EpicLootRaritySets

EpicLootRaritySets

Turns EpicLoot into a stable equipment-based class progression system for Valheim. Since version 1.0.0, the mod is considered stable and ready for a full playthrough experience.

This mod adds custom rarity sets, boss-stage drops, special pieces, set bonuses and active abilities unlocked by completing sets. The idea is not just to find stronger items, but to build a full character around a recognizable equipment class.

If you like EpicLoot but want clearer farming goals, recognizable builds and new abilities when you complete a full set, this mod is built for that.

I am leaving my Ko-fi here in case you want to leave a tip and help me keep growing. Thank you very much for the support: https://ko-fi.com/daraodesigns

Thanks to Alpus, Radamanto and RandyKnapp for their mods, which this project builds on or uses to improve Valheim gameplay.

Dependencies

Required:

• RandyKnapp-EpicLoot
• Alpus-NorseDemigods
• Radamanto-Bestiary

Optional:

• BetterArchery: integrates LeatherQuiver as an enchantable archer set piece from Epic onward.
• WolfPack: the mod can adjust its config so Hraesvelgr summoned beasts are trainable/controllable.
• WiresEnemyHUD: the mod can adjust its config to show current and maximum health above enemies.

Although NorseDemigods is listed as a dependency, you do not need to play a NorseDemigods class. This mod suppresses its UI, energy, class selection and input while using some of its effects as visual/mechanical bridges.

How It Works

The mod creates set archetypes. When you equip every non-weapon piece from the same line, a buff with the base set name is activated. The only piece that may be missing while still activating the class is the set weapon; any other missing piece prevents activation.

That buff acts as the class flag. If the class buff is active, you can use its abilities even if the set weapon is the missing piece. When an ability requires a weapon, it checks the real equipped weapon type, not whether it is exactly the set weapon.

Active class lines:

| Class | Set IDs that activate the class | | --- | --- | | Heimdall | MagicHeimdall, RareHeimdall, EpicHeimdall, Heimdall, MythicHeimdall, AncientHeimdall | | Ragnar | MagicRagnar, RareRagnar, EpicRagnar, Ragnar, MythicRagnar, AncientRagnar | | Hraesvelgr | MagicHraesvelgr, RareHraesvelgr, EpicHraesvelgr, Hraesvelgr, MythicHraesvelgr, AncientHraesvelgr | | Hellsyng | RareHellsyng, EpicHellsyng, Hellsyng, MythicHellsyng, AncientHellsyng | | Nott | MagicNott, RareNott, EpicNott, Nott, MythicNott, AncientNott | | Seidr | RareSeidr, EpicSeidr, Seidr, MythicSeidr, AncientSeidr | | Helveig | MagicHelveig, RareHelveig, EpicHelveig, Helveig, MythicHelveig, AncientHelveig | | Moonvein | MagicMoonvein, RareMoonvein, EpicMoonvein, Moonvein, MythicMoonvein, AncientMoonvein | | Frostbrand | MagicFrostbrand, RareFrostbrand, EpicFrostbrand, Frostbrand, MythicFrostbrand, AncientFrostbrand |

Full-set buffs show the class name and class skill level (Nivel/Level). Active ability cooldowns are not shown through the old buff bar; they appear in the ability panel with name, keybind and counter. Passives and temporary states use the buff area, while static charge passives for Moonvein, Frostbrand, Hraesvelgr and Ragnar Blood Surge also appear in the orb panel.

Shared Systems

• Ability Panel: appears when a class buff is active. It shows active abilities only, with name, keybind and cooldown. It can be dragged while the inventory is open with Tab. If active pets exist, it adds a Pets section with Attack (Ctrl + Mouse4), Follow (Ctrl + Mouse3) and Free (Ctrl + secondary attack); the current state is highlighted.
• Passive Panel: shows 2-orb plaques for static charge passives (Charged Shots, Fire Ball, Headshot, Blood Surge). When both orbs are filled, the whole plaque lights up with a pulsing border and READY label to show that the next shot/attack is charged. It can be dragged with Tab.
• Pressing Tab recenters passive/orb panels so displaced panels can be recovered more easily.
• Ctrl + Mouse4: orders active pets to attack the aimed enemy at practical long range as long as the target is visible under the crosshair. If the enemy dies or becomes invalid, pets return to following the player.
