How to Obtain Materials

Here's where to find the materials needed to craft Fishing Trap:

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
Plant Fiber
Harvest from plants and grass - All zones

Plant Fiber is a basic crafting material gathered from tall grasses, bushes, and various plants throughout Hytale. Simply walk up to suitable vegetation and harvest it with your hands or a tool. This versatile material is used in rope, cloth, and many basic recipes.

Tips:
  • Tall grass and bushes are everywhere - gather as you explore
  • No special tools required for basic fiber gathering
  • Keep a good supply for rope and fabric crafting
  • Can also be obtained by salvaging wood at workbenches
Iron Ingot
Smelt Iron Ore at a Furnace - Crafted from Iron Ore

Iron Bars are created by smelting Iron Ore in any furnace. This fundamental crafting material is used in countless recipes, from basic tools to building components. A steady supply of iron bars is essential for any serious crafter.

Tips:
  • One Iron Ore produces one Iron Bar
  • Smelting takes about 30 seconds per ore
  • Stock up on iron bars - they're used in many recipes
  • Higher-tier furnaces may smelt faster
