LootDiscovery

LootDiscovery is a custom progression bridge between Therzie's Warfare, Wizardry and Armory and Epic Loot.

It was created primarily for use in a private Valheim modpack/server. Broader mod compatibility and future updates are not guaranteed.

How it works

Warfare & Wizardry

Equipment recipes from Warfare and Wizardry are initially hidden.

When a character discovers an eligible item by obtaining it, the corresponding original crafting recipe is permanently unlocked for that character.

This applies to supported equipment types including weapons, bows, shields, armor, capes, tools, utility items and trinkets.

LootDiscovery does not replace Therzie's recipes. Once unlocked, the item still uses its original crafting station, material costs, upgrades and other requirements.

Armory

Armory equipment uses set/tier discovery.

Discovering one armor piece unlocks the recipes for the other pieces belonging to that exact armor set and tier. Standalone and special Armory equipment uses exact-item discovery.

Character progression

Discovery is stored using Valheim's existing per-character known-item progression. Previously discovered equipment therefore remains unlocked for that character after restarting the game.

Audio normalization

Version 0.4.0 adds optional audio handling for the MMO-related mods used by the intended modpack.

EpicMMO

LootDiscovery scans EpicMMO audio-bearing assets and scales their AudioSource volumes without changing Valheim's global audio settings.

EpicMMO's wing-based level-up visuals and associated level-up audio are suppressed. XP-orb consumption keeps the MMO_XP status effect and XP behavior, but no longer triggers the Forsaken-style fx_GP_Activation effect.

Default multiplier: 0.50.

CaptainSkillTree

LootDiscovery normalizes supported CaptainSkillTree SFX/VFX audio paths and provides a separate multiplier for quest-complete music. CaptainSkillTree's Hero Awakens level-up sound is replaced with the bundled LockChime.wav.

Defaults:

• General CaptainSkillTree audio: 0.30
• Quest-complete music: 0.25
• Hero Awakens replacement: 0.80

EpicMMO and CaptainSkillTree are optional integrations. If either mod is absent, its audio hooks are skipped and LootDiscovery continues to function normally.

The generated BepInEx config contains:

[Audio - EpicMMO]
Enabled = true
VolumeMultiplier = 0.50

[Audio - CaptainSkillTree]
Enabled = true
VolumeMultiplier = 0.30

[Audio - CaptainSkillTree Quest Complete]
Enabled = true
VolumeMultiplier = 0.25

A multiplier of 1.0 leaves the original volume unchanged. 0.0 mutes the affected audio path.

Epic Loot patches

This package also installs two custom Epic Loot configuration patches used by the modpack.

Enchanting Economy

DesertOnline_EnchantingEconomy.json

Adjusts trophy-based enchanting material rewards, including regular enemy trophies producing 2 Shards of the assigned rarity and boss trophies producing 3 Runestones of the assigned rarity.

Loot Progression

DesertOnline_LootProgression.json

Contains targeted Epic Loot loot-table corrections, including moving the Mistlands Spell Slinger chest armor from Tier 5 armor to Tier 6 armor and removing Dverger Arbalest projectile entries from Tier 6 weapon loot.

Notes

This mod was designed around a specific private modpack and progression setup. Compatibility with different versions, substantially different mod configurations, or future versions of its dependencies is not guaranteed.
