If you are looking to advance from iron armor, you will need to make a full set of wolf armor; doing so will also allow you to reap grand boons such as not freezing to death.
How to make Wolf Armor in Valheim
To make wolf armor, you will need to gather the following items to unlock all three wolf armor crafting recipes.
- Wolf Fangs:
- Wolf Pelts
- Silver ore
- Chain
Once you got the resources listed above, you will be able to craft wolf armor inside a forge with the following resources listed below.
How to make a Wolf Armor Chest in Valheim
Here is everything you will need to make a wolf armor chest; once crafted, it will provide you 20 armor and bonus protection from frost attacks.

How to make a Wolf Fur Cape in Valheim
If you want to make a wolf fur cape, you will need the following resources; once crafted, like with the armor pieces, it will provide bonus frost protection but not a lot of armor.

Once you craft the full wolf armor set, it will provide you a total of 41 armor and a bunch of frost protection on its own; however, there is no wolf helmet, so we recommend keeping your iron helmet to boost that armor level up.
You can also boost the total armor level of the wolf armor set by upgrading all three pieces inside a forge; here's everything you will need and more by armor piece and level.
