Mod that enchants/imbues armor/weapons with magic/runic power
Does anybody know of a mod that does something like this? Preferably one where we can add magical particles/effects to our weapons/armor

Jewelcrafting is the most stable mod for this purpose and is still getting new content.

Epic Loot is less stable, edit*: has recently been updated after a long hiatus, is less balanced, but serves the same purpose.

I tried jewelcrafting but it just seems like a mega grindfest. I don't like how there's a 50% chance to destroy your item. It took me almost half a day to drag enough silver off the mountain to my base to craft frostner and silver battleaxe

It definitely can be. If you have a configuration manager mod installed, pressing F1 let's you adjust the chances of jewels breaking.

I never used jewelcrafting before and im pretty confused how it works.
I got the gem from Eiktyr and put a socket on a club, but clicking the socket button on the right side on the club does nothing?
I also cant open the jewelers bag? Seems the mod is broken for me
Theres also no forums where one can ask???
Any tips?
(To bad Vortex cant manage Valheim mods properly without constantly braking things, otherwise Nexus is so much better than Thunderstore)

Hovering your cursor over the item and pressing 'E' is the hotkey for interacting with Jewelcrafting items while in your inventory. That'll open your bag and show your weapon slots so you can put gems in them.
Can only have one Boss-Gem equipped at a time.

"e" is my default use key in the game - when pressing e in inventory it closes the inventory. Pressing e on the jewel bag (as the description says) changes the cursor into a gem but doesnt let me do anything

Jewelcrafting is in my eyes just a cheap copy of Epic Loot, and it will be continued currently there is a version for Mistlands but since the developer has a full-time job plus wife and 2 kids he just can not as he wants. For me personally, Jewelcrafting is junk and does not fit into the game with its colorful ore deposits.

You say jewel crafting doesn't fit into the game with it's colorful ore deposits when Epic Loot showers the screen with colorful beams of light and turns your character into an unstoppable god. I'm all for having opinions but let's be fair about them, haha. I recommended both and my comparison is fair.

EpicLoot, contrary to those who say it's not being updated, is not the case. Randy is actively updating his mods (with updates in the past 2 days).

https://github.com/RandyKnapp/ValheimMods

Also, it's never been "less stable", it's never been anything but flawless for us. If anyone has stability issues, it's one of their other lesser mods causing it. I certainly wouldn't mix it with EpicLoot since they're shooting to do similar things - that's just asking for trouble.

Is EpicLoot fixed yet? Dunno, haven't tested since initially when Mistlands dropped.

It's unlikely Jewelcraft will ever get much/any attention from me, but I commend the guy for working on it. "Cool" is different for everyone. EpicLoot fits my bill.

Epic Loot will be my choice again since Jewel Crafting doesnt have a forum where one can ask for help. So far it doesnt seem to work properly for me. Also never had issues with EL before, balancing might be a problem though.
Some people also claim Valheim+ is abondend and not updated regularly - what a bs, 2 clicks away on Nexus theres 100% proof thats not true. Valheim plus is the best mod ever, replaces 20 single mods.

Someone is missinformed.
An epic loot update is in the works.
Also there is a Patch you can use that makes Epic loot work, it can be found on the discord for epic loot.

Edit: Where did you get the insane idear that, epic loot was not been updated?
Randy said he would update the mod/work on it when mistlands hit.

Now its here and hes working on it, and befor that he made a beta patch you could use for the PTS.

It hadn't been updated for months while Jewelcrafting was actively being updated. I edited my original post so it's accurate, but the rest still stands. As a mod, it caused desync in multiplayer and overpowers your character.

It overpowers your character you say, but nothing is stopping you from changing that in the config, which is the same responds i get when people complain about JWC.

Also the whole "overpowers your character" now you sound like a puritan, people play how they want to play.

Why fix something that is not broken, life support didt stop people from using El at all.
Dont think i have had any desyncs yet with my friends.

JWC traits are so low and start out so, no bang for your buck, that i rather just not use any enchantment mod, if i had to use that or go vanilla.

But atleast Randy is very aktive atm.

I didn't tell people how to play. If you prefer it, play it, but Jewelcrafting is the more balanced option and is more likely to be updated more frequently.
