The leatherworking patch has been released:
Leatherworking utilizes 4 different materials to craft items:
-
Thin Hides: Used to make armor with average protection and low speed costs.
-
Thick Hides: Can be used to craft slightly more durable and protective gear at the cost of speed. (Can be crafted by leatherworker with thin hides)
-
Snake Skin: Required to craft rogues armor. (Can be obtained from giant snakes)
-
Dragon Scales: Requried to craft dragon scale armor. Different types of scales will add different abilities (Can be obtained from Dragons)
In addition to these materials, like blacksmithy/carpentry, some items may require accessory materials such as ingots or wood along with some level of blacksmithy and carpentry skill.
Besides the materials mentioned above to use the leatherworking skill you must have a leatherworker's knife and be near a hide rack. To open the leatherworking craft menu simply equip the leatherworking knife and double click on the hide rack.
Work orders and apprenticeships are also be available for players.
Some additional information will be available tomorrow.
