valheim-help

[hollow lance]

thx

[short cosmos]

why are u using mods for teleporting everything, when u can just use world modifiers in the game 🤨

[umbral sandal]

hey guys ive just reached the ashlands and built a small little base inside one of the stone structures but i have no idea on what to do next

[buoyant peak]

Do the exact same thing you did in the six previous biomes

[gray olive]

Hello! With a friend we created a valheim server to play together. It was my friend who created it and when I connect to it alone without my friend the map is not saved and is reset. How can I fix this problem?
Thx ; )

[subtle parrot]

If your friend is hosting locally through their game, then you can't connect when they're not online.

[gray olive]

And there is no way I can log in alone?

[steep tusk]

Only if he switches it to a dedicated server.

[frosty frost]

If he is hosting on his pc then no, all progress is saved on his device

[gray olive]

Ok thx 😉

[gray olive]

And if he does that the map will always be saved or he will have to start from the beginning?

[steep tusk]

If he uploads the current map files to said dedicated server after creating it, the map will be preserved and continued.

[gray olive]

All right 😉

[regal ocean]

Is the stagbreaker a good upgrade from the flint spear?

[true steeple]

Against groups it can be better but against single targets (and especially trolls who are weak to pierce and resistant to blunt), no.

[regal ocean]

Ok thanks

[orchid matrix]

should i tame wolves at the beginning using wooden fences (like after i just started i go to the mountains that are near the spawn)? like are wolves that good?

[steep tusk]

A massive hammer is not an upgrade from a spear given they are completely different classes of weapon.

[tired root]

Wolves are hella strong at that state of game, mountain is 4th biome. Taming is possible, but you probably would end up dead quickly if you have just started the game.

[orchid matrix]

lol

couldn't i lure them in a cage made out of wooden fences by entering it and jumping outside?

or they ain't strong enough?

[tired root]

I mean, it is possible to lure them inside fences but if they keep being alerted they try break out and chase you.

[orchid matrix]

ain't that snowy thing mountain biome?

[mortal glade]

pit traps are best for taming wolves in my experience

[tired root]

Yes, that is mountain.

[orchid matrix]

how to make pit traps too?

[tired root]

It would be better to dig a pit, but you would need to beat the first boss.

[orchid matrix]

ok thx

[mortal glade]

dig

[orchid matrix]

so i just need to defeat the first boss and than i can craft shovel?

[mortal glade]

you need to craft pickaxe to dig

[tired root]

Pickaxe.

[mortal glade]

pickaxe - for digging & mining

[orchid matrix]

oh so i unlock pickaxe after beating the first boss?

[tired root]

Correct.

[mortal glade]

yup , pick up the antler it drops

[orchid matrix]

okok so i just make myself a lil house get the basic stuff and than i can defeat the first boss right? or i gotta upgrade the equipment?

[mortal glade]

depends how well you fight , but higher upgrade equips makes u tankier

some fight naked so theres that

[tired root]

It is recommendable to get some gear and good foods for the bosses.

[orchid matrix]

Lol

[orchid matrix]

what food is good for bosses? like cooked meat is fine?

[tired root]

Cooked meat for the fist boss is fine, as you are not able to make better foods yet.

[mortal glade]

I'd go for boar meat , deer meat , lizard tail thing for 1st biome

[tired root]

2 meats and 1 stamina food and you have quite balanced hp and stamina.

[orchid matrix]

should i go with bow or melee for bosses too?

[tired root]

You can have both.

[orchid matrix]

right lol

thx guys

[steep tusk]

You should do what you, personally, feel like doing because it is your world.

How we play the game should have no bearing on your choices 👍

[orchid matrix]

ok

[mortal glade]

yup so go fight naked

prove you're a true viking !!

[orchid matrix]

I'll for sure, I'll chose the path of the berserk

[agile frigate]

Can I max level my fishing skills and then join my friends server? It’s very tedious to level

[short cosmos]

yea

it won't make a big difference since it's still a pain in the ass to fish and if ur catching high quality fish u will need good stamina food still

[finite yoke]

I did honey, cooked dear, cooked boar and crude bow w/ flint arrows for eikthyr

Honey is semi-easy to acquire, just have to find a beehive

[steep tusk]

Character stats are stored on the character, not the world.

[regal ocean]

I know lol. I was simply asking which is better

[steep tusk]

Neither.

[regal ocean]

So helpful

[steep tusk]

You find honest, accurate information to be unhelpful?

Life is going to be an interesting journey for you.

[short cosmos]

Hammer good for helping find ore, good for aoe against many enemies, sucks against single target
Spear can be thrown, bad for aoe against many enemies, good against single target

both have different uses and neither is better than the other

[tired root]

Different tools for different situations. 2h hammers are better against groups of enemies with its AoE damage and spears are better for single targets as they are fast and can be thrown.

[steep tusk]

both have different uses and neither is better than the other

[regal ocean]

This single statement is far more helpful than your others😂 why couldn’t you have just started with this

[regal ocean]

Ty

[steep tusk]

I did.

[regal ocean]

Ty

[steep tusk]

they are completely different classes of weapon.

==

both have different uses and neither is better than the other

[regal ocean]

You replied “neither” with absolutely no context. How is that helpful?

[steep tusk]

Because it is accurately stating that neither is better while giving you the respect of not assuming you're incapable of drawing your own conclusions from the information provided.

If you wish me to be disrespectful when helping, I can change my behaviour accordingly.

I provide information.
I don't tell you how to think.

Telling you how to interpret the information is a disservice to you.

[hardy latch]

I can’t find the plains boss I’ve searched to long

Any tips

[steep tusk]

No one will fault you for using the map generator website given how difficult that boss is to find.

[hardy latch]

Do I need the seed for that

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[hardy latch]

Thank you

[steep tusk]

👍

[tired root]

Have you searched stonehenge looking stone formations? They can possibly have a vegvisir.

They are somewhat rare thought.

[short cosmos]

search all stone-like structures

[hardy latch]

Yeah I’ve searched 5 plains biomes

[tired root]

At least the boss altar is noticeable with certain looking stone pillars.

[steep tusk]

Most people I know find the boss before they find the veg 😄

[tired root]

It is usually the case that you find the altar first before the veg.

[regal ocean]

That’s fair, I see where you’re coming from. But I literally just started playing and am very ignorant to how the weapons in this game work. I have no idea which ones are best for certain situations and if one is better than the other. I don’t see it as a disservice to provide me with a little bit more information when I’m asking for help. Which you have now done so thank you.

[steep tusk]

Individual enemies and bosses will sometimes have a best weapon specific to them.
But in the general sense, play with every weapon until you find the style you like and then just main that weapon for the rest of the game.

[regal ocean]

So if I wanted to, I could just main the flint spear for the entirety of the game?😂

[steep tusk]

Could, yes.
But there is a spear in almost every biome so it would be recommended you just upgrade to the next tech level of spear as you progress.

Spears are my personal favorite weapon at this time.

Highest attack speed in the game goes brrrrrrr.

[tired root]

Aren't spears as fast as knives?

Or knives slightly faster.

But I agree, spears are very good.

[nocturne maple]

Close, but no. Knife has three animations vs spear one animation. Spear is only faster than knife finisher.

[tired root]

Yeah, I had to check that and at least 2 first hits of knife combo are faster than one spear hit.

[steep tusk]

Exactly.
Spears not having an attack chain is what makes them so fast.

[tired root]

Finisher was a bit slower but barely.

[steep tusk]

And the alt fire is technically their finisher if you use the fast attacks to stagger and then just explode them with the throw. 😁

[tired root]

I like usually initiate with spear throw and depending on the target if it gets staggered I run at it, pick my spear and finish it quickly.

[steep tusk]

I usually only throw it at deer 😄

[tired root]

Yep, I haven't made crude bow since I learned to throw spear.

[short cosmos]

yea spear is the best wep early on bc u can also use it as a bow

[steep tusk]

Rest of the time it is stabby-stab.

[nocturne maple]

Harpoon is best spear bow. One hit for birds. Two hits for deathsquitos (one with sneak).

[steep tusk]

Real vikings kick squitos to kill them 🙂

[nocturne maple]

Too much lag to know if they may kick me first

[steep tusk]

Playing with lag

[tired root]

I like to throw it at leeches in swamp, it's quite safe that way.

[nocturne maple]

Yeah. Also works well with leeches, but I just hoe their floor to beach them.

[honest cedar]

Its not a bug, its a feature!

[delicate condor]

I did not discover it on the map, but I did see some deep north terrain getting generated on the horizon; I went straight back, but did I spoil the spawn of my world when they'll update Deep North now?

[frosty frost]

If its only small part nothing should happen 🙂

[tired root]

Probably you will be alright. There can be similar terrain changes that moves landmasses further North like how Ashlands was formed.

[short cosmos]

I think as long as it didn't say Deep North like ur discovering a new biome u will be fine

but if u want to get the fishing hat u will need to go to the deep north for one of the fish

[tired root]

In that case going as East/West edge seems like good spot to "generate" as little landmass there as possible.

[regal ocean]

What should I build first, smelter or charcoal kiln?

[frosty frost]

If you have only 5 cores then kiln, then when you have enough coal destroy kiln and build smelter to smelt metal 🙂

[regal ocean]

Cool thanks

Do burial chambers ever reset the loot? Or are they one and done

[small canopy]

The mushrooms come back but the cores and chests don't

[regal ocean]

What’s the little arrow on the mini map?

[desert monolith]

Wind direction.

[regal ocean]

Ahhh. Important for when I get a boat?

[frosty frost]

Yep 🙂

[formal condor]

how much iron is enough iron ?

[little trench]

like a full inventory of longship, id say

[formal condor]

was not enough

[tired root]

There is no such as "enough iron" in this game.

