Knowing how to repair tools in Hytale is useful, if only to get rid of the message that you have 'broken items in your inventory that need repairs'. While that does tell you the option is there, it doesn't really give you anything you how to do it, or what you need. It is an easy process at least, even if the game tells you nothing about how. Like a lot of things in this early access game it's all hidden away in menus, unmentioned. Leaving you to find out what to do largely by accident as you explore crafting options. You'll also need to build some specific workbenches to get the things you need to make a repair kit, so this is everything you have to do to get your gear back up to 100%.
How to repair things in Hytale
You can repair in Hytale when you make a repair kit 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 using Hytale Copper to make better gear, you should one sorted by now). 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. To get that just head out somewhere with fairly ordinary animals, like a plain or woodland, and attack anything small like sheep or rabbits - I got mine from killing some boars.
Once you have a Furnace and Tanning Rack, and all the things you need, you can craft Hytale repair kits in the Workbench menu - where it becomes clearer that the silvery lump is actually a small box of tools.
To repair something in Hytale, whether that's tools, weapons or armor, you need to put the kit into one of your quick slots and then use it. That will bring up a list of everything you have that can be repaired, and you then just have to select whatever you want to fix. This will consume the repair kit and return the item to 100% efficiency. Once you have the resources you need it's much easier to carry a stack of repair kits around than it is extra tools, so gather linen, leather and iron whenever you see them and you'll always have what you need! And, in a pinch you can always use Hytale console commands to spawn a repair kit if you're desperate and can't find what you need.
