Step 1: Hunt wolves for medium hide
Medium Hide can only be obtained by hunting wolves, which are medium-sized predators in Hytale. Wolves typically spawn in forested or grassland biomes, often in early zones (1–2). Look for them in packs roaming open fields or near the edges of forests to collect this essential crafting material.
