Try soloing Secret Base or whatever that first instance is, it has a pretty decent drop rate for dawnhides. You should easily be able to get around 5-8+ a run.

Or you could just level your character to max before worrying about crafting like most people do.

At 50+ you should have close to 1000 gold if not more. At 60 you should have around 3000-4000 gold if not more.

Dawnhides are super cheap and the easiest hides to get from the Auction house since they are the lowest level hides available.

Dawnhides even at 1 gold a piece are only 50 gold at level 40+ you can make 50+ gold easy.

So if you are of a level where dawnhide is of no practical use, you can get it easily? That's a good way to get around the lack of hides but it highlights the poor design.

Also, seems the boards to get the quests to level trade skills are either broken or removed. :( That sucks big time.



I can only hope they were removed pending an overhaul of the current system.

TBH the crafting dailies were awful. Ideal in a town-based crafting daily the quest should give you the base materials, you buy the catalysts from a vendor, and then go to town making your quest items.

However in the Velika crafting dailies they had you buy 2~3 types of expensive vendor materials, in addition to a crazy number of world-gathered materials.

I personally would be fine if it were just one or the other, but the materials list to make these quest items was pretty ridiculous for a daily repeatable.

Absolutely, this NEEDS to be fixed. I don't know about dropping carcasses everywhere since that might mar the landscape, but a much increased supply via drop or extraction is desperately needed.

The same treatment needs to be given to Greenhide as well, and even future hides we haven't reached yet if their drop rates are just as atrocious.



Since our method of inventory is some magical 5th dimension anyway, why not be able to pick up and stack carcases? Then have a tanning station back in Velika, where you can skin the carcases at a chance to crit and receive bonus materials, then tan hides, also at a chance to bonus.

Nice 2 month old topic necro.

Anyway, this is completely unnecessary for the following reasons:
1 - The skill-ups given by crafting things has been raised, significantly lessening the amount of materials you need to level up.
2 - You can get enough dawnhides to get your leatherworking to the next level in a few runs of Bastion of Lok, if not just 1 single run. You may even have enough by the end of noob island to do it with the new crafting skill-up rates.
3 - Crafting is completely unnecessary until end game so why bother trying to farm them at low levels anyway? Just wait until you're like 50 or so and can solo BoL in no time. I came out with 16 dawnhides in just 1 run in like 10 minutes with my level 60 warrior.
4 - The rest if the hides used for leatherworking you farm rather easily.
