What to know
- Storm Leather is crafted, not dropped, and needs materials from forest, ice, and fire biomes.
- You must first create He Leather before upgrading to Storm Leather.
- A Tier 3 workbench is mandatory for the final recipe.
- It’s primarily used for mail, weapons, and armor.
In Hytale, Storm Leather sits at the top of the leather progression. You’ll spend most of your time hunting specific enemies across dangerous regions, then combine everything through multiple crafting stages.

Where to find the materials you need
Storm Leather pulls ingredients from several hostile zones, so expect a long farming loop.
Linen Scraps from forest and plains enemies
Linen Scraps drop from common humanoid enemies such as goblins and skeletons. These enemies frequently spawn in forest and plains biomes and are usually the easiest part of the process.

Shadoweave Scraps in ice biomes
Shadoweave Scraps are obtained by defeating Outlanders. These enemies are found in ice biomes and are tougher than early-game mobs, often appearing in small groups.

Cindercloth Scraps from fire regions
Cindercloth Scraps come from burnt skeletons and chests located in fire biomes, especially around fire villages. These areas are more dangerous and may require heat-resistant gear or careful pulls.

Heavy Hide from animal hunting
Heavy Hide is a base material collected from animals such as mosshorns, bears, crocodiles, moose, cows, and ember wolves. You’ll need a steady supply, so hunting routes near multiple animal spawns help.

How to craft Heavy Leather before Storm Leather
You cannot jump straight to Storm Leather. Heavy Leather is a required intermediate step.
Step 1: Gather hides
Hunt animals until you have enough Hide for multiple batches. Storm Leather requires 3x Heavy Leather per piece.
Step 2: Use a standard workbench with tanning equipment
Craft Heavy Leather using a Tanning Rack. Repeat until you have at least three Heavy Leather.

How to craft Storm Leather at a Tier 3 workbench
Step 1: Upgrade your workbench
Upgrade your workbench to Tier 3. Without this upgrade, the Storm Leather recipe will not appear.
Step 2: Combine the required materials
For one Storm Leather, you need:
- 5x Linen Scraps
- 4x Cinder Scraps
- 4x Shadow Weave Scraps
- 3x Heavy Leather

Step 3: Craft and store safely
Storm Leather is valuable and time-consuming to replace, so store extras securely once crafted.
What Storm Leather is used for
Storm Leather represents a major mid-to-late game milestone in Hytale. If you plan your biome routes and batch-craft Heavy Leather first, the process becomes far more manageable.
Storm Leather is primarily consumed in advanced crafting recipes.
| Craft category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Armor | Mail and high-tier armor sets |
| Weapons | Select late-game weapons |
| Equipment | Specialized gear upgrades |
