If you’re one of the millions jumping into the newly released Hytale, you’re probably looking to slowly work towards acquiring the best gear in the game—Mithril.
Mithril appears to be the highest-tier gear in Hytale right now, but getting it isn’t as easy as the other Ores. Copper can be found practically anywhere, and even Thorium can be easy to obtain if you know where to look, but Mithril? It’s a whole other story.
Here’s the latest regarding Mithril Ore in Hytale, and why it is so hard to find.
Best Location To Find Mithril Ore In Hytale
As things stand, Mithril Ore cannot be found in Exploration Mode in Hytale, despite the Ore being available in Creative.
The fact that Mithril Ore, as well as its crafted items, can be found in Creative Mode has confused a lot of people, and reasonably so. If it’s available in that game mode, then surely it’s available in the other, right?
Well, it’s not that cut and dry. As things stand, Hytale is in Early Access, and there are a handful of items in the game that haven’t been configured for the more popular Exploration mode.
One of those is, unfortunately, Mithril Ore, and by extension, all of the Mithril items. It’s rumoured to arrive in Exploration Mode with a new Zone, but until that’s added or it’s implemented elsewhere, the Ore remains unobtainable.
What Are Mithril Ingots Used For In Hytale?
So far, it appears that Mithril Ingots will be used to craft various gear items like weapons, tools, and armor.
These items can be seen as craftable in the various workstations, which adds to the confusion about whether Mithril Ore can be found in Exploration Mode. However, it seems like it’s a work in progress, like much of Hytale, and you’ll have to wait before you can begin to craft Mithril gear.
Even if Mithril Ore was available in Hytale right now, the other resource you’ll need to craft Mithril gear—Storm Leather—also isn’t available in Exploration Mode. Fingers crossed that in an upcoming Hytale update, Mithril items will be truly implemented into the game.
