11Overview33Tanning Rack is a refiningcraft station in Windrose. A refining station that processes hides. Produces Elastic Leather, Tanned Leather, and Tarred Fabric from Rough Hide and Linen Fabric inputs.55Station Info77PropertyValueCategoryRefining stationStation TypeBase stationMax Health4,500Within Bonfire RangeRequired99Construction Materials1010MaterialQuantityRopex5Woodx101212Recipes Crafted1313The following recipes are available at Tanning Rack.

Elastic Leather and Tanned Leather gate the mid-tier armor extenders (Bellows, Material Rack, Shoemaker's Bench) and the ship-fitting upgrades. Tarred Fabric adds a sail-grade textile to the output line. Tannin comes from the Alchemy Table's Tree Bark recipe, which makes the Alchemy Table a soft prerequisite for Tanned Leather.2020Tips2222Craft Tannin at the Alchemy Table before starting a Tanned Leather run. One Tannin consumes two Tree Bark.Rough Hide comes from skinning boars, crocodiles, and larger mammals. Stockpile hides from a Coastal Jungle hunt before a Tanning Rack session.Tarred Fabric is sail-grade and feeds Shipwright's Workshop upgrade recipes; keep a stack in reserve for ship upgrades.2424Output Comparison2626All three Tanning Rack recipes run on the same bench but differ in input cost and speed. Elastic Leather is the fast bulk output; the two slower recipes add a second ingredient for higher-tier results.2828OutputInputsRateFeedsElastic LeatherRough Hide x33 per minuteMid-tier armor and Bellows prepTanned LeatherRough Hide x3, Tannin x11.33 per minuteRare armor sets, faction gearTarred FabricLinen Fabric x1, Tar x11.33 per minuteShipwright's Workshop sails and hull3030Run Elastic Leather batches whenever hides pile up, and reserve Tannin for Tanned Leather only, since Tannin is the slow link in the chain and must be crafted at the Alchemy Table from Tree Bark.3131See Also3333Craft StationsBase BuildingCraftingElastic LeatherTanned LeatherAlchemy TableTannin3535Refining Chain Context3737The Tanning Rack sits in the middle of Windrose's leather-and-textile refining chain. Its inputs come from two separate production loops, and its outputs feed armor, ship, and sail progression at different upgrade tiers.3939InputWhere FoundTanning Rack OutputDownstream UseRough Hide x3Skinning boars, crocodiles, and larger mammalsElastic Leather x1 (20s)Mid-tier armor extenders, basic gear upgradesRough Hide x3 + Tannin x1Hide from hunting plus Tannin from the Alchemy TableTanned Leather x1 (45s)Rare armor set upgrades, faction-locked gearLinen Fabric x1 + Tar x1Spinning Wheel output plus Alchemy Table tar refinementTarred Fabric x1 (45s)Shipwright's Workshop sail and hull upgrades4141Soft Prerequisite: Alchemy Table4242Tannin is not a ground drop. It is crafted at the Alchemy Table from Tree Bark, which means the Alchemy Table is a de facto prerequisite for Tanned Leather production. Build order for a new base is usually:4444Bonfire and Workbench first, then the Spinning Wheel for Linen Fabric.Alchemy Table second, which also unlocks Elixir production alongside Tannin.Tanning Rack third, positioned close enough to the Alchemy Table that Tannin runs do not require a long walk.4646Why Tarred Fabric Matters4848Tarred Fabric is the only sail-grade textile in the current build. Every hull and sail upgrade that lists a fabric cost specifically calls for Tarred Fabric, not plain Linen. Keep a reserve stack on the Tanning Rack bench the moment you unlock the Shipwright's Workshop, because ship upgrades tend to consume Tarred Fabric in batches of four or five per tier.5050Details5252Properties5454PropertyValueMax Health4,5005656Build Cost5757Duration: 1s5959IngredientQuantityWoodx10Ropex56161Unlocked By6262DISCOVERY Leather tanning and an upgraded backpackFoothillsTree BarkCraftsNameTanned LeatherTarred Fabric
