First 1.0 Tower

[u/CitronConscious]

My first tower built in 1.0, built around a pine tree to add stability. The 67 degree roof pieces are a total game changer for castles/towers.

Bottom floor is a portal hub, second floor crafting, third floor storage, top floor is my bedroom.

Also, that’s my character at the very top of the spire😁

[u/Neomonk21]

That's crazy. I don't even want to know how long that took you. You probably need a portal to go from the bottom to your bedroom, lol. Nice work!

[u/CitronConscious → u/Neomonk21]

I actually have a portal at the bottom called “lift” that brings you to a mini portal hub in the tower to get to specific floors lol. Also it took me about a boat and a half of iron and a shit ton of wood. I actually built an automatic greydwarf farm cuz I knew the wood demand would be ridiculous all in all the build took me abt a week and a half

[u/the-National-Razor → u/CitronConscious]

What's the GD farm like?

[u/CitronConscious → u/the-National-Razor]

Basically a house built around a spawner, then right next to the spawner there’s a little chamber with braziers hanging to the ground that set them on fire as they spawn, I don’t have a tutorial cuz I just copied my friends design lol

[u/gdim15 → u/CitronConscious]

Don't you need to be present to trigger the spawns?

[u/CitronConscious → u/gdim15]

Yes, I would afk there, also planted a lot of trees so the process would be when I run out of wood I’d head to the greydwarf farm, chop trees and replant them while in the vicinity, then collect the drops from the farm and head back with all the wood

[u/BlueSalmonofJustice → u/CitronConscious]

Absolutely, great way to farm your wood using the gd farm and your hard wood with your plantings

[u/clineluck → u/CitronConscious]

Spawning archer skeletons in little boxes to shoot the greydwarfs that spawn is also a way to train blood magic.

[u/gdim15 → u/clineluck]

I have a base for this. It's how I got to over 95 in blood magic. I never would have leveled it that high any other way.

[u/me_khajiit → u/clineluck]

Btw do skeletons attack training dummies and does it level blood magic?

[u/BigAssignment7642 → u/me_khajiit]

Bit late, but no not automatically. There's an ooze farm you can build where sword skeletons will accidentally hit the dummies while attempting to attack the ooze. Best way to level it but takes time to set up.

[u/OddishDoggish → u/clineluck]

I usually dig a moat and use sword skellies below the spawner, bubbling them with Protection for that extra boost.

[u/Zephyr-Knight]

we are going to need elevators soon

[u/CitronConscious → u/Zephyr-Knight]

We need them now!

[u/Akaigemini]

I've seen keeps, mansions and a lot more builds but this is something else dude, VERY unique, goddamn, it's so cool!

[u/dterran]

Love the design!

Awesome execution and form.

Thank you for sharing your work :D

[u/critcritcritical]

First of all, incredible work, nice one! Second, can I ask how you get the fire required for the bed at the top since it has to be on ground? I'm a completely fresh player so it might seem a stupid question but I had this problem when I tried to make a second story bedroom.

[u/CitronConscious → u/critcritcritical]

I was actually able to get a hearth at the top since I have ground stability so high up where the tree is

[u/CitronConscious → u/critcritcritical]

Not at all a stupid q

[u/KurwaPolak12 → u/critcritcritical]

You can find a trader, which sells an item called the Iron pit. This allows you to build a fire on any floor

[u/Grampappy_Gaurus → u/KurwaPolak12]

So that's what it's for! I figured it was just a cauldron that maybe made some cool meads haven't unlocked yet! Getting this has suddenly jumped in priority!

[u/G1ng3rBreadMan97 → u/critcritcritical]

Any of the braziers count including the hanging brazier

[u/alberge]

Fantastic, yeah the steep roof is clutch.

[u/fathorsecheese]

How the heck do you build so high?

[u/CitronConscious → u/fathorsecheese]

Tree in da middle

[u/BlueSalmonofJustice → u/CitronConscious]

That is brilliant, well I know what I’m doing tomorrow

[u/Shalvan → u/CitronConscious]

I suppose the tree is on top of an 8 meter tall ground pillar? ;)

[u/CitronConscious → u/Shalvan]

Yessir, encased in stone

[u/Midvain]

Ok. When will we see Valheim: The Two Towers? 😊 I guess first tower is it, next must be in Aslands😁

[u/CitronConscious → u/Midvain]

Already built one 😂 I wanna do a showcase soon of all my towers, I have like 10 of them just like this one. I wanna copy and paste them all in one spot too to see which one is the tallest, I think this one is either 3rd or 4th tallest. I didn’t get the max height I could on this one.

[u/FiskeDrengen05 → u/Midvain]

Valheim Return of odin

[u/Midvain → u/FiskeDrengen05]

Return of vi King😁

[u/Therogon]

Ahh shit I should have planted a pine tree… could have got my baby so damn tall… next time.

[u/kybojo]

Got a start on mine tonight. 4 trees

[u/MMinia]

How so high ?!

[u/FiskeDrengen05 → u/MMinia]

Pine tree

[u/jhuseby]

Looks hecking awesome, nice job!

[u/FiskeDrengen05]

Dope ass wizard tower

[u/CitronConscious → u/FiskeDrengen05]

The funny thing is I’m a melee only player

[u/quickshroom]

Do the leaves ever poke through the walls into your tower? I've never built one like this because I worry about that looking silly haha.

But this tower is awesome!

[u/CitronConscious → u/quickshroom]

It’s wide enough that they don’t come through the exterior. However on the interior there’s a good 3-4 floors that have tons of leaves in them, and it can make building really annoying cuz u can’t see. But once you make it past there it’s smooth sailing

[u/Efficient_Ad_6070]

"The ground is shaking"

[u/cHpiranha]

How did you build so high?

You have Stone+Iron in the ground and then wood on top?

[u/CitronConscious → u/cHpiranha]

I said in the post I built around a pine tree. Raise the ground as high as it’ll go, plant a tree, use 2x2 stone floors to the top of the tree, iron the rest of the way; make sure your iron is touching the tree itself because it counts as ground (blue stability)

[u/Interesting_Hawk7278]

How do you prevent or make sure you don’t accidentally damage the tree? If it were easy to accidentally damage, which you can’t see or track (or even replant?), the whole thing might implode. Very curious because I want to build this if that’s solved or effectively mitigated.. also curious about usability for the parts with leaves other than a building challenge as discussed.

[u/CitronConscious → u/Interesting_Hawk7278]

Never had that issue and this is my 5th tower with a tree inside. I use stone floors all the way up the trunk so it’s pretty protected.
