About this mod Author’s original text
ImmersiveTrader
ImmersiveTrader turns trading into a full progression system for
Valheim.
BETA: ImmersiveTrader works in multiplayer, but bugs and
unexpected behaviour may still occur. Please report issues directly to
p0kahotnaz on Discord, or on the
Discord HypnoMODS server.
Instead of relying on a single merchant, the world contains 14 regular
traders — two in every biome from Meadows to Ashlands — plus the roaming
Legendary Mieteg. Trade coins for useful resources, hunt creatures
through contracts, transport physical cargo, build reputation, unlock
new stock and use custom scrolls and navigation items.
The goal is to make coins, trading and exploration useful throughout
an entire playthrough while reducing repetitive resource grinding
without turning Valheim into a creative-mode item shop.

Traders & progression
| Biome | Traders |
|--------------|-------------------------------------|
| Meadows | Midka & Troldad |
| Black Forest | Grimvald & Rudy Warg |
| Swamp | Mokra Dzika & Encek |
| Mountains | Hrothgar & Ylva Frost |
| Plains | Bjarki Goldtooth & Ragnar Turnipson |
| Mistlands | Tyrron & Grelka |
| Ashlands | Spalony Zenek & Skjold Cinderborn |
Later-biome traders are locked until your character has participated
in defeating the previous biome boss. Progression is personal, so
joining an advanced multiplayer world does not automatically unlock
every trader. Legendary Mieteg is the exception: if you find him,
you can trade with him.
Every trader has a distinct role, appearance, equipment, stock,
contracts, cargo routes and reputation progression. Their locations use
custom camps and buildings intended to feel like part of the world
rather than simple shop markers.

Contracts
Every regular camp has a Contract Board. Press E to open
a radial menu with that trader's five hunting contracts — 70 regular
contracts in total.
Carry the physical contract while hunting. Completing a regular contract
grants reputation and +2 levels to its associated Valheim skill. In
multiplayer, nearby players with matching active contracts can progress
their own contracts from the same kill.
Cargo & Lox Caravans
Every regular trader also has a Lox Caravan. The Lox is a functional
caravan, not a normal tameable creature: interacting with it opens a
radial cargo menu.
Each trader offers 5 shipments, for 70 cargo routes in total.
Cargo costs 10 coins, is heavy and cannot pass through portals.
You must physically move it to the destination trader to receive the
reward and reputation.
Contracts and cargo are personal in multiplayer and are protected from
other players taking over your active task.
Reputation
Each regular trader has an independent five-level relationship:
| Level | Reputation | Main unlocks |
|--------------|-----------:|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| L1 | 0 | Basic stock |
| L2 | 12 | New stock + biome upgrade idol |
| L3 | 28 | New stock + Reef-Crusted Shell |
| L4 | 44 | New stock + Ward Scroll + Deep Sea Shell |
| L5 — Trusted | 64 | High-tier stock + Enhancement Scroll + Pearl-Bearing Shell + one-time Trusted reward |
Reputation comes mainly from contracts and cargo deliveries. Each
trader has their own Trusted reward, giving a reason to build
relationships with more than one NPC.
Scrolls & navigation
ImmersiveTrader adds 17 Enhancement Scrolls for temporary bonuses
such as elemental damage, health, stamina, Eit
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:
