As you explore Sanctuary, you will come across different crafting materials that can be used for enhancing your equipment.
Rawhide is a common crafting material that is used for upgrading your armor and is always necessary for upgrading your armor.
While these are known to be obtained from the beasts and wildlife that exist in Sanctuary, there are other ways for you to obtain Rawhide.
About Rawhide
Rawhide is a common leather that is used throughout Sanctuary and is important for improving your character’s different pieces of armor.
It is described as coarse and rugged and mainly used for garments, tools and even toys for the hounds that can be seen in Sanctuary.
How To Get Rawhide?
One of the main sources for Rawhide is to kill enemies classified as wildlife or beasts, which are most likely monsters that appear as animals.
Another way and a much faster way to get Rawhide later on in the game is to salvage armor, which includes helms, chest armor, gloves, pants, and boots.
All of these will give you Rawhide based on the quality, with higher quality items providing you with a larger number of Rawhide and even more.
Rawhide Farming
The best way to farm Rawhide is to salvage armor as you will often get a lot as you progress through the game, especially after completing the campaign.
A good way to tackle both methods is to grind dungeons that have several beasts in them, which will allow you to get Rawhide as well as items.
By looting both Rawhide and items (which will include armor), you can salvage the items you don’t need to get crafting materials, which include Rawhide.
Rawhide Uses
Rawhide is a crafting material required for upgrading armor and this is needed for each level that you upgrade a piece of armor to.
While armor requires different resources as the level increases, Rawhide will always be needed and at higher levels, you will need more.
Additionally, you can use Rawhide to craft Superior Leather, which requires 5 Rawhide to craft 1 Superior Leather.
Verdict
While Rawhide is greatly needed for the armor you will be wearing, it is not that hard to get because tons of beasts drop it, and a lot of armor you can salvage.
It is best to salvage as much armor as you can to get Rawhide as you will want to upgrade your armor once or twice whenever you equip a new piece.
As you progress through the game, Superior Leather will be needed and Rawhide is one of the best ways to obtain them via refinement.
