Customize vanilla skills to your pace: leveling speed, skill effect strength, weapon damage scaling, and extra features like sneak backstab bonuses.
Vanilla Skills Modifier gives you simple config control over the normal Valheim skill system.
You can adjust:
The mod keeps the normal skill logic in place and lets you tune how strong or fast that logic becomes.
After launching the game once, edit:

The config sections are numbered with two digits so Thunderstore keeps them in the right order.

Example: if AllSkillsXpMultiplier is 1.5 and SwordsXpMultiplier is also 1.5, Swords XP gains become 2.25x.
Most multiplier settings include a recommended range of 0.1 to 10.
You can go higher, but very large values such as 20 or 50 may make the game heavier to process and can cause slowdowns or instability, especially when many effects stack together.
