Leather is used to produce a variety of equipment.

How to Acquire

The Leather Working skill is required in order to make leather. Leather is not difficult to make, but its creation is a time-consuming process.

• 1. Acquire a Raw Bear Hide, Raw Hide, Raw Fox Hide, Fresh Rabbit Fur, or Raw Sheep Skin.
• 2. Dry the hide by placing it in a Drying Frame.
• 3. Wait for the hide to finish drying. It takes 8 hours (one full in-game day) to dry most furs, the exception being bear furs, which take 16 hours (two full in-game days).
• 4. Take the dried hide and place it in a Tanning Tub.
• 5. Add at least 20L of Tanning Fluid
• 6. Wait 30 real-time hours for the hide to turn into leather (see Notes below for an alternative).
• 7. Retrieve your finished leather.

Notes

• Each tub can only hold 4 slots of hides. The amount of leather received is equal to the size of the hide used. Dried bear hide and dried hide (boar, cow, deer) provide four leather, dried fox hide and dried sheep skin provide two leather, and rabbit fur provides one leather. You can add multiple hides to fill the 2x2 space.

• Though it only takes 20L of fluid to prepare a tanning tub, each can hold up to 40L of fluid. Filling the tub beyond the minimum amount results in less preparation time for future leather production.

Quality

The quality of leather seems to be determined by the following equation:

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