Also fyi my friend is a rank C smith like u and if u dont know already rank C smithing gets u a 29% chance at a rank 8 manual. Not great odds but certainly not impossible either.
Sorry, the hetero kite shield is the last thing on my mind. No, I need fine leathers for completing the plate gauntlets for skill exp. I also need them for making straps for the boot manuals for rank B skill exp.

Those odds arent impossible, but with such a low success rate, the chances of Big Failures are substantially higher. Big failures will reduce your progress a lot, enough to render any successes you have useless.

I've tried the kobold bandits.... used about 750 arrows (2-4 shots each) and came out with.... 2 fine leathers, 2 finest, 31 common leathers.
Not exactly a great drop rate there
