall never get stonecutter.

[silk token]

there's probably swamp pretty close by just sail a little further away from spawn

[sweet pagoda]

Smelting in this game takes sooo long

[wraith belfry]

Just throw a bunch of ore in and go to bed

[wraith belfry]

Thats what it was like in my first game. I found the tiniest piece of swamp. Id had no crypts.
But what it did have was an abomination. So I was able to make the root armour.
Which is pretty cool

[plucky hinge]

Abomination? Hm. Just leeches, draugr, skeletons, blobs.

[dark coyote]

there can still be iron there, do you have the wishbone?

[plucky hinge]

no

I think that's something I get from the third boss. I've only done the first two.

[final bloom]

Ahh finding that perfect swamp and that perfect build location… so time consuming.

[sweet pagoda]

Bear claws feel so cool to use, I might do a full bear loadout for the elder

[plucky hinge]

Okay, I just spotted an abomination! Or rather, it spotted me.

[scenic wing]

I got lucky and the main swamp I go to is bordering a plains biome.

I normally just bait fulings to fight it and make fuling jelly 😆

[analog hearth]

noice

[wanton vessel]

im ready for ps5 release so ad

[paper marsh]

Imagine if ps5 release had ads

[wraith belfry]

I usually just use flame arrows.
But they arent hard to keep away from as thier pathing gets a little confused trying to navigate the giant unbreakable trees

[sweet pagoda]

I hate how the bear headpiece requires the trophy

[dark coyote]

I hate how the bear

[paper marsh]

I like it. Makes the helmet look mighty nice

[sweet pagoda]

If I have 2 out of 3 pieces will I still get the berserk set bonus?

[buoyant acorn]

you can pary that abomination easily

[sweet pagoda]

Unfortunate

At least bears are easy to kill, they're so rare though

[paper marsh]

If you find ||Black Forest trader||, he has a rug you can smash for a trophy

[sweet pagoda]

It's the phenomenon where when you don't want them they're literally everywhere and when you're looking for them you don't find a single one

[paper marsh]

Valheim in a nutshell

[sweet pagoda]

Oh yeah, I've never actually found him, I kinda forgot he exists

[wraith belfry]

Ever since i started building a proper base

All the game sends after me is troll raids

Granted its the only raid that can really do any damage. Lol.
#screenshots message
Maybe the game realises that. 🤔

[sweet pagoda]

Super in depth building systems are always so fun but I always end up making silly bases anyways, my current playthrough my base is just gonna be a giant tower that I'll progressively make higher the more I progress

[final bloom]

Yes the game has full player action guessing and does the opposite to try kill you. Built way before AI came in.

[wraith belfry]

The last raid the trolls spawned over on the mainland and had to wade thier way over. Lol

[final bloom]

Corewood spikes on the sides

Gives a good stagger and u can knife em after that

And then just forget about them and hit them yourself, be almost dead and then greyling floating around finishes you off.

[wraith belfry]

I was considering making a little pocket in my wall they can come up into that has spikes all around.

[sweet pagoda]

What are the actual chances of bears dropping trophies?

[wraith belfry]

Unbearably low.
🤣

[sweet pagoda]

I looked it up and it's a 10% chance, not as bad as I thought but this is gonna be a tough grind

[wraith belfry]

I got one im not using.
Ill prolly just put it on my wall. Lol

[paper marsh]

I’ve never really understood the fascination with the bear trophy trinket

[wraith belfry]

Well im planning to put all of them up

[final bloom]

U gotta at least make one of everything

[rotund dust]

Bears are not rare.. you run into then 2-3x more than trolls.

[tranquil sorrel]

Been the opposite, only one bear so far and like 9 trolls.

Imagine if there was Bear raids 👀

[strange cradle]

I run into bears all the time... trolls seem to be a bit rarer than bears, IMHO.

[paper marsh]

All rng I suppose, but bears definitely do (on average) have more frequent spawns than trolls

[tacit crystal]

Bears have "uncommon" frequency and trolls have "very rare" for being randomly spawned. Although trolls also can have one time spawners in and/or outside troll caves and also they have their own raids.

[soft path]

I would like to give a moment of appreciation to the devs for adding fiddle head ferns to the game. Such a fantasy looking plant that exists in real life. Also thank you for making the plants drop multiple ferns at a time so we don't need to spend as much time foraging in the Ashlands of all places. 🙏

[woeful arch]

has anyone done the ninebyte/dhahkar adventure map yet?

[tranquil sorrel]

So Mountains biome is typically the 4th biome but then why does the Mountains biome spawn so close to meadows biome. Also I've tried to venture there and I get wrecked by Wolves. Is it worth exploring Mountains now this early in game? In bronze age

[tacit crystal]

Best leave it for later. You'll gather materials from swamps for mead that grants ||frost resistance|| which helps survive the environment better.

Mountains have pre-determined locations based on the bigger world map.

[tranquil sorrel]

Gotcha, swamps then snow. Don't know what's worse. Wolfs or Draugr's

[tacit crystal]

Wolves hit harder.

If you have bronze equipment already you are good for swamps.

[spark plover]

Draugr are also way slower and more predictable

[tacit crystal]

Their attacks are easier to predict, but they can run fast.

on my way to take vengeance on a 2-star draugr elite and his buddy 2-star archer, I ran past an unsuspecting bear, and was greeted by a 2-star draugr. Just past my body, awaited a 2-star leech. All in one night. ⭐ ⭐

[tacit crystal]

Not even 2 star bear?

[full sequoia]

average swamp experience when you finally find one with several good crypts

[mild mason]

nah, just a normal one that time XD
the 2-star bear had a word with me just before elder though. Screenshotted that guy, he towered over me 8)

Two star draugr elite

[tranquil sorrel]

[mild mason]

what's funny about this was that it was the aftermath of a 2-star troll (w/ club) interaction

Geez
I haven't seen any two star anything yet.

Thank goodness

[tranquil sorrel]

Dam....Swamps gonna be fun. Gotta prep

[wraith belfry]

Prep with poison means.
Lots of them.

This was in a world with a challenge with only fist weapons + knives
(also no health (red HP) foods, heavy armor, sneaking, meads, trinkets, nor cheesing or glitches...)
[I also disabled s key and cant back down from fights...]

So I literally had to go kill them, as part of my self-imposed rules

[tacit crystal]

Last time I found 2 star bear it was very close to Rocky clearing.

I'm suicidally lazy with early game mead making I just run at blobs with a blunt weapon and pray

[wraith belfry]

Bro, you just took 10 years off my life making me read that.

[mild mason]

Oh and no shields. (normal world modifiers)

[full sequoia]

br00tal

[wraith belfry]

That was me on my first play through.
And I wondered why I died so much. 🤣

[full sequoia]

it usually worked out for me since I always had a leveled bronze mace going into swamp

[tacit crystal]

[wraith belfry]

We'll be right back

[tranquil sorrel]

Not me taken notes for swamps 📝 Mead, Mace, Poison

[full sequoia]

bronze buckler + axe/sword for abominations (tree monsters)

by the time you're in swamp you can typically parry their ground slam repeatedly with a good buckler and hack them down relatively quick

[tranquil sorrel]

Last time I made it this far I saw one and was like.....nope this time I'll be ready

[full sequoia]

If all else fails hide on top of a crypt entrance and poke at them

[wraith belfry]

🤣
Yep.

[wraith belfry]

It takes a bit longer, but I use fire arrows.
