The cobbling sole is a fluff crafting script that applies to miscellaneous items, and is part of the Cobbling items and Cobbling materials families of scripts. They are used as part of the cobbling system to create cobbled footwear. Unlike cobbling uppers, cobbling soles are an optional component when crafting footwear.

Analyze

You analyze the tanned leather and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Some heavy tanned leather is used for the cobbling artisan skill.  It is considered a cobbling sole.

You get no sense of whether or not the leather may be further lightened.

Additional Information

Cobbling soles are an optional material when making cobbled footwear. They are typically just a piece of leather and are readily available at the local cobbling supply shop.

For full information on the cobbling system, see the main cobbling article.

Tanning Materials

Cobbling materials can be made via a tanning process, by bringing a skinned animal pelt to the town's tanner. In Wehnimer's Landing, Kharam Dzu, and River's Rest, the tanner is located in the furrier's shop. In Cysaegir, you will find the tanner downstairs from the storage room in the guildhall. In Mist Harbor and Ta'Vaalor, the tanner is also in the cobbling warehouse. In Kraken's Fall, the tanner is in the Tanner's Corridor of the Converted Weather Station that serves as a cobbling warehouse. If you GIVE your pelt to the tanner, she will assess its suitability and ask you some questions about how you want the pelt tanned. The lowest quality tanning process is cheapest and quickest, but will markedly detract from the quality of the finished cobbled goods.

The three curing processes are:

  • Oak: Cost is 250 silvers and takes 5 minutes
  • Alum: Cost is 1,500 silvers and takes 10 minutes
  • Oil: Cost is 2,500 silvers and takes 15 minutes

The quality of the tanned leather depends on the quality of the pelt. When trying to produce best-quality shoes, seek out skilled skinners who can provide magnificent pelts.

Basic Materials

Cobbling Guild supply shops across the various towns all stock basic cobbling materials for use as both uppers and soles. For a comprehensive list of materials, see the full cobbling supply shops category.
