How To Get Easy Flax & Black Metal With This Plains Base Build! - Valheim Tips And Tricks

[@chilly22]

i like how you built the base specifically for farming the goblins then just ran into the goblin camp and killed them the normal way.

[@BenderG59]

First time encountering a 2 star goblin, my buddy got one tapped. We were pretty heavy armor but we was inexperienced and it cost him his life😂

[@huzdahuz]

The frostner should be another weapon u look into, helps solo fighting goblins so much easier when they stop running

[@astralmench]

we've been farming these for weeks already. use the bow against them, its great in close combat. use obsidian or needle arrows for lots of damage.

[@linushellgren3511]

I Always use bow. I got 60 in bow, even when they close they get staggered and die on 2, 1 shot if they dont see. I use mostly Wood arrow but got needle and silver and fire as backup if shit goes down. But i use frostner sometime and always on mosquitos to. They do not one hit if all health. Like 4 hits atleast

[@AmorphisBob]

There’s a big rock next to every village. I knock out the portion that they are able to climb onto and then hollow out the rock and build a base there. I usually put a portal inside so I can get back to base to repair my bow and reload on arrows if need be.

[@larrykiddyjr161]

sharpening stone is something you get after the second boss and farm iron, Pretty sure it comes from the stone cutter, Wondering how you missed it .

[@ling5868]

Why the fuck would you be in plains before iron

[@espgtr1972]

The giant boulders in the plains you can dig down through the middle of them and build inside and nothing can touch you FYI

[@BenderG59]

Do this every time, it does some times hinder a operation unless you build out and have a a farm and a area for your windmill

[@Allanon128]

This is the first video from TagBackTV that I've seen. Here I was thinking that this guy was just like everybody else online. Then I heard him curse with "Motherless Goat!" and immediately subscribed. Now all we need is a couple of dudes singing My Little Buttercup in the saloon. Frankly, the fact that he chose to build away from the spire raises this above the rest just for his consideration of the player's potential situation. Love it!

[@countk1]

regarding planting: if you use walking pace in a straight line, you can constantly plant as it also keeps the right space between plants.

[@gavynbromley6597]

Adding spikes to your moat is also a good idea. Some passive damage on the goblins. Then you can easily break them with your hammer

[@Eannod66]

I love how Stamp plays with you. I wish I could get my hubbie to play but he's an old geezer that barely knows what a mouse is. Im so envious. Thanks so much for the vids

Quick tip on harvesting the flax and barley. if you hit it with your sword you'll harvest it much faster. Might even improve your sword skill at the same time, though I can't confirm that yet.

[@Dtk8]

Use the pole hammer middle mouse button its and aoe spin

[@bziebzie]

I can confirm that, and the best weapons for collecting it are with AoE attacks, for instance sledge hammer(but with that you can destroy your base :-P)

[@Ebb_and_Flow]

Trolls 😂

[@i3loodeaglei3ailey67]

I found 2 of those giant standing stones and built towers all the way up them both with 3 bridges interconnecting the stone structures, and then wade a circular fort roofed like a colliseum under it in the middle. Me and 3 other friends probably spent about 80 hours on it altogether. Afterwards we just scrapped our other places basically immediately abandoned them and now we live in the plains with unlimited lox, barley, flax, black metal. Plains is the best biome for sure after living in each of them I can tell you for sure. Meadows is too plain, Black Forest music is annoying, Swamp is Swamp, Mountains you're getting attacked by drakes and stone golems every 5 to 10 minutes lol.

[@gemini5286]

9700 wood crafted into wooden arrows will get you 87 range and the draw back will be so easy and at level 94 range draw back is 1 second.. if you change the attack key to space you dont have to draw your bow all the way back to get the same xp. and just hit a rock and tab away.

[@mrsogoras]

how is this dude farming blackmetal in the plains and just unlocked the grinding wheel? Didnt he build the stonecutter?

[@Voiidpriince]

Ive had it glitch and unlock a recipe multiple times when i join the server, could be the same here

[@Baka_Oppai]

@@Voiidpriince ya but he genuinely didnt even know what it was

[@ice9ify]

You need to make the grinding stone, before you get the recipe. Just getting the stonecutter wont give that.

[@dovydasvilcinskas3834]

You can deal with them normally, only 2 star goblins or fighting more than 3 cause issues :D bow is your friend :)

[@chrisallum9044]

I fight these guys with bronze. They hit through the shield...hard. I recommend, shield up, close distance. When it swings take one step back, then attack. Only launch another attack if it is staggering. If it's one with a spear, just step sideways as it throws then move in extremely aggressively. Running around stones also works well. Also a good idea to have HP and Stam potions in your hotbar. I have also learned however that even with the materials i still can't make stuff because I need to beat further bosses...go figure arg PS barley and flax I just used sneak. Take your time, then do the jitt lol Don't plant them outside the plains!

