[wraith belfry]

Or even better, lure one into a nearby black forest and get it into a fight with a troll or a bear.

🤣

[full sequoia]

this is the better option if the place is swarming with trashmobs that want your ass while you're trying to fight it

blobs especially are horrible if you're going the melee route with an abomination

[prime moth]

yall ever mine into a huge copper node and find trees inside?

[full sequoia]

inside?

[wraith belfry]

Nope

How big is the copper node?

[full sequoia]

I only ever see trees on top of the node

[prime moth]

yeah inside lol

its maaaaaassive

[ivory wind]

which one do you guys think is better between frost and ember staff overall? i get that its situational in a lot of cases ofc

[wraith belfry]

Ive never gotten that high. Lol

in general id take fire staff first

[wraith belfry]

Looks like you in a cave

Maybe you should build in there
Lol

[dim python]

@mild mason how are feasts working out for you on your current playthrough?

[silk peak]

Hallo

[wraith belfry]

Hey @silk peak

[paper marsh]

I like to use fire pyres when convenient

[wraith belfry]

Yeh
Those work well.
Only if theres one about.

[prime moth]

i should not have used my bear trophy on a hat lol

i forgot its part of a trinket

[frozen void]

English only in this server please

[prime moth]

and a merry "we don't know when 1.0 drops" to you too!

[frozen void]

They already got hit by automod twice in the last hour for speaking german lol

[prime moth]

ahh gotcha

also- lfg is down there

that should cover the general conversations here for a couple hours

[plucky hinge]

Morning / afternoon / evening / etc.

Is there a way to see what time it is in game?

I mean, apart from the obvious "It is cold".

[foggy glacier]

You can get a general idea of the time by looking at where the sun/moon is. It always goes a straight line east to west.

check your arrow direction on the mini-map.

[plucky hinge]

Dang it. Real world obvious physics strike again.

[foggy glacier]

If you want more precision, you can build yourself a sundial. There are plenty of videos.

[plucky hinge]

Oh! But not so portable.

[tacit crystal]

Day cycle is 30 minute long, 21 minutes day time and 9 minutes night time.

If you have enough comfort to get 21 minutes long rested buff you could use that to sleep through night and measure the rested buff duration to tell how long till night time.

But that is quite restricted way. Easier to look at the direction of the sun.

[plucky hinge]

Oh! I unlocked the root set.

[prime moth]

hellll yeahh nice!

[full sequoia]

harnesk is friend

[dim python]

root helm is high priority if you don't want to keep making poison resist mead, otherwise harnesk is 🐐 bahh

[tacit crystal]

Full set is pretty nice for the bow skill level bonus.

+15 is noticeably different if the skill is otherwise low still.

[plucky hinge]

I was noticing the stats and was going to rush helm. I need to kill more abominations.

[tacit crystal]

Poison resistance from mead is stronger than in mask, just to note. But it is strong enough and nice for saving item slots in your inventory.

[dim python]

and time/coal/neck tails

[high coral]

21.15% more damage and faster draw speed are both very nice

[plucky hinge]

OH! Ok. I was trying to figure out the mead ketill and didn't realise I needed the fermenter.

So this is how I get potions in game, yeah? Is the frost resistance one good enough to help me go to the mountains?

[dim python]

it's near required before wolf cape/chest

[tacit crystal]

It grants resistance to frost, which means you won't get freezing at mountain and cold debuff during night.

[dim python]

wolves will probably be very dangerous

[plucky hinge]

Yeah, the wolves have eaten my face every time I set foot on a mountain, so that's going to be a bit. I'll have to figure out the swamp first.

[dim python]

iron weapons are great for facing wolves

[shadow finch]

iron atgeir especially

[plucky hinge]

Ok, yeah. So it sounds like what I find in the swamp helps me get through the mountains.

[dim python]

mostly upgraded ones. 😐

[plucky hinge]

Thanks.

[shadow finch]

spending iron feels illegal idk why

Had a 1000 iron the other day now its less tahn 20...

[dim python]

i prefer iron sword and iron mace

iron atgeir works but if you're over-run stamina runs out

[shadow finch]

atgeir is better if you'r overrun, the secondary works muhc better with more of them

[dim python]

🤷‍♀️

[shadow finch]

only thing thatsaved me in my first wolf raid

[full sequoia]

Iron is the most commonly required metal in the game, I never seem to have enough

[plucky hinge]

I haven't found iron yet.

[shadow finch]

At least I am finally close to maxing out all weapons and armor in my originalworld

Just need a little bit more iron to make a few more stuff

[analog hearth]

never enough iron

[dim python]

weapons are actually lower priority than a shield and food prep table

[full sequoia]

I ended up blowing through almost 2 longboat storage worth of it by the time I was out of mistlands on my first world

[plucky hinge]

Ooh, food prep table...

[shadow finch]

that's all the way in the plains, dw about that

[full sequoia]

and that was before I started making my base look nice and building lots of furniture/torch pieces

[shadow finch]

nah bro no iron the spare for that stuff yet

maybe after i max everything out

[dim python]

no it isn't. 🌝

i think nails is priority number 1 tho

make at least one crafting to unlock recipes, probably ten for biggus boattus

stonecutter also rather important

that's 1 for some nails, 8 for banded shield/10 for buckler, 2 for stonecutter, 4 for prep table, 9 for more nails

all together that's... 24/26

[full sequoia]

a single decent crypt should cover this assuming you're not leveling anything

[dim python]

yeah.

[full sequoia]

keyword: decent, I've seen some absolutely pitiful sunken crypts

ran into one that had no scrap piles or rooms once, just the entrance and faux hallways

[dim python]

decent also because some crypts are wack amazing and have 4 stacks of 30 iron

[full sequoia]

there is no bigger dopamine hit than opening a chest in a crypt room and seeing a 28-30 stack of iron

[frank crescent]

valheim update when?

[dim python]

when it's ready.

[frank crescent]

[full sequoia]

I hear we're getting new build pieces in deep north

can't wait

[tacit crystal]

New type of wood it seems like.

[full sequoia]

very excited for it

I hope we get triangle floor pieces

[tacit crystal]

Remains to be seen. I'm looking forward to 67° roof/beam pieces personally.

[dim python]

the memes will be insufferable -- --

[full sequoia]

any new build piece is a good addition

[tacit crystal]

@dim python I have one seed type with Polaris mountain not in Deep North area.

[dim python]

aware this can happen.
it's just rare

[tacit crystal]

It is, yeah.

[dim python]

also
can you share it?

i collect polaris/hook seeds

mostly hook seeds, i don't actually have any polaris seeds

[tacit crystal]

I don't remember it, gotta look it out once I get back to my PC.

[dim python]

👍

[tacit crystal]

Not today tho.

[dim python]

understood.

[plucky hinge]

New type of wood? Is it eggplant?

But seriously...triangle pieces would be nice.

[tacit crystal]

#memes-and-clips message @silk token I like the combo of Frost staff and Wild roots: slowing them and letting roots do their job.
Fracturing deals very high fire damage when all clusters hit the same target.

[paper marsh]

I've used frost staff a lot to slow enemies down for ballistas to hit them

Though parry tends to just be better

[sweet pagoda]

Not in my experience, I've seen many more trolls than bears so far

[silk token]

yeah i tried melee fracturing too, i thought dundr still did more than fracturing at melee range

[silk token]

ya parrying is life, when i tried against non-star asksvins i shoved them into the roots and parried them lol

[paper marsh]

That reload speed on dundr is pretty quick. Does that scale with elemental skill?

[silk token]

no idea, i set it at pretty mediocre skill level like 40-50

[tacit crystal]

It does.

[sweet pagoda]

I forget how big the map of this game is, I thought my starting island was so big until I decided to zoom all the way out on the map

[silk token]

my mind is SLIGHTLY changed now that i know how easily i can parry things with a staff, but its still better with a greatsword. more fun maybe doing silly magic things, but ill still take just pure hp parry thrust

one plus i can think of is you have eityr so if the biome tries to unfair you you can start throwing down roots

[paper marsh]

I like the hybrid playstyle. Though my hybrid is like 90% melee 10% magic

Something like HHF or HHE

With a frost staff or dundr or something for flavor in my playstyle

[dim python]

trolls hear you from further away. when you can dispatch with them without too much effort you'll tend to find a little more bears than trolls while exploring the black forest

[prime moth]

eyyyyy finally found my 2nd bear trophy

[sweet pagoda]

I envy your luck, I've killed maybe 5 bears so far and I haven't found a single one

[sweet pagoda]

So far I've probably seen an equal amount of trolls and bears, with most trolls I've seen I end up ignoring since they're only really useful for coins, which have no use for me since I've never found the trader, and troll leather, which I also have little use for since I'm just skipping straight to bear armor

[prime moth]

probably killed around 20 now so about on rate

i also just witnessed the power of a log troll for harvesting wood lol

[sweet pagoda]

Being able to parry trolls is one of the funniest things in this game

[prime moth]

true

they look like hank hill being surprised

bwaaawwuhhuhh

[lime condor]

why are bears so OP? why like real life? I became bear sh!t so many times...

[sweet pagoda]

I just cheese them by holding out a torch and killing them with my axe

[lime condor]

((Two... Hours... Later...))

