what do i do with cow hide in runescape

Cowhide in RuneScape is usually used for crafting or for making money. You can tan it into soft leather or hard leather, then use that leather to make items like gloves, boots, chaps, vambraces, and bodies.

Best uses

  • Sell it on the Grand Exchange if you just want quick cash.
  • Take it to a tanner to turn it into leather, then craft gear for Crafting training.
  • In Old School RuneScape, a common early-game method is to kill cows, bank the hides, and tan them in Al Kharid for profit.

Simple answer

If you are early game, the easiest move is usually:

  1. Kill cows.
  2. Pick up the cowhides.
  3. Bank them or sell them.
  4. Tan them if you want Crafting XP or extra profit.

Quick tip

If you only want money, check whether raw cowhides or tanned leather sell better right now, because prices change often.

TL;DR

Cowhide is mainly for selling or tanning into leather for Crafting.
