The world of Hytale is a dangerous place, and you’ll quickly learn that dealing with threats from a safe distance is a lot safer than getting in close and personal.
If you’re even a little familiar with survival games, you already know where I’m going with this. You can craft a Bow and Arrows in Hytale, and getting the materials you need to make them is easier than you’d think.
How to craft a bow in Hytale
To make a bow, you’ll need to make a Worktable first. Hytale has multiple tiers of Worktable, but the first works just fine. I found more than enough resources to craft a Worktable around my spawn point, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble here.
Once you’ve got a functioning worktable, you can craft a Bow. To do this, you’ll need four Sticks and six bundles of Plant Fiber. Stricks can be found in piles on the ground, but they can also drop when you chop down a tree, so craft a Handaxe if you haven’t already.
Plant Fiber drops from cut grass, and you don’t even need a weapon to do the job. That said, Plant Fiber seemed to drop more when I used a Sword, so I’d recommend using one.
Once you have everything you need, head back to the Worktable and use the crafting menu to make yourself a Bow!
How to make Arrows in Hytale
Arrows are a unique craft in Hytale, so you’ll want to make a few before you go out to sharpen your archery skills. Thankfully, they’re easy to make.
All you need to make an Arrow is four Sticks and one chunk of Any Rubble. We’ve already gone over how to find the Sticks, and Rubble is literally lying around all over the place waiting for you to pick it up. You automatically craft four arrows at a time, so you’ll have a full quiver in no time.
How to use the Bow and Arrows in Hytale
Archery is a lot more complicated than hand-to-hand combat, but it’s a skill worth mastering. To knock an Arrow into the Bow, hold down the right mouse key. If you charge your shot long enough, the attack will do extra damage, and you can deal even more if you hit an enemy who hasn’t seen you.
In case you do need help with the specifics, here’s how to find Rubble in Hytale.
