The following recipes are available at Tanning Rack. Recipes gated behind a specific extender become available once the extender is placed.
Image | Item | Ingredients | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rough Hide x3 | 20s (3/min) | |
| Rough Hide x3, Tannin x1 | 45s (1.33/min) | |
| Linen Fabric x1, Tar x1 | 45s (1.33/min) |
The Tanning Rack is the single leather-production station in Windrose. 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.
Craft 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.
All 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.
Output | Inputs | Rate | Feeds |
|---|---|---|---|
Rough Hide x3 | 3 per minute | Mid-tier armor and Bellows prep | |
Rough Hide x3, Tannin x1 | 1.33 per minute | Rare armor sets, faction gear | |
Linen Fabric x1, Tar x1 | 1.33 per minute | Shipwright's Workshop sails and hull |
Run 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.
The 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.
Input | Where Found | Tanning Rack Output | Downstream Use |
|---|---|---|---|
Rough Hide x3 | Skinning boars, crocodiles, and larger mammals | Elastic Leather x1 (20s) | Mid-tier armor extenders, basic gear upgrades |
Rough Hide x3 + Tannin x1 | Hide from hunting plus Tannin from the Alchemy Table | Tanned Leather x1 (45s) | Rare armor set upgrades, faction-locked gear |
Linen Fabric x1 + Tar x1 | Spinning Wheel output plus Alchemy Table tar refinement | Tarred Fabric x1 (45s) | Shipwright's Workshop sail and hull upgrades |
Tannin 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:
Bonfire 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.
Tarred 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.
