Cobbling material

Cobbling materials are used in the cobbling system to create cobbled footwear. Cobbling materials come in two main varieties: uppers and soles. Uppers are required to make any sort of cobbled footwear while soles are optional. Some cobbling materials only be used to make uppers for certain types of footwear, such as only clogs, slippers, etc. Any pattern restrictions on the cobbling material are noted in its LOOK/SHOW. For full information on the cobbling system, see the main cobbling article. Upper Uppers have a standard LOOK/SHOW description that indicates that they are cobbling uppers. In addition, uppers that are restricted to certain types of cobbled footwear include an extra sentence noting that restriction.

Additional Information In addition to purchasing cobbling materials at cobbling supply shops, cobbling uppers are frequently sold at festivals and pay events. They can also be made via several methods. 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 50 silvers and takes 7 days Alum: Cost is 400 silvers and takes 10 days Oil: Cost is 800 silvers and takes 14 days 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. Dying Uppers Cobbling uppers can be dyed directly via alchemy dye. Dyes from the Dyer's tent also can be used to dye uppers but they must first be converted to the alchemy dye script by bringing the vial to the clerk and using ORDER BOTTLE. These can also be used with alchemy dye additives. Cobbling dyes can also be used as part of the cobbling process.
