At the time of writing this guide (April 2023), the only Leathercraft recipe (that is level 110 or higher) with items available here on HomepointXI is:
Wretched Coat (skill level 115) (also requires Clothcraft level 60): Element: WindWind Crystal + 1x (Spool of) Malboro Fiber + 1x (Square of) Eltoro Leather + 1x (Square of) Penelopes Cloth + 1x (Vial of) Belladonna Sap + 2x (Chunk of) Plovid Flesh


Aside from the above recipe, you also have the option of attempting to skill-up by repeatedly crafting a lower level synth. Be warned though, the chance of getting a skill-up for a lower-level synth is incredibly small! You may have to literally craft hundreds of lower-level synths in hopes of getting a skill-up through this alternate method.

  • Kitron Macarons should be used, as well as any armor items that increase crafting skill-up chances to give this method the best chances possible for skill-ups....but even so, the chance is still incredibly small!


Congrats on achieving Leathercraft Skill level 110!
