Farming advice

[short nimbus]

I'm trying to train Blacksmithing and I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for farming Fine leather?

Elite Shadow Missions

Or Alban on higher difficulties. Maybe dungeons, but not as consistent.

Don't forget to use "Master of Ingredient Hunting" Title while you go defeat monsters in places Pasternak suggested.

many mats from this game are best from fishing event boxes. farming them through mob drops/part-time-jobs are inefficient. you would be better off doing something else to get the gold (I believe there are posts that detail on how to get gold) and buy the fine leathers from someone else (who essentially got them from fishing event)

fishing with your family is the best way to go

Echoing ^. Farming leather is an extremely bad idea, since the intention of the dev is that you collect leather on basically everything you do, but only gradually, meaning that leather would always be a reward for just playing the game normally, for everyone.

Especially for fine leather, if you can't get them from the fishing event (which we will get one in a few days), just buy them with the money you get from other contents.

Also if you absolutely need help and no one is selling leather, consider using skill seals. You can easily get a lot from dungeon vouchers. To an extreme, you can buy 2 (15) seals, get 30 EXP, and AP train the rest of it - without even caring about materials.

Even if you are out of AP right now, consider the fact that you can buy a forgetful potion for 1.3m on AH now, and that will give you 200 AP - At current market price that's only 70 fine leather! (Edit: You may get more gold by selling fine leather, use the gold to buy forgetful pots, get AP, AP train, and then still have gold left.)

You can get rf-9 free with edern ptj

Maybe more after rework

Thank you for that, but I'm already ~r5
