If you’ve been wandering around Hytale‘s world for a while, you’ve probably stumbled across those stunning glowing blue forests that look straight out of a fantasy movie. That ethereal glow isn’t just for show—those trees drop Azure Logs, one of the most useful resources in the game.
Azure Logs are your ticket to crafting teleporters for instant fast travel, building powerful ice-based magic staffs, and upgrading your crafting stations. Basically, they’re a game-changer. Let’s dive into where to find them, how to farm them efficiently, and all the cool stuff you can make with them.
Where to Find Azure Logs in Hytale
Azure Logs come from Azure Forests, which are mostly found in Zone 1. These forests are pretty hard to miss once you know what you’re looking for.
Spotting Azure Forests on Your Map
Open your map and look for areas with blue-green terrain. Azure Forests usually spawn near regular green forests, so if you’re exploring woodland areas, keep your eyes peeled for that distinctive blue glow. The trees themselves have bright blue trunks and leaves, and they’re packed pretty densely together.
When you zoom in on the map, those tall blue trees stand out like a beacon. Trust me, once you see your first Azure Forest, you won’t forget what they look like.
How to Harvest Azure Logs in Hytale
Chopping down these magical trees is straightforward, but there are a few tricks to maximize your haul.
What You’ll Need
Just grab an Axe—any tier will work. Even a basic wooden axe gets the job done, though a better axe speeds things up considerably.
Harvesting Process
- Find a blue tree (ignore the regular green ones mixed in)
- Aim for the bottom of the trunk and start chopping
- Keep hitting until the tree cracks and falls
- Collect the loot—around 30 Azure Logs per tree, plus some saplings
Pro tip: Hold right-click for auto-chop mode. This lets you continuously harvest without spamming your mouse button, and your backpack will fill up fast.
Bonus Resources
While you’re in the Azure Forest, don’t ignore the water puddles! Dive in and grab some Azure Kelp—those purple and white seaweed flowers floating around. You’ll need them for several recipes, especially teleporters.
One full Azure Forest can net you hundreds of logs in just a few minutes of chopping. It’s honestly one of the most satisfying farming loops in the game.
What Can You Make with Azure Logs?
Alright, you’ve got a backpack bursting with glowing blue wood. Now what? Azure Logs unlock some seriously powerful crafting options, but you’ll need the right workbench first.
Setting Up the Arcanist’s Workbench
Before you can use Azure Logs for their best recipes, you need an Arcanist’s Workbench. This magical crafting station is essential for advanced items, but getting it requires some prep work:
Step 1: Upgrade Your Basic Workbench to Tier 2
You’ll need:
- 30 Copper Ingots – Smelt Copper Ore in a furnace
- 20 Iron Ingots – Same process with Iron Ore
- 20 Linen Scraps – Farm these from skeleton enemies (guide here)
Step 2: Craft the Arcanist’s Workbench
Once your Workbench is Tier 2, craft the Arcanist upgrade with:
- 10 Thorium Ingots – Mine Thorium Ore in desert biomes
- 30 Linen Scraps – More skeleton farming
- 20 Essence of the Void – Drop from void enemies in caves at night (farming guide)
Yeah, it’s a bit of a grind, but it’s totally worth it. For a full breakdown on upgrading workbenches, check out our detailed guide.
Best Uses for Azure Logs
Now that you’ve got the Arcanist’s Workbench set up, here’s what you can actually craft with those Azure Logs.
1. Teleporters (Most Important!)
This is the big one. Teleporters let you instantly travel across the entire map, saving you hours of walking and making exploration infinitely more enjoyable.
Teleporter Recipe:
- 8 Azure Logs
- 2 Azure Kelp
- 10 Stone
Once crafted, place teleporters at key locations—your base, mining spots, resource farms—and link them together. You can name each one and select destinations from a dropdown menu. For a complete guide on setting up your teleporter network, check out our teleporter and fast travel guide.
2. Ice Crystal Staff (Magic Combat)
If you’re into magic combat, the Ice Crystal Staff is a solid weapon that deals frost damage and looks absolutely sick.
Ice Crystal Staff Recipe:
- 10 Azure Logs
- 8 Silver Ingots
- 1 Sapphire
- 20 Essence of Ice
This staff is perfect for crowd control and dealing with groups of enemies. The ice effects are visually stunning, too.
3. Building and Decoration
Azure Logs also work as a beautiful building material. The glowing blue wood adds a magical vibe to any structure, whether you’re building a wizard tower, an enchanted library, or just want some unique glass windows with blue accents.
Quick note: Some recipes only unlock after visiting the Forgotten Temple and recording memories there. If you’re not seeing certain options at your Arcanist’s Workbench, that’s probably why.
How Teleporters Work (Quick Overview)
Since teleporters are the main reason you’ll be farming Azure Logs, here’s a quick rundown on using them:
- Craft at least two teleporters using the recipe above
- Place the first teleporter at your home base
- Press F to interact and give it a clear name like “Main Base”
- Place the second teleporter at another location (mine, farm, dungeon entrance, etc.)
- Interact with the second one and select your first teleporter as the destination
- Walk through and you’re instantly transported
You can build entire networks with dozens of teleporters, linking them across different biomes and zones. The dropdown menu lets you change destinations anytime, so one teleporter can connect to multiple locations as needed. It’s incredibly flexible and makes late-game exploration so much smoother.

Farming Tips for Azure Logs
If you’re planning to build a massive teleporter network (and you should), you’ll need a lot of Azure Logs. Here’s how to farm them efficiently:
- Replant saplings: Azure trees drop saplings when you chop them down. Plant these near your base to create your own renewable Azure Log farm
- Bring a good axe: Higher-tier axes chop faster, saving you time
- Mark the forest on your map: If you find a big Azure Forest, place a marker so you can return easily
- Farm in batches: Chop down entire sections at once rather than picking individual trees—it’s way more efficient
- Watch your inventory space: Azure Logs stack, but 200+ logs still takes up room
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I grow Azure Trees at my base?
Yes! Azure trees drop saplings when chopped down. Plant these saplings anywhere with enough space and light, and you’ll have your own renewable Azure Log farm right at home. It takes a bit of time for them to grow, but it beats traveling to distant forests every time you need more logs.
Do I need a specific axe to chop Azure Trees?
Nope! Any axe works, from basic wooden axes to top-tier metal ones. Better axes just chop faster, so use the best one you have to speed up the farming process.
Are Azure Logs used for anything besides teleporters and staffs?
They’re primarily used for magical crafting recipes at the Arcanist’s Workbench, but they’re also a great building material if you want that glowing blue aesthetic. Some players use them for decorative builds, magical-themed bases, or fantasy-style structures.
What if I can’t find an Azure Forest?
Azure Forests are most common in Zone 1, usually near regular green forests. If you’re having trouble, explore the edges of woodland areas and check your map for blue-green colored terrain. They’re relatively common once you know what to look for. You could also play with friends and split up to cover more ground.
Azure Logs might seem like just another resource at first, but they’re actually one of the most valuable materials in Hytale. They unlock fast travel through teleporters, let you craft powerful magic weapons, and give you gorgeous building options.
The initial setup—gathering materials, upgrading workbenches, farming the logs themselves—takes some effort, but once you’ve got your teleporter network running, you’ll never want to go back. Being able to zip across the map in seconds completely changes how you explore, gather resources, and manage your bases.
So grab an axe, head to the nearest glowing blue forest, and start chopping. Your future self will thank you when you’re teleporting home instead of walking for ten minutes.
Happy harvesting!
