I think i must have just gotten lucky then, just went to the top of a mountain biome and found 4-5 massive veins which kinda set me up for the rest of the game silver wise as it seems after silver it's back to iron!

Gonna try a different area tonight, search a few mountain biomes so far and only found 2 veins but it was mega rich veins. Next for me would be black metal from Fulings, me and a mate managed to setup a base on the plains but its becoming a challenge keeping it up and running while being constantly attacked by Lox's and Fulings! The drops are nice though
If you don't bother or get to close to the Lox's they'll generally leave you alone. Fulings are fairly weak to kill especially if you can pick them off one by one with two people, one shielding one hitting them with an iron mace. A draugr bow also helps pick things off from a distance, even with wooden arrows if like me you can't be bothered to keep getting feathers.

I killed my first troll today, yay!
Admittedly, it killed me 3 times first The skill loss penalty for death is quite harsh. I only wanted to have a look at a dilapidated stone structure on a little island just off the coast, but the troll wasn't having any of that. So I was determined to go look at it. It contained nothing, not even a chest. But that wasn't the point. A bit further along the coast, I found some different trees I could cut down with my flint axe. Fir trees...same as beech. Pine tree - jackpot! Core wood, just what I wanted. But the noise aggroed another troll and then I saw the entrance to a cave behind the troll. Obviously the troll's cave. So I was determined to enter the cave. That troll only killed me once. Into the now abandoned troll cave. Or so I thought. It turns out that trolls are less solitary than I thought they were. I don't know how many more trolls were in the cave, but it was more than none. Run away, run away!

Beat the crap out of Moder last night and again this morning. We had to setup two outposts near the spawn point and a small 'foxhole' dug into the mountainside near his spawn so we could retreat and heal up. He/it seems to struggle with uneven terrain when it does land from time to time.
That paved the way for me to setup a noob outpost in a small section of the Plains so I could practice against the little gobbo goblins. They drop black metal so I've gathered enough to make a Lv2 shield. Mosquitos are less of a nuisance now with wolf armour too.

can you plant pine wood trees like beach trees ive chopped down a few pine trees but no seeds seem to be dropping
You can, they drop pine cones which can be replanted.

I hope they introduce some oil into the game so I can lubricate those bloody noisy door and gate hinges.

I've just noticed that I've played Valheim for over 14 hours. So that's slightly over £1 per hour so far and I haven't even made an attempt at the first boss yet. I haven't fully explored the first biome. I've only built one small base and a very simple camp (just a 3-walled hut with a bed and a campfire because it was getting dark and I was a long way from home).
Gaming is such cheap fun!

Yeah he has always been regarded as the toughest boss as the swamp is an absolute pain to traverse and then you have some of the worst elemental damage being dished out alongside countless adds.

So, just thought I'd grab myself a copy to see if it something the kids would enjoy. Just logged in to have a quick look at the graphics and basic interface. I was only messing around for five minutes tops, and now Steam is saying I have 66 minutes game time. Uh-oh...

Im 118 hours in so far in 18 days. Only done the eldar boss and just been base building in the plains
Time definitely passes more quickly in the real world when playing this game! I'm apparently 120 hours in but it feels like 10...

I think I "sllightly" over-prepared for the fight with Eikthyr, the first boss fight. L2 Finewood bow, 100 fire arrows, L35 bow skill, Troll leather armour torso and legs, leather helmet. I was expecting it to be a hard fight. It took 12 arrows and I took negligable damage. Nowhere near as hard as a troll.
Wait till you get the last 2 swords you can pretty much 2 hit trolls lol
Seriously though, once you get Iron you go from a slow pace to a rather fast one and you can quickly level up your armor and weapons thats if you get lucky with a swamp thats full of dungeons.
