EpicLootRaritySets

Turns EpicLoot into a stable equipment-based class progression system for Valheim. Since version 1.0.0, the mod is considered stable and ready for a full playthrough experience.

This mod adds custom rarity sets, boss-stage drops, special pieces, set bonuses and active abilities unlocked by completing sets. The idea is not just to find stronger items, but to build a full character around a recognizable equipment class.

If you like EpicLoot but want clearer farming goals, recognizable builds and new abilities when you complete a full set, this mod is built for that.

I am leaving my Ko-fi here in case you want to leave a tip and help me keep growing. Thank you very much for the support: https://ko-fi.com/daraodesigns

Credits

Thanks to Alpus, Radamanto and RandyKnapp for their mods, which this project builds on or uses to improve Valheim gameplay.

What It Adds

• Rarity sets for Magic, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic and Ancient.
• Set-based classes: tank, berserker, archer, crossbow hunter, assassin, elemental mage, blood mage, magical archer and spellblade.
• Active and passive abilities unlocked by completing sets.
• Visible buffs for active sets, passives, temporary states and charges.
• Movable active ability panel with icon, name, keybind and cooldown.
• Movable static passive panel with plaques and 2 charge orbs for Moonvein, Frostbrand, Hraesvelgr and Ragnar Blood Surge.
• Set bonuses that grow by rarity and piece count.
• Natural EpicLoot drops for set pieces.
• Guaranteed boss-stage set drops when a valid roll happens.
• EpicLoot and NorseDemigods configs embedded in the DLL and synchronized at startup.
• New in-game compendium/text entry: Epic Loot Rarity Sets, with class descriptions, abilities, buffs and passives translated.
• Text, tooltips and compendium content in Spanish or English depending on the active game language.
• Global pet commands using Ctrl combinations.
• Optional BetterArchery integration for LeatherQuiver.
• Bestiary integration for RDB_* creatures in loot and bounty contracts.
• Optional WolfPack compatibility for controlling Hraesvelgr summons.
• Optional Wires Enemy HUD compatibility: forces HealthDisplay = Current HP/Max HP if the mod is installed.

Dependencies

Required:

• RandyKnapp-EpicLoot
• Alpus-NorseDemigods
• Radamanto-Bestiary

Optional:

• BetterArchery: integrates LeatherQuiver as an enchantable archer set piece from Epic onward.
• WolfPack: the mod can adjust its config so Hraesvelgr summoned beasts are trainable/controllable.
• WiresEnemyHUD: the mod can adjust its config to show current and maximum health above enemies.

Although NorseDemigods is listed as a dependency, you do not need to play a NorseDemigods class. This mod suppresses its UI, energy, class selection and input while using some of its effects as visual/mechanical bridges.

How It Works

The mod creates set archetypes. When you equip every non-weapon piece from the same line, a buff with the base set name is activated. The only piece that may be missing while still activating the class is the set weapon; any other missing piece prevents activation.

That buff acts as the class flag. If the class buff is active, you can use its abilities even if the set weapon is the missing piece. When an ability requires a weapon, it checks the real equipped weapon type, not whether it is exactly the set weapon.

Active class lines:

Full-set buffs show the class name and class skill level (Nivel/Level). Active ability cooldowns are not shown through the old buff bar; they appear in the ability panel with name, keybind and counter. Passives and temporary states use the buff area, while static charge passives for Moonvein, Frostbrand, Hraesvelgr and Ragnar Blood Surge also appear in the orb panel.

