Tanning is the process of turning Raw Hides into leather using Tanning Fluid and Tanning Tubs.

## How to Make Leather

In order to make leather, follow the steps below. Leather isn't exactly hard to make, but it is a time-consuming process.

1. Acquire a Raw Hide from a Wild Beast.
2. Dry the Raw Hide by placing it in a Drying Frame.
3. Wait 14-29 real-time hours for the hide to finish drying.
4. Take the Dried Hide and place it in a Tanning Tub.
5. Fill Your Tanning Tub with Water.
6. Gather four pieces of Treebark from a Tree.
7. Right-click the Treebark into the tanning tub to create Tanning Fluid.
8. Wait 30 real-time hours for the hide to turn into leather.

## Notes

• Tanning tubs need a minimum 20L of fluid to operate, but can hold up to 40L of fluid.
• As leather is produced, the volume of fluid goes down.
• Tanning Fluid is consumed upon creation of a unit of leather, not as a function of time.
• If the level of tanning fluid becomes too low, The tanning process will stop (but not reset)
• This can be seen on the tub graphic as no fluid showing. Add more tanning fluid to finish the process
• 2 Treebark or 1 Exquisite Rot is required to make 5% concentration per Tanning Tub
• While the necessary concentration of tanning fluid is 5% (2 treebark per tub), you may increase the tanning fluid concentration to 10% (9 treebark per tub).
• This has no effect on tanning speed, but if your treebark quality is higher than your water quality, you can incrase your tanning fluid quality by adding more bark.
• Each tub can hold a maximum of 4 inventory spaces of hide at a time, ie 4x Rabbit Fur, 2x Fox Hide, or 1x Aurochs Hide.
• Tanning fluid can be made directly in containers such as barrels, buckets, and tanning tubs.

## Quality Formulas

Tanning Tub Q = ${\displaystyle {\frac {_{q}AvgBoard*2+_{q}AvgBlock}{3}}}$

Tanning Fluid Q = ${\displaystyle {\frac {_{q}Water+_{q}TreeBark*0.2*concentartion}{1+0.2*concentartion}}}$

Leather Q = ${\displaystyle {\frac {_{q}Hide*3+_{q}Fluid*2+_{q}Tub}{6}}}$
