Moves Haldor's Wider Pockets unlock to Eikthyr and Deeper Pockets to The Elder while preserving vanilla prices and one-time purchase behaviour.
About this mod Author’s original text
Early Haldor Pockets
A small progression tweak for Valheim 1.0 that makes Haldor's inventory upgrades useful much earlier in a playthrough.
Default progression
- Wider Pockets unlocks after defeating Eikthyr.
- Deeper Pockets unlocks after defeating The Elder.
The mod only changes the required world key for these two offers. Valheim still handles their normal price, purchase state, and inventory expansion, so each upgrade remains a one-time purchase per character.
Configuration
A config file is generated after the first launch:
BepInEx/config/chooweey.valheim.earlyhaldorockets.cfg
Options:
- Enabled — enables or disables the mod.
- WiderPocketsRequiredKey — defaults to defeated_eikthyr.
- DeeperPocketsRequiredKey — defaults to defeated_gdking.
Set either required key to blank to make that upgrade available as soon as Haldor can sell it.
Compatibility
Mods that force all Haldor items to appear may bypass Valheim's normal filtering.
If using World Advancement Progression, leave UnlockAllHaldorItems = false when using with this mod.
Installation
Install with a compatible Valheim mod manager, or place EarlyHaldorPockets.dll in BepInEx/plugins.
Requires BepInExPack for Valheim.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
