>>3068932Somebody should make a guide like for Grausten. My build is starting to look better but it's still very boxy. I'm trying to build something reminiscent of Neuschwanstien Castle but even with making use of all the decorative pieces making designs on the otherwise flat faces of the walls it just lacks the same kind of definition you see along the stonework in picrel. I'll post actual pictures of the build later tonight and maybe get some suggestions. I might just have to temper my expectations for what I can do when trying to recreate a somewhat realistic look while building with grausten almost exclusively.
Time to finally sail home
>>3068932Is there a way to tell which characters have map data for which world? I have a bunch of old characters and worlds and idk which character belongs to which, and it takes a fat minute to load into every world
>>3069046I think that may be part of the issue; don't build with grausten exclusively, work in some stone and maybe even black marble if possible
So with the forge of potential changes you can't save scum anymore? I guess we have to depend on modders to make it fair. I feel like collecting the idols is enough of pain. Deleting the item is overkill.
>>3071333How did they change it?
>>3071375
>>3071382No fun allowed. Every time with the Swedes.
>>3071382Savescumming is scumfuck behavior but that is the most retardedly Swedish thing I have ever heard lol. It doesn't even solve the problem.
>>3071382Honestly just install the mod to make it 100% then use it if you're on Hard difficulty for like Black Metals and maybe boost feather cape to 12 armor and leave it there when you beat or are halfway through it and can reasonably make the armor cape there.Try to make it fair, I didn't use any flamemetals or Deep North ones because I'd be bullshitting through the game with that, I just wanted feather cape to not suck and fenris gear to allow me to take a hit while I sprint around Mistlands searching for shit.
>>3071382The idols are already rare as fuck. Why not add an exponentially scaling resource cost with each upgrade. Lottery item deletion mechanics don't belong in this game.
>>3071382Removing the forge would be better, but this is a slight improvement, getting level 20 items was retarded
>>3071382The only thing I used forge on that I actually used was feather cape and the black metal pickaxe, modded to not fail, and it's not like I have some bullshit +20 cape for free armor, I left it at 12 armor after I finished Ashlands to be fair since the Ashlands and Deep North capes rock a bunch of armor by default.Absolutely slammed a ton into the pickaxe though, just 2 shot each individual flametal and annihilate all rocks whenever I want, call the valheim police I don't give a fuck.
>>3071382What's even the point in making it a gamle? The whole thing should be reworked.>fully upgrade piece of gear>use an idol from the next biome to upgrade that piece of gear to that biome>you can now upgrade it again with materials from that tier>repeatSo if I wanted to bring my troll set all the way to the endgame I'd need to fully upgrade it, find an iron idol to make it swamp-tier, then use a bunch of iron to upgrade it again, use a silver idol to make it mountains-tier and so on. Would let you keep using your favorite set for the whole game if you're willing to deal with the massive resource cost instead of just grabbing a higher tier armor set for cheap.
>>3058831A little more decorating to do but my new house is pretty much done, liking how it turned out
>>3073819Got a cellar for storage too
No spoinlers but is there a stronger pickaxe and wood axe in ashlands or deep north? I am wondering if I should use the forge of potential to upgrade my black metal shit.
>>3073946No stronger pickaxe, but there are better wood axes. The black metal axe can chop any kind of wood, it's just slower than what you can get later
>>3073819top comf
I like valheim pictures that get posted. game's visuals lowkey underrated
>>3073578That would be better.Would feel a bit dumb if someone runs around with a flint knife that is as good as a black metal knife in plains, but it's better than what the current system is.Also an issue of earlier weapons costing less stamina, so you'd be better off clinging to your bronze sword.
>>3071382My collection keeps growing. I may start treating them as cosmetic set pieces at this point. The ashlands keep giving me black marble idols, and the only reason to boost mistland weapons is if I ever wanted to boost skelly raiser to 10 to make a "welcome to the bone zone" build. The ashlands weapons are so busted, and the funniest thing, is that the weapon level doesn't even matter with them.I tried the zappy berserkir axes since I do an axe run and there is no 2 handed axe in Ashlands. They start at 140 slash damage and 10 lightning damage. Each level up only adds 5 slash damage, the lightning damage is unaffected by level, and the 25% chain lightning effect for 75 damage isn't affected either. The blood infusion is a meme because by the time you are missing 100 HP to get a 20% more damage, you are within oneshot range in ashlands and deep north. It has only one use, to make a sniper build with the Ripper, cast a couple shields to safely drop your HP, shoot once on an unaware enemy, and then continue the fight with something else.
>>3074277Speaking of these axes, this is a 1.2k HP enemy, on hard, so I'm dealing 0.85 of my damage. Do you think save scumming with idols for +5 slash would even matter with such a weapon? The important stats on a weapon don't scale with level sadly, notably the elemental damage and the block armour, so nerfing the forge at this point makes even less sense.
>>3074282Seems like some weapons kind of double dip.Apparently Frostner just gives more frost, but Silver Sword gets both slash+spirit, and Mistwalker gets frost+spirit.
>>3074282Doesn't even seem worth the time it takes to savescum. Genuinely the only use I've had for the forge is upgrading my fucking hammer so that I can build for longer without repairing it.
>>3074303>Doesn't even seem worth the time it takes to savescumShould be very quick.For armor you'd get more obvious benefits too.I wouldn't say it's worth it, since I don't think the game is better if I walk into the next biome with +50 armor.
>>3074316If you're gonna savescum you might as well just get a mod that makes the success rate 100% and save yourself some time
>>3074321That's true
>>3074316>since I don't think the game is better if I walk into the next biome with +50 armor.They have added world modifiers way before the 1.0 release. If someone wants to make the game easier, could have done that a long time ago.
>>3074337Yeah I'm not lowering difficulty for the same reason I'm not savescumming the forge, or really using it much at all really.I made my skoll and hati go from lvl 3 to 4 before ashlands.If I'll get an mp game going and my friend really likes his silver sword or frostner, I'll maybe have some fun grinding for it to maybe get it to level 7 so they can use them for longer.
>>3074282makes me yearn for more chunkier enemies.Like if you had more modifiers than just stars, and walked into a fuling village and they all have a little grey circle underneath their health bars, which indicate they're "Iron Fulings" wiht 50 armor, +200 health and +100% health, on top of whatever stars they may have.
>>3071382This is the worst way to "fix" this. Better to just make a level 10 cap with the forge of potential and make each upgrade have a 100% success rate.
>>3069074I hope you kept some iron in the plains to build an imposing massive castle to flex on the fulings
Do Asksvin not have a breeding cap? Holy shit they breed like rabbits.
>>3073578The problem could've been solved, if the forge was able to transmog your armor. Valheim lacks in fashion.
>>3075039Before 1.0 I kept the silver helm into ashlands because it made my character distinct from my friends and I was experienced enough that I didn't feel like I needed to maximize armor.Having it straight up function as a carapace or later flametal armor wouldn't sit right with me, just like WoW transmog doesn't sit right with me, I like there to be a continuum between what people wear and what I see.There's a lot you could do in terms of aesthetics though.Even back in 2021, I wanted some more options, like being able to craft a padded armor helmet with horns from the silver helm. With some extra modelling work you could do a lot of fun stuff like that so you still see the general item it is, but with some other aspects on top.Like same mats as padded helmet, but adding drake trophy and you can have the horned variant.Also while I'm at it, fenring or ulv trophy should be used for a dark wolf cloak.
>>3074991>Holy shit they breed like rabbits.yeah I feel like chickens and asksvin in particular kinda have an exlosion growth
>>3075093They really should add more color options for armour. Shield have a nice set of colors and heraldry and it would be cool if armor had the same.
Construction on Fort Norf has begunHoly shit this is going to take so much iron and stone
>>3075438Battering ram in mistlands is pretty good for stone and iron
>>3075466oh also copper, and you can use dvergr metal walls instead of iron for metal support
>>3075466Ye gonna be doing that for the stoneAlready have two full carts of iron waiting in my swamp outpost, just gotta bring it home and smelt it
>>3068932https://youtu.be/0pFSbTa2w44https://youtu.be/TWbHCGJ_Eg8https://youtu.be/wYyvB8tUooUhttps://youtu.be/JCSFiSg4G-Qhttps://youtu.be/x8hc_JEBD0Yhttps://youtu.be/2EFo8VRx7bE
>>3073819first person valheim feels illegal
>>3075690it's funfighitng groups of enemies and hearing big enemies get closer is especailly scary, my first trip into a swamp felt way sketchier than it should've been
>>3075164I dislike how the wood paneling on the silver shield is asymmetrical, nobody would build a shield like that
>>3075466>>3075490isn't the trollstav also a good mining tool? the meteor has a huge AoE doesn't it? then you can use the trolls it spawns to break stuff too
>>3075690I like it a lot, makes it feel more like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which I highly recommend checking out
>>3075755unironically was thinking about checking out, but wasn't sure which edition to download, and about mods too, so i just downloaded valheim and forgot about skyrim
>>3075732I don't see it under pickaxe damage, but the troll itself should destroy stuff.Roots should work too.Maybe ember charges beat them all though, haven't used those.I imagine those would be great for crypts too, just throwing them at each mud scrap pile.maybe it's retarded, but I wonder if it could be good to bring asksvin eggs and then planting them next to a fire in a small enclosure near places you want farmed, and then basically gambling on them aggroing mobs and destroying rocks in the area.Might work for black forests and mistlands, mountains they'd probably run off.
>>3075768If you're unsure about which edition to buy, just try all of them and see which one you like the most
>>3075778Sounds reasonable enough. Should i buy starfield, while im at it?
>>3075789Absolutely! Just be aware that it's a next gen game and you may have to upgrade your PC, but it's totally worth it
>>3075466why not use ember charges?
>>3076650I didn't know about them
Ashwood is really clean for indoors trimming. I tried it outside as well, but I saw some weird bugs, like it's getting rendered only in very close range and 40 meters away it disappears.
>>3071382Instead of "fixing" this because players cheat in a single player game where no one cares why don't the devs improve the gameplay a little? server-side characters would end all those save scumers for the people who cares, workshop, automatic mod syncing when joined a moded server, an actual console for the server, can't believe the only way to execute a command on the server is by login in with a previously configured account. How about adding early access to magic?, making paths buff your walk speed, a bigger cart for loxes, a secure way to transport your mascots by ship,
>>3078417>How about adding early access to magic?That would suck
Would you pay for an expansion to continue the adventure in another of the yggdrasil's worlds? You would have to cross a portal like in Minecraft
>>3075438Progress is being made. Good lord I must've gone through like 200 stacks of stone
>>3078979I'd prefer a sequel
Are there any must have things before attempting the queen? I plan to use magic.
>>3079961Not really.Imo some kind of aoe is important, but you have that solved with magic. With ranged I guess AoE is less important anyway.Grappling hook is really nice.
>>3080440bretty comfy, just need a blunt and some wine.
>>3080451Best I've got is some meads.
Any cooking recipes or anything that uses Asksvin eggs?
>>3080492If you're playing without any nsfw mods - then i dont think so.
>>3080682>Asksvin eggs>nsfw modsTell me more. You're sparked a morbid curiosity.
>>3079961make a respawn room in the hidden compartment behind the wood paneling near the entrancebring lots of food and potions
Finally made it to the ashlands but this place feels aimless. Where are the dungeons and weapon upgrades?
>>3082441There are some caves with new cores you'll want, and the main thing are the forts with the big green beam coming out of them
I'd like a yardmode for multiplayerSeeing your skills progress is fun, so losing all of them would be sad, but playing on a deadly difficulty in multiplayer and utilizing a lot of backup gear would be fun, especially since you'd have more goals in terms of renewable gear.
>>30799615 poison resistance meads and a shitton of HP mead
>>3079961Consider equipping Root Harnesk if you usually go with 2 eitr armors and 1 tank, since the pierce resist will help a lot in the fight. 2/4 of the queen's attacks are pierce damage and 2/3 of the seekers' attacks are also pierce. The portal in the secret room at the stairs outside the queen's arena is also a must, you will die during the fight especially if you are solo. Other than that, as a solo mage, I'd either craft some bile bombs and a stack of ooze bombs, they will do a lot of damage when you are out of eitr, or when the queen decides to stay in one place for a while. Or if you don't like the bombs, carrying a Demolisher could come in handy for the out of mana situations. Oh, and turn off auto-pickup when you are fighting her, you don't want to be encumbered when you pick up your tombstone due to carrying 200 meats and royal jelly from the ground. Other than that, stock up for an hour long fight, poison resist, lingering stamina, a ton of eitr bottles, decent foods both on you and on a chest near your respawn bed. Most people consider the queen as the longest fight in the game, not because she is harder than the next 2 bosses, but because your power level is kinda low at Mistlands compared to how much stronger you will be in Ashlands when you fight that boss.
I s anyone interested in a public /vm/ server?I like the idea of seeing other people's builds around mine and wouldn't mind hosting
>>3083319I'd be down after I'm done with my current playthrough, had fun playing back in the day with /valg/.I dunno if we'll be able to come to an agreement regarding mods and rules though. Nothing is stopping some dipshit from rushing through everything and killing bosses, leaving everyone else fighting seekers with clubs in the meadows.

