@GSK Your idea about using it for fishing is really spot on. You should post that to the suggestions tab.So far it seems most useful for 'transporting' tamed animals and hunting birds (It seems to hav..

I like the art/graphical style

The very first map, when I had absolutely no clue, was very interesting in that it was island heavy to the point where the first boss wasn't even on the starting island. Unfortunately I deleted that m..

I got plenty of deer with a crude bow by sneaking up on them. Bows are not silent, so I aim the crosshairs before beginning the draw and loose the moment it reaches full extension. It took some practi..

when your bowskill is high enough, it's to fast for the command to respond. which is great, but my suspicion of a dodging code being present is still definitely there.

No they aren't. I can shoot deer as fast as I can equip the bow and fire. (BTW, it is faster to first-equip the bow than to re-equip the bow. In the latter case, there is a pause before you can draw. ..

Short answer: It's not the deer. You're doing something wrong.Long answer: The deer are absolutely *NOT* coded to dodge projectiles. They either saw you, or heard you, and it's just a coincidence that..

Made me chuckle.Valheim AI is not that advanced, fact.

the advice is appreciated but I already do that when they already know I'm there and I'm chasing. this post is me attempting to plant the seed of a small, not important, quality of life detail change...

I don't know if the OP is after any kind of help or advice considering the use of terms "work" and "grind". These are good tells that maybe it's not the best game for the OP (and t..

Plains are bad, going to the swamp not prepared is bad, you did not know this you learned and you quit because of it, it happens

I'm with GSK. I start leveling my bow and clubs (mace) and Axe right away. You have blunt, slash and pierce at the ready for any situation. I love the tier 4 iron mace with its 70 blunt. It is the bes..

Play the weapon that you like, but I don't think the space cost justifies not brining another weapon.I'm sure I'm going to take blowback on this again, but I strongly prefer a sword to any blunt weapo..

Basically, a really simple and effective way to play the game is to always have an axe, a mace, and a good bow with you at all times. If you're dispatching some enemies while cutting trees or just wan..

Axes work fine up until swamp. After that, you kind of need to start playing into damage weaknesses (for bosses anyway). During my first playthrough I almost exclusively used axes and bows. I just tho..

Deathsquito have really low hit points and are easy to kill if you simply dodge their attack. If you stand still you will die as you no doubt know. Failing that, you should have some deer antlers left..

No offense intended, but you are a victim of your own decisions not some malicious mechanic in the game.If it is your first time playing the game and you are playing blind (no wiki or YT videos, etc.)..

The giveaway is the way op talks about "grind" and losing hours of "work."If a person just decides that some part of a game is "work," and that there is too much of it, t..

I was playing Super Mario Bros on the NES, and I was like why do I have to run all the way to the end of each level (grindy). Then I found the portal room(s). And I was like why can i only portal to c..

What type of ship are you sailing? It's going to take you WAY more than 10 minutes to fill a longship with ore or refined metal. I don't see how the ship and/or travel time is even comparable to the t..

The amount of metal you can hold on even a Karve is quite a bit (120 for the K). I tend to set up a 'mining' operation on site and stay there until I have a full cargo hold.Only then do I make the tri..

ya got to lead them or just hope they zig and not zag, after a while you will be a deer sniper

Nothing beats giving your dinner a suplex before throwing it on the fire :D

It's pretty dark in here

Thanks for the post. I've started patting them a few time before I slaughter them to make sure they love me before I slice them up and have them for dinner. They taste so much better that way.

Currently seems like a novelty tool, back when you could harpoon bosses you could drag them out to sea or into a hole and just go to town with a bow. You can still use it to get serpent scales from se..

Serpents...used to use it to drag yagluth into a hole to fix him during his fight, but they unfortunately took that out. Mostly useless outside of serpents afaik.

I recently made it past Moder deathless, with my eye on Yag and my first ever deathless play through. Steam inexplicably enabled cloud save and because I use the same name over and over, my deathless ..

Stay out of - and well away from - the Plains until you're actually ready for the Plains is the best bit of advice I can give anyone playing this game. Otherwise you WILL get your butt handed to you. ..

There is really no shame in using cheat commands to get your stuff back if you just can not seem to get things to go your way. You can either fly with godmode over to your body or just spawn in some f..

Play with Valheim Plus mod and adjust all the things you hate.

If op is moving files around without knowing what they are doing, they are the cause of the bugs, and if they're blaming an EA game for mods breaking without bothering to check whether mods are suppor..

If you are using mods, chances are you are using a Unity loading engine like BepinEx. Insure that your Unity loader and Valheim are in sync.

It is up to the mod creators to fix their mods when the game updates, which is something they do for free on their own time, if they're even still actively working on it. Then it is up to you to check..

Rule #1: If you run mods, you can't blame the developer for "bugs" unless you can prove that the mods are not causing / did not cause the "bugs".Rule #2: Don't trust steam cloud sa..

Mods are why things are broken, don't blame the game.
