How To Get Pristine Hide in V Rising

This item can be dropped from lots of resources, so this is not particularly a rare resource. If you have already been to the Cursed Forest or Oakveil Woodlands and fought enemies, then chances are you already have some of this item.
The enemies that drop this resource are:
- Corrupted Bear
- Corrupted Deer
- Corrupted Wolf
- Cursed Bear
- Cursed Wolf
- Cursed Slime Toad
- Nightlurker
- Werewolf (Dunley Farmlands)
Werewolves are the enemy you want to choose to farm for this item. There are two reasons behind this. Firstly, you can find werewolves quite commonly throughout Dunley Farmlands. Secondly, they do not pose any significant threat. Once you have enough Pristine Hide, you can move onto the Tannery to process this material.

Pristine Hide Recipes
You can only craft two items using Pristine Hide. However, both items are quite useful. The recipes involving Pristine Hide are:
- Pristine Leather: 20x Pristine Hide, 20x Mutant Grease – Using the Tannery or Advanced Tannery
- Shroud of the Forest: 200x Pristine Hide, 200x Plant Fiber, 20x Ghost Shroom
Pristine Leather is used to make various items, including the Dawnthorn armor. Whereas, the Shroud of the Forest is extremely helpful in exploring the Cursed Forest since it removes the curse effect while equipped. Therefore, you should make this item if you intend to step foot into the Cursed Forest often. (Note: You will need to first defeat Ben the Old Wanderer, a level 63 V Blood Carrier, to unlock both aforementioned recipes.) This is how you can get and use Pristine Hide in V Rising.
