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 hacking.

• Jack of all Trades gives humans an effective 20.0 skill, even at 0.0 real skill.
• Skinning a corpse will reveal you if hidden.
• There is a 0.5s skill usage delay.
• Tool does not have to be equipped to use.
• If tool is equipped with spares in pack, uses will be taken from equipped tool.
• If multiple tools are in pack with none equipped, uses may be taken from any tool in pack.

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 to skin all corpses in your range.
  • Area harvesting range is determined by your skinning skill:

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

Skinning While Hidden

You can skin a creature while hidden, however there is a chance you will be revealed by doing so. The chance to be revealed is based upon your Hiding skill.

Skill	Reveal Chance
50.0:	60%
100.0:	30%
120:	10%

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
  • PvP is enabled
  • You carve a Brown Bear corpse with a skinning knife
  • (50.0)/200 = 0.25
  • 12 * 0.25 = 3 hides
  • 3 * 1.1(Human bonus) = 3.3(Rounded up) 4 hides
  • 4 * 2(PvP) = 8 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

Training

0 - 30:	Purchase training from a ranger
30 - 120:	Skin creatures

There are no accelerated gains on harvesting skills. AFK macroing is perfectly legal, so boosts were deemed unnecessary.

Gains are scaled based upon the fame, which generally relates to difficulty of the creature. Higher-famed creatures give a higher chance to gain skill when skinning them. The formula is:

• ((Creature fame / 500) + 50 ) = chance

So here's examples based on fame with a base chance at 50%

• 500 fame = 51% chance to gain.
• 5000 fame = 60% chance to gain.
• 10k fame = 70% chance to gain.
• 15k fame = 80% chance to gain.