>>3083319i've been asking for one for 3 threads already
>>3083319I'd be intrigued. I've never gone past the plains biome though. Would we be starting with completely new unleveled characters or would we be allowed to bring established ones? I think the latter would be alright if everyone also agreed to start gearless as well.
>>3083346I'd be happy with one boss kill per week, other than that I don't have many suggestions. Restricting materials sounds nice but at the same time I would like to get timber early for building with
>>3083485gotta be server side characters and fresh
My first nomap, no portal run... I'm still looking for the elder, but hey! that looks like a nice tower!
>>3083170>utilizing a lot of backup gear would be funthere's so much grind in this game that I don't think you realize how unfun this would bewhat you want as stated here:>playing on a deadly difficulty in multiplayer and utilizing a lot of backup gear would be funcan be achieved by disabling portals, so that you need a backup set for your corpse run
>>3083319If you do, prepare some kind of rollback measures as it's almost guaranteed someone will grief the place
>>3083633>unfun this would beFor you
>>3083338>Nothing is stopping some dipshit from rushing through everything and killing bosses, leaving everyone else fighting seekers with clubs in the meadows.there's that setting that makes raids dependent on individual player progression rather than world progression, so you'd never trigger a seeker raid on yourself
>>3083565>boar jerky lasting more than 30minFor what purpose?
>>3083642you said it was for a multiplayer experience so I'm thinking of everyone besides yourself
>>3083654I don't want to play don't starve.
Getting some minor use out of riding asksvin for one way trips, using their stamina to get where I went, and then running back on foot when I'm heading home.I don't want mounts to be so good that they become standard issue, but it would be nice if you could calm them down a bit faster.Like petting them scaled by your riding skill, so whenever you dismount you have a chance to slow them down.
Ok guys I started a new server66.51.97.57:2452/v/alheimPassword: chudpass123 I'll keep posting it in the threads and we'll see how much traction it gets. Try not to bum rush the bosses
>>3084000
>>3084000Ngl, i strongly dislike anything that is not x1 resources. I feel like it kills all fun.
>>3084205I could turn it back to 1x if preferred. I know some prefer 1.5x
I'm gonna say it. Doing corpse runs on hard sucks guacamole nigga dick, especially in Ashlands. A one starred marksman does 200 damage, now imagine trying to pick up your corpse between 2 marksmen, 4 charred goys that followed you for the past 5 miles, 3-4 vultures and a morgen, and that's if you died on land and weren't headbutted by an asksvin into lava making your gear almost unretrievable unless you had these platform bombs crafted beforehand. Not to mention the 2-3 levels of each skill getting lost on death. Yes I know I can change death conditions on world settings, it's just that playing on hard amplifies some of the game's core faults instead of just making the game's combat actually harder.
>>3084205I'm down for 1x.>>3084241Are the rest of the settings standard?
>get further inland in Ashlands>about to take over another fortress>valkyrie too close for comfort>lure it out, kill it>grapple up and attack a ballista>see another Valkyrie approaching fast from the other side of the fortressliterally 2 valks in the same spot in 3-4 minutes
>mom come pick me up, I'm scared
>>3084295Yes all norrmalTomorrow I will change it back to 1x item drops. I think early game is good to get some wood but getting 2 moder eggs on a cick for example can dampen the journey
>>3084528If only you could make x2 stacksize. THAT would be nice.
>>3084564I could be wrong but I think inventory slots can be doubled through bepinex, and that only needs server configuration
A lot of design decisions are so baffling fucking retarded I guess that what happens when you're swedish
>>3084354my goodness i spent so long kiting this guy once upon a time
>>3084528>back to 1x item dropsIt was fun while it lasted. I'm exaggerating a bit. Will the server be up later or are there specific hours that it'll be active for?
>>3084000I'll join but only if we're all starting new characters cause if not that's gay. also I don't do voice chat, that's even gayer.
>>3084810>all starting new characters cause if not that's gayElaborate.
>>3084810I started a new character.
>>3084795It's hosted by independent website I paid, so it should remain up 24/7 all goes well
>>3084967Kewl. I wanted to finish my house. Mich obliged for the server rental.
>>3084983You can finish my house too, while you're at it. Its the ugly one.
>>3084000managed to finish something. feel free to use it, the view is nice from up there
>>3084989Is it the teepee?
>>3085524Yes. I tried to make something ROUND and TALL, but mid-building i suddenly realized, or, rather, remembered, that i hate building, i hate roofing, and i hate jerking off snap points and clipping shit into shit.Technically i could just cover all in roofs and call it a day, but it would be extra-ugly, and i dont want to curse this multiplayer world with something this horrid.
>>3085545It's a little unorthodox but I think I can make it work after I'm done with my house.
>>3085561Most of it was just me fiddling and trying to see if i can make it work or not. I tried to include windows (but because building is round - it was near-impossible for me). And i tried just in general to map out the circle first, and then try to work with it. Which..sort of worked, i guess. Maybe i should have settle for something much different, just spam log-walls (instead of roofs/plank walls), or...i dunno. Maybe its just near-impossible to build something round and tall with just wood, without stone.
>>3084243this and I hate progression in ashlands. Fucking chore to kill anything, fucking chore to go a few steps further. We spent 3 hours going to the first fortress and fighting it and all we got unlocked is some (pretty broken as all magic) root summoning staff. Good luck slogging to find and clear more fortresses before real gear upgrade I suppose
If I'm getting raids where the deer boss besets the woodland creatures upon me in a rage, does that mean you all already killed the deer boss once?
>>3085636Like all biomes it becomes a joke once you gear up. It takes like one flametal pillar to get enough ore for a set of armor, after which everything tickles you and you're no longer in dangerYou can stop them from sinking into the lava by just jumping into a portal to unload the area btw
>>3085694If the deer boss is sending raids it hasn't been killed yet. You get greynig raids from the elder instead if eikthyr is deadI think there's an option for making it character specific instead of world wide so that you can still get deer raids deapite others having killed him
>>3085703I am on hard tho. Can't really tell for myself, because my armour is a mix of everything, but my partner is close to complete flametal armor and he taking a lot of damage right now. I am more annoyed about lack of actual damage to take off enemies fast enough to not be swarmed. I guess magic is the key here, but everything melee is just painfull, especially with 2 player buffs to enemy health.
>>3085835Get flametal weapons and upgrade them with the gems you find in forts, lightning weapons are great
>>3085859Well, we got 3 green gems and 1 blue for now. I vaguely suppose we need something third color to start enchanting, or maybe I missed some unlock
>>3085878All it takes is to have one of the gems and a blank flametal weapon at a black forgeGreen is for poison, blue for lightning and red for blood (bonus damage when you're hurt)
>>3085902God damn, I should've upgraded black forge with all things to see it, thanks, anon!
>>3085918I always forget about forge upgrades myself lelHope the enchanted weapons help, the lightning ones at least should be way better than what you currently have
I hate how base defense devolves into digging motes or raising walls.
>>3086124That's why i turned off raids.
>>3084000Hey, wait a minute... this isn't Valheim, we landed in Africa!
>>3086354We wuz vikangz n shiet
Let it be known that Holdfastt and Hringr saved the /v/illage from a fearsome troll
Ok, im starting to see the pattern. I log in, im trying to build something cool, i fail, i ragequit.
>>3086520Ashlands is pretty horrifying at night
>>3086721Sorry if I assume this is your next building attempt incorrectly.I like to think I can see the vision here; circular log cabin. I tried some rough "sketches" and after offsetting with 1m wood beams and I can get ye olde lincoln logs interlocking INTERLINKED corners without the full 2m stickout of the smaller corewood logs. BUT, there is a good amount of manual placement and I had to increase the corner angle up from 90 degrees, so it'd necessitate even more material.
Does falmetal not collapse into the lava anymore? I also thought it spawned Valkyrie when you mine it.
>>3086834They still sink, you probably just got lucky enough to not trigger it. It's random.They never spawned Valkyries, that would have just been random chance if you experienced that before.
>>3086834>Release date: 27 August 2024>0.218.21>Chance for Flametal Spires to start sinking on hit changed from 10% to 1%
>>3085835see >>3074282From what I get so far, Ashlands are balanced around the idea that you will constantly have a blood bubble on you, whether it's casted from you or the party's wizard. Blood bubble supposedly has a damage gate, so you are at least safe from one big hit. Will try it today against the Ashlands' miniboss, since that guy hits for 700ish damage per attack on hard. There's no way I'm tanking or parrying a single hit like that.As for your upgrades, the blue upgrade works great with fast attacking weapons, basically has a 25% chance to spawn a chain lightning that does 75 damage on all nearby enemies, and if these enemies are staggered that damage is doubled. The green upgrade adds poison damage (which most stuff in Ashlands are immune to) and a 20% chance to root the target, which means the target can't move or rotate, so if you root a target, you can just roll behind him and go ham on his ass, refreshing the root effect in the process. As I was typing that last sentence, I think I found my strategy against Lord Reto, I'll just craft a pair of green axes and pray I root him before he smites me.Seriously, infuse a melee weapon asap, and if the wizard knows what he is doing, he will keep you safe with constant bubbles and a portable mini forest of roots for you to fall back when shit goes south.
>>3086821Now featuring our finest, just finished estate: A deluxe one room, no bath, kitchen amenities included yurt. With a spacious and vaulted ceiling interior, it's sure to provide superb reverb for all your throat singing needs. Our patented dual-layer roofing technology system I built it too high so the outer layer doesn't count for shelter bonuses provides adequate protection from the worst of the elements that Thor deems to send your way, all with the additional benefit of a second story balcony to watch the thundergod's storms all while staying nice and dry.

>>3084000What's the verdict on mods? I have a bunch of client-side shit I like to play with like gizmo to rotate things how I want, plant everything for berry bushes, extended inventory for gear slots and such things. Are these kosher or am I a flaming faggot if I join with these?

