Harvesting
Camping
Camping is the only harvesting skill you do not start — it rides along on your fighting. Kill something with a skinning knife active and you take the hide, and hides are what Tailoring turns into bandages, bags, cloaks and the tackle a tamer needs. Anyone who fights is already halfway to a leather supply and usually doesn't know it.
Hides, by quality
Which hide you take is decided by your Camping skill. How MUCH of it comes off is decided by what you killed.
| Skill | Yields | Share at GM |
|---|---|---|
| No requirement |  Leather | 82.0% |
| 65.0 |  Dull Leather | 4.0% |
| 70.0 |  Shadow Leather | 3.5% |
| 75.0 |  Copper Leather | 3.0% |
| 80.0 |  Bronze Leather | 2.5% |
| 85.0 |  Golden Leather | 2.0% |
| 90.0 |  Agapite Leather | 1.5% |
| 95.0 |  Verite Leather | 1.0% |
| 99.0 |  Valorite Leather | 0.5% |
Training needs a tough enough kill
Camping is the one harvesting skill with a floor on WHAT you kill, not just how often. Past each rung below, easier creatures stop teaching you anything — this is why a Grandmaster miner can skin rats all day at 84 and never reach 85.

Skinning knives
A knife has to be made active before Camping will run, and every tier skins exactly as well as any other — what you buy with a better one is how long it lasts.