[formal condor]

heh i knew it, well a long ship only got me upgraded XD

[little trench]

yea if you're using iron beams you prolly have to farm more, but just if you wanna make some weapon and maybe armor then full longship is enough

and im assuming u play solo

full longship is 540 iron and upgraded iron set is 150 iron

[short cosmos]

upgraded iron set not worth making

[little trench]

well whatever thats another discussion

[formal condor]

i mean worth or not im just doing first playthrough

[tired root]

That depends on the player. For newer players having more armor can be more comfortable.

[little trench]

ya id def say for new players just go max raw armor

[formal condor]

hard to play when planning a building and gathering materials takes more than the building itself XD

[short cosmos]

I'm a new player and I used troll armor up to mountains (and still do on new playthroughs) 🙂

[agile rapids]

Does the staff of protection block pure damage?

[little trench]

true its a huge process

[true steeple]

I make iron armor because even with all my playtime that wolf raid scares me

[little trench]

ya m8 ur a god gamer

[formal condor]

i maxed iron pants and vest then got root helm with troll cape all maxed sitting like mkay now to spend one afternoon after work to collect more iron then another to smelt and build then i assume next will be arena for bonemass and then seeing if i can get silver

[little trench]

yea valheim can be one of those games where its like a long adventure

[formal condor]

i mean i like it just takes a ton of time

[drowsy crane]

I still use Troll armor all the way to Ashlands 🥷

#screenshots message

[little trench]

lmao nice

[short cosmos]

nice

[formal condor]

nice

[tired root]

Doing a challenge?

[drowsy crane]

👌 it's the ultimate no risk armor set imo 😅

Plenty of stealth to probe new lands

[frosty frost]

As someone who never builds with the iron beams i can say that 1 longship is enough only if you dont upgrade you gear and dont make many reinforced chest 🙂 optimal for solo player would be around 2 full longships imo

[drowsy crane]

Nothing to worry about losing

[little trench]

those low tier weaps tho, damn. gotta be very dmg spongy

[drowsy crane]

I managed to hop pillar to pillar all the way until I found land, and took down many voltures & charred with just a finewood bow & silver arrows ✊

[little trench]

iirc i only have to go for more iron after im done with mistlands

i just make upgraded iron helm, like 2 iron weaps and some reinforced chests

anyway yea u have to farm iron a lot

[drowsy crane]

Iron can be quite a pain, but it's worth putting a days focus into at the end of the day

[tired root]

Dunno, I quite enjoy the iron haul when progressing swamps, I usually carry forge and upgrade mats with me so I can smelt and craft iron items in there. Then usually I have my desired iron equipment upgraded, the boat full of iron when I eventually leave after hauling the whole swamp from all crypts I found.

[little trench]

same

[drowsy crane]

I just run around like a naked lunatic & prep a boat and enough chests full to go back and fourth 3 times, then I put on some sailing music and hit the ocean for an hour or so.

[teal robin]

can some help ?

[tough hare]

It would be nice if you actually tell us what the problem is.
Makes it a lot easier as when we have to do some wild guesses.

[gloomy dagger]

how do i bring a tame boar from another continent?

specifically, i have a harpoon, what do?

[frosty frost]

Pull on boat, sail 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

do i keep it attached to the harpoon the whole voyage?

[frosty frost]

Not necessary i believe 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

will it jump off the side of the boat?

[frosty frost]

Only if it sees an enemy

[gloomy dagger]

how do i get it onto the boat exactly

[frosty frost]

Make a ramp from wood above the boat and push/pull them on 🙂

[regal ocean]

Do you ever get to carry more than 300lbs?

[frosty frost]

Oh yes

[regal ocean]

Can you in the first biome? Currently farming tin and copper

[buoyant peak]

You can in any biome when you get the item that allows you to do it found in the second biome

[frosty frost]

If you are farming copper then you are in second biome 🙂 and there you will eventually find trader that will sell a thing to increase carry weight

[regal ocean]

Oh is Black Forest the 2nd biome?

[frosty frost]

Yep, first is meadows where you spawn

[regal ocean]

Ahhhhhh ok. Well time to go find the trader then

Thanks

Is 1 ruby enough?

[desert monolith]

No

[regal ocean]

How many should I bring

[frosty frost]

you can sell those when you find the trader, you need 950 gold for the thing

[desert monolith]

Cost is 950.

[regal ocean]

Ok thanks guys

[steep tusk]

All of them.

MOARRRR

[gloomy dagger]

my boar is low healt, i cant risk harpooning it again, how do i heal it?

i gave it food and it is healing at a rate of +0 per tick

[frosty frost]

That happens sometimes for some reason, i think reloading the area can fix it sometimes 🤔

[gloomy dagger]

what happens?

how do i reload an area

[frosty frost]

No idea, i just remember someone having the same problem then reloading the area and then the animal (wolf in that case i believe) was regenerating again

Ah, go through portal somewhere far and be there for a while or relog 🙂

[gloomy dagger]

closed and restarted server, hes still doing 0

[frosty frost]

Then i dont know what to do unfortunately 😦

[gloomy dagger]

we have the boar on the boat but his health is too low to harpoon him out again

[frosty frost]

Oh, just destroy the boat 😄

[gloomy dagger]

but then it will fall in the water and we still cant harpoon him ;-;

[frosty frost]

It should eventually go to land i think, and then you can just build a fence corridor to push him through

[tough hare]

You could try to build a wooden wall around your ship, before destroying the ship. If you create an opening towards land and set up a fenced off path towards the spot you want it to go, it may head out that way eventually.

[gloomy dagger]

why cant i hang a stone pillar on a wood-iron beam?

[desert monolith]

The beam has to be under the stone. The stone can’t be attached from above, has to be below.

[gloomy dagger]

that should have tons of support, its wood-iron all the way to ground

[desert monolith]

And only if the wood iron beam is giving max support from memory. If the wood iron beam is attached to just a normal wood piece it won’t work.

[desert monolith]

Yes, but stone can’t “hang”. It has to be support from below.

So put the iron beam under the stone, it should work

[subtle parrot]

Set the snap point to top center and start from the bottom beam, if you're trying to make the stone pillar wrap the beam

[thorn yew]

just wonderinggg my friend and i saved our game last night while we were sailing. pretty sure the boat was "parked" before i saved and logged us off. but if i were to go in right now and sail while he's busy will he log in on the boat or no?

[desert monolith]

No.

[subtle parrot]

Mark it on the map and sail back to it later or when they play again

[thorn yew]

🫡

[compact heath]

Maybe I should make a video on how to support stone with wood iron, I do that every time for any base mountains or higher because I love having a room with a stone floor

Put the iron wood inside the stone like when making supports for concrete IRL

[crimson pecan]

Need some strategy tips to skip directly to Mistlands, after spawning in a new world

ofc that includes which bosses and biomes i still need to touch to progress further

[agile rapids]

i'm not a nexpert, but i think that crypts(elder in no bugs), and moder are the most important milestones

[crimson pecan]

i think we can skip moder

there's already a video out

tho, yeah we might need silver to fight seekers properly

[desert monolith]

if you are good enough - it can be done. Just run there. You dont "need" anything...

[crimson pecan]

so, im guessing, we are just gonna dodge all enemies inside an infested mines for black cores huh...

[desert monolith]

that's one way.

Another way is use a flint spear or a finewood bow.

[crimson pecan]

true

[desert monolith]

Lots of options. You decide how to do it

See what suits your play style and skil

There are other ways too - i'll have a video out on it soon with some tricks/tips that I havent seen mentioned before - so maybe soon you'll have some extra ways.

The point is just try and be creative. If you want to skip straight to mistlands for whatever reason - go for it.

If you want to kill Queen "glitchless" - you'll need to kill Moder - no way around it due to requirement for black metal to make Gildr table etc

[crimson pecan]

thats great!!! thx man

[crimson pecan]

nah i like some glitch action

[desert monolith]

then in that case you dont need anything to kill queen - go to her front door, place a portal looking in, and port yourself inside naked if you want

[crimson pecan]

u got a YT channel for it?

[desert monolith]

just 4x surtling cores for the portals.

I think the "chair" trick works too - in which case no cores needed

[desert monolith]

meh - sorta. I'm not a content creator - just a speed runner with some stuff I'm going to release this week after my current attempts at a WR.

you can look me up on youtube if you want - nothing special. I dont want "likes" or "subscribes" - just releasing info to help ppl - so not looking to promote a channel here 🙂

[crimson pecan]

nice thnx, will check it now

[desert monolith]

Scales on this Disocrd has videos on killing bosses with no buffs, food etc. - so check his stuff for general combat tricks

[crimson pecan]

aight sure

[short cosmos]

look up thread queen glitch on yt

[regal ocean]

Is there a way to increase inventory slots?

[steep tusk]

Not without mods.

[steep tusk]

Inventory management is a skill to master just like anything else.

Very high probability your issue lies with carrying things you do not need to.

[regal ocean]

any suggestions?

[earnest owl]

make better food

but that has nothig to do with inventory management

[steep tusk]

You don't need both spear and sword, pick one.
You don't need 2 hats, pick one.
You don't need to randomly carry your hoe everywhere.
HHH food configuration is never advised.

[compact heath]

That's okay if you swamp often between circlet and other helmet, I also sometimes take portal materials instead of food with me to fast travel back home, which means 4 slots instead of 3 unless you take an axe, I also often dont bring hoe and pickaxe unless intending to go mining or terraforming

[earnest owl]

dont listen to this propoganda the main quest in this game is to see how high u can get ur hp with the right food combo

[compact heath]

and yeah make black forest tier food with carrots

[short cosmos]

the food he has rn is fine for where he's at, could switch 1 hp food to a stam food tho

[steep tusk]

Yes... propoganda from the man who wrote the food sheet...

