Adjusts skill gain and death penalty multipliers in Valheim.
About this mod Author’s original text
Experience Tuner
Adjust Valheim skill experience gain and death penalties via configurable multipliers.
- Host authority: only the session host/dedicated server configuration is applied. Clients automatically sync the active multipliers when they connect no matter what their local config says.
Configuration
After installing, launch the game once to generate the config file at:
BepInEx/config/yourname.valheim.skilltuner.cfg
Edit the file to change:
- ExperienceMultiplier (default 1.0) — scales skill XP gain
- DeathPenaltyMultiplier (default 1.0) — scales death skill loss
Set values higher than 1 to increase the effect, lower than 1 to reduce it, or 0 to disable. When playing multiplayer, make the change on the host (or dedicated server); connected clients will adopt the host's values automatically.
Requirements
- BepInEx Pack for Valheim (denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim-5.4.2101)
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:
