In-Game Text "Every animal has enough brains to preserve their skin. Dead or alive." - Old trapper wisdom While the old folksy wisdom of the backwoods may not apply to Rumtifusels or Gumberoos, the saying nevertheless has a distinct essence of truth to it. By mixing the mashed brain substance of an animal with water a tanning fluid can be created which is rich in natural tannins and which more often than not should suffice to transform the skin of that same animal into the finest leather for use in bookbinding, clothes or other purposes. Beware, though that the dried hides must first be scraped with Water of Lime to remove hair, fat and flesh before the tanning can commence. Tanning allows you to scrape hides in preparation for tanning, prepare tanning fluid and construct tanning tubs. About Tanning is a Hideworking Skill which allows for most Creature's Dried Hides to be Tanned into Leather. How to Limed Hides Place a Raw Hide on a Drying Frame. It'll become a Dried Hide after 8 hours. NOTE: Dried Squirrel Pelts cannot be used to make Limed Hides.) Select a Lime from your inventory and right-click it onto a Vessel filled with Potable Water. This will make Milk of Lime. Using the Limed Hide recipe craft a Limed Hide. A full Bucket of Milk of Lime can make 4x Limed Hides. How to Make Leather The most effective way to make Tanning Fluid is by selecting a Brain and right-clicking it onto a Vessel of Potable Water. If a Bucket was used this will make 10 liters of Tanning Fluid with a 5% concentration. Tanning Fluid can also be made my Boiling Birch Bark in a Clay Pot or Copper Pot although you should make sure the concentration is at least 5%. Place up to 4x Limed Hides into a Tanning Tub. Select a Vessel filled with Tanning Fluid from your inventory and right-click on the Tanning Tub. Make sure to add at least 10 liters of 5% concentrated Tanning Fluid per Limed Hide. Wait - as your Limed Hide begins to tan its progress bar will go up. Each time a Limed Hide's progress bar reaches 100% it consumes 10 liters of Tanning Fluid and is converted into Leather and very rarely Fine Leather. There's a chance of your Limed Hide becoming a Foetid Ooze instead, if that happens the Tanning Fluid will not be consumed.