[compact heath]

I have a theory... shweeb is not a vegetarian

[short cosmos]

I did all of ||Ashlands || with ||Mountain|| tier food (even ||Reto||) so it's not really about the food, but the type of food combos u use 🙂

[compact heath]

thats only possible with mad skills

[steep tusk]

Scales*

[compact heath]

some 2 star things will onehit you there with mtn foods I think

[regal ocean]

How do I plant carrot seeds?

[steep tusk]

You need Bronze.

[compact heath]

craft cultivator, plant them

[earnest owl]

farm a pine tree and get corewood

[regal ocean]

Ahhhh ok. Thanks guys

[short cosmos]

only || Reto || but tbf he one shots even with all 3 best hp foods and best armor fully upgraded w/o || Bonemass power or Protection bubble ||

[compact heath]

3 carrot seeds can be planted, will grow 3 carrots, those 3 carrots can be planted into seed carrots, will give 9 seeds, the 9 carrots > 27 seeds etc

[compact heath]

can you survive hits from 2 star ask / archers / valk / warlock with that food?

[short cosmos]

archers yea, don't think 2 star valks exist or I haven't ran into one, haven't ran into 2 starred ask/warlock just 1

[compact heath]

I also wouldn't want to fight like a 2 and 1 one star ask at same time without either being mage or HHS at least mist tier haha, but thats just me

[short cosmos]

yea but with mountains food it was a challenge run, not something I'd do when normally playing the game tbh

[compact heath]

yeah, my combat skills are not top tier, I m an explorer and builder

[short cosmos]

nice, I am an awful builder

[compact heath]

I do different challenges like : 1 or 2 bases per biome, use a new weapom or only 2 very specific types of weapons etc

[short cosmos]

oh nice, the challenge I did was beating all bosses in reverse and it was fun

[compact heath]

was that starting in Ashlands or pre ash release haha

[short cosmos]

I kinda wanna try to do a solo playthrough like I did with my friends but solo 🤷 but idk If I wanna commit to it

[short cosmos]

like 1-2 weeks ago, getting best gear I can from meadows-mistlands then killing fader first

[compact heath]

so Fader first, grats gj haha

[short cosmos]

yea it wasn't easy but I did it 🙂

[compact heath]

which weapon

[short cosmos]

Krom + Draugr fang bow

[compact heath]

nice, I love krom, because I once killed a 2 star seeker naked, just food + rested (had no armour left)

was when Mistlands was still in PTB

[short cosmos]

yea I love it aswell, the first time I saw it I saw the massive slash dmg stat and said omg I want it!! one of my friends said it wasn't that good but I was killing everything in mistlands way faster than he was 😂

[mellow yarrow]

can i give someone commands on a hosted world?

[steep tusk]

Nope.

[candid lynx]

can I not raise the ground on the tar pit and then dig it out to delete it??

[compact heath]

yes #mods-discussion

[compact heath]

you can raise the ground but the tar needs to flow somewhere, the actual tar liquid cannot be deleted in vanilla game without devcommands and things

[candid lynx]

oh

[delicate condor]

is there a light armor variant in the plains I can craft after the Fenris set?

[buoyant peak]

No

[compact heath]

Not in plains but later

[candid lynx]

can u find cultist in howling cavern

[cold crater]

Whats the best way of spawnproofing a area?

[tired root]

Campfires.

They have same radius as workbench so you can put workbenches first and when the area is spawnproofed you can replace them with campfires.

[delicate condor]

could it be worth investing in this little patch of plains terrain that is half sinking but in the middle of the ocean as a safe spot? if I raise it to the cap, will it be safe from waves or it's unlikely?

[drowsy crane]

I used little pieces of land like this to build fishing docks for each biome

[delicate condor]

I'm looking to build a Plains farmland and I want an isolated little island in the middle of the ocean

it's taking me ages to find a suitable spot though lol

[drowsy crane]

Depending on the size, it could be tricky to raise that landscape to fit.

[delicate condor]

just found this

could this work? I just want a couple of windmills and some fields for flax and barley

[drowsy crane]

That seems like a nice size 👍

[tired root]

That would be more workable size.

[delicate condor]

I just don't want waves at night to cover everything...
should I raise this to the top?

[drowsy crane]

You won't need to raise to the maximum to avoid waves, just try to gauge it with a storm if you can

[tired root]

I have made similar own made island for farming, it works well. It requires a lot of stones tho.

[delicate condor]

mist just cleared... am I too close to the shore?

[tired root]

No, that seems fine distance.

[drowsy crane]

Better that then nothing on the horizon too

[delicate condor]

I prefer it actually!

swamps are pretty horrible to have on the horizon ngl hehe

[delicate condor]

can I see where in the map that is?

[lilac coyote]

You'd need the seed too.

[tired root]

Don't know how it would help, but here. Seed is ||rhcsmutifk||.

[delicate condor]

wat just curious, that's like a perfect spot ngl

[tired root]

I initially planned to make a base there but realised too late that raising the ground as much as I'd liked wasn't possible, so I made it a plains farm.

[cold crater]

On what build things can stuff spawn?
For example i noticed the surtingls can spawn ontop of stone foundations (spawner)
But graydwarfs cant spawn on wood foundations (also spawners)

[umbral sandal]

can you raid an ashlands fort with carapace armor or do u need better gear

[frosty frost]

You can even do it naked if you are skilled enough 😄

[umbral sandal]

i see

[frosty frost]

But yeah, carapace should be enough 🙂

[umbral sandal]

thanks 🤠

[short cosmos]

Yes

[remote otter]

how much time flax need to grow?

[frosty frost]

between 4000s and 5000s (between 66m40s and 83m20s, or about 2.22-2.78 in-game days)

[remote otter]

it will grow anywhere right?

[frosty frost]

Only in plains

[remote otter]

ooh okay thanks

[steel sparrow]

hey community does anyone know when the game will be on sale on steam?

[lilac coyote]

Nope, but I'd imagine there's a strong chance of it being on sale during the Steam Spring Sale in March.

[steel sparrow]

Thank you)

[tired root]

According to Smiffe last week.

[gilded ridge]

does Infested mine have guard or any light? i can't find it in the mist

[frosty frost]

Yep, usually there is the big wisp lantern at the bottom of the stairs

[gilded ridge]

i'm only find like little castle full of dvergr

are the mines nearby the dvergr castle or?

[frosty frost]

Not necessarily

[gilded ridge]

any item other than wisplight that help to see mist in mistland?

[tired root]

Wisptorches.

[frosty frost]

And Mistwalker.

Wisplight has much bigger clearing radius, so that should be your primary way to do it, mistwalker has only half of the radius

Why?

Why are you saing it is like that?

You know it flies in front of you if you actually try and head in certain direstion...

Fortunately you dont have to 😉

[real nebula]

You'd be sacrificing a third of your armor rating for it

[frosty frost]

Apparently he would rather do that than not carry unnecessary stuff 🙂

[tired root]

cough Troll mead cough

[winged solstice]

oh i would hate that. lot squishier versus anything there

[real nebula]

Actually, yeah, you could get the best of both worlds just by making troll endurance pots

[tired root]

The one from Bog Witch, yes.

[real bear]

is it normal to just put wisp torches like everywhere you go in the mistlands lmao?

[real nebula]

Oh perfectly normal, encouraged even

[real bear]

the fog is just so annoying lmao

[frosty frost]

Oh man, the stuff that will be in the finished game isnt put in all at once during early access? Unbleievable...

[winged solstice]

i put down mist torches as like a pathway to my root sap farms. every now and then there will be fog and something glittering on the floor, alongside a nearby gjall lol

[frosty frost]

Where did i ever suggest that? 🙂

Dont see anything remotly like that 🙂

[subtle parrot]

I think you misunderstood what they said

[winged solstice]

if the wisplight was a helmet, assuming ur padded armor was maxed out you would go from 100 (96 if no maxxed out cape lol) to 69 (nice - assuming wisplight crown had 1 armor). that's the same armor as a tier 2 mountain armor set (cape included, also technically 68) 💔

[real bear]

any good tips for fighting gjalls? i feel like im doing it the hard way for some reason

[frosty frost]

Shoot the belly 🙂 and have fire resist mead

[real nebula]

I think the point is that yes, the new brews are valid tools for progression now that they're in the game, even if they were introduced after the Mistlands itself was released, because they're available well before the actual biome

[real bear]

alright so im not doing it the difficult way, they are just annoying lmao

fire res mead is what im missing lol

[winged solstice]

if u can ambush one with a nice arbalest shot, it does a lot of damage. otherwise just shoot the belly with whatever ranged weapon you prefer. it's a weakspot to piercing damage, so if you're a mage you just have to hit the thing to call it a win (frost staff also slows its turning radius so u can juke it some more)

[frosty frost]

It is very usefull 🙂

[real bear]

i always forget to make mead lmao

[winged solstice]

truly the real secret is fighting it when it's raining only 😏

[real bear]

cant do much about not fighting them when they are right outside my portal lmao

[winged solstice]

the super truth is to fight them with root harnesk. the gjall will fear you for having no self preservation

fire mead works well if ur a melee. i think if you had protection staff you wouldn't be lit on fire so you could bypass that step. i just recall when i would get hit without my bubble i was pretty much dead

[delicate condor]

do I have no chance but to craft padded armor to prepare for Yagluth and Mistlands?

[lilac coyote]

You can play in troll if you want.

[short cosmos]

I did Mountains-||Ashlands|| in Fenris armor so you don't exactly NEED to craft padded armor

[frosty frost]

You dont really need to craft any armor xD

[short cosmos]

true but any armor is infinitely better than none 😄

[faint osprey]

i usually use the best helmet i have root chestplate and fenris leggings

[short cosmos]

also Padded armor looks pretty cool

[short cosmos]

ye I can see why but I'd rather have more move speed

[frosty frost]

Helmet is not affecting move speed 😉

[faint osprey]

with this set up you have 1% movespeed buff

[mild copper]

Does anyone know why the black marble bench keeps breaking when placing at certain areas of a grausten 4x4 floor?

