Hytale FAQs
Yes, the Arcanist’s Workbench is definitely worth crafting for the Teleporter alone. With the Teleporter, you’ll unlock fast travel and, if used right, you’ll never get lost in any of the caves.
No, the Arcanist’s Workbench Tier 1 is currently the max tier. We might receive an Arcanist’s Workbench upgrade with future updates, which will allow us to craft even more weapons and totems.
No, the Builder’s Workbench is a standalone workbench that has no connection to unlocking/upgrading of other workbenches. You only need to upgrade your classic Workbench to Workbench Tier 2 to unlock and craft the Arcanist’s Workbench.
