The Viking world map is huge, and traveling on foot is just incredibly tiring. However, there is no fast travel in the game. That is why players will have to build a portal system for their own comfort.
In the early stages of the game, when not all locations are open yet, it seems that before Any part of the world can be reached in minutes. All initial resources are located nearby. The first monsters are also easy to find. However, over time, by killing bosses, a truly huge universe opens up to the player's eyes. valheim. There is a need for fast movement. This problem is solved simply: using portals (teleports). The first few travel points will be easy to place on the starting base, but subsequent ones are better. united in the so-called "Hub".
Construction of portals
Portals are used in the game to fast movement on the map. They can be created in forge. However, this will require the development of bronze. To get started, you need get blueprint. It appears after the creation of the first pickaxe. Further, you will need the following resources:
- 2 Surtling cores;
- 20 quality wood;
- 10 gradeworf eyes;
Almost all materials are in Black Forest. We knock out eyes from the corresponding mobs. For wood, you will need to create a bronze axe. It will allow you to chop birch or beech trees, which will give us the necessary resource. Cores are obtained by killing Surtlings in the Marshes.
When all the materials are collected, you can create a portal. It is worth remembering that it can only be placed next to workbench. After placing the portal, it is necessary to give it a name. The same name should be given to the second teleporter in another location. Done, now the player will be able to easily move around the world of Valheim. True, there are more one important point: with some things in the inventory, moving in space will not work. Portals just won't work. Resources prohibited for teleportation are presented in the game mainly metals:
- Tin and tin ore;
- Copper and copper ore;
- Bronze (since this is a mixture of the first two materials).
- Black scrap metal (dropped from fullings).
Creating portals is a simple thing. But very quickly there comes a moment when a couple of teleports is no longer enough, and the player again has to think more about his movement. Here to the Vikings Hubs come to the rescue.
Association in the Hub
Hub is a bunch of portalslocated nearby. Used for ease of movement, tk. allows you not to run after newly created portals to distant locations, but to keep all teleports in one place.
There is a most practical method for creating such a place, though not the most efficient. It is included in construction of all portals in a single building. To build such a Hub, you will need to select a certain territory. Next, you need to collect all the resources for construction. The size of the building and the number of portals in it completely depend on the desire of a particular Viking. You can build several buildings side by side - you can only one. It is worth remembering that portals are immune to rain, so building your own Hub is limited only by the player's imagination.
It is recommended to build the Hub near storages with resources or a cart. This will allow faster delivery of resources. Still very often the player will need to go to the same locations behind the tree and stones. So a well-planned Hub will make life much easier. For the construction of a bunch of new portals, the area where the rest of the teleporters are most often located is suitable. Most often this location where players build their houses and expand the living area. But it's better not to build a lot of massive, vast buildings for the Hub, because. this can only spoil the appearance of the game settlement. Looks a lot more natural single building, albeit a large one.
There is also the possibility of creating portable (portable) teleporter. This is the most efficient way to get around Valheim. It will allow you to focus on building a bunch of teleporters in your own settlement, and use only one. This method will require create a portal in an already existing Hub in your home location. Call it by some name (the most important thing is to remember it). Next, you need to stock up on the resources that are required to create the portal, as well as carry them with you all the time. If you find an interesting location with both resources and mobs, you can craft a portal on the spot and name it by the same name. Thus, the player gets access to fast travel between his own base and the area of interest to him. The only problem: may interfere with resources with which it is impossible to teleport.
Hub Decoration
So that the Hub does not look ugly, you can decorate it with various decorations. For this, products from higher quality woods are suitable. For example, you can improve the entrance to the building with handmade wooden arches. Or add more stone elements. Also, players often use lighting elements in the form of torches. Everything really depends on the imagination and fantasy of the owner of the Hub.
If suddenly the Viking has combat trophies obtained in severe battles with monsters, then you can decorate the inside with them. Green torches are also suitable for this. They will give the Hub a certain mysterious atmosphere. Basically, the interior decoration of many players is decorated wooden stands for weapons. This symbolizes the combat readiness of the Viking - the ability to hit the road in any situation! You can also decorate the arch around the portal with these coasters and sconces.
In this way, Navigating the world of Valheim is not difficult at all. All it takes is some resources and some quick wits to make teleportation more convenient. Build a huge Hub building or use portable portal is the choice of each player. Each of these methods has its pros and cons. Also always worth it remember the names of all teleports to avoid embarrassing situations. In general, portals are a necessary thing. Therefore, any player should always be aware of all the intricacies of this mechanic in the game.