[dim python]

bears are a miniboss when faced before black forest

harder than eikthyr fr

[prime moth]

i died to them like 20 times till i learned their attack pattern

i think their variety of moves is what makes them difficult

[sweet pagoda]

If dodge rolling was easier I'd be way better at dealing with them without torches

[dim python]

i didn't even die that much i'm used to well designed enemies because of the souls duology

[prime moth]

it really really helped to practice on normal bears though

cause when i found the viles i was scared till i realized they have the same set

[dim python]

dodge rolling isn't easy?

[sweet pagoda]

I mean I wouldn't call bears poorly designed but you can't really compare them to DS enemies

[dim python]

(i can and do 🌝)

[sweet pagoda]

Not for me, I like just pressing one button and rolling, you have to hold block and press space, I always end up not holding block for long enough and just jumping and getting hit

[dim python]

i'll admit it takes a little getting used to

but then again i'm a goblin that played ds1 with only the keyboard

[bright kiln]

You can also get a mod that binds dodge to a single key

Or if your crounching a jup will make you dodge

[sweet pagoda]

I think it's just a matter of quality, don't get me wrong I really really like the bosses in this game (well, the two I've fought so far), but Fromsoft bosses are just much higher quality, except Bed of Chaos from DS1

[dim python]

i'm comparing the not bosses to other not bosses

bears to the undead parish swordmen for example

[regal cave]

#memes-and-clips message good clip, not sold tho

[dim python]

@regal cave what should i do with corewood i get from cutting down pine trees

learned ||wood iron beams|| don't use it

[regal cave]

Put vertical ones on top of each other and use the two snapping points on horizontal ones to lay the blueprint for a giant spiral staircase

[dim python]

#u#

made of what?

[regal cave]

Wood stair

[dim python]

hmm

[regal cave]

#screenshots message

[analog hearth]

what on earth
I am not good enough to comprehend this 😭

[dim python]

is making the stairs out of stones an option? i really like collecting stone...

[regal cave]

yes, you need to use iron wood beams to support stone, though

[regal cave]

or stone

[unique helm]

Followed a greydwarf farm video, and for some reason I still have greydwarfs spawning outside of the kill box

[dim python]

valheim afk farms are not very popular among fans XwX

[regal cave]

ive made a decent few, wanna share a screenshot in the screenshot channel?

[unique helm]

Dropped them in modded because technically I play with mods, but didnt use any to build it

[regal cave]

Looks really nice man. I don't see any glaring mistakes. Your roof looks great. One thing you can do is take away the 1x1 walls holding up the brazaiers, the braziers will stay when you deconstruct the wall holding them. I have noticed that with Greydwarves, unlike Draugr, they dont tend to spawn in obstructed spots. Are they spawning outside-outside the house or under the floor and in weird places?

[unique helm]

Had one in the floor, another just inside the building, and some outside outside

[regal cave]

Looking at the first picture, the box on the right is the spawner, and the box under the unrooved spots is the killbox, right? Also the kill box looks like it doeesnt have an opening? I assume ur using ||sort mods|| to reduce clutter but I'm wondering if that is blocking them somehow.

[unique helm]

I have auto sort that does pick up the typical drops, but I have to manually clean it out sometimes because of epic loot drops

[regal cave]

Oh I see the other side of the roof now, that might be it. The roof pieces are supposed to snap into a corner that you make within the kill box, covering the braziers

[dull warren]

ooh, day 1000 today

[unique helm]

If you want we can move to #mods-discussion since I know how they are when it comes to mods around here

[regal cave]

I dont think its a mod issue. Im just throwing out ideas sorry im not much help. If I remember, your roof looks identical to the video, except that you have wall extending down under those roof pieces, does that sound right? Sometimes it seems like my spawners are slowing down, im wondering if it's because it's looking for a place to spawn them, maybe if it doesn't find one (bc of the walls, if im correct) it spawns them somewhere else?

[unique helm]

I actually added the walls after as an attempt to keep them contained.

[regal cave]

Dang, im at a loss. I would do jenky things until I figured it out. Degrass under what isnt the kill chamber, maybe raise the ground under it (not ideal to fix), extend the roofs out one more. If you figure it out please lmk i still use these

[unique helm]

Honestly I think every now and then one just spawns dead in the middle and doesnt hit a brazier so it clogs it up or something

Not sure how to fix that though

[pliant furnace]

i'm new to Valheim what should i do

[unique helm]

I would probably play the game

[mild mason]

Very well. Almost too well

[regal cave]

When that happens they usually push each other into the fires

[pliant furnace]

should i start solo or in some kind of server

[dreamy karma]

Starting a solo world would be a good idea, then you can learn at your own pace

[regal cave]

Ppl make the game meta and take the fun out of it usually

I vote solo first

[pliant furnace]

okk

[pliant furnace]

okieeee

[dreamy karma]

I played with my dad, we were both pretty green lol took a little bit of time.. and many deaths, just try not to get frustrated and change the world modifiers to your liking, its your first world afterall

i just deafeated my first bear by myself and lootet my first dungeon🎉

[stark dune]

[snow aurora]

A dumb ahh lox destroyed my longship while I was looting a village in some random plains island 😭

[high coral]

That happened to me too, they really like doing that

[dull warren]

It's never happened to me, because I kill everything that moves

[prime moth]

elder is hiding from me

[dark coyote]

[prime moth]

he fears the bear hat

nvm- he heard me talkin shit and showed up

[snow aurora]

Luckily i brought one w me recovered everything except the nails

I always keep an unnamed port at base

[dull warren]

I name mine "Explorer" and then I have a "Backup"

The backup more often than not gets used because I delete a portal to move it, but forget to note the tag

[dim python]

hot take

making dedicated unnamed portals isn't a good idea

the second unnamed portal should be for when you forget to name the first one 🌝

[raven mica]

Hey would anyone like to play the new ninebyte adventure map with me?

Seems pretty sweet

[silk token]

#screenshots message
@regal cave is this functional?? can you walk up it smoothly?

[raven mica]

They've been making it for the last few years and it just came out yesterday I think

[tacit crystal]

You could try asking from people in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1024264966712340510

[raven mica]

I posted there already I just sent a message here for more visability hopefully

[regal cave]

should i delete it? i just googled spiral staircase corewood valheim and took a snip it of the idea everyone uses, i didnt mean for it to look like i was taking credit for it -- was supposed to just show the idea

[mild mason]

replace the stairs with level 3 trollfish

[regal cave]

you can though

[sweet pagoda]

I GOT A BEAR TROPHY!!!

[tacit crystal]

The channel exists solely for the purpose to look for people to play with so other channels won't get flooded by messages looking for people. Sometimes we need to be patient. Mentioning your timezone can also help finding potential group.

[raven mica]

Alright

[sweet pagoda]

Full bear set looks awesome

How many markers do you guys put on the map? I have 18 total markers put in the black forest alone

[tacit crystal]

All dungeons, mushroom/berry bushes in earlier biomes, important materials, settlements etc.

So a lot.

[sweet pagoda]

That's also what I tend to mark down: bases (obviously), mushroom patches, blueberry patches, dungeons, and random points of interest id want to revisit

[dull warren]

wIf I zoom out on the map, it's just a sea of white

[tacit crystal]

Rocky clearing POI for example.

[snow aurora]

Is the jotuns bane a good replacement for the bm axe

[tacit crystal]

It has higher chop damage so it will cut wood better. But they have same tool tier.

Not necessary upgrade, but it is up to you.

[silk token]

no idgaf who came up with what i just want to know if i can walk up it comfortably

[prime moth]

anyone know off the top of their head how much turtle shell it takes to fully upgrade the abyssal razor

[merry pebble]

Total 80 chitin (including initial making of the razor)

[prime moth]

even the fabled triple turtle spawn wouldn't do it in one go, ey lol

[merry pebble]

For just the upgrades 60 chitin

[prime moth]

i guess i coulda used elder and made a stronger pickaxe

got enough for a t3 surely that's good enough for now

my landing site is between swamp bf and plains

surely this doesn't go poorly

ok i survived but i would not have called that smooth lol

[soft path]

Should linen capes give stamina cost reduction like clothing items do? Right now they don't really serve a purpose other than fashion.

[plucky hinge]

Is swamp always along a shoreline?

[tacit crystal]

Usually can be found while sailing.

[opal prairie]

More often than not it is.

[prime moth]

elder was hiding but i found bonemass just by landing 😎

[plucky hinge]

I just wanna unlock stone. -_-

[prime moth]

you got this

[plucky hinge]

hahaha! namhai with the entrails.

[analog hearth]

I was trying to pick a swamp emote I could think of

[plucky hinge]

It was perfect.

[analog hearth]

[wraith belfry]

Mmmm blood bag

Shame we cant make black pudding

[sweet pagoda]

Would the bear set be good for the elder?

[wraith belfry]

If you can dodge all his tenacle things

But im pretty sure its fire that hes weak to

[prime moth]

anyone else every do the greydwarf walk around the house

[wraith belfry]

So I went with fire arrows

[sweet pagoda]

Idk if I'd wanna do ranged against the elder tbh

[static ruin]

no but i do vibe by my hearth

[sweet pagoda]

His thorns are so hard to dodge

[wraith belfry]

Just duck in and out from the pillars

[dim python]

melee with a bronze sword or axe and upgraded bone tower and well timed dodges is better anyway

[plucky hinge]

I lucked out and my Elder spawn ended up stupidly not able to path through the trees around his area.

[dim python]

do you have meads?

