📋 About This Mod
4/10 Update - Randyknapp added loot tables for mobs up to level 6 in his basic mod. I am no longer going to work on updating this mod as I feel his mod has taken care of this issue!
RandyKnapp created the Epic loot mod which is amazing addition toe the game, but with all this power creep it needs added difficulty! Thats where Tykea (smoothbrain) comes in... He created a custom creature loot level mod.
Now I have modified a config and loot table so these two amazing mods can synergize!
Loot Philsophy:
Monster levels 1 and 2 have a low chance to drop enchanting materials, and even lower chance to drop equipment.
Level 3 and 4 have a higher chance to drop material and items
level 5 you are guaranteed something magical..
level 6 -8 one item, very rarely two. better magic odds
Level 9 Legendaries are possible....
Installation:
There are two files in this package. One is a config file for creature level loot that needs to be in your "BepInEx\Config" folder, and the other is loottable.json file that needs to be in your BepInEx\plugins\RandyKnapp-EpicLoot\ folder.

Praise RandyKnapp and Tykea!
Also thank you Horem for laying the ground work
Example loot Table:
This breaks down as follows. A level one troll, when killed has a 30% chance to generate a loot drop. The game will roll the dice based on the total weight in the array (so 1-15 rolls an ingredient, 16 rolls a trollarmor. The troll armor if rolled, has a 99% chance to be a basic magic item, and a 1% to be a rare (and 0% epic, 0% legendary)

An outdated challenge mode config for Epic Loot and Creature Loot Level, raising world difficulty and setting loot tables for mobs up to level 8. Author explicitly states it's no longer supported. For players who want a harder Valheim experience with those mods.
✨ Key Features
