Dragonhide Leather
In Old School RuneScape (OSRS), Dragonhide leather is a highly sought-after crafting material obtained by tanning dragonhide, which is dropped by certain powerful dragon monsters throughout Gielinor. The vibrant hues of dragonhide are representative of the type of dragon from which it is sourced, showcasing a range of colors such as green, blue, red, black, and the rare white.
To acquire dragonhide leather, players must first obtain dragonhide from killing dragons. Each dragon type drops a specific dragonhide: green dragons drop green dragonhide, blue dragons drop blue dragonhide, red dragons drop red dragonhide, and black dragons drop black dragonhide. Notably, the rare white dragonhide is acquired from the extraordinarily powerful and elusive dragons that exist within certain high-level areas.
Once players have collected the dragonhide, they can take it to a tanner to convert it into leather. The tanning process requires a small fee and varies depending on the type of dragonhide. Tan the dragonhide at either the Al Kharid or the Canifis tanner for seamless functionality. The resulting product, dragonhide leather, is much more valuable than the original hide due to its exceptional properties.
Dragonhide leather is integral to crafting high-level armor and other items. For example, players can create the highly coveted Dragonhide body, Dragonhide vambraces, and Dragonhide chaps, which provide excellent bonuses to Ranged combat. Each armor piece crafted from dragonhide leather not only increases defense but also reduces damage taken from various sources. The crafting skill requirements increase with the complexity of the item.
In addition to crafting armor, players can use dragonhide leather to create items such as the Dragonfire shield, an essential item for protection against dragonfire attacks when fighting against various dragons. The versatility of dragonhide leather makes it a valuable resource for both combat-oriented players and craftsmen alike.
The color variations and the unique benefits associated with dragonhide leather equip players with varied strategies for combat, making it vital in both PvE and PvP scenarios. Collectors and traders in the Grand Exchange value dragonhide leather highly, often leading to fluctuating prices based on supply and demand dynamics. Those venturing into combat with dragons will find the farming of dragonhide a rewarding endeavor, enhancing their accounts with both experience and resources.
