ValheimWeaponClasses Continued

Raise a Class Obelisk, choose your path, and grow stronger the way you fight.

Ten weapon classes wait at the obelisk: Sword Master, Archer, Crusher, Assassin, Brawler, Wizard, Lancer, Bulwark, Executioner and Warlock. What each one does is yours to discover. Perks stay hidden until you earn them, and every class has a look of its own once it wakes up.

Made for players who love a challenge

This mod was made as an add-on for players who enjoy a hard game. The author plays on Immersive+ settings: no map, fire hazards and very hard combat. Power comes slowly, earned over time. When you die, Valheim still takes its toll on your normal skills, but your class levels stay: the power you earned with your weapons is yours to keep.

It only adds to the game and replaces nothing, so it works alongside almost any other mod.

Getting started

1. Build the Class Obelisk with the Hammer (Crafting tab, 5 Wood and 5 Stone).
2. Interact with it to open Class Choice, pick a class and activate it.
3. Fight with that class's weapons. The class levels from 1 to 50, and every 10 levels something new awakens.
4. Reach level 50 with any class to open a second class slot. Two classes can be active at once (Max Active Classes in the config, default 2).
5. Past level 50 the journey goes on: the Star Perks page waits behind the star on each class.

Want a peek?

No spoilers here. But if you want to know what a class holds before you commit, everything is in plain sight in the config files, which are created on first launch:

BepInEx/config/andythedemon.valheimweaponclasses_continued.cfg      every perk value, one section per class
BepInEx/config/andythedemon.valheimweaponclasses_continued.XP.cfg   every XP gain: creatures, level curve, stars

Installation

Use a mod manager (r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager), or install by hand:

1. Install BepInExPack Valheim and Jotunn.
2. Copy this package's BepInEx folder into your Valheim folder. It holds one file, BepInEx/plugins/ValheimWeaponClasses.dll: the whole mod.

Multiplayer: install it on the server and on every player's game. The server's settings are sent to every player when they join, so everyone plays by the same rules, and players on another version are asked to update.

Coming from the original mod: uninstall it first; this release uses its own plugin ID and config files.

Changelog

1.0.3

• Burning, poison and spirit damage now show the mod's own calmer effects instead of the bright vanilla ones.
• The ice staff got a new look and now works with one of the Crusher's perks.
• Melee combat feels better in a few places.
• A couple of classes learned new tricks. Find out which.
• Some perk values were rebalanced.
• Config values can now be tuned at most 20% up or down from the defaults, so the balance stays intact. A value outside that goes back to its default.
• The mod now speaks Russian when the game is set to Russian.
• Smaller fixes and polish.

1.0.2

• New Class Choice menu. It opens on all ten class heroes, each under its own carved nameplate with the class rune and its level. Pick a hero to read about the class, then Activate it, open its Perk Upgrades, or go Back.
• Your active classes glow gold.
• The heroes match your character: male and female versions of every class.
• New carved headers for the Class Choice and Star Perks menus.
• The classes are laid out in the same order as the runes on the Class Obelisk.

1.0.1

• Star levels count correctly. Reaching level 50 is star 1 and gives no star point; the first point comes with the next full bar (50,900 total XP), then one more for every bar after that. 1.0.0 gave one star and one point too many. Existing saves are corrected on load with no XP lost; if that extra point was spent, the class's star ranks are reset so the points can be spent again.
• An XP gain that carried a class past level 50 in one go now counts the extra XP toward stars.

1.0.0

First release of ValheimWeaponClasses Continued, the continuation of ValheimWeaponClasses by BunzBoiModding (with permission).

• The Class Obelisk and its Class Choice menu, with all ten classes to choose from.
• Perks that stay hidden until you reach them, and Star Perks beyond level 50.
• Every class has its own effects.
• Every perk value and every XP gain can be changed in the config files.
• In multiplayer the server's settings apply to everyone, and other versions are asked to update.
• The whole mod is a single DLL.
