Knowing how to repair in Hytale is useful, if only to dismiss the message that you have broken items in your inventory that need repairs. That tells you the option is there, but not what to actually do. It's an easy process but, like a lot of things in this early access game, it's all hidden away in menus, unmentioned. Leaving you to find what to do largely by accident as you explore crafting options. You'll also need to build some specific workbenches to make what's needed for a repair kit, so this is everything you need to get your gear back up to 100%.
How to repair things in Hytale
You'll find the option to repair in Hytale in the tools section of your workbench, where you craft hatchets and pickaxes. It's the top-left item you can see above that looks like a silvery lump.
To craft a repair kit, you'll need the following items:
- Two Linen Scraps - dropped by humanoid enemies
- One Iron Ingot - made in a furnace from Iron Ore
- One Light Leather - made on a tanning rack from Light Hide
So to make a repair kit in Hytale you need the resources listed above, which will require building a furnace and a tanning rack if you don't have them already. The good news here is that a Furnace can be made out of any Stone and any Log, so you should be able to build one easily (and if you're already using Hytale Copper to make better gear, you should have it sorted). The Tanning Rack, on the other hand, requires Stone, Log and the same Light Hide need to make the light leather needed for the kit. So head out to somewhere with fairly ordinary animals, like a plain or woodland, and attack something small like sheep or rats - I got mine from killing some boars.
Once you have a Furnace and Tanning Rack, and all the things you need, you can craft a Hytale repair kit in the Workbench menu - where it becomes clearer that the silvery lump is actually a small box of tools.
To actually repair something in Hytale you need to put the kit in one of your quick slots and use it. That will bring up a list of everything you have on you that needs repair - just select whatever you want to fix it. This will consume the repair kit and return whatever you choice back to 100%. Once you have the resources it's much easier to carry a stack or repair kits around than it is extra tools, so gather linen, leather and iron whenever you see it and stock up!
