So you’ve progressed through the early zones, upgraded your gear a few times, and now you’re eyeing that sweet Cobalt equipment. There’s just one problem: you need Shadoweave Scraps, and you have no idea where to find them.
Don’t worry—you’re not alone. Shadoweave Scraps are a late-game crafting material that might seem rare at first, but once you know where to look (and who to fight), they’re actually pretty farmable. Let’s break down everything you need to know about getting Shadoweave Scraps, farming them efficiently, and what you can craft with them.
Where to Find Shadoweave Scraps in Hytale
Shadoweave Scraps drop from Outlanders, the hostile humanoid enemies that hang out in snow biomes (also called tundra regions). These aren’t your basic skeleton soldiers from earlier zones—Outlanders are significantly tougher, better equipped, and way more organized.
Finding Outlander Camps
Outlanders live in camps scattered throughout snow biomes. These camps are pretty easy to spot:
- They show up clearly on your map
- You can see them from a distance on the horizon
- They’re usually fortified with walls, tents, and watchtowers
Inside each camp, you’ll encounter different types of Outlanders:
- Fighters – Melee warriors with decent health and damage
- Archers – Ranged attackers who’ll pelt you from a distance
- Mages – Magic users who cast spells (watch out for these!)
Each Outlander has a fairly high drop chance for Shadoweave Scraps, so clearing out a full camp can net you a solid stack of materials. Plus, don’t forget to loot the chests and containers inside the camp—they often contain bonus Shadoweave Scraps and other valuable materials.
How to Farm Shadoweave Scraps Efficiently in Hytale
Outlanders aren’t pushovers. They hit hard, work together in groups, and their camps are designed to be defensible. Here’s how to farm them without getting wrecked.
Gear Up Properly
Before you even think about attacking an Outlander camp, make sure you’re properly equipped:
- Solid armor – At minimum, full Iron gear; Cobalt is even better if you’ve already started crafting it
- Good weapons – A high-damage sword or axe for melee, or a bow for ranged combat
- Healing items – Stock up on health potions and food
- Repair kits – Your gear will take a beating, so bring materials to fix it
If you’re undergeared, you’ll get demolished. Trust me on this one.
Set Up a Forward Base
Here’s a pro tip that’ll save you tons of time and frustration: build a small camp with a bedroll just outside the Outlander base. That way, if things go sideways and you die, you respawn right there instead of at your main base halfway across the map.
All you need is:
- A bedroll to set your spawn point
- Maybe a small chest to store extra supplies
- Some walls or barriers if you want extra safety
It takes two minutes to set up and can save you hours of travel time.
Combat Strategy
Outlanders are tough, but they have weaknesses you can exploit:
For Ranged Players:
- Bows are extremely effective in Hytale, especially against Outlanders
- Keep your distance and kite the melee fighters
- Pick off archers and mages first—they’re squishy but dangerous
- Outlander melee units are slow, so you can easily outrun them while shooting
For Melee Players:
- Rush the archers and mages first to eliminate their ranged threat
- Use hit-and-run tactics against fighters
- Don’t get surrounded—fight near the camp edges so you can retreat if needed
- Block and dodge attacks; don’t just tank everything
For Magic Users:
- Ice spells from the Ice Crystal Staff are perfect for crowd control
- Freeze groups of Outlanders, then finish them with melee or ranged attacks
- Bring plenty of mana potions—you’ll burn through them fast
Use Teleporters to Speed Up Farming
Let’s be honest—traveling to snow biomes over and over again gets old fast. That’s where Teleporters come in clutch.
Set up a teleporter at your main base and another one near the snow biome where you’re farming Shadoweave Scraps. Now you can instantly jump between locations, grab supplies, deposit loot, and get back to farming without wasting 10 minutes on travel time.
To craft teleporters, you’ll need an Arcanist’s Workbench and materials like Azure Logs and Azure Kelp. For the full crafting process, check out our teleporter guide.
