How to get storm leather in Hytale

Storm leather, a late-game resource in Hytale, is used to craft splendid armor sets, overpowered weapons, and a much-needed backpack upgrade to obtain more inventory space. It's all the more frustrating, then, that storm leather doesn't drop like other hide and leather resources.

Don't let that stop you from improving your backpack, though. Here's how to get the required Hytale storm leather anyway.

How to get storm leather in Hytale

At the time of this writing, there is no storm leather in Hytale's Adventure Mode yet. This may be a bit confusing, as storm leather is nonetheless mentioned in various crafting recipes, such as mithril weapons and armor. Mithril, too, hasn't been added to Hytale's natural resource spawns.

The main reason why you might want to get storm leather, however, is the second backpack upgrade, available at the workbench. Although you should be able to find the other required resources, adamantite and voidhearts, getting stuck on the 16 storm leather pieces is frustrating.

Luckily, a brief switch to Creative Mode will enable you to grab some storm leather. Here's how to do this:

• Type "/op self" and press enter.
• Press the "O" button.
• Open the item menu and type "storm leather" in the search bar. Transport the desired amount of storm leather to your inventory.
• Press "O" again to leave Creative Mode and return to Adventure Mode.

Now you can craft any Hytale recipe that requires storm leather. Since Hytale is currently in early access mode, storm leather is expected to arrive as an enemy drop in the future.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for other hides and leather types currently available in Hytale, including light, medium, and heavy leather. Medium and heavy leather, along with iron and cobalt, are enough to reach the first backpack upgrade.

Once you're able to obtain storm leather in Hytale through regular means, we will update this guide accordingly.
