As a Crafting Survival game set in a giant magical open world, it’s not surprising thatRunescape: Dragonwildsalso has a tier system for your gear. As you get higher-tier weapons and armor, you’ll start seeing yourself deal a lot more damage while taking lesser damage from the enemies, which is quite important for high-level regions.

However, before you can craft these high-tier pieces of equipment, you’ll first have to get the required materials from the dangerous regions. One of these materials is Hard Leather, and it’s not easy to get your hands on some of it unless you know what you’re doing.

Runescape: Dragonwilds is currently in its Early Access period on Steam, and everything mentioned in this article is subject to change.

How To Make Hard Leather

Before you start crafting yourself some Hard Leather, you’llneed two structures inside your house: the Tannery and the Tanner’s Kit. The former is an early-game structure and requires Ash Logs, Animal Bones, and Coarse Thread to craft. However, the latter only unlocks when you get your hands on some Bronze Bar.

You’ll needsix Bronze Bars,eight Coarse Threads, six Adhesive, and 18 Ash Planksto make the Tanner’s Kit. You can get planks by creating a Sawmill and putting Ash Logs in it, whereasAdhesive can be acquired through the kiln by placing some Swamp Tar in it. Once you have all the items, place Tanner’s Kit anywhere in the building and the menu inside your Tannery will change.

With the Tanner’s Kit, you’ll beable to place two items in the Tannery, which is a requirement to get some Hard Leather.

After getting this upgrade, make yourself some normal Leather using any Hide and some more Adhesive. Everytwo Leather and one Adhesive you place in the Tannery gives you one Hard Leather. However, you need quite a bit of this item to get yourself a better armor, so it’s recommended tofarm a ton of animalsfor it in advance.
