Tanning
Cure raw hides into the leather every grip, quiver and strap is cut from.
Introduction quest
The Difference Is the Tanning — Pollio, tanner, who smells like it. Every quiver, grip and strap in Elynia starts in this vat.
| Step | Objective | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hear out the tanner | 0 gold, 4 XP |
| 2 | Bring in 5 hides of your own | 25 gold, 8 XP |
| 3 | Tan 3 pieces of Goat Leather | 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 15: boar hides, and after them wolf, bear and lion. Every leatherworker in the city buys what comes out of this yard.
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.