[short cosmos]

yea ik that but I'd rather have extra move speed 🤷 because when u are holding a weapon out thats when it actually matters more

[delicate condor]

vs Yagluth, should I use silver knife or black knife? (im a dagger player)

[steep tusk]

Silver.

[winged solstice]

first off, mad respects to you i've always wondered how a dagger player would tackle situations in valheim
2ndly, looking it up to double check but i think silver is better

yea silver's better. he's very resistant to pierce damage (i should know i fought him with only porcupine 💔) but neutral to slash and spirit damage so silver pulls farther

[short cosmos]

silver weapons are the best vs him at that stage in the game

[tired root]

I've seen some people defeating him with Silver knife.

[delicate condor]

thank you kindly ❤️

[delicate condor]

I love daggers for they're super fast-paced; I managed to take down Bonemass with a razor blade knife!

[winged solstice]

nice! i'm usually a brusier kinda guy so i ran with maces and shields. also feels kinda like a tank, but i always have adored the idea of being swift and nimble (opposite of my playstyle) and sneaking for giga damage
good luck on your hunt with silver knife vs yag 🫡

[delicate condor]

thank you good sir!

[tired root]

Someone has the patience to take them slowly.

[limpid vector]

Hey guys, do lavaiathans respawn or are there only a finite number of them per server?

[tired root]

They are finite. But they have very low chance (1%) to start sinking.

You can also find flametal inside the fortresses.

And inside the crates in dvergr bases.

[limpid vector]

Ah ok thanks!

Guess I'm incredibly unlucky since I can only manage to get like 20 ores before the thing starts to submerg lol

[tired root]

Been there. Once I had 3 lavaiathans in same place, 2 of them started sinking almost immediately after few hits.

[honest cedar]

Any advice on blending these roofs together?

[floral river]

Run the steeples into each other, then under put a slightly lower ceiling

[candid ridge]

hey

i made a comfort room that has everything up to mistlands, and on wiki it says i should have 16 comfort but i have 14... any idea why?

[frosty frost]

fuel the bath tub 😉

[candid ridge]

wait fuel

how

[honest cedar]

wood in the firepit in front

[candid ridge]

ohh i had it to the wall so i didnt see the options xD, thanks

[real bear]

any tips on how to make my base look a little better? i have a rough time decorating honestly lol

and some parts are a little incomplete

but i feel like i do a great job with exterior, but interior i just cant decorate lmao

[echo sparrow]

nope, can't improve perfection

wall mounted item stands for trophies and "obsolete" gear

[short cosmos]

looks beautiful

[real bear]

i just put it there to show the stages of the progression and all my armors

[echo sparrow]

I mean like as potential interior decoration to break up the walls, just to give ya an actual suggestion--love the design, lot of creativity here

[real bear]

yeah the downstairs area is quite open, might add walls to split it up a bit

[frosty frost]

Whats the problem?

[tough hare]

Looks like there's only one arm, instead of two.

[lavish flame]

My body hurts

[regal ocean]

How do I get blue/raspberry seeds

[tough hare]

You don't.

But there might be a mod for it. (as there are always people adding things to the game that the devs deliberately left out.)

[regal ocean]

Damn so I have to just find berries in the wild to make meads?

[olive ocean]

ye

[olive ocean]

why is everything so low but blood 😭

[tough hare]

Yup. You can mark their locations at the map, but for raspberries that's not really needed, as they're plentyful. Blueberries is another matter, but eventually you will find more than enough for those as well.

[cerulean mortar]

there is a mod for it. its called planteverything

[steep tusk]

Mods 🤢

[olive ocean]

ill prob look into mods after my 1st playthrough

[tough hare]

There's a reason I said this:
"But there might be a mod for it. (as there are always people adding things to the game that the devs deliberately left out.)" 😉

[lavish flame]

A lot of death

And me only playing with blood magic

[regal ocean]

Yeah I’m don’t want to use mods on my first play through

Maybe after I beat the game

[lavish flame]

May I give tips?

[regal ocean]

Go for it

[lavish flame]

Markdown everything on your map Barries, mushrooms stone with boar around it

[tired root]

Good advice, but boar stones aren't necessary to mark as the boars don't respawn there.

[steep tusk]

I would advise not marking everything because then your map is cluttered and it is hard to find things.

I only mark berry bushes if they are in clusters of 5 or greater.

Lorestones definitely not worth marking.

[tired root]

I mark them simply with a dot mark and use letters like:
M = mushroom
RB = raspberries
BB = blueberries
CB = cloudberries
*TH = thistle (not necessary in every place, but one area for example)

[regal ocean]

Do berries regrow?

[short cosmos]

if u are into the lore of the game why not

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[tired root]

That's why it's a good advice to mark them on map.

[steep tusk]

I almost never type, because the symbol itself tells me what I marked per biome.

[tough hare]

I only mark mushrooms, Blueberries, carrots and turnips as plants on my map as they're somewhat harder to come by.
Raspberries and cloudberries are so easily to spot, I don't see the need to mark them.

[tired root]

Well, cloudberries I usually mark only in one area.

[regal ocean]

Is there a max number of teleporters you can build?

[steep tusk]

Campfire = Forageable
Meadows: Raspberry
Forest: Blueberry
Swamp, Mountain, Plains: N/A
Mistlands: Ygg Root

Giant T = Mineable
Meadows: Oak Trees 😄
Forest: Copper
Swamp: Crypts becuz Iron
Mountain: Silver
Plains: Tar
Mistlands: Bones/Skulls

Dot: Dungeon
Meadows: N/A
Forest: Burial Mound
Swamp: N/A because Crypts for Mining
Mountain: Cave
Plains: N/A
Mistlands: Infested Mine

House: Dwelling
Meadows: Draugr Village
Forest: Troll Cave
Swamp: Surtling Fire
Mountain: Egg Nest
Plains: Fuling Village
Mistlands: Dverger Structure

Lorestone: Where I left the Boat.

The only typing I will ever do I using Campfire and typing "M" to denote it is a mushroom cluster and not a berry one.

[tough hare]

Yellow Mushroom: No need as they're found in sunken crypts, burial chambers and troll caves and respawn in the first two for sure.
I don't even mark the mistland and ashland mushrooms, as you will be able to plant the former and find enough of the latter. Same with vineberries, btw.

Animal spawns: no need for, as they wander away from it anyway.

Metals: Copper and Silver are marked. Either for direct mining or for a possible later mining journey. I will most likely mark Flametal later too.

Other thing I do mark are buildings, but usually the wooden ones are marked as "huts", the ones in the BF are "stone towers" or "Stone tower ruin". All crypts, Frost caves and troll caves are marked too, as well as Draugr or Fulling villages. And all end up with a cross through it once I'm done with clearing them.

[tired root]

No, you can build as many as you like.

[steep tusk]

I only ever have 2 built at my base proper.

One is for going wherever.
The other is my "ohshitemergencygohome" portal.

[lavish flame]

Sometimes lore stones have boar spawn around them that's how I got my 2 star boar

[tired root]

Yeah, they can possibly spawn starred boars but they are one time spawns, so they don't respawn. Which is why it's not necessary to mark them until you have tamed that starred boar.

[steep tusk]

Once you have the boar you can make infinitely more, so marking is 🤷‍♂️

[lavish flame]

Well I'll be keeping my boar stone

Nice point of reference

[regal ocean]

Is it ok to keep deer and boar in the same breeding area?

Wait can you even tame deer

[fickle sail]

can someone help me? in my game it says my last save was 21 minutes ago but when i go to load a save it says that its from an hour ago.

[tough hare]

Can't tame deer in Vanilla Valheim.

However, if you manage to trap one, it's possible to build a boar pen around the deer and keep the boars in it.
Just expect the deer to run around a lot when you feed or cull the boars .

Also, "pro"-tip: Make sure your boars are in an enclosed area. So walls and roof so you keep the save from a later event.

[regal ocean]

I just dug a big hole is that ok? It hasn’t gotten out yet and is showing hearts

[tough hare]

For taming yes. But for breeding boars having them in some sort of a shed with solid walls and a roof is the best.

[regal ocean]

Ok thanks

Can you tame neck?

[tough hare]

Nope.

There are 4 creatures you can tame. One from the Meadows, one from the Mountains, one from Plains and one from Ashlands.
You are also able to breed chickens at some point and the animal you can tame from the Ashlands can also lay eggs which you can hatch at your base.

[regal ocean]

Cool thank you

[tough hare]

I leave it up to you to figure out which creature is which one. 😉

[regal ocean]

Is there any point in taming more than 2 boars? Like will I get more drops per each pair

[steep tusk]

There are many points in taming any number of anything.

[regal ocean]

I shall raise a boar army

[steep tusk]

You're still in the phase where "Just play the game" is the answer to most all of your questions if I may be honest.
Stop trying to solve it and just experience it.

Solving comes later.

[regal ocean]

Alright I kinda needed to hear this. Been getting overwhelmed with all the new stuff I’m getting

[tough hare]

No, unless you find a boar with a single or two stars.
In that case tame it and breed it with the ones you have. As soon as you have offspring, kill the ones without stars and keep the ones with.
Each star doubles the amount of things they drop, so having a couple with two stars saves you from a lot of hunting. And in a way also takes away a bit of the exploring part.

[regal ocean]

I’ll just try to find the swamp now

[tough hare]

Have you killed the first two bosses yet?

[regal ocean]

Yeah I have

Got the swamp key

[steep tusk]

All "should I?" questions should be postponed until you've fought Queen imo.
Otherwise we are just telling you how to play instead of you figuring out how you want to play.

