How to repair equipment in Hytale using a repair kit
Hytale doesn't forgive recklessness. Charging confidently into a wolf pack or skeleton group quickly reduces pristine weapons to scrap metal, while armor durability plummets toward zero. The game's repair system works differently from other survival titles – you can't simply approach a workbench to restore equipment. Players need to stock up on specialized kits and resources beforehand.
Crafting the repair kit
Repairing items in Hytale requires crafting a Repair Kit at a level one workbench or higher. The kit's icon sits on the second tab in the upper left corner – a small pickaxe symbol easily mistaken for an iron ingot icon. After crafting, place the kit on the hotbar, then select the specific item to restore in the window that appears.
The key advice – use kits sparingly. Unlike other genre games where repair is available anytime at a workbench, each restoration here demands resource expenditure. Fixing items at 90% durability wastes materials that deplete quickly during active gameplay.
Required materials:
Crafting one Repair Kit requires:
Linen scraps (2 pieces)
Iron ingot (1 piece)
Light leather (1 piece)
Linen scraps
Linen scraps drop from various mobs in the first zone. Skeleton warriors patrol surface fields, goblin bandits inhabit dungeons, and trorks establish camps in their villages. These enemies regularly drop the needed material, making scrap accumulation straightforward through active location clearing.
Iron ingots
Iron demands more effort. First mine iron ore in shafts, then smelt it in a level one furnace. Operating the furnace requires a stick supply as fuel – chop down several trees beforehand and prepare sufficient wood.
Light leather
Leather creation happens in two stages. First hunt small animals – rabbits, pigs, rats and other creatures that drop light hide. After gathering enough hides, build a level one drying rack and process the material. The process takes time, but the rack operates automatically after loading resources.
