In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, many items can be acquired through purchase or theft, but crafting remains a valuable skill, especially for essential materials like deer skin. Here's how to obtain it.
As the name implies, deer skin is primarily obtained by skinning deer. This requires unlocking a relevant survival perk. Once unlocked, you can hunt deer in the game's various wooded areas—they're relatively common, so finding them shouldn't be difficult. However, hunting isn't your only option.
Alternatively, you can purchase deer skin. Poacher and bandit camps sometimes have it in stock, but reliable sources include:
Most settlements have traders who periodically stock deer skin. While Trosky Castle's vendors often have a good supply, smaller settlements also offer this resource. Note that the gamekeeper in Zhelejov might occasionally have trading issues, but as a last resort, you could attempt pickpocketing him.
