How to Craft Hard Leather in RuneScape Dragonwilds

At some point in the journey of every Runescape Dragonwilds explorer, common clothing no longer offers sufficient protection – quite literally.

In a tougher battle now, your current armor seems quite fragile, like a wet piece of goblin parchment. To improve protection, you’ll need sturdy Hard Leather, which is crucial but can be challenging to craft if you lack experience.

Perhaps you’re approaching a challenging boss battle soon, or perhaps you feel like you’ve been through a rough tussle with a scarecrow. Regardless of the reason, it’s high time you become tougher, and this guide will help transform you from weak to intimidating.

How to get Hard Leather in Dragonwilds

To obtain High-Quality Leather, enhance your Tannery by using a Tanner’s Kit, then place two pieces of Raw Leather and one bottle of Adhesive inside the tannery for processing.

1 of 5

Let’s go over it step-by-step:

Craft a Tannery

The work station that produces Hard Leather is the Tannery. To build one, you’ll need:

12 Ash Logs: Obtained from cutting Ash Trees or foraging logs.
4 Animal Bones: Obtained from animals like Cows.
2 Coarse Thread: Produced from Animal Fur or Flax using a Spinning Wheel.

Craft a Kiln

To extract adhesive from swamp tar and charcoal from ash logs, you’ll require a kiln. Here’s what you’ll need to construct it:

1. Materials for the Kiln: (Specify the type of materials needed for building the kiln)
2. Swamp Tar (for making adhesive)
3. Ash Logs (for producing charcoal)

This way, you can create a self-explanatory and easy-to-understand sentence that highlights the purpose of each item.

8 Ash Logs: Obtained from cutting Ash Trees or foraging logs.
20 Stone: Obtained by mining Stone spots or foraging stones on the ground.
6 Clay: Obtained by mining Clay spots.
10 Fire Runes: Obtained by mining rune sites.

Once built, produce 6 Adhesive and at least 8 Charcoal. Swamp Tar is found in the Whispering Swamp.

Craft a Furnace

You’ll need a Furnace to smelt Bronze bars. To build one, you’ll need:

24 Stones: Obtained by mining Stone spots or foraging stones on the ground.
8 Clay: Obtained by mining Clay spots.
4 Charcoal: Produced with a Kiln using Ash logs.
10 Fire Runes: Obtained by mining rune sites.
8 Vault Shards: Obtained inside vaults.

After construction, create ten bronze bars using copper and tin ore, both of which can be mined at tin and ore mining locations.

Craft a Sawmill

To create Ash Planks from logs, you’ll require a Sawmill. However, if you haven’t learned the crafting recipe for it yet, ensure that you first melt some bronze bars to acquire the necessary knowledge.

18 Ash Logs: Obtained from cutting Ash Trees or foraging logs.
4 Bronze Bars: Smelt using a Furnace.
8 Stones: Obtained by mining Stone spots or foraging stones on the ground.

Once built, produce 18 Ash planks.

Craft the Tanner’s Kit

To access the enhanced Tanning Station, follow these steps:

1. Collect the necessary materials:
– Resources for Upgrading Tannery Slot: (mention the specific resources here)
– Materials for Hard Leather Crafting: (mention the specific materials needed for making Hard Leather)

Once you have gathered all the required resources, proceed with upgrading your Tannery slot and start crafting Hard Leather!

6 Bronze Bars: Smelt from mined Copper and Tin
8 Coarse Thread: Made from Flax at a Spinning Wheel
6 Adhesive: Process Swamp Tar in the Kiln
18 Ash Planks: Obtained by processing Ash Logs via the Sawmill

Set it up next to the Tannery to get the benefits.

Hard Leather recipe

Insert the following into your upgraded Tannery:

2 Leather
1 Adhesive

Instead, Abyssal Demons in the Whispering Swamp might drop Hard Leather, but the chance is quite low, making it not generally worth fighting them unless you’re already focusing on farming these demons.

If you’re looking for a productive hobby or strategy in your game, consider taking up crafting. It does require a fair amount of resources, but the reward is worth it as Hard Leather provides crucial equipment for the mid to late stages of gameplay. So, take the plunge and start creating!