Shared Systems

• Ability Panel: appears when a class buff is active. It shows active abilities only, with name, keybind and cooldown. It can be dragged while the inventory is open with Tab. If active pets exist, it adds a Pets section with Attack (Ctrl + Mouse4), Follow (Ctrl + Mouse3) and Free (Ctrl + secondary attack); the current state is highlighted.
• Passive Panel: shows 2-orb plaques for static charge passives (Charged Shots, Fire Ball, Headshot, Blood Surge). When both orbs are filled, the whole plaque lights up with a pulsing border and READY label to show that the next shot/attack is charged. It can be dragged with Tab.
• Pressing Tab recenters passive/orb panels so displaced panels can be recovered more easily.
• Ctrl + Mouse4: orders active pets to attack the aimed enemy at practical long range as long as the target is visible under the crosshair. If the enemy dies or becomes invalid, pets return to following the player.
• Ctrl + Mouse3: forces active pets to follow the player in passive mode; they do not attack until Attack or Free is used again.
• Ctrl + secondary attack: releases pets back to normal behavior without forced following.
• Pet commands apply to persistent or controlled summons from Hraesvelgr, Moonvein, Helveig and Seidr, including the Stone Golem.
• Class pets use normalized mod stats: health, damage and damage taken reduction scale with the owner's class skill so they keep up with progression without relying on raw prefab values.
• Persistent pets disappear when the class buff is lost. If they die while active, they use a 30s respawn cooldown when their class allows it.
• Friendly explosions from T.N.T., Rapid Fire and equivalent effects avoid allied targets, friendly players and pets.
• Class damage and control abilities can interact with player targets only when PvP is active.
• Physical archer traps ignore players who do not have PvP active.
• Ability, summon and temporary-state buffs use the mod's generated icons when a specific or equivalent ability icon exists.
• The compendium, ability names, tooltips and buffs use Spanish or English according to Valheim's active language.

Natural Drop Chances

Normal EpicLoot magic rolls can be converted into set pieces:

• Magic: 12%
• Rare: 10%
• Epic: 8%
• Ancient: 5%

Legendary and Mythic are handled through generated EpicLoot sections and their own pools.

bosssetdrops.json fixes each boss stage to a set rarity and converts valid equipment rolls into random set pieces from that stage. It does not inherit a random rarity from the base roll: each boss uses its assigned rarity, checks that the base prefab belongs to the allowed pool (ForceSetDropItems) and then randomly selects from the real set item IDs of that same rarity (ForceSetItemIds).

Managed Configs

With Generate Managed Config Files = true, the DLL writes/synchronizes:

• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/abilities.json
• config/EpicLoot/raritysets.json
• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/legendaries.json
• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/loottables.json
• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/iteminfo.json
• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/magiceffects.json
• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/adventuredata.json
• config/EpicLoot/bosssetdrops.json
• config/NorseDemigods.cfg

If a file already exists and differs, the mod first creates a .bak-fran-managed-... backup and then writes the embedded version. This means manual JSON edits are not persistent unless the embedded resources in the main DLL are updated too.

For servers, it is usually enough to upload the DLLs included in the package and restart:

• EpicLootRaritySets.dll: main DLL with sets, embedded configs, compendium, classes, panels, icons and base controllers.
• EpicLootRaritySetsHotfix.dll: included layer for abilities and adjustments that may remain separated from the main DLL when the package includes it.

Custom EpicLoot Bonuses

• Last Hope: custom magic effect with its own ability. When health enters a critical state, it prevents the incoming hit if one exists, heals 100% of maximum health and starts a 60s cooldown.
• Custom class effects such as AddFrostbrandSkill, AddHellsyngSkill, AddSeidrSkill, etc. increase the effective class skill level and can push scaling beyond level 100.
• Effects used in lower-rarity sets also have ValuesPerRarity configured to avoid empty bonuses, such as FrostDamageAOE and Bulwark.
• In Ragnar/Frostbrand sets, each FrostDamageAOE bonus is paired in the same counter with AddFrostDamage, because EpicLoot only triggers the frost area if the weapon hit already contains frost damage.

In-Game Compendium

The mod adds an entry to the inventory text/compendium panel:

Epic Loot Rarity Sets

It includes:

• Explanation of the rarity system.
• Description of every set class.
• Abilities, keybinds, costs, cooldowns, ranges, scaling, durations and damage.
• Values read from the current config when the panel is opened.
• Active-effect sections with buffs, charges, cooldowns, passives and temporary states.
• Ability, buff and passive names localized to the active language, just like in-game text.
• The native EpicLoot Legendary Sets page is extended so it also compares Magic, Rare, Epic and Ancient alongside the special rarities.

