Title: 694 - Crafting Leather with scraps still no value
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? YES, makes Leather scrap useless
Details:
go to tanning station

craft leather with
a) 2 animal hides + 1 curing salt = 2 Leather
b) 1 animal hide + 6 Leather scrap + 1 curing salt = 1 Leather

so to make 2 leather you need.....

a) 2 animal hides + 1 curing salt
BUT
b) 2 animal hides + 12 Leather scraps + 2 curing salt

so with scraps you need 12 scraps and 1 curing salt more and the same amount of animal hides than with animal hides alone :?

so leather scraps are still useless to replace animal hides

Steps to Reproduce:
see above

Not a R54 bug...or even a bug. This is a balance design decision that has been debated many times.
I will say this: nothing is ever concrete in Sota. Things change. There is a JIRA open that may or may not change this, but it would be an improvement aspect and not a bug for QA. Rather, it's design.
That # is 49558.

I'd go into more detail but I'm afraid I have limited bandwidth the day before release. But there are a few reasons why things are the way they currently are.

I know this is a subject many are passionate about (and I get it, I play and craft, too) so I apologize for being a bit brief on this subject at the moment.

 

sad to hear that but well...now on to remove my buy leather scraps from my vendors
