VargheimProfessions

Professions for the Vargheim Valheim server (Ghost Pack community). Players need this mod to join. It only does anything on a server that also runs it.

What it does

• Professions: each character picks 3 of 11: Blacksmithing (armor), Weaponsmithing, Building, Cooking, Exploration, Farming, Mystic Crafting, Lumberjacking, Mining, Ranching, Sailing. Other skills still level, but stop at a cap (20; Sailing 10). Admins may hold every profession.
• Professions window: a Professions button on the inventory screen (or your own hotkey, or /professions). Shows your levels, every perk ladder, and lets you choose or drop a profession (one drop per week).
• Tier gates: vanilla items and pieces stay open to everyone. Items and build pieces added by other mods are crafted, upgraded or built only by the matching profession, at 25 / 35 / 45 / 55 / 65 / 75 by biome tier. Wearing, using and repairing stay open, so gear can be traded. vpgates in the console writes the full list.
• Weaponsmithing skill (new), and Jewelcrafting shown as Mystic Crafting.
• Recycle N Reclaim only works within 3,500 m of the world centre.
• Config lock: the server's values for mods without server sync (and for the profession mods) are used while you're connected.

The perks themselves are in the 11 profession mods (VargheimMining, VargheimSailing, ...).

Changelog

• 0.5.16: [World] VegetationDensity — extra world-generation density multipliers by prefab name (default shrimp:0.5 halves the RtD shrimp pots); the log lists what matched. Works with 0.5.15 servers/clients, but everyone should update so new land generates the same.

• 0.5.15: When a character goes through the Vargheim Gate (0.2.0+) its chosen professions and drop cooldown are cleared on the server. Server and clients must both be on 0.5.15.

• 0.5.14: Fertilizer (made by Ranchers) needed to plant modded crops; crops can only be planted in their seasons (Seasons mod, Grow Lamp ignores it); tamed creature stars capped by bosses defeated; skill experience slows at higher levels; food overrides for items without their own config. Server and clients must both be on 0.5.14.

• 0.5.13: [Magic] Overrides accept * patterns (e.g. Blighted*_Blight:0.75) and scale armor values for armor pieces. Server and clients must both be on 0.5.13.

• 0.5.12: [World] GemFormationDensity (default 0.25): fewer Jewelcrafting gemstone formations in newly generated areas, applied on every machine that generates terrain. Server and clients must both be on 0.5.12.

• 0.5.11: lighter creature check (cached per creature). Protocol stays 0.5.10.

• 0.5.10: [Creatures] Aggressive: creatures with no attack of their own (default RtDOcean crab) chase players within range and pinch (slash damage, +25% per star). Server and clients must both be on 0.5.10.

• 0.5.9: supply-chain amounts grow with the gear tier ([Synergy] ExtraPerTier, default +1 per tier: e.g. Tanned Hide 1 at Swamp up to 5 at Ashlands; Seasoned Timber 2 at Mountains up to 5). Server and clients must both be on 0.5.9.

• 0.5.8: supply chains re-apply after the server's settings arrive (can't be switched off locally) and survive Therzie recipe sync; intermediates only on gear of their own tier or higher (Flux/Hide/Produce from tier 35, Seasoned Timber from 45); Shipyard ships refund what was actually paid; non-teleportable gear can't be recycled; Weaponsmithing XP for upgrades; WAP season-key guard covers every key patch. Server and clients must both be on 0.5.8.

• 0.5.6: fix: when World Advancement Progression is installed, the season key is now set when the server starts (WAP threw an error and blocked it until the next in-game day). Server-side fix; 0.5.5 clients can still join.

• 0.5.5: fix: Tempering Flux, Seasoned Timber, Tanned Hide and Farm Produce count as known to everyone, so recipes that need them stay in the crafting list (Valheim hid them until the material had been held once). Server and clients must both be on 0.5.5.

• 0.5.4: Loot-only modded gear (BlightedWorldHeart) now needs Tempering Flux per upgrade level (setting [Synergy] FluxOnLootUpgrades); it still can't be crafted. Server and clients must both be on 0.5.4.

• 0.5.3: fix: supply-chain materials are only added to recipes that are craftable on their own; loot-only gear with upgrade-only recipes (BlightedWorldHeart) is left alone. New [Tier Gates] RemovedRecipes (default PotionLumberjack_TW, PotionMiner_TW, PotionOx_TW): switches those recipes off for everyone, since Wizardry 1.2.3 makes "Disabled" potions craftable without a station. Server and clients must both be on 0.5.3.

• 0.5.2: fix: the supply-chain pass now also runs when the item database loads (dedicated servers load it after the scene). Server and clients must both be on 0.5.2.

• 0.5.1: fix: supply-chain materials were not added to recipes (item lookup). Server and clients must both be on 0.5.1.

• 0.5.0: Synergy. Supply chains: upgrading modded weapons/armor needs Tempering Flux (Mining), modded bows/crossbows need Seasoned Timber (Lumberjacking), modded armor needs Tanned Hide (Ranching), modded dishes need Farm Produce (Farming) - settings in [Synergy]. Forge crew: smith + weaponsmith near each other pay 20% less material for modded gear. Shipyard: lumberjack + builder + sailor together pay 25% less for a ship. Who does what: the Professions window shows who holds each profession, gated recipes say who to ask, /prof who lists everyone, /prof need <profession> shouts and pings the map. Server and clients must both be on 0.5.0.

• 0.4.6: Weapon damage tuning for any weapon: [Magic] Overrides = Prefab:multiplier, ... (the magic multiplier stays the default for staffs). Original damage is kept, so changes apply live. New admin command vp_reload: re-reads every Vargheim config file on the server, re-applies damage tuning and resends the locked settings to every connected player; no restart. Compatible with 0.4.5 clients.

• 0.4.5: Simple Bait (Meadows: 5 Neck Tail + 4 Honey, hooks Perch) and Forest Bait (Black Forest: 5 Greydwarf Eye + 4 Thistle, hooks Pike), 20 per craft at a workbench. Magic weapon damage x0.8 (setting [Magic] DamageMultiplier). Server and clients must both be on 0.4.5.

• 0.4.4: Professions window keeps its background after a scene change (logout, death screen) and draws above the inventory. Client-only; works with a 0.4.3 server.

• 0.4.3: Gear made with ore, metal or other materials that cannot pass a portal can no longer be recycled (setting BlockNonTeleportable). Closes the portal-metal loophole.

• 0.4.2: Admins can choose all 11 professions (the window had stopped them at 6).

• 0.4.1: Wizardry table items (including scrolls) are Mystic Crafting; Professions window buttons fit their text; a single-player test mode for the admins (off by default).

• 0.4.0: Weaponsmithing, Mystic Crafting name, Foraging removed, admins unlimited, tier gates, Professions window, reclaim distance limit, API for the profession mods.

• 0.3.1: Skill detection works with skills added by other mods.

• 0.3.0: Config lock for mods without server sync.

• 0.2.0 and earlier: Professions.
