Moreover, Rusty's Almanac goes beyond mere documentation. With an integrated customizable achievement system and a leaderboard, users can shape their own unique experiences.

Below are the available Achievement Types you can use:


`Arrows`	`ArrowsShot`	`Axes`	`Bows`
`Consumables`	`CreatureGroup`	`CreatureTamed`	`Deaths`
`DistanceInAir`	`DistanceRan`	`DistanceSailed`	`DistanceWalked`
`EnemyKills`	`Fish`	`FoodEaten`	`ItemsPicked`
`Kill`	`Knives`	`Maces`	`Materials`
`MineHits`	`Pickable`	`PlayerKills`	`PoleArms`
`Potions`	`Recipes`	`Shields`	`Spears`
`Staves`	`Swords`	`TimeInBase`	`TimeOutOfBase`
`TotalJumps`	`TotalMined`	`Trophies`	`Valuables`
`Weapons`	`CollectItems`	`Achievements`

Achievement File Structure

Each achievement is defined as a YAML file with properties like:

UniqueID: A unique identifier string (e.g., Weapons.001).
Name: Display name for the achievement.
Lore: A short description or flavor text.
Icon: The icon name from the game's assets.
TokenReward: Reward tokens for completing the achievement.
Requirement: The type, threshold, and optional group or prefab name.

Examples

Defeating creatures from a biome: AchievementType.CreatureGroup with Group = Meadows.
Reaching a milestone (kills, distance, etc.): set Requirement.Type to the relevant stat.
Collecting all of an item type (fish, weapons, trophies, etc.): use collection-based types.

Tips

Files can be added, changed, or deleted while the server is running.
Server automatically syncs achievements to clients.
Thresholds can be left at 0 for auto-detection (e.g., total number of fish).
PrefabName is required for Kill and Pickable types.
CollectItems type Requirement.PrefabName entry format: prefabname,amount;prefabname,amount

Almanac Bounties

The Almanac Bounty system lets players purchase bounty contracts to hunt special creatures.

Bounties are defined in .yml files inside the Bounties folder. Admins can add, remove, or edit bounty entries at runtime — changes will sync to all clients.

Each bounty entry can define:

UniqueID: Unique identifier for the bounty (e.g., Troll.001).
Creature: The prefab name of the target creature (e.g., Troll, Serpent).
Name: (Optional) Custom name override; if empty, a generated name will be used.
Icon: Trophy sprite or icon for the bounty.
Biome: The biome where the bounty will spawn (Meadows, Swamp, AshLands, etc.).
Health: Override maximum health value of the bounty.

AlmanacTokenReward: Tokens given upon completing the bounty.
Lore: A short description displayed in the Almanac panel.

Notes

Costs can be AlmanacToken or regular items (e.g., Coins).
Bounties require players to kill the target directly — indirect deaths won’t count.
If the bounty despawns, escapes, or is killed by another player, the cost is returned.
Bounties are subject to a configurable cooldown (default in minutes).

Tips

You can reload or edit .yml bounty files while the server is running; changes sync automatically.
Each bounty spawns a pin on the map when accepted.
Default bounties include Boar, Neck, Troll, Serpent, Abomination, Wraith, Lox, Seeker Brute, Fallen Valkyrie.
Use Lore to tell a short story or flavor text for each hunt.

The Almanac panel will refresh when the store tab is selected.

Tips

You can create, delete, or edit files while in-game to preview tooltips live.
Almanac also includes a built-in creation tool for admins.
Only the host can add status effects, everyone else gets the data from the host
If you are admin, you can use the creation tool to define your status effect file, then upload the file to your server.

Quest System

The Almanac Quest System allows players to take on custom quests that track progress across various activities in Valheim.
Quests are defined in .yml files inside the Quests folder, and sync between server and client. Changes are dynamically reloaded when files are added, edited, or removed.

Quest system is designed to work along with dialogue system, use the command: StartQuest, CancelQuest, CompleteQuest to interact with the quests.

Notes

Quests can only be started if player has never started said quest
Quests can only be cancelled if quest is active
Quests remain active after completion (that is to keep record of completion), meaning when using dialogue requirements: Quests or NotQuests it is checking if quest has ever been taken.
Quests can only be completed if progress has met threshold
All these behaviors are reflected in the dialogue system. If those conditions are not met, the interactable button, will not be displayed as an option.

Core Properties

Each quest file can define:

UniqueID: A unique identifier string (e.g., 001.Dandelion).
Name: Display name for the quest.
Type: The quest type (see list below).
PrefabName: Target prefab for the quest (e.g., Boar, Pickable_Dandelion, SurtlingCore).
PrefabNames (optional): A list of prefabs for collection or learning quests.
Threshold: Amount required to complete the quest.

Quest Types


`Collect`	`Farm`	`Harvest`	`Kill`
`LearnItems`	`Mine`

Example Quest

UniqueID: 001.BoarHunt
Name: Hunt Boars
Type: Kill
PrefabName: Boar
Threshold: 10

This quest requires players to hunt 10 Boars. Progress is tracked automatically when players kill the target prefab.

Notes

Quests can be started, canceled, or completed dynamically in-game.
Progress is saved to the player profile and restored on reconnect.
Quests are synchronized from server to client.
Multiple quests can be active at once.
UI will display quests-in-progress, can be hidden using configured hotkey
Quest history can be viewed in the metrics tab

Tips

Use Collect for item-based quests (e.g., SurtlingCore).
Use Harvest for pickable quests like dandelions or mushrooms (e.g., Pickable_Dandelion).
Use Farm for planted crops (e.g., sapling_seedcarrot).
Use LearnItems to create discovery quests where players must learn recipes from multiple items.
Thresholds define how much progress is needed (kills, items, harvests, etc.).
