In Hytale, tools, weapons, and armor degrade over time with use, especially during intense combat against mobs like wolf packs or skeleton fighters. Running out of durability mid-adventure can spell disaster. Enter the Repair Kit: a crucial consumable that restores your gear's current durability. This guide covers everything from gathering materials to smart usage strategies, helping you stay equipped in Emera.
Step 1: Gathering the Required Materials
Crafting a Repair Kit demands three key resources. Stock up early, as you'll need multiples for frequent repairs.
Linen Scraps (x2)
Linen Scraps drop from humanoid enemies across Zone 1 and beyond. Target Skeleton Fighters roaming fields, Goblin Scrappers underground, or Trorks in village camps. These spots respawn, making farming reliable. Expect 1-2 scraps per kill.
Hunt at night for torch-lit mobs or clear camps on the map for efficiency.
Iron Ingot (x1)
Mine Iron Ore using a Crude Pickaxe (or better, Copper) from cave walls and ceilings. Smelt it in a Tier 1 Furnace with fuel like sticks or wood. One ore yields one ingot.
Build your Furnace first: 8 Any Stone + 4 Any Tree Log at a Workbench.
Light Leather (x1)
Harvest Light Hide from small animals like rabbits, pigs, rats, sheep, cows, or boars. Process it at a Tanning Rack (crafted at Workbench: 6 Any Tree Trunk + 3 Any Stone + 3 Plant Fiber). Drop the hide onto the rack; no extra fuel needed.
Roam plains for passive farms.
Step 2: Crafting the Repair Kit
Head to a Tier 1 (or higher) Workbench. Open the interface, switch to the second tab (Tools, top-left icon looks like iron chunks). The Repair Kit recipe appears first: 2 Linen Scraps + 1 Iron Ingot + 1 Light Leather. Craft as many as you can carry.
Each kit has one use.
Step 3: Using Repair Kits
- Place the Repair Kit in your hotbar.
- Select it to hold (close inventory if open).
- Right-click to activate. A menu opens listing all damaged items in your inventory with their durability percentages.
- Choose the item to repair. The kit consumes instantly, restoring full current durability.
Works on tools, weapons, and armor. No Workbench needed for use.
Key Mechanic: The Durability Penalty
Every repair reduces the item's maximum durability by 10%. A fresh tool at 100 max dur becomes 90 after one fix, then 81, and so on. Eventually, items become too fragile; craft replacements. This encourages smart resource management.
Death may also degrade gear further.
Pro Tips for Long-Term Survival
- Prioritize Wisely: Save kits for high-value armor/weapons. Duplicate cheap tools like pickaxes.
- Stockpile: Keep 10+ kits at base. Materials farm quickly.
- Salvage Scraps: For broken items, upgrade to Tier 2 Workbench and craft a Salvager's Workbench (6 Iron Ingots + 5 Tree Trunk + 5 Stone). Break down gear for partial material recovery.
- Early Game Focus: Clear Trork camps for scraps while mining iron.
- Mods Alert: Community mods offer durability-preserving kits, but stick to vanilla for pure play.