[sweet pagoda]

Nope

[dim python]

that'd help @u@

[plucky hinge]

So I picked him off at a distance with fire arrows and dodged his spiny tentacle thorns.

[sweet pagoda]

But I do have access to a fermentation barrel and tankards

What do meads do?

[dim python]

recollect hp and stamina with a cooldown

[wraith belfry]

I made the dumb mistake of starting the fight when my rested buff was almost gone.
But I still got him
So hes not that hard.

[sweet pagoda]

Oh, so a healing potion of sorts?

[dim python]

a lot like it

[sweet pagoda]

That rocks

[wraith belfry]

You'll need meads fof the swamp.
Which is the next biome

[dim python]

people call them potions a lot actually

[wraith belfry]

The poison res one will save your bacon a LOT

[sweet pagoda]

I've been to the swamp once in my first playthrough: died almost instantly, boat broken, and I was across an ocean from my main base

[plucky hinge]

The raft death run was horrid.

[wraith belfry]

Lol

Damn that sucks

[plucky hinge]

I had to build mini bases along the way to leapfrog back.

[sweet pagoda]

My plan this time will be to make a checkpoint base with a portal in a nearby meadow or black forest

[dim python]

at least dropped items never despawn 🫠

looking at you minecraft 👿

[wraith belfry]

Lol

Is there a way to force dropped items to despawn?

[dim python]

there's optional death penalties that destroy your items

[dull warren]

Fuck me, killed by my own pointy stick traps because I forgot to eat. I got bounced between three of four of them in my hare killing field

[prime moth]

F

[sweet pagoda]

Honestly dropping items on death is one of my least favorite aspects of survival games, I dropped Ark because I was about to fight the first boss (which takes FOREVER to build up to, took me maybe 20-30 hours), and then I died in a cave by falling into a lava pit

[wraith belfry]

Im building my.base on an island. So theres a lot of dropped stone around my island in water thats too deep to retrieve them
I dont want them adding to the lag.

[dull warren]

This game at least mitigates it with game mode options, no skill drain, and corpse run buffs

[dim python]

i play with casual death penalty and hope i'm not labelled a cheater 🤞 🤭

[prime moth]

i hate dying so much in this game i just play permadeath 😎

[dull warren]

I use casual though

[sweet pagoda]

I think the best balance is what Grounded does, where on death you don't drop any equipped items, only what's in your backpack/inventory

[wraith belfry]

I use whatever the default is. Lol

[dull warren]

The removedrops console command will delete them

[wraith belfry]

Im on xbox.
😭

[dim python]

you have access to dev console on xbox iirc

[dull warren]

Well we can't all be decent humans

[rotund dust]

I think my world is broken, my daughter and I have found 6 bears so far and 5 have been 1*

[wraith belfry]

Hard mode.
Lol

Though bears are easy if your holding a torchm

[dim python]

i'm not sure but there might be an area in your world likely to keep the spawning same kind of bear in about the same spot each time they expire

[dark coyote]

yeah bear algo is overtuned, I've seen them spawn behind me as I'm moving, its ridiculous

[wraith belfry]

Of course if you dont kill the bear, it stays there.
Theres a 1* bear near my copper mining base. I just didn't feel like fighting him when j found him.
So I just left him, and hes still there some 160 days later

[plucky hinge]

I built a base in the Black Forest next to a tiny swamp strip. There was a bear that was holding the line against draugr forays. I let it be.

But now the bear keeps inching closer and closer to my base. Every time I leave now it's a little closer.

[wraith belfry]

Lol

[wraith belfry]

Are there any crypts in your tiny strip of swamp?

[plucky hinge]

Not that I've found.

[wraith belfry]

Theyre usually easy to see with thier green fire torches

Thats where the iron is.
So if theres no crypts, then theres no point hanging around.

[plucky hinge]

That's what I thought. But there IS another shoreline strip of swamp that I started exploring.

[wraith belfry]

I think you can get iron from the Oozer
But they rarely spawn, and only at night.

[plucky hinge]

Oozer? Is that Slimer's long lost cousin?

[wraith belfry]

Yeh
A big yellow slimes
Splits into two small ones when you kill it.

[plucky hinge]

I'm boating along the edge of this swamp to see if I can spot any green fire torches.

Found a random boat on the edge of the shore.

What the...ok, this swamp extends into the ocean. There's a random guck tree in the water on the opposite shore!

[wraith belfry]

Any swamp over there?

[frozen fable]

always a good idea to mine or chop the guck for later

[dim python]

hmm

what do you truly need the guck for?

that you can't get from an abomination

[regal cave]

Turning down the lights

[frozen fable]

Draugr Fang bow and upgrading it

[plucky hinge]

Ahhh cool. I think I found the green torches! But it's getting dark. I found a Meadows butting up against it and landed there to put up a shack.

Excuse me while I overthink my little base camp.

[frozen fable]

never a bad thing to plan for the future

[plucky hinge]

Uh, why is there a t-shirt on my map?

Mead bases. Make your self a mead kettel and you'll be able to craft them.

[clear silo]

Guys do you think fenris or wolf set is better?

[wraith belfry]

Luckyyy

[clear silo]

I got level 3 troll rn, and idk what to upgrade to

wolf or troll?

wolf or fenris i meant

[wraith belfry]

Didnt want any of the swamp armour?

[clear silo]

I got through swamp just fine with troll

This is my first solo world, and the furthest Ive ever gotten was just beating moder with a group of 3. I already knew I didn't really need iron armor.

Im just not sure whether or not to go for fenris or wolf

I think I have all of the stuff for both

[wraith belfry]

Damn

[sweet pagoda]

I don't think I have a mead kettle unlocked, what do I need to build it?

[clear silo]

have you mined in black forest yet?

[sweet pagoda]

Yes

I'm about to go fight the elder, meads were something I wanted to get before I do so

[clear silo]

you got the forge?

[sweet pagoda]

Yep, I have just about everything up to this point unlocked

[clear silo]

its just copper and tin, so it should be there

[soft path]

As well as leather scraps from boars

[sweet pagoda]

Oh, really? Guess I just missed it in the building menu

Oh I see it now, what kind of spelling is "ketill"?

[twilit elm]

Viking spelling

[light moat]

If you made it through swamp with troll armor, sounds like you value speed and are decent at dodging? I think you should go with the Fenris set, personally.

[clear silo]

Tbf tho, I find I die a lot in mountains by getting overwhelmed/surrouded and not having the stuff to tank hits

[prime moth]

oh my goodness i am overjoyed

bog witch and bonemass in the same swamp 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[wraith belfry]

Man, you lucky

[prime moth]

extremely

i would prefer my luck hits when finding the queen but that's alright

[clear silo]

Odin just jumpscared the hell out of me

[final bloom]

Speed helps you the most in mountains.

[wraith belfry]

I still haven't seen him yet

You lucky too

[wraith belfry]

I mostly fight without dodging. (Parry/block)
So i should prolly build the iron armour. 🤔

[sweet pagoda]

Might be a dumb question but how do I break beehives?

[mild mason]

do damage to them, bows work well, spear throw...
even build up a stairs and stab em

then you can place your own queen bee with the building hammer

[sweet pagoda]

I've tried all of those but they seem completely incorporeal

[mild mason]

strange, maybe try re-logging and logging back in, the natural bee hives should break after a moderate amount of early-game damage

[sweet pagoda]

So just a loading problem you think? If I unload and reload the area could it go back to normal?

[mild mason]

I hope so... at least if you're dealing with an invulnerable bee hive...

[sweet pagoda]

Also my starter island is gargantuan

So big I ended up putting two bases on one island just so if I die I don't have to walk for like 30 minutes back to my corpse

#screenshots message Look who's on my starter island

[wraith belfry]

Do you have a farm?

For vegetables?

[sweet pagoda]

Nope, but I do have the recipe for a cultivator and carrot seeds

[wraith belfry]

Its a good idea to build one.
You can access more powerful recipes with the addition of vegetables

[sweet pagoda]

Im a little bit disappointed by what the merchant has to offer

[wraith belfry]

The belt is the main thing you go there for

Cant remember what its called

Gives you an extra 150 carry

[analog hearth]

this is so me

[dark coyote]

they should reduce haldor's max spawn radius imo

[wraith belfry]

I still haven't found him

I think i need to just get in my boat and circumnavigate a few islands

So long as j stay away from thr Plains I should be pretty safe

I learned the hard way never use a raft in the swamps

[sweet pagoda]

This is such an easy game to get lost in

[wraith belfry]

Leaches will just eat it out from under you

[rancid pebble]

... Would be nice if I could learn shaman magics from greydwarves. Who wouldn't want a stupid little healing spray?

[paper marsh]

Me

[rancid pebble]

you get the salt spray

[paper marsh]

dies 💀

[rancid pebble]

bet you wish you had a healing spray now!

... But yeah, it was a silly suggestion, which is why i did not post it in the suggestions channel

Is anything weak to poison?

[glacial tangle]

That suggestion tab can anyone message in it? I tried but it instantly vanished. Does it need to be moderated?

[hollow gull]

as a mage user what's my go to farmable foods because ticks arnt exactly easy to come

[high coral]

need to put 💡 emoji in front of your suggestion, read pins there

[glacial tangle]

Ohhh ok thank u. It says no lists i made like a paragraph talking about an ocean expansion and I wanna post it but I also dont wanna accidentally break rules.

