How to play
- Build the Temple of Classes with the hammer (Misc category): 20 Stone, 10 Fine Wood, 3 Surtling Cores. A shrine with Odin's statue, stone pillars and ever-burning braziers.
- Interact with the temple (
E) and choose your way. - Gain XP by killing monsters (tougher monsters give more; bosses give triple) or by offering at the temple: trophies +50 XP, boss trophies +500 XP, 10 coins +20 XP.
- Cast abilities with Shift+1 … Shift+8 (configurable in the BepInEx config). A Valheim-style ability bar at the bottom shows icons, hotkeys, cooldowns and unlock levels.
- Ability damage scales with your class level. You can abandon your way at the temple (resets progress).
Class and XP are stored in your character save.
Configuration
BepInEx/config/gianl.classidivalheim.cfg: hotkeys, XP multiplier, and a debug key (default F9) that temporarily unlocks all abilities for testing.
Notes
- Designed for single player.
- Piece name is localized in English and Italian.

CHANGELOG
Changelog
1.2.0 — The Einherjar Update
- New class: ⚡ Einherjar, chosen of Valhalla — 8 abilities: Spear of the Gods, Sky Dive, Battle Blessing, Judgement, Spear Volley, Aegis of Valhalla, Call the Fallen and Ragnarök. Radiant spears leave a bright golden trail; the Aegis wraps you in a visible protective bubble.
- Einherjar passive: lightning/spirit damage grows with level, cheaper jumps, fall damage fades away (none at level 80).
- 24 new talents and 2 new synergies (Stormlord, Spearmaster) with a golden capstone aura.
- Class selection at the temple redesigned to fit four ways.
- The ability bar is now movable: drag it with the mouse while your inventory is open (or set the offsets in the config). Fixes the bar covering the stamina bar on ultrawide (21:9) screens — thanks for the reports!
- Fixed summons exceeding their cap after a relog (returning minions are now always recognized as yours).
1.1.1
- Fixed: Glass Cannon and Archmage boosted every damage type in the game (blunt/slash/pierce included). They now boost spell damage only (fire, frost, lightning, poison, spirit); Warlord likewise now boosts physical damage only. Thanks to our beta testers for the sharp eyes!
- The talent panel now shows active synergies on their own line, with their bonuses spelled out — no more guessing where that extra 10% comes from.
- The aggregated stats line no longer gets cut off at the panel border.
1.1.0 — The Talent Update
- Talent trees: every 10 levels choose 1 of 3 passive talents — 8 tiers, 24 talents per class, 72 total. Open the panel with hotkey
Tor at the temple. - Synergies: learn 3 colour-coded talents of the same theme to unlock a set bonus (6 to discover: Flamelord, Frostborn, Bloodrage, Colossus, Plaguelord, Lord of Bones).
- Capstone auras: level-80 talents grant a permanent visual aura (orbiting wisp / sacred flames / spectral mist).
- Living tooltips: ability descriptions and the ability bar now reflect your talents and synergies; the talent panel shows aggregated bonuses.
- Respec at the temple for 100 coins. Talent point notifications on level up and on the ability bar.
- The debug key (F9) is no longer present in official releases — it now lives only in beta builds.
1.0.4
- Fixed: temple braziers were sunk below the platform (fire particles poking through the floor). Parts now rest exactly on the platform surface — thanks for the report!
- Rune Shield is now clearly visible from inside AND outside: a translucent dome marks the protected area.
- Summon fixes: skeletons and Army of the Dead use separate pools, survive relogs correctly, and crumble when you change class.
- Fixed Ice Shards locking the character in the casting pose.
1.0.3
- The Discord server is now mentioned in the mod description and at the top of this page (the "Website" button also leads there). Come say hi: https://discord.gg/QwthPaNAME
1.0.2
- Fixed: the Temple of Classes could not be placed (always red / "invalid placement"). The decorative parts of the temple (floors, pillars, braziers, statue) carried leftover colliders that made the placement check fail everywhere. Decorations are now collider-free and the temple places normally. Thanks to the Discord community for the report!
1.0.1
- Added the official Discord server link (news, bug reports, suggestions): https://discord.gg/QwthPaNAME
1.0.0
- First release.
- Three classes: Mage, Berserker, Necromancer.
- Buildable Temple of Classes (class selection, offerings for XP).
- 8 abilities per class, unlocked every 10 levels up to level 80, damage scaling with level.
- Class XP from kills (bosses give triple) and temple offerings.
- Valheim-style ability bar with icons, hotkeys (Shift+1..8, configurable) and cooldowns.
- Class passives that grow with level.
- Debug key (F9) to temporarily unlock all abilities.
