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. Fill a water container, such as a Bucket, using either a Well or open water source. Alternatively you can use a Wine Barrel.
• 6. Hold the full container on your mouse cursor and right-click the Tanning Tub to fill it (if you're using a Wine Barrel then lift it and right-click the Tub). The Tanning Tub must have 60L (six full Buckets) of water before it may be used.
  • The tub sprite will change when there is enough water.
• 7. Obtain a piece of Tree Bark from a fully grown tree.
• 8. Place the bark into the tub using the same method as with the water. One piece of bark is all that is needed per tub.
• 9. Wait 8 real-time (one full in-game day) hours for the hide to turn into leather (see Notes below for an alternative).
• 10. Retrieve your finished leather.

Notes

• Each tub can only hold one hide at a time. 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.

• The real time of completion can be cut short to about 40 minutes or adversely increased to any length of time up to infinite. After step 8, place the tub in a object's inventory, such as a boat, cart, or leanto, then remove the tub. This will result in the leather progressing to 92% completion. Utilizing this bug will lower the leather completion time to around 40 minutes. The area must remain loaded once the tub is placed back on the ground, including indoor areas.

• Though it only takes 60L of water to prepare a tanning tub, each can hold up to 100L of water. 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:

$\operatorname {Q_{leather}} ={\frac {3Q_{hide}+Q_{bark}+Q_{water}+Q_{tub}}{6}}$