Main Configuration

File:

config/fran.mods.epiclootraritysets.cfg

Important options:

• Generate Managed Config Files: writes the managed configs from the DLL.
• Enable Natural Drops: allows normal EpicLoot rolls to convert into set pieces.
• Enable Set Activation Buffs: shows full-set buffs.
• Enable Ability Panel: shows the movable active ability panel.
• Ability Panel Position X/Y, Scale, Opacity: ability panel position, scale and opacity.
• Enable Passive Stack Panel: shows the movable passive panel with orbs and charged state across the full plaque.
• Passive Stack Panel Position X/Y, Scale, Opacity: passive panel position, scale and opacity.
• Enable Frostbrand Abilities
• Enable Hraesvelgr Abilities
• Enable Hellsyng Abilities: enables T.N.T., Silver Bullets, Hellsyng Pets, Werewolf Form, Bat Form, Bat Horde and Rapid Fire.
• Enable Moonvein Abilities
• Enable Nott Abilities
• Enable Ragnar Abilities
• Enable Helveig Abilities
• Enable Heimdall Abilities
• Enable Seidr Abilities
• Read Extra Sections From Legendaries Json
• Read Rarity Sets Json
• Read Boss Set Drop Rules
• Configure WolfPack
• Configure Wires Enemy HUD

Each ability section lets you change keybinds, costs, cooldowns, radii, durations and scaling values. The README values are the expected defaults. If an older local config already exists, the mod tries to migrate old defaults to current values with UpgradeFloatConfig and UpgradeShortcutConfig.

If the package includes EpicLootRaritySetsHotfix.dll, that companion plugin may use config/fran.mods.epiclootraritysets.hotfix.cfg for settings that remain separate from the main DLL, such as bat form options, Blood Frenzy, Shadow Mark or Ragnar Crush.

Development

Embedded configs live in:

src/GeneratedConfig/

When you manually change JSON/CFG files and want those changes to ship inside the mod, update those files and rebuild the DLL. If Generate Managed Config Files remains enabled and the DLL embedded resources are outdated, the next startup will write the old version again.

Changelog

[1.0.8] - 2026-09-22

Compatibility

• Disabled BetterArchery's quiver inventory-slot handling from this DLL, so LeatherQuiver no longer reserves or creates the three extra quiver slots even when equipped.
• Neutralized BetterArchery's FindEmptySlot/HaveEmptySlot quiver overrides so InventorySlots expanded cells are counted correctly during normal loot pickup instead of reporting inventory full while expanded cells are free.

UI

• Ability and passive/orb panels now refresh their localized text when the game language changes.
• Rarity set names shown on item names and set tooltips now switch to Spanish when the game language is Spanish.

Combat

• Hraesvelgr Freyja Dash now uses this mod's PvP-safe trail hit instead of NorseDemigods internal path damage: crossed enemies take notable pierce damage scaling with Hraesvelgr skill and are staggered; players are affected only when PvP is active.
• Nott Warp Strike now always staggers the empowered-hit target and slows it by 50% for 6s, while keeping the empowered hit damage multiplier.
• Updated Active Effects and Epic Loot Rarity Sets compendium text in Spanish and English for Hraesvelgr Dash and Nott Warp Strike.
• EpicLoot rarity set tooltips and active set effects now use the exact bonus values from the loaded set JSON, so FrostDamageAOE on MagicFrostbrand displays and applies 10% instead of falling back to another rarity/default value.

