SkillScale

Control how fast each Valheim skill levels up, and how much skill you lose when you die.

What it does

Each skill has its own gain setting:

• 50 = 50% more XP
• -50 = 50% less XP
• 0 = normal
• -100 = no XP for that skill

Death penalty uses the same numbers.

On a dedicated server, settings can sync to players and the config can be locked.

Settings

F1 Configuration Manager, or:

BepInEx/config/com.ljindustries.valheim.skillscale.cfg

General

• Lock Configuration: only server admins can change settings (default on)

Skills

• Change the skill gain factor: master on/off (default on)
• Display notifications for skills gained: top-left XP messages (default on)
• Should running skill notifications be ignored: hide Run spam (default on)
• Skill Notification Text Size: default 14
• One gain setting per skill. Default 0
• Death Penalty Factor Multiplier: default 0

Changelog

1.1.1

• Skill rates are per player again, including on a friend's server. The host no longer locks or overwrites your dials. Old Lock Configuration lines in the .cfg do nothing.

1.1.0

• Employment presets: Giga Unemployed 0.75x, Unemployed 1x, Part-time 1.5x, Full-time 2.5x
• Real multipliers instead of percent-style numbers
• Global dial plus per-skill rates (per skill is final, not stacked, so 5x Farming means 5x)
• Picks up skills added by other mods
• Optional per-action XP toasts (throttled, Run skipped by default; toggle in the menu)
• Small in-game menu (default backslash \ / | key; ignored while chatting): presets, global, death loss, and per-skill dials
• Menu unlocks the mouse, dims the world, and closes if inventory / pause opens
• Plays nicer with other XP mods (applies last, multiplies only)
• Clients without the mod are not kicked from the server