[compact heath]

Swamp is one of my 2 favourite biomes, but I am not in the majority haha

[regal ocean]

Ok cool. Thanks

[short cosmos]

Should I make a Raft for exploration 😄

[compact heath]

Here we all love following along a new players journey into a game we have loved for years.

[tough hare]

The most important "should I...?" is "Should I explore the map?"
The answer to that is: "Yes, and take your time for it so you get familiar with the biome and the monsters in it."

[compact heath]

After you kill the first boss you can unlock a better version, which I highly recommend for exploring, I only use raft for emergencies or when stranded and I have to.

[short cosmos]

uhh I made a Drakkar after killing the first boss.... I think I did something wrong 🤨

[compact heath]

didn't notice you were being sarcastic because I m German sorry

[short cosmos]

lol its all good

[steep tusk]

Raft is too underrated.

[compact heath]

Raft is perfect ... for making raft bridges

[steep tusk]

And transporting carts.

[short cosmos]

its good if ur trying to get across a small river, anything bigger than that I'd rather swim

[compact heath]

Nah Drakkar for that or anything else

Swimming is underrated especially with the new mead

[short cosmos]

yea its really nice I wanna test it with full fenris armor + other things to see if I can swim really fast as well as run fast

[steep tusk]

My swimming is at 87 watchu mean 😄

[grizzled mural]

is valheim music copyrighted? i want to put the meadows music in the background of a video?

[regal ocean]

Can officially say I’m addicted😂

[ashen nexus]

is black forest a smaller area than meadows?

[tough hare]

No.
It's scattered over multiple landmasses.
So it may be smaller on your starting island, but there's a lot more to discover.

[ashen nexus]

ah ok thanks a lot

[tough hare]

yw

[compact heath]

wow that is amazing, mine is lower haha, I have pickaxe at 99 though

[desert monolith]

needs two bosses 🙂

[compact heath]

yeah you're right haha, level 2 artisan table is hardlocked behind 2 bosses (they were bein sarcastic) also first boss is not included in this

[regal ocean]

Nooooooo

Just spent 20 min brining a 1 star boar back to my base then he just runs away as soon as we get here

[rich fossil]

thats due to fire ig

[steep tusk]

Not worth the effort until you decide where your perma-base is going to be tbh.

[karmic breach]

Me and a friend got to the fire island a week ago but the island is just impossible. You can't even place down a portal that won't get destroyed within minutes because of all the monster spawns. We just kept on dying and dying which was really frustrating. We tried spawnproofing but the monsters just keep destrying everything. Is there a way to build a base and prevent mob spawns which they won't constantly destroy? OR is there some commands we could use to do it? If we can just have stable portal that won't constantly get destroyed it would make our lives way easier and the island more enjoyable, but constantly having to re-make the big boat to get there sucks. Overall it was just not challenging or the likes to go and conquer the fire biome, it was just annoying...

[tired root]

Hoe + stones = earth walls.

[karmic breach]

But what do you do with a gate? I just wish the shield also protected mobs from walking through 🥲

[lilac coyote]

Why wouldn't it be?

[tired root]

Don't create gate, instead build Grausten ladders. Enemies cannot walk on them.

[karmic breach]

Thanks!

Any other tips for the biome, like early-game gear focuss and the likes?

[tired root]

Note that lava blobs can jump on and "damage" earth walls but that is easily avoided.

[tired root]

Well that depends, do you play as mage or melee?

[karmic breach]

Melee, my friend as a mage

[faint osprey]

have you tried building your portal on of the big rocks close to the shore? I always do that and they never get destroyed

[karmic breach]

Hah, maybe that could work. We didn't think of that when we were getting butfucked by a serpent in the sea and 20 mobs on the land. Will try ty!

Would it be possible to clear on of the caves of the (i forgot the name, the spinning meat-boneballs-beyblades of death) if we killed the monster in there? That would be kinda cool if possible

[faint osprey]

you cant build in dungeons

[compact heath]

which dungeons

[karmic breach]

It's the cave with the lava around it

[tired root]

Putrid Holes probably.

[tired root]

Okay, mage wants to keep distance against enemies, cast shield bubble for protection, throw fire balls with Ember staff at groups since it has good AoE and deals also high amount of blunt damage along with fire (they aren't immune to fire). Frost staff is useful against single targets and for slow effect. Dead raiser is not necessary, but can be useful as distractions for enemies when they have shield bubbles on.

Melee wants to have good protection, high HP and moderate stamina. Any Mistlands weapon (except Jotun Bane) is viable against Ashlands mobs, but Silver weapons are also useful due to added spirit damage and lower stamina usage. AoE weapons like Himminafl or Demolisher are very useful against groups of enemies. Avoid blocking/parrying starred warrior attacks if you don't use buckler and until you learn their attack patterns. Frostner is also useful for keeping enemies away due to knockback and slow effect.

Both mages and melees benefit from mobility that Ratatosk tonic and Lightfoot mead grant. Also HP/Eitr regen and Lingering stamina meads are good to have.

[karmic breach]

I have the himinafl! Goated weapon!

Allright thanks!

[compact heath]

Ah yeah you’re right

[ancient ravine]

What do i use sap for?

[steep tusk]

Pancakes.

[frosty frost]

Magic 🙂

[ancient ravine]

@frosty frost how?

[steep tusk]

You need to find brains.

[lilac coyote]

Rude.

[steep tusk]

? Is literally what is needed.

[lilac coyote]

Is literally a joke.

[frosty frost]

You need new "smelter"/refinery from mistlands and soft tissue/btains as Sev called it 🙂

[glad schooner]

Pancake?

[ancient ravine]

@frosty frost thx

[glad schooner]

Yum yum

[gilded ridge]

Can you plant jotun puff or mage cap in other biome?

[true steeple]

No, it must be mistlands

[exotic remnant]

Hi, is there a way to sync, your saves from steam and xbox? Just the character is fine, world is on dedicated server so that should not be an issue.
Note that I do have steam and xbox accounts linked, but xbox does not show anything. Basically using another cloud.

[honest cedar]

Guys I thought lox were meant to be strong companions. They can hardly hit a fuling let alone a mosquito

[little kiln]

Hi everybody. The problem is that I have a sword in place of the cursor, how can I solve this problem?

[honest cedar]

I had to kill them myself cause the lox was just taking hits and doing nothing

[tired root]

Exit game, restart game.

[little kiln]

It helped, thanks.

[honest cedar]

Can you breed two star wolves with regular wolves? If so, does it produce 2 star offspring

[true steeple]

It will randomly produce zero or two stars

[honest cedar]

Gotcha. Thanks

[faint osprey]

if ur breeding a 0 star and a 2 star i think its a 33% chance to get a 2 star offspring

[honest cedar]

Cool cool. Now time to actually find a 2 star

[faint osprey]

2 star wolves only spawn at night

[honest cedar]

Yea I looked around one night after setting up a trap, didn't find one. Gonna keep trying till I get one

[lilac coyote]

No it's 50/50.

[cold crater]

i cant get these to boars to eat for the life of it
any improvement i could make?

(both have the hunger status, i already tried to throw it from the other side

[true steeple]

Just make a real farm where the boars are happy

[cold crater]

nah i like the industrial suffering

-# its just way more efficient

[thorn spire]

Try using shutters instead of the wall. The carrots need to be VERY close for them to eat

[cold crater]

i just unloaded the whole area with going far away
and when i came back it worked
but thanks

[willow raft]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T2aKnEMKd4 Check at around 10 minutes in for a good idea how to solve the not eating.

[leaden pollen]

hello everyone. I want to make Valheim dedicated server and play with someone. I need opinion, is it good/popular to make server fith mod like with Thunderstore mod manager? Simple quality of life mods , like inventory or Chests. Or maybe all preffer more vanilla play?

[lilac coyote]

Entirely up to you. Those who like mods will recommend mods to you and those of us who don't will tell you to stay vanilla.

[willow raft]

I would advice finding some people to play with first and decide amongst yourselves if you all would want vanilla, some QoL mods or some big overhaul of the game mods.

[buoyant peak]

Sometimes I wonder if people need to ask for permission to breathe in order to breathe...

Or they just forget they had free wil

[stoic trench]

Do you find it strange that in school we would ask if we could go to the bathroom instead of just saying… I am going to the bathroom? 😂

[buoyant peak]

Nowadays yes.

Why asking for permission to do something basic?

[willow raft]

There are some that wear headphones but they don't listen to music, it only goes: "Breathe in, breathe out."
Having their hair cut is a real challenge for them and they always have to carry spare batteries.

[ebon lance]

I know this might be a stupid question but would there be a way to make the stonecutter look a bit darker or more weathered I guess? It would fit much better with the forge astetic.

If not its just a small personal preference, nothing to write home about. Am just curious

[stoic trench]

Do you have your graphics settings turned down?

[ebon lance]

^

Its like my dude dont give a damn about his setup but the stonecutter gotta stay prestine XD

[stoic trench]

Hmm yeah, I don’t know why yours looks like that lol

[late hawk]

hit it a few times

when it's in a more destroyed state it's darker

[spark surge]

One neat thing about the mods is a lot of them are player side, so players can decide individually. We recently started using plant everything as our first mod and we love it. Very much not overpowered but takes some of the grind out for us since we've played through so many times

[whole socket]

Let it get rained on or kick it a few times. The damaged version is darker lol but yes it does stand out in terms of benches.

[regal ocean]

Any tips on how to fix stutters

[placid urchin]

is there any light source i could place outside that wouldnt go out in the rain ? i would like to light up my docks

[frosty frost]

How far are you in the game?

[zealous tendon]

Anyone knows the best way to get stone?

I mean, i heard i could just break the start of those big rocks from plains

[frosty frost]

Mine copper, that way you get stone and copper 🙂

[zealous tendon]

I dont need copper

[frosty frost]

Might come in handy 🙂 basically mining any big rocks is the best way, or make greydwarf farm

[placid urchin]

havent beaten bonemass yet, but ill just take note of whatever works if i dont have anything yet

[frosty frost]

You will get some stuff that 100% doesent go out later in game, but i think sconce should work actually (not 100% sure about that tho)

[placid urchin]

apparently youre right abouce sconces, thanks!

