Trivia
- Tanner is one of several NPCs that provide tanning services across Gielinor, but he is the most accessible for low-level players due to Al Kharid‘s proximity to the starting area.
- The tannery’s location in Al Kharid is favored because it has a close proximity to various hunting grounds, making it easy for players to gather hides.
