Shadoweave Scraps are a crucial mid-game crafting material in Hytale, essential for progressing your gear and workbench upgrades. They are primarily used to craft powerful Cobalt armor sets and to unlock higher-tier crafting stations. These dark, fabric-like scraps drop in challenging tier-3 zones, making them a rewarding but demanding resource to farm.
Primary Methods to Obtain Shadoweave Scraps
1. Defeating Outlander Enemies
The most reliable way to get Shadoweave Scraps is by killing Outlander enemies. These humanoid foes drop up to 4 scraps per kill, with nearly all variants (such as Outlander Warriors, Mages, and Chiefs) providing consistent yields.
Outlanders spawn inside large ancient monuments - think towering stone temples and ruins - rather than in open fields or caves. Focus your hunts there for maximum efficiency.
2. Looting Chests
Check chests hidden in buildings and monuments for bonus Shadoweave Scraps. These are often tucked away in side rooms, at the end of hallways, or corridors within tier-3 structures. While not as abundant as enemy drops, they provide a nice supplement during your clears.
Best Locations for Farming
Head to tier-3 snowy biomes, where the cold, icy terrain hosts Outlander camps:
- Boreal Reach: Snowy mountains with prominent ancient monuments.
- Everfrost (also called Everrost): Similar frosty zones filled with ruins and temples.
Use your map to spot these massive stone landmarks - they stand out against the snow. These areas are marked as tier-3, so expect tougher fights than in earlier zones.
Drop Rates and Yields
- Enemy Drops: Approximately 4 Shadoweave Scraps per Outlander kill (maximum of 4).
- A single monument clear can net 64+ scraps if you eliminate every enemy and loot all chests.
Efficient Farming Tips
- Gear Up First: Tier-3 enemies hit hard. Equip at least iron or thorium armor and weapons before venturing in.
- Systematic Clears: Enter monuments room by room, kill all Outlanders, then loot. Repeat across multiple structures.
- Bulk Farm: Aim for 50 scraps (workbench upgrade) or 128 (upgrade + full armor set) per session.
- Combine Resources: Farm here alongside Cobalt Ore and Heavy Leather for seamless Cobalt armor crafting.
- Avoid caves and open snowfields - scraps are monument-exclusive.
Key Uses for Shadoweave Scraps
Crafting Cobalt Armor
Craft at an Armorer's Workbench (Tier 2). A full set requires 20 scraps total:
| Armor Piece | Cobalt Ingots | Heavy Leather | Shadoweave Scraps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cobalt Helmet | 12 | 4 | 4 |
| Cobalt Cuirass | 24 | 7 | 7 |
| Cobalt Gauntlet | 8 | 3 | 3 |
| Cobalt Greaves | 18 | 6 | 6 |
Totals: 62 Cobalt Ingots, 20 Heavy Leather, 20 Shadoweave Scraps.
Cobalt gear bridges early iron/thorium sets to endgame adamantite/mithril.
Workbench Upgrades
Spend ~50 scraps (plus Thorium, Cobalt, Heavy Leather, and Essence of Fire) to upgrade your workbench to Tier 3 for advanced recipes.
They also appear in some weapon recipes like Cobalt swords and daggers.
