Hard/Hardened leather is one of the key crafting materials that you will be able to get your hands on in RuneScape Dragonwilds. You need this material to make a lot of tools and equipment in the game, so you will want to get your hands on a good amount of it when exploring Ashenfall.
However, crafting Hard Leather is one of the more complicated things to do in the RPG. This is because you will need to have a good crafting setup going for this, which will include a Furnace, Spinning Wheel, Kiln, and Sawmill.
So, if you are looking to get your hands on a lot of Hardened Leather in RuneScape Dragonwilds, then the guide below will help you out.
How to craft Hard Leather in RuneScape Dragonwilds

To make Hard Leather in RuneScape Dragonwilds, you will first need to make a Tanner’s Kit and feed it the following items:
- 1x Adhesive
- 2x Leather
You will need to use a Tanner’s Kit and not a Tannery because the Hard Leather recipe requires two crafting slots, and the Tannery only has one.
However, making the Tanner’s Kit can be pretty tricky as it needs a lot of resources that are made from various crafting stations. This tool is not something that you will be able to make in the game right away, and you will need to farm up a fair bit to be able to get a full Tannery going.
You can make Adhesive at the Kiln by using Swamp Tar. Leather, on the other hand, can be obtained from a normal Tannery; you will just need to feed it some animal hide scraps.
How to make a Tanner’s Kit in RuneScape Dragonwilds
To be able to make a Tanner’s Kit, you will need the following resources in RuneScape Dragonwilds:
- 6x Bronze Bar
- 6x Coarse Thread
- 6x Adhesive
- 18x Ash Plank
Bronze Bar is the one that unlocks the recipe for you, and to get Bronze Bar, you will need Tin and Copper, and then use a Furnace. To make a Furnace, you will need the following resources:
- 24x Stone
- 8x Clay
- 4x Charcoal
- 10x Fire Rune
- 8x Vault Shard
The Vault Shards are the resource that will unlock the Furnace recipe for you. You obtain this by beating Vault Guardians.

Coarse Thread, on the other hand, needs a Coarse Animal Fur and a Spinning Wheel. To make a Spinning Wheel, you will need the following:
- 12x Ash Logs
- 4x Flax
- 2x Stone
Flax unlocks the recipe for the Spinning Wheel.
To make Adhesive, you will need Swamp Tar and a Kiln. To make the Kiln, you will need:
- 8x Ash Logs

- 10x Fire Rune
Clay unlocks the recipe and can be abundantly found in the Whispering Swamp region of Ashenfall.
Finally, for Ashplank, you need Ash Logs as the core ingredient and the Sawmill crafting station. To make a Sawmill, you need:
18x Ash Logs
4x Bronze Bar
8x Stone
Bronze bar will unlock the crafting recipe for it.
