Hildir - Haldor Trader Thoughts

[SuperDave]

Maybe there was market research done to determine that Valhiem's players would prefer to grind for cosmetic gear or trophies and I respect that, but if that is not your thing than I feel like Hildir has nothing useful to motivate the player to find her or to run the mini bosses.

Haldor has the belt that increases carry weight which is a very motivating piece of equipment to search him out for. I was thinking since Hildir is all about fashion, perhaps she could offer a purse or backpack of sorts that added another row of item slots to your inventory.

Furthermore, perhaps Haldor could have some quest options also and if players find and do quests for both Haldor and Hildir, the meta completion could unlock yet another perk. Perhaps this could unlock ability to barter with any member of their race in the Mistlands for general goods or allow the player to be able to select and use 'any' of the boss abilities they've fought hard to earn without having to go back to the alter to do so.

Wouldn't mind if some of or any of Hildirs shirts were able to be combined into a new armour set for mid to late game. Example utilising the hat & shirt's stamina reduction and infusing it into the new set. Maybe a melee set that reduces stamina for melee weapons or something. And then throw in blunt & Frost resist as an added bonus. I'd like that.

btw, you don't need to "search " for any traders. haldor is scripted to spawn only after boss 2, when you move a certain distance from map center. similar with hildir but further away

I have 600 hrs+ on the game. many restarts on world's. it's always a new random seed.never had to search for merchants. stumbled on haldor while searching for a swamp randomly every time. you don't have to be CLOSE for his icon to hit your map with M. . wiki confirmed my thoughts.
which part do you not understand. lol

you cannot miss him . could be it appears more easily after other conditions satisfied

600 hours experience and you still get basic things so wrong. Wow. That is impressive.
As others said the traders appear at fixed locations and they´ll be at the very first one of these locations you happen to find. No bosskills required to find them.

I did and you are still wrong. Stop deflecting.

What I hate about Hildir is that returning her chests now subjects you to perpetual raids by the enemies you defeated in their lairs to get the chests. I'm not interested in additional raids. If they want to respawn them back where you originally beat them, fine but I don't need them coming after my bases when they should be DEAD. (We know death is not eternal in Valheim)

seems to me hildir side quests are useless, changing colors of stamina clothes...

Brenna was rather easy but I won't kill the others for now, for raid reasons like you mention.

"the horde is attacking" raid made me raise a stone wall in emergency after berserkers almost screw up plantation base. nothing comes in now.

I think the "death is not eternal" piece is the point though. Just like you do corpse runs to get your stuff back, so too are these enemies. But since their "tombstones" were collected by you, and taken to they-don't-know-where, they're coming after you to get the loot back.

I don't like it either, but it does fit with the general theme of the game.

It could be argued other "can happen after killing the enemy" raids, like trolls and bats, are the same. Those trolls coming to raid your base may be the respawns of the same trolls that make up your troll skin armour, and whose heads are in your trophy chest.

You all make great points. The Brenna raid I don't mind either because she's easy and her trophy makes a good night light. I got the other two chests on my throw-away world so I wouldn't have to deal with their raids in my main world. I kind of think these three should be dealt with like regular bosses. You should be able to resummon them if you want but otherwise they're one and dones. The garbage that Hildir sells after returning the chests isn't worth the hassle.
