Leather
Requires a Furnace.
Quick Answer
Leather
The normal way to get Leather is to process Scraped Hide in a Furnace. One batch takes 1 Scraped Hide and returns 1 Leather. If you already have the ore but cannot make a Leather, the missing piece is usually the Furnace itself or its setup, not another mining unlock.
Pick up Leather in Workshop.
Recipe
The recorded conversion, with the input and output the data actually states.
| Made in | Furnace |
|---|---|
| Input | Scraped Hide×1 |
| Output | Leather×1 |
| Fuel | None recorded |
| Time | None recorded |
| Earliest access | Requires a Furnace. |
| Recorded price | 120 — one stored value |
| Can also be bought? | No recorded seller |
| Can also be found? | Yes, as later loot |
One batch turns 1 Scraped Hide into 1 Leather — enough for Leather to be worth smelting in bulk rather than one at a time. Neither a fuel cost nor a processing timer is recorded for this recipe.
Can I get Leathers yet?
The answer depends on where you are, not on the item itself.
If you have a Furnace
Yes. Get Scraped Hide and process it — the recipe runs with the ore alone.
If you have Scraped Hide but no Furnace
Not through processing yet. Unlock your first Furnace — the chain is below.
If the Workshop route is not open
The Furnace is tied to the Workshop progression, so that chain comes before the recipe.
If you are already in later areas
You may also find Leathers elsewhere — see the alternatives below.
What you need first
Each of these is stated once. Finish them in this order and the recipe will run.

How to make Leather
Step 1 — Get 1 Scraped Hide
Best early source: Craft · Player Witching Mortar.
Step 2 — Use the Furnace
Place the Furnace, then load 1 Scraped Hide. No fuel is recorded for this conversion, so the ore is the only thing consumed.
Step 3 — Collect the output
Each batch yields 1 Leather. The game data records no processing timer, so it does not state how long a batch takes.

Scraped Hide vs Leather
These two are the most common mix-up in the early game, in whichever direction you are coming from.
| Scraped Hide | Leather |
|---|---|
| Raw material, mined or bought | Processed material, made in a Furnace |
| Accepted by quests that ask for ore | Accepted by crafting recipes that ask for bars |
| Cannot substitute for a Leather in a recipe | Cannot substitute for Scraped Hide in an ore hand-in |
Why can’t I make Leather?
Not having the ore and not being able to process it are different problems. Pick the one that matches you.
What’s stopping you?
The earliest recorded source is Craft · Player Witching Mortar. Mine the nodes on the earliest floor you can reach and smelt in bulk, since one batch returns 1 Leather.
Other ways to get Leather
Later alternative: Leathers can also appear as loot in later mining areas. These routes are chance-based, so the recipe above stays the reliable one.

What else the Furnace makes

| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| Copper Ore ×1 | Copper Bar ×2 |
| Gold Ore ×1 | Gold Bar ×5 |
| Iron Ore ×1 | Iron Bar ×3 |
| Scrap Metal ×5 | Iron Bar ×3 |

| Raw Void Crystal ×1 | Void Crystal Bar ×8 |
How many Leathers do you need?
Uses the recorded ratio, so the count is exact rather than a rule of thumb.
That is 8 batches, so bring 8 Scraped Hides. Each batch returns 1 Leather, so 8 batches cover the 8 you need.
Keep them or sell them?
73 recipes take Leather, so it is an input for the next stage of crafting rather than something to sell off. The item database records a single price of 120 and does not store a separate sell value, so a resale figure would be a guess. Hold the bars until the recipes that need them are built.
FAQ
How much Scraped Hide does one Leather take?
One batch is recorded as 1 Scraped Hide in and 1 Leather out. There is no way to run a smaller batch, so the ratio is fixed.
Does Furnace need fuel?
No fuel cost is recorded for this recipe. The data records the input, the output and nothing else, so nothing is charged beyond the Scraped Hide.
Can I buy Leathers instead of making them?
No seller is recorded. The only reliable route is processing Scraped Hide.
Can Scraped Hide be used instead of Leather?
No. Recipes that ask for Leathers will not accept Scraped Hide, and quests that ask for Scraped Hide will not accept Leather. They are separate items.
Does one Scraped Hide give one Leather?
No — the recorded batch is 1 Scraped Hide to 1 Leather, so every Scraped Hide you smelt returns more than one bar. Mine a small stack and process it together.
