Can you add slots if your inventory already has stuff in it or will it mess stuff up?

I'd love to have craftable backpacks. They could start with a leather sack with 2 slots that also increases your carry weight by 25, then upgrade to a deerhide backpack with 4/50, then wolfhide with 6/75 and so on. Maybe not very viking warrior-like but it'd be a substantial quality of life improvement. Either that, or move armor and accessories to dedicated slots and remove their weight, which should free up a bunch of room. I know there are mods for that, but it's one of those things that should, imo, be in the base game.

There is a mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/116 Been almost a year since the last update but there's no posts on it about it being broken.

Every house I build always has head mounts. It always feels better when a boss starts talking and cursing randomly and I then think, "sure, but your head is on my wall so..".

It replaced one of the character screens with all of the items that could be picked up and you could toggle them individually. Great for most trophies, you only need a few unless you're decorating with them. I can't remember the name, unfortunately, but it was something intuitive (Selective Pickup, maybe?). I think I got it on Thunderstore but most mods are also on Nexus and don't require two separate apps to use.

Is there a good guide or something for the changes to shield mechanics / a consensus best these days? I played a lot before HaH, but recently picked it back up with some friends, and I feel like the Darkmetal medium shield isn't as great as it used to be. Which is probably a good thing but are towers better now? Any good bucklers? I feel like I'm running out of stamina defending way more quickly than I used to.

Nah towers are bad, they slow you down a ton and that's never worth it, plus they can't parry at all. No bucklers at the black metal tier. Personally I think the best shield is actually the Atgier and its range advantage. The stun works marvelously on Berserkers and 20 wolves hunting you too.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

The fully upgraded blackmetal shield worked fine for me. Regarding stamina, I've found that moving out of enemy attack range (either stepping backwards, or rolling) is usually preferable to blocking, so that the enemy hits air and you can then step in and hit them. If you block a lot you'll run out of stamina and I think that's good in terms of balance. Otherwise people would just block spam.

Just coming back from pre-HaH, did they add anything to mitigate poison outside of brewing mead? I dislike needing consumables just to survive in a biome. I feel like poison is too strong as it's basically a death sentence without mead.

Someone said something like more armor now reduces the damage per tick? It was a while ago and honestly I haven’t checked but I have been poisoned without a potion since then and it certainly seems less dangerous.

I feel like poison is too strong as it's basically a death sentence without mead. Poison resistance mead is still the only method. I agree that it's annoying, but you really only need to chug a potion when you anticipate close quarters combat with slimes or leeches. Personally, I kill them with a bow when outdoors, and use a potion only when I come across a slime inside a sunken crypt (and only if there are other enemies). But I use a mace so I can kill them in a couple of hits, before they can poison me. I think if you play carefully, you only really need a resist potion for the Bonemass fight. In my playthrough I used a total of 8 poison resist meads before reaching the mountain biome.

Yeah I tried that but would die when they did their poison explosion through the sludge I was mining in crypts. Sometimes I'd run through the swamp without one but if I'm doing more than just quickly passing through I don't like risking guaranteed death.

If you take a giant sledge like Stagbreaker, when you go through a bit of the muck but not all the way and notice there's one behind there, you can just AoE smash them repeatedly from safety, then finish clearing the muck, I have pretty much never used poison resist outside of Bonemass.

For what it's worth, I think the Black Forest to Swamp transition is by far the roughest one. The swamp is hard as hell to navigate safely (especially with the god drat abominations popping out without warning and then walking around with a huge aggro range) and everything in it deals substantial damage to even fully upgraded bronze. You also don't have access to high HP foods yet (until you make sausages and deer stews) so if you lose control of a situation you're all but guaranteed to die. I found both Mountain and Plains to be trivial in comparison, even with the former's annoying terrain and frost resistance mead requirement at the start.

Swamps also have a near 100% chance to be actively giving you "Wet" status, so your stamina is dick and also the terrain means when trying to quickly flee you have a reasonable chance of dropping into swimming deep water, even momentarily, thus putting away your weapon and shield instantly.

Re: poison, it is a lot easier to deal with now that they've added base mitigation on armor. Another thing that works really well is using the alternate attack on the mace, that'll one-hit oozes from upgraded bronze onwards.toadee posted:Yeah that used to be what you did, heh. Definitely a change for the better though sad that tower shields still serve no real purpose, but will just have to be more on my toes. Yeah it's a bit of a shame that they're leaning into heavy metal meme weapons so to speak. The battleaxe and hammers are also similarly useless, especially when coupled with the huge movement speed penalty. Atgier is very much the sweet spot.

