SkillEXPBoost

SkillEXPBoost is a client-side Valheim BepInEx mod by Rollstuhltreter. It lets you adjust skill XP gain with separate multipliers for combat, normal, and farm/gathering skills. An optional top-left HUD message shows each local XP gain and the current progress toward the next level.

Features

• Enable or disable the mod at runtime.
• Separate XP multipliers for three skill categories.
• Optional top-left XP and level-progress message for every local XP gain.
• Client-side implementation with no server plugin, server config, or custom network messages.
• Unknown skill types are left unchanged.

Installation

Install the package with a Valheim Thunderstore-compatible mod manager, or copy plugins/SkillEXPBoost.dll to:

<Valheim>/BepInEx/plugins/

On the first load, BepInEx creates the configuration file:

<Valheim>/BepInEx/config/kann.valheim.skillmultiplier.cfg

The existing configuration GUID is kept so previous settings remain usable.

Configuration

[General]
Enable = true

[Multipliers]
CombatSkillsMultiplier = 2
NormalSkillsMultiplier = 2
FarmSkillsMultiplier = 2

[Display]
ShowSkillProgress = true

All values can be changed with BepInEx Configuration Manager while the game is running.

Skill categories

Combat: Swords, Knives, Clubs, Polearms, Spears, Blocking, Axes, Bows, Crossbows, Unarmed, ElementalMagic, and BloodMagic.

Normal: Jump, Sneak, Run, Swim, Dodge, Ride, Cooking, and Crafting.

Farm/gathering: Pickaxes, WoodCutting, Fishing, and Farming.

When ShowSkillProgress is enabled, the top-left message includes the skill, the XP gained, the current level, and the percentage toward the next level.

Multiplayer note

The plugin only changes skill gain for the local player and does not install anything on a server. Community-server rules still apply; do not use gameplay mods on servers where they are prohibited.
