⚔️ EpicLootAdjustments

Customize Epic Loot for progression in Valheim.

EpicLootAdjustments is a BepInEx plugin that balances loot progression, reduces heavy legendary set ability effects, and cleans up the Epic Loot interface.

✨ Features

🛡️ Zone-Based Loot Progression

Prevents creatures from dropping gear that exceeds the material tier of their home biome.

• Supports vanilla drops and Epic Loot magic item rolls.
• Replaces over-tier weapons, armor, shields, tools, and ammunition with the highest-tier equivalent allowed for the creature's biome.
• Checks food and trophies against biome progression.
• Supports optional exceptions from Drop That configuration files, allowing specific creature/item combinations to bypass the zone restrictions.
• Leaves materials such as ore and hides unaffected by gear-slot replacement logic.
• Keeps fish unzoned so they can still drop in the Meadows.

Biome progression: Meadows → Black Forest → Swamp → Mountain/Ocean → Plains → Mistlands → Ashlands → Deep North.

🔊 Legendary Set Ability Effects

Reduce the volume and visual intensity of legendary set abilities.

• Audio volume: Configurable, default 0.35.
• Visual effects: Optional smoke, particle, and visual reduction.
• Includes effects associated with Ragnar, Berserker, Bulwark, Undying, and related set abilities.
• Uses compatibility-safe optional hooks to accommodate Epic Loot API differences.