[frosty frost]

Good then 😄

[pliant briar]

am i reeady for the bonemass?(i forgot about the potions for heal and poison)

[frosty frost]

I would say you are 🙂

[pliant briar]

hell yeah

do i need 4 withered bone to spawn him or more?

[frosty frost]

10

[steep tusk]

That inventory causes me physical pain 😭

[pliant briar]

forgot to leave some of my stuff

[frosty frost]

I assume (or rather hope) that it will not be like that when going for bonemass xD

[steep tusk]

It should never be like that 😭

[pliant briar]

like what

[tired root]

Some are up to chaos

[steep tusk]

3 melee weapons
5 foods
2 different armor sets
I could go on 😭

[frosty frost]

6 foods if you count yellow mushrooms xD

[steep tusk]

Those are excused as forageable.

[pliant briar]

bruh im only using mace for him, only using the food on right up corner

and so on

not using all of thats stuff nonstop

i forgot to leave it

[steep tusk]

Not that you have, but I'm pre-emptively saying you're never allowed to complain about inventory space in this game if you're totally fine with this layout 😂

[pliant briar]

im not complaining

5 slots is for me a lot

[frosty frost]

You would not believe how rare that actually is 😄 and we appreciate you for it

[umbral sandal]

how do i craft gemstone weapons? i dont see the recipe even tho i got the gemstones

i built the gemcutter too

[frosty frost]

You need the base weapon first 🙂

[umbral sandal]

oh

i got confused lmao

[frosty frost]

And dont upgrade it before enchanting it with gemstones, it would revert to lvl1 again

[umbral sandal]

alright thanks

[pliant briar]

the boss music cooking

[frosty frost]

Pretty much all boss music is absolute bomb 😄

[pliant briar]

just hold E

[frosty frost]

Try asking in #mods-discussion 😄 folks there will surely know

[frosty frost]

Pulling, not putting 😉

[pliant briar]

wasnt it foe pulling?

[frosty frost]

If you hold E you will automatically put stuff that is already in the chest into it 🙂

[pliant briar]

blud got DESTROYED

[regal ocean]

How do you cook fish?

[frosty frost]

You need prep table 🙂

[spark surge]

You need the food prep table to prepare the raw fish now, then they can go on a cooking station or used for recipes

[regal ocean]

Ok thanks

[spark surge]

Be advised some of the new ||potions use unprocessed fish as ingredients||

[pliant briar]

what biome do i go next?

[frosty frost]

Mountains 🙂

[pliant briar]

good that i asked cuz i thinked about plains

[frosty frost]

Yeah it could be indicated where to go after swamp a bit clearer 😅

[whole socket]

Well if you have the root harness (top) you COULD do plains but still hit hard.

[whole socket]

Especially since alot of the times mountains tend to be right by plains. At least my Moder mtn is. Plains on all sides, aside from a tiny sliver of black forest. Lol

[steep tusk]

Swamp enabling Frost Resist Mead is your indicator. 🙂

[frosty frost]

True that, it might be how i figured it out when i started playing, but Its so long ago i really don't remember how i actually figured it out

[frosty frost]

Eh, that is pretty rng

[umbral sandal]

whats the best staff for ashlands

[tired root]

Going in or progressing?

[steep tusk]

Best is subjective 🤷‍♂️

[regal ocean]

Is there a command to turn rain off?

[steep tusk]

I don't think so, why?

[regal ocean]

Just doing some building rn and want to regain stamina faster

[steep tusk]

Is what you're building eventually going to be roofed?

Because if so, roof first. Then build from inside.

[short cosmos]

env clear

[charred fable]

Staff of Friendtacles... errr of the Wild...

[regal ocean]

Yeah building a pen for my boar

But gotta landscape some first

[regal ocean]

Didn’t work

[short cosmos]

do u have devcommands enabled?

[regal ocean]

No I don’t think so. How do I do that?

[short cosmos]

before u open the game, go to launch parameters and type -console, f5 to open console in game and type devcommands

[buoyant peak]

[regal ocean]

Worked. Thanks!

[steep tusk]

Swapping to triple stamina foods is the best you can really do unless you can make a bonfire.
Otherwise can just wait till rain ends.

[regal ocean]

Oh yeah good idea. Need to make some of those. Living off deer stew and jerky right now

[outer gust]

hey guys

is there an easy way to destroy buildings in the beginning ?

[echo sparrow]

the easiest way usually I feel is to drop a workbench then use the hammer's feature to instantly break pieces, start from the bottom to tear down all the 'support' and the larger pieces should automatically break

won't work though on certain structures that you can't build--like pretty sure doesn't work on the fuling camp buildings you cannot build version of yourself for instance

[outer gust]

where can i find the worbench ? =))

i saw that on youtube but didnt understand how he did it

[regal ocean]

I just killed 2 piggy’s and neither dropped anything. Do I need to wait till they are grown?

[stoic trench]

Have you crafted a hammer yet? If so, right click while holding it

[stoic trench]

Yep, piggies don’t drop anything.

[regal ocean]

Ok thanks. RIP piggies

[outer gust]

thanks guys

[gritty warren]

Is it possible to spawn drwyn tip fragment in? Ours disappeared from the mysterious place and we can’t spawn it in

[frosty frost]

Yep it should be 🙂 classic spawn "spawn item id ammount" but i dont remember the id for it

[lilac coyote]

Pickable_Swordpiece3, Pickable_Swordpiece2 and DyrnwynHiltFragment

[gritty warren]

Thank you guys! i appreciate it but apparently i was at the wrong place so it was definitely not there.. but I found it now! Thank for the help though 🙂

[frosty frost]

Ah, you can spawn all 3 of them as pickable objects you have to click on (Pickable_Swordpiece1, 2 and 3) or as normal items that will drop from those pickable ones (DyrnwynHiltFragment, DyrnwynBladeFragment and DyrnwynTipFragment) 😄

[lilac coyote]

Ah, didn't know all six worked. The ones I mentioned are the ones that naturally appear in game.

[frosty frost]

Yeah 😄 you normally cant have the hilt pickable

[ivory mountain]

I need help please. What are the structures in the swamp that have spiral stairs down into water? There were 2 Drauger Elites and we killed them with arrows but can't swim to the bottom of the stairs.

Are we not supposed to be able to explore them?

[lilac coyote]

Indeed. Just decorative.

[frosty frost]

Yeah they are basically just place that the elites can spawn in 🙂

(but they will not keep spawning there if you wonder)

[ivory mountain]

Thank you guys for the quick response!

Sad that they are just decorative though.

[ripe bone]

annoying death pits

[frosty frost]

You will see them again in one other biome 😉 and there they are actually useful.

[ivory mountain]

Ooo that's exciting! Thank you and thank you for no spoilers! 🙂

[ripe bone]

I got some spoilers, In the biomes to come, There are locations, And its ideal that you go to them.

[frosty frost]

Yw I am always trying to not spoil 😄

[final whale]

On furling villages, do they spawn forever and I can farm them or is it limited and gotta wipe the village and look for other villages?

[short cosmos]

limited

[echo sparrow]

while the villages are limited, given the map size there'd be a rather "deep well" supplying them, and furthermore if its the blackmetal you're looking to farm specifically, the fulings that drop it naturally spawn with decent regularity in the plains itself, so you'll just passively accumulate it fairly fast actually, just being in plains, killing fulings, and collecting their drops

I think my blackmetal chest is the most full of all my metal chests

[brave parcel]

Is there a known bug with mob spawn prevention?
I've got my base (3 buildings and a farm) covered in torches, camp fires, and tons of work benches and various mobs keep spawning right behind me when I step outside of a structure or right outside of my main base structure while I'm offloading items. I have confirmed where they tend to spawn is within the range of multiple work benches of varying upgrades.

[echo sparrow]

did you build your base at/around the world center spawn?

[torn canyon]

where do you get tin again

[echo sparrow]

black forest

the little rockish looking deposits that tend to cluster around shorelines/water sources--or, sometimes, they'll drop as loot from the barrels outside the POI ruined tower that spawns in BF

[torn canyon]

ty ty your the best

[echo sparrow]

np

[pliant briar]

do the cargo from carts disapper?

[brave parcel]

Yes, this base is probably within 50 m of the spawn stones

[regal ocean]

Progressing

[lapis sequoia]

I've crafted the Dead Riser but it needs 100 eitr to use, how can i balance my food to have that amount but also have good amount of stamina/health?

[winged solstice]

if you level up blood magic it can help in reducing the amount of eitr required for them to summon, but would take a while. your best chance is to eat 2 eitr foods and a stamina food (that's what i did before going all 3 in eitr). protection staff helped in making up the low hp and the extra stamina helps for me to maneuver outta combat
remember to sit near a campfire or be in shelter with a fire to get the resting buff (not rested buff). massively increases eitr regen for precasting the skellies

[lapis sequoia]

are the caster equipment necessary in this case?

[lapis sequoia]

@winged solstice thanks for the amazing tip, i figured it out bro

[winged solstice]

caster equipment?

grats on figuring it out, tho idk what caster equipment means - been a bit since i hopped on valheim

[lapis sequoia]

i meant the rope and hood

[steady seal]

I just discovered the bog witch, are there any really useful trades for early game?

[compact heath]

Yes, some of the potions are amazing, and I quite like the feasts especially as maintenance foods

The Cured Squirrel Hamstring and the Powdered Dragon Eggshells are ingredients for useful meads (the latter needs you to fish for trollfish to unlock it too)

[steady seal]

Okay thanks. I should start looking for Haldor lol

[short cosmos]

how good is the mistwalker? It seems like a good weapon

[steep tusk]

It is very good.