Sorry very new to discord servers and stufc

[high coral]

afaik if you put a list there then it's harder to vote on the suggestion but if you have a big paragraph then i wouldn't worry about it, it's not like you get banned for it

that is if all the stuff that you're writing about is regarding one topic then it should be fine imo, people can go nuts with their downvotes but it shouldn't matter

theres is 30 mins per post slowmode so if you had to break it down into several different suggestions it would take you some time

[glacial tangle]

Ok ok that makes sense thank you oh helpful one i shall build a shine in valheim to you

[final bloom]

What does the ♻️ symbol there mean

[granite grail]

It means something has been suggested before. Not a negative thing really, just a way to keep track if things are being frequently suggested

[tacit crystal]

Fandom Wiki is the official wiki.

[final bloom]

And the amount indicated by the ♻️ symbol means how many times it’s been suggested? Does a bot count that?

[tacit crystal]

No, those are just votes from server users.

How many people have seen the suggestion before in some form etc.

[final bloom]

Yikes

[rancid pebble]

concensus factory

I wonder how much modding would be needed to turn valheim into a city builder.

[paper marsh]

Most frost cave mobs

[rancid pebble]

Really now? Fascinating.

[paper marsh]

People like to cheese them with poison bombs

[rancid pebble]

fills frost cave with beehives

Oh yeah that'd make more sense

I just use them to fend off murdersquitos

[tacit crystal]

Oozer vial clears them quite comfortably.

[high coral]

is there something wrong with crystal battleaxe?

not sure how effective is spirit damage

[tacit crystal]

Spirit damage mostly affects to undead and fenris type enemies, most others are immune to it.

[high coral]

so weak as a general multipurpose weapon

[tacit crystal]

Battleaxes? Their stronger suit is against groups and crowd control with their staggering abilities.

One example before Call to Arms update: #memes-and-clips message

[high coral]

no, i'm talking of crystal battleaxe specifically

[storm lion]

Hello everyone.
I bought this game a few days ago, and all I can say is that this is the best game to play. It's the absolute best thing after a hard day's work and a perfect game to unwind. It doesn't require you to buy anything in-game—just pure gameplay and fun.
Thanks to the developers of Valheim, they deserve all the best things in life

[tacit crystal]

Wait until you get into building.

[storm lion]

@tacit crystal I'm trying to build something, like a house for myself. I'm not that skilled, but I am persistent 😁

[tacit crystal]

Don't get discouraged! The structural system the game has gives some nice challenge for building which is rewarding once you get into it.

You will also get stronger materials to support your buildings higher little later.

[storm lion]

@tacit crystal I can't wait to reach that level in the game. I hope I'll be good at it.
Thanks, my friend, and I wish you all the best ☺️

[tacit crystal]

Building tips ever needed, there are channels dedicated for that part of the game, like https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202303747053846608 for example. 👍

[paper marsh]

I mean most the mountain weapons have spirit damage. Does feel a bit wasted in most situations, but I think the weapons honestly have enough physical damage to be straight up upgrades from swamp weapons, then the spirit is added on as a bonus

Gotta say though my favorite mountain weapons are the two melee without spirit damage

[tacit crystal]

And remember: everyone starts at the bottom on things.

[silk token]

imo no, why what would be wrong with it?

[high coral]

i don't know saw something of that sort

spirit damage not doing much

[wraith belfry]

Welcome!

[silk token]

personally id rather have raw damage than damage over time, but spirit damage works against 2 mobs in the biome after mountains and the boss too, also lots in ashlands. but even without the spirit damage crystal axe is still a damage upgrade to iron

some mobs in mountain also take spirit damage, tho the axe is likely to kill them before a damage over time matters

[high coral]

Thanks

[plucky hinge]

Ok. Ready to start new adventure. I have mats for ONE portal that I'll be taking with me to the t-shirt. I am thinking I'll rename my portal home to whatever I name that t-shirt portal.

Ah, wait. No. I do have more cores to make a second portal.

Just need to farm a little more finewood.

[paper marsh]

What’s a t-shirt portal?

[plucky hinge]

A portal to this.
#screenshots message

[rancid pebble]

Maybe I should take a break. - I tried to go to sleep on a campfire.

[granite grail]

Sounds like you need some real sleep my friend 😂

[rancid pebble]

I tried but got burns all over my back for some reason

[plucky hinge]

How can you sleep when your beds are burning? >_>

[slender saddle]

Question for the devs regarding game mechanics - why are the forsaken something you summon rather then just find in the wild?

Lore-wise, the queen is the only one that makes sense, since you don't summon her. You just unlock the lair she's locked in and you go kill her.

If we are sent to that realm to kill the forsaken, why wouldn't they already be roaming on the map? Why do we have to summon them to kill them the first time?

Just thought of this, I'm sure there is a proper answer. I'm curious.

[rancid pebble]

Poorly

[neon steppe]

how high can you put ballista and it still hits the ground mobs?

[merry pebble]

No real thoughts abouth why wouldnt they be just roaming in the wild from lore standpoint. But from gameplay perspective it would be kinda weird to encounter 5th biome boss while randomly sailing around plains in your black forest gear. 😄

But for why you need to summon them my personal thought is that you are simply beneath their ability/desire to notice you so they dont seek you out outright. Only after you anger them/make them notice you via the sacrifice they come to you.

[granite grail]

Perhaps they're all fighting at the barrier of the world above us to try and break through. When we summon them, they have to come and once we kill them that's fewer able to attack the barrier and so on until there's none

[slender saddle]

I know folks whom skip biomes for the challenge of it, me included.

Yeah, I could see it from the perspective of 'god' where you have to sacrifice to get noticed. Just an interesting thought.

[slender saddle]

Mayhap. We may never know.

[plucky hinge]

What are the placing rules for spice rack? I unlocked it and am trying to build it in my base next to my cauldron, but it's red no matter where I've tried.

[merry pebble]

For sure, i know a few people who enjoy skipping bosses/biomes 😄
But that is not how you are intended to play the game.

[merry pebble]

Place it from bottom of something 🙂

[plucky hinge]

Still no luck. Do I have to hang it from the inside of my chimney roof or something? Has to have LoS to the cauldron?

[merry pebble]

Has to be near the couldron, and hanging from bottom of something. Thats pretty much all

[plucky hinge]

Ah ha! I I was able to stick an item stand outside the cauldron area.

A bit sloppy, but it works.
#building-screenshots message

I can now make a muckshake if I want. Uh...My muckshake brings all the draugr to the yard?

[tall totem]

Sup vikings

[abstract warren]

Why do we need to put a roof on a workbench to make it functional

[plucky hinge]

Helps to be dry when you're working?

Also helps to not AFK in fire.

Apparently I forgot to pause when I tabbed out, and now I have no idea where my body is.

[uncut turtle]

any upd or info abt 1.0

[robust delta]

no

[sterile dagger]

Waiting for a new "word from the devs"-may

[robust delta]

would suck if your tools were wet i suppose. also nerfs the ability to just plop down a workbench to start insta repairing tools ig

[paper marsh]

interesting, I've been trying to avoid those 😅

[plucky hinge]

Oh great. Wind shifted once I was out on the ocean and right next to the swamp.

I'm a sitting duck.

[sterile dagger]

Afraid of spoiler 😅
I think if 1.0 gets a date we will all know this 😉

[plucky hinge]

The gods have heard my pleas! The wind has shifted.

[shadow panther]

I completed Valheim 🥳🥳🥳

When is the next Valheim update?

[paper marsh]

🥳

[paper marsh]

Unknown, but the next big update will be the conclusion (1.0) to the games story, adding the Deep North biome

[plucky hinge]

Yay! I found Hildir and set up a portal to her.

Did not realise there was a use for all the coins I was finding, though.

I kinda want to...run up this mountain and shave off all the tumors.
#screenshots message

[idle epoch]

theres a hildor and a haldor trader.

[plucky hinge]

Is there a Hodor trader? >_>

[granite grail]

Along with a bog witch who gives you some epic stuff

[plucky hinge]

I need a new door.

[peak tendon]

still dont have a deep north update....

[merry pebble]

None of us do 😄
-# Except Smiffe ofc

[paper marsh]

You could probably get one on the modstore somewhere

Though for the official one we'll have to wait

[plucky hinge]

Holy moly! I just found Plains right next to Hildir.

Run away! Run away! 🐇

This is incredible! I have meadows, swamp, black forest, and plains all right next to each other here.

I was about to ask what will most likely one-shot me as I step unprepared into a new biome, and I spotted a "Deathsquito" hovering nearby. Yeah, Imma go back over theeeeere for a while.

[silk token]

thats extremely common actually, 90% of my permanent bases are next to her because i get meadows and plains to farm in

[plucky hinge]

I have a portal set up to her in a mini shed.

Thank you whoever suggested last night that I do that!

[unkempt rampart]

How is it going for everyone ?

[plucky hinge]

The ground is shaking, but I'm at Hildir's camp and I don't see any trolls except one waaaay in the distance. Does this mean this base is gonna be safe??

[prime moth]

i cant believe i'm saying this..... there's too much iron in this swamp

ive gathered like 400 already and i got like 5 crypts to go

[dull warren]

All the traders have a zone around them into which enemies can't enter'

But somehow the odd one gets through for me so idk

[plucky hinge]

Wow. This is so nice.

[tacit crystal]

"Waiter, my steak is too juicy."

[prime moth]

my exact thoughts lol

[tacit crystal]

But nice, you don't have to mine it all yet, only when you need more.

[prime moth]

i feel like i may as well just stack up my boat and head off for a mountain base now

[worthy wolf]

Are there no more "open" community servers?

[merry pebble]

No idea, all are run by players themselves, so depends on their whims pretty much if they leave the password public.

[prime moth]

aaaand it had the turnips? damn this is the most stacked swamp of all time

[tacit crystal]

"Waiter, now my lobster is too buttery."

-# ||||

[prime moth]

and I'll GO ON!

TWO surtling spawners

[plucky hinge]

Wait. How do I get the swamp key?

I killed the elder.

[static ruin]

should have dropped it

[plucky hinge]

ugh. I'll have to go back to that spot and hope I can find it.

[static ruin]

it has a sickly teal glow to it

[plucky hinge]

That was a looooong fight.

[lyric mural]

Hi I'm looking server to play

[static ruin]

#1024264966712340510 has listings and you can make your own, dont forget to add tags if you make your own

[paper marsh]

They’ll only get longer 😈

[plucky hinge]

I looked all around where I killed the elder and I do not see a key. 😭

[dull warren]

Kill him again!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

[static ruin]

well, is there a chance you sorted it into a chest without realizing?

or maybe youre like me and it went into your hotbars and you always forget to check those

[dull warren]

I love AzuAutoStore for that, it has a chest search function

[plucky hinge]

...sorted into a chest?? I...didn't know that was a thing.
And hotbars, I just have my 1-8

[static ruin]

i just meant put it into a chest without really registering what it was, but there is a quickstack option now

[dull warren]

THere's mods that autosort, Smart Containers in particular

[static ruin]

ill have to look into that when im looking to play again, that does sound nice because i do 'dump chests' when i get lazy and sometimes this makes me lose things

[plucky hinge]

Oh. I have no addons.

[dull warren]

AzuAutoStore makes containers pick stuff up off the ground, if an item already exists in that container, and then I use Smart Containers, which automatically reroutes loot if you ctrl-click, it's a huge time saver

[static ruin]

that would (hopefully) make me a lot less lazy might be a lifesaver

[opal prairie]

I misplaced my rock. I don't know where it is but I'm certain I picked it up.
I can build the mysterious rock.
I'll have to look trough my chests or run around my base and see if I build it already in some obscure spot and didn't remember becausde I was almost falling asleep or so.

[dim python]

2 star boars drop 4 meats... holy frick...

[prime moth]

now think what happens when you breed 50 of them

[regal cave]

I THINK thats 200 meats

[high coral]

If you breed 2 star boar with 0 star what do you get?

[merry pebble]

Half the time 0 star baby and the other half 2 star baby 🙂

Depends which parent actually gives birth to it, 0 star will produce 0 stars and 2 star produces 2 stars

[high coral]

Interesting, could have been 0 to 2 but this is likely the same in the end

Don't think I've seen 2 star

[merry pebble]

They only have 1% chance to spawn 😄

[high coral]

Can you somehow transport a tamed 2 star to base?

[merry pebble]

Easiest way to transport boars (when on the smae landmass) imo is when they are not yet tamed, since they will actually run after you on their own.When they are tamed its slower but safer, and you can use either harpoon or coridor of fences where you push the boar. When on different landmass you can take them on boat, but its risky.

[plain shard]

does anyone know why sunken crypts literlly dont spawn in my world i looked for them i 5 swamps and nothing was there

[merry pebble]

They ouy were just really unlucky 😄 they spawn in every world. If you continue exploring then you will certainly find some

[high coral]

Harpoon is doable

[plain shard]

but like wheres the sweet spot for big swamps cause i just skip the really small ones

[regal cave]

Just boat till u see them from water

[civic moon]

Is there something special you need for image perms here? Or images just blocked?

[dull warren]

Give me your seed and I can look it up on https://valheim-map.world and give you a general sense of which way to go, without spoiling anything else for you

[merry pebble]

2000 to 6000 meters from world center is where any swamps can generate 🙂

[plain shard]

THERE ARE SEEDS IN THIS GAME

[dull warren]

map seed, yes

[merry pebble]

And you can use the website that will show you your map, but it will rob you of the fun from exploring

-# Even normal seeds...

[plain shard]

where can i look it up

[dull warren]

Yeah that's why I'm suggesing they post their map seed here and someone can look it up and come back with "Go northwest of the spawn, half a day's sail" or somesuch, without spoiling anything else

[dull warren]

It's on one of the loading screens I think

[plain shard]

like to the right from the name

[merry pebble]

You can see it in the menu when you are picking the world you want to play on. Or if you are in game type printseeds into console

[dull warren]

Yeah, where you select the world to load into

[plain shard]

can i send it on priv cause i cant send pics here

[dull warren]

oh sure

[prime moth]

smol swamps are usually the first ones you run into. for me once I start seeing plains I know I’m in an area where a useful swamp will be around

more often than not you can tell from pretty far away though cause swamp terrain is easily identified

if i see a big looking swamp I’ll always park and run around it

[dim python]

is it normal for my 2 star boars be higher maintenanc and not parent as much per cycle

[dull warren]

Not afaik

[dim python]

i think the biggest problem is the space between two boars

if i had four happy boars in the long barn i'd probably do better

[opal prairie]

Do you mind making a auto breeder or do you want to keep it au naturel?
if you don't mind the autobreeder I like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T2aKnEMKd4

[dull warren]

I built a breeder tower, they're freaking awesome

Got wolves and boars up there

I didn't bother for lox though, I'm alrady swimming in lox pelts and meat

lol I have so much lox meat I'm just turning any more I get into coal now

And placing lox rugs everywhere

[dim python]

is the autobreeder a breeding tower?

[opal prairie]

Same, here and I do one for chickens as well.
I make 2 chicken ones, 1 for auto farming chickens, with a fire at the end so they hatch and then when they grow up they fall through a floor and then go pop on some spiky fish.
One for eggs.

[dim python]

if i was farming chickens i'd just spam eggs in a small spot and call the might of thor ⛈️ ⛈️

[opal prairie]

It can be a tower or a building over a pit, or a 2 story thing, you can change it quite easily.

[dim python]

i might not be farming boars much longer for it to be practical 🫠

[sly verge]

Are greydwarfs sleeper op? I was running around black forest testing out dundr when it dawned on me how much better greydwarf drops are than other biome mobs. They drop wood, resin and greydwarf eyes... 3 items you use and need throughout the entire game. Compare that to seekers and charred bros which drop nothing but obliterator food

[opal prairie]

Also works for wolves.

[dull warren]

Yeah I have an auto egg producer and I just light a brazier over top of it if I want chickens

[opal prairie]

Indeed they are, I always make a greydwarf spawner farm.

[dull warren]

I make them just because farming the eyes for fuel is too time consumingm, so I can afk it while I make dinner or do laundry or something

[opal prairie]

I make one were the eggs roll to a warm covered spot.
Then the eggs hatch and the chicks can roam around till they become a hen and when they turn into a hen they drop down and get killed by a spiky fish.
No hassle in killing the chickens.

[dull warren]

lol I like my murder sprees too much

Nothing like slaughtering an entire barn full of chickens/boars/wolves

[opal prairie]

Before I had the auto setup I worked with doors to push them into fire and that was also funny to hear.

[dull warren]

hahaha I have a gaint brain perfectly intact, floating in midair, because I popped the skull around it

[paper marsh]

lol idk how people do it, I’m always swimming in boar and wolf and would never bother taming them 😅

[dim python]

i don't go out of my way to hunt them and tbh now that i have a farm i don't seek them out in the wild

deer 😤 you undomesticable bastards

[tacit crystal]

What biome were you at currently?

[dim python]

looking for moder very slowly

[tacit crystal]

Okay, consider easy trick for gathering deer pelt and leather scraps in biome after mountains: ||at the villages, break roof tiles and tanning racks||.

[dim python]

i have enough hide... and enough meat tbh..

[dull warren]

By that point in the game you have little need of either

[dim python]

it's just that i have to make a point to go out of my way to get them dead for this supply to stay full

[frozen fable]

almost June, I hope Deep North will be released soon

[tacit crystal]

Also possibly Word from Devs blog post next week. 👀

About DN, we shall see.

[plucky hinge]

I'm about to rage quit. I apparently cheezed Elder last time with a stuck spawn and a bunch of fire arrows. But I also apparently didn't get a key from him. So...I have to kill him again and now the entire area is littered with fallen trees and rock rubble. I'm out of arrows, and he's only at 2/3 health. 😭

[dull warren]

You could just spawn in the key maybe?

[plucky hinge]

wat

[tacit crystal]

Melee him, it is quite easy.

If you stay close enough he never spams the ranged attack.

[plucky hinge]

It is? Oh boy. I hope so.

[tacit crystal]

Close range attacks are quite predictable, which are dodgeable/parriable.

Any melee weapon suffice, there is no weaknesses or resistances against physical damage types.

[plucky hinge]

And now a bear has joined in.

