Discover everything you need to know about repairing tools in this Hytale guide, including the required materials.
A Repair Kit in Hytale is a craftable item that you use to fix damaged gear like tools, weapons, and armor. It’s not a station you place, but an item you use from your inventory to restore durability to gear that has worn down. Repairing items reduces an item’s maximum durability by up to 10% each time you use a Repair Kit.
Craft the Repair Kit at a Workbench and move it to your hotbar to use it. Equip the Repair Kit and use it to open a repair menu, allowing you to select the damaged item you want to fix. Once confirmed, the item’s durability is restored, and the Repair Kit is consumed.
The tools in Hytale lose their durability when you keep using them over time. Make sure to save the repair kit for high-tier gear rather than cheap tools.

Repair Tools in Hytale
Unlike many other survival games, you cannot repair tools directly at a special crafting station or workbench. Instead, you must craft and use a Repair Kit. This is a consumable item that lets you fix tools, weapons, and armor. Make sure to craft the workbench tier 1 from the inventory menu.
Use the required materials to craft the repair kit. Once done, place it at a suitable location to use it. Interact with the workbench and find the Repair Kit to craft it.
How to Get a Repair Kit
The materials required to craft a repair kit in Hytale are 2xLinen Scraps, 1xIron Ingot, and 1xLight Leather. Defeat the humanoid enemies like skeletons and goblins to get your hands on the Linen Scraps.
The enemies are harder to defeat, so use the best weapon, like daggers or a sword, to kill them. The Iron Ingot is obtained by smelting the Iron ore at the Furnace.
The Iron ore is obtained by mining it from the secret caves and any specific structure. Make sure you have a pickaxe before heading out to obtain the ores.
Once you acquire the Iron Ore, Interact with the Furnace at your base. Put the Iron Ore into the input slot and Wood like Oak Log or Azure Log to initiate the smelting process.
This can take several minutes to obtain the Iron Ingot, so complete tasks till then. Light Leather, on the other hand, is obtained from Light Hide.
Defeating the smaller animals allows you to gain this material. Once you obtain Light Hide, interact with the Tanning Rack and place it inside the input slot. Doing so allows you to cover the Light Hide with the Light Leather.
How To Use the Repair Kit
Once you craft and place the repair kit in your hotbar, use it to open the repair menu. Choose the tool, weapon, or armor you want to repair. Confirm to restore durability. The Repair Kit fully restores durability to a damaged tool. However, each time you repair something with a kit, the item’s maximum durability permanently decreases by up to about 10%.
Repeated repairs make the tool weaker overall, encouraging you to eventually make a new tool. I highly recommend you save the Repair Kits for high-tier tools or valuable gear because they cost iron and leather.
Let low-tier tools break and simply craft new ones early in the game, as they are cheap and easy to replace. Keep in mind that Repair Kits are consumable, meaning one kit fixes one item and then disappears.
Tips and Tricks To Use Repair Kits
Below are the best tips and tricks to use the repair kit in Hytale effectively.
- Iron, Thorium, Cobalt, and rare tools are worth repairing because replacing them costs more resources.
- Stone, wood, or early copper tools are cheap to remake, so wasting a Repair Kit on them isn’t efficient.
- Carry a few kits to avoid dying with broken equipment before going into the caves and boss areas.
- Make sure to repair the critical tools like a high-tier pickaxe first.
- After that, repair the tools that take a long time to replace due to rare materials.
- Stocking materials like Linen Scraps, Light Leather, and Iron Ingot ensures you can craft kits when needed.
- Build a Salvager’s Workbench to break it down into some raw materials, allowing you to gain materials for future kits or tools.
