Hytale: How To Repair Tools And Weapons
You repair tools, like the pickaxe, and weapons in Hytale by crafting a Repair Kit at a Tier 1 or higher Workbench, then using that kit to restore durability from a special repair menu. Repairs are item based, cost real materials, and are meant to be used carefully rather than constantly.
This guide explains exactly how repairing works, how to craft Repair Kits, and when repairing is worth doing.
How Repairing Works In Hytale
Hytale does not let you repair gear directly at a bench. Repairs only happen through Repair Kits.
A Repair Kit opens a separate repair menu where you select which item to fix. Once used, the kit is consumed.
Because materials are limited early on, repairing is a resource decision, not a free action.
How To Craft A Repair Kit
Repair Kits are crafted at a Tier 1 Workbench or higher.
The recipe is found under the repair tab, which uses a small tool icon. Many players miss this tab at first.
To craft 1 Repair Kit, you need
2 Linen Scraps
1 Iron Ingot
1 Light Leather
Once crafted, place the Repair Kit into your hotbar.
How To Repair An Item
Using a Repair Kit is simple once you know where to look.
Equip the Repair Kit in your hotbar
Use it to open the repair menu
Select the damaged tool or weapon
Confirm the repair
The item regains durability based on the kit. The kit is consumed after use.
Where Repair Materials Come From
Repair Kits require multiple crafting chains, which is why repairs matter.
Linen Scraps drop from early zone enemies like skeletons, goblins, and trork enemies.
Iron Ingots are smelted from iron ore using a Tier 1 Furnace with fuel.
Light Leather comes from Light Hide, which drops from small animals. Light Hide is processed on a Tier 1 Drying Rack.
When You Should Repair Gear
Repair Kits are not cheap early on. Using them at high durability wastes materials.
Repairs are best used when a tool or weapon is close to breaking. Saving kits for high value gear is usually smarter than fixing everything.
Common Repair Mistakes
Most repair issues come from expectation, not bugs.
Trying to repair directly at a bench
Repairing items at high durability
Forgetting to equip the Repair Kit
Missing the repair tab in the Workbench menu
Once you know the system, repairs are very consistent.
Final Blurb
Repairing in Hytale is intentional and material driven. Craft Repair Kits, save them for gear that matters, and avoid panic fixing every scratch. Smart repairs stretch your resources and keep progression smooth.
