README

Valheim Armory

Valheim Armory is a continuation of Valheim Additions. A small mod designed to fill gaps in the valheim ecosystem.

The goal of this mod is to create a more diverse but not sprawling selection of weapons to make all playstyles feel fully supported at each level.

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.

Boss Weapons

Eikthyrs

Eikthyrs weapons are split into two groups, one requiring the workbench and the other the forge. Meaning that some of these weapons will require metals from the black forest.

Axes

Greataxes (2H Axes)

Battleaxes are a fun but very challenging playstyle in valheim. They are slow so you generally need to kill your opponets before they can kill you, which happens fast.

  • Note: 2H Daggers will float infront of item wall mounts due to their separated attachment style. They display normally on an item stand.

The addition of 2H daggers at lower tiers also provides you a way to focus on that playstyle all of the way up till the current end of the game.

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.

Please note that basically ALL of the configuration is server sided. Which means that it requires a restart of your game to take effect. This allows me to ensure that the server and the client are always in sync with the details of everything- like how much damage you did to that greydwarf.

Current configuration options:

  • Damage
  • Damage per level
  • Recipe
  • Stamina cost
  • Block amount
  • block per level
  • Crafted amount (where applicable)

FAQ

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

  • A. There is a default VES config in the VA folder (VES.ValheimArmory.default.yml), it must be moved to the VES config folder. This gives you full control of configurations that are actually applied in regards to VES. The folder you should place this config file in is BepInEx\config\ValheimEnchantmentSystem\AdditionalEnchantmentReqs

Q. Epic Loot doesn't automatically drop these weapons, what gives?

  • A. There is a default Epic Loot config files (EpicLoot_Valheim_Armory.loottables.json, EpicLoot_Valheim_Armory.iteminfo.json) in the VA folder, they must be moved to the Epic loot config patches folder. \BepInEx\config\EpicLoot\patches

Q. The bronze crossbow costs dragon tears?

  • A. Delete the config for the bronze crossbow (or your whole config file).

Q. Why does disabling the recipe do nothing?

  • A. You must have an item enabled, for the recipe disable flag to do anything. When an item is disabled it is completely removed from the game, so its recipe doesn't matter.

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

Currently in-progress

Potential Spoilers!
  • Designing Boss Weapons for the mistlands

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
  • Named Mace (blackmetal mace)
  • Silver sledge
  • 2H Warhammers (Maces but bigger)
  • Better VFX for weapons
  • New spear alternatives
  • 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. Optionally follow the instructions to setup VES or Epic Loot configs.

- Added the option to enable/disable craftable state for all items. This is seperate from enabling the item itself, you can now enable the item to be loaded into the game. 
	But keep it non-craftable, this might be useful if you only want a specific weapon to drop from Epicloot etc.