>>3087663I dunno yet. I wouldn't mind mods (plant everything especially). But for right now it's been vanilla as far as I am aware.
>>3087751I'll keep the ones I consider reasonable for now then and turn them off if we come to a consensus
>>3087763which ones do you consider reasonable?
>>3087764Gizmo for rotating shit, slope combat fix so that you can actually hit things when not on flat terrain, plant everything, and one that lets me use my hammer while swimming so we can build better docks
>plant everything, and one that lets me use my hammer while swimming so we can build better docksrip
>>3087777I'll turn those off if you wish, I don't want to ruin the fun for anyone else
>>3086354the sea next to the villlage is an inland sea, so good luck setting it up as an exploration dock
Greetings from Castletown. The castle which is the town's namesake is basically done, in regards to the exterior anyways. Building with grausten is a tedious experience but I'm happy with the result so far.
>>3088130How happy I am with the build largely depends on the time of day as it looks so much better when the shadows on the stonework reveal the details I put into it.
>>3088133Still have a lot of work to do on the interiors and that's where the materials used will be more diversified. The throne room/main hall is more or less done but the upstairs still needs to be done and I'm going to try to dig out a basement without collapsing anything. Then I'll have to furnish it.
>>3087609Splendid!
>>3088133grausten is incredibly when you have the patience for the detailsnice jobwindows are real neat I'mma steal that
so when are we going to start eikthyr? could use a pickaxe to pick away the ugly stones near the settlement
>>3087609That looks very cool!Maybe i should just stick to boxes, now that i think about it...>>3088458Perhaps AFTER we'll get set to x1 and server-based raids.
This was the guy I was afraid about...
I haven't left the starting island and I still haven't found the elder.
Restarted the server.Resources are now 1x.Player based raids disabled for now.I'd say Eikthyr is free game given how trivial he is
>>3088764Can't connect.
>>3088864I may have fucked the server bare with me.Clicked restart and suddenly it is a new world and there is no Dbl or fwl files less than 12 minutes old even though I set it to back up every 34 and 12 hoursJust opened a ticket
heh, I thought about joining but I was too busynow all the stuff I would've built isn't deleted like all your stuffI won
>>3088884>wiping before I first joinBased if you ask me.
it's so over
>>3088903>>3088916
>>3089013Its so over.
N-no... p-p-please...
Guys I am profoundly sorry about this but it is gubbed. For some reason an entirely new world was generated after I changed the start up settings to 1xI have re-installed and I will be doing a manual back up every night going forward Server is up fresh
>>3089515That's ok. I'll just pretend you didn't did this on purpose.Aanyway, will jump in soon, to gather starting amount of resources for houses. Also - i think its better to post ip/pass again. Just in case. (And this time post pass without space in the end)
>>3089515rip. at least we're just in eikthyr anyway, maybe be careful by doing a backup first before changing modifiers too in case you turn on player based raids later again.anyway, did a quick scout on the starting area, a lot more decent this time since our last map had us settle on an inland sea, the 2 points are good areas for settlement
>>3089515I don't mind, but I also just played for a few hours and made a little hutalso turn off the map and portals this time >:)
>>3088130goodness gracious what a build
killed eikthyr earlier, if anyone wants an antler there's an extra inside the storage room of the "inn" just left of the front entrance
game crashed when I grabbed some bones
>>3090520https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_5TViRI0n0
>>3075722feels pretty jank even with native view angle. Widening to even 90 degrees produces massive fish eye effect and the animations/weapon position never look quite right. How did you get it to feel good? Also, on the topic of mods, anyone have any recommendations that add arpg features, or new combat mechanics? Path of valheim is a massive piece of shit imo, and epicloot seems to have really dumbed itself down since 1.0
>>3090898did copper get bigger or were there multiple veins connected?also i think you should give sarah some copper
>>3091725It was a twofer, yeah.
Gentlemen, my Norf expedition was a success and we now have timber in the village. A few cones are in a chest next to the portal at the wood farm (copper pit we mined earlier, the portal there is by the supply depot) and some have been planted there too. I also planted a few on the hill above us since it was completely fucking barren and the trees are nice to look at. They're there for decoration but feel free to chop em down if you want the space or for whatever other reason.
I hope these little guys will help with the fight. How do you guys fight Fader solo? Do you prefer melee/tank with 3 HP foods? Battlemage with 1 HP, 1 Eitr and mistland feast? Full mage? I'm considering going full mayhem, to lead him to my 20 tamed Asksvin, then summon 2 trolls, 4 skellies, as many roots as possible and when I'm out of eitr, go in melee.
>>30930692hp food, 1 stam food2h swordmade a rough wall to try to keep adds out of the wayhad some shield generators nearby
>>3093085>had some shield generators nearbyI was almost sure these would help with the meteor attacks, I'll try to place 4 around the spawn.
>>3093112the homing flame spike thing destroys them so keep that in mind
So the success chance is tied to the character name. It doesn't matter how rare the idols are, it doesn't matter if you think you are gambling, it's all predetermined. This is the peak brilliance of the Swedish developers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjRsEmpCC6s
>>3093677>I think the big problem is that the idols are finite and, what I think would be better is if they were added to the loot poolIf the idols are part of the loot table, you just create another grind which isn't what anyone purportedly thinks the game needs. The finite aspect of the idols at least adds something to exploration instead of grinding.The system is retarded, but like almost everyone else trying to suggest fixes for it are also retarded.>"this game is so tedious and grindy.. they should change the forge so it gives an even bigger incentive to grinding"
>>3093721>The system is retarded, but like almost everyone else trying to suggest fixes for it are also retarded.I tried to defend it at first and either consider ways to fix it, or at least ways to use it in my solo playthrough so I won't be impacting anyone else. But the more I play the game the more I see these idols are pointless. As I said earlier on this thread, playing on hard amplifies the game's faults instead of making the game more challenging, and one of the faults is that 2 handed weapons get no (parry) block armor per level. That means a lvl 20 iron battleaxe will always be worse than a lvl 4 crystal battleaxe, because the former can't even parry a stone golem or a starred fenring. So even with savescumming, I end up with a worse weapon than the one I'll get 30 minutes into the next biome. Same case when you jump from Mistlands to Ashlands. A base infused Nidhogg is way better than a lvl 20 Mistwalker, because the former has twice the stagger per attack. Twice. So, playing on Normal and below, most people don't need the savescummed weapons because the game is already easy enough to not need them, and on Hard and above, you don't want the savescummed weapons because the stats you start to need, don't scale per level so the savescumming for extra levels is pointless. >The finite aspect of the idols at least adds something to exploration instead of grinding.What does it add exactly? A spin at the wheel of fortune where you know whether you win or lose is predetermined, and that the thing you may win, adds nothing?As for whatever the faggot says on the video, making the game more grindy, to gamble gear just like in KMMOs, with fucking predetermined results based on character names, is simply retarded and detached from reality. Anyways, here's my new house. Considering whether to hide last 2 cauldron upgrades and if I could add something else here.
>>3093677i dont understand why the forge idols are even a thing for pre-mountain biome when you can't find it earlier than that anyway. am i wrong? I have never found it outside mountains
>>3093836>What does it add exactly?You find idols in locations throughout the map, so it adds something to exploration since you explore and find idols, rather than his suggestion of just grinding mobs for idols.I think Exploration>Grinding, but regardless of that the forge is stupid.>Anyways, here's my new house. Considering whether to hide last 2 cauldron upgrades and if I could add something else here.Very neat.Maybe you could add something above the oven and windows.Like making cupboard above the oven and put whatever in there.
>>3093896Root Harnesk is already pretty common for people to use throughout mistlands, and even competitive for Fader in ashlands.It's a pre mountain item, but if you can boost it it becomes even more relevant later on.
>>3093915i mean does it? The good part of it is the resistance it gives to pierce. Giving it a few more armor isnt changing how much damage you take by a significant amount. You get like 2 more armor per level? Maybe if additional forge levels upped armor sets to be on par with next biome levels to keep deprecated gear tier relevant it'd be worth doing, but nah
>>3094003hm, yeah I guess it doesn't change that much.More damage reduction is always better, but looking at Fader damage against flametal vs flametal+root harnesk(lvl 4) vs flametal+root harnesk(lvl 9) it isn't that much better.Sum of damage from Fader's attacks, all with ashen cape142 armor, Full flametal: 213.7 damage114 armor, pierce resist, lvl 4 root harnesk, rest flametal: 95.6 damage124 armor, pierce resist, lvl 9 root harnesk, rest flametal: 87.9 damageIt's more relevant, but it's so marginal it feels like whatever.I guess the bigger impact of a high level root harnesk is that it closes the gap against the non piercing attacks more.So if you wear it for the ranged fulings and deathsquitos, you feel the tradeoff against the rest of the plains less.Same with mistlands.
>>3094084even in this contrived example, it's not relevant. Youll have 325 health with full hp food for fader. You can take 3 hits and end up with 38 hp with a level 4 harnesk. At level 9, you'll be able to take 3 hits and be left with 61 hp. Youll have 18 hps regen so thats 1 tick of health regen worth of damage saved. If thats make or break for you enough to farm that much to level the harnesk through dozens of failures, then maybe you could have spent that time actually learning the fight instead? The forge system really outlines the holes in their damage and armor formulas
Splendid builds in the server
>>3094290vgh... sovl...
>>3091725Dont worry - they gave me some copper.
>>3094216>even in this contrived example,I think you need to look into the full context of my reply
>>3094616You're gonna use bonemass for that boss
>>3094943Completely irrelevant to the point of root harnesk FoP upgrades only being marginally better compared to regular root harnesk
>>3094640
Farm plots I added on top of Chuddnar's.Forgot one, bit north of town in the forest among some raspberries, there's a road to it.
>>3096446the bee hive garden is very cute
alright returning for attempt #2 at hard combat, ultimate ironman (lose character, lose world on death), normal resources, more raids, no portals, no mapwill update at the end of the session
Is new content post-1.0 total cope or are they actually going to add more biomes
>>3097835it's gonna be copetentgenuinely new biomes are a pipe dream, maybe paid DLC at the most
>>3097835I remember reading somewhere that the devs want to make a space game now or something. I can't remember where I saw it.
>>3094943>You're gonna use bonemass for that bossNTA, killed Fader last night. Picking up Root Harnesk for the fight meant that I could play with a different power. Either Yagluth for 10% damage or Queen for eitr regen, wearing the roots makes the Bonemass pointless. If you can kite Fader's fire attacks, you can also kite the random charred warriors he will spawn (and also kill them in 1 attack), and you would be drinking fire resist mead anyways. Speaking of the fight, I went with battlemage. Summoned a few trolls till I couldn't anymore due to food degrading, then I switched to the staff of the wild for long range poke, and every time I saw an opening, I went in, pulled a combo with the berserkir axes, did 1.2k damage with a full combo plus the 6 chances to proc lightning arcs, then moved back, reapplied bubble if needed and repeated the process. I won't lie, it was the easiest fight after Eikthyr and Moder. I started with 28 minutes of comfort buff, after spawning him, killing him, delivering the head through portals and going back to the base, I still had 4 minutes left. Zero deaths on hard. For comparison I died 3 times at the Elder, 5 at the Bonemass and 7 at the 1 hour long fight with the Queen. The 20 tamed lizards were pointless, only 2 stayed in range long enough to get aggro, the other 18 died from a fire spike attack 100m away from the arena, at least they drew one attack I guess.
>>309755411th night64 copper ore24 tin1 survival shelterno interest in killing eikthyr and getting blasted by a skeleton raidso a few days of kiting and dodging a troll and navigating around an unfortunately located bearthe rum keeping me motivated (the irl rum)there's a leviathan in raft distance of the coast right off the startgood ol' coastlines and biome lines keep me navigatedthe East/West of the sun works and I keep a build piece oriented on the cardinal when I need but only to need it once.there's something to be said about doing this: it gets comfortable. just autododging the same troll over and over without thinking about itdouble-tapping the greydwarves when you feel like it, watching the brutes get stuck in the hole made by the troll and the one-star bow skelly you ran from earlier getting killed by your forest foes.it builds overconfidence. makes you almost forget yourself and cross back into the bear, or stop paying attention to the rested, fall into water next to the tin, and you think you're gonna dodge roll the next hit when you have no staminabut we were fine.took a long, loooong walk for more flint to come back and see that deep night sky and feel an emotion you haven't felt since you were eight, and the world was still mystical.
>>3098154It's all fun and games till the game rolls the 1.4% and spawns a 2 starred draugr and you get onetapped out of nowhere. Until then, I hope you have enough rum.
Bonemass this saturday?
>>3098372Yeah. What time?
Ok this isn't epic. Can't build for one night without getting invaded by a treenigga.
>>3098683up to you guys, just want to get to iron so we can start building stone>>3098793have you been inside the Deep north dungeons yet?
>>3098986>>3098372did y'all kill elder?if so please leave a key in base
>>3099079oh fuck i mean elder, forgot we still haven't gotten elder yet
I used to want a set of serpentscale armor, but honestly I think just a chestpiece would be enough, every type of armor doesn't need something for each slot, mix and matching is common anyway.
>>3099094ohh okay lolI was thinking of swinging by a swamp just to snipe some oozers since they drop iron, only need 2 for a stonecutter
>>3098986>have you been inside the Deep north dungeons yet?I found the first type of dungeons, still didn't find the rest. Need 9 more cores to make the forge as well but I still haven't found any of the big trolls for the new metal. Btw, does anyone else have this type of Aurora Borealis where it looks like it has tiny holes everywhere? Is it maybe due to a setting I had disabled?
holy shit the timberwood yield from the trees are utter dogshit. it gives you 5 seeds per tree but fucking hell you barely get enough for 2 stacks chopping down a lot of trees>>3099120>holesthink those are noise textures
>root is all dried updang, never dried up a root with just one extractor beforeguess I've been visiting it more than usual
Can't even avoid the foid menace in my vidyaIt's over
>>3074354That's a cool idea but maybe have them tied to boss kills? Like "iron filings" don't appear before you've killed the Queen in the Mistlands and "armored fulings" appear after you've killed Fader in the Ashlands.
>>3098306slow and steady wins the race.the get bones to kill bones is, imo, the worst part of the whole game.
>>3098306>evil valheim patch notes>fixed a bug where 2 star draugr archers would sometimes spawn outside of stones
type /s for world chat btw
/s understood, thank you.
/s I have enclosed 2 boars*, idk if it's worth it.
>>3101520we have 1 star boars in the base tamed, and I have about 60-70% progress on 2 star boar, but they're on an island to the south.Will have to breed them there, then ship over the kids.
https://youtu.be/zOdS-g9MWgA>still jittery in MP even for successful youtuberswell that's somewhat comforting
Grokk did you join with an old character?You have silver gear like the lox cape, we're in pre elder progression and that's post bonemass progression
>>3101760I mean TECHNICALLY its possible to find exposed silver vein, and farm other things, to craft all that pre-elder.However - yes, i 100% believe that its not made here.Also belt for 150 weight.
I finally made it to deep north but I think I will call it quits. If I never finish the final zone the adventure never ends.
>>3101867Trust me - you wont finish it quickly anyway.
>>3101908new londo waterpark went a little overboard
>>3101866You can find silver with the stagbreaker, just keep hitting the floor until you get "too hard"
>>3102025and you can get a troll or abomination to break it for you, but that anon most assuredly did not do that
>>3102025You can get 900 black metal pre-Eikthyr.
>>3075673https://youtu.be/eu0b8sntQDs>>3102070Oh?
>>3102082Scap metal, i meant.But that doesn't mean that having 900 scap black metal is not a bit suspicious.
>>3102100900 scrap black metal doesn't mean a whole lot if you can't smelt it. Where are you even getting that much, goblin genocides?
>>3101760yeah I brought an old character, cause I didn't know how far along you all were. it's not like I'm at end game or anything, but if you want I can start a new one.
>>3102155Just being naked is fine.
3 surtling spawners close to bogwitchbogwitch portal at chuddnar's houseCurrent path is pretty convenient to use, could tidy it up a bit, especially by spawn proof the inside area better between the surtling spawners and the bog witchdon't worry, I removed the workbenches that blocked the surtling spawns
>>3102155yeah just create a new one
>>3102109I mean, just because its possible - doesn't means its ok. I see it akin to using worldviewer. If its ok - then it'll be a totally different game. For everyone.
>>3102170Based trailmaker>>3102249I never meant to imply it was
Can't believe a big ass tree only gives you 3 wood.
Have tp to elder.In MY house tp right to it.Also elder is right in the ghost darkwood, lol (i made a note about that on the table)
>>3102299That's 1x resources for ya
>>3102312There was already a portal up to the northern elder altar lol
>>3102377
you guys should plant a bunch of beech trees around the elder arena so that when he attacks, you get a bunch of free wood harvested
Found the ancestor altar while looking for villagesNo use to us right now but good to know where it is

