Snowhide Hunter's Tunic

The Snowhide Hunter's Tunic is a Rare body piece for players who fight up close, whatever their weapon. It is the only documented body equipment that boosts both Weapon Damage and Hakuda Damage at once (+2% each), making it unusually flexible for hybrid melee builds that mix armed strikes with hand-to-hand skills. The +1% Melee Defense softens trades, and +2 Equipment Load frees up capacity for heavier pieces in other slots.

It is crafted rather than looted: the recipe uses Bear and Panther Parts, materials harvested from the game's beast enemies. That makes it deterministic to obtain - hunt beasts until you have the parts - in contrast to chest-pool gambling. Community documentation does not record the exact part counts, the schematic source, a level requirement or the tunic's weight.

It belongs to the Snowhide Hunter line alongside the misc-slot Snowhide Hunter's Mantle (a posture-and-health piece crafted from arctic beast pelts) and a matching hat in the head slot. Pure hakuda specialists may prefer the Gravewood Warset's +2.5% Hakuda at level 80, but the tunic's dual-damage spread is unmatched. Modifier rolls apply as usual, rerollable at a Tailor for 400-500 Soul Tokens.
