Crafting skill XP overhaul for Valheim 1.0.12+ — honest but noticeably faster progression.

What it does

  • Crafting XP multiplier (x2 by default — applies to crafting, building and repair)
  • Bonus XP for item power: the better the thing you craft, the more XP it gives. Item damage/armor/block = its power: a flint knife gives pennies, a black metal sword gives 3–4 XP per craft. Biome progression comes for free
  • Building XP boost (BuildMultiplier, x8 by default, stacks on top of the global x2): placing a piece gives ~4 XP instead of vanilla 0.25. Crafting and repair are unaffected
  • Bonus item cascade (new in 1.7.0): vanilla still rolls its bonus chance (skill × 25%) for stackable crafts, but when it procs the bonus size is rolled in a cascade: +1 ≈ 35%, +2 ≈ 23%, +3 ≈ 15%, +4 ≈ 10%,... +10 ≈ 2% for batch recipes (arrows, nails — 20 per craft). Small-batch crafts (bronze — 4 per craft) keep +1, and above skill 50 a second roll can upgrade it to +2 (10% at skill 50 → 25% at skill 100)
  • Max XP per action cap (5) to keep balance
  • Softened remove debt: in vanilla every hammer-removed piece adds "debt" (cap 20) — following builds give no XP. With the mod: 1–3 removals in a row are free, debt only appears from the 4th and equals the number of removed pieces (configurable). Debt appearing and being cleared is shown as an on-screen message
  • XP for ore smelting: vanilla gives nothing for smelting. Every piece of ore you put into a furnace grants XP by the tier of the resulting bar (copper/tin 1 → bronze 2 → iron 3 → silver 4 → black metal 5 → eitr-infused iron 6 → flametal 7). XP goes to whoever loaded the ore — picking up bars or a drop/pickup loop gives nothing

Vanilla: 0.25 XP for any action, ~81,200 crafts to level 100 — arrows and a top-tier sword skill at the same rate.

With the mod, crafting new-tier gear actually moves the needle instead of arrow spam.

Examples (default config, approximate)

| Thing | XP |

|---|---|

| Flint knife | ~0.75 |

| Iron pickaxe | ~1.2 |

| Bronze sword | ~1.4 |

| Black metal sword | ~2.5 |

| Top Mistlands weapon | ~3+ |

| Placing a build piece | ~4 (BuildMultiplier 8) |

| Repair | x2 of vanilla |

The Rested buff (+50%) stacks with the mod.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/frost.craftingxp.cfg (created after first launch):

  • GlobalMultiplier (default 2)
  • BuildMultiplier (8) — separate multiplier for placing build pieces
  • BonusPerPowerPoint (0.02)
  • MaxXP (5)
  • BonusMaxExtra (10), BonusEscalationChance (65%), CascadeMinBatch (10) — cascade tuning
  • BarBonus2Start (10%), BarBonus2PerLevel (0.3), BarBonus2Cap (25%) — bronze +2 rule
  • RemoveGrace (3)
  • BonusPerBarTier (1.0)
  • BarTiers (copper:1 … flametal:7 — bar names are editable, see the "bar without tier" log line)

What's new

1.7.0

  • Bonus item cascade: batch crafts (arrows/nails) can now roll up to +10 items on the vanilla bonus proc (top chance ≈ 2%), bronze gets a +2 upgrade roll above skill 50

1.6.2

  • Bilingual README, package icon

Requirements

  • BepInEx Pack for Valheim
  • Works solo and in co-op

Install

r2modman Mod Manager: just "Download" with dependency auto-resolution, or Import → Import from file.

Русская версия

Прокачка Ремесла для Valheim 1.0.12+ — честная, но заметно более быстрая.

Что делает

  • Множитель опыта Ремесла (x2 по умолчанию — действует на крафт, постройку и ремонт)
  • Бонус за силу вещи: чем круче вещь крафтишь, тем больше опыта. Урон/броня/блок = сила: кремнёвый нож даёт гроши, меч из чёрного металла — 3–4 XP за крафт. Прогрессия по биомам получается автоматически
  • Ускоренная стройка (BuildMultiplier, x8 по умолчанию, поверх глобальных x2): постановка детали даёт ~4 XP вместо ванильных 0.25. На крафт и ремонт не действует
  • Потолок опыта за одно действие (5) — для баланса
  • Смягчённый долг за снос: в ванили каждая снятая молотом постройка создаёт «долг» (кап 20) — следующие постройки XP не дают. С модом: 1–3 сноса подряд бесплатно, долг появляется только с 4-го сноса и равен числу снесё

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
