Asksvin Tail in Valheim: Raw Stats, Cooked Recipe, and Every Use

 

    Asksvin tail is a Material-type food ingredient dropped by the Asksvin and the Asksvin Hatchling. In its raw state it can't be eaten — it has to be cooked at an Iron cooking station to become edible (or overcooked into Coal if left too long), though the raw tail is also a crafting ingredient in its own right, as the full list below shows. The wiki's own item description calls it deadpan: "Smells a bit smokey, even when raw." Here is every stat the source data records for both the raw and cooked forms, the drop numbers by star tier, and the full crafting list.

 

Raw Asksvin Tail: Item Stats

 

    Straight from the item's infobox, with nothing added:

 

• Item ID: AsksvinMeat
• Type: Material
• Description: "Smells a bit smokey, even when raw."
• Source: Asksvin, Asksvin Hatchling
• Used at: Food preparation table, Iron cooking station
• Weight: 1.0
• Stack size: 20
• Teleportable: Yes

 

    If you're carrying a full stack, the arithmetic is simple and worth stating plainly rather than eyeballing: 20 items × 1.0 weight each = 20.0 total weight for a maxed-out stack of raw tails. That's this item's own weight and stack fields multiplied together, nothing borrowed from any other food.

 

Cooking It: Cooked Asksvin Tail Stats

 

 

    The source's intro line is explicit about the process: "It can be cooked using an Iron cooking station over a lit Campfire to obtain a Cooked asksvin tail, or Coal if overcooked." The recipe itself uses 1x Asksvin tail per Cooked asksvin tail. Its own flavor text changes once cooked: "This meat has a potent and mature flavour, but is very tasty when grilled right."

 

    The cooked item's recorded stats:

 

• Item ID: CookedAsksvinMeat
• Type: Food
• Health: 70
• Stamina: 24
• Duration: 1200 (seconds, per the source field) — 1200 ÷ 60 = 20 minutes, shown as computed rather than just restated
• Healing: 6 hp/tick
• Weight: 1.0
• Stack size: 20
• Teleportable: Yes
• Used at: Crafting, Eating

 

    Note that the cooked tail's own teleport flag is Yes, same as the raw item — that's this item's own field, not a general claim about any other food.

 

Drop Rate by Asksvin Star Level

 

 

    The source's drop table gives exact tail counts per star tier for the Asksvin creature specifically:

 

• 0-star Asksvin: 2 tails
• 1-star Asksvin: 4 tails
• 2-star Asksvin: 8 tails

 

    The pattern is a clean doubling at each tier — 2, then 4, then 8 — which is what the table itself shows rather than an estimate. One gap worth flagging plainly: the source lists the Asksvin Hatchling as a second creature that drops the tail, but the drop table only breaks out counts for the full-grown Asksvin by star level. The Hatchling's own drop count is undocumented in this data, so no number is given for it here.

 

Everything You Can Craft With It

 

 

    Recipes that use the raw Asksvin tail:

 

• Cooked asksvin tail (at an Iron cooking station)
• Coal — but only "if left on an Iron cooking station for too long," per the source's own wording
• Fiery svinstew
• Mashed meat
• Uncooked piquant pie

 

    Recipes that use the cooked Asksvin tail:

 

• Ashlands gourmet bowl

 

    And the source is explicit about where that chain ends: "Cooked asksvin tail cannot be used to craft recipes using Asksvin tail as ingredient." In other words, cooking the tail closes off the raw-ingredient recipes above — the cooked version only feeds the Ashlands gourmet bowl, nothing else on this list.

 

Quick reference

• Raw tail: Material, weight 1.0, stack 20, teleportable.
• Cooked at an Iron cooking station over a lit Campfire — 1x raw tail per cooked tail.
• Cooked tail: 70 health, 24 stamina, 6 hp/tick healing, 1200-second (20-minute) duration.
• 0-star Asksvin drops 2 tails, 1-star drops 4, 2-star drops 8 — Hatchling drop count undocumented.
• Raw tail feeds five recipes; cooked tail only feeds one (Ashlands gourmet bowl) and can't loop back into the raw-ingredient list.
• Left too long on the cooking station, the raw tail turns to Coal instead.

 

Running your own Valheim server

 

    Tracking food math like this matters more once you're feeding a group instead of just yourself — a dedicated world keeps everyone's cooking stations, stacks and stored ingredients persistent around the clock instead of tied to whoever's hosting that night. A gamever Valheim server gives your group of up to 10 players a always-on world with one-click setup, so nobody has to leave their own game running just to keep the base's cooking stations online.

 

Conclusion

 

    Asksvin tail is a straightforward Material item — weight 1.0, stack 20, teleportable — that turns into a 70-health, 24-stamina Food item with 6 hp/tick healing over a 1200-second (20-minute) duration once run through an Iron cooking station over a lit Campfire. The drop table shows a clean 2/4/8 scaling across the Asksvin's 0-, 1- and 2-star tiers (the Hatchling's own count isn't broken out in the source). Raw, it feeds five separate recipes; cooked, it only feeds the Ashlands gourmet bowl and explicitly can't be used back in any raw-tail recipe.
