Cobbling materials form the basis of cobbled footwear made via the cobbling system.

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 or cobbling 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.

Crafting Uppers

A Cobbling Upper Maker Box can be used to craft cobbling uppers from a fabric or leather item. It is also capable of being customized with three upper style options in addition to the default twenty options available with it, each for cloth and leather uppers.

An unlocked Fabricator can also make cloth cobbling uppers in addition to storing fabric inside.

A Leatherworking Tool can be used to modify an existing leather cobbling upper by applying a design to it. A single Leatherworking Tool is capable of being customized with three leather upper designs in addition to the default twenty options available with it.

A Silk Screen Press is the cloth counterpart to the Leatherworking Tool. It can also be customized with three fabric upper designs in addition to the default twenty options available with it.

Knitting needles can be unlocked to create cobbling uppers and cobbling adornment lining.

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.
