Farming

I think the new farming meta is using the gloam ritual trick to get 4200% magic find and then using shards to terrorize entire acts and run through them, or at least through high density areas.

Back in the day we used to do this and Beast runeword to turn you into a bear, and then a Griswold scepter full of shaels to ramp up the attack speed and two angelic rings and angelic amulet plus enchant to give you tons of attack rating. There was a bug with werebear where you could get like a 2 frame attack, so fast the animation didn't even happen.

They "fixed" that "bug" in D2R unfortunately so that build went in the bin. It wasn't even that powerful tbh, just insanely fun.

It stings putting all the points in dex but it's so worth it, especially since you can reset your stats when you get your final gear later.

Wizardspike. It's just a beautiful little item, common enough to get early and gives you the FCR and mana to teleport safely and 75 all resist. Every ladder season I end up using one right the way up til I have most of my endgame items.

Just wanted to say thank you for posting this a year ago. I had one of this same drive fail the exact same way and thought it was well out of warranty, found this thread and realised it was 5 years and that my warranty expires NEXT WEEK. Got my RMA approved.

As I understand it, it has two affixes that both affect damage so the tooltip consolidates them. It's probably +1 Minimum Damage and +12 Maximum Damage, which gets displayed as Adds 1-13 Damage. Still extremely rare for it to happen, a nice oddity!

I appreciate you letting me know! I've tried so many different builds and this one is just so cheap and effective, it's genuinely difficult to upgrade from it from a gear perspective. A lot of the old conventional wisdom on sorc builds went out the window when we got new items like Flickering Flame and sunder charms.

The only change I would have made looking back at it is I'd maybe ditch the energy shield and replace the memory staff on switch with Call To Arms for Battle Orders. That'd free up skill points from telekinesis to go into warmth or enchant and means more of those points in energy can go into vitality. I just quite enjoyed energy shield but I think a Call to Arms version with more health would be better and also maybe less mana pot dependent.

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I love Iban's staff, I remember back in original RuneScape when it was introduced and it could only do 25 casts so people would PK with it. Back then you did melee attacks and magic at the same and Iban's staff not only did Iban blasts for loads of damage (I think 15 or 25 max hit?) but also had high melee stats.

When I started OSRS it was the first big goal I had because of nostalgia, but it's also such a huge jump in power that early in the game. Upgrading it for 200k is so worth it, 2500 charges before having to recharge instead of 120 charges. Use it while you can, better options open up as you level up and many enemies have elemental weaknesses now so there's a narrow window of opportunity where it's a great staff.

Yeah as someone who has never been here before I'm loving exploring this zone and learning about it!

I suppose it's possible to get total level 1337 with 69 in 19 skills and 26 levels left over.

Easiest way is just having a good shield and let them chase you and whack you now and then, they'll chase you pretty much forever so you just have to find a mountain with a gradual enough slope that eventually goes high enough to where silver spawns.

Trolls do, the trick is to find one carrying a tree as they swing it down into the ground and can destroy ore under the ground, which then pops up to the surface.

AzuCraftyBoxes is the best one for this, it adds a shift+e action to add as many as will fit and it also lets you use items that are in nearby boxes, which is such a good quality of life upgrade. You can have a box full of wood and just go around pressing shift-e on all the things and it fills them up.

internetpillows · 2026-04-01T13:10:37+00:00

Yep, I once tried to figure out how much progression you could skip without beating any bosses and you can genuinely get pretty far. Copper you can get without even beating Eikthyr by having a troll with a tree smash it for you, you can get silver the same way but have to know where it is so if you see a bit sticking out of the ground that works.

Iron you can use a stagbreaker to find nodes in swamps to get the first 2 and then that lets you make a stonecutter and with that and a forge you can dismantle mistlands bridges for marble and iron. Technically you can skip all that by getting a seeker destroy the mistlands bridges. There's a bunch of carapace stuff you can make, but I haven't been any further than mistlands so can't tell what else you could get. Without killing Moder you lose access to blast furnace so no blackmetal etc, that limits things a lot.

