Leatherworking
Stitch leather armor and quivers for skirmishers.
Introduction quest
What the Leather Is For — Fuscus, leatherworker on the armoury row. Light armor, quivers and grips — cut from leather somebody cured first.
| Step | Objective | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hear out the leatherworker | 0 gold, 4 XP |
| 2 | Bring in 5 hides of your own | 25 gold, 8 XP |
| 3 | Tan 3 pieces of Goat Leather at the vat | 45 gold, 10 XP |
Finishing the chain pays a further 50 gold and 12 XP. It runs once per character and is claimed from the Quests tab under Trades — see Quests.
The trade from here: At skill 5: the Goatskin Jerkin, the first armour cut from leather you cured yourself. At skill 15 the boarhide line opens — light, quiet, and made for skirmishers.
The chain is the trade's introduction and does not continue. Everything past it opens with skill at the bench, not with another quest.

How much XP a recipe actually gives
As with nodes, the table's Skill XP is the full award and d = skill − skill req. Each recipe row in the game prints the exact number you would earn right now.
| Band | Condition | Skill XP |
|---|---|---|
| Optimal | d < 10 | 100 % |
| Good | d < 20 | 100 % — but the drop is coming |
| Trivial | d ≥ 20 | 25 % |
Recipes have no Capped band: several recipes can share a skill requirement at different costs, so there is no single "best one open to you" to protect.
Skill curve
Skill runs 1–100. Cumulative skill XP for key milestones:
| Skill | Cumulative XP |
|---|---|
| 15 | 2100 |
| 30 | 8700 |
| 50 | 24500 |
| 75 | 55500 |
| 100 | 99000 |
