LootDiscovery

LootDiscovery is a custom progression and compatibility bridge between Therzie's Warfare, Wizardry and Armory, Epic Loot, and several other mods used by the intended modpack.

It was created primarily for use in a private Valheim modpack/server. Broader mod compatibility and future updates are not guaranteed.

How it works

Warfare & Wizardry

Equipment recipes from Warfare and Wizardry are initially hidden.

When a character discovers an eligible item by obtaining it, the corresponding original crafting recipe is permanently unlocked for that character.

This applies to supported equipment types including weapons, bows, shields, armor, capes, tools, utility items and trinkets.

LootDiscovery does not replace Therzie's recipes. Once unlocked, the item still uses its original crafting station, material costs, upgrades and other requirements.

Armory

Armory equipment uses set/tier discovery.

Discovering one armor piece unlocks the recipes for the other pieces belonging to that exact armor set and tier. Standalone and special Armory equipment uses exact-item discovery.

Character progression

Discovery is stored using Valheim's existing per-character known-item progression. Previously discovered equipment therefore remains unlocked for that character after restarting the game.

Epic Loot integration

LootDiscovery includes several custom Epic Loot integrations used by the intended modpack.

ValheimPlus Craft From Chests

When ValheimPlus Craft From Chests is available, nearby chests can contribute resource costs to supported Epic Loot operations.

Supported material-cost paths include:

• enchanting;
• augmenting;
• identification;
• material conversions;
• Enchanting Table upgrades;
• supported runestone and socket-related crafting, upgrading and conversion costs.

The item being operated on remains a player-inventory item. Nearby chests are used only to provide applicable material costs and are not used as the source of selected equipment, runestones or other directly operated-on items.

Supported Epic Loot cost displays show resources as available/required.

For example: 24/2

LootDiscovery also caches nearby-chest resource queries to reduce the performance impact of Epic Loot interfaces that repeatedly evaluate large numbers of material recipes, particularly the material-conversion menu.

Adventure Backpacks

When Adventure Backpacks is installed, LootDiscovery adds the configured stored-item weight reduction to backpack item tooltips.

Example: Items inside weigh 50% less

The displayed percentage is read from the backpack's configured weight multiplier rather than being hardcoded.

Adventure Backpacks is optional. LootDiscovery continues to function normally when it is not installed.

Audio normalization

LootDiscovery includes optional audio and UI compatibility handling for several mods used by the intended modpack.

EpicMMO

LootDiscovery scans EpicMMO audio-bearing assets and scales their AudioSource volumes without changing Valheim's global audio settings.

EpicMMO's wing-based level-up visuals and associated level-up audio are suppressed.

XP-orb consumption preserves the MMO_XP status effect and XP behavior while:

• suppressing the Forsaken-style fx_GP_Activation effect;
• suppressing the original sfx_Potion_stamina_Start consume sound;
• replacing it with the bundled Bonus.wav.

Default multiplier: 0.50.

CaptainSkillTree

LootDiscovery normalizes supported CaptainSkillTree SFX/VFX audio paths.

CaptainSkillTree integrations include:

• quest-complete audio replaced by the bundled QuestComplete.wav;
• Hero Awakens level-up audio replaced by the bundled LockChime.wav;
• Woodcutting Worker bonuses displayed using Valheim's orange Bonus-style floating text;
• Gathering Worker bonuses displayed in green with a herb icon;
• Mining Worker bonuses displayed in cyan;
• Woodcutting, Gathering and Mining bonus notifications use Valheim's native Bonus rise/fade presentation;
• Worker bonus audio uses Valheim's vanilla bonus-yield effect;
• Crafting keeps CaptainSkillTree's existing visual presentation while replacing its bonus sound with the vanilla bonus-yield effect.

Defaults:

• General CaptainSkillTree audio: 0.30
• Quest-complete replacement: 0.30
• Hero Awakens replacement: 0.50

EquipmentAndQuickSlots

LootDiscovery includes a small UI compatibility patch for EquipmentAndQuickSlots. Multi-character quick-slot key labels such as 1S, 2S and 3S are prevented from wrapping vertically.

EpicMMO, CaptainSkillTree, EquipmentAndQuickSlots and Adventure Backpacks are optional integrations. If those mods are absent, their respective compatibility patches are simply not used.

The generated BepInEx config contains settings for:

• EpicMMO audio normalization;
• CaptainSkillTree general audio;
• CaptainSkillTree quest-complete replacement audio;
• CaptainSkillTree Hero Awakens replacement audio.

A multiplier of 1.0 leaves the original volume unchanged. 0.0 mutes the affected audio path.

Epic Loot configuration patches

This package also installs two custom Epic Loot configuration patches used by the modpack.

Enchanting Economy

DesertOnline_EnchantingEconomy.json

Adjusts trophy-based enchanting material rewards, including regular enemy trophies producing 2 Shards of the assigned rarity and boss trophies producing 3 Runestones of the assigned rarity.

Loot Progression

DesertOnline_LootProgression.json

Contains targeted Epic Loot loot-table corrections, including moving the Mistlands Spell Slinger chest armor from Tier 5 armor to Tier 6 armor and removing Dverger Arbalest projectile entries from Tier 6 weapon loot.

Requirements

Required for the core LootDiscovery progression behavior:

• BepInExPack Valheim
• Jotunn
• Epic Loot
• Warfare
• Wizardry
• Armory

Optional integrations:

• ValheimPlus
• EpicMMO
• CaptainSkillTree
• EquipmentAndQuickSlots
• Adventure Backpacks

ValheimPlus is only required for the nearby-chest portion of the Epic Loot integration.

For the intended multiplayer experience, use the same modpack and versions across participating installations.

Notes

This mod was designed around a specific private modpack and progression setup. Compatibility with different versions, substantially different mod configurations, or future versions of its dependencies is not guaranteed.
