FoxparksandMelpacasboth drop Leather and are close to your starting zone. Head over to theGrassy Behemoth Hills, which are just to the northwest of the Plateau of Beginnings.
While Melpacas are a little rarer to come across, you’re sure to sight more than a few Foxparks the first time you run through these hills, so get started farming them to acquire some Leather drops fast. Even better, capture both a Melpacas and a Foxpark with a Pal Sphere and get these new friends to fight for you on your Leather-gathering quest.
Foxparks will additionally dropFlame Organswhen defeated, which are required to make many important crafting recipes in the game like Fire arrows, Heat Resistant Armor and various saddles forPal mounts. As such, farming Foxparks is the best way to get both Leather and Flame Organs early on in the game.
If you’re in a pinch and need more Leather quickly, then you can always purchase some in theSmall Settlement, which is the closest area to your starting location with shops. Head west of the Plauteau of Beginnings and you’ll find the Small Settlement in an arid biome along with a Fast Travel point. Once there, you can speak with theWandering Merchantto purchase Leather, along with other useful goods like Red Berries and Wheat. Keep in mind that you’ll need150 Gold Coinsto make a purchase. You can occasionally find Gold Coins in chests scattered around the world, and from defeating other Pals, such as Direhowls.
