As you push deeper into the deadly lands ofV Rising, tougher enemies require you to have better gear, and that means hunting down rarer resources. One of the key materials you will start chasing midway through your vampire journey is Thick Hide, and luckily, it’s not hard to get if you know where to look.

It’s essential for upgrading your equipment, unlocking powerful armor sets, and progressing into high-tier crafting. Similar to Rugged Hide and Pristine Hide, you can obtain this material by killing certain mobs in the Dunley Farmlands and Hallowed Mountains areas, which we will discuss in more detail.
