How to make Hard Leather in RuneScape: Dragonwilds
You can make Hard Leatherusing the Tanner’s Kit. It might seem a bit confusing since the recipe says to use a Tannery. However, the Tannery build only has one crafting slot, while the Hard Leather recipe requires two, which the Tanner’s Kit provides. After you’ve obtained this build, useone Adhesive and two Leathersto make Hard Leather inRuneScape: Dragonwilds.
TheAdhesivemust be made with Swamp Tar, found in the Whispering Swamp. As for Leather, simply toss some animal hide scraps onto the Tannery and let the process work. Combine the two to get the Hard Leather, a resource much more resilient than standard Leather. Use it to enhance your gear and increase your survivability.
How to unlock and craft Tanner’s Kit in RuneScape: Dragonwilds
If you aren’t sure how to make the Tanner’s Kit, let’s go over the resources:
Of all the Tanner’s Kit resources,Bronze Baris the most crucial, as itunlocks the recipe. Even if you have the other materials, the kit won’t appear in your Recipes list until you acquire the Bronze Bars. You may also need to be at a specific level within the Construction skill, which gradually increases as you build items andstructures.
Each resource required for Tanner’s Kit can be relatively challenging to get, considering that they all correlate to a particular crafting station. I’ve broken down the necessary recipes you need and bolded the ingredients that unlock the build:
First, set your sights on theCoarse Threadand Adhesive, which you can get pretty early on when looting from animals and roaming the Whispering Swamp. The Bronze Bar and Ash Plank are where things get more challenging, mostly because getting them means venturing into dangerous territory.
You must getVault Shardsfrom the formidable Vaults (marked with blue icons on the map) to unlock the Furnace for Bronze Bars. It’s essential to come prepared, as it will force you to battle enemies who will drop the shards.
You’ll also need to prepare yourself for the following stage, where you must acquireTin and Copper Orefrom the treacherous Fractured Plains. These two ores are used to craft Bronze Bars, unlocking new recipes beyond just the Tanner’s Kit, such as the Sawmill, Loom, and Smithing Forge. With Bronze Bars in hand, you’re ready to tackle the final step: building the Sawmill and producing those essential Ash Planks. Now, you can pat yourself on the back for making it this far and reward your efforts by making the Hard Leather.
