Hard leather is made by taking cowhides to a tanner. The lunar spell Tan Leather can also be used at level 78 Magic, and tans up to 5 cowhides at once into hard leather.

Combined with thread and a needle, it can be used to make hardleather bodies at level 28 Crafting, granting 35 crafting experience. With a hammer and 15 bronze nails, members can attach two hard leathers onto an oak shield to create a hard leather shield. Doing so requires level 41 Crafting and grants 70 experience.

Hard leather can also be obtained as rare loot from baby implings.

One piece of hard leather is required for Animal Magnetism.
