✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives you the Wishbone way earlier, so you can start hunting buried treasure from the start.
- Simple and lightweight—just a drop chance tweak, no bloat.
- Tiny mod, easy to understand and modify if you want to adjust the drop rate.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 5 endorsements—not many people have tried it, so you're on your own if issues pop up.
- Last updated in November 2024—might not be compatible with the latest Valheim patches.
- No documentation or install instructions provided by the author.
For Valheim players who want the Wishbone early to speed up treasure hunting without progressing to Bonemass. Also for modders who want a simple example of modifying boss loot tables. Skip if you prefer the vanilla progression or want a more polished, widely-tested mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple drop chance mod, you can easily tweak the 25% chance by editing the mod's config or source if you want a higher or lower drop rate.
- Make sure to back up your save before installing any mod, but especially if you're using it on an existing world—though this mod only affects Eikthyr's drops, so it's low risk.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or r2modman, just drop the file into your Valheim mod folder and enable it in your mod list.
