The desert wind whipped around me, stinging my eyes as I scanned the horizon. My water skin was nearly empty, and the sun beat down with merciless intensity. Then, a glint of green caught my eye—the unmistakable shimmer of Thorium. Suddenly, the risks felt worthwhile.
Few armor sets in Hytale can alter your gameplay as dramatically as the Thorium set does when you venture into the deeper, more dangerous zones.
Acquiring the material for this game-changing armor should be an epic quest, right? Not necessarily. If you know where to search, the process becomes far more manageable. Here’s your guide on where to find Thorium and the most efficient method for farming it in Hytale.
Where is the best place to mine Thorium in Hytale?
There’s a particular satisfaction in discovering a resource-rich location before anyone else. You can obtain and farm Thorium in Hytale by mining its ore within large geological features and cave systems spread across the Howling Sands biome, specifically within The Badlands and The Desolate Basin regions. The good news is that any tier of pickaxe will work, but a copper-tier tool (or better) will substantially increase your mining speed. Alternatively, you might find Thorium as random loot within chests.
Unlike iron deposits, Thorium veins are much easier to identify due to their distinctive green hue; they practically glow under the light of torches or other light sources. After mining the ore, you’ll need a Furnace (requiring six Tree Trunks and six Stone blocks) to smelt it into ingots needed for crafting the armor.
My own route to the desert biome involved crossing the Golden Steps region, which lies south of Emerald’s Wilds (Zone 1). Keep in mind that world generation varies, so your game seed might differ from mine.
What is the fastest way to get Linen Scraps in Hytale?
There’s a certain rhythm to resource gathering; a constant loop of action and reward. Besides the Thorium ingots and a Tier 2 Armorer’s Workbench, crafting the Thorium armor pieces in Hytale requires substantial quantities of Medium Leather, Linen Scraps, and Venom Sacs. You can farm Medium Leather by processing hides from medium-sized animals using the Tanning Rack. Linen Scraps are common drops from skeletons. Finally, defeat spiders and other venomous creatures to collect Venom Sacs.
Think of resource gathering as a gardener tending to their plants. The rarer the resource, the more care you must apply. Securing Thorium in Hytale is like tending to a prized orchid. It requires patience and the right conditions.
What are the best weapons to use in the desert biome in Hytale?
Every biome demands a different tactical approach. To truly dominate the desert biome, you’ll want weapons that can handle the unique threats. While the Thorium armor will provide much needed protection, knowing which weapons give you the advantage is equally important.
The desert is a harsh mistress. One lapse in judgment can cost you dearly. It’s important to consider a ranged option, like a bow, to deal with threats from a distance, but having a powerful melee weapon, such as a sword or axe crafted from stronger metals, is beneficial for close encounters.
