Repairing

Durability damage on hide armor is permanent and cannot be repaired as of v1.21.5.[1]

Order repair from a blacksmith

 

Armor may be repaired by the blacksmith at Nadiya Village . 200 durability will be repaired for a cost of 10 rusty gears . (This is not affected by the lack of a repair recipe present as of v1.21.5)

History

  • Bear hide armor was teased 7 Apr 2025 in the devlog channel of the Discord server: "Soon™️ you'll be able to have your revenge."[2]
  • It was added in version 1.21.0-pre.1 - Story Chapter 2 Redux: "A new craftable trophy armor with average stats."[3]

Notes

The recipes for body armor and leg armor require huge pelts. Those can only be obtained from bears. It's unclear whether non-species-specific huge pelts will be removed from the game.