made me gigglei see that we've gotten new hives. just know i was the one that put the fences there because greynigs kept attacking the hives for some reason so do what you will with it
Does wood structures have a different color when placed in the dark forest compared to the meadows?
>die on neighbouring island>no bronze, not making a new longboat>whatever, I'll just make a raftHalfway between islands, clear skies and daytime, a serpent swims up behind meI turned on passive enemies and I am not sorry.
>>3103368The serpents that spawn due to rain, will not despawn when the rain stops. So because of that, you may find sea serpents at day time mostly because you passed from that spot some time ago during rain time and didn't notice them spawning.
>>3103125lel I always do that after clearing a tomb or crypt to prevent others from wasting their time checking them
>>3103430That has to be what happened. I do keep a look for serpents when I am sailing normally though. Anyway, no map mode is an interesting challenge. I am getting pretty good at navigating by the Yggdrasil branch.
Added a little barn to the boar pen, try to keep at least a pair in there at all times so we have backups in case of a raidThe butcher knife is in the chest above the doors
4 hours cutting trees, my mind is mushy. I'm going to make a coffee before I look for a 1hit tree feller mod.
>>3104869I've never needed to cut that many trees. What are you doing? Try making a greydwarf farm
>>3104883a house with timber, and I'm cutting the new tree with a bronze axe.
>>3104869If anything - i would love to join you in mindless farming.
>logging on to see the latest chudnar progressI ate some lingen berries
>>3105509It's so sad Stivirr Joben died of lingen what are lingen berries?
>>3105531>what are lingen berries?Berries from last biome. Giving 35/35.
>>3105509The server admins don't want you to know this but the lingonberries in the Norf are free. You can take them home. I have 458 lingonberries.
i think i will take a leisurely stroll through the ashlands with hostilities disabled, surely i won't be hit with sky fire and burn to death in the feather cape
>>3105821Whoah. What a great example of a viking! Truly - the embodiment of a strong-willed warrior.
>>3105821But the constant fighting paired with the somber music is the best part
>>3105544>from last biomeHow the fuck did you manage to get there, let alone survive there?
>>3106059Uh, well, if you never been there - it'll kinda ruin all fun, dont you agree? Experience it blindly if you can.
>>3105871>>3106005yeah..
>>3106081I've been there before, just surprised you managed to get there without getting killed by serpents and gjalls on the way, the karve is too slow to outrun everything and you don't have iron yet for a longship right? There's also the cold to worry about
I was just thinking while at work today>each star a creature has is +50% more damage, so up to +100%>hard worldmode setting is 50% more creature damage, multiplicative with the aboveso a one star troll can hit me for up to 157.5 damage, a two star draug can hit me for up to 144 damage, and a two star troll can whap me for 210 damage.
>>3106192>so a one star troll can hit me for up to 157.5 damage157.5+50, since the ground slam has an extra AoE, I think armor works on them both separately though
>>3104204I can't kill these pigs if you keep naming them. They're too funny.
>>3106105have you tried not sailing against the wind
>>3106241Share some with the rest of the class who can't make it to the MP server, if you would pls
>>3106325I can't deny being easily entertained but the fact that one is name Edwina sends my schizo meters off because I swear to Odin I've had random scenes from Chicken Run popping up into my head for the past few days longer than this pig has possibly been alive and named.
>>3106363jej, bless you
why does crossbow hurt trees
no map no portals is kino. think the game should have always been like this.
>>3106574no map, yesno portals, ehhhhhthere's nothing really gained by sailing back and forth and back and forth cuz the ocean has 0 content outside of serpents being a rare spawn and levis being useless after you mine like two of them
I am glad there is no stupid posters hereEvery other thread I frequent has some kind of mental deficient who ruins any discussion
anyone want to do elder?
>sacrificial blood can't be teleported at allI forgive the 300 hours of jank, that was KINO. Rolled credits with 4 friends. Great adventure.
>>3106574most fun to play singleplayer
>>3107271when i landed on my starting island on my last leg of my journey all my gear was at 3-5% durability and i just toggle walked all the way towards the altar. it was kino
we're starting elder in a few minutes
I'm reaching comfy levels that shouldn't be possible.
>>3102962drawing your own map?
Made a little wall mostly to remind myself which path to take so I don't get lost.Ran with flametal from one charred fortress to my main base using moder.3 valkyries on the way home, one I had to fight.
How much stone and wood do you actually need to make a castle?
>>3108521Of course depends on the castle.But i would say at least 200 stacks of stone (i.e. 200x50). And half of that in wood.That's what you should EXPECT.
>>3108536>10k stone That should become a massive castle, right?
>>3108549No, just average one. Some might say "below average" even.
>>3108549lollmao, even
>>3107271>boss fight has all the previous boss themes mixed in>forced to do one last voyage homeSven can be cool occasionally
Is the Elder kill?
>>3109050Ye
>>3106598No portals is additional shelter building and localized restocking. Sailing back and forth isn't even an option because it takes too much time. Without the ability to drop a portal and refresh rested, food stacks, repair, etc. you have to play the game in constant survival mode. Check the sky and see the sun is past mid-day and estimate that you need to hunker down and build up to a higher tier workbench for gear repair or risk a catastrophic death.>>3108035no because I know my drawing isn't up to task, I'll actually confuse myself. I write (type) out landmark based directions as needed.
>>3109085>no because I know my drawing isn't up to task, I'll actually confuse myself. I write (type) out landmark based directions as needed.ahh okay fairI've confused myself sometimes, but I think it helps overall.Like one time I added the same island twice.cardinal directions aren't always constant on my maps, but it's been helpful when following coasts, like sailing along plains to swamp to dark forest and seeing it match up with and island that has "yellow-brown-darkgreen" on my map.
>didn't managed to get a screenshot of the newly furnished hall with the boismaybe next time then. the great hall now has 16 comfort
>>3109085or just take the essentials with you in your longboat and treat it like a mobile home
>>3109407can't fit everything on a longship, you HAVE to do localized sourcing
>>3109507that's why I said the essentials, not everythingalso you technically can, since you can put carts on the deck
>>3109407>>3109507Before the artisan table stuff I did pretty well doing that.Had to compromise a bit iirc, like maybe skipping mushrooms+dandelions with the expectation that I will always find them in the new spot where I set up.
>>3109781oh yeah of course, I mean stuff like the metal and whatnot you need for crafting stations, and everything you need for comfort, plus maybe some building supplies to set up a forward operating base
>>3109808yeah, it's a fun type of struggle imoone thing I remember is that I wanted to keep a stack of wood with me, but it was just too heavy with all of the other stuff, so ended up just doing 10 or 20 in my inventory so I could always put down an emergency bench for repairs, and I couldn't keep it in the boat inventory since I always wanted to be ready to place the bench without interruptionsSerpent meat stacking to 50 is so convenient when you're on no portals too>look up old screenshotsah neat I have some of my ship inventoriesI guess this is before I started killing a lot of sea serpents, and I did sometimes bring a stack of mushrooms, but that's probably because I planned to cook wolf skewers at my next location, thus the 2 stacks of onions and 2 stacks of wolf meat
>>3110337Gorgeous.
I kept building my houses on the east side of my starting island with a big window facing the ocean so that I could catch the sun coming up after I slept, but it's not really working since the sun starts so low in the sky and I don't really get that effect of the sun shining in the blinds that I wantedI think I'm just gonna build on the south side of my island now so that I can see the sun pass over the ocean clearly
oh I'm so fucking lost fuck fuck fuckThere should have been my landmarks, but there's just wilderness with nothing familiar in it! I'm going to turn around and hope to retrace my voyage.Look for where I chopped the Oak, then have to sail blind perpendicular to the coast and hope I don't whiff the draugr village island, then follow my way back from there.
>>3110973reminder to occasionally leave a few wooden 45 posts pointing towards your last base, or some notable landmark such as the world spawn, on the peninsulas of any continents you pass by
>>3110995>>3110973I like using 67' crosses, easy to spot, then like a marker on either side to point towards a direction.
kind of a shame i've had the wolf raid the most while sailing over "plains" patches of sea but you can't trigger it in the woods where it would be the ultimate kino
Didn't like how a 2star blocked my way back last time. There's this bit of lava I had to jump over and I was always worried about getting knocked into lava so I made a bridge.
>>3110337Wait...we need to do something like that, but on Elder spawn. That would be sick. No? I think it can be sick.
>>3110995>>3111009I trusted my instincts to find the draugr village and just picked a direction. And I sailed right into the path I made leading up to the swamp-adjacent settlement. Don't know how any of that worked. It was confusing AF. None of that shouldn't have happened.
>>3111027Nice to see your run still going. I remember you were stockpiling on poison meads, have they come to use? I've seen valkyries be a lot more dangerous due to their melee attacks than the poison DoT, and I never had to use them in Ashlands.Meanwhile, I made a new fren.
We're rich lads
>>3112201>I remember you were stockpiling on poison meads, have they come to use?Not really, I chug them sometimes when I see valks, but I rarely get hit by the spit attack anyway.The spit attack that deals fire and poison can be scary if it stacks, but only the fire damage dot stacks, not the poison so even then poison resistance isn't important.I think on a harder combat difficulty I'll still make them and bring them to ashlands though.I brought a stupid amount of neck tails, but my main mission was finding Haldor back then anyway and there wasn't anything else really important I needed to bring so it wasn't much of a waste. fire resistance, lightfood mead and lingering stamina all feel more important to me.At this area I'm like 3-5 minutes away from the coast when running with moder or riding.5 minutes from the coast with good wind and I get to my plains base where I brew potions.Problem is that I don't even have access to thistle there so I can't brew that many poison resistance potions anyway, I'd have to take another 5+ minute trip west to a previous plains base next to a black forest and farm them, so when these poison resistance meads run out I'm just gonna live without them.>Meanwhile, I made a new fren.looking forward to them, I already have 25+ riding skillI think I'll reach deep north unless I fuck up against Fader.
>>3112739>I think on a harder combat difficultyOn hard at least, the poison was never a problem. Mostly because you are already protected by the shield, and mostly because everything else hurts 50% more, so you are already cautious enough to dodge the poisonous fireballs. I still chugged fire meads at first, but later I killed them faster and wasn't needed. >fire resistance, lightfood mead and lingering stamina all feel more important to me.Agree on the lingering stamina, fire resist mead I only used it mostly against the boss, and personally I prefer ratatosk way more than the lightfoot, ideally both especially during boss fights, but I see more benefit from movement speed than the jump cost. >looking forward to them, I already have 25+ riding skillThat 2 star alone killed me 3 times till I managed to put him in the pit. I think he did 300ish damage with one attack with me wearing 150 armor. Also I figured out that the 2 starred moose are significantly taller, to the point that they couldn't breed in the same stable I had for my first 0 star and 1 star mooses. I ended up having to break the roof for them to start reproducing. Got the first piece of my armor as well from the first Mork dungeon, started retiring the flametal at last. The heavy armor having no movement speed penalty is so much nicer to play with.
I won't be able to play this week until Saturday, please feel free to progress to bonemass or suggest a day to take him down.I've got a few back ups too, so all is good
Question about deep north. Is it a safer approach to clear a morkhalla dungeon but not break the malicious ice at the bottom, so I can farm krigens on a safer, slower tempo?
>>3114851krigens don't respawn inside the dungeon even if you don't destroy the crystal at the bottom i think
>>3114880In the first one I explored, the rooms above the bottom floor, all had overflowing krigens, which explains their spawn rate at the bottom. Also the wiki says the same.
feels like we'll have to start building walls around the sttlement once we start to progress beyond moder>>3114885huh, i see. guess you can just put up a portal from a safe distance and farm them from time to time.
Hear me up... New Game+ adds 1* bosses and increase the cap of stars.
Why does these walls have these obnoxious X and the triangular walls not? I hope whoever designed this bumps his little finger in the corner of the bed and steps on a lego piece.
>>3115328the game isn't balanced to scale like that. harder difficulties already make the damage output bullshit (which is +50% or +100% damage, much like everything having a star already), because armor and viking hp remains flat.
>>3115497I hate it so much manKeep everything consistent or fuck off. It's especially bad with the 1x1 walls because they only have one diagonal beam on the back which makes a row of half walls look fine on one end, but fucked on the other
I hate this boss location.
>>3116405Well, there are at least two others if you're willing to track them down
>>3115089Turns out the wiki was lying, nothing spawns after I cleared the dungeon. Kinda sad, since I have full sets for the caller and vanguard, but only 1 protector piece dropped so far.
Well, if the game doesn't want to give me the protector's helmet, I'll fully embrace the battlemage build.
Is the server kill? I can't stay connected for more than a few seconds before the broken connection icon starts flashing in the corner. Was working fine just a bit earlier.
Speaking of the build, seems that you can proc Northern Vengeance with your own self-damaging spells like the blood shield, but the projectiles fly in random directions. Think I'll push the skelly raiser to lvl 6, and then when I find the deep north summon spell, I'll create a clusterfuck in every jotun invasion.
>>3117491Northern vengeance seems fun, friend of mine cast it on me and one of those ghosts nearly oneshot itself when trying to shoot me with a dundr
>>3117510So from what I can tell, at lvl 2, each NV proc, deals 138 damage, so with 4 skellies, that goes to 552, with stagger, that can go even higher. Add 4-8 animals with that as well, and we are talking about 1k-1.5k potential damage nukes. I'm not sure if the damage scales with blood magic level, the wiki says it does a fixed number of damage, but that 138 per proc doesn't agree with what's posted there. Anyways, will test it a bit more, maybe I'll do that blood magic XP farm and see if it has significant improvements. Btw, 10 memorial summons gave 8 blue gems and only 2 reds, kinda sad since all the good upgrades and spells need the red ones.
>>3117553The blue flames look cooler than the edgy lightning though so those weapons are better :^)
>>3117558I won't make a set of weapons that the biome's boss is resistant to (^:
>>3117585But he's resistant to lightning too? Not like it matters much, just hit him a few more times lmao.Assuming lvl 3 weapons, because lol fuck you no lvl 7 forge, the stats of nord swords are as follows;Regular nord sword - 190 slash and nothing else.Thunderblood sword - 200 slash, 55 lightning. 255 in total. With his lightning resist that goes down to 227.5 total damage.Frostfire sword - 158 slash, 18 fire, 94 frost. 270 in total. With his fire and frost resist that goes down to 214 total damage.That's a difference of like 6%, it doesn't matter. Just use whatever looks coolest to you. For me that would be blue fire but you do you.
>>3117636That's true, but you forgot both of the thunderblood's passives. At 300 HP, casting blood bubbles, northern vengeance, summoning skellies or animals, that means the HP will fluctuate around 100-200. That means the sword will be getting around 20%-40% extra damage. Now, I can't say for certain whether that damage boost affects only the physical portion of the damage, or if it also boosts the lightning portion and/or the chain lightning. Let's say it doesn't. That means on average, the thunderblood will do:200 slash -> 240 - 280 slash55 lightning -> 27.5 lightning after resists25% chance for chain lightning, so I will assume it will proc once every 4 hits -> 9.3 lightning after chance and resistIn total: 276.8 - 316.8Now add to that the fact that Krigen, Hexen, and basically almost all of the hard Deep North mobs are resistant to frost... Sorry, edgelord's red wins.
>>3117696I did, in fact, forget about the passive. I consneed.
>>3117702No worries, we are all trying to figure out the game's decisions. Which makes it even more confusing to find out why the frostfire was added in a biome where it's so much weaker to the alternative. It would make sense if there was a next biome afterwards but nope.
>>3117761I used a frostfire greatsword for the ashlands and was surprised to see that the only enemies there actually weak to frost were the fucking vultures, who die instantly anyway, the blobs, who kill themselves, and the serpents who are weak to it because they're in the water. At least nothing resists it except warlocks.
>>3117797Smol indie Swede dev team, they had to somehow push people away from Frostner, please understando.
Will it go on sale anytime soon?
how many bosses are down on the server? Am I too late to join in?
>>3118408only 2 so far, we've yet to take down bonemass. there's an inn if you need a place to crash, the big fucking building by the coast you can see from the forges
the nomapnoportalsuperhardcore reaches more milestones. root harnesk, huntsman bow, turnips growing. the swamp is becoming more accessible, and a trip to the mountains for obsidian has already occurred only to be foiled by forgetting I need an Iron pickaxe for that.
>>3118584>and a trip to the mountains for obsidian has already occurred only to be foiled by forgetting I need an Iron pickaxe for that.if you need just a bit for the crafting upgrade you can find some in chests
They need to add a stone golem raid
>>3118655yeah I've spotted a tower up there that might have that and onion seeds too but it's too risky. any amount of journeying can snag a drake and they're very noisy and distracting and gets me stumbling into wolves and then it's all over. Wolves are astoundingly lethal threats since they're so aggressive, using three hit combos of 105 damage hits, and are some of the fastest enemies in the game and will chase for basically forever. I'll just come back with the Iron pickaxe and sneak barely into the biome, well short of any wolf spawn locations, and get my obsidian for the crafting upgrade. I can hunt Serpents and come back to the mountains with Sausages, Serpent Stew, and Serpent meat with a fully upgraded root shield. That way I can just hold block and cut them down with little chance of the situation spiraling out of control.
>>3118730yeah fair, probably better to not rush it
>parry valk>jump towards it to attack>jump too high and glide on top of it as it starts a spin attack that does a lot of knockback if it hits>lava on the other side of itjesus that was close, but it didn't hit me
Is a stakewall strong enough for protection?I know a raised earth wall is the best but it's kinda ugly. It's either the stakewall or a stone wall.
>>3119212It's better than no wall, but it's pretty lackluster against just skelies and greyldwarves, let alone anything stronger than that
>>3119212stone wall is better, wood wall won't stop a surtling raid when they happen
>>3119212the best early game wall is an abyssal razor in your handthis post brought to you by Chitin Patriots™
>>3119212up until you get to post-bonemass. at that point you should probably upgrade to a stone wall. you should be running away from your base during raids anyway, counter-intuitively, because mobs will always find a way to path around whatever defenses you have unless you fully enclose your base, but they end up doing so much dmg past a certain point (trolls in particular being the first notable case) that whatever walls you build won't be enough anymore
>>3119212If you just want protection, dig a moat/trench. It's really easy to do. You're just digging a rectangular channel to box in your base. There's no wall in the way with no visuals to bother you but creatures can't path over it, nor can they smash it. If you dig it far enough out, even most dangerous projectiles won't reach your structures. It's also trivial for you to leap across to get in and out, and if you want cart access, just build a horizontal ladder with 1m horizontal pieces to measure out the rungs, since creatures can't figure out how to walk a horizontal ladder like that either
>>3119580moats don't really work if you build on the coast, which many people do
WE'RE RICH! AGAIN.
>>3119611I'd be more inclined to spend time in the ashlands if the slimes didn't deform the terrain and fuck with my OCD, and if grausten and ashwood were renewable. Twitchers could reasonably drop it since they're the ones always throwing rocks>but you get so much just by existingYes, but I don't want to be an ecological menace and ruin the landscape
>>3119648>Twitchers could reasonably drop it since they're the ones always throwing rocksI don't think it is needed, but I think that would be fine, kinda in line with greydwarves dropping stone.Them or having the lava blobs dropping grausten could make sense.>Yes, but I don't want to be an ecological menace and ruin the landscapeI feel that autism sometimesimo you should be able to plant beech and oak in ashlands, but they'll turn into those ashwood trees, the big or thin ones respectively
>>3119596Need help? I dont mind logging in and helping with getting more / transporting.
>>3119589don't build on the coast. you don't want to be close enough to your boat that it can exist to take damage anyway. best practice
>>3119710>imo you should be able to plant beech and oak in ashlands, but they'll turn into those ashwood trees, the big or thin ones respectivelysee, this would be great
>>3119733>don't render your boatnot really an issue since you should always be deconstructing your boat so you can take it w/ you thru portalsbuilding out of render distance of it is kind of a weird thing to do desu
>>3119787Or make that ember-farm-beacon to interact with nearby trees somehow, making them ashtrees no matter where its placed.
Also - feel free to destroy my TPs in the area (temp tp-s), if they inconvenience you.

