ImmersiveTrader

ImmersiveTrader turns trading into a full progression system for Valheim.

BETA: ImmersiveTrader works in multiplayer, but bugs and unexpected behaviour may still occur. Please report issues directly to p0kahotnaz on Discord.

Instead of relying on a single merchant, the world contains 14 regular traders — two in every biome from Meadows to Ashlands — plus the roaming Legendary Mieteg. Trade coins for useful resources, hunt creatures through contracts, transport physical cargo, build reputation, unlock new stock and use custom scrolls and navigation items.

The goal is to make coins, trading and exploration useful throughout an entire playthrough while reducing repetitive resource grinding without turning Valheim into a creative-mode item shop.

• Single-player, host/client and dedicated-server gameplay

Traders & progression

Biome	Traders
Meadows	Midka & Troldad
Black Forest	Grimvald & Rudy Warg
Swamp	Mokra Dzika & Encek
Mountains	Hrothgar & Ylva Frost
Plains	Bjarki Goldtooth & Ragnar Turnipson
Mistlands	Tyrron & Grelka
Ashlands	Spalony Zenek & Skjold Cinderborn

Later-biome traders are locked until your character has participated in defeating the previous biome boss. Progression is personal, so joining an advanced multiplayer world does not automatically unlock every trader. Legendary Mieteg is the exception: if you find him, you can trade with him.

Every trader has a distinct role, appearance, equipment, stock, contracts, cargo routes and reputation progression. Their locations use custom camps and buildings intended to feel like part of the world rather than simple shop markers.

Contracts

Every regular camp has a Contract Board. Press E to open a radial menu with that trader's five hunting contracts — 70 regular contracts in total.

Carry the physical contract while hunting. Completing a regular contract grants reputation and +2 levels to its associated Valheim skill. In multiplayer, nearby players with matching active contracts can progress their own contracts from the same kill.

Cargo & Lox Caravans

Every regular trader also has a Lox Caravan. The Lox is a functional caravan, not a normal tameable creature: interacting with it opens a radial cargo menu.

Each trader offers 5 shipments, for 70 cargo routes in total. Cargo costs 10 coins, is heavy and cannot pass through portals. You must physically move it to the destination trader to receive the reward and reputation.

Contracts and cargo are personal in multiplayer and are protected from other players taking over your active task.

Reputation

Each regular trader has an independent five-level relationship:

Level	Reputation	Main unlocks
L1	0	Basic stock
L2	12	New stock + biome upgrade idol
L3	28	New stock + Reef-Crusted Shell
L4	44	New stock + Ward Scroll + Deep Sea Shell
L5 — Trusted	64	High-tier stock + Enhancement Scroll + Pearl-Bearing Shell + one-time Trusted reward

Reputation comes mainly from contracts and cargo deliveries. Each trader has their own Trusted reward, giving a reason to build relationships with more than one NPC.

Scrolls & navigation

ImmersiveTrader adds 17 Enhancement Scrolls for temporary bonuses such as elemental damage, health, stamina, Eitr, carry weight, mining, woodcutting, tools, running, jumping and bow use. Using the same Enhancement Scroll again refreshes its duration rather than stacking it.

There are also 9 Ward Scrolls providing temporary protection against Slash, Pierce, Blunt, Fire, Frost, Lightning, Poison, Spirit or Fall damage.

Three reputation-locked shells help track something unusual in the world:

• Reef-Crusted Shell — direction
• Deep Sea Shell — direction + biome
• Pearl-Bearing Shell — direction + biome + approximate distance

Legendary Mieteg

Legendary Mieteg has no permanent home. He rotates between 16 possible locations, remaining at one for roughly 2 Valheim days before moving again.

Mieteg has no normal Board or Lox Caravan. His shop carries special content, including scrolls and 9 Legendary contracts. These contracts can involve multiple objectives and rare enemies, with treasure rewards worth far more than ordinary jobs.

Finding him is intentionally part of the experience.

Multiplayer

ImmersiveTrader supports single-player and multiplayer. Purchases, contracts, cargo, reputation, cooldowns and progression are designed around personal player state and server validation.

For multiplayer:

• Every player should use the same ImmersiveTrader version.
• Dedicated servers need ImmersiveTrader and its dependencies installed server-side.
• Clients/server should use matching camp, board and blueprint configuration files.

ImmersiveTrader started as a project for playing Valheim with friends and grew into a larger gameplay expansion. Development has been heavily AI-assisted in programming, debugging and prototyping.

ImmersiveTrader is built with Jötunn. Huge thanks to its developers and contributors.

Trader buildings and blueprints were created and freely shared by members of the Valheimians community. The original designs remain the work and property of their respective creators.

A sincere and generous thank you to the Valheimians builders who share their work for free. Without them, the trader settlements in ImmersiveTrader would not exist.
