Enshrouded 1.0: How to Get Hardened Leather

Craft it at the Hunter from Leather and Wax, or farm the Scavenger Tyrant in the Albaneve Summits.

Craft it at the Hunter from Leather and Wax, or farm the Scavenger Tyrant in the Albaneve Summits.

Hardened Leather is a treated crafting material in Enshrouded 1.0, with the item text “This patch of leather has been made more sturdy and enduring.” You make it at the Hunter, and the Scavenger Tyrant boss in the Albaneve Summits also drops it. It feeds into the region’s cold-weather boots, a few other pieces of gear, and some furniture.

Quick answer: Combine 1 Leather and 2 Wax at the Hunter to make 1 Hardened Leather. A Tanning Station must be placed in your base for this recipe.


Craft Hardened Leather at the Hunter

Get a Tanning Station into your base. Your first one comes from the Hunter’s quest “In Need Of A Tanning Station”. After that, the Hunter can craft more using 10 Wood Planks, 4 Nails, 10 Lump of Clay, and 10 Tar.
Make Leather at the Tanning Station. The recipe turns 10 Dried Fur, 20 Salt, and 2 Ammonia Gland into 10 Leather.

Gather Wax. You can harvest wild beehives from trees, or place a Honey Beehive (unlocked through the Farmer quest “A Beehive Smoker”), which converts 3 Plant Fiber into 1 Wax.

Farm the Scavenger Tyrant in the Albaneve Summits

If you would rather get Hardened Leather without crafting, the Scavenger Tyrant, a boss in the Albaneve Summits, drops 1-4 Hardened Leather every kill.


What Hardened Leather is used for

  • Blacksmith: Mountain’s Shadow, Wolf’s Fang, and Brazen Bull Boots
