MasterCrafting

A Valheim mod that adds an "Artisanship" skill that grants permanent, instance-specific stat bonuses to items crafted or upgraded by the player.

Features

• Artisanship Skill: A new craftable skill that levels up as you craft and upgrade items.
• Stat Bonuses: Items crafted by players with higher Artisanship skill receive permanent bonuses:
  • Weapons: Increased damage (+0.2% per level, max +20% at level 100)
  • Armor: Increased armor value (+0.15% per level, max +15% at level 100)
  • Shields: Increased block armor (+0.15% per level, max +15% at level 100)
  • Durability: Increased max durability (+0.3% per level, max +30% at level 100)
  • Efficiency: Reduced stamina/eitr usage (-0.2% per level, max -20% at level 100)
• Masterwork Proc: Chance to automatically increase item quality by +1 when crafting/upgrading
  • Base chance: 2%
  • Additional chance: 0.1% per Artisanship level
• XP System: Earn XP based on the crafting station used:
  • Workbench: 22 XP
  • Forge: 45 XP
