You won't get very far in Conan Exiles if all you ever wear are scraps of fabric and weak leather. That's where hardened leather comes in. This material isn't too hard to create, and once you do, you'll have better gear for surviving the many dangers of the Hyborian Age. Here, we'll show you exactly how to make hardened leather in Conan Exiles and everything you can use it for!

How to Make Hardened Leather in Conan Exiles

Crafting hardened leather isn't easy. You'll need a handful of fairly common resources, a hard-to-get resource, and a Tanner's Table. Luckily, a Tanner's Table is easy to craft. You'll need 100 pieces of Wood, and then you create a Tanner's Table at any base you build. Once you've got your table crafted, you can craft as much hardened leather as you like, so long as you have the following:

• Oil: 5
• Leather: 5
• Thick Leather: 5
• Alchemical Base: 1

Leather is harvested from nearly any animal you can kill and skin. For thick leather, however, you'll need to use the Tannery and convert thicker animal hides such as Bear, Black Rhino, Elephant, or Rhino. For oil, the best way to get loads of the stuff is to combine a single piece of Bark with a single piece of Ichor at an Alchemist's Bench. Finally, Alchemical Base is the trickiest resource to gather. You need to combine Ichor with Gold Dust and Silver Dust at a Firebowl Cauldron.

All Conan Exiles Hardened Leather Crafting Recipes

The name of the game when crafting with hardened leather in Conan Exiles is armor. However, you can also craft a Plant-Based Tannery and a Precision Tannery. These are handy for converting animal skins into leather. The primary difference between the two is that the Precision Tannery works much faster. Other than that, as mentioned above, creating a wide variety of different armor types is the primary use for hardened leather. Here, you can see every recipe you can craft with hardened leather.
