ARCHER QUIVER SLOT

A PLACE FOR YOUR ARROWS

Keep your quiver close. Give it a place of its own.

Archer Quiver Slot adds one dedicated equipment slot to ExtraSlots for the Shadow, Frost and Misty quivers from Vikings Archer. Discover a supported quiver to unlock the slot, then let Vikings Archer handle its equipment effects, appearance and ammunition as usual.

Compatibility / v0.1.12

Built against Valheim 1.0.16 with BepInExPack Valheim 5.4.2351. Requires Vikings Archer 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4 or 1.2.5 and ExtraSlots 1.2.13, 1.2.14, 1.2.15 or 1.2.16. BetterArchery 2.0.2 integration is optional. Install on each player client; the dedicated server does not need this helper.

Adjustable lower-back placement requires the reviewed Vikings Archer 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4 or 1.2.5 release. With Archer 1.2.1, the slot still works and the original visual placement is retained.

YOUR KIT / WHAT IT DOES

• Adds one Quiver cell through ExtraSlots' custom equipment API.
• Accepts Vikings Archer's Shadow, Frost and Misty quivers.
• Follows ExtraSlots' discovery check. Archer 1.2.1–1.2.2 also use its legacy Quiver Slot setting; 1.2.3–1.2.5 use the public quiver API.
• Leaves equipping, status effects, visual creation and quiver contents with Vikings Archer.
• Offers an adjustable lower-back position to help fit the quiver around backpacks and armour.
• When the reviewed BetterArchery 2.0.2 is installed, makes its arrow settings recognize ammunition supplied by the quiver.

This is a slot bridge for those three items. It adds no quivers, recipes, tome slot, ammunition system or keybind. It does not rewrite inventory/save data. The optional arrow fix changes two ammunition lookups inside BetterArchery's projectile and aiming patches. Damage, elemental effects, arrow consumption and the rest of the firing logic remain with the existing mods. Other mods' quivers are not supported.

AzuExtendedPlayerInventory is incompatible with this helper. Use ExtraSlots as the equipment-slot provider. Do not also assign these quivers to a generic ExtraSlotsCustomSlots cell. ExtraSlotsCustomSlots is optional, not a required dependency.

READY THE QUIVER / INSTALLATION

• Close Valheim and select the profile you play with in your mod manager.
• Install ArcherQuiverSlot and the dependency versions listed above.
• Launch the modded game. With Archer 1.2.1–1.2.2, keep its Quiver Slot feature enabled.
• Craft or pick up a supported quiver. Once ExtraSlots recognizes its discovery, the Quiver cell becomes available.

The earliest supported item is the Shadow Quiver, crafted at Vikings Archer's Archery Table. Its recipe and progression belong to Vikings Archer and may differ with server settings. An empty quiver cell before discovery is not required to be visible.

Each friend who wants this slot needs the helper on their own client. No new world is required. Keep a character backup when changing equipment-slot providers.

Manual installation: install the dependencies first, then copy the package's plugins/ArcherQuiverSlot folder into BepInEx/plugins. Keep only one ArcherQuiverSlot.dll.

Coming from the local test ZIP? With Valheim and your manager closed, replace the locally imported helper-managed package. Both use the same plugin ID and slot ID. Do not keep both copies.

Removal or changing equipment providers: first unequip the quiver into ordinary inventory, save and quit. Then uninstall the helper. Removing a slot while it still holds equipment has not been gameplay-tested.

FIELD NOTES / SETTINGS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Use your normal ExtraSlots layout settings. Archer 1.2.3–1.2.5 do not require its AzuEPI-specific slot option for this ExtraSlots bridge.