[1.0.7] - 2026-09-22

General

• Bumped manifest.json to 1.0.7.
• Added a safety guard around ZNetScene.RemoveObjects/destroyed ZNetView cleanup to reduce NullReferenceException crashes when leaving combat scenes quickly, especially after temporary Frostbrand lightning/passive objects.
• Fixed EpicLoot magic set repairs so damaged magic rarity set pieces can appear as repairable and be repaired at valid stations.
• Relaxed EpicLoot magic-effect item-type restrictions for all guaranteed rarity-set effects, so configured set-piece bonuses are no longer rejected and replaced by fallback rolls such as Luck.
• Improved class active-effect localization refresh: active class buff names/tooltips now refresh after language changes instead of staying in the previous language.
• Class-name buffs now show the current class skill level as their icon number and refresh as the skill levels up.
• Updated the in-game compendium text for the latest class ability/balance changes in Spanish and English.
• Updated class ability targeting so damage/control skills can interact with players only when PvP is active.
• Fixed Hraesvelgr physical archer traps so they ignore players without PvP active.

UI

• Reinforced passive stack/orb panels for classes with three-hit/passive charge mechanics so they survive equip/unequip transitions more reliably.
• Added panel recentering when tabbing, making displaced passive/orb panels easier to recover.
• Frostbrand Dash charge buff no longer flashes constantly; its icon text now shows seconds until the next charge only while recharging.
• Frostbrand Dash charges and active state are reflected in the ability panel icon/buff state.
• Added dedicated Frostbrand Dash and Dash speed-buff icons, separate from Hraesvelgr/Freyja Dash.

Ragnar

• Added Blood Frenzy and Ragnar Crush details to the compendium active-effect text and EpicLoot rarity set descriptions.
• Blood Surge now heals 25% of maximum health instead of 5%.
• Ragnar Fury now grants 1% lifesteal per stack instead of 0.5%.

• Updated the compendium to reflect Blood Frenzy, Blood Surge, Fury and Crush changes.

Frostbrand

• Moved Water Sphere out of Frostbrand and into Heimdall.

• Frostbrand Dash now grants +50% movement speed for 3s.
• Slash now heals the caster for 50% of actual damage dealt.

• Updated Frostbrand compendium text for Dash charges, Dash speed buff, Slash healing, Lightning Strike damage and root behavior.

Heimdall

• Added Water Sphere to Heimdall.
• Water Sphere pull radius increased to 30m.
• Water Sphere now keeps affected enemies pinned to the sphere until the effect ends.
• Lightning Storm now slows hit enemies by 30% for 6s.

Hraesvelgr

• The saddle state is persisted in config with the current tamed beast prefab, so it survives reinvocation and reloads.

Moonvein

[1.0.6] - 2026-09-18

General

• Bumped manifest.json to 1.0.6.
• Restored Seidr Nanocube, Elemental Shield and Frost Nova visuals to the stable 0.1.26 NorseDemigods lookup flow, then kept the current 1.0.6 costs and scaling.
• Reduced lag when swapping sets by avoiding repeated class-buff rebuilds and repeated inactive-controller cleanup every frame.
• Improved global pet commands: Attack now targets the aimed enemy at long visible range instead of being limited by the old short command range, and Follow now acts as passive follow until Attack or Free is selected again.
• Added normalized class-pet scaling for Hraesvelgr, Moonvein, Helveig and Seidr summons: health, outgoing damage and damage taken reduction now scale from each pet owner's class skill with conservative adventure-friendly values instead of relying on raw prefab stats.
• Added Hraesvelgr Tame Beast on Block + Mouse4: tames a valid beast within 10m, removes the current Hraesvelgr pet, persists the chosen prefab and makes Summon Beasts spawn that creature with Hraesvelgr pet scaling.

Helveig

• Added Blood Aegis: healing applies a non-stacking shield to the healed target equal to 15% of the ability's potential healing for 15s, even at full health.
• Blood Aegis now applies the Elemental Shield visual to the healed target and sends the buff/shield state to healed player clients.

• Reduced Summon Monster duration from 60s to 20s.

General

• Updated README documentation for the current Moonvein and Frostbrand defaults.
• Fixed EpicLoot-enchanted equipment repair checks so valid damaged magic items can be repaired at usable repair stations.
• Reduced repeated buff/UI work for passive effects: temporary passives now keep their icon fixed while their own duration expires, instead of constantly refreshing the same icon/text.
• Reduced runtime cost from pet and Water Sphere updates by throttling repeated area/target scans.

