About this mod Author’s original text

VitalityRewrite Deep North

By running, swimming, jumping, mining, woodcutting and not dying;) you can increase your Vitality skill, which improves many base attributes of your character.

VitalityRewrite Deep North is an actively-maintained rebuild of Gra-tak's VitalityRewrite, built specifically for Valheim Deep North (1.0.x). Gra-tak's public build is Ashlands-era and crashes on Deep North; this fork fixes that and is kept in working order.

Why a new name? This is a distinct package with its own plugin identifier (ronkisbonkis.vitalityrewrite.deepnorth), so it installs alongside the old package without conflict and is immediately identifiable as the working Deep North build.

Effects

The Vitality skill scales the following:

  • Increased maximum health
  • Increased maximum stamina
  • Increased maximum eitr (only if you already have positive eitr)
  • Decreased health regeneration timer
  • Increased base stamina regeneration
  • Increased base eitr regeneration
  • Decreased delay before stamina regeneration starts
  • Jump and swim stamina cost reduction
  • Walking and running speed
  • Swimming speed and turning speed
  • Carry weight increase
  • Jump height increase
  • Fall damage reduction (incl. configurable air-jump reset)
  • Woodcutting damage increase
  • Mining damage increase

How to gain the skill

Running, swimming, jumping, woodcutting, and mining raise Vitality. Gain rates are configurable.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