[sly verge]

fader down! went in blind, 2 deaths.. 1 was like "wtf just hit me" 1 shot, the other i dropped a meteor on my head with trollstaff lol

he's def easier than queen

[lime condor]

@sly verge Awesome! I was gonna post about killing a bear for the first time, still in leather armor, but now I'm just gonna sit down. lol

[sly verge]

don't kid yourself bro, that is an accomplishment

bear dont belong in 2nd biome for sure

[lime condor]

right??!! Harder than a troll!

i had 4 shield maidens with bows in my group, made it possible. Bears miss alot when attacking on a steep slope. 😁

[sly verge]

brought the whole harem

[rotund dust]

Yes, because something that runs away from a torch, or blatantly runs between two trees and gets hard stuck so you camp fire under him is hard 😂

(ive also killed him naked on day 1 with fists before too) Once you learn the attack pattern, anything is easy

[sly verge]

I mean the hardest fight in the entire game consists of the boss just passively walking up and down the stairs, if you want to put it like that.

I'd say the bear is a tougher fight than anything in the next 3 biomes

[rotund dust]

Thats because it was a later addition to the mob pool vs the original mobs

If it was added with rest of mobs, it would have two attacks 😂

A swipe and a slam like a troll

Which means, before "final release" do the old mobs need attack patterns/combos updated

[silk token]

i LOVE bear, perfect design (except for when he shoves you around and lifts you into the air so you can't dodge or flies off a cliff trying to swipe at you) but the design of weak attack and strong attack in the same mob is genius, he's so interesting to fight

[silk token]

imo bosses too, maybe only elder and bonemass particularly, those fights are so boring they have one melee move

[prime moth]

you're just headed to make a new home in mountains with all your iron? but going back home to farm and cook and stuff? why bring that much iron to mountain?

[sweet pagoda]

#screenshots message wtf is this elder spawner location???

[prime moth]

thats an amazing spawn ngl

no chance of getting 3rd party'd there

[sweet pagoda]

yeah but how will i possibly get back if i die

[prime moth]

i leave a farming base near spawn and then make upgraded bases per biome

[prime moth]

just dont die 🧠

[sweet pagoda]

Shit why didnt I think of that???

[prime moth]

i leave all the upgrades from the previous biome at each base though so i dont need to stick to one

[silk token]

you didnt bring a portal?

[sweet pagoda]

Im gonna leave a checkpoint base nearby but I have no idea where since it's so isolated

[sweet pagoda]

I did

[silk token]

well thats how u get back then

[sweet pagoda]

ohhhhhhh wait you're right

my "checkpoint base" could just be a portal to my main

[silk token]

yeah if u have portals on, your base is your base, and just drop a portal before you do anything crazy

and DONT FIGHT NEAR IT

[sweet pagoda]

I dont have much of an option

[prime moth]

move it lol

i usually make a little hut with some camfires around it for each sketchy portal

[sweet pagoda]

The elder won't swim, will he?

[silk token]

he will

no running away to your portal just fight and die like a viking so he doesnt smash you AND your portal

[sweet pagoda]

I'm no coward, I fight until the end

[silk token]

then doesnt matter if he swims or not XD

[sweet pagoda]

So Ill put a portal at the furthest point that is still easily accessible from his spawner and put any food in my main base should I (most likely) die

[silk token]

nah he's super easy

[sweet pagoda]

I died like 10 times the first time I fought him

[silk token]

oh lol. how?

[sweet pagoda]

I was mostly fighting him ranged and his thorns attack is super hard to dodge, it wasnt until i fought him at melee range that I killed him

[silk token]

gotcha, i figured ranged. most people just play ranged and its hard and they think the game is realy hard so melee must be harder when most of the time it's easier

[sweet pagoda]

Alright im starting the fight, wish me luck

God knows I'll need it with this generous arena

A bear literally JUST spawned ON THE ISLAND

It's an elite one too, one star

[silk token]

its a nice warm up, chop him up, parry his swipe attack

[sweet pagoda]

I just held out a torch and killed him that way

[silk token]

😩

[sweet pagoda]

So it turns out I need 3 seeds when I thought I needed 2, so Im going back to my main base and finding another one

So, I just got the third seed and now it is so stormy the ENTIRE elder island is getting submerged in waves

[prime moth]

an epic battle to be had

[sweet pagoda]

First try elder let's fucking go

It was a close one, his stomps have a deceptively large aoe

[sweet pagoda]

It was so badass fighting him with the storm in the background, the storm also cleared the moment he died

Really felt like an elden ring boss with how cinematic it was

[oak river]

Just hide behind the unbreakable stone pillars to avoid his ranged attack

[plucky hinge]

"Hallon cuddles you"
I don't think I'll survive these cuddles.

[sweet pagoda]

That's what I did, I mostly just attacked his feet with my melee then retreated behind one to heal when I got too low.

[tepid prawn]

Very fun to fight in melee imo, ranged it less exciting. I kinda like all the bossfights

[sweet pagoda]

Both times Ive fought the Elder so far have been so cinematic: my first time, after the fight was done there was a gargantuan crater around his arena, and this time the storm made eveything look so badass and occasionally submerged the entire island in water, and when the Elder died the storm cleared at the same time

[sweet pagoda]

It was super fun both times, when I fought him ranged I had to hide behind trees, rocks or other obstacles every time he did his thorns attack, and towards the end I ran out of arrows and went berserk on his feet, and when I did it melee this time he was a lot easier but the fight was elevated by the insane storm

[azure crag]

How the progress about deep north?

[tepid prawn]

when we know it will be in #news channel and the devs are also possibly giving news about something (don't know if Deep North related or not) on June 7 there might be some news then

When we actually know a date when its coming it will be all over the internet will probably hard to miss, but no news yet

[prime moth]

i'm considering going joelikki mode for yagluth this time around

and making a crystal baxe

i'm not a super fan of the swords anymore, polearms are gonna be my main

gonna lightning poker the ashlands if i get there this time around

[prime moth]

or..... how does everyone think the vile fist weapons do vs yagluth?

[prime moth]

there i was.... hoping for wolves to show up so i could make my wolf cloak

i should NOT have asked.... the hunt was on

[dull warren]

Clubs are great with the wolf event

It knocks them back

[soft path]

It’ll do just fine. Not the strongest weapon to use against him but I’m sure you’ll still have a great time.

[prime moth]

i stg i found some kind of mountain hell spawn.... i've fought 3 golems trying to mine one vein. and like 6+ drakes/wolves

[knotty cave]

Hell yea, that sounds like a good time.

[prime moth]

no i am straight up NOT having a good time

that being said there are liek 5 veins right here so i'll have to accept it

[knotty cave]

Atleast you’re finding them?

I’ve had to find 2 mountain biomes. 3 silver veins total between them

[prime moth]

yeah i'm definitely counting my blessings up here

sometimes they are wayyyy spread out and it sucks a lot

[prime moth]

JFC i should start a tally lmao

it's been like... 8 golems now and 2 hunts

[knotty cave]

[prime moth]

can i stop the party somehow 😂

[final bloom]

Important to say if you have mods etc when asking others to join ur game

[knotty cave]

Moder Assist anyone????

Will fight multiple times if you have eggs to sac

Vanilla world

@analog hearth ?

[analog hearth]

sorry I can't
I know the feeling though

[dark coyote]

bout to start a no ship run

[desert mauve]

js docked in the ashlands for the first time, absolutely brutal

[tepid prawn]

Going to use cart to go Ashlands? Haha

I don’t think you can go Ashlands without ship first time unless I missed something

[desert mauve]

i think if an island were to spawn close enough to the ash barrier, you could bounce between spkes

[tepid prawn]

I have never seen a spike you can swim to from a nearby island on the 25ish seeds I played and the 200plus I looked at on map viewer, easy to get to with karve even yes but not swimming through heated water

[analog hearth]

rip

[tepid prawn]

I’ve gone to Ashlands a few times with Karve pre queen

[analog hearth]

how painful was it

[tepid prawn]

Sometimes okay, sometimes the spikes were further apart and it took ages to build a part to jump across and get closer to actual land

Sometimes attacked by 0 serpents until I made it to land, sometimes by about 6 or 7 lol

Bring at least 4 portals lol

The only boss that locks lots of progress is Moder, there is workaround for all other ones

[shadow finch]

Doesn't the elder drop the key for the crypts?

[tepid prawn]

Yes

[shadow finch]

Than woudn't the elder lock the most progression since iron is the most essential thing in Valheinm?

[knotty cave]

How so? I just died to Moder bc my bow broke ;-; what’s he holding me back from?

[shadow finch]

You need his drop to make quite a lot of important stuff

[tepid prawn]

No you can get iron from Oozer, piles of iron buried in swamp, and lots of iron in 6th biome and some in 7th

[sweet pagoda]

The swamp scares me

Can you teleport ore bars through portals?

[shadow finch]

no

[knotty cave]

Depends on setting or portal type.