Frostbrand

• Restored Water Sphere to the stable NorseDemigods flow: the mod now calls the native Norse Water Sphere and only adds the custom gravity/root behavior on top.
• Removed the extra custom Water Sphere visual that could create a second sphere or make the visual appear in the wrong place.
• Water Sphere gravity now runs in controlled ticks instead of scanning every frame.
• Water Sphere now forces the native Norse sphere's destination to the aimed point, while still respecting the configured target range.
• Updated Water Sphere Norse config defaults to Base Damage = 8 and Damage Per Level = 1.
• Reduced Frostbrand eitr costs:
  • Water Sphere: 35 -> 20.
  • Slash: 30 -> 15.
  • Elemental Shield: 50 -> 35.
  • Thor Lightning Strike: 40 -> 25.
  • Legacy/bridged Frostbrand Dash, Holy Strike, Holy Sun and Crush costs were also migrated down.

  • Thor Lightning Strike increased from 8 + 1.40/level to 14 + 1.80/level.
• Recharge buff now updates when it gains/renews charges and then expires naturally from its duration.

Moonvein

• Added Arcane Shots: normal Moonvein bow shots add lightning and spirit damage, both scaling with Moonvein and passing through EpicLoot damage modifiers.
• Added Moonvein Recharge, matching Frostbrand's charge style: hits build up to 5 stacks, increase all damage, and trigger guaranteed Chain Lightning at full stacks.
• Added Spirit Wolf on Block + Mouse3: summons wolf_spiritcaller, scales health/damage with Moonvein, obeys the pet command panel, and applies death cooldown when killed.
• Added Spirit Wolf support to pet command/enemy relationship handling.
• Rebalanced Moonvein charged-shot projectiles:
  • Acid Bolt base damage 20 -> 40.
  • Lightning Bolt base damage 28 -> 48.
  • Fireball base damage 38 -> 58.
• Rebalanced Moonvein active skills:
  • Meteor eitr cost 45 -> 30.
  • Tornado Shot eitr cost 35 -> 20.
  • Spirit Wolf eitr cost 35 -> 20.
  • Meteor base damage 70 -> 35.
  • Tornado fallback tick damage 1 + 0.39/level -> 18 + 0.75/level.
• Moonvein passive and Spirit Wolf buffs now keep fixed icons while active instead of being refreshed continuously.

Nott

• Added permanent passive Executor: all Nott damage against enemies already at or below 30% health deals 300% total damage.
• Added Knife Strike: requires a knife, has 8s cooldown, uses secondary attack input, plays a Norse slash visual, deals 50% weapon damage plus Nott scaling, and slows the target by 50% for 5s.
• Added Warp Guard: after a successful Warp, Nott takes 90% less incoming damage for 3s.
• Added generated icons for Executor, Knife Strike and Warp Guard.
• Made Executor and Poison Edge permanent non-flashing buffs.
• Improved Executor handling so threshold damage is evaluated only from the target's current health state.
• Shadow Momentum now also grants +15% outgoing damage while active.

Helveig

• Changed summon cooldown flow so the monster summon cooldown starts when the summon ends, dies or is dismissed, instead of immediately on cast.
• Fixed Summon Monster and Undead Bodyguard buff refresh so their icons stay fixed instead of blinking; Undead Bodyguard also no longer shows a spurious stack number.
• Increased Holy Strike base damage by +30 fire and +30 spirit, and made each impact restore 2 eitr to the caster.

Ragnar

• Fixed the Magic Ragnar set bonus effect id from Lifesteal to EpicLoot's valid LifeSteal, so the set can load/display its 3-piece bonus correctly.

Balance And UX

• Updated the in-game compendium/readme data for Moonvein/Frostbrand values and newly added passives/skills.
• Cooldown and passive buff presentation now favors stable icons with duration removal rather than repeated icon refresh.
• Rebuilt the repo DLL and copied the matching DLL to the active Thunderstore profile for testing.
