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

Credits

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

What It Adds

• Rarity sets for Magic, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic and Ancient.
• Set-based classes: tank, berserker, archer, crossbow hunter, assassin, elemental mage, blood mage, magical archer and spellblade.
• Active and passive abilities unlocked by completing sets.
• Visible buffs for active sets, passives, temporary states and charges.
• Movable active ability panel with icon, name, keybind and cooldown.
• Movable static passive panel with plaques and 2 charge orbs for Moonvein, Frostbrand, Hraesvelgr and Ragnar Blood Surge.
• Set bonuses that grow by rarity and piece count.
• Natural EpicLoot drops for set pieces.
• Guaranteed boss-stage set drops when a valid roll happens.
• EpicLoot and NorseDemigods configs embedded in the DLL and synchronized at startup.
• New in-game compendium/text entry: Epic Loot Rarity Sets, with class descriptions, abilities, buffs and passives translated.
• Text, tooltips and compendium content in Spanish or English depending on the active game language.
• Global pet commands using Ctrl combinations.
• Optional BetterArchery integration for LeatherQuiver.
• Bestiary integration for RDB_* creatures in loot and bounty contracts.
• Optional WolfPack compatibility for controlling Hraesvelgr summons.
• Optional Wires Enemy HUD compatibility: forces HealthDisplay = Current HP/Max HP if the mod is installed.

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.
• Ctrl + Mouse3: forces active pets to follow the player in passive mode; they do not attack until Attack or Free is used again.
• Ctrl + secondary attack: releases pets back to normal behavior without forced following.
• Pet commands apply to persistent or controlled summons from Hraesvelgr, Moonvein, Helveig and Seidr, including the Stone Golem.
• Class pets use normalized mod stats: health, damage and damage taken reduction scale with the owner's class skill so they keep up with progression without relying on raw prefab values.
• Persistent pets disappear when the class buff is lost. If they die while active, they use a 30s respawn cooldown when their class allows it.
• Friendly explosions from T.N.T., Rapid Fire and equivalent effects avoid allied targets, friendly players and pets.
• Class damage and control abilities can interact with player targets only when PvP is active.
• Physical archer traps ignore players who do not have PvP active.
• Ability, summon and temporary-state buffs use the mod's generated icons when a specific or equivalent ability icon exists.
• The compendium, ability names, tooltips and buffs use Spanish or English according to Valheim's active language.

Natural Drop Chances

Normal EpicLoot magic rolls can be converted into set pieces:

• Magic: 12%
• Rare: 10%
• Epic: 8%
• Ancient: 5%

Legendary and Mythic are handled through generated EpicLoot sections and their own pools.

bosssetdrops.json fixes each boss stage to a set rarity and converts valid equipment rolls into random set pieces from that stage. It does not inherit a random rarity from the base roll: each boss uses its assigned rarity, checks that the base prefab belongs to the allowed pool (ForceSetDropItems) and then randomly selects from the real set item IDs of that same rarity (ForceSetItemIds).

Boss	Set rarity
Eikthyr	Magic
The Elder	Rare
Bonemass	Epic
Moder	Legendary
Yagluth	Mythic
The Queen	Mythic
Fader	Ancient
FrozenKing	Ancient

Managed Configs

With Generate Managed Config Files = true, the DLL writes/synchronizes:

• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/abilities.json
• config/EpicLoot/raritysets.json
• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/legendaries.json
• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/loottables.json
• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/iteminfo.json
• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/magiceffects.json
• config/EpicLoot/baseconfig/adventuredata.json
• config/EpicLoot/bosssetdrops.json
• config/NorseDemigods.cfg

If a file already exists and differs, the mod first creates a .bak-fran-managed-... backup and then writes the embedded version. This means manual JSON edits are not persistent unless the embedded resources in the main DLL are updated too.

For servers, it is usually enough to upload the DLLs included in the package and restart:

• EpicLootRaritySets.dll: main DLL with sets, embedded configs, compendium, classes, panels, icons and base controllers.
• EpicLootRaritySetsHotfix.dll: included layer for abilities and adjustments that may remain separated from the main DLL when the package includes it.

Custom EpicLoot Bonuses

• Last Hope: custom magic effect with its own ability. When health enters a critical state, it prevents the incoming hit if one exists, heals 100% of maximum health and starts a 60s cooldown.
• Custom class effects such as AddFrostbrandSkill, AddHellsyngSkill, AddSeidrSkill, etc. increase the effective class skill level and can push scaling beyond level 100.
• Effects used in lower-rarity sets also have ValuesPerRarity configured to avoid empty bonuses, such as FrostDamageAOE and Bulwark.
• In Ragnar/Frostbrand sets, each FrostDamageAOE bonus is paired in the same counter with AddFrostDamage, because EpicLoot only triggers the frost area if the weapon hit already contains frost damage.

In-Game Compendium

The mod adds an entry to the inventory text/compendium panel:

Epic Loot Rarity Sets

It includes:

• Explanation of the rarity system.
• Description of every set class.
• Abilities, keybinds, costs, cooldowns, ranges, scaling, durations and damage.
• Values read from the current config when the panel is opened.
• Active-effect sections with buffs, charges, cooldowns, passives and temporary states.
• Ability, buff and passive names localized to the active language, just like in-game text.
• The native EpicLoot Legendary Sets page is extended so it also compares Magic, Rare, Epic and Ancient alongside the special rarities.

Main Configuration

File:

config/fran.mods.epiclootraritysets.cfg

Important options:

• Generate Managed Config Files: writes the managed configs from the DLL.
• Enable Natural Drops: allows normal EpicLoot rolls to convert into set pieces.
• Enable Set Activation Buffs: shows full-set buffs.
• Enable Ability Panel: shows the movable active ability panel.
• Ability Panel Position X/Y, Scale, Opacity: ability panel position, scale and opacity.
• Enable Passive Stack Panel: shows the movable passive panel with orbs and charged state across the full plaque.
• Passive Stack Panel Position X/Y, Scale, Opacity: passive panel position, scale and opacity.
• Enable Frostbrand Abilities
• Enable Hraesvelgr Abilities
• Enable Hellsyng Abilities: enables T.N.T., Silver Bullets, Hellsyng Pets, Werewolf Form, Bat Form, Bat Horde and Rapid Fire.
• Enable Moonvein Abilities
• Enable Nott Abilities
• Enable Ragnar Abilities
• Enable Helveig Abilities
• Enable Heimdall Abilities
• Enable Seidr Abilities
• Read Extra Sections From Legendaries Json
• Read Rarity Sets Json
• Read Boss Set Drop Rules
• Configure WolfPack
• Configure Wires Enemy HUD

Each ability section lets you change keybinds, costs, cooldowns, radii, durations and scaling values. The README values are the expected defaults. If an older local config already exists, the mod tries to migrate old defaults to current values with UpgradeFloatConfig and UpgradeShortcutConfig.

If the package includes EpicLootRaritySetsHotfix.dll, that companion plugin may use config/fran.mods.epiclootraritysets.hotfix.cfg for settings that remain separate from the main DLL, such as bat form options, Blood Frenzy, Shadow Mark or Ragnar Crush.

Development

Embedded configs live in:

src/GeneratedConfig/

When you manually change JSON/CFG files and want those changes to ship inside the mod, update those files and rebuild the DLL. If Generate Managed Config Files remains enabled and the DLL embedded resources are outdated, the next startup will write the old version again.

Build:

tools/Build-EpicLootRaritySets.ps1

Verification:

tools/Verify-RecoveredRaritySets.ps1
