33 Thick Hide is a crafting material in Crimson Desert used for refinement at the blacksmith. It upgrades leather armor and jewelry. Thick Hide comes from the largest animals in the game, specifically rhinos and elephants, both found in the northern reaches of the map. These creatures have hefty health pools, so come prepared.

1010 Rhino Spawn (Northern Fast Travel Point)
1111  
1212 Rhinos consistently spawn next to the fast travel point along the main road in the northern part of Crimson Desert. Teleport to this point, hunt the rhinos, then leave and return to reset the spawns. This loop is the fastest method for farming Thick Hide because the travel time is almost zero.

1414 Elephant Territory
1515  
1616 Elephants are found further north, positioned slightly west of the main road heading toward Varnia. They take longer to bring down than rhinos due to their large health pools, but they drop Large Bone and Ivory alongside Thick Hide, making each kill quite rewarding.

2020 Thick Hide can be purchased from the Tannery in Hernand town. The shop restocks at midnight (in-game time). Sleeping at a bed or bonfire advances the clock if you want to buy multiple batches without waiting.

2424 Thick Hide is a high-grade hide material used at the blacksmith during refinement. It appears in mid-to-late-game upgrade recipes for leather armor and jewelry. Because the same animals also drop Large Bone, a farming trip to the northern regions covers two material requirements at once.

2626 Tips
2727  
2828 Rhinos charge in straight lines. Side-dodge their charge, then punish with a combo while they turn around.Elephants swing their tusks in wide arcs. Stay behind them and attack the hind legs to avoid the most dangerous moves.Bring healing consumables. Both rhinos and elephants hit hard, and being caught by a charge or stomp can take most of your health bar.If you also need Ivory, prioritize elephants over rhinos since only elephants drop Ivory.

3434 Outlaw Canyon Rhino Farm Loop
3535  
3636 There is a dedicated rhino cluster above the northern sea, just east of Outlaw Canyon, with a fast travel point sitting almost directly on top of the spawn. Because the teleport drops you next to the spawn, this is the most time-efficient loop currently known for Thick Hide.

3838 How to run it:
3939  
4040 Fast travel to the point east of Outlaw Canyon, above the sea on the northern edge of the map.Immediately scan for rhinos. One to three usually spawn together within a short radius of the teleport.Kill the rhinos and skin them. Each body drops Thick Hide along with Large Bone, Ivory, and Tough Meat.Fast travel back to the same point. The rhinos respawn on the spot, often almost instantly.Repeat until you have enough Thick Hide for your recipe or blueprint.

4242 Heat resistant or frost resistant armor is not required here, but the northern climate is harsh; bring gear suited to the biome. Equipping a dagger or skinning tool with bonus skinning drops increases yield per kill. This loop is what most players use to craft the horse armor blueprints that require large stacks of Thick Hide in a single session.
