What to know
- Thorium is a mid-tier armor set crafted at a Tier 2 Armorer’s Workbench
- It sits between Iron and Cobalt in progression
- Each piece provides poison resistance alongside physical defenses
- Ideal for tougher biomes with venomous enemies
The Thorium armor set is designed for players moving out of early-game safety and into more hostile environments in Hytale. Compared to Iron armor, it introduces poison resistance, making it especially useful against spider-like and toxic enemies commonly found in mid-tier zones.
A complete Thorium set consists of four pieces, all crafted individually at the Armorer’s Workbench once it’s upgraded to Tier 2.
Workbench and crafting requirements
To unlock Thorium armor recipes, you must upgrade your Armorer’s Workbench to Tier 2. Earlier tiers will not display Thorium gear.
All Thorium armor pieces rely on a mix of metal, fabric, and enemy drops, encouraging exploration and combat rather than simple mining alone.
