Hunt the Blackmire swamp reptiles for hide, then dry it into leather for backpacks and armor.

In Enshrouded 1.0, Reptile Hide and Reptile Leather are part of the same crafting chain: get the Hide from reptiles in the Blackmire, then turn it into Leather at your base. Both items are level 13 Common materials, with a stack limit of 250 each.

Quick answer: Hunt the crocodile-like reptiles in Blackmire’s swamp water to get Reptile Hide. At the Drying Rack, craft Reptile Leather from 1 Reptile Hide + 3 Salt.


Get Reptile Hide in the Blackmire swamp

Reptile Hide comes from the crocodile-like reptiles that live in the Blackmire swamp. Its item text reads, “The tough and scaly skin of a reptile.”

Craft Reptile Leather on the Drying Rack

Your first pickup of Reptile Hide immediately unlocks the Reptile Leather recipe at the Drying Rack. Take the Hide and some Salt to your base, open the rack, and choose Reptile Leather. Its item description reads, “A sturdy material used in extravagant tailoring.”

Each batch uses 1 Reptile Hide and 3 Salt to produce 3 Reptile Leather, and takes 60 seconds to finish.


What Reptile Leather is used for

The Medium Backpack is the most common use; the Bard crafts it with 6 Reptile Leather and 6 Linen. Reptile Leather is also used in several armor recipes from different crafters, with each recipe requiring 1 Reptile Leather unless noted.
