Cowhides are dropped by cows or undead cows when they are killed. If it is brought to a tanner, it can be turned into soft leather for 1 coin or hard leather for 3 coins. Tanners can be found in Al Kharid, the Ranging Guild, Forthos Dungeon, Canifis, Auburnvale, Neitiznot, Kebos Lowlands, and the Crafting Guild. Soft and hard leathers can then be crafted into various pieces of equipment through the Crafting skill.

It is also used alongside a unicorn horn to generate a unicow in the Tower of Life.

Good places to gather cowhides are the pastures in Lumbridge, north of Ardougne market, and south of Falador, though the Falador pastures are closer to a bank.

If a player has completed the Hard tier of the Falador Diary or is level 99 in Crafting, then they can access the bank chest in the Crafting Guild, which is quite close to a field of cows. Note that access to the guild requires a brown apron, golden apron, or a Crafting cape.

Another option is to teleport to the Lumbridge cow field with the Cowbell amulet, then teleport to a bank (such as with a Ring of dueling to Castle Wars) to bank the cowhides.
