Wolf armor wut?

[Hadley333]

It keeps me from freezing on top of a mountain that’s having a blizzard, yet can’t keep me warm at night in meadows? WUT???

[Humpenstilzchen]

It only keeps you warm as long as it is dry, once it rains and you get wet it doesn´t work anymore until you are dry again.

Thats not what he is talking about chili. He means it should negate the night-time cold debuff.

oh oops I thought he might have got wet and I didn´t notice that it doesn´t negate the cold debuff since I always sleep the night away. My bad.

In this case I agree it should negate the cold debuff.

The Cold Effect is an effect in Valheim.
General information

The cold effect is applied to a character most commonly at night.

It is counteracted by wearing warm clothes, such as the Wolf fur cape, Wolf armor chest, and Lox cape, by standing near objects that produce heat such as the Campfire, a working Smelter or a working Charcoal Kiln, or by consuming a Frost resistance mead.

From the Valheim Wiki. Your Wolf cape or chest should be protecting you from the cold effect unless you are wet.

Yeah, thats kind of counter productive. How df does one stay warm in an ice cold mountain but not a cool night? That really demeans the benefits of wearing the armor.

[Jaunitta 🌸]

Agree I have noticed this as well.

[Lucifronz]

Agreed. It has a negative effect on the player's regeneration, it should be negated by frost resistance at least.

[Wyrlish]

Does it not? I'm almost 100% sure I haven't felt cold anywhere since I've had the cloaks/armor equipped unless I got wet first, which is understandable.

I remember specifically having to ask a friend if he was cold when I was helping him recover his body from the black forest because I wasn't cold and couldn't quite tell if it was night. He said he was cold.

I guess I might not understand what the thread is about? It seems to do exactly what you say it doesn't.

There may be a bug, I only get the cold effect if it's night and either raining, or I jump in the water for some reason. I'm in wolf cape and padded armor, same with wife and she is in lox cape and padded armor.

[Pitchforque]

Pretty sure it's working as intended. Frost resist on armor protects you from both cold and freezing, but stops working when you are wet. It adds a new mechanic where getting wet at night actually matters, which I think is a good design.

Thats not a bug: Thats intended.

Sorry my sentence didn't come across clearly, I was trying to state that I felt that other people were suffering from a bug, since my gear works the way the wiki says it's supposed to work.

[Maelstrom]

If you get wet you'll still get cold or freezing. If it bothers you you can drink a frost resist mead and you'll be OK again.

Well, you'll still be wet.

I keep seeing that it's working as intended. it depends on what pieces of the set you wear. Make sure to have the wolf cape. If you are still cold, then maybe your game is bugged
