99 Crocodile Hide Pieces appear in weapon recipes that combine Mire Metal Ingot with Undead Essence at the Weaponsmith Workshop. They are also a key mid-game Backpack Progression material: the Quartermaster Backpack upgrade uses 5 Crocodile Hide Pieces on top of the previous-tier backpack.

1111 Why it Matters
1212  
1313 Crocodile Hide Pieces sit at the point where a player is transitioning from Foothills-tier crafting into Cursed Swamps content. Players who try to craft the upper mid-game weapons or push past the Bosun Backpack run straight into this gate. The practical response is to clear one or two Plague Crocodile encounters on each Cursed Swamps excursion and stockpile the pieces for later bench sessions rather than single-purpose farming.

3030 Beyond the Quartermaster Backpack path, Crocodile Hide Piece also feeds into base-building and armor workshops. Stockpiling a moderate surplus means a single Cursed Swamps run can advance several crafts in parallel rather than a single bench at a time.

3333 Approach and Combat Tips
3434  
3535 Access to the Cursed Swamps opens after completing the second biome's boss encounter, so Crocodile Hide Piece farming is not available from a fresh character. Within the swamps, crocodile spawns cluster in shallow water pockets and frequently appear in groups rather than singly. Pulling one at a time is unreliable in these zones, so most players plan around engaging packs rather than trying to isolate targets.

37-Ranged weapons are the preferred tool against crocodiles. Their melee attacks have a deceptively long reach, and trading hits at close range burns through healing supplies faster than chipping them down with bow or firearm fire from outside their engagement radius.
