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.

Requirements

• BepInExPack Valheim (5.4.2202)
• SkillInjector (1.1.1)

Install via a mod manager (r2modman/Thunderstore Mod Manager) or drop the DLL from plugins/ into <Valheim>\BepInEx\plugins\.

Changelog

1.2.7 — New Norse emblem icon

• Replaced the old red-heart package icon with a new viking/nordic vitality emblem (bronze valknut inside a Norse knotwork ring, teal patina accents, faint green-gold life-energy glow) rendered at the required 256×256.
• No gameplay changes in this release — icon/asset update only.

1.2.6 — VitalityRewrite Deep North (new identity)

• Rebranded & re-identified as a distinct package under a new plugin identifier (ronkisbonkis.vitalityrewrite.deepnorth), so it installs alongside the old Gra-tak package without BepInEx GUID conflicts.
• Deep North (Valheim 1.0.x) compatibility fix carried over and retained. Valheim Deep North removed the old 12-arg Terminal.ConsoleCommand constructor used to register the vitalityrewrite console command. This caused a MissingMethodException at startup (during Console.Awake), repeated "See text" UI spam, and a lockup at the main menu. The command is now registered via the current 13-arg Terminal.ConsoleCommand(ConsoleEvent) overload.
• Rebuilt from source against the real Deep North publicized assembly.

1.2.5 — internal Deep North fix (source history)

The one-line Terminal.ConsoleCommand fix was prepared here; folded into the 1.2.6 public release.