Figured maybe my mods caused me to get kicked but even on vanilla I still disconnect from the server almost immediatelyIt's joever
>>3118584My seemingly very bountiful swamp has turned out to be very small.It's time for me to load up the now-craftable Longship and make tracks. I need to devise a more thorough and consistent waymarker/mapping system though.
>>3120384>I need to devise a more thorough and consistent waymarker/mapping system though.You're the -no map- anon? I'd recommend putting a few wooden Xs on the shore of a cleared biome
>>3120403I do that but it's not enough to keep me oriented. If I go big sailing I don't want to be lost trying to find my way all the way back to start with Moder's head
>>3120418Sounds like it's time to start building a bunch of huge lighthouses
>>3120439If only that actually worked, I'd be down for that. Unfortunately the height of the structure doesn't change the distance the structure loads. But you *do* inspire an idea
>>3120418see >>3110995if you're trying to find cardinal directions, the world tree in the sky is always due east, and you can make a rudimentary sundial in a clearing to try and get a more exact rotation to base your hammer off of
I wish there was some mod like distant horizons in minecraft that would generate some lods of the structures so you can see them from far away.
>>3120492I wish they would completely rework aggro system, to prevent monsters from randomly attacking your structures. Like, for example, give us an item (structure), that wards away monsters, like fire does with graydwarfs. Make it, lets say, mountain-tier, for example made out of silver, obsidian and some trophy. And i know - you'll say "workbench does that!!!!", but no. It does not. I so fucking hate that i have to sacrifice aesthetics of my builds/ideas, just to not it be destroyed by some random bullshit while im not looking. And yes, fuck raids too. I cant see how you can make Raids be fun. Even with reworking. IM IN MY HOUSE. ITS MY SAFESPACE. LET ME BE FUCKING AFK WITHOUT PUNISHING ME FOR IT. WHY THE FUCK MY BASE IN MEADOWS IS HARASSED BY FUCKING SEEKERS?? HELLO?!?!
>>3120531And yes, before someone will fart out one very stupid take - no, creepers in minecraft is a totally different thing. They're reactive to player's actions. Monserts in valheim are just trying to provoke you into fighting them.
>>3120531>>3120536just bury enough campfires and you'll completely secure your base, even from raids.
>>3120447Yeah it's a shame, some stuff like bonfires/campires render in earlier though.I made a lighthouse and the bonfire helps me locate my base even though the height is irrelevant.Long time ago I was lost in a storm and saw a glimmer of my old campfire that I could focus on, it went a few seconds after it rendered in.
>>3120545That's bullshit. Like covering your entire base with halfslabs in minecraft.
>>3120561>halfslabsDo people really? Back in my day we just spammed torches everywhere
>>3120549my biggest concern with campfires is that fully stocked they last only 11 hours or something like that. Bonfires too. I think most of the stuff that uses bronze or better to construct can last up to 33 hours, but the cost adds up. I think the Hearth lasts 33 hours, and it's fueled by only wood, but it needs stone support. I've tested out a couple items that you can attach to an item stand for a glow, but they actually stop rendering way before structures, let alone campfires.
>>3120561ok or w/e but it does what he wants. its pretty simple too, spam workbenches using the visible construction radius and placing a new one on the edge so each one 20m of each other until you cover a large enough area (probably like 100m out in any direction is more than enough), then go back and dig a small hole where each bench is and place a campfire then fill it over. it prevents all creature spawns *including* those from raids, so when you're done you can just afk in your base all year long and never see a thing.
>>3120531you can turn raids off...
>>3119973Ok so after trying a different character it turns out the issue only happens when I'm in a certain part of the deep north?? Seems to be working fine again after I teleported home, saved my location and then logged back in again
>>3119728more wood would be nice. I don't think the cart full of wood that we have will be enough to process all of it
>>3120906I have a counteridea. We can venture into the swamp, and look for a nice place with coalspawners. That way we'll get more iron, more coal, more other useful stuff.

