What to do first in Hytale?

Hytale It's a huge game filled with tons of stuff to do, and if you're new to this kind of game, you might not know where to go or what to do first. Everyone starts out with nothing on their list and no clear goal (at least in exploration mode), and if you're feeling a little lost or overwhelmed, then you're not the first. In this guide, we will cover each of the new first steps Hytale The player has to, and we're also going to have a simple progression plan for players who want to focus on building their character and getting cool stuff.

Hytale This build is still in early access at the time of writing, so expect a lot of missing content and features. The following guide should cover most of the important things players need to do in the game, but expect some more end-game content and progression paths down the road once major updates and expansions go live.

Hytale Progress Plan Outline

TL; DR

  1. Craft tools

  2. Build a shelter

  3. Craft equipment from the following ores:

    • copper

    • iron

    • Thorium

    • Cobalt

    • Adamantite

  4. Visit the Forgotten Temple

  5. Upgrade your base and gear

  6. Ancient Gateway Map

We'll dive into each of these items shortly, but if you're brand new Hytale, The above list is the most basic outline of how progress flows. You're completely free to do whatever you want, but if you want a smoother, more streamlined experience, use this outline as a rough guide.

Exploration is the name of the game Hytale. You can't create new gear, find new materials, or make any kind of progress if you just stay in one location.

Hytale Sticks and Debris

The first order of business is to craft a set of basic tools and weaponsBut instead of throwing trees and rocks, you'll want to pick up sticks and debris. These can be turned into crude tools that are sufficient for basic resource gathering and self-defense.

You may find sticks and debris on the floor. The former can also be cut by cutting tall grass or small, thin trees, meanwhile, the latter can often be found on top of rocks.

Once you have enough resources, press the Tab key to open your inventory, which includes the crafting menu. Build your first set of items, then start gathering more items in preparation for building the base.

Building your first home

You don't need to build anything fancy, but you do need to have enough space for:

  • Bed or bedroll

  • 12 different craft stations

  • 5-6 large breasts

  • a field

You'll eventually accumulate a lot of resources, and you'll need a bunch of different workspaces to process them all. Anything you can't process can probably be used for something else, so don't throw things away.

Best base locations

on the map of Hytale The exploration mode is procedurally generated, and the experience is different for each player. However, if you have the opportunity to choose where to build your own base, We recommend the area near the water and the red/orange autumn forest. You need water to get salt blocks HytaleAnd you'll need bloodcap mushrooms and different types of wood from the autumn fields later.

Gear progress

Hytale It has a mostly vertical progression system when it comes to tools. Weapons, equipment, and armor are all tiered, meaning lower-tier gear is bound to eventually be replaced by better ones. The type of material used to craft equipment determines its level, and as of writing, here are four tiers of gear in the game so far, arranged from worst to best:

  1. copper layer

  2. iron layer

  3. thorium layer

  4. Cobalt layer

  5. Adamantite tear

Based on the armor sets available in Creative Mode, There will be some horizontal progression when it comes to gear selection – Players will be able to choose between different types of equipment in each level. For example, Instead of using Iron Armor, players can use the Trork Warrior set. Both can be considered on the same tier as they have similar defensive values, but Trork armor increases your charged attack damage in exchange for being invulnerable and less durable.

You don't need to craft items from the previous level of equipment to advance to the next one.. If you know where to go, you can go directly to the Cobalt Tier, but doing so can prove difficult with raw weapons and no armor.

The Forgotten Temple

Forgotten Temple Hytale

One thing players can do at any time is visit the Forgotten Temple. The portals that lead to it are always under the ruined temples found in the world. Go to one of the ruins, go into the basement, then walk through the portal there. You will then find yourself in the Forgotten Temple, which serves as the hub area.

As of writing, The Forgotten Temple is still being actively developed by Hypixel. Most of its buildings aren't finished yet, but there are a few things you can do while you're there:

  • Interact with the altar at the end of the path to record and view memories

  • Interact with NPC vendors to purchase crafting materials, ingredients, recipes, and more

Upgrade your base and gear

One of the main parts of the progress Hytale Need to upgrade your workbenches. You will not be able to make some recipes with a level 1 workbench. With that said, you want to collect as many resources as possible. You can see what resources you need by interacting with the workbench, so take note of the items you need to collect to improve your crafting stations before you head out on an adventure.

While you're here, make sure you farm your base. You want crops to at least get cooking ingredients and essences of life.

Also, as mentioned in the gear progression section above, you can find random equipment from monsters or chests while exploring. Some of these may be better than what you have now, so be sure to check them out.

Outlanders, hostile NPCs found in tundra areas, have a chance to drop Doomed Outlander weapons. If you fancy new gear while farming Shadowave Scraps, keep an eye out for these weapons (once they're fully implemented, of course).

Ancient Gateway

Assuming you've done everything listed above, You can try building another Ancient Gateway. It's a device that uses fragments to create portals that lead to new, randomly generated maps. The maps themselves follow certain themes, and they will be very different from what you've seen so far. Open a piece, hop through a portal, and explore until you run out of time.

This feature is WIP at the time of writing this guide, so don't expect too much from it just yet.
