Skinning

Info

Skinning is the skill required to collect hides from creatures. The unskilled adventurer cannot gather hides. They will destroy the skin with their clumsy hacking.

Harvesting

A Skinning Knife or Harvester's Blade is required to skin a creature. Other blades are too clumsy to use for this purpose.

There are two ways to skin a corpse.

• Targeted skinning:
  • Double click your skinning knife, then target the corpse you wish to skin.

• Area skinning:
  • Double click your skinning knife, then target yourself.
  • Area harvesting radius is determined by your skinning skill:

Skill	Radius
0.0 - 79.9:	1 tile
80.0 - 119.9:	2 tiles
120:	3 tiles

Formula

• (Skinning skill)/200 = Base hides modifier
• Humans gain a 10% bonus.
• A Harvester's Blade gives a 10% bonus.
• Enabling PvP will double the leather collected.

• For instance:
  • You have 50 skinning skill
  • You are human
  • You are allowing PvP
  • You carve a Brown Bear corpse with a skinning knife
  • (50.0)/200 = 0.25
  • 12 * 0.25 = 4 hides
  • 4 * 1.1(Human bonus) = 4.4(Rounded up) 5 hides
  • 5 * 2(PvP) = 10 hides

Leather Types

The type of leather you will receive from skinning a corpse is determined by your Skinning skill. Of course this is assuming the creature you are skinning can provide the advanced leather type to begin with. A cow will only ever give plain leather no matter how skilled you are, but an unskilled skinner butchering a dragon will destroy the hide's special properties, leaving only plain leather to use.

Skill	Type
0.0 - 54.9:	Plain Leather
55.0 - 79.9:	Spined Leather
80.0 - 104.9:	Horned Leather
105 - 120:	Barbed Leather
