Obtaining

Raw hides can be looted from most wild or domesticated animals upon death. The following animals have a chance to drop hides:

• small hides: adult hare , adult raccoon , adult fox , lamb , goat kid , deer fawn , and some adult species of deer .
• medium hides: adult pig , hyena , adult wolf , most adult species of goat , and some adult species of deer.
• large hides: adult bighorn sheep , adult gazelle , some adult species of goat , and some adult species of deer .
• huge hides: bear

Note
Raw hides spoil . To preserve hides longer than 5 days, store them in a cellar , or oil them with fat , or soak them in a barrel with limewater or diluted borax .
Oiling leads to pelts , while soaking leads to leather .

Most baby animals do not drop any hides.

Storage

A hide looted from a corpse has 5 days of freshness in the player's inventory. Depending on the ambient temperature, the freshness might be extended by placing hide(s) in a container such as a chest or clay storage vessel. A raw hide may be placed directly on the ground like a rug. When the period of freshness expires, a raw hide begins to rot. After 24 hours 1 hide becomes 1 rot.
