Patch notes just dropped invalidating a couple tips! store.steampowered.com/news/app/892970/view/4199120329649538868 You can now ride asksvin across lava Ask Armor now has a nicce Set Bonus! Might be worth trying now Vines can be ground in the Ashlands outside of the shield generator bubbles! Plus, they also now grow on grausten You can no longer get coal from burning wood stacks :(

They also added frost resistance back to the older cloack. Yeah it was anoying if you had a base in mountain and mistlands under.

[@JPooger]

Good. I get it from a progression standpoint but even just night time causes cold bebuff and mountains can kill you. The cloaks need cold resist lol. ​@@Bullminator

[@RossoCCX]

I've found that destroying the charred spawners is a wasted effort, as you quickly get swarmed by the neighboring charred horde who won't tolerate vandalism. Hopefully they tone down the range in which nearby enemies can hear you, because if you so much as sneeze in Ashlands....you're done for!

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

yeah true but i still think they are worth destroying

[@BriceDewitt-zu2sr]

oh yeah the swarming is a bit much at times for sure I love the biome but yeah that is overwhelming for sure

[@Bullminator]

You cant hit anything without getting swarmed 1000%. However, using a hoe and raising a mud wall will not cause any aggro (and its also loud). You can abuse this to make landing in ashlands easier.....however watch out for fire blobs are they can edit terrain.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

#15 is incorrect, there is a new tool : dual axes. And oh boy there are good at chopping wood AND everything alive.

Remember before Ashlands update when dwymmer or whatever the flam sword was called it was just a re textured iron sword with flames. And the flame metal looked like it was burning hot in those deposits. Btw this is in the empty Ashlands with only surtling and flame metal before update.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

I do. they have revamped it

[@BriceDewitt-zu2sr]

yeah me and my friend went and messed around in the old ashlands foolishly 🤦‍♂thinking we could take that ore and actually use it once the biome got updated we found out that is not the case so yeah... don't try to go back to that version for the ore definitely lol

[@BriceDewitt-zu2sr]

definitely agree the flametal armor is more powerful than the barley wine but both have uses IMHO I have been testing things in the new public test for the ashlands to get a feel for the new stuff and what is good as it is and what IMHO needs work I love learning lol

I heard from another video that the flametal pillars will be on a timer from the first pickaxe swing and not random chance of starting the sinking, hope this helps someone.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

You might be right. I assumed they functioned exactly like leviathan but there may be a nuance there. Either way you gotta be quick!

[@cl1977]

Haven’t seen anyone mentioning it, but the flametal towers come back after they sink, and you can keep mining them. I put up a portal nearby, and by the time i returned after teleporting the ore to my base, the flametal tower was back.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

you're correct. Apparently that is a bug currently that the flametal will respawn if portalling or dying but the intent by the developers is for them not to respawn so you expect that when it formally launches

[@cl1977]

@@SpazzyjonesGaming I thought maybe it was on purpose, as a way of making it just a little bit of a challenge to mine it, especially if it is deep within the lava. And that it would make some sense that it would return to the surface when nothing is pushing in it or some kind of logic like that

[@cl1977]

It might also just be a bug as you said

[@gagedower5096]

Interesting note, not sure if it’s supposed to happen but ive had one of my flamemetal pillars come back up before. But im playing after the full release

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

Yeah my understanding is they are intended NEVER to respawn after sinking. That said, I know in the PTB there were some bugs where they were reemerging. I don't know if all those bugs were fully resolved.

thats a fair point. I just think of them as a weapon rather than a tool and I don't really consider the blackmetal axe a weapon really

[@FlameH0t]

Why do people keep saying that you can only have 1 crafted Dyrnwyn sword per server? I have 3 on mine and I've never touched dev console commands... Only played legit and I have 3.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

How so? My understanding is each dyrnwyn requires one of the 3 fragments and you can only find 1 at each of the 3 mysterious locations. Do you have increased resource drop rate? That might give you more than one fragment when you pick it up

[@FlameH0t]

​@@SpazzyjonesGamingYep, increased resources, so I got 3 pieces of each part when I looted each piece location. So I can make 3 on my server.

[@Daddyching41]

Ashlands biome look really tough 😂😂😂

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

it is definitely VERY tough

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

Are the flametal spires like leviathans, in that they continually spawn (infinite) in different locations? Or are they gone forever (finite) once they've sunk?

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

what I do know is the intended behaviour is for them to despawn and never respawn in the same location. I don't know if they respawn in another location or not. That said, they are currently bugged in the PTB and do respawn in some circumstances but this will be fixed before full release.

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

@@SpazzyjonesGaming Hopefully they respawn and you can run across another one like you can leviathans. Otherwise, there's a finite supply of flametal.

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

@@GUNNER67akaKelt Agreed

[@MichaelPrewittVideos]

They don't respawn, but there are so many flametal sources you can easily get all you will ever need.

[@samheldman3154]

have they changed enemy spawn rates yet? Getting swarmed by 25 charred, 2 morgen and fallen Valkyrie upon landing the ship on the shore was brutal xD

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

I know they are still tweaking things. My understanding is they reduced the aggro distance so you should be pulling in fewer enemies at once hopefully. All that said, they aren't finished tweaking things yet so we will see where they land on it

[@saunshilu]

@@SpazzyjonesGaming from what i heard there was a bug aggroing nearby enemies due to the trees catching on fire and alerting enemies, the overall amount of enemies are still there but wont bumrush you just for breathing a country mile near them

[@itsssnek810]

No, nothing for spawns has changed. BUT what has changed is, Enemies will no longer aggro from miles out because a tree fell no where near you. That was the issue. If a tree fell due to the cinders raining down, it alerted charred to you. And i hope IronGate doesnt change any spawns. Ashlands is supposed to be a warzone, Adapt and overcome. DOnt wish for somehting to be easier

I think the berserker axes are better for harvesting wood than the black metal one

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

you might be right. I always think of them as weapons not tools

[@itsssnek810]

Berserkir axes are weapons primarily. Not tools. They cant be utilzied as tools. But they only use 1 axe when wood chopping compared to combat utilizing both axes.

[@MetalinTheSky]

@@itsssnek810 What do you mean by "can't be used as tools"? I use them for chopping trees all the time. They're quicker than the black metal axe, but the durability is a bit low.

Feather cape not imune to frost is such a shame. I'm in love with my Feather cape. Why doing this?

[@SpazzyjonesGaming]

i think because they want other capes to also be viable

[@itsssnek810]

Because the feather cape had too many upsides with no downside before. Now its weak to fire and no longer grants cold resistance, this is a great change.

[@jaylebreak4474]

Wolf armor chest piece does grant frost resistance and that is just fine for use in the mountains. This change may have more to do with the upcoming North Lands.

Totally fair! Do you have a dedicated PC setup that you use for hosting the server? The problem with valheims posted servers is that they are dependent on the host being online for others to play so thats the benefit. However, if you have your own personal server hosting, by all means use that!

Do you actually host a Dedicated Server or just host the server than no one can play without you being online.