Tower shield seems like it would be pretty good for tanking a boss since the parry doesn’t stun them anyway. It would certainly make the block timing easier.

I’m playing causally with two other people and I’ve found the tower shield really good for swamps at this point. My gf uses the buckler because she’s good at parrying and I’ll use the tower to deal with abominations while they wail on it The best things I’ve done are Valheim Plus and the mod that removes skill and experience loss on death. I played vanilla to the mountain biome a while ago and it was a great experience but now it’s just so nice to relax and not deal with grinds you don’t feel you want to add to the game, especially with people who are more casual gamers - increased copper and tin yields slightly to get through bronze faster - infinite torches because they look cool - halved swimming stamina loss - no water damage while sailing - more inventory space and ability to teleport ore and metal (otherwise I’d just log into a storage server halfway through crypt iron runs, which is the Valheim equivalent of soaking) - production facilities take raw materials from and deposit finished products into adjacent chests - stronger structural integrity when building and no rain damage from exposed / unroofed surfaces so we can make cool houses - small-radius repair Game is so nice just to log in and chop wood and relax while building and then hear rain by a fire in a house you made with your homies

I have to say, Mountains and Plains are both very sparse. I know they're adding mountain cave dungeons next patch, but IMO every existing biome could benefit from a 25-50% increase in content variety, i.e. things to farm, points of interest, monster types, etc. Excited about Mistlands, hope it comes sooner rather than later.

There is also a new armor that reduces it even more. Poison used to be (almost) a death sentence but I haven't used the meads since I got a few iron pieces on. Haven't tried the new set yet though.

The armor value of the new set is equivalent to bronze, but you only need the helm to give you a permanent poison resist mead effect, so it may be worth crafting if you hate carrying meads and don't mind having to hunt a few abominations for the materials (although I think if you're at a point where you can hunt abominations, as opposed to being hunted by them, poison is probably no longer a huge problem).

got bonemass down and went off to mountains. as soon as I hit the snow I get the message “you are being hunted” and nearly get my poo poo pushed in by like ten wolves :0 fortunately I build bases at every biome and renovated a trio of houses along with a stone wall which without question saved my life then I made my way up the mountain again and two wolves came at me, then out of nowhere a giant rock monster came to life and pushed their poo poo in before they reached me and I noped the gently caress out of there real quick game owns

Hasselblad posted:This has not been true for over a month. Mead is still the only poison resist method available to you when you first start the biome. Because as I said later, if you're at a point where you can reliably farm the mats for the root helm, that means you're fairly decked out and poison won't be an immediate death sentence at that point anyway. You need to find and kill at least two abominations, more if you want to upgrade it. Good luck doing that in bronze armor (unless you're with a group I guess).

What's been your order for iron items? I do: iron buckler -> pick axe -> crafting upgrades -> weapons. I then horde iron for padded, skipping the base iron armor entirely.

I start with the pick so it doesn't break halfway through a crypt. Then it's usually weight that's the limit not a broken tool.

Yeah, the bone pickaxe can mine everything until the mountain biome, so there's no real need to use any metal ones. Although I usually craft a bronze pickaxe as well, and carry it along with the bone pickaxe to get some longevity during the initial trip. After that, just repair the bone pickaxe at a nearby workbench and go back to mining.

You used to need the iron pickaxe for the swamps because the mud needed more damage to break. It’s way lower now so the antlers or bronze work just as well. When I mine silver I bring along the antlers and/or bronze picks to digs out the veins so I don’t need to use iron durability on dirt and stone.

You can just log your character into your minecraft single player map and bring over as many enchanted diamond pickaxes as you want when you log back into your main valheim world. Technically cheating, but clicking the ores slightly more times isn't a good use of time or a challenge you're robbing yourself of.

I hope they change that soon, honestly. Every armor tier requires metal from its own biome, except padded. It's ridiculous.

A portal at the crypt entrance lets you repair any pickaxe and anything else while also letting you get fully rested, drop off treasure, restock food/potions, etc. Nothing's going to attack it while you're in the crypt. Just toss your iron in a cart when you need to use the portal and later drag it from crypt to crypt.
