TalentPace
Optionally scales Talent Tree movement and damage, scales overall parry power, and can cap talent points by bosses killed.Talent Pace
Optionally scales Talent Tree movement and damage bonuses (off by default; when enabled, scale keys default to 0.5). Epic Loot, meads, food, seasons, and base weapon hits are not scaled.
Parry effect scale (default 0.35) shrinks extra parry power on timed blocks after other mods. A 2x parry becomes 1.35x; 3.5x becomes 1.875x. Regular blocking and the parry timing window are unchanged. Set to 1 to leave parry alone.
Boss-tier talent point caps are on by default. Turn them off in config if you do not want boss-gated active points.
Caps how many Talent Tree points actually apply, using the bosses that player has killed.
Points past the cap are handled two ways:
- Soft: outer nodes stop applying until the next boss raises the cap, then they come back.
- Auto trim (
Auto trim over-cap nodes, on by default): if the player has spent more points than the cap allows, the outer nodes are removed from the tree and saved that way, keeping the inner nodes. Points return when the cap rises.
If a config change leaves a player over the cap, the Talent Tree window shows a Free respec button (no coin cost, talent points are not reset). The button disappears once the tree is back under the cap.
| Personal boss key | Points that apply (default) |
|---|---|
| None | 20 |
| Eikthyr | 32 |
| The Elder | 48 |
| Bonemass | 58 |
| Moder | 72 |
| Yagluth | 88 |
| The Queen | 105 |
| The Fader | No cap (the last boss removes all limits by default) |
EVA Surtr shards (CJAYCRAFT only): this feature is off by default — the shard items exist only in the CJAYCRAFT modpack, which sets Enable Haldor EVA surtr rewards = true in its own config. Each Epic Valheim Additions boss drops one shard per player. Selling a shard to Haldor grants a once-per-character talent reward, and every shard always sells for coins:
| Shard (boss) | First sale per character | Coin price (every sale) |
|---|---|---|
Cjayride_EvaSurtr_Mist (Svartalfar Queen) |
+9 talent limit | 500 |
Cjayride_EvaSurtr_Ash (Hel Demon) |
+9 talent limit | 1000 |
Cjayride_EvaSurtr_Deep (Jotunn) |
+15 talent points | 5000 |
Repeat sales pay the coin price only; the talent reward is remembered per character.
The Talent Tree window shows the cap text left-aligned under the unspent-point counter, in the game's own Valheim-AveriaSansLibre font, with a black outline for readability:
Current Progress: Bonemass
To Unlock Points: Kill Moder
Points Earned by XP: 47
Points Spent: 53
Points Allowed: 58
Kill Moder to Raise Limit to 72 Points
If a player is over the limit, the text turns red and names the Free respec button below it.
Each line is its own text row placed by its own math, so the lines can never collapse into one mashed-together line (Valheim's Valheim-AveriaSansLibre is a fallback-style font asset that can report zero line height). The font is validated before use (glyphs + line height); if it ever fails that check, the text falls back to the Talent Tree window's own font and the log says so.
Install on the dedicated server and every client. Same config on both. Console: talentpace.
