Better Stamina

This mod rebalances the stamina system to make it a little bit more forgiving and improve the combat flow while keeping to the original survival feeling. Skills will now reduce corresponding stamina costs.

Installation (manual)

• You'll need to download BepInEx for Valheim if this your first Valheim mod.
• Place the dll file for this mod in Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/ folder.

General

• Increased default stamina regeneration rate slightly.
• Being encumbered will not drain stamina, slow walking speed is bad enough.
• Removed stamina cost for building & repairing.
• Removed stamina cost for using a cultivator.
• Removed stamina cost for using a hoe.

Skills

• In addition to current benefits, all skills will now reduce the stamina cost for their corresponding activities.

• The benefits will increase faster at the early and mid skill levels. Skill factor now uses sin out ease function instead of linear interpolation.

  • Added 33% stamina cost reduction at max level for dodging.
  • Added 33% stamina cost reduction at max level for jumping.

• Bows

• Weapons

  • Weapon skills already reduce stamina cost for weapon attacks in vanilla game by 33% at max level, so this mod only changes the benefit increase rate.

• Swimming

  • Swimming skill already reduces stamina cost for swimming in vanilla game by roughly 60% at max level, so this mod only changes the benefit increase rate.
