Cowhide



Cowhides are dropped by cows when they are killed. If it is brought to a tanner, it can be turned into soft leather for 1 coin or hard leather for 3 coins. A tanner can be found in Al-Kharid, the Ranging Guild, Varrock, Canifis and the Crafting Guild. Soft and hard leathers can then be crafted into various pieces of equipment through the Crafting skill. Cowhides are also used in Creature Creation to create Unicows. The Tower of Life quest must be done before Creature Creation can be accessed.

The best place for Free-to-play players to kill cows for cowhides is the field northwest of Lumbridge because players may deposit their cowhides and raw beefs they obtained with Beefy Bill, who charges a 10% commission. On the downside, cows are more scattered compared to Lumbridge's cow field.

Killing cows can often be beneficial for low-level free players as the cowhides and raw beefs obtained can be sold for a decent profit. It also grants combat experience, making it an activity worthy of a new player's time and effort.

To make more money, a player may tan their hides into soft leather for just 1 coins extra and sell the hide for about 50 coins more than a cowhide. A player can also create hard leather which only requires 3 coins extra and returns a profit of about 82 coins per hide. Although it may take more time to tan the hides, the Al Kharid bank is near the Al Kharid tanner and so it is not that much of a hassle tanning hides. If you decide to bank via Beefy Bill, you can use the tannery not too far from the Grand exchange.

Tips
You can use a Ring of kinship to teleport to Daemonheim then leave to get to Al-Kharid for free. This is only recommended if your home teleport is set to somewhere other than Lumbridge.
