Leather farming should be based on Life Skills

Currently the situation as I assess it is.

Leathers are overvalued and at low stock because people who spam Shadow Mission mainly high level players neglect the Leather drops.

The only real way a Life Skill player can farm Leather is to rank Cooking, rank Ingredient Hunting, pray they are not high on CP, use a tendering Pot and farm Bears which still has low drop rates.

I think its about time this should be solved through introducing Tanning. Stop basing stock of a Mat based on players that don't care about it and instead enable Life Skill players to farm Leather themself.

ps. I went through the entire day buying Fine Leather of Auction and it was empty after around 200pcs bought. RIP Blue Prism.

    That sounds like a great idea!

    There definitely needs to be some change. Fine and Finest Leather and Straps are used in so much of tailoring and smithing, and they are very hard to acquire, or incredibly expensive. I could see tanning being an option, if animals dropped skins or pelts, but they don't. Are you suggesting that that be added, as well?

    I'm for being able to skin animals for hide and leathers with the gathering knife but the devs aren't for it according to how they word the cheap leather description. It'd be great if they treated it like firewood and let you combine for higher quality.

    Oh, I wasn't suggesting that you actually have to skin the animal. I was thinking it would just be a drop, like a Large Meat or something. In order to actually skin it, you'd have to have a corpse, and corpses go "poof". The devs definitely aren't going to let you skin an animal while it's still alive.

    I doubt that they'd let you combine lower quality pelts to get one of higher quality, but I have seen a game where you could use the equivalent of a gathering knife to lower the quality of an existing skin.