And this is the right amount for a stack of 10 for stamina food and a stack of 10 of a health food throughout early and mid-game. (40 carrots = 10 carrot soup and 10 deer stew; 40 turnips = 10 turnip stew and 10 black soup; 40 onions = 10 onion soup and 10 wolf skewers.)

>>3128002fair, though the iron axes should cover your blocking needs, and the antler pickaxe can be repaired at any workbench on the go, whereas the bronze one requires a forge. hindsight, but the bronze spent there could've been used on a buckler, or you could've used the iron spent on one of the axes on an iron buckler or round shield.sorry, im nitpicking

A tiberwood gives me now 11 timber and 11 wood, no seed, I should test with more trees, or plant new ones.
>>3128447Ngl, considering how many seeds we have on the server - that's a good deal.If you're from the server - plant them in the mine and i'll collect later today.
I started sprucing up the current farm plots in the village a bit by leveling out their terrain, giving them proper gates and a storage chest by each plot. I also stole a bunch of onions from established patches and chests so if anyone is wondering where those went that's where. I need muh soup.
>>3128948In case you didn't see it, I have a decently sized field full of onions up by my new chudhaus, near the enterance. Decent yield if you need more. Should be a couple hundred onions in my basement too.

MORE IRON!forgot to mention, south of the island i think the swamp's haunted because it kept spawning rancid remains, and the swamp where i raided crypts on has a bonemass altar which is a lot nearer compared to the one we had set up north
No one warned me that the final boss has a Palpatine attack.
You mean 8deer attack?

>>3131315Post close-ups of the houses
Chopped and relocated about 1300 wood.Smelted about 130 iron.Also i have an idea. How about we'll make a wall for other players to leave their requests/notes/ideas with signs, sort of like Quest Board in RPGs. Lets say someone have a build idea - and they'll need ~2k stone for it - instead of going to mine it themselves, or make a post about it in the thread, or waiting for someone to log it - they can just leave a note about it, and get some help with it "offline". Or it'll be a good way to cooperate sailing, for example, for silver. I think it can be a fun build idea. Whatcha think?
>>3133403Like some kind of... message... board? Hmm... seems familiar...
>>3133450Yes. The board for leaving text-messages. But since it'll be on visible signs - we can call it "imageboard" for short.

if someone wants to update everyone's maps by depositing their info at the cartography table, does it have to be the same cartography table, or can I bring one with me while exploring and dump my info it every so often to magically update it via bluetooth, so that the next person who touches the cartography table at home base can see where I've explored?

What's the best non-cheat mod for clean terraforming? Trying to make elevated areas, smooth earth ramps, etc, is torture in vanilla.
>>3142708the torture makes it worth it
>>3142708>non-cheat modNo such thing. Either deal with the horrendous vanilla process or just get MyDirtyHoe and try to show some restraint. It can make ramps, make paths connecting points you set, completely flatten ground, etc. Just don't set the radius to something completely retarded and you should be fine.
>>3142708You're a viking and have to choose a better location if you want a big flat space

we have silver. don't be afraid to use it all because there's still a chest full waiting to be picked up.
>>3144059Short answer: you'll be fine, just don't fuck around. Longer answer: Plains is actually lower intensity than the mountains, despite being the biome after, because audio queues and openness keeps you from getting ambushed and put in a bad spot. As soon as you get to the tier of fumbling a deathsquito sting and surviving (90 pierce on normal, so the 42-60 ac of iron armor does plenty of work), plains becomes reasonably traversable. Nothing else is fast enough/smart enough to run you down other than a deathsquito, so just don't go doing anything stupid, and you'll be fine.
>>3144059desu, unless you're going to upgrade the set, I wouldn't bother going with irona level 1 iron armor set is 42 armora level 4 troll hide set is 40 armor, and it's much easier to upgradeeven a mix of slightly upgraded root armor and troll armor (even ignoring the root chest) is going to get you on-par to better performance than iron armor
>>3145932It's fully upgraded, anyways I didn't have time to log in today.
>>3145984Fully upgraded iron will do you just fine in the plains then. Idk if you're planning on upgrading your armor in the near future, but Padded takes a lot of iron to upgrade as well, so I might consider using either upgraded Silver armor, or Odin forbid, Lox armor. I think Carapace might also take iron, it's been a while since I've played Mistlands content
Wolves are my biggest nemesis
>>3075673misc infohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aN8WF1TS1Vs>>3146234they can't turn very well, so circlestrafing them with occasional bursts of sprint will be better than trying to dodge or outrun them
I'm at day 120 on my 1.0 return run and have yet to see a single surtling spawner in any of the 5 Swamps I've visited. Granted, I've been screwing around for many of those days but at this rate I could reasonably go the entire playthrough without ever seeing one and were I a new player I wouldn't even know they exist, which I think is quite funny.Managed to find Bonemass, Moder and Yagluth's waystones in the first buildings I explored in each biome so I won't complain, that kind of RNG is unheard of for me.
>>3146380I'm up to the mistlands and I haven't even seen a single sea serpent so far despite running into them constantly way back when valheim only went up to the plains.
>>3146380I assume your render distance is set to high, at the very least? That's a somewhat bizarre thing to not have any surtling spawners, but I guess it's not uncommon. There's always the map viewer.
>>3146410I had similar poor luck with Serpents my last time around too. Luckily Serpent Stew isn't the be all end all food>>3146416I always set it to ultra when sailing, just plain ol bad luck in that regard. I've just been sailing N/NE/NW really, so maybe the south will provide.

