Hytale Tool Guide
A practical guide to getting the most from each calculator. Whether you're picking your first weapon or planning a full Adamantite armor set, the right tool saves you a lot of guesswork.
How to Use the DPS Calculator
Weapon selection is the single biggest DPS lever in early Hytale. Here's a real example.
Copper Axe vs Copper Longsword — this debate comes up constantly in Zone 1 and Zone 2. Both are Tier 1 crafted weapons, both cost similar materials, but they deal damage in completely different ways.
| Weapon | Item Level | Base Swing Dmg | Charged Dmg | Max Durability | Durability/Hit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Copper Axe | 10 | 12 (x2 swings) | 24 (charged) | 90 | 0.56 / hit |
 Copper Longsword | 10 | 13 (x2 swings) | 24 (stab charged) | 100 | 0.52 / hit |
The Longsword edges out the Axe on both base swing damage (+1 per hit) and durability efficiency — it loses 0.52 per hit vs 0.56. Across 100 combat hits, the Longsword lasts roughly 7 more hits before needing a repair. Small difference, but it adds up during long dungeon runs.
Planning an Armor Set — Bronze vs Adamantite
Craft cost vs. stat gain: when the upgrade is actually worth it.
Bronze armor (Item Level 22, Uncommon) and Adamantite armor (Item Level 40, Rare) represent two of the clearer upgrade milestones. The stat difference is significant but so is the crafting requirement.
| Slot | Bronze Stats | Adamantite Stats | Physical Res Gain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Helmet | +9 HP, 5% phys resist | +14 HP, 8% phys resist | +3% |
| Chest | +17 HP, 9% phys resist | +24 HP, 14.4% phys resist | +5.4% |
| Legs | +13 HP, 7% phys resist | +19 HP, 11.2% phys resist | +4.2% |
Adamantite Chest alone costs 28 Adamantite Bars + 8 Heavy Leather + 7 Cindercloth Scraps — all Zone 2 materials. If you're still clearing Zone 1, Bronze is the correct choice. The Armor Value Calculator lets you set your current zone and available materials to check if the upgrade path makes sense right now.
Crafting System Explained
How benches, tiers, and diagrams interact — and which tools help you navigate it.
Hytale's crafting system uses tiered benches — a Weapon Bench at Tier 3 unlocks different recipes than one at Tier 1. Many items also require a crafting diagram (found from NPCs or dungeons) before the recipe appears. This is different from games where you automatically know all recipes.
Weapon Bench
Required for weapons. Tier 1 handles stone and crude weapons; Tier 3 required for Copper and Iron weapons. Axes need the Weapon_Axe category specifically.
Armor Bench
Required for metal armor. Adamantite pieces require Tier 3. Bronze armor can be crafted at a lower tier bench. Cloth armor uses a Sewing Bench instead.
Cooking Bench & Campfire
Basic cooking (Grilled Fish, Cooked Meat) works at a Campfire Tier 1. More complex recipes like Bread (2x Flour + 1x Salt) need a Cooking Bench at Tier 1.
Diagram Crafting
Some weapons — including several Club variants — require a diagram from the Armory bench before they're unlocked. Check the Recipe Calculator for the full prerequisite chain.
The Recipe Calculator on this site shows the complete ingredient list including secondary crafting steps. If a recipe needs Copper Bars, it will tell you how many Copper Ore you need to smelt them. Useful for planning a batch craft session without constant inventory counting.
Managing Equipment Durability
Durability loss is per-hit, not per-combat. The numbers matter more than most players expect.
The Crude Axe starts with 0 max durability listed — it's a disposable starting weapon, not worth repairing. The Copper Axe (maxDurability: 90, loss: 0.56/hit) runs out after approximately 160 hits. In a dungeon fight with 40 enemies, that's about 4 full dungeon clears before you need a repair.
| Weapon | Max Durability | Loss per Hit | Approx. Hits |
|---|---|---|---|
 Crude Axe | — | 0.56 | Disposable |
 Crude Club | 60 | 0.56 | ~107 hits |
 Crude Longsword | 60 | 0.52 | ~115 hits |
| Copper Axe | 90 | 0.56 | ~160 hits |
| Copper Longsword | 100 | 0.52 | ~192 hits |
The Durability Calculator lets you set your weapon and expected hits-per-session to get a repair interval. If you run the Forest Cave dungeon (Zone 1) averaging 80 combat hits per run, a Copper Longsword lasts around 2.4 runs before hitting a durability warning threshold. Plan a repair after every 2 clears to stay safe.

Consumables Quick Reference
Health potions and food items stack differently — knowing the numbers prevents wasted inventory space.
Health potions are instant heals; food items restore HP over time via stamina. They don't conflict — you can use both in the same fight. The Small Health Potion restores 20 HP instantly, while Grilled Fish gives 35 HP but works through the stamina regen mechanic.
| Item | Type | HP Restored | Stamina | Stack Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Small Health Potion | Potion | 20 (instant) | — | 10 |
 Health Potion | Potion | 40 (instant) | — | 10 |
 Bread | Food | 30 | +10 | — |
 Grilled Fish | Food (cooked) | 35 | +5 | — |
For dungeon runs: carry a mix of Health Potions (instant emergency heal) and Grilled Fish (pre-boss food buff). Bread's extra stamina boost is better for long exploration sessions where stamina drain matters more than spike healing.
About the Data on This Site
All stat values — weapon damage, armor resistance percentages, durability thresholds, and crafting ingredients — are verified against the current Early Access build (January 2026). Damage numbers are tested against training dummies with no gear modifiers applied. Durability values come from tracking hit counts on combat logs across multiple equipment pieces.
Hytale is in Early Access, which means balance patches will change numbers periodically. When a patch updates weapon damage or crafting costs, this site is updated within a few days. The last full data verification pass was completed in January 2026.
If you spot a number that looks off from what you're seeing in-game, the contact page is open. Corrections with specific details (weapon name, your measured value, game build version) help update the database faster.
