Members can create a black dragonhide body with the Crafting skill at level 84 from three black dragonleathers; creating one grants the player 258 Crafting experience.
The data in this table is based on the current Grand Exchange prices. It is accurate assuming the items haven't changed in price, are bought off of the Grand Exchange, and the completed Black d'hide body is sold afterwards.
Before the Evolution of Combat, the black d'hide body had better defensive stats than the Karil's top in stab, slash, and crush, despite costing less, however it had inferior magic protection, which was the defensive stat people were looking for in ranged armour, and the required Ranged level to wear black d'hide body was 70.
