How to Obtain Materials

Here's where to find the materials needed to craft Ancient Gateway:

Cobblestone
Mine any stone with a pickaxe - All zones underground

Cobblestone is the rough stone obtained when mining natural stone blocks. It's the most abundant building material in Hytale and forms the foundation of many construction projects. Every miner accumulates massive amounts of cobblestone.

Tips:
  • You'll get cobblestone automatically while mining
  • The most common building block in the game
  • Can be smelted into smooth stone for decoration
  • Don't throw it away - always useful for building
Thorium Ingot
Smelt Thorium Ore at a Furnace - Crafted from Thorium Ore

Thorium Ingots are refined from the high-altitude Thorium Ore exclusive to Zone 2's desert mountains. This late-game metal creates powerful equipment.

Tips:
  • Thorium Ore only in Zone 2, high up
  • Requires advanced mining setup
  • Powerful late-game material
  • Desert expeditions required
Essence of Life
Dropped by Root Spirits - Zone 1 forests

Root Spirits are elemental beings embodying natural life energy. When defeated, they release concentrated Essence of Life. These peaceful-looking creatures will defend themselves if attacked.

Tips:
  • Root Spirits blend into forest environments
  • Drops 2-3 essence per spirit
  • Non-aggressive until provoked
  • Also found in magical groves
Essence of Life
Harvest from mature crops - Player farms

Life Essence can also be obtained by harvesting fully mature crops. Different crops yield varying amounts, with more complex vegetables producing greater quantities. Eternal crop variants yield essence more reliably.

Tips:
  • Wheat yields 2-4 essence per harvest
  • Potatoes and Onions yield 8-9 essence
  • Eternal seeds produce consistent essence yields
  • Set up dedicated farming operations for steady supply
Essence of the Void
Collect from void-touched sources - Zone 4 - Corrupted areas

Void Essence is a mysterious and dangerous material found in the most corrupted regions of Hytale. This otherworldly substance seems to absorb light itself and is associated with the darker forces at work in the world. Handle with extreme caution.

Tips:
  • Found in corrupted and void-touched areas
  • Void creatures are the primary source
  • Essential for crafting Mithril armor and dark equipment
  • The areas where it's found are extremely dangerous