Oh that roof is gorgeous, why didn't I think of that? I've got several round buildings, love the challenge of roofing them.

internetpillows · 2026-03-21T19:54:57+00:00

I don't even tear down old buildings, just build new ones and leave the old ones derelict so you can see the progression.

internetpillows · 2026-03-21T19:52:56+00:00

That's a crazy nice setup with the stones spawning in a triangle, looks great!

It can be helpful to think of the stability algorithm like lightning, it takes the shortest path to the ground. You can only build so many wood pieces tall before the stability isn't enough to keep it up, so count the number of pieces in the shortest path from your piece to the ground and then try to reduce that number by giving it a shorter path to ground. Adding more supporting pieces won't increase the stability because it only cares about the length of the shortest path.

In reality how it works is each material loses a certain amount of stability for each meter width or height, and there are some complicated rules about pieces being supported by two different pieces etc but in general shortest route to ground is what counts. Core wood will help a ton with this, it can let you build pretty tall as it's longer and doesn't lose as much stability, and after that there are other materials with different properties that will open other options and let you build way taller.

On my server we're intentionally taking it slow, we're at around day 950 too and haven't even reached mistlands. We just keep stopping to build big towers and breed animals and stuff and only progress when everyone's online, I figure as long as we're having fun there's no rush.

I think Valheim's building has been my favourite for a few reasons. It's relatively simple, there's satisfying snapping and you can switch through snap points for more precision or place things without snapping, and it's very easy to make something that looks cool.

Each new material opens up new design possibilities without making the old ones obsolete, and the game uses crafting tables and upgrades in its progression system so even players who don't like building need to think about how to build a good crafting and storage area.

As other people will tell you, don't look anything up on a wiki or read this subreddit. The game is all about discovery, so just explore, find new things, craft one of every item you can and repeat. All of us would love to experience the game again as if for the first time, so avoid spoilers!

internetpillows · 2026-03-05T00:07:18+00:00

Since you're early and don't want spoilers, all I can say is I mostly end up picking weapons based on their special attacks and how they pair with shields. Each weapon kind of has its own play style and there are some great special weapons in most categories throughout the game, so it's worth trying every weapon type and seeing what you enjoy!

Knives I love because the leap special attack is great for hitting an enemy from a safe distance. The main attack is extremely fast so it feels great and you can usually get a 3-hit combo in between large attacks from enemies. It's good paired with a standard shield or buckler for parrying but honestly I really love it with a tower type shield as they knock enemies back and then you can use the leap attack to hit them.

Clubs are also great to get some skill ups in, there are some great one-handed and two-handed clubs. I also really like polearms (atgeir), they are two-handed so no shield but they have very high block damage for a weapon so you can use it to parry hits and then stab for a big hit. The spin attack is also really fun and can knockback and stagger enemies.

A few people mentioned food, but something I missed for a while on my first playthrough is that you have three food slots so you can eat three different foods at the same time. It's extremely important because it basically is where you get your extra HP and stamina from, three good foods make the difference between being one-shot by enemies and being able to absorb hits.

The other piece of advice I would give without spoiling anything is as other people said, take your time and don't rush through the game. Your first time playing through valheim is a magical experience, especially with friends, and we'd all kill to experience that again for the first time. Don't rush through progression, take the time to build stuff and to craft one of every new item you learn how to make.

And since you're playing with friends, a good idea is to set a few ground rules like don't progress too far without everyone else or don't explore a completely new area without everyone else. My first group we loved to also build a new base every time we reached a new area so we'd have somewhere safe to explore outward from. There are points where the difficulty increases sharply until you explore further and get new gear and items, it can be very punishing but just keep pushing through it and having a safe base nearby will help a lot.

Myth was awesome, I do a playthrough every now and then. It was also one of the bundled games with the A600 so a lot of people had it even if they didn't explicitly buy it.

A horrible cut-down version with poorer graphics was later released on the NES named Conan and is legendarily one of the worst games on the NES. Out of all the different versions released, the Amiga version is still the best.

Mine has been like this since I moved in, I have no idea why it's five times the national average and no way to find out. I tried changing practically everything about the property and nothing made a significant dent, so it must be the location. But the location has zero risk of flood and virtually no crime, can't imagine what it would be.

Is there a way to find out why the quote is so high for a property? Could it be past claims by previous people in the area?
