Valheim Armory

Valheim Armory is a small mod designed to fill gaps in the valheim ecosystem, making all playstyles feel supported at each biome.

This mod is balanced to be mostly lore friendly with a preference for fun and enjoyable scaling and mechanics. This mod is highly configurable, you can use all of it, parts or tune it as you need.

Bolts in treasure chests

Any treasure chest whose loot includes arrows can also hold the matching crossbow bolts, with the same stack size as those arrows. The bolts share the arrows' slot in the chest: a chest turns up ammo about as often as before, split between arrows and bolts, and the rest of its loot keeps its vanilla odds. Bolts whose crafting is disabled are left out, and a chest that already holds the bolt is left as it is. Configured in the Chest Loot config section (server synced): EnableChestBolts, BoltShare (the share of each arrow's weight that goes to its bolt, half by default) and ArrowBolts, the arrow and bolt pairs in the format Arrow,Bolt|Arrow,Bolt.

Arrow	Bolt
Wood and flint arrows	`VABoltWood`
Fire arrow	`VAFireBolt`
Bronze arrow	`VAbolt_bronze`
Iron arrow	`BoltIron`
Poison arrow	`VAbolt_poison`
Frost arrow	`VAbolt_frost`
Obsidian arrow	`VAObsidianBolt`
Needle arrow	`VABoltNeedle`
Carapace arrow	`BoltCarapace`
Charred arrow	`BoltCharred`

Chest loot is rolled once, when the area is first generated, so only chests in areas not yet visited get bolts. On a dedicated server the server rolls chest loot, so the mod has to be installed there.

Configuration

Everything is optionally configurable through the ingame mod configuration UI provided by BepinEx.

Otherwise a configuration file located at /BepInEx/config/MidnightsFX.ValheimArmory.cfg contains all of the configuration.

Configuration is server enforced your client will adopt to using whatever configuration is specified on the server when connecting.

Most configuration values are updated in real-time. Tune your weapons quickly!

Current configuration options:

Damage
Damage per level
Recipe
Stamina cost
Block amount
block per level
Crafted amount (where applicable)
movement speed (where applicable)
parry bonus (where applicable)
adrenaline gained from hits, casts/shots, projectile hits, blocks and parries (where applicable)
idle stance used by sledges, vanilla and modded (SledgeStance)
bow draw/crossbow reload time
crafting recipe
crafting station used
min level required to craft
recipe enabled
item enabled
Forge of Potential idol (-upgraderResource)

Dedicated servers

A dedicated server registers Valheim Armory's items the same way a client does. The server rolls treasure chest loot for the areas it generates, and other server side mods can resolve the items from its ObjectDB - spawn or loot tables, admin spawn commands and the like.

Forge of Potential

Every upgradeable weapon and shield can be refined past its max level at the Forge of Potential. Each attempt costs one idol, chosen by the item's biome tier (Wooden through Bloodgold), and boss weapons use the idol one tier higher. Weapons use Battle idols (Upgrader0Weapon-Upgrader7Weapon) and shields use Protection idols (Upgrader0Armor-Upgrader7Armor). Change an item's idol with its -upgraderResource config, or leave the value empty to disable refinement for that item.

FAQ

Q. Valheim Enchanting System doesn't support these weapons?

A. There is a VES config available my discord.

Q. Does this mod work with Epicloot?

A. Yes! Automatically. You don't need to do anything, all of the weapons will drop at progression appropriate spots.

Q. I want to edit the text for a weapon, how do I do that?

A. All of the localizations are added to BepinEx/config/ValheimArmory modifying localizations in that folder will result in them being different in game. Changes do require a game restart to take effect.

Q. Why does x weapon look bad?

A.
- This is my first Unity, and Valhiem mod
- My original goal with modding was to just make a singular new arrow
- I'm not a gamedev, I suck at textures, modeling and don't know the unity loaders
- I'm learning as I go, and welcome feedback
- I do this in my few hours of free time, sometimes I don't have that time

Boss Weapon Release roadmap

Additional weapon types for all existing bosses

The Boss weapon roadmap will take a number of updates. Feel free to submit ideas to the github.

Future Plans

Potential Spoilers!

Filling out boss weapons for most/all playstyles (long term)
Chitin Shield
Better VFX for weapons
More magic (eitr) powered weapons (non-staves, post Ashlands update)

Installation (Automatic)

Just download with your favorite modmanager!

Installation (manual)

Toss the ValheimArmory folder and files into your plugins folder. Technically the only thing required is the ValheimArmory.ddl, configs will generate on first run.

Issues

Please report any issues you encounter on the github issue tracker or ask for help on the discord
