Shadoweave Scraps are a specialized crafting material in Hytale used for higher-tier armor. They are tied directly to the Cobalt armor set and are required in significant quantities for each piece.
Unlike basic resources such as wood or stone, Shadoweave Scraps come from enemy drops. They are obtained from Outlander enemies that inhabit tier‑3 snowy regions, including areas such as Bural Reach and Everrost. Anyone aiming for Cobalt armor will eventually need to farm these enemies in those specific biomes.
Cobalt armor pieces that use Shadoweave Scraps
Armor in Hytale is divided into four slots: Helm, Cuirass, Gauntlet, and Greaves. Cobalt is one of the higher tiers in the progression, sitting above copper, iron, and thorium gear and below adamantite and mithril. Every Cobalt armor piece needs Shadoweave Scraps along with Cobalt Ingots and Heavy Leather, and all of them are crafted at an Armorer’s Workbench upgraded to Tier 2.
The Cobalt armor requirements that involve Shadoweave Scraps are summarized below.
| Armor piece | Workbench tier | Cobalt Ingots | Heavy Leather | Shadoweave Scraps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cobalt Helmet | Armorer’s Workbench Tier 2 | 12 | 4 | 4 |
| Cobalt Cuirass | Armorer’s Workbench Tier 2 | 24 | 7 | 7 |
| Cobalt Gauntlet | Armorer’s Workbench Tier 2 | 8 | 3 | 3 |
| Cobalt Greaves | Armorer’s Workbench Tier 2 | 18 | 6 | 6 |
For a complete Cobalt armor set, the total Shadoweave Scrap requirement is:
- Shadoweave Scraps: 4 + 7 + 3 + 6 = 20
- Heavy Leather: 4 + 7 + 3 + 6 = 20
- Cobalt Ingots: 12 + 24 + 8 + 18 = 62
Planning around these totals helps determine how long to spend farming Outlanders before returning to craft.
Building the Armorer’s Workbench
Any armor crafting, including Cobalt pieces, happens at the Armorer’s Workbench. The basic workbench must be constructed before it can later be upgraded to the tier required for Cobalt recipes.
Step 1: Collect the materials for an Armorer’s Workbench. You need 2 Copper Ingot, 10 Tree Trunks, and 5 Stone in your inventory.
Step 2: Use your crafting interface to combine these materials into an Armorer’s Workbench. The primary action is to locate the workbench recipe and confirm the craft once the components are present.
Step 3: Place the Armorer’s Workbench in your base or any safe location. Position it somewhere you can easily access while managing storage and resources.
Step 4: Interact with the workbench to open the armor crafting menu. Choose the armor slot you want to produce (Helmet, Cuirass, Gauntlet, or Greaves) and inspect the recipes that appear for each tier, including the Cobalt variants when you have a Tier 2 workbench.
Step 5: When crafting any armor piece, load the required materials from your inventory into the recipe and confirm the craft. If the corresponding armor slot on your character is empty, the new piece is automatically equipped.
Where to get Shadoweave Scraps (Outlander drops)
Shadoweave Scraps are tied to a specific enemy faction and biome combination rather than being a general loot item. They drop from Outlander enemies encountered in tier‑3 snowy zones, including Bural Reach and Everrost. To gather a meaningful amount, time must be spent hunting Outlanders in these regions.
Step 1: Travel to a tier‑3 snowy region such as Bural Reach or Everrost. These areas are characterized by cold, snow-covered terrain and are marked as tier‑3 zones in the world progression.
Step 2: Explore the snowy landscape and keep an eye out for Outlander enemies. Move through the area systematically so you do not miss groups of enemies that may be scattered across the terrain.
Step 3: Engage and defeat Outlander enemies you encounter. After each fight, check the ground and loot windows carefully and pick up any Shadoweave Scraps that appear among the drops.
Step 4: Continue clearing Outlanders in these tier‑3 snowy zones until you have at least 20 Shadoweave Scraps if your goal is a full Cobalt armor set. Gathering a few extra can be helpful if you plan to replace pieces or craft additional Cobalt gear later.
Planning Shadoweave Scraps for Cobalt armor
Since every Cobalt armor slot consumes Shadoweave Scraps, it is useful to plan your farming around the exact numbers. A full set requires 20 Shadoweave Scraps, which usually means several trips through Outlander territory rather than a single short excursion.
One practical approach is to set incremental goals. For example, collect enough Shadoweave Scraps to craft a Cobalt Helmet and Gauntlet first, then return later for the Cuirass and Greaves. This lets you benefit from partial Cobalt defenses while you continue gathering the remaining materials.
Shadoweave Scraps are only one part of the resource puzzle. Farming them in Bural Reach or Everrost pairs naturally with parallel efforts to gather enough Cobalt Ingots and Heavy Leather, so that all three requirements are ready once the Armorer’s Workbench is at Tier 2.
Crafting Cobalt armor with Shadoweave Scraps
Once the Armorer’s Workbench is in place, upgraded to Tier 2, and the required materials are collected, the actual crafting process is straightforward.
Step 1: Use an Armorer’s Workbench that has been upgraded to Tier 2. Without Tier 2, the Cobalt armor recipes will not be available in the armor crafting interface.
Step 2: Interact with the workbench, select the armor slot you want to craft (for example, Helmet or Greaves), and scroll to the Cobalt recipe for that slot. Verify that you have enough Cobalt Ingots, Heavy Leather, and Shadoweave Scraps in your inventory.
Step 3: Move the required materials into the recipe input, then confirm the craft. Repeat this process for each armor slot until you have produced all four pieces that make up the full Cobalt set.
After all four Cobalt armor pieces are crafted and equipped, Shadoweave Scraps have effectively been converted into a durable defensive upgrade suited to Hytale’s higher-tier regions. Any future scraps you pick up from Outlanders in Bural Reach, Everrost, or other tier‑3 snowy zones can then be reserved for replacements or additional Cobalt gear as your needs change.
