keep inventory

[Pvt. parts]

You mean on death?
Kinda.
You keep everything you have equipped, meaning if something breaks or you touch the water you can still be in trouble.
But anything else still gets dropped, so it's easier to retrieve your stuff but you still kinda need to do it.

The "casual" option makes combat very easy, so you still might be ok with it. I would give it a try.

yeah reduce the amount you get raided prob, and the penalty on death, and maybe combat difficulty and it should feel more casual theres even enemies wont attack you until you attack them but that prob too casual

Idk if its enough, but few patches back we got world modifiers that have a setting where you dont drop your gear, only loot.

[electricdawn]

Equipped gear that is. If you had gear on you (and who hasn't?) that wasn't equipped at time of death, you will still lose that gear.

BUT, after death you can just log out, set your world to hammer mode, and waltz back to the place of your death in total peace, as NO-ONE will attack you!

Once you've retrieved your stuff, you can turn your world back to a difficulty level of your liking.

For retrieving inventory it usually does the trick if you just craft both armor sets per biome. If you die, you can just put on the other one and get your things back. Maybe also a fallback weapon that you keep home for decoration as long as you don't have to use it.

The world modifier is an option. You keep your armor, the weapon or tool you had eqiupped... but food, mead and so on will be in your gravestone. So have some in stock at home.


I dislike that inventory loss system too. Wehenever I have a game that uses such a mechanic, I look for a way to turn that off. Usually. Valheim is the first game in which I actually try to embrace that and adapt to it. By e.g. having backup equipment at my base (at least the sets from the former biome).

And if all else fails... sneaking out to your gravestone, get your things and run away works much better than I expected.

I personally suck it up and retrieve my stuff the way it was intended: through being prepared.

1. I usually have a portal nearby. Placing a portal as soon as you hit land is a MUST.
2. Have enough food at home, so you can take a few hits.
3. BONUS: Although you can do naked corpse-runs, and they usually work just fine, sometimes it is best if you have some gear that you can use. It just makes things easier.

Once you get into Swamps and past them, you will always have the gear of your prior biome to fall back upon. Don't let it go to waste!

If you are having trouble recovering your corpse even with keeping your equipped gear you can always save your game, reload the map and change the custom settings to passive enemies, recover your gear, return to a safe spot, save, reload the game and change the settings back.

You can use console commands to enable god mode, which is practically the same thing. Your hp will still drop to 1 so you know you should have died.
