Valheim's most recent patch turned towards the Ashlands to fix what ended up being a long list of issues. There's a couple of significant changes, but the main thing is this update will make the Ashlands easier to traverse.
"Most notably, the Flametal mining and the spawn rates of several enemies have been adjusted," Iron Gate says in a blog post. "Hopefully, this will make your Ashlands experience more enjoyable!" However, instead of making enemies easier to kill, Iron Gate have instead tweaked the spawn chance for asksvin, twitchers, charred archers, charred melees, voltures, and lavablobs.