[candid lynx]

just unlocked magic and is there any farmable eitr regen food

[short cosmos]

mage cap - ingredient used for even better eitr food

[regal ocean]

Is there a finite amount of boar or do they respawn

[desert monolith]

they respawn.

But to clarify - if you see the static large groups at runestones - they dont respawn (other than randomly respawning and they happen to be at a runestone itself)

[steep tusk]

Given you can breed them, they are infinite.

[regal ocean]

Is that where the hidden treasures are?

[steep tusk]

Negative.

[umbral sandal]

which staff helps u max out elemental skill fast

[steep tusk]

Frost.

[umbral sandal]

thanks

[steep tusk]

Skill is per hit and it fires the fastest.

If you leave it at rank 1 it will do less damage, allowing you to level faster. @umbral sandal

[gilded ridge]

Does skill count in weapon (example sword) base by how many hit or how big the damage deal?

[steep tusk]

Skill is per hit

[tired root]

Trap a golem in a pit, build a small house with fireplace around the pit to get resting buff for eitr regen and use the frost staff to shoot golem which is immune to frost damage but the hits still grant xp.

Another staff that can rapidly increase the skill lvl is ||fracturing staff from Ashlands||.

[buoyant peak]

Number of hits

[steady seal]

Will crops grow no matter where I am and how far away I am from them?

[steep tusk]

Yes and no.

They do not continually grow when out of render. They simply note the time since you left. And when you return the update the new time and rapidly grow to what they should be given the difference.

[steady seal]

ah thank you

[steep tusk]

The time tracking does not, however, apply to taming animals and certain other processes.

[pearl night]

Hi, it’s my first time playing valhiem and I was just wondering when do I unlock a new type of roof the thatch one doesn’t look to good 😂

[steep tusk]

Plains.

5th Biome.

[pearl night]

Do I have to defeat a boss to get there ?

[steep tusk]

If playing the game as intended, you have to defeat 4.

[pearl night]

Okay thank you 😂 I’ve only beaten 2

[steep tusk]

Genuinely stop caring how stuff looks at this stage.
You're going to get so, so many other options as you progress.

[pearl night]

Ight cool thank you

[tired root]

First time is the best time, you get to experience it first time only once so take everything out of it. 🙂

[candid lynx]

whats the ideal chicken number for eggs

[tired root]

I usually have 4. 2 is minimum (obviously).

[candid lynx]

my raised skelly is hungry what do u feed them

[candid lynx]

lol i c

[tired root]

Sadly skeletts don't eat anything.

[candid lynx]

oh no

[tired root]

However they don't have digestive system so they don't care.

[willow raft]

They are always hungry and will remain hungry, they have no stomach anymore that could help with that problem.

[tired root]

Maybe they are hungry for the blood of their enemies?

[fierce rover]

Can an Xbox player play with a steam player?

[true steeple]

Yes, by sharing the join code on the pause screen

[small nest]

also be sure to have crossplay enabled

[dark cargo]

Is the deep north going to be part of the progression difficulty?

[ebon marsh]

It should be similar if not harder in difficulty to Ashland’s

[small nest]

what do you mean? its going to be 8th and last biome

like igod said, it should be similar in difficulty. i think that there will be less enemies but they will be tankier

[true steeple]

Less enemies? Ashlands already had its spawn rates reduced.

[small nest]

i know, i was comparing it to the pre-nerfed ashlands

[true steeple]

I think more interactions between enemies would be nice, friendly fire is a step in the right direction but isn’t enough on its own.

And I don’t mean enemies fighting each other, they could be working together somehow

[stoic trench]

In what more ways could they interact? Like fighting each other? posted this at the same time, lol. Yeah, that would be interesting.

Would be interesting if there were enemies that could buff each other, kinda like the fuling shamans. Dvergr do it, but they’re neutral.

[true steeple]

Here’s an example I’ve talked about already #general message

[umbral sandal]

ash fang or ripper?

[stoic trench]

Ahhh gotcha, nice idea!

Ash fang imo, but I hear ripper is extremely good

[subtle parrot]

I prefer ash fang, not a fan of the crossbows personally

[umbral sandal]

yeah i heard it was pretty good too thats why i dont know which one to pick xd

[umbral sandal]

thats fair

my bow skill rn is 15 after dying so many times

so im thinking that maybe ripper could compensate for that low level

[pliant briar]

how do i go uphill with a cart?

[frosty frost]

At an angle 🙂

[pliant briar]

im sliding down

should i build stairs or smth?

[frosty frost]

Well you are not really supposed to bring full carts up the mountain, it would be best to go around it 😅

[pliant briar]

bruh

what a good welcome to the mountains

[frosty frost]

Why are you taking it there?

[pliant briar]

i wanna build base quick so i dont have to waste as much potions

im kinda short on them

[frosty frost]

You can make portal up there and také stuff through it 🙂

[pliant briar]

i have only resources for 1 portal

to my base

[frosty frost]

Then it would probably be best to gather more, they are incredibly usefull

[pliant briar]

ive been hurt so much at the swamp that i can withstand anything, ill do it the hard way

[frosty frost]

Well, best of luck then 😄

[pliant briar]

what does a red fog mean?

[echo sparrow]

i asked because i'm FAIRLY sure from having built my own base around spawn (literally, around it, I walled off a pretty large area with one side open to the ocean with an earthen wall), and I was able to spawnproof every square inch of this pretty big area with the usual campfire & workbench spam, EXCEPT I've noticed no matter what I do (and I've surrounded spawn with benches & campfires in a circle about as close as the anti-building aura allows) I simply CANNOT fully suppress spawns, I think centered on the actual center of the spawn, because i'll occasionally notice the drops of mobs or more rarely see them (before my pack of tamed askvin tear them apart)

PSA-if you build a base 'around' the center stones, i'm pretty sure from personal experience you simply cannot 100% spawnproof it

[honest cedar]

guys how on earth do i place eggs? I have a roof and am next to a fire, and it keeps saying "Use egg on what?"

[thorn spire]

Just drop one on the ground

[honest cedar]

Ah I see, thanks

Man placing these eggs is so annoying. Why does it have to be RIGHT NEXT to the fire?

[thorn spire]

Depends on the egg and the fire radius.

Usually as long as the egg is in the same area where you see the fire icon, it should be good

Make sure you don’t place a stack. They have to single items to grow and hatch

[honest cedar]

I'm using the eggs from yagluth, tried placing them single in all sorts of locations around the fire. I might just rebuild my coupe

[thorn spire]

Sometimes it takes a second or two, you should be able to hover over the egg and it will say (warm)

[brave parcel]

I think you may be right. My first base was a bit further and did not seem to have as many spawns with far fewer base items spammed everywhere, then I upgraded and moved my base closer to the stones and genuinely have greydwarves spawning on my door steps despite having a grotesque amount of base items spammed.. Not really looking forward to breaking everything down just to test this though :

[thorn spire]

@honest cedar Maybe share a screenshot if you’re still having trouble

@brave parcel , @echo sparrow I’m pretty sure I’ve read before that there is a permanent spawn location right in the centre of the stones that can’t be suppressed

[honest cedar]

Will do. Also, can chickens jump over a 1m tall wall?

Wood half wall*

[thorn spire]

Grown hens, no. The young chickens can

[echo sparrow]

yeah that wouldn't surprise me at all--would definitely explain my personal experience; kinda what inspired my suggestion to purposefully change that

[echo sparrow]

my solution ended up being just walling off an 'inner base' around the stones with stakewalls, nothing critical built in that area, just a free range for my herd to roam, bred up half a dozen asksvin, and now it's just an area to occasionally collect some extra mob drops from

works fine but, in my future playthroughs unless something like my suggestion RE the center is implemented I will instead be building a small outpost near the stones with a portal and building the MAIN base, elsewhere

[knotty dock]

hello, before on the map I could see numbers, now I can't, how can I put them back?

[honest cedar]

@thorn spire This is what I mean right now. How close does the egg have to be? It's still "too cold"

Oh it takes time for them to turn warm

[echo sparrow]

in my experience anywhere the player gets the 'fire' status effect is close enough, but you're right it takes the dropped egg a bit to "realize"

[novel ingot]

Can u pls link to the site where i can download official mods

[regal ocean]

Will thistle be important at some point? I have so much but never used it

[echo sparrow]

yeah it actually gets a fair number of uses that stay useful even pretty late in the game, mostly in food

also you will need it for one of the first, if not literally the first, food unlocking upgrades (which is one of the most important progression steps for upgrading stats, getting access to better food)

[regal ocean]

Ok cool thanks

[echo sparrow]

no prob

a good rule of thumb especially early when you tend to have more inventory space is to just collect and keep everything, build more chests to hold it, rather than throwing it away and letting it despawn--you'll be glad later when you find uses for it and need a few stacks handy

[placid urchin]

iron atgeir has a block armor of 28, block force of 40 and parry bonus of x2, the iron buckler has 28, 30 and x2,5. does that mean i can parry stronger monsters with the atgeir but the damage i deal them afterwards is lower ?

[echo sparrow]

the multiplier is applied to the block force upon succesful parry

e.g., a parry with iron buckler is 75 based upon these stat figures

while an atgeir would be 80

[steep tusk]

Blocking sheet is pinned in #valheim-chat

[echo sparrow]

both/all parries, i think, just do an identical double damage--and I think that's actually a function of it 'staggering' them--there are monsters, bosses I think, immune to stagger and so for them parrying a lot less valuable, only really decreases the "oomf" of the hit (because your block armor will be higher), but a round or tower shield does that arguably about as efficiently and more reliably

[steep tusk]

Parrying bosses is a waste of stamina, yes.

