Where to Get & How to Farm Leather in Palworld

Like Stone and Wood, players must gather Leather to craft essential items and devices around their base camp in Palworld. If you’re having trouble finding the resource, here’s where to get and how to farm Leather in Palworld. 

How to Get & Where to Farm Leather in Palworld

In order to get Leather, you’ll need to hunt down specific wild Pals across the map. From my time farming these monsters, they’ll usually drop around three Leather pieces, regardless of whether you knock them out or catch them. As you begin grinding for Leather, I’d advise defeating wild Pals rather than capturing them to be more resourceful, but if you have an ongoing catch objective, feel free to use your Pal Spheres.

Early on in the game, you’re likely to find easy-to-beat creatures that drop Leather in the Grassy Behemoth Hills. It’s a good idea to keep a good stockpile of the resource, as it’s something you’re going to be using quite a bit of. You should also take advantage of any Pals or weapons that increase your chances of getting Leather when possible.

What Drops Leather in Palworld

There are a lot of Pals that drop Leather in Palworld. Early-game creatures such as Foxparks, Fuack, and Eikthyrdeer will drop Leather as a reward for defeating or capturing them. These creatures will appear in the early zones you travel through, so they won’t be too difficult to find around open roads, especially Eikthyrdeer.

In general, the Paldeck will tell you whether something drops Leather. While the game is still in early access and so this may have to be updated later, here’s our list of everything that drops Leather in Palworld, in addition to the three mentioned above:

• Chillet
• Direhowl
• Fuddler
• Fenglope
• Galeclaw
• Incineram
• Gorirat
• Pyrin
• Katrass
• Mossandra
• Reindrix
• Tombat
• Verdash
• Melpaca
• Nitewing
• Mammorest
• Ribbunny
• Nox

What Leather Is Used For

In Palworld, Leather can be used for crafting items on a Workbench. Specifically, Leather will see the most use at a Pal Gear Workbench, which allows you to create Pal-related items to unlock Partner Skills that you can use in combat and essential adventuring mechanics. 

For instance, after catching an Eikthyrdeer and reaching level 12, the Eikthyrdeer Saddle can be unlocked via the Technology tree and made at a Pal Gear Workbench with Leather and other materials. Making the saddle lets you summon Eikthyrdeer as a mount to travel environments much faster than on foot.

Leather is one of those universally vital materials with multiple uses in Palworld, so you’re likely to spend plenty of time farming the resource from wild Pals regularly. 

Palworld is available in Early Access now.
