Helheim RPG

WE'RE MOVING

HelheimRPG will be moving to Hexium as many of the Mod Authors we rely on to make our pack possible are going there and only intending to produce content moving forward on that platform. As such we will be migrating as well to ensure that we can get updates and fixes for primary modpack functionality. Currently, we are on both platforms and I will maintain that structure until such time as I cannot update required mods side. At this time, I will deprecate the TS package and only maintain the Hexium one moving forward. You can find our new main ModPack page here: HelheimRPG on Hexium

ALPHA NOTICE

The Helheim Modpack is in a playable alpha state and this documentation will be fully filled out as we move on to release. Bug fixes and tester support will be my priority work until the modpack itself is fully completed, but I will provide updates to this documentation with each version release of HelheimRPG. Vanilla raids are disabled as of 0.0.9 until our new custom raids that are level and biome appropriate are prepared for release. Once the full balancing work, currently we're finishing the Queen fight and Ashlands, and raids are complete we will move into a beta/full playtest state.

PLEASE SEE ROADMAP BELOW for details on development plan and current progress.

See Known Bugs below to see known issues we're working on.

What is HelheimRPG?

Helheim is a modded version of Valheim with custom game mechanics from the MMO and RPG game types. Here you grow in power through leveling and can specialize in various ways to customize your experience through each play through. The goal of Helheim is to provide a rich RPG experience within the survival sandbox we all know and love without losing any of the things that made the base game great.

HELHEIM FEATURES

Balanced Progression Experience

Rather than use Valheim's traditional progression system, our system works much more like early era MMOs where you level by gaining experience. Levels allow you to spend stat points that considerably change your character's abilities as well as an advanced skill system that allows for class-based play

Class Fantasy

Lean into to your favorite RPG build with a wide variety of skills, items, and equipment that will allow you to be a Warrior, Rogue, Mage, Ranger, and many more. Using the building blocks you can settle into one of those roles, or make a unique or hybridized class all your own to explore the lands of Helheim.

Quality of Life Enhancements

Helheim's QOL features were carefully selected, hand-picked from the finest collection in all the land and configured to the nines to ensure that no required process feels like a chore. Things such as automatic storage to nearby chest, crafting from nearby chests, enhanced building ranges, enhanced building, and more are all baked-in for your gaming pleasure.

Fresh Combat Mechanics

This pack features a number of skills that make combat unique across multiple playthroughs by having Class Skills as well as a number of progression-unlocked skills that provide unique ways to traverse the world of Helheim. The player is effectively allowed to choose their playstyle through this methodology on each unique character they create which creates the need for new strategies that express class identity and player skill.

Progression Protection

In HelheimRPG each player has their own unique keys for progression. As a result of this, new players on an existing server won't have to deal with dangerous night spawn and other problems that come with being keyed for a later area than you belong in. On the flip side of this coin, this protection also prevents players from equipping items created from tools beyond their current progression to ensure that every player experiences the full progression curve as intended.

Base Defense Options

Beyond a number of added fortifications available to you from the build options on Helheim you will also find that our turrets don't target
