Mastering the Craft
The journey to ultimate storage requires master craftsmanship. Unlike basic leather bags, Arda's Backpacks utilize a multi-stage material processing system:
1. Preparation: Combine leather pieces to create Stitched Leather.
2. Curing: Heat the Stitched Leather in a furnace to toughen the fibers, transforming it into Rugged Leather.
3. Reinforcement: For high-capacity tiers (Gold, Diamond, Emerald), you must process your materials further into Thick Rugged Leather to handle the weight of the ores.