[echo sparrow]

exactly

[placid urchin]

thanks a lot for all the explanation, so if i got that right the iron atgeir is slightly better for parrying and blocking damage than the iron buckler right ? but the damage will purely be based on the weapon

[true steeple]

Staggered enemies always take 2x damage. It doesn’t matter if they were staggered by damage or by parrying, or what item was used to stagger or parry them.

They block block equally well, but the buckler will parry better

[steep tusk]

No.

[echo sparrow]

oh also, 'block FORCE' is different than block 'ARMOR'

[true steeple]

Block force is knockback

[echo sparrow]

to be clear--force reduces KNOCKBACK only IIRC--ARMOR is what reduces the damage

[steep tusk]

Iron Atgeir parry is 56 at all ranks.
Iron Buckler parry is 70, 85, 100.

[true steeple]

Block armor reduces knockback

[echo sparrow]

wait both do?

[true steeple]

Block force IS knockback

[steep tusk]

☝️

[echo sparrow]

oh it knocks THEM back?

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[echo sparrow]

ohhhhh, weird lol--see that's a stat I never cared about too much, learn something new every day

[steep tusk]

Not caring about it is the correct approach.

[rugged mica]

guys is it able to transform server from not dedicated serwer to dedicated serwer ?

[echo sparrow]

but yeah ARMOR is what you want for blocking damage and succesfully parrying--I DID think it was weird the stat numbers were suggesting the ategeir would parry BETTER lol

[placid urchin]

ohhh that makes a lot more sense now lol

i thought that it was weird aswell

[steep tusk]

The only shield Iron Atgeir beats is Wood.

[placid urchin]

but is the parry bonus is still applied to those numbers ? so 56x2 for atgeir and 70x2.5 for the buckler ?

[true steeple]

Those numbers already have the parry bonus applied

[steep tusk]

☝️

[true steeple]

The block armors are both 28

[placid urchin]

ohhh of course, thanks a lot yall

[steep tusk]

28/34/40

[echo sparrow]

the real 'blocking' of the atgeir is the spin secondary attack--spin and stab

[thorn breach]

Might not be the best place to ask,but about the voice chat. Are the names maybe the game lvl you might be at or are the just names? 🙂

[steep tusk]

They are just names.

[thorn breach]

Ty didn’t want to step in and make a fool of myself. There is still a good chance of that. Anyways

[steep tusk]

Raises hand - swipe attack, just roll and avoid all damage
Both hands on belly - poison vomit, just turn around and walk away from him to avoid all damage
Puts hand into armpit - adds spawn, run in direction he is facing and once the ball hits the ground you can one-shot all enemies before they have time to attack, avoiding all damage

[echo sparrow]

oh that's why you're dying
go find a bee hive, and make some poison meads

[steep tusk]

None of the swamp foods require honey.

[echo sparrow]

yeah but fighting bonemass without poison resist and with the best available gear by that point is just asking to die, or at least making the fight so much harder and longer

[steep tusk]

If you're still eating honey in the Swamp that is problems 1-9,999 and you should start by fixing that.

[echo sparrow]

because you REALLY have to avoid constant very difficult to completely avoid poison damage

[steep tusk]

Also, as I just explained, you can do the entire fight very easily without being hit once. So dying in two hits shouldn't happen either.

[echo sparrow]

if you don't mind cheese and it taking awhile, you can always just build up into the indestructible trees (which USUALLY are near enough the spawning altar, unless you get some weird swamp island spawn) to make a platform then shoot him to death with arrows from there--I recommend bringing like 3-5 stacks of arrows at least, and a workbench covered up there to repair the bow wouldn't hurt, since with his resistances this method will take AWHILE without frost arrows

i would log on and help but I am not gonna be at my pc for hours

[steep tusk]

No need to cheese 🤷‍♂️

[echo sparrow]

no there's no NEED, but every player has there varying opinions on what is 'cheese' and what even if it is, is acceptable

[sleek herald]

Bake 'em over a surtling flame

[true steeple]

If you have to cheese a boss that means you aren’t strong enough for what’s ahead

[steep tusk]

Scale issue.

[echo sparrow]

one man's cheese is another man's clever manipulation of the mechanics the game puts at your disposal

[short cosmos]

if ur not gonna fight the boss how its intended, it's cheese

[steep tusk]

Intended way to fight all bosses:

Make sure their health reaches zero before yours does. 😉

[echo sparrow]

the most fun way honestly

[steep tusk]

Fun is subjective 😉

[short cosmos]

I wanna try fighting all bosses with 10 ppl lol it seems fun

[true steeple]

Fighting ten bosses with ten people

[subtle parrot]

All at the same damn time

[echo sparrow]

in one big melee

that'd be an entertaining watch--not even enough bosses in the game to fill all ten, whose getting duplicated?

[short cosmos]

eikthyr 🤣

[true steeple]

Ten faders

[echo sparrow]

the eight bosses including the one that doesn't exist yet, and all three hildir raids

[forest crag]

Guys i cant play valheim

[native parcel]

hello friends! quick question, i just killed yaggy and im wondering if the raids that spawn after him start after the kill or after the placement of the trophy? im in the middle of a huge build and dont want a goblin raid to spawn while im building ^.^ thanks gjall!

[real nebula]

His raid key activates as soon as you've killed him.

[echo sparrow]

you can TEMPORARILY turn off raids if you want

world modifiers can be changed EACH time you load the world (amazing stuff), among them disabling raids entirely

[native parcel]

oh wait, you are so right!! thank you!! i have barely every played in the mistlands so i wanted to make a huge main base in the plains as a starting point 🫡

[short cosmos]

plains and mountains are the best looking areas in the game 🙂

[ripe bone]

would agree if not for mistlands

[regal ocean]

How do I keep greydwarfs away from my carrots

[ripe bone]

build?

[short cosmos]

mistlands blows, it only looks good with all of the mist removed, even then it doesn't look that good imo

[ripe bone]

Its the most absolutely GORGEOUS vivid vibrant biome, removing all of the mist is absurd because theres all sorts of valleys without it and you can go above it and around it etc etc...

mistlands > plains > mountains > black forest > meadows > deep north > ashlands > ocean > swamp

[short cosmos]

those all sorts of valleys are useless since they don't have mines, or camps 99% of the time since they aren't considered the main mistlands islands

plains is the most beautiful biome imo & mountains the most unique, if mistlands was removed from the game I'm sure everyone would be happy 🙂

[ripe bone]

everyone as in like 36% of people

I know i would be up in arms

[echo sparrow]

damn, Ashalnds get NO love

[ripe bone]

Its really not pretty in any way, its gloomy, its tedious to have a base in

its the best biome for content....and the best biome never to really stay in.

[native parcel]

i think they all have their own vibes that can be built in and look really really cool!

[short cosmos]

plains > mountains > ashlands > swamp > meadows > forest > mistlands > ocean imo

[native parcel]

even mixing and matching looks awesome. ashlands build pieces in the black forest look so cool! or making something in the swamp?? awesome too!

[ripe bone]

that mistlands rating is CUH-RAAA-ZEE

the swamp over the meadows and forest is diabolical

[short cosmos]

swamp has a cool atmosphere

[ripe bone]

its an ugly horrible and annoying biome

with a mid boss

[short cosmos]

meadows serves it purpose as the starting biome, forest is overated as hell

we're talking abt looks not content 😄

[ripe bone]

i was too but i'm going back and forth

[short cosmos]

if it was content I think

[ripe bone]

the black forest has fucking amaazing little details and ferns and plants, just down amongst the ground and stuff.

[short cosmos]

Ashlands > Plains > Mistlands > Mountains > Swamp > Forest > Meadows > Ocean 🤷

[ripe bone]

Mmmmmm

ashlands > mistlands > mountains > swamp > forest > meadows > ocean > plains. 🎃

The plains really really underwhelmed and disappointed to me the first time i got to them

no light armor, an armor set made of iron??, no blackmetal armor?, less weapons overall?, no magical effects on any of the weapons?, useless lox cape and useless linen cape?.

[short cosmos]

lox cape is awesome, padded armor looks cool, black metal weapons are cool, the biome looks amazing, sealed towers, stone formations all around, etc

[steep tusk]

Lox cape is probably my favorite in the whole game.

[ripe bone]

Cool cool.....anyways, still useless.

the wolf cape exists, enough said, no reason to use the lox cape.

padded armor looks fine if not disappointing for the lack of some crazy looking black metal armor, it should be a medium armor set or something.

[short cosmos]

wolf cape is ugly and lox cape is easier to get 😉

[frosty frost]

¨The mace is better for him personally, but sledge will be usefull for his summons 🙂

[steep tusk]

"Something with more armor is useless." 🤔

[echo sparrow]

didn't the original plains lack tar pits and the sealed towers? i could see how without those it would feel kinda barren

[steep tusk]

Yes.

[echo sparrow]

as is, think it's a great spot, totally agree though the earlier capes need more to distinguish them mechanically

lox & linen capes literally are no better than the previously available wolf cape

[steep tusk]

Still felt fine tbh.
It's Plains.
When you think of plains-type terrain irl, you're not imaging crowded, busy, populated areas.

[echo sparrow]

it's 100% down to aesthetic preference at that point

[steep tusk]

Ah, interesting. Ashen is the only cape with notable armor stats.

[echo sparrow]

i wish all capes had some unique buff to at least give some argument for them--especially when they're the only piece of armor that arguably never goes obsolete/diminshes value, since all BUT the ashen 'combat cape' have identical armor

[echo sparrow]

exactly

[frosty frost]

If you will wait around 10 minutes i can join 🙂

[steep tusk]

Which actually makes my Ashlands warrior armor better, lol.

Because the Ask set gives you the stamina cost reduction, but you lose 10 armor per piece (30 total) compared to Flametal.
But the Ash Cape gives you 14 of those 30 points back. (18 armor vs. 4) and gives you even more stamina reduction.
