Where to Find Cindercloth Scraps in Hytale
Head to the Volcanic Layer
Cindercloth Scraps come from one specific location: the volcanic layer underground. This is the red-tinted zone you’ll hit after digging down through the surface layers, packed with Volcanic Cobble and rivers of lava. It’s not super deep, but you’ll need to punch through a layer of Cobblestone first before you reach the good stuff.
Pro tip: Instead of randomly digging straight down (never dig straight down, right?), look for natural chasms or cave openings on the surface. These give you a safer route down and—more importantly—an easier escape route once you’ve got your materials. Trust me, you don’t want to be stuck down there trying to pillar your way out with hostile mobs on your tail.
Which Mobs Drop Cindercloth Scraps in Hytale
Once you’re in the volcanic layer, you’re looking for two specific skeleton variants:
- Incandescent Skeleton Fighters – Black-boned skeletons wielding flaming swords
- Incandescent Skeleton Mages – Black-boned skeletons in red robes
Both of these fiery foes have a chance to drop Cindercloth Scraps when defeated. The drop rate seems pretty reasonable, so you shouldn’t need to grind for hours to get a decent stockpile. These enemies aren’t incredibly tough, but they can deal some decent damage definitely bring a shield to block those flame attacks.
Other Mobs in the Volcanic Layer
The volcanic layer isn’t exclusively home to Incandescent Skeletons. You’ll also run into:
- Firesteel Golems
- Magma Rhino Toads
- Goblins
None of these drop Cindercloth Scraps, but they’ll still try to ruin your day, so come prepared for combat. Fire resistance potions or gear wouldn’t hurt either, given the environment.
What Are Cindercloth Scraps Used For in Hytale?
Cindercloth Scraps are a key ingredient in crafting rare Adamantite gear—some of the best equipment in the game. Here’s the full list of what you can make:
Weapons:
- Adamantite Sword
- Adamantite Mace
- Adamantite Battleaxe
- Adamantite Daggers
- Adamantite Shortbow
Armor:
- Adamantite Helm
- Adamantite Cuirass
- Adamantite Gauntlets
- Adamantite Greaves
- Adamantite Shield
The catch? You’ll need access to a Tier 3 Armorer’s Workbench or Blacksmith’s Anvil to craft any of this gear. Getting your workbenches to Tier 3 is a serious grind that requires a ton of different materials, so plan accordingly. This isn’t early-game content—Cindercloth Scraps are part of your mid-to-late game progression.
Tips for Efficient Cindercloth Farming
- Bring plenty of torches: The volcanic layer is dark and dangerous. Light it up to prevent mob spawns and make navigation easier.
- Pack a shield: Those flaming sword attacks from Skeleton Fighters hurt. Blocking makes fights much more manageable.
- Use natural caves: Save time and resources by entering through surface openings rather than tunneling from scratch.
- Consider fire resistance: Whether through potions, enchantments, or gear, fire protection makes the volcanic layer much less punishing.
- Clear an area: Set up a small safe zone with torches where you can retreat if things get hairy.
FAQ
Can I find Cindercloth Scraps anywhere else in Hytale?
Nope, they’re exclusive to the volcanic layer underground. You’ll specifically need to defeat Incandescent Skeleton Fighters and Mages to get them.
How deep is the volcanic layer?
It’s not extremely deep you’ll dig through surface terrain and a Cobblestone layer before reaching it. The red tint and abundance of lava make it pretty obvious when you’ve arrived.
Do I need special gear to survive the volcanic layer?
While not strictly required, bringing a shield is highly recommended for blocking skeleton attacks. Fire resistance gear or potions will make your life easier, but solid armor and healing items can work if you’re careful.
How many Cindercloth Scraps do I need for a full Adamantite armor set?
The exact amounts aren’t specified, but since you’re crafting multiple pieces of rare gear, expect to farm a decent quantity. Stock up while you’re down there you don’t want to make multiple trips to the volcanic layer if you can avoid it
