# Skinning

In **Eternal Odyssey**, the Skinning skill allows players to obtain valuable resources from defeated creatures. These resources, known as creature products, are used for crafting, upgrading items, or selling for gold. This section will guide you through the tools available, the skinning process, and what to do with the creature products you collect.

## **Skinning Overview**

Skinning is a process where players use specific tools to extract materials from monsters they defeat. These materials are crucial for various in-game activities, such as crafting and item upgrades. As you advance in the Skinning skill, your chances of successfully obtaining resources improve.

## **Skinning Tools**

There are several types of knives available for skinning, each with different requirements and success rates:

* **Blunt Skinning Knife:** <mark style="color:yellow;">This knife is available for free from Grizzly Adams or Tom in Rook and can also be bought from any tool NPC for 50gp. It has a base chance of 2% for successful skinning. You need a Skinning Level of 10 to use it.</mark>
* **Skinning Knife:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Crafted through the Crafting system, this knife requires a Skinning Level of 25 or higher to use. It offers a base chance of 6% for successful skinning.</mark>
* **Obsidian Knife:** <mark style="color:yellow;">This high-tier knife is also crafted through the Crafting system. It requires a Skinning Level of 50 or higher and provides a base chance of 12% for successful skinning.</mark>
* **Bonecarving Knife:** <mark style="color:yellow;">The ultimate skinning tool, available through Crafting. It requires a Skinning Level of 75 or higher and has a base chance of 20% for successful skinning.</mark>

## **Skinning Mechanics**

When you defeat a creature, you can attempt to skin it using the appropriate knife. Your base chance of success is determined by the knife you are using and your Skinning Skill level:

* **Base Chance:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Each knife has a base chance for successful skinning.</mark>
* **Skill Improvement:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Your Skinning Skill increases your chance of success. You start with a 2% chance from your initial Skinning Level of 10, and each level beyond 10 increases your chance by 0.2% per skill level.</mark>

For example, if you have a Skinning Level of 30 and are using a Skinning Knife, you will have a total of 6% (from Skinning Skill) + 6% (from the knife) = 12% chance of successful skinning.

## **Advancing in Skinning**

To advance your Skinning skill, focus on skinning as many creatures as possible. Even if you do not succeed in skinning, each attempt grants you experience towards your Skinning Skill. Regularly engaging in skinning activities will steadily improve your skill level, enhancing both your success rate and the quality of the products you obtain.

## **What to Do with Creature Products**

Once you have successfully skinned a creature, you will obtain creature products. These products have several uses:

* **Sell for Gold:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Creature products can be sold to Grizzly Adams for gold, providing a steady source of income.</mark>
* **Use for Item Upgrading:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Products are used in the item upgrading process at The Forge to enhance your crafted items.</mark>
* **Use for Crafting:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Creature products are ingredients in various crafting recipes. They are required to create higher-tier items and equipment.</mark>
* **Enter dungeons:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Creature products are required in order to enter dungeons. Check dragon statue in-game for more details.</mark>

## **Skinning Workflow**

1. **Defeat Creatures:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Engage and defeat monsters to obtain the opportunity to skin them.</mark>
2. **Choose Your Knife:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Select the appropriate knife based on your Skinning Level and the desired success rate.</mark>
3. **Skin the Creature:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Right-click on the creature to skin it and collect the products.</mark>
4. **Use the Products:** <mark style="color:yellow;">Decide whether to sell them, use them for item upgrades, complete dungeons or incorporate them into crafting recipes.</mark>
