Damaged chitin is an item dropped by the Exiled kalphites in the Exiled Kalphite Hive. At level 60 Smithing, it can be used on an anvil to turn each piece into Chitin scraps, for 10 experience a piece. The amount received is dependent on your Smithing level. Chitin scraps can then be used to repair drygore weaponry; 10,000 chitin scraps are required to repair a main-hand drygore weapon from 0% charge, and 5,000 are required to repair an off-hand.
According to the Wealth Evaluator, Damaged Chitin has a value of 1gp per piece, despite being worth over 7,000 when processed into Chitin scraps.

Smithing level and yield
At 99 Smithing a maximum of 40 scraps (worth 3,600) are made even if boosted by a smithing cape to 100.
It should be noted that players cannot smith damaged chitin with the Assist System, and since it is untradeable a player will need 60 smithing (boostable) to get any use from it.
Trivia
- Chitin is a type of natural long-chain polymer found in the exoskeletons of arthropods (insects and crustaceans), in the radulas of mollusks, in the beaks and internal shells of cephalopods, and in the cell walls of fungi. Chitin is similar to cellulose in structure and is similar to keratin in function.
