The Bowl of Brain Tan is a bowl of animal brain mixed with water. It is the tanning paste used to turn raw hides into leather.

The paste goes into the Tan Leather recipe at a Tannin Barrel. The result is wet leather, either crude or furred, depending on the hide. That leather is the start of every leather craft that follows.

The bowl is always made by hand. Make Bowl of Brain Tan mixes one animal brain with a little water in a bowl. It never turns up in loot. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.

Uses


Tan Leather is the recipe that takes the paste. It works at a Tannin Barrel and accepts any item that counts as brain tan. The job hands back an empty Bowl, so the same bowl can be used again.

The output depends on the hide. Plain hides give Large Leather (Crude, Wet), Medium Leather (Crude, Wet) or Small Leather (Crude, Wet). Furred hides keep their fur. Examples are Deer Leather (Furred, Wet), Sheep Leather (Furred, Wet), Rabbit Leather (Furred, Wet) and Raccoon Leather (Furred, Wet). Cattle and pig hides give their own furred leathers by breed, such as Angus Leather (Furred, Wet) and Landrace Pig Leather (Furred, Wet).

How to Get Bowl of Brain Tan


Make Bowl of Brain Tan takes one bowl, one animal brain and a small splash of water. The water can come from any container that holds it. No skill and no station are needed. The brain comes from butchering an animal.

Notes


  • The bowl comes back after tanning, so one bowl serves many hides.
  • The tanning itself happens at a Tannin Barrel.
  • Any bowl works for mixing the paste.
  • Any animal brain works, so small game can supply the paste for a large hide.
