Yes I know we got the Crystal Axe, Frostner, etc... but we do not need a whole enchanting magical weapons line.

I respect your opinion, but I never understood this train of logic. Valheim is a very unrealistic and dreamlike game that has flaming swords, glowing bows, and literal dragons. I for one would love to see more kickass exotic weapon types that can do cool things and look cool. Do you really mean to say that you wouldn't like to take your pick of a spear that crackles with lightning, a sword that spits flames endlessly, or perhaps a megaton sledgehammer that strikes the earth and releases a noxious cloud of poison? Now I'm not saying we should end up with lightsabers and literal lasers or something, but I like the high fantasy aspect of being able to use the elements to my advantage and customize my experience depending on how I'm feeling. Yeah there are probably mods that add enchanting and magic and stuff but it just doesn't feel the same as something officially sanctioned by Iron Gate. If I wanted something more grounded I would play a hardcore survival game.

The game does have fantasy elements. But it is tasteful. If its kicked up much more my personal opinion would be it can become to much to quickly. Like most modern games today which just have screen vomit all over them. Your not suppose to be a "God" in this game. Your constantly reminded that you are vulnerable and it should keep that theme throughout . Just my 2 cents for the sake of discussion.

Again, that's a really valid opinion, and I can see where you're coming from. I offer the rebuttal that you aren't really a God, but rather a God Slayer. Maybe the ability to enchant most weapons wouldn't necessarily be the right fit for the game, but I do think more elemental weapons are not only a fun idea in concept but are almost necessary to flesh the game out further. Even if there are only 1 or 2 weapons with a specific element, I would still like to see every element present in the game represented in the player's arsenal. Eikthyr, the literal first boss of the game, uses lightning as an elemental attack. Thor also makes appearances and harnesses lightning. Obviously our vikings shouldn't be as powerful as Thor, per se, but having SOMETHING that can harness electric power would still be very cool. Thor JR, if you will. After all, we are trying to prove ourselves to Odin, and building power and conquering the world around us is all a part of that. Wouldn't it make sense to gain strength and become your own legend by the end of your journey in Valheim?

Yeah Draugr Fang bow glows, as does the porcupine, Frostner, dvirgent ciclet , yellow mushrooms, thistle , dragon eggs, crypt keys, and Surtling trophies. Sure i missed some stuff. Point isn't what glows, point is it's absurd to reject the premise of enchanted weapons on the fear that item glow somehow diminishes the game.

I disagree.

Sooooo... Anyone else kinda bummed out that we can't make Lightning or Electric weapons with the thunder stone? Maybe it's something they'll add down the line, but what the heck? The first two elements that come to mind when I think of "vikings" is Frost and Electricity. We have Frostner, now give us Mjolnir! :happyBUD:

welcome to early access
things take time to add
be patient :3

Not gonna lie, using thunder stone with the artisan table to "enchant" weapons would be dope AF

Right? Imagine being able to imbue almost any weapon with Electric, Frost, Fire or Poison as long as you have the materials. That would open up ssssooooooooooooo many combat opportunities and make this game even more infinitely replayable.

With the way this team responds to player feedback I certainly cannot rule it out. I have a bootleg copy of the Dyrnwyn that i'm hoping to upgrade past lvl 1.

If you have Dyrnwyn in your inventory do you get the option to upgrade it at a forge? Or do you just have to spawn it in at max level? I know you can get the materials for it currently but the crafting recipe is locked away which is simply a major bummer. (I know they'll probably add the weapon proper in the Ashlands update but c'mon... It's already good to go, it's in the game with stats and a crafting recipe and everything. I wish they'd just enable it already.)

I was not aware it was an option to spawn it at a higher lvl. Mine is at 1, and no option to upgrade , even with flametal bars handy.

Sadly my F5 is not working all of the sudden and I have no idea why. Or i'd try to spawn at higher level.

I forget the exact command but whenever you spawn a piece of usable equipment or armor you can select what level you'd like it at. I remember making a test character on a throw-away world and spawning in various enemies and pieces of gear. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the command is like "spawn SwordIronFire 4" or something.
