What pelts are worth saving?

[deadreaver777]

Hello all,

I'm making a return to the game and have decided to roll a new character, thus I have begun acquiring plenty of animal pelts. I'm curious though, which pelts are worth any value to real player and worth saving and which should I just pass off to NPC merchants? No need to mention HQ bear pelt, I know the answer on that one :)

Thank you for your assistance!

I found making leather padding was a good move. Really reduced bank clutter as it is stackable, thus letting me horde more things in my bank. Disadvantage is you have to source spiderling silks form somewhere.

I'd investigate how much interest you can get in selling leather padding before you go down this route though.

I love making my own armour. I find it satisfying in any number of ways- not only is it cool to wear something you've made yourself but I also find it builds character. My shaman is a rugged self-sufficient Man of the Noth - he kills the beasts AND has the skills to turn their skins into useful items! Though time consuming at the beginning (you will make substantial contributions to the lantern fabrication industry for example).

It's up to you really. I do most of my own tradeskilling when I'm too tired to focus on raiding or study, but it's too early to go to bed. When watching a movie or something.

If you are a tailor, they are all important. Ruined pelts to get your skill to 26 or so, afterwards to make armor for noobs.

Can someone confirm if the Wiki price grab thing is correct that the High Quality Lion skins sell for 400-500pp?

[myriverse]

^Maybe as low as 300p.

[Jimjam]

just a note, I don't believe bow haste from quivers is yet implemented.

Also, thick grizzly bear skins are not used to make potion bags. Many times I see people attempting to sell them in EC, but they are useless.

[webrunner5]

HQ Bear Hides and Grizzly Bears skins? are the only 2 skins worth looting at low levels to sell. Rest are to hard to get at low levels that sell for good, or great money. :eek:

Now if you want to raise your tailoring skills and make your own stuff, that is a different story. :D

[ko37qtl]

There's a much smaller market for HQ cat and wolf skins than bear. Expect anywhere from 5-15pp (depending on generosity or desperation) for those but grizzly bear skins, HQ bear skins are more reliable. Polar bear skins are also and can go for prices comparable with the other bear skins but they can take longer to sell.

Took me awhile to figure this out. But indeed, no one wants Thick Grizzly Bear Skins.
