UtgardeBackpacks
Ashlands and Deep North backpacks for Adventure Backpacks, built on its public API.
About this mod Author’s original text
Utgarde Backpacks
Adds an Ashlands backpack and a Deep North backpack to Adventure Backpacks, using its public API.
There are no new models. Each pack is a runtime copy of the Adventure Backpacks Mistlands pack, tinted ember red or ice blue. The inventory icon is still the Mistlands one.
Requires Adventure Backpacks 2.2.6 or later. The server and every client need this mod; Jotunn enforces that on connection.
The backpacks
| | Ashlands Backpack | Deep North Backpack |
|---|---|---|
| Station | Black forge, level 3 | Black forge, level 4 |
| Recipe | Ashen cape x1, Asksvin hide x5, flametal x10 | Deep North cape x1, moose hide x5, gold x10 |
| Upgrade, per level | Asksvin hide x4, flametal x2, charred bone x5 | Moose hide x4, gold x2, seal hide x5 |
| Slots, quality 1 to 4 | 6x4, 7x4, 8x4, 8x5 | 7x4, 8x4, 8x5, 8x6 |
| Carry bonus per quality level | 40 | 50 |
| Feather fall, frost resistance, cold immunity | From quality 1 | From quality 1 |
| Unique effect | Fire resistance | Strong frost resistance: frost damage cut to a quarter |
| Rare drop (0.2%) | Charred warrior, archer, and mage | Jotun warriors and Jotun witch |
| Boss drop (8%) | Fader | Frozen King (final phase) |
Both packs halve the weight of their contents, add 1 armor per level, and slow you by 15% at quality 1, easing with upgrades, like the Mistlands pack. Recipes, stats, and drop rates can be changed in the Adventure Backpacks config under [Backpack: Ashlands Backpack] and [Backpack: Deep North Backpack].
Existing servers: check the effect config
Feather fall, frost resistance, and cold immunity are Adventure Backpacks' own effects. If your Adventure Backpacks config already exists, it may hold Effective Quality Level: Ashlands = 0 and DeepNorth = 0 in each [Effect:...] section, and the file overrides this mod's default. Set them to 1 in [Effect: Feather Fall], [Effect: Frost Resistance], and [Effect: Cold Immunity] while the server is stopped. The mod logs a warning for each one that is not 1.
Uninstalling deletes the bags
Valheim deletes items whose prefab no longer exists. If you remove this mod, every Ashlands and Deep North backpack disappears, along with everything inside it. Empty them first.
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:
