SocialSystem

Social System

Social System brings friends and parties to Valheim: see who is online, write messages, team up in a party with its own HUD, and keep track of each other on the map — all without leaving the game. Full controller support.

> Pairs with SkillsReworked. Friends and party members show their Level and Prestige, and nearby party members share kill XP. See Works with SkillsReworked.

Opening the windows

Press O for the social window (friends, status, messages) and P for the party window (members, invitations, ready check). Both keys can be changed in the config.

With a controller, hold the block button and press Y for the social window; LB/RB switch between the two windows. Inside, the stick moves the selection, A picks, X opens a friend's or member's menu and B goes back. The buttons that open the windows can be changed in the config.

How it works

• Friends – add friends by character name and see who is online, their status, Level and biome.
• Status – Online, Away (automatic when idle) or Invisible.
• Direct messages – write to friends in the social window or in chat.
• Parties – invite, kick and promote; if the leader leaves, someone else takes over.
• Rejoin – lose connection and your party spot is kept for a few minutes.
• Party HUD – avatars, names, Levels and health bars of your party on the left side of the screen.
• Party chat & ready checks – coordinate before the next fight.
• Map – party members are always visible on the map and highlighted in the party color.
• Invite filter – choose who may invite you: everyone, friends or nobody.
• No interruptions in combat – invitations and ready checks wait until the fight is over.

Good to know
