TrophyIdols

Trophy Idols

Turn the trophies you collect into Forge of Potential idols. No more hoping a chest drops the right tier - hunt the creatures of a biome and craft the idols for that biome's gear.

How it works

• Every tier has two recipes: a Battle Idol (weapons, tools, shields) and a Protection Idol (armor).
• Any one trophy from that tier's list works - the recipe consumes whichever one you have. No cluttered crafting menu with a recipe per trophy.
• The result is the plain vanilla idol, identical to one found in a chest, so it works with the Forge of Potential and stacks with found idols.
• Higher tiers need a better crafting station, so progression still matters.

Default tiers

| Idol tier | Trophies from | Station | Min. level | |---|---|---|---| | Bronze | Meadows, Black Forest | Forge | 1 | | Iron | Swamp | Forge | 2 | | Silver | Mountain | Forge | 3 | | Black Metal | Plains | Forge | 4 | | Black Marble | Mistlands | Black Forge | 1 | | Flametal | Ashlands | Black Forge | 3 | | Bloodgold | Deep North | Black Forge | 4 |

Boss trophies (including Elaking) are not included by default, but you can add them in the config (see below).

Multiplayer

• Install the mod on the server AND on every player. Players without it (or with a different major.minor version) will be refused on join.
• All settings are server-authoritative: whatever is in the server's config is applied to every player and updates live, no restart needed.
• Edit peachyyy.trophyidols.cfg in the server's BepInEx/config folder to change anything.

Configuration

Generated on first launch as peachyyy.trophyidols.cfg in BepInEx/config. Every tier has its own section:

• CraftingStation - prefab name of the station (forge, blackforge, piece_workbench, piece_artisanstation, ...)
• MinStationLevel - minimum level of that station
• Trophies - comma-separated trophy prefab names; any one of them can be used for that tier

And a global option:

• TrophiesPerIdol - how many trophies one idol costs (default 1)

Unknown trophy or station names are skipped and logged as warnings in LogOutput.log, so a typo will not break the game. You can check prefab names in-game with the console (spawn Trophy...).

Installation

Use a mod manager (r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager), or manually place TrophyIdols.dll in BepInEx/plugins.

Requires: BepInExPack for Valheim and Jotunn (installed automatically by mod managers).

Notes

• Some trophy names for newer biomes (Ashlands especially) may not match; check the log for "not found" warnings and adjust the config.
• If you find a bug, please report it with your LogOutput.log.
