Step 1: Build a Tannery

First, you need Leather, and for that, you’ll need a Tannery.

• Build a Tannery at your base

• Throw in Animal Hides (from wild creatures)

• Wait a bit, and it’ll spit out regular Leather

Want faster output? Build a Tanner’s Kit and place it next to the tannery.

Tanner’s Kit recipe:

• 6 Bronze Bars (found in Fractured Plains)

• 8 Coarse Thread

• 6 Adhesive

• 18 Ash Planks

This gives your tannery a second slot—very worth it.

Step 2: Make Adhesive with a Kiln

You’ll also need Adhesive, which is made using a Kiln.

Kiln recipe:

• 8 Ash Logs

• 20 Stone

• 6 Clay

• 10 Fire Runes

Once you have a kiln:

• Place Swamp Tar inside

• Wait for it to cook into Adhesive

Stockpile this stuff. You’ll need a lot of it later.

Step 3: Combine Leather + Adhesive

Back at the Tannery, you can now make Hard Leather.

• Place Leather into the tannery

• Add Adhesive

• Out comes Hard Leather, ready for crafting higher-tier gear (like Iron equipment)

Final Blurb

Hard Leather doesn’t come quick in RuneScape: Dragon Wilds—it’s a multi-step grind involving kilns, bronze tools, and swamp goo. But once you’re set up, it becomes one of the most valuable mid-game materials. Just don’t forget to pick up your adhesive before running off to fight something. Sticky pockets make for sad armor.
