How to repair in Hytale: Repair Kits, item durability & more
Repair smarter. Make gear last.Knowing how to repair in Hytale is essential if you want to survive longer, save resources, and keep your best gear in good condition. Weapons, tools, and armor lose durability as you use them, and without repairs, they eventually become useless.
This guide explains everything you need to know about repairing items in Hytale, including Repair Kits, materials, durability rules, and smart repair strategies.
Understanding durability in Hytale
Every weapon, tool, and armor piece in Hytale has durability. Each action—mining, fighting, or blocking—slowly reduces that durability. When an item reaches zero durability, it does not vanish, but it becomes very weak and unreliable.

To fix damaged gear, Hytale uses a special item called a Repair Kit. Repair Kits restore durability, but they also introduce an important mechanic:
- Every repair reduces the item’s maximum durability by 10%
- This reduction is permanent
- Items can only be repaired a limited number of times
Because of this, repairs should be planned carefully.
What is a Hytale Repair Kit?
A Repair Kit is a consumable item used to restore durability to damaged gear. When used, it fully repairs the selected item but lowers its future durability cap.

Repair Kits can be used on:
- Weapons
- Tools
- Armor
They cannot be reused and are consumed after one repair.
