Legacy:Hardened Leather

Hardened Leather is leather treated with beeswax to strengthen it. It requires three pieces of Leather and two units of Beeswax or Candleberry wax, and may be used to create objects like the Traveller's Sack, Cutthroat Cuirass and Mine hole.

How to Acquire

You need a cauldron or clay cauldron with at least 2.5 litres of hot water to harden leather.

• Gather the 5 ingredients into your inventory: 3 Leather and 2 Beeswax or 2 Candleberry wax
• Right click a boiling Cauldron or Clay Cauldron to move into position and ready it for use
• Select the recipe: Craft > Leather Working > Hardened Leather
• Click the "Craft" button

Notes

Hardened Leather also counts as regular Leather in recipes, meaning it may be used as a substitute if you have no regular Leather available to you. However, since Hardened Leather uses Leather in its own recipe, it means you will have to remove newly crafted Hardened Leather from your inventory before attempting to make more or it will be used in the process. Do not use the "Craft All" button if attempting to make multiple pieces of Hardened Leather or some will be lost in this manner. Make them one piece at a time.

The resulting quality seems to be calculated by the following formula: (3*LeatherQ+2*WaxQ+WaterQ)/6 and is softcapped by your sqrt(dex*sewing). Cauldron or fuel quality doesn't seem to matter.
