For ordinary leather, process 1 Animal Hide or 3 Animal Hide Scraps at a Tannery. Hard Leather needs 2 Leather + 1 Adhesive. Raw hides are separate tiers: check the final recipe before choosing a creature or starting a long hunt.
Animal Hide comes from large enemies; Animal Hide Scraps are listed from enemies in Bramblemead Valley. Test one batch at the Tannery before collecting a large stack.
Process one sample before a long hunt
Collect one hide from the matching creature, process it at the listed station, and confirm the exact output name. If the recipe is missing, check the Artisan level and whether it requires the Advanced Tannery before hunting again. Its listed build requirements are 12 Yew Logs, 4 Mithril Bars, 2 Desert Thread, and Construction 12.