Alternative: If you don’t have teleporters yet, bring a horse to speed up travel. Just make sure you’ve tamed it properly and bring the right supplies to keep it safe during combat.
What to Do With Shadoweave Scraps in Hytale
Alright, you’ve farmed a bunch of Shadoweave Scraps. Now what?
Crafting Cobalt Gear
Shadoweave Scraps are primarily used to craft Cobalt weapons, armor, and tools. Cobalt gear is a massive upgrade over Iron equipment, offering:
- Higher defense values on armor
- Better damage output on weapons
- Increased durability on tools
If you’re planning to explore deeper zones, tackle tougher dungeons, or fight late-game bosses, Cobalt gear is pretty much essential. For tips on gathering Cobalt Ore itself, check our dedicated guide.
Upgrading Crafting Stations
Shadoweave Scraps are also used to upgrade certain crafting stations, like the Armorer’s Workbench. Higher-tier workbenches unlock better recipes and let you craft more advanced gear. For more info on upgrading workbenches, we’ve got a full breakdown.
Other Recipes
As you progress and unlock more memories, you might discover additional recipes that require Shadoweave Scraps. Keep an eye out for new crafting options as you explore.
Shadoweave Scraps vs. Other Cloth Materials
You might be wondering how Shadoweave Scraps compare to other cloth materials like Linen Scraps or Cindercloth Scraps.
Here’s the quick rundown:
- Linen Scraps – Early-game material from humanoid enemies; used for basic armor and workbench upgrades
- Cindercloth Scraps – Mid-game material from fire-based enemies; used for heat-resistant gear
- Shadoweave Scraps – Late-game material from Outlanders; used for Cobalt gear and advanced crafting
Each material serves a specific progression tier, so you’ll need all of them as you advance through Hytale’s zones.
Additional Farming Tips
- Farm at night: Some camps spawn additional enemies at night, giving you more targets and more drops
- Clear camps completely: Don’t just kill a few Outlanders and leave—clear the entire camp for maximum loot
- Loot everything: Chests, barrels, and containers often have bonus Shadoweave Scraps and other valuables
- Bring a backpack upgrade: You’ll collect a lot of loot, so having extra inventory space helps
- Team up: Outlander camps are easier (and more fun) when you play with friends
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get Shadoweave Scraps anywhere besides snow biomes?
Nope, Shadoweave Scraps are exclusive to Outlanders in snow/tundra biomes. You won’t find them in earlier zones, so you’ll need to venture into cold regions to farm them.
Do all Outlanders drop Shadoweave Scraps?
Yes, all Outlander types (fighters, archers, and mages) have a chance to drop Shadoweave Scraps. The drop rate is fairly high, so you should get at least a few scraps from each enemy you defeat.
How many Shadoweave Scraps do I need for a full set of Cobalt armor?
The exact amounts vary by piece, but expect to need several dozen Shadoweave Scraps for a complete set of Cobalt armor plus weapons and tools. Plan to farm multiple Outlander camps to gather enough materials.
What’s the easiest way to clear an Outlander camp solo?
Use a bow and keep your distance. Kite the melee fighters around the edges of the camp while picking them off one by one. Focus on killing archers and mages first since they’re the most dangerous. Don’t rush into the middle of the camp you’ll get surrounded and overwhelmed.
Shadoweave Scraps are essential for late-game progression in Hytale. While farming Outlanders in snow biomes can be challenging at first, once you’ve got the right gear and strategy down, it becomes a pretty efficient farming loop.
Set up a forward base, bring good equipment, use ranged weapons if possible, and don’t be afraid to retreat and heal if things get dicey. With teleporters in place, you can farm Shadoweave Scraps efficiently and keep your Cobalt gear crafting pipeline running smoothly.
Now get out there, take down some Outlanders, and upgrade to that shiny Cobalt armor. You’ve earned it.
