SkillScale

Valheim assumes you have infinite free time. SkillScale assumes you might not. You pick how fast each skill levels up, and how much 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

• Updated the store description and README.

1.0.0