Stone ports yes I think

[sweet pagoda]

Well shit

[tepid prawn]

There is a lot of food that you can't made without Moder drop, there is also a metal you cannot process without Moder drop, and this will in turn unlock other crafting station things etc, it locks from a new (spoiler) playstyle completely in 6th biome as well because of that, its a ton and no workaround

[sweet pagoda]

The island I put my swamp base on does not have a nearby black forest I can get copper from

[tepid prawn]

just sail some down

[sweet pagoda]

Exactly what I was gonna do

Just load the resources for a forge onto a karve

[shadow finch]

I turned on teleporting everything portal after my first time sailing back with ores from the swamp

[tepid prawn]

default settings will not let you teleport metals(ore and bars) and also a few other items

[shadow finch]

It was such a chore and a massive waste of time of doing nothing since traveling in a boat is boring asf

[sweet pagoda]

I put a smelter in my swamp base and I just use a portal to transport charcoal

But I'm gonna need to ship over the copper for a forge

[tepid prawn]

I often find new base spots, interesting biome borders, meat from sea monsters, chitin and other stuff sailing, and love the atmosphere on the ocean

[shadow finch]

Chitin you run out of usages after the first 3 ones you find

Serpents spawn once in a blue moon

[sweet pagoda]

It's nice but I most like watching my home island slowly fade away and looking at nearby islands

[tepid prawn]

yes but sometimes it takes me quite long to find the first few levi especially on a server

[shadow finch]

True enough but I think the Ocean biome in general is severly lacking

[tepid prawn]

love that too or coming home with a big haul

[sweet pagoda]

The swamp is also very pretty, the tree monsters scare tf out of me though

[shadow finch]

its quite harmless tho

[tepid prawn]

they make good armour though, also they can be cheesed with fire arrows or fought well if you eat good food and have a decent slash weapon, bear claws or erly axes or even bronze sword is okay to fight them with

[sweet pagoda]

Well I happen to have a lvl 3 bear claws and full bear set

Im just scared of them because they're big, scary looking and do not stop chasing

[tepid prawn]

there is also another really advanced trick... if you are near a fire geyser thing

if you manage to parry one while its standing on a surtling geyser thing they will literally melt in seconds

[sweet pagoda]

Who knew the tree would die to fire

[tepid prawn]

its very satisfying haha

maybe not super easy to perfectly pull off for a new player without getting stuck somewhere or panicking haha

[sweet pagoda]

Also idk how I could return to other survival games after playing Valheim

This game is the perfect survival game in my head

[tepid prawn]

Its possible haha, but it raises the standard a lot, many other survival games are not good enough to compete imho

also lots of people find biome 6 and 7 too hard even on normal settings

[sweet pagoda]

Well so far it's been just about everything i love about survival games

Except losing everything on death, that's the one thing I despise about many survival games

[tepid prawn]

Exploration and base building are great and also the fighting is nice, you can set it to keep equipped items in world modifier settings if you want

[sweet pagoda]

That I'm definitely gonna change

[prime moth]

is silver sword better than mistwalker in ashlands?

[dark coyote]

theres a video of a guy who gets gut punched by a golem, but jumps a split second before he gets hit, and it knocks him all the way to the ashlands.

[tepid prawn]

Not sure how well that could be reproduced wil also need a specific seed probably

[tepid prawn]

Personal opinion, quite similar, silver uses less stamina, depends a bit on monster you are currently fighting and their weakness etc, mistwalker damage type works very well there too. For charred specifically the silver might be a tad better and for ask etc the mist will be a bit better, I haven't done the math but the difference for some monsters is not as big as you'd think and overall because a lot of the enemies are charred!

[prime moth]

dang lv 4 silver sword, lv 3 armor set, and shield and i still got 60 silver left over

[sweet pagoda]

I hate wraiths so much

[shadow finch]

dw we all do

[wraith belfry]

Oh dear.
I had a bit if a fubar last night.
I was sailing around some islands and noticed a very flat looking island in the distance. Figured it might be a swamp I sailed across the water to check it out.
It turned out to be two huge swamps. With a large section of shallow water separating them.
I sailed along the edge of one of them trying to find the edge of it to set down.
So kept going, and slowly the sun set.
I figured so long as I was away from the shore, I wouldn't have a problem. But the water was so shallow wraith started spawning near the boat. And they would chase me and hit the boat. I managed to outrun it. But then, out in the middle of the water i came across a structure, it looked like a hut surrounded by headstones. As i passed by a bunch of draugrs came out and shot arrows at me.
At this point I really started to sweat. My boat didnt have unlimited health. So it would have to have been dwindling.

I got out of range of the draugr, but then another wraith spawned

[shadow finch]

silver is actually the least required metal since there isn't any construction use for it

[wraith belfry]

The swamp shallows showed no sign of ending I thought I'd gave to keep running till daybreak.
But this wraith seemed faster. It kept catching up and hitting the boat.

I was really sweating.
Then the worst happened.
My boat broke and sank andbi was in the water.
The swamp shoreline wasn't far away. So I had to swim for it.
But the wraith wasn't letting me escape. And I couldn't fight it in the water.
So it was able to finally claim me.

I really have no idea how I'm getting that stuff back.
Aside from making a whole new boat/armour/weapons.

😭

[sweet pagoda]

The abominations look so cool, they remind me of the gonarch from hl1

[high coral]

Probably just new boat and some older armor would be good enough and going there during a day

[hoary latch]

Same 😂

[chrome badge]

There's 2 things that give me the creeps no matter how far along I am in Valheim, when a Leviathan starts to sink, and when Abominations stomp their way out of the mud.

[high coral]

what's the fastest and most economic way to put down a place to sleep?

to build it i mean

[wraith belfry]

I usually just find a pre-existing structure

Then all it costs is a crafting bench, a bed, and a fire

[high coral]

not what i was looking for

old structures also often needs repairing, adding roof etc

[molten tinsel]

like 36 wood for a 2x1 with a bed and roof

[silk token]

places that count as bed sheltered without adding any roof or walls: troll cave mouth, under one of those stone teepee things in meadows, inside a skull, under a ribcage, dig into a large stone. worst case a 1x2 box with a roof over it like a little coffin.

[wraith belfry]

But dont you still need the craft table and a fire?

[high coral]

1x2 box will do i suppose

[silk token]

oh also under bf crypts, theres probly more POIs forgetting. but ya the box isnt hard either. no free sleeping. might be fun to be able to sleep on the ground but with consequences like in green hell

idk what the consequence would be.. 10 minute “tired” debuff little worse than being wet?

[high coral]

digging into a stone is an interesting option

also one to alert everyone to my position

[dull warren]

Also ancient roots and there's even some trees in the swamp that count as shelter, but just barely

[half walrus]

I went 1 step in the black forest i died

[dull warren]

psht I got you beat, my first time even getting close to the black forest, a troll ran out of it to the meadows and oneshotted me

[paper marsh]

Best stick to meadows for the rest of the game then

Jk

[half walrus]

Meadows is trash

[dull warren]

Meadows is safe

[half walrus]

Like i hate it

[high coral]

so you just started playing and hate the first biome?

[paper marsh]

Hmm, but you’re the only one who’s in that meadows… so if it’s trash… gasp youve been littering the beautiful world of Valheim!

[dull warren]

Beautiful? It's a damned Viking purgatory...

[dim python]

one good option is to put a workbench, 5 walls, a door, a bed and a chest in the mouth of a troll cave. 🤓

very permanent too

[high coral]

why not a garden while we're at it? 😄

[dull warren]

I use troll caves for AFKing here and there, raids will never happen in them

[half walrus]

Smelter hard to get

[dim python]

not really.

[high coral]

i do love troll caves

[silk token]

you dont even need walls its all sheltered workbenches can work and you can sleep fine

[dim python]

maybe not a garden but consider a deer rug for a bit of comfort

[half walrus]

Korm why

[dim python]

the walls are just to keep out graydwarves

and to look pretty 🌼

[half walrus]

Just have to gear up to go to the black forest

[dull warren]

Also learn how to fight trolls and bears, the rest of the enemies are pretty easy in the bf

[dim python]

to be serious for a moment

4 walls around a workbench with two rooves so you can use it. 5 walls around a bed with roof likewise, one wall open so you can enter an exit. consider a chest. fire put mandatory

[dim python]

graydwarf brute 😱 you bastard

[high coral]

managed to sleep with 4 26 degree roofs put on a tree and a bed underneath but the second time it wouldn't work properly

[dim python]

the method i described is easier to teach and a little more practical

[dull warren]

Damn, outta healing meads... I guess I'm not going back to fight that gjall yet...

Sometimes the ambient sound in this game really sucks. I'm in a cleared out troll cave but I can hear skeletons and wraiths, they're added as sound effects for mood. I don't think I should be hearing skeletons at all if there's none nearby

It's especially bad in the swamp

I can't tell the difference between a legit sound cue and an ambient effect

[errant harness]

It could be possible the Skelly sound is put in with the ambiance sounds instead of it being tied to the skellies themselves

There are however MANY MANY skellies in the swamp so I could see how they would be constantly making noise

[dull warren]

In the swamp it's more hearing things sloshing in the water, imo I shouldn't be hearing that unless there's something near me actually sloshing in the water

It's fine if the game doesn't use sound cues as a mechanic at all, but Valheim does

[high coral]

what bothers is if i get two biome songs overlapping each other

[wraith belfry]

I think that's the idea.
Its supposed to be keeping you on edge.

[dull warren]

Well I disagree with that game design principle. All it does is teach me that sound cues are useless in this game, and then later turns around in the mistlands and teaches me they aren't. They need to pick a lane imo.

Actually, the mountains too

[wraith belfry]

Ive always kinda liked it
Makes me keep looking over my shoulder

[high coral]

abyssal razor is pretty good but that low durability....

[dull warren]

I just stop looking over my shoulder based on sound cues

[wraith belfry]

They've taken a safe out of the horror handbook to give you ambient sound effects for enemies that aren't there.
You hear the sound, then your checking your surroundings for danger.

