Those who have reached level 100 with the tanner in the new MMORPG New World will quickly realize that without thick animal hides, they cannot really progress. We at MeinMMO explain to you how to obtain this coveted material.
What are Thick Animal Hides? As you traverse the world of New World, you may have stumbled upon a wolf or two before you killed and skinned it. In addition to wolves, other animals also provide you with leather resources, but unfortunately, thick animal hides are often not among them.
Once you have processed all your leather at the next tannery, you will soon reach level 100 with the tanner and can now craft layered leather, at least in theory. Because for that, you need a level 3 tannery and also thick animal hides.
How do you obtain them? Actually, thick animal hides can be farmed just like “normal” leather, just a bit later. You need to have the tracking and skinning skill at least at level 40 and then you must kill enemies that are at least level 35. The higher the enemies are and the more luck you have when skinning, the more thick animal hides you can collect.
Now, you may already be at level 100 with your tanner, but your character may not be strong enough to take on enemies of level 35. However, there is a solution for that too.
Thick animal hides drop from enemies of level 35 or higher, but all animals that also give you leather will provide you with thick animal hides. This includes deer and moose, which do not defend themselves. So if you dare to enter one of the high-level areas and bypass the enemies there, you can farm thick animal hides even at a lower level.
How to optimize farming, but how?
How can you improve your chances? There is equipment in New World that increases your luck when skinning animals or even boosts your yield. With a better knife, you can further optimize your yield from the animals, although these are often tied to a certain level.
You can also use the New World Resource Map to track the animals you want to hunt. Then you just need the luck of not running into too strong opponents. In general, we also recommend disabling PvP.
With the map, you can devise optimal routes to gather thick animal hides and progress your tanner. You can even display the levels of different regions by clicking on “Areas” in the left navigation and then selecting all enemy types.
Have you already reached level 100 with your tanner and are unsuccessfully searching for thick animal hides? Or are you focusing first on leveling up your character? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
Another material that is rare but necessary is Fae Iron – and this is how you obtain it.
