- Note: Creating pelts is a different process from producing leather.
Pelts are animal hides that have been treated with RENDERED fat. They are used in the creation of various pieces of equipment, such as lamellar armor for protection, fur clothing for staying warm in cold weather, and bows for ranged combat. Pelts are also required for the hunter backpack, an early-game bag which can hold an additional item compared to the hand basket.
Creation
Pelts are created by combining raw or salted hides with rendered fat, new to 1.22 in the crafting grid and allowing them to cure.
Oiling
A single lump of fat can be used to oil up to 4 small hides, 2 medium hides, or 1 large hide.
The recipes below need to be updated to replace raw fat with rendered fat.
| Ingredients | Crafting Recipe |
|---|---|
| 1x Rendered fat 4x Raw hide (Small) |
|
| Ingredients | Crafting Recipe |
|---|---|
| 1x Fat 2x Raw hide (Medium) |
|
| Ingredients | Crafting Recipe |
|---|---|
| 1x Fat 1x Raw hide (Large) |
|
Bear hides vary depending on the type. Sun bear and panda bear hides require 1 fat. Black, brown, and polar bear hides require 2 fat each.
| Ingredients | Crafting Recipe |
|---|---|
| 1x Fat 1x Raw sun or panda bear hide with head |
|
| Ingredients | Crafting Recipe |
|---|---|
| 2x Fat 1x Raw black, brown, or polar bear hide with head |
|
Curing
Next, the oiled hide must cure for 48 hours. The process will always take 48 hours; the storage location does not affect curing speed. Oiled hides do not spoil like normal hides or other perishables, and any previous spoiling progress will not affect the final pelt.
Hovering the cursor over the oiled hide will display how much progress has been made. Once it reaches 100%, the oiled hide will become a pelt.
Bear pelts
Bear pelts will start with the head still attached. A knife must be used to split it into the head and body pelts. Bear hide armor pieces require different parts of the pelt. The body and leg armor require the body, with or without the head, while the helmet requires the head.
| Ingredients | Crafting Recipe |
|---|---|
| 1x Knife 1x Bear pelt with head |
|
Bear body pelts can be split again using a knife to obtain normal pelts. The number and type of pelt depends on the type of bear. This is not related to the number of huge scraped hides obtained from each soaked bear hide during the leathermaking process.
| Bear type | Pelts |
|---|---|
| Polar | 3 Huge |
| Brown | 2 Huge |
| Black | 2 Large |
| Panda | 1 Large |
| Sun | 1 Medium |
Usage
Pelts are used to craft the following items:
The hunter backpack, which provides 4 inventory slots instead of the normal hand basket's 3.
The longbow, which is more powerful and accurate than the simple bow.
Lamellar armor, a less protective but cheap and light armor.
Fur clothing, effective for staying warm during winter.
The Reindeer herder coat and shoes, which provide additional warmth compared to fur clothing. Can only be crafted by Tailors.
Hide armor made from bear pelts. Hide armor is not very protective, but it is the only armor that provides additional warmth.
Storage
Both oiled hides and pelts can be placed on the ground or in containers. This does not affect the curing process.
