Wolf Jerky in Valheim: The Level 3 Cauldron Recipe for 33 Health and 33 Stamina
Wolf jerky is a Mountain-tier food cooked at a level 3 Cauldron from just two ingredients — 1 Wolf meat and 1 Honey — and a single batch produces 2 jerky at once. Each piece delivers 33 health and 33 stamina for 1800 seconds (30 minutes), healing at 3 hp/tick. It's light to carry, stacks deep, and — per the wiki's own infobox — travels through portals without restriction.
On sourcing. Iron Gate does not publish system documentation. The figures below come from the community wiki and can change with any patch.
What Wolf Jerky Is
| Type | Food |
| Made at | Cauldron (level 3) |
| Usage | Eating |
| Weight | 0.5 |
| Stack size | 20 |
| Portal-safe | Yes |
The in-game flavor text describes it as "Chewy and full of flavor." — a short line, but it fits a dried, portable meat snack rather than a hot bowl of stew.
The infobox's Usage field lists Eating only — not Crafting — meaning the source used here doesn't document any further recipe that consumes Wolf jerky as an ingredient, unlike some other Mountain-tier dishes.
A full stack barely registers on a hike. Twenty jerky at 0.5 weight each comes to 20 × 0.5 = 10 total weight for the maximum stack. And because it's flagged portal-safe, a batch travels through an ordinary portal along with the rest of a Mountain expedition's gear — unlike some raw meats, whose own portal restrictions aren't addressed by the source used here.
The Recipe
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Honey | 1 |
| Wolf meat | 1 |
The wiki states it plainly: "Two Wolf jerky are produced at a level 3 Cauldron with: Honey x1, Wolf meat x1." One Honey plus one Wolf meat, cooked together, yields two finished jerky per batch — not one.
That doubling matters for stocking a full stack. A stack caps at 20, and each batch only produces 2, so filling it takes 20 ÷ 2 = 10 batches — which means 10 Honey and 10 Wolf meat total, not 20 of each. Skipping that division is the easy way to over-buy ingredients before a Mountain trip.
Where to farm the Honey or Wolf meat that feed this recipe isn't covered by the source used here — worth checking a dedicated beehive or wolf-hunting guide before stocking a Cauldron.
Stats and What They Mean
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Health | 33 |
| Stamina | 33 |
| Duration | 1800 (seconds) |
| Healing | 3 hp/tick |
1800 seconds is 1800 / 60 = 30 minutes of buff uptime from a single piece — long enough to cover a full Mountain excursion without re-eating.
Health and stamina land on an identical 33 / 33 split, which makes Wolf jerky a balanced choice rather than one leaning toward combat survivability or stamina-heavy climbing and mining. The tick interval behind that 3 hp/tick healing rate isn't stated in the source used here, so the total health delivered over the full 1800-second duration can't be computed from what's documented — that stays undocumented. How these numbers stack up against other Mountain-tier foods is likewise not addressed by this source.
Practical tips
- Needs a level 3 Cauldron.
- Recipe is Honey x1, Wolf meat x1 — and it produces 2 jerky per batch, not 1.
- Filling a full stack of 20 takes 10 batches, so 10 Honey and 10 Wolf meat total.
- Delivers 33 health, 33 stamina, 1800 seconds (30 minutes), healing at 3 hp/tick.
- The infobox lists Usage: Eating only — no documented crafting use beyond that.
- A full stack of 20 weighs 10 total at 0.5 weight each.
- It's portal-safe, so a finished batch moves through an ordinary portal.
- Where to farm Honey or Wolf meat isn't covered here — check an ingredient-specific guide.
Running your own Valheim server
A level 3 Cauldron is already a group milestone — someone has to haul the upgrade materials up to a Mountain base before jerky starts coming off the fire two at a time. A gamever Valheim server keeps that kitchen persistent for up to 10 players, with one-click backups so an upgraded Cauldron and a stocked Honey-and-Wolf-meat larder are never rebuilt from scratch after a crash or a move between worlds.
Conclusion
Wolf jerky is a Mountain-tier food built from Honey x1 and Wolf meat x1 at a level 3 Cauldron, producing 2 jerky per batch — meaning a full stack of 20 needs 10 batches, or 10 Honey and 10 Wolf meat. Each piece returns a balanced 33 health, 33 stamina, and 1800 seconds (30 minutes) of duration at 3 hp/tick healing. The infobox documents Eating as its only use and flags it portal-safe, while a full stack weighs just 10 total at 0.5 weight each. What isn't documented by the source used here — the healing tick interval, where to farm Honey or Wolf meat, and how the stats compare to other Mountain dishes — is worth checking a dedicated ingredient or comparison guide before stocking a Mountain camp's kitchen.
