Why sword progression matters in Hytale
Swords define your combat capability throughout Hytale. By following the natural progression from Crude to Mithril and crafting upgrades only when needed, you maintain strong offense without wasting valuable materials.
Each sword tier is balanced around enemy strength and biome difficulty. Using an under-tier sword leads to longer fights and higher risk, while over-upgrading too early can drain rare resources needed elsewhere.