Moder this saturday. does 1PM EST (afternoon) sound good for everyone? holdfastt didn't managed to catch the bonemass fight so i was thinking of making it later because the last one felt too early
>>3147145i might get eaten alive for it, but i think its too soon
>>3147145Sounds good to me>>3147154How so? We haven't really progressed any by killing Bonemass
>>3147145I missed it because I overslept, though I appreciate changing the time around. My work schedule is changing to my standard hours this Thursday though, 5AM EST to 3PM EST and it's Thursday to Sunday. I don't know how much more I'll be playing or really when at the moment, so if it's easier for everyone to keep the previous timetable just stick with that.
>>3147154as in we're going too fast or is the schedule a bit late? if gear is a problem we have a hilarious amount of silver to work with >>3144988 and i don't mind mining more. it was a fun adventure hauling those back to the base.though it's pacing, we can slow down once we reach the plains so we can update our buildings to tar roofs and other things
>>3145932>desu, unless you're going to upgrade the set, I wouldn't bother going with iron>a level 1 iron armor set is 42 armor>a level 4 troll hide set is 40 armor, and it's much easier to upgradebruh iron armor needs some kind of gimmick or bonus to make it worth crafting, that's ass especially considering how expensive it is to make and upgrade
>>3147265They'd have to give it slash resistance or something to make it worth crafting. As is, iron armor is a noob trap and a massive waste of metal.
>>3147265>bruh iron armor needs some kind of gimmick or bonus to make it worth craftingI have 2k hours in the game and I've never made a single piece of bronze or iron armor, it never feels worth it to me.Like if I'll play permadeath very hard sure I'll probably make the bronze and iron helmets, but even that's a stretch.imo, the way I'd change them, is give a 2 piece set bonus, just for legs+chest, so you can switch out the hat and keep the bonus.25% blunt resistance for having bronze legs+chest maybe it would make more sense to include the helmet though25% slash resistance for having iron legs+chestdon't wanna go too crazy and make another piece like the root harnesk, but I feel like this would make it feel less of a waste to make, since for bronze you'd be better protected against trolls, elder, aboms, and iron would get a boost against wolves.-% block stamina usage is another thing that could work I think, without making it feel like nonsense.
>>3147286>maybe it would make more sense to include the helmet thoughI'd leave helms as-is, they're already optimal to make since they have the same armor values as chest and leg armor, but they don't negatively impact your movement speed at all
I'm having fps drops in the villa, is it due to the portals?
>>3148372>is it due to the portals?if that is the case, y'all could have a portal hub in a different location, and then a main portal in the villa to that hub.
would it be worth it skimming the edge of the boiling sea with a longship to go bonemaw hunting for the meat? supposedly they're more common than regular sea serpents, and their cooked meat is better than serpent stew (though 10x heavier)
>>3151795It's only 90 health and a pain in the ass to do without the drakkar. You're better off going north to tame some moose, then farm those. Their cooked meat is 80 health, so same as serpent stew but much easier to get
>>3151795>(though 10x heavier)still great to food to just keep in the boats storage
god Fader can be so frustratingI wanna do the alternate 2h sword attack, but I move forward so much with it that I can get stuck underneath his head that way, and if the angle of the terrain isn't right it's so easy to whiff the attack
dumbest thing I've done this playthroughgot too impatient and thought I could get in and get one attack on his leg, one tick away from dying, decided to stick to flametal armor after this over root harnesk too, since stacking fire damage is the most likely thing to kill me
Jump attacks worked better.Had shelters in a charred fortress to the east and one to the northwest I think.Frustrating thing was coming back after sleeping and seeing him recover so much health, and then running for 10 minutes before I could get an attack in because of his homing attack spam.
Why the fuck do certain weapon types not deal less damage if hitting multiple targets/obstacles, and why are one handed swords among them but not one handed blunt? Pussy shit.
That's a lot of tendies
>>3154187because the idea is that those weapons would either cleave through multiple opponents, or the force of the impact would create an AoEyou can't cleave through things with a hammer
>>3153752fire resistance wine negates the weakness from the root harnesk.I was going to recommend jump attack until i saw your next post.by the time I get to fader on my hardcore run, I'm not going to play fair.
>>3154691you can't cleave through things with a 1 handed sword unless you bisected them either, and yet here we go again with more sword wank.
>>3154691>>3154826valheim combat is not realistic, chill.it's made for game design reasons.attacking costs way more stamina than blocking, even though holding back any of these creatures with a shield should be way more taxing than any quick flourish with a sword. -for game design reasons.fast attack speed weapons are OP, long reach is generally not that importantso medium to slow speed weapons can offer more stagger, or target a type weaknessthe axe is multi-purpose tool and weapon, so it's slightly nerfed behind the sword by lacking multi-targetand so onwhat's the worst weapon or weapon type in the game? I can't even name it, I don't know. They did good. It was a good idea to remove the swords multi-target penalty. Because it also impacts using the sword on hillsides and in narrow spaces. It's even slightly befitting what a sword was to a viking. Vikings mostly used spears, but they totally had swords too. Why did they have swords? If you look at their historical swords, they were essentially optimized peasant-choppers. Super easy to use slice and dicers on things that were expected to have no armor and little chance of fighting back.
>>3154869I'm angry! Angry about losing 70% of my damage in a dungeon because the mace hits every wall! RAAAAAGHHHH
>>3154869>valheim combat is not realistic, chill.Its not realistic. But its logical.Saying "its a videogame - why you care so much?" is much more pathetic than changing gamemod to peaceful for the corpserun.
>>3154741>fire resistance wine negates the weakness from the root harnesk.I should've been more clear, the stacking DoT is the most likely thing to kill me, but not because it targets a fire weakness, so switched to flametal for the higher armor value to take less fire damage.I think there's still a place for Root Harnesk against Fader, but not the way I was playing, since I was mostly dodging the pierce attacks anyways, and I could take tank a bunch of those.Thought the asksvin cloak might've been nice since it helped me get in and out with more stamina left to attack, but ended up sticking to ashen cape for safety.>by the time I get to fader on my hardcore run, I'm not going to play fair.Best of luckAs a back up I had tamed asksvins I could flee to, but they all died due to his homing aoe attacks before I could even choose to include them in the fight, so if you're gonna use asksvin I think they need to be on top of him at the start.
Hatching 100 of these at once might not have been the best ideaAlso I brought home a 2 star boar so the flock has been upgraded

are battleaxes still terrible for chopping? i love the 2 handers but they just suck so much in the vanilla game without epic loot
Shame I didn't record earlier, I was in a deep north village and as soon as I stepped into a house it exploded.I thought it was booby trapped, a few seconds later I saw logs coming out of the blizzard towards me and I realized what happened
Why do awful devs keep putting stamina in games? I hate stamina, "oh did you run for a few seconds, ok then you aren't allowed to play the game while you wait for your stamina to recharge". Let me attack, let me play the fucking game.Fucking cringe
I like the stamina system, mainly because it filters out adhd zoomers
Good games at least lower the stamina cost to sprint while out of combat. Valheim doesn't because it needs to pad an extra secret 3 hours onto your playtime. Because padding an extra 10 hours on sailing open waters with nothing in them wasn't enough. Neither was padding another 4 hours on chopping hundreds of trees where the only "danger" is a greyling or a tree bonking your head for 20 damage.You don't understand, we simply NEED you to sail to both ends of the world.
>>3157753arm stamina and leg stamina as separate bars solves this entirely but few games will implement it
>>3157779the journey is fun, not the destination. if you don't like the survival pressure of journeys taking time and resources of valheim, go play enshrouded.
>>3157817>survival pressure of journeys taking time and resourcesWhat resources do you expend sailing other than IRL sanity and age, perchance?
patiently awaiting the addition of a werewolf mode
I think the fundamental issue with sailing is that it already asks players for so much of their time that adding any more to the oceans is tricky because any additional obstacles that must be engaged with will then require players to spend even more time sailing by interrupting them and probably end up frustrating them. I can understand why they struggled and then ultimately failed to add anything more to the oceans. The wind and the serpents (before you have the tools to deal with them) can be frustrating enough at times.
>>3157994It doesn't have to be hindrances. There could be narrow tailwinds that you could follow, there could be special waves that you could ride, there could be crates you can smash into for coins and loot, anything to make sailing less of a face-direction-and-afk.The insane thing is that they did nothing with sailing but then added two separate ends of the earth you must sail to, then followed that up with a jotun invasion that makes you sail to 3 random locations. Why couldn't the jotuns have just appeared in the snow lands? Or be summonable at any boss altar? I don't get why unless they're literally trying to waste more time.
how do you kill the jotuns in a nomap run?
I put a boar in my karve for transport and it turned my karve into a motorboat as long as I was pointed in any direction except one specific direction (I think because it would rotate the boat relative to the boar). I was afraid of rocking the boar out of the karve so I was trying to take it slow and steady and I did a 5 minute journey with full sail to get there in the reverse direction in the same time without even using rudder power. I was just steering.I've been interacting with animals a bunch trying to make pens and a boar breeder and I believe they pick a random xy location nearby to path to, and if they get blocked but still believe they can pathfind to the location, they just keep pushing in a loop, never stopping or adjusting. This locks them up from doing things like eating nearby food, and is typically annoying. But this same behavior caused the boar to cram itself against my thigh on the stern of the karve and push against the karve somehow for a multi-island journey.
>>3158177Devs thought about it. So, if you're so curious - just do nomap run and see for yourself!>>3157902What's wrong with just fucking dogs the usual way?>>3157753Its a punishment for panic if a fight. Without stamina you can roll around aimlessly, swing nonstop, always have option to run away and...why im even explaining this to you? Its pointless.
>>3158222>Its a punishmentyou can't even hide why it's bad. you literally said it. it's literally designed as anti-fun.
>>3157994I've really come to enjoy the sailing. no map no portals. it's a different kind of harrowing experience than other parts of the game, and a really critical component of getting new resources too
>>3158229Losing health is fun too? No. Its a punishment.What about losing your items after death?Durability?Weight of items?Having to craft consumables? What about teleportation limit?Or stagger bar.I told already - its pointless to talk with you. You have understanding of a topic akin to a 0yo child.
>>3158237I too enjoy intently watching paint dry
>>3158240>bad things are actually... le good!
>>3158244You're one of those people who buy a burger and throw away buns, because buns are not tasty. As i said, -5yo kid.
Kilns and smelters shouldn't have been an automated process. You should be forced to wait for the crafting bar just like everything else.
nearly lost my run because I got hit one time by a 2 star fulling. they usually fight like boars, go for an aggro, then run a long circle before winding up again. this guy rolled from an attack to another attack, so I rolled in for hits expecting the usual and took a blow. Recoiled out with just 2 hp, and I was using my good food, which isn't lower than 175 at the refresh point on the food. logged out and washed my pants after that.>>3142184I should have build the barn with a stone wall base, then the same build. it would have only been marginally more expensive to construct, it's not actually that much stone. Slightly larger sq. meter and then using inverted stairs as bumpers on the inside walls to keep the the lox from poking through. every 8 days or so I have to do some repairs and it's more luck and spawn prevention that keeps stuff away from the barn so the lox don't aggro (because they poke their heads through). but I haven't had any real issues.
>>3158257They could easily make it into its own minigame. With melting it first, and then pouring molten metal into a form (or many forms).And give a "melting" skill too. Because why the fuck not? How's it much different from mining and chopping? Those are not entirely useful either.
>a little less than one minute after you go exploring for frost caves
Skills only exist to cause a sense of loss when you inevitably die to a one shot. Why else would shit like the cooking skill exist, why else would exp come so slowly and not scale?
>>3158284the skills have been hugely helpful for me in my effort to not die. even the cooking skill. having more minutes of good food at the cost of fewer chances of death. I just hit 70 run skill, and the organic stamina savings has been the difference of life and death when I have just enough stamina to climb a rock for safety
>>3155871Wow, that's a nice mod. I did notice that my gpu ramps up to 100% use and REALLY heats up when snowstorms are occurring, wonder if it's trying to occupy the entire modded draw distance (or more of it, anyway) with snow particles
>>3158291I've also got skills in the 70s, but I think we're in the 1% of the playerbase that don't constantly die. I swear everyone I've seen play this game doesn't break 50, and if they do they always lose it all once they enter the Ashlands.Even so, the exp system is still ass. There's no difference exp wise between blocking Twiggy and blocking a 2 star troll. And the lack of a safety net for death spiraling just makes it a suffer mechanic for most players.Also my cooking skills is only at 10 and I'm at the mistlands. This shit may as well not exist.
>>3155871God damn. This is so fucking cool. Our portal hub was built on the tallest mountain I've ever seen not far from world center. Our big end-game Castletown base was built near the range away from world center where Mistlands starts spawning. On clear days from within my lordly chamber I occasionally get a glimpse of the mountain with the portal hub placed on top now.
>>3158656But as quick as you can see it, it's gone behind a cloud again. It reminds me of Mount Fuji in Japan in that regard.
>>3158656>>3158657Beutiful...
Castletown is finally done also. Well besides whatever deep north stuff I'll need to stick in the basement of the keep. I hear its a type of kiln and a new forge or something. I should hopefully be able to fit it in there. We are still gridlocked waiting to kill Fader but even on days where I sign in just to do some busywork or help my trophy-hunting friend on his trophy hunt it's so nice to have a home base like this. Highly recommend doing it if you have a month's worth of evenings to spare.
I might do a video tour or something when our playthrough is over if people care to see it.
The Mistlands are so much nicer in coop. Finding anything there on your own without cheating is such a pain in the ass.
>>3158284I used Axes in my last run on Hard. I died, I died a lot of times. The highest I saw my axe skill go was about 55. Then after the Queen fight where I died 7 times it dropped close to 40, and the Ashlands isn't a place where people stop dying in general. When I killed Fader, axes were still around lvl 40. I swapped to one handed sword for the last biome, at the end of the run swords were around 40ish and the axe skill was below 20, as if I never spend 250 hours playing with axes in this playthrough at all. The current way that skills are implemented with no checkpoint levels to prevent pushing them down to oblivion is a bad mechanic, and the thing that hurts the most isn't that I lose combat skills when I die. It's when I lose cooking, farming and riding skills when I'm dying to combat.
>>3158284>Why else would shit like the cooking skill exisPeople kept asking for it and complained that it didn't exist
>>3156449>>3156344>>3155871Renderlimits mod has a config that you could easily adjust for different things.Like trees, vs structures.
>>3158733>The current way that skills are implemented with no checkpoint levels to prevent pushing them down to oblivion is a bad mechanicThere's a mod called something like Fortify Skills that does just that.I'm planning on using it for a heavily modded ballbusting difficulty playthrough once I'm done with my current one. If only because I know my potato is going to chug with all those mods and I'm gonna need something to soothe my seethe when I die to frame spikes.
>>3157557the black metal one and the skull splittur make it somewhat more worth italso you can do some funky animation canceling with them where you swing and then use an emote bind (dance) to cancel the recovery so you can immediately swing againyou're probably still better off going from a bronze axe to a black metal one to the berserker axes
>>3157847finewood, resin, deer hide, bronze, at the very leastrested buff, food meterarrows if you run into a serpent
>>3158299Should probably turn down the range a bit, at least on the trees. Mine is in the 70-80% usage range and says below 60°C
>>3158318>the lack of a safety net for death spiraling just makes it a suffer mechanic for most playersthe 'no skill drain' buff you get after dying?
>>3158838I was more talking about frequent deaths spaced 10 minutes apart such that you're constantly hemmoraging levels. More of a slower spiral. A common pattern I've seen is>player goes to new biome>dies>retrieves their shit, maybe collects a few resources, then loiters in their base for ten minutes>goes back to new biome>dies again>repeat such that they're consistently draining levels>by the time they've stabilized it's about time to face the boss and go to a new biome for the spiral to begin a new

