Hides, furs and scales: which animals give what, how much skill each one needs, and what Osbert Barker the Tanner will pay for them.
How skinning works
- You need a knifeA Skinning Knife in your bags. Osbert Barker, the Tanner, gives you your first one with his quest; Garrick the Smith sells more.
- Skinning a bodyWalk up to the corpse and press E. It takes 3 seconds when you're new, down to 1.5 at 100. One skinner per body.
- A clean hide25% at 0 skill, rising steadily to 90% at 100.
- A missMost of the time the hide is still there to try again. One time in five it's ruined.
- Learning+0.01 Skinning every attempt, hit or miss.
- Bigger animalsA level L animal needs Skinning of (L - 1) x 5. Every 5 levels of animal also adds 1 to each hide you take.
- LeatherRaw Leather on an animal comes off as 2-3 Leather Scraps (+1 per 25 points of skill). Stitch 5 scraps into 1 Raw Leather.
- Fur and scalesCome off whole, +1 for every 50 points of skill.
