Introduction
This guide's purpose is to assist in gathering leather, and provide the best spots/rates for different qualities. This guide is useful for getting the fundamental materials for leather Weaving requirements, and overall leather strap creation efficiency. This guide will not provide key details for training Life Skill requirements pertaining to leather crafting. Please see Skill Guides for that information.
Drop Rate Bonus
Tuesdays (Server Time) provide higher drop rates from monsters in Dungeons.
Make sure to utilize your Tuesdays to get better drop rates. In other words, Tuesdays are your best friend.
Leather Refining
As you collect different qualities of leather, you may end up having extra or more of a certain type that you no longer need.
This is where the Leather Refining Kit comes in.
This kit alters the quality of the leather you carry via these conversion recipes:

* Be aware that you can only utilize this method with Rank 9+ Weaving.
This method allows for much more flexibility, letting you run lower-end dungeons to convert them to higher quality leathers. This is a very good alternative for those who struggle to run through the tougher dungeons that feature higher percent(%) drop rates.
