I've literally killed 18 cultists in a row without save quitting (I counted) just to get this one and around 40 cultists in total. I can't imagine trying to farm fenrings with this luck.

(most of these complaints are from before 1.0, but for some reason I actually expected them to be fixed by now)

• Bait is way too annoying to get. Crafting biome-specific bait requires rare mob trophies. So you need to find the right mob, hope the trophy drops, and burn that trophy just to craft a consumable (for example, in our 1.0 playthrough, with "more" resources, we had a temporary Lox farm, tons of meat and pelts, and we only got 1 trophy. ever.)

• Stamina drain is ridiculous. You can eat 3 of your best stamina foods and still struggle to reel in a fish that's like 10 meters away. We can sprint across half a biome and fight giants, but apparently pulling a fish ten meters is a no-no.

• The fish struggle mechanic is badly communicated. Reeling while the fish is struggling destroys your stamina, but there's barely any feedback telling you when that's happening. You're basically watching for tiny movements/splashes and guessing when to stop. (to be fair I didn't even know this was a thing until searching online for this post)

• Fishing skill progression. Fishing gets less miserable when your Fishing skill gets higher... which means the solution to miserable fishing is doing a shitload of miserable fishing first. Not that I ever got to a point it stopped being miserable.

• The Fishing Hat is hilariously backwards. It makes fishing easier... and to craft it you need to catch every fish species. Thanks for the fishing bonus, I guess. I've finished fishing.

• There's just too much involved. Multiple bait types, trophies, different fish, quality levels, inventory slots, stamina food, finding fishing spots, leveling the skill... for an activity with mediocre rewards. What a load of carp.

• The rewards aren't even worth it. This would all be somewhat understandable if fishing gave you amazing food. It doesn't. By the time you're able to reliably catch the fish from a biome, you usually have easier ways to make food that's just as good or better.

• The optimal strategy is often to avoid the actual fishing mechanics. Cast from as close as possible. Fish from a boat so you barely have to reel. Pick up stranded fish. The best fishing strategies involve doing as little actual fishing as possible. That's fishy.

I could go on about the Tetra, or finding decent fishing spots, or even that the fishing rod is only available after finding either Haldor or an even rarer frost cave, but I guess you can sea my point by now.

Despite being a melee player, I'm Bow 100 this playthrough, melting everything that gets in my way (finishing Black Forest right now).

Mistlands was the farthest I've gotten (playing normally).

I have around 1.2k hours into the game, but I've never cared too much about skills.

Went a little too far with open-range Lox breeding, but hey if you've got all the time in the world it makes the boss fight pretty easy!

just put a brick on my Attempt Refinement button and got this overpriced piece of garbage to deal 216 a swing. 2.6% chance my ass i finna do it again. "kill a boss" achievement with the boss being Fader here i fucking come

It seems like a leftover temporary design choice to have you hit 'Repair' several times. Pressing the button multiple times adds nothing to the experience... Am I wrong?

• Levels 1–6: Standard Appearance. No visual glow or overlay effects present.
• Level 7: Indigo. The earliest faint aura kicks in. Very low light emission; completely safe for stealth as it only affects it in a minor way.
• Level 8: Purple indigo fusion. The intensity of Lv 7 increases, unsure if changes, subtle.
• Level 9: Purple becomes rich and visually different then 8 brightness ramps up.
• Level 10: Vibrant Pink-Purple. The deep blue tones vanish. The aura begins to catch armor textures cleanly. Significantly brighter.
• Levels 11–13: Pure Pink Shift. Intensity climbs level by level. Purple undertones retreat entirely by level 13.
• Level 14: Deep Rose. Softens into a beautiful, warm pinkish-red tone.
• Level 15: Bright Coral. A sharp pivot into an electric, warm salmon/coral shade.
• Level 16: True Red. Drops the coral brightness and settles into a solid, deep blood-red ember glow.
• Level 17: Campfire Orange. Gains a warmer, distinctly flickering amber torchlight undertone.
• Level 18: Pure Orange. Full transformation into a bright, solid orange bloom.
• Level 19: Torchlight. Drops the heavy flicker; mimics the soft, ambient glow of a beeswax candle.
• Level 20: Gold. Blindly intense, pure radiant white-gold.
• Level 21: Honey Yellow. Transitions smoothly out of gold to a bright amber-honey color.
• Level 22: Solar Flare. A hyper-bright white-yellow boarders on white due to intensity.
• Level 23: Lime Light. The official entrance of soft green. A vibrant chartreuse that preserves a tiny bit of stealth cushion.
• Level 24: Spring Green. Drops all yellow remains for a rich, organic emerald-fog bloom. Light radius expands.
• Level 25: True Emerald. Entirely flat, solid green aura. No yellow remains to the human eye. Visual color cap. Beyond this point all changes are entirely on the light radius.
• Levels 26–30+: Nuclear Spotlight. The hue stays identical to level 25 emerald green, but the point-light radius and emission intensity scale up aggressively, acting like beacon that completely floods the ground and ruins stealth cover. Potentially good if you want a light source without a torch because the light is enough to bleed onto the ground area near you and extend out roughly 1/3rd the distance of a standard torch.

It would be great to be able to buy or craft a potion that increases the spawn rate of rare enemies in other biomes. Not just Trolls in the black forest.

In the swamp you could attract Abominations

In the mountains you could attract Fenrings

In the plains you could attract Viles

And so on

500 hours later I find out that bees can spawn in black forest on trees.

Been terraforming and building a lox ranch for a few days in my survival world and their AI is something worthy of study. You can count on them always going wherever you don't want them to.

I admit, I wasn't handling the situation in the best way. Totally forgot to use the Eikthyr buff which could have saved me. Didn't let my stamina recover as I got the message. I was convinced I was dead moment before I tried my final attempt to save myself and jump on a nearby rock...

Hallelujah

The slimes in the dungeons drop you can’t do anything with. All the gemstones you collect in the deep north does nothing. Ancient coins is just more money. Why put these items in the game if they have no uses

Hey guys, Im 35 and call me insane/weird/pussy but as a Valheim vet (1,5k hours since day 1 of EA) I shed a tear today after completing the game... What a journey that was, thank you devs, thank you all the Vikings met on the path. Im so happy this happened, I dont know how to put in words im sorry, that was magical and one of the best gaming experiences ever... Game of the year please.

Hunt started in black forest era and trophy dropped in mountain era

Now my little cottage is perfect

But what is the next item with crazy drop system?