Thats prolly why I like it. Lol

[high coral]

it does have that effect

i managed to filter it out after a while

[dull warren]

Not for me, I just learned to ignore them in the swamp, that's why I don't like them. In crypts too, even when they're completely cleared out, you can still hear skeletons moving around.

That should be a cue for "there are still more skeletons in here"

Or not exist at all

[high coral]

there isn't a rule that says that it has to be that way

[dull warren]

Or, be sufficiently different from the sound of a skeleton moving that it's easy to tell the difference, that would work too

[dull warren]

Well yeah, this is just my opinion of course

[high coral]

in crypts the sounds tell whether there's more enemies or not, so it's not consistent

[dull warren]

exactly my point

[high coral]

i like the idea being in a forest and hearing creepy sounds, and not knowing where they are

also noticed that even player character is making sloshing sounds in swamp which is confusing

[high coral]

perhaps they reevaluted this later but didn't find it important to change previous dungeons

or worthwhile

[dull warren]

Yes, it's the inconsistency that bothers me, not the presence or absence of effects and/or cues at all

[half walrus]

@dull warren I'm back

76

[silk token]

its all ambiance, if you look into the water next to you paranoid the game is doing its job, you’re supposed to experience the biome not win the biome. but also if you do want to minmax your ears there is a difference between swamp ambiance and leeches alerting, and crypt ambiance and skeletons clacketying if you know what it sounds like

[dull warren]

hrm, maybe I just haven't trained my ears well enough to tell the difference then. But assuming this is true, I'd argue it's an accessibility issue for people with not-so-great hearing (which fortunately doesn't include me)

They sound the same to me

I'll listen more though

[silk token]

when its REALLY bad is mistlands, they definitely put bug sounds in lightning, and the rabbits sound like bugs sometimes, when you cant SEE ANYTHING and doing your best to hear bugs to maybe find a dungeon but its constant bug noises that i hate

that doesn’t add to any ambiance, unless the ambiance is blind and hopeless

[dull warren]

Well at least the gjalls are unmistakeable

[silk token]

hehe yeah

[dull warren]

They did good work on that one

[silk token]

and if you’re lucky you can hear ticks to find bones

[tough grove]

Hi, I'm just getting into Valheim and I'm having trouble with the rotation key for building... Actually, I can't figure out where to change it, because when I use the mouse wheel to rotate, it also zooms the camera in and out from my character's perspective. Does anyone know how to change this?

[dull warren]

If there's a build hologram, the build piece will rotate. If there is no hologram, the camera zooms.

[tough grove]

Okay, I guess it is a little confusing, I have to admit, but if that's the only way it works, then so be it.

[hoary latch]

One of those swamp sounds always fools me during my leech hunts

[dull warren]

So if you've got a hologram pointed and you need to zoom, you need to move the recticle far enough away so the hologram disappears, and then you can zoom

[tough grove]

Ok thank for your help

[dull warren]

It would be nice if alt-scroll would still zoom if a hologram was active

Or something like that

[tough grove]

It's true that even just being able to change the zoom in/out system or the rotation button would have been nice to avoid that, but I guess I'll get used to it over time

[dull warren]

In general this game needs a LOT more options for keybinds imo

I installed a whole mod just to change the dodge keybind

[tough grove]

Okay, I'll see how it goes over time thank again

[high coral]

happens a lot with games that are ported to all consoles

there are mods out there that fix this issue afaik

[ionic elk]

That's probably the kind of thing they will have the time for after 1.0 ships

[high coral]

i didn't try valheim with gamepad, how is dodge bound there?

[dull warren]

No idea lol, I changed it to Mouse4 so I can dodge with my thumb, but also because this mouse's RMB is a bit wonky (which is a perfect example of why these keybind options are needed)

[high coral]

you could do something similar with ahk - give any button ability to do block+jump when pressed

then you just press direction + that button

[dull warren]

🐧 here

[high coral]

nothing similar to ahk on linux?

[dull warren]

Theoretically I can change all the mouse functions I want but it's... fragile

It's not done with the mouse driver but with the human interface subsystem

And I've already got a few wacky alterations like making caps lock another modifier and stuff so it would get ugly

[high coral]

that wouldn't do, you don't want to do global changes

razer or similar apps not available on linux?

[dull warren]

Just change the start shortcut to launch a shell script from a wrapper first, easy enough for me theoretically because I do that kinda shit for a living

[high coral]

well, linux gaming still have stuff to work on

[dull warren]

Which exactly why I don't want to worry about that when I'm not working lol

[dull warren]

Actually, gaming on Linux is pretty amazing these days, thanks mostly to Valve

I still check taht every game I buy is reported in the field to run well on Linux first, but I can't recall the last time that was a problem

[high coral]

i heard that but i consider binding and automation for accessibility reasons an important part of gaming, exactly due to reasons like this. Devs don't consider binds important enough

[dull warren]

It's common especially with smaller studios, they don't hire enough UX people

[high coral]

some large studios too, be the line between a small and big is difficult to draw

i play smaller studios games mostly as well

[dull warren]

Iron gate has a half dozen or so, that qualifies as small for sure lol

[high coral]

true, how many big companies are there actually?

[dull warren]

I was honestly hoping for a better UI, I've got a few thousand hours playing Satisfactory, also published by Coffee Stain, and the UI for that game is awesome

[high coral]

ought to give that one a try

[dull warren]

It's a great automation game that knows it's an automation game, not a survival game

[high coral]

don't know a game that couldn't use some improvement when it comes to binds or UI in one way or another

[dull warren]

Absolutely gorgeous handcrafted map

[high coral]

like let's say Skyrim, which is definitely a large studio game, the UI+binds are atrocious for PC

[dull warren]

lol never played Skyrim actually

Satisfactory uses like, fully half of the keyboard's alphanumeric keys, at least, and they still nailed the console release from day one

[high coral]

divinity original sin games did it pretty well as well - not that demanding though

then there's traditional roguelike games that use whole alphanumeric keyboard

good luck putting it on gamepad

[dull warren]

heh I think the biggest complaint with that console release was setting percentage sliders, they didn't have a text entry box for them on console, and sometimes you need to set it to something like 16.13765%, which obviously isn't possible by just moving a slider

[high coral]

i have the impression that dodging was made more difficult for purpose, with 3 button combination. Since there's no reason not do it like most other games do with just direction+jump

nvm, i guess i'm wrong there

[dull warren]

Oh, agreed, I understand why it's the default, but I need a new mouse because my RMB is finicky so I just... didn't dodge half the time

[high coral]

would need a separate keybind for dodge to use anyway

[dull warren]

But even then, I don't agree with the ideaof making certain moves difficult by making the key combination tougher to hit. I think that should be a player choice.

It's too... meta for me

[high coral]

well at least for mouse/kb the option is to either give it a new trigger or use the existing ones

there isn't any convenient one, since ctrl or alt aren't that great

[dull warren]

Or, allow me to set my own keybind

I mean just in general, allowing universal keybind reassignment just makes the game more accessible, especially for left handed people and anyone with any kind of arthritis (and yes there are people that play this game who are old enough that arthritis can be an issue)

[high coral]

for sure, can't argue with that

[dull warren]

But I suppose they haven't really put much effort into accessibility yet, I've already had to turn up the gamma in crypts because the eye strain was too much for me

To be fair, that may yet be on their road map

[high coral]

seen Smiffe say on this discord something along the lines that they will have time for qol after release

[plucky hinge]

Coming in a bit late to the convo and my caffeine hasn't quite kicked in, but us Lefties appreciate being mentioned. 🙂
I am a rare left-handed person that mouses with my left hand. I have an ancient Ideazon Fang keypad that I use with my right hand for WASD and the like. Once that thing finally stops working, I'm in trouble.

[dull warren]

I'm not, but half my family is, so I know more about southpaw struggles than most.

[plucky hinge]

In a rare synchronicity, my husband is also left-handed.

[high coral]

i can't even imagine how i'd play games with left hand

[dull warren]

heh I do actually mount a bicycle "left handed", because my mother (left handed) taught me. I cannot for the life of me mount a bike from my right foot. And I'm a switch hitter.

[high coral]

just googled that fang and it looks pretty good

[dull warren]

And mounting a bike with your left foot, in a right hand drive country, means you're on the traffic side of your bike, not the sidewalk side

[plucky hinge]

I had an even more rare left-handed ergonomic Razer Deathadder mouse. It started to die, and Razer stopped making them. 💔
I tried a bunch of "ambidextrous" mice and found that they didn't have side buttons on both sides or other annoying failures. Found a beautiful lightweight Logitech mouse with true ambidextrous buttons. They attach via magnets and come with flat placeholders to cover the opposite side. I love it so much that I may buy a second one in case this one dies.

[dull warren]

Calling a mouse ambidextrous if it only has side buttons on one side is patently false advertising

[plucky hinge]

There are communities dedicated to talking about the Fang and the related Merc keyboard. There is a 3d printed mechanical version out there, but the price point is too rich for my blood at the moment.

[high coral]

i should get me something similar, seen stuff like that but didn't pay it much mind so far

[dull warren]

I'm getting my sister a "left handed hammer" as a gag gift for xmas this year lol

But at the same time, a left handed paring knife, because her husband doesn't believe her that paring kinves are usually made for right handed people

I'll show him!

[high coral]

i have a saucepan that is apparently made for lefties

[plucky hinge]

This is the mouse I use. I bet it's discontinued, too.
