Quality of hides

Post by steveo28 »

Hey guys, had a quick question regarding hide quality. On the wiki it says that the following formula determines the quality of your hides:

skinning and butchering; quality = (Survival + Tool Quality + 2*Bone Quality)/4.

What bone quality are they talking about?

The animal that you're butchering.

That formula doesn't seem right at all. Survival and tool q softcap the hide quality, they can't push it beyond it's maximum as the formula seems to imply. I think the softcap is sqrt(sur*tool), but I'm not sure of that.

It's right but it's kind of backwards right. If you plug in the quality of the bones you got from the animal, and not the actual quality before butchering (bears have q200 bones, right?) then it works. Isn't really useful at all though because if you know the quality of the bones you got then you obviously also know the quality of the hide.
