Leathers

Players can also tan hides themselves with the Lunar spell Tan Leather, which requires 78 Magic and the Fremennik Hard Diaries, without paying any coins. The cost of the spell whilst wearing a source of infinite fire runes (such as a Staff of fire or a Tome of fire)) is 367 coins, tanning up to 5 hides at once.

In the early days of RuneScape, there were plans to allow players to tan their leather themselves using the tailoring skill. This never came to fruition and instead the concept was merged into the Crafting skill.
