You read the text and slowly understand how leather tanning works. The instructions show that to begin with you must obtain a raw skin, pelt, hide or fur from a recently killed creature. This is usually done by arranging the creature for skin, and then skinning it while holding a knife or other bladed weapon. The skin must then be scraped until clean using a hide scraper. Following this, the crafter can pour tanning salts in an oil or lotion form onto the cleaned skin to begin the curing process. This process can take several anlaen, but using potent tanning salts will speed up the process. Crafter can also continue to pour more onto the already curing material to reduce the tanning time, at the expense of quality.
