Let’s be real—nobody wants to spend half their gaming session running back and forth across Hytale‘s massive world. That’s where Teleporters come in clutch. These magical structures let you zip across the map instantly, whether you’re heading back to your base or exploring distant biomes. Setting up a teleporter network early on is one of the smartest moves you can make, and honestly? It’s not as complicated as it sounds.
Here’s everything you need to know about crafting Teleporters and setting up your own fast travel system in Hytale.
What You’ll Need: The Arcanist’s Workbench in Hytale
Before you can craft Teleporters, you need access to an Arcanist’s Workbench. This isn’t something you can whip up in five minutes—it requires some legwork, mining, and combat. But once you’ve got it, you’re golden.
Step 1: Build a Basic Workbench
First things first—craft a standard Workbench using your Pocket Crafting menu. Just press Tab, then click the hammer icon next to your character portrait. Easy enough.
Step 2: Upgrade to Tier 2
Now comes the grind. You’ll need to upgrade that Workbench to Tier 2, which requires:
- 30 Copper Ingots – Smelt Copper Ore you find underground
- 20 Iron Ingots – Same deal with Iron Ore
- 20 Linen Scraps – Drop from humanoid enemies, so you’ll need to do some combat (more on Linen Scraps here)
Pro tip: Stock up on ores while you’re down there. You’ll thank yourself later.
Step 3: Craft the Arcanist’s Workbench
With your upgraded Workbench ready, it’s time to craft the Arcanist’s Workbench itself. You’ll need:
- 10 Thorium Ingots – Found by mining Thorium Ore in desert biomes underground
- 30 Linen Scraps – Yep, more humanoid farming
- 20 Essence of the Void – These drop from void enemies that spawn at night (check out this guide for farming tips)
The void enemies can be a bit annoying, but they’re not too tough once you’ve got decent gear. Just be ready for some nighttime combat sessions.
Crafting Your First Teleporter in Hytale
Alright, you’ve got the Arcanist’s Workbench set up. Now for the fun part—actually making a Teleporter. Head to your new workbench and gather these materials:
- 2 Azure Kelp – Found in pools of water in azure forests (those purple and white flowers)
- 8 Azure Logs – Chop down trees in the same azure forest biomes
- 10 Stones – Basic resource, you’ve probably got a chest full already
Finding Azure Forests
Azure forests show up as blue-green areas on your map. They’re pretty distinct, so you shouldn’t have trouble spotting them. Once you’re there, just start chopping down those gorgeous blue trees and grab the Azure Kelp from any water pools you see. The purple and white flowers are your Azure Kelp—don’t overlook them.
Note: If the Teleporter option isn’t showing up at your Arcanist’s Workbench, you might need to record more memories at the Forgotten Temple. It’s part of the game’s progression system.
Setting Up Your Teleporter Network in Hytale
You’ve crafted your Teleporters—now it’s time to deploy them and start fast traveling like a boss.
Placing Your First Teleporter
- Place a Teleporter at a location you want to travel to (your base, a mining spot, whatever)
- Interact with it and give it a clear, descriptive name (trust me, “Base 1” beats “sdkfjhsdf”)
- Done! That’s your first waypoint
Linking Teleporters
Here’s where the magic happens:
- Place a second Teleporter anywhere else on the map
- Interact with it and look at the dropdown menu at the top
- Select your first Teleporter from that list
- Walk through—and boom, instant travel
You can build as many Teleporters as you want and create a massive fast-travel network spanning the entire map. Even better? You can change a Teleporter’s destination anytime through that same dropdown menu. So if you’ve got one Teleporter and three destinations, just swap the target whenever you need to go somewhere different.
Pro Tips for Teleporter Networks
- Label smartly: Use names like “Main Base,” “Desert Mine,” or “Azure Forest” so you know exactly where you’re going
- Strategic placement: Put Teleporters near resource-rich areas, quest hubs, and crafting stations
- Protect them: Consider building small shelters around your Teleporters to keep them safe
- Pair them up: Having two Teleporters at your main base (one for each direction) can save you headaches
Why Teleporters Are a Game-Changer
Look, you could spend hours running across Hytale’s world on foot (or on a horse), but why would you? Teleporters save you time, reduce backtracking frustration, and let you focus on the fun stuff—building, exploring, and adventuring. Once you’ve got a solid network set up, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.
Plus, they’re perfect for multiplayer sessions. Your friends will love having quick access to shared bases and farms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move a Teleporter after placing it?
Yep! Just break it and place it somewhere else. The Teleporter itself can be picked back up, so don’t worry about losing your materials if you change your mind about placement.
Do Teleporters work across different biomes?
Absolutely. That’s the whole point! You can link a Teleporter in the desert to one in a snowy biome, an azure forest, or anywhere else. Distance doesn’t matter.
How many Teleporters can I link together?
There’s no hard limit to how many you can build and link. You can create a huge network with dozens of waypoints if you want. Just make sure you name them clearly, or you’ll get lost in your own menu.
What if I don’t have Essence of the Void yet?
You’ll need to wait until nighttime and hunt void enemies. They’re the only source of Essence of the Void, so this is non-negotiable for getting the Arcanist’s Workbench. Consider setting up some defenses near your base and farming them as they spawn.
Building your first Teleporter network might feel like a bit of a grind—especially with all that Thorium mining and void enemy farming—but it’s 100% worth the effort. Fast travel transforms Hytale from a walking simulator into a smooth, efficient adventure where you can actually get things done.
So get out there, set up that Arcanist’s Workbench, craft some Teleporters, and start zipping around the map like you own the place. Because, well, you kinda do.
Happy travels!