It just doesn't make sense from a global allocation perspective for the dvergr to be in possession of so many extractors that they probably only use 5% of the time.
>>3158940Well unfortunately, that sounds like a case of not learning the right lesson(s) the first couple of times.Though, I do recommend everyone plays with the death penalty dropped down to only be 1% of levels lost.
>>3158963Seems to me they're a dying race with a manpower shortage
>>3158983ofc they're dying. You saw how they behave in ashlands?
>>3158983>>3158994Why don't their Gods just make them immortal, are they stupid?
>>3158836It's surprisingly not a problem, just specifically during blizzards and I'm past the mountain now. I'll keep it in mind though if it happens again
>>3158733Just stop dying. Skill drain is the punishment. Don't complain about the punishment, git gud. I'm at 83 knife skill
>>3159648The punishment is gay. You should be allowed to be silly every now and then without major consequence. Even the fucking cinematics suggest taking risks and being a manly viking, but in practice you're expected to play like a total bitch.
I've a mod that gives me x10 XP buff until I recover the xp I lost in the last death.
I've been made aware of some Swedish brilliance today. Truly these people's talents for game design are unmatched.There is a hidden trophy I've learned about in the game. The frost blob trophy. Frost blobs do not spawn naturally, they can only be spawned by crafting one of the Bog Witches blob bomb recipes. It takes a DRAKE TROPHY to craft a single Frost Blob Bomb and the trophy only has a 10% chance to drop from the blob that spawns. So in order to get the trophy you need to farm drakes for their trophies at 10% drop rate and then spawnkill your frost blobs to roll another 10% chance for what essentially looks liked an inflated plastic bag.But then think about it, if you aren't trophy farming, these things cost the money to buy the vials from the bog witch, the time it takes to farm drakes, the drake trophies themselves and you get a shitty little summon that is hostile to you as well as other enemies. Why would any player ever use this item at such a high cost for such little gain? What the fuck were they thinking? That is this even in the game?
>>3162334it's autism bait
>>3157572Nice loop
>>3162334>he doesn't want a trust pocket blob for underhanded pvp tactics
i tucked away a frost blob for science and forgot what i was going to do with it
>>3160394>without major consequence5% is not a major consequence. The corpserun itself is much more punishing than losing 5%
server I'm playing on might just die to incredible lag in ashland's. Is there a fix beyond forking up for another server upgrade?
>>31631455% is when the levels take forever.
>>3163195This mod https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/1570 minimized a lot of the trouble we were having. Ashlands was practically unplayable. With the mod it still ran like ass, but notably better. It was tolerable at least.
Cartful of iron is shipped back to the forges, still a fuckton of unopened crypts at the bonemass portal so hoepfully this should last us a while
>>3164789i think we need to somehow intentionally extra-lag chunk and load in as hitton of iron into one smelter.
>>3164791>rebind E to the scroll wheel>wait until someone else with bad inet gets near>profit
bros... I thought I was clever making my base just off-shore on an island which I spawn-proofed and surrounded with a stone wall, but I just got a raid and everything spawned either on the shore/in the water, swam over, and started beating on the wall while swimming or while walking underwater unimpeded. I wasn't able to hit them at all except with arrows because otherwise I'd be swimming too. I think I'm either going to have to relocate to a more distant island, or make some ugly ass raised terrain pillars to block spawns in the shallow waters...
>>3166955Valheim devs HATE players who organically fortify their base instead of building ugly trenches and cliff faces.Also fuck you only enemies get to swing while swimming also we gave them unlimited stamina so water bases just don't work period get fucked

So is there a reason they haven't tried to make the wood ladder more smooth over time? they can't actually think it looks or feels good to stop and jump over each and every step, right?
>>3169702the swede is dangerously allergic to work, especially when it involves implementing QoL
>>3169702Like every other inconvenience in the game, they left the fixing to modders
>S-TierMeadows, Black Forest, Mountains>A-TierSwamp, Plains and Mistlands>B-TierAshlands>C-TierDeep North>A-TierI think the upgrade costs for iron stuff in swamp is too excessive, the armor is a noob trap, and the mining of iron itself feels more boring than other types of mining somehow. Other than that I like the swamp.Mistlands grew a lot on me, I miss the more aggressive AI the seekers had during the first month back in 2022. 1.0 changes to wisp torches and the buff to wisplight makes the wisp density fine to me. Insects feels like a weak theme though and the biome could use more mob variety. Love the food and items in mistlands. Sailing in mistlands, running through mistlands and jumping along peaks in mistlands is all great to me.Plains is just missing something, but I don't really know what. Variety of fuling villages maybe, better group AI. Lore doesn't feel as good as previous biomes. >B-Tier and C-TierThe itemization in Ashlands and especially in Deep North felt bland to me.pre-nerf ashlands mob density made it feel dangerous enough, the problem was just that it was too constant which annoyed me after a while.I don't think the moulds/casts really solved anything, since they're drops you get so many of them anyway, either they should be in chests, or you could just skip them and have you craft moulds directly in black forge, the moulds you get from Krigens could just require a Frost Foundry upgrade that you get the materials for from Mörkhalla instead and achieve the same type of progression.The jump in weapon strength from ashlands to deep north felt weird too.The first 6 biomes are all better connected, while Ashlands and Deep North are much more "get the biome metal and the biome plant+meat and go beat the biome", while you kept using the same materials and crops throughout the other biomes much more which I liked, like carrots in Misthare Supreme, or silver in HimminaflFoP is a flop.
>>3170051>Plains is just missing something, but I don't really know what. Variety of fuling villages maybe, better group AI. Lore doesn't feel as good as previous biomes.I want there to be ancient scrolls of Fuling history of the pre-war days when Yagluth was still alive. I also think the area needs some kind of minable resource like how you mine copper and tin in the black forest.
>>3171712maybe with the wishbone you could find zinc and make brass with copper, but what use that would be I'm not sure.Weapons/armor would feel weird for brass, then it would be better to go for some fantasy metal I think.So trinketscosmetic stuffspyglasshorn
>>3171712>Also think the area needs some kind of minable resourceTechnically tar is that, since the quickest way to get a bunch is to drain out the tar pit and gather the remaining tar interactables. Although there's not much reason to get a lot of tar outside of mods.
>can't collapse mine giant remains in the mistlands like any other node after digging them out of the groundWell that's fucking lame. Waste of an hour.
>>3172573I've done it
>>3172588Really? It would only collapse the soft tissue for me even though I've dug around more than enough.
>>3172594It took more than I thought it needed, but eventually I made it pop.I'll have to get a webm of it at some point.
>>3172594>https://valheim.weirdgloop.org/w/Copper_Deposit#Gallerythe bounding boxes for the remains were probably clipped into some bit of terrain nearby
>>3172679I got a small collapse when I got near the end of the skull, when mining the right cheekbone which was "close" to the ground still large enough to fit myself between the skull and terrain, so that was probably the part holding it all up.
in ashlands I use the fairy fountain as a reminder that it's night and I shouldn't go outside
>>3173004I just use the inability to see a damn thing as a reminder that it's night
>HexiumIs this just full of DRM and telemetry like the old OdinSlop mods? I don't see why else some (((creators))) would move off Thunderstore
>>3174719How did you get this picture of my player character?
>>3175112it still fucks me up that the male model has bigger tits than the female one
-_-left for 1 minute and my 3 carts rebelled
>>3175463you're better off demolishing your full carts over your boat so they fall apart into the little cargo crates, instead of trying to transport the carts themselves. The crates seem a lot less finicky in my experience since they don't have a weight stat attached to them like the cart does.
>>3175831yeah ended up doing that for 2 of the carts at least1 cart had ashwood, the other grausten so it doesn't matter if a few crates of that disappear during the trip
>>3176021Well they shouldn't disappear at all until you empty them, but I'm glad it worked out.
>>3176091they can bump around, even break and fall through the floor of the ship, already happened to 1 crate before setting off
when do you lads want to do yagluth so we can start grinding mistlands? does anyone want to catch up?
>>3176143when you say break, do you mean bug out and glitch through the deck, or physically break like a building piece would, i.e. a fence being broken by a greyling?
I've yet to find flux