[@jiro6172]

[@inspectorsteve2287]

You were able to flatten that land out easy. Usually if I try to flatten out land that has a dip in it like yours I have to build up the land with rock. I just haven't seen the game flatten the ground when needing to add that much material before.

[@Jakesters]

Great video! A couple editing mishaps with the start of the video and around 11:30ish though :)

[@HannahSteenbock]

Beautiful base indeed! Gives me a lot of inspiration. (Sadly, I did destroy the first village I found. But there are more!)

[@spaghettiinablender7927]

The way I done it was a ran in but naked and I killed myself beforehand for the corpse run effect then I activated eikthir buff and ate carrot stew , queen's jam and turnip stew and just ran in grabbed it all and left

[@eparock]

the porcupine mace is the best... if you use a polearm and the spin attack on the crops you can instant harvest them.

[@dwaynehicks5473]

Building a freaking fortress just for stealing a pack of Flax... Did I miss something ? 😂

[@razorblade7408]

He still runs into there base to and attacks all the goblins... That also makes it even funnier

[@thewatcher611]

Not much of a farm when you just go and kill the spawner. FYI, that's the shaman. Don't waste your time this way. Just keep fighting and exploring. 2 or 3 Skilled combatants can clear a Fuling camp in less than a Valheim day. That means getting there, clearing it out, getting everything back to your base but the metal. Save that in a box to sail home later.

[@Morowski]

Sail home with stuff you cant portal? Create a second world for transferring iron/silver/black metal from chest to chest. Then go back portal to your main base, log out grab your stuff and boom, no more long journeys.... you can be over weighted and still tranfer everything by world switching.

[@BREAKocean]

@@Morowski kinda takes our the fun of it for me. I did that a lot during the copper era but everyone likes playing this game differently

[@dragos-lucian]

The first time I found the plains (by accident), exactly after beating the second boss, which means I was unprepared for the plains (thing I didn't know at that time) I was like 'These tiny green bastards are actually trying to attack me while laughing with giggly voices?! HaHa! There were only 3 of them and friggin bastards were so quick with their attacks, I couldn't aim, I couldn't hit them and couldn't run away. I was completely helpless and I of course died, which was really surprising but hilarious at the same time.

[@Noah-kd6lq]

I love this game, but I desparately want to tame more things. Imagine making your own goblin village?

[@gabrielbueno9806]

You know that William Dafoe meme where he's looking up just gasping helplessly ? That's how I imagine the goblins stuck on the pit

[@doddilbert]

make your walls out of earth. use the hoe to raise the earth around the moat. I've done this since my first base and it has worked well, even against trolls.

[@papadwarf6762]

I just dropped portal in the encampment and expanded the goblins farms . They don’t respawn and it’s safe. There are goblin patrols that respawn outside the villages

[@Davaoization]

I actually use the atgier and shield. i just walk around captain america style (just shield) and then if i parry i hot swap to the atgier- it does so much damage. about 20% of a lox's hp per staggered hit.

[@TagBackTv]

niceee

[@Davaoization]

@@TagBackTv it is actually great for group play. Me and a friend went on an hour long plains raid just hitting the little villages. The sweep attack staggers the little dudes. So once you and your party understand how the knock back will work and what not, it melts groups of little gobby dudes. Same with wolves.

[@faervas1234]

This is something I never see anyone do. You can make a bridge. on the outer edge use the 1x1 floors. leaving a gap. You can walk over it like it was a 2x2 while the mobs can't cross it. I also just bridge them with a single core wood.

[@HairlessPersian]

(Left CTRL + Left Mouse Click) will quick move items from chests and storages from and to your inventory.

How to fix the problem of killing fulings? Max lvl Blackmetal Atgeir - bring appropriate food and items to kill the fulings and stop using ineffective damage types. Problem solved. I took this idea and built my base in the plains with 4 biomes: Mistlands, Swamps, Dark Forest and Mountains (Plains bang in the middle) - I'll safely say I won't need to move again unless Meadows stops being boring.

[@maximilianodiazinzunza8116]

[@br0k3nilluzion]

do the goblins respawn after you kill them all in the village? or is killing the shamans what kills the respawn?

[@TagBackTv]

I think killing the shamans kills the respawn.

[@christianjohns8352]

Everything respawns on a timer, different timers for different creatures, you can prevent spawns using various different types of buildings such as work benches but the range of the beches must far exceed the possible spawn area or they will still spawn, albeit further away. There is another video out there on YT that lists all the spawn preventing buildings and creations as of the hearth and home patch.

i mean you dont have to build a base in the plains, just build a lillte hideout with a portal close to a big plains biome and have that portal linked to your main base, unlimited lox flax and barley, and you'll probably only have to sail back with black metal one time.
