The Scrap Glider is one of the best mobility tools added to Hytale in Update 7, and getting it takes a bit of work. Here's the short answer: you craft it at the Goblin Tinkerer's Workbench, which sits locked behind a laser door inside the Forgotten Temple. Before you can touch that workbench, you need to repair the broken generator next to it, unlock the boiler upgrade, hunt a rare world-event bear, and collect a lot of scraps. This guide walks through every step.
What do you need to craft the Scrap Glider?
The full recipe requires four materials, all sourced from The Guttering Hollows fragment:
| Material | Quantity | Where to get it |
|---|---|---|
| Scraps | 50 | Goblin enemies and chests in The Guttering Hollows |
| Dubious Assembly | 6 | Crafted at the Goblin Tinkerer's Workbench (25 Scraps + 1 Void Crystal Shard each) |
| Spider Silk | 3 | Looted in The Guttering Hollows |
| Voidtaken Grizzly Hide | 1 | Dropped by Voidtaken Grizzly Bears during the "Predator Spotted" world event |
The 6 Dubious Assembly pieces each cost 25 Scraps and 1 Void Crystal Shard to craft, so the real scrap cost for the full glider is 200 total (50 direct + 150 for the assemblies). Plan your farming runs accordingly.

Step 1: How do you unlock the Goblin Tinkerer's Workbench?
The workbench is inside the Forgotten Temple, in the goblin-themed building to the left of the memory shrine. Friendly goblins are inside, but a laser barrier blocks the back room where the workbench sits.
To remove the lasers, interact with the broken Goblin Power Generator next to the blocked doorway. It asks for 10 Scraps to repair. If this is your first time touching the generator, the interaction also triggers Goblin Breaches to start appearing across the world. These breaches are your entry point to The Guttering Hollows, which is where you get scraps.
Once you have 10 Scraps and hand them over, the lasers drop and the workbench is accessible. For a more detailed walkthrough of this step, check out the Goblin Power Generator repair guide.

Step 2: How do you unlock the Scrap Glider recipe?
Most recipes at the Goblin Tinkerer's Workbench start locked. The Scrap Glider sits behind the Boiler upgrade, which is one of three machines along the wall to the right of the workbench. Repairing the Boiler unlocks the remaining gadget recipes, including the glider.
Boiler repair cost:
- Dubious Assembly x2
- Spider Silk x2
Dubious Assembly is crafted at the workbench itself by default (no unlock needed) and costs 25 Scraps plus 1 Void Crystal Shard per piece. Both Spider Silk and Void Crystal Shards drop inside The Guttering Hollows.
The other two machines unlock different content. The Compressor (60 Scraps + 1 Bundled Treasure) unlocks decoration recipes. The Engine (10 Void Crystal Shards + 1 Voidheart + 1 Enkindled Sigil) unlocks fragment key recipes. You only need the Boiler for the glider, so you can skip the others for now.
Step 3: How do you farm enough scraps?
Scraps stack up to 250 and drop from most goblin enemy types inside The Guttering Hollows. Here's what to expect from each source:
NPC drops:
- Goblin Burner: 1-3 Scraps
- Goblin Scrapper: 1-3 Scraps
- Goblin Lobber: 1-3 Scraps
- Goblin Miner: 3-5 Scraps
- Goblin Guardian: 3-5 Scraps
- Goblin Feastmaster: 20-30 Scraps
Chest loot:
- Hollow Ancient Chests: 4-8 Scraps
- Goblin Caches: 14-20 Scraps
- Tier Chests (TGH): 6-40 Scraps
- Veilbound Coffers: 20-120 Scraps
The mistake most players make is spending too long on small goblins when a single Veilbound Coffer can net over 100 Scraps. Prioritize chest hunting over farming individual enemies. You need scraps for other materials too, so check out this Linen Scraps farming guide if you want to understand how scrap-type materials work across different zones.
Step 4: Crafting the Scrap Glider
With the Boiler repaired and all materials in your inventory, return to the Goblin Tinkerer's Workbench and craft the glider. The full material list one more time:
- Dubious Assembly x6 (requires 150 Scraps + 6 Void Crystal Shards to craft)
- Scraps x50
- Spider Silk x3
- Voidtaken Grizzly Hide x1
The only genuinely tricky ingredient is the Voidtaken Grizzly Hide. Voidtaken Grizzly Bears only appear during the "Predator Spotted" world event inside The Guttering Hollows. Enter the fragment, explore, and watch for the event notification. When it triggers, find and kill the bear. The hide drops at 100%, so one successful event is all you need.
What else can you craft at the Goblin Tinkerer's Workbench?
The glider is one of several gadgets available once the Boiler is repaired. The full gadget list includes:
| Gadget | Key materials |
|---|---|
| Scrap Glider | Dubious Assembly x6, Scraps x50, Spider Silk x3, Voidtaken Grizzly Hide x1 |
| Rocket Boots | Boom Powder x6, Dubious Assembly x4, Scraps x30, Voidtaken Grizzly Hide x1 |
| Hookshot | Boom Powder x3, Dubious Assembly x1, Hook Anchor x1, Iron Ingot x3, Scraps x12 |
| Bangstick | Boom Powder x8, Scraps x10, Spider Silk x1 |
| Spyglass | Copper Ingot x10, Scraps x25, Void Crystal Shards x1 |
| Scrap Drill | Dubious Assembly x2, Enkindled Sigil x2, Iron Ingot x15, Scraps x100 |
The workbench also produces runestones (ability and support runes) from Runestone Shards by default, with no upgrade required. If you want to plan your full progression through goblin tech, the Hytale guides collection has everything you need.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Skipping the generator repair: You cannot access the workbench at all without fixing the generator first. No shortcuts.
- Forgetting the Boiler: The Scrap Glider recipe is locked by default. Repair the Boiler before wondering why you can't see the recipe.
- Underestimating scrap costs: 200 total scraps sounds manageable until you factor in the Boiler repair and other crafts. Run multiple breach sessions before committing.
- Missing the Voidtaken Grizzly event: Players sometimes leave The Guttering Hollows before the "Predator Spotted" event fires. Stay in the fragment and give it time.
FAQ
Can I use an old world to start Chapter 1? Yes. Any existing Exploration Mode world works. Just head to the Forgotten Temple and interact with the generator to begin.
Does the Goblin Tinkerer's Workbench work at my base? The workbench and all associated machines are classified as Developer items and do not appear in the Creative item list. They can be obtained with /give commands, but placing them at your base carries risk of unexpected behavior, especially after updates. Back up your world before attempting it.
How long does it take to farm all the scraps? A single Goblin Breach run takes under 10 minutes and can yield enough scraps to repair the generator. Full glider farming across multiple runs typically takes an hour or less depending on chest luck and whether the "Predator Spotted" event fires quickly.
What does the Scrap Glider actually do? It lets you glide through the air, extending jump distance and controlling descent. Gliders existed in game files before Update 7 but the Scrap Glider is the first obtainable version through normal gameplay.
For more on getting around the world efficiently, the Hytale teleportation guide covers fast travel setup that pairs well with regular breach farming runs.
