I just started on the shard and I'm wondering if there's much of a market for plain leather and bones. If there is, how much are they going for? It'd be good to know whether it's worth it for me to pick up bones during these early graveyard-trawling days.
I would pick them up. Both stack and can be kept in the bank in unlimited quantities (almost, 60k x 125). Bones are used for bone armor BOD's although currently not in high demand they might be in the future if changes are made to bone armor crafting difficulty. Leather is always useful for BODS and tailoring training.
Yeah, I've had the same problems with bone BODs in the past. If the rewards aren't buffed or the difficulty isn't nerfed, they're just not worth it. Do you happen to know how much plain leather goes for?
