Nord Cast Crafting
After spending some time adventuring through the deep north collecting different crafting molds, do you have difficulty finding what you actually want to craft at the Black Forge or Galdr Table? Nord Cast Crafting makes the Deep North crafting workflow easier to browse by grouping the casts together at the top of their respective crafting station. Additionally the configuration options allow you to also move groups of casts to other work stations and or adjust the station level requirement if you prefer.
At a glance
- Groups supported cast recipes (Armors, Shields, Weapons, etc.) at the top of their crafting station's recipe list
- Lets the host configure the station and required level for each cast group if desired
- Optional Valheim Armory support
- Optional Dual Swords support, including an option to bring the Nord Dual Swords into the standard mold, cast, and Frost Foundry workflow
What it changes
The mod sorts the key, armor, shield, magic weapon, and nord weapon casts ahead of other recipes at their stations. This sorting option preserves the game's craftable-first behavior and is enabled by default.

Additional configuration options allow changing the crafting station and station level requirements. These station settings are grouped so one choice applies to a family of casts. Defaults match their normal game stations and levels; changing a group's station or level in the config enables that group's override. These settings are synchronized from the host.

Cast Groups
| Groups | Casts |
|---|---|
| Intricate Key | the Intricate Key |
| Heavy Armor | Helmet, Breastplate, and Trousers of the Protector |
| Medium Armor | Hood, Chestpiece, and Trousers of the Vanguard |
| Caster Armor | Headdress, Robe, and Trousers of the Caller |
| Shields | Nord Buckler, Round, and Greatshield |
| Melee Weapons | Nord Atgier, Axe, Bow, Crossbow, Dagger, Greataxe, Greatsword, Knucklechains, Mace, Sledge, Spear, and Sword |
| Magic Weapons | Northern Vengeance, Echo Spike, Spirit Caller, and Lightning Strike |
Optional mod support
Valheim Armory
When Valheim Armory is installed, its Nord Dual Axes and Nord Daggers casts are included in the station recipe sorting when enabled placing them under the original 12 nord weapon types. Configuration options allow choosing the work station and level for both weapons as a separate group.
Dual Swords
When Dual Swords is installed, its Nord Dual Swords are included in the station recipe sorting when enabled placing them under the original 12 nord weapon types. Configuration options allow choosing its work station and level separate from the other groups. Additionally the Enable Dedicated Dual Swords Mold option implements the Nord Dual Swords mold and cast to the game following the typical deep north crafting style. The cast is made with one dedicated mold (found within Winding Tunnels trash piles, Memorial Sites buried chests, and Mörkhalla weapon stands like all other molds), 24 Bloodgold, and 12 Timberwood, then hardened into Nord Dual Swords in the Frost Foundry. While enabled this replaces the direct Nord Dual Swords craft recipe while retaining its upgrade recipe. This option is enabled by default but can be turned off to restore the direct recipe.
Settings for optional mods have no effect when their parent mod is absent.
Configuration
Options are created at game launch and synchronized from the host through Jötunn. Cast sorting and the dedicated Dual Swords mold each have an enable/disable toggle. Station and level settings are organized by cast group; station choices are currently limited to Artisan Table, Black Forge, Forge, Galdr Table, and Workbench for ease of use, with levels 1–7.
