About MoreBettererUpgrades
From ThunderstoreAdds tiered biome materials to high-level item upgrades. Based on Desires original MoreUpgrades mod.
MoreBettererUpgrades
Originally created by Desires. Tiered progression, armor support, and Deep North compatibility added by SaltyCypher.
Lets you upgrade weapons, tools, and armor past the vanilla level cap - but instead of just scaling the same starting material forever, higher levels require materials from later biomes, matching the game's own natural progression. A Bronze Sword eventually needs Iron, then Silver, as you keep upgrading it.
Features
- Covers nearly every weapon, tool, and armor piece in the game, including
Deep North / Valheim 1.0 content
- Armor is split into Heavy, Light, Medium, Unique, and Cape weight-class
families, each with its own progression
- Every cost is pulled from the game's own recipes wherever possible,
trying to keep balance as you progress through biomes.
- Starter gear (Wood/Flint/Stone-tier) stays capped at vanilla's normal max
level, so it can't be leveled to max for essentially free.
Configuration
- Max item level - highest level covered items can reach (default 10)
- Forge/Workbench/Any table level lock - station level requirements
- Resource per level reduce - scales down per-level material costs
- Stats per level increase - stat growth multiplier per level
Installation
Install via r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager. Requires BepInEx for Valheim.
