Where To Get Pristine Hide
Pristine Hide is a late-game resource added in version 1.0 ofV Rising. To get it, you will need to kill enemies of specific types. Enemies that drop Pristine Hide include:
These enemies are primarily found in the Cursed Forest but may spawn in the Dunley Farmlands region as well. While Cursed Wildlife sometimes dropsThick Hideinstead,Lurkers and Werewolves always drop Pristine Hide.
The Best Way To Farm Pristine Hide
Because Werewolves and Lurkers always drop Pristine Hide, these enemies are the most reliable way to farm the resource. As such, going to places that are densely populated with them is ideal. However,Werewolves are generally a better way to farm Pristine Hidethan Lurkers because they are easier to fight, and more centrally located on the map.
Werewolves spawn throughout the Dunley Farmlands region at night, so wandering around off the road will usually net you some Pristine Hide. These spawns can be tricky to find, however, and Werewolves found this way are likely to run off. To get the most concentrated amount of Pristine Hide, head toGracefall Village, where Werewolves spawn constantly. The only danger of this method is accidentally provoking Wilfred the Village Elder, who resides in this location, but players can leave the village to drop aggro.
How To Use Pristine Hide
Once players have Pristine Hide, it can beturned into Pristine Leather usingMutant Greasein the Tannery. To unlock the recipe, defeat V Blood Carrier Ben the Wanderer (who roams the Cursed Forest). Pristine Leather is then used tocraft the Dawnthorn Armorandrepair your gear.It will also be used to craft Bat Leather, Cloth, and buildings like the Anatheum.
Most important however, is undoubtedly the Dawnthorn Armor, this (and it’s upgrades) will be the gear set that takes them toV Rising’s end game - happy hunting!
