Thanks, sounds like I need more hides, I made a crafting character for starting so taking down a wolf is hard and I didn't think it would take 10 rat pelts to make leather..... I guess it makes sense though, tiny critters and all. I shall certainly check back and maybe I can find a way to send ya SOMETHING though I am not exactly well off atm. Also is it me or is grinding combat exp slow compared to the gathering speed? given that most combat tends to take longer and use comparable vp (more early on)... It feels like maybe you should give a bit more exp... at least in the heroic mode which I played. craft exp gain seems fine to me though.

I will make the requirements for leather lower soon, probably around Christmas!
You can also buy hides from a Hunter in Amber Wilds.
One of the reasons the Combat Exp takes longer to accumulate is because there are less Skills that use it compared to Craft Exp. I may re-balance it in the future though as this system is pretty early in development still.
Lastly, don't feel obliged to send me anything, this is mostly a passion project for me that I enjoy working on :)
