2.3.6
Uniques & Slayer Overhaul Playtesting & Feedback Patch VI
This is a significant patch that adjusts World Generation. For best results you should make a new world, though it is not required.
Implemented over 90 Uniques. Weapons, Armor, and Tools designed to make the Enigma Experience more enjoyable. Uniques are an alternative to empowering to obtain the most powerful gear. It also dramatically increases the speed of single player world generation, thanks to ZeuS's LPA.
New World Generation
Vegetation tweaks
- There is now more flint
- There are more Birch Trees in meadows
- There are less blueberry and raspberry bushes
New Uniques
- There are over 90 Unique weapons and armor to seek out
- Uniques are the most powerful gear in Enigma, capable of challenging some of the Forsaken.
- Roughly equal in power to the strongest Empowered Gear
- There are currently 45 Unique Armors, 42 Unique Weapons, and 7 Unique Tools
- There are 4 methods to obtain Uniques. By slayer, by biome, by monster, and by crafting Dyrnwyn
Uniques from Slayer
- The most reliable way to aquire Uniques is completing Slayer Tasks from Konar
- Each Slayer Key you turn into the Slayer Chest has a 1 in 20 chance to reward a Unique
- Slayer Keys have a chance to drop from monsters while you are completing tasks
- Build a pile of 999 coins in front of Konar in her home to get started.
- You do not need to complete your task to purchase a new one.
Uniques from other methods
- While slayer is the reliable way to obtain Uniques, it is possible to aquire them in other ways
- Each biome has certain Uniques that killed monsters can drop.
- Each unique has a chance to drop from a specific monster.
- You can find Dyrnwyn pieces and turn them in as if they were slayer keys
- Alternatively you can craft full Dyrnwyns for better chances at uniques
Slayer Changes

- Added 5% chance on Slayer Key turn-in to get a Unique

- Players can turn in Dyrnwyn Fragments in lieu of Slayer Keys for the same rewards
- Players can turn in a completed Dyrnwyn for increased chance of getting a unique
Player Spawn Staircases
- Players can create full staircases on Enigma paths with
/say makestairs
- The staircase must be at least 200 meters from an existing staircase
- Old spiral stairs summoned with coin stack removed
Old tombstones become Forgotten Loot
- If a player does not loot their tombstone after an extended period of time it converts into a cargocrate
- This is done to incentivize other players to take the loot
- Otherwise many players will not loot from another players tombstone even if it was from months ago.
- Thanks DhakhaR for making the script!

Mastercrafted Items Rework
- I had to reduce the capacity of certain Mastercrafted items because Valheim has issues saving if the smelter or kiln has more than 100 items fields
- The true limit for any smelter ore object in Valheim is 90 or so. I have updated all of the Mastercrafted Units accordingly.
- You can restore any credits you lost by editing your ewp_data.yaml file (this is your enigma's local memory)
- Youll see the name of the credit you had before with a value of 0. Set it to 1 to grant yourself 1 credit.
- The next Mastercrafted Unit you build will use the corrected modern data.
- When possible I compensated for this by increasing the speed the Mastercrafted unit generates the resource
Dvergr Behavior Changes
- The Dvergr do not like it when you kill them.
- Do not be around dying Dvergr too much...
