Hello!

and I went to the rare materials murchant and he didnt have any...

Were can I get these tanned hides?

Tanned Hides are not a rare material - their normal materials so the "Material Trader" (NOT rare) sells them. For 10 of them it costs almost 200gp there.

Most enemy armor dropped is salvaged into tanned hides though.

So the less expensive way would be to just explore, and salvage all the armors you pick up.

(I mean things like "grawl equipment" and stuff that some enemies drop)

I shall add a couple points; Any Player Character with tanned required for their armor <elementalists, rangers, and whatnot> WILL ALWAYS be salvaged from NPC's of the same class. Just a point of information.

Also, most armor that does drop statistically is armor salvaged for tanned..don't know why, it just is.

Salvaging is the way to go unless you want to barter with a player in a district of any major cities <usually 10g per>. Also; rare matierials you might need to craft "fur lined" is the RARE ingredient, fur squares. These are eaisly gotten by trading in 4 charr hides to a collector in ascalon city, who in return gives you one fur square.

Hope this helped.

Yes. A rare matierial trader and regular stand side by side to the merchant. By other merchants, I meant regular player characters will tend to sell matierials below market price..so look for them
