What to know
- Repair Kits are crafted at a basic Workbench using early-game materials
- They fully repair items but reduce maximum durability
- Most materials come from Zone 1 enemies and wildlife
- Repair Kits are consumable, so timing matters
In Hytale, durability management is part of long-term survival. Repair Kits give you a portable way to restore worn gear without returning to base, making them especially useful during extended exploration or combat runs.
Materials required to craft a repair kit
To craft a single Repair Kit, gather the following:
- Linen Scraps x2 — Dropped by many Zone 1 enemies
- Iron Ingot x1 — Smelt Iron Ore in a Furnace
- Light Leather x1 — Process Light Hide on a Tanning Rack
Light Hide commonly drops from small animals like rabbits, making Light Leather accessible very early.
How to craft a repair kit at the workbench
Place a Workbench in your base or temporary shelter and interact with it to open the crafting menu. Switch to the second crafting tab, where utility and maintenance items are listed.

Confirm you have all required materials in your inventory before selecting the Repair Kit recipe. Craft the Repair Kit and store it in your inventory or hotbar for later use.

How to use a repair kit on damaged gear
Place the Repair Kit in your hotbar and activate it. Select the damaged weapon, tool, or armor piece in the repair window.

Confirm the repair to instantly restore durability.
The item will be fully repaired, but its maximum durability will be reduced by approximately 10%, making repeated repairs a long-term trade-off.

When to use repair kits efficiently
Repair Kits are best saved for high-value gear or situations where returning to a crafting station isn’t practical. Using them too early on low-tier equipment can shorten the lifespan of items you may soon replace anyway.
