Full Taxidermist List
By LowFatMilk
Hello Battle Brothers and Sisters!

*****This guide was a long and always an ever evolving, grinding work in progress*****
Ingredients checklist - Completed
Recipes checklist - Completed
Full imagery and pictures - Completed
New recipes added with 'Warriors of the North' DLC - Completed
New recipes added with 'Blazing Desert' DLC - Completed

It was my goal to get as many if not all the recipes for the new Taxidermy crafting shop in this guide. I saved up all of my loot drops and materials over time, and checked in with the Taxidermist every few in-game weeks to see if there are any new recipes.
Once a semi-decent list was extablished I added pictures and more details for ease of viewing.

If you don't want to have any of the recipes explained and instead wish to find them all yourself, then this isn't a guide I recommend :)

Thank you for being patient with info being updated, and cheers for dropping in. Have fun exploring!

Note 27/12/18 - With a huge contribution from the community, the guide has been finished with all recipes, drops and crafting currently in the game added into this one single comprehensive guide. If the game is updated and more recipes are available, then I will add them into the guide as swiftly as I can. But for now, enjoy the guide in its finished state! :)

Special Events
Although these events aren't new with Beasts and Exploration, I figured I might as well add them, just in case newer players (or some older ones) weren't aware they could be done.

The Mastercrafted Bow Event
Requirements
A Bro with the Bowyer background, must be level 6 or higher for the event to trigger.
1x Quality Wood - can usually be purchased in villages or towns near forests or with lumberyards.
500g


Mastercrafted Bow

** The name of the Bro who crafts the bow is used in the item name, my Bro happened to be called Hanke at the time**

It is also possible for the Bowyer to FAIL this event and make a Wonky Bow, and this will make them get a bit upset and you probably won't want to use their crappy bow. I am unsure if failing the event allows the Bro to re-try later on.

Blessed Water Event
Requirements
A Bro with the Monk background, can be any level but the higher he is the more chance of it occurring. Also happens more often during the Undead Crisis. Whilst camping the Bro will approach you and simply give you a Blessed Water item, which is a thrown utility equipped in the shield slot and does damage versus undead (skeletons, weidergangers and any of the vampyric or ancient enemies).


Flask of Blessed Water


Fangs to Antidote Event
Requirements
A Bro with the Witch Hunter background and some Jagged Fangs in your inventory. The Bro will approach you and inform you that he has turned the fangs into antidote. Occurs more frequently during the Greenskin Invasion Crisis
Snake Oil (and Holy Water)
With the Alchemist (check?) camp follower you gain the ability to craft Snake Oil using misc items that can be sold for profit. The following combinations are used to create Snake Oil (also to be confirmed).

Serpent Skin x2, Gossamer x2, Jagged Fangs x2

Poison Gland x2, Nachzehrer Horn x2, Glistening Scales x2

Nachzehrer Brain x3, Adrenaline Gland x2

Nachzehrer Brain x3, Acidic Saliva x2

Glistening Scales x3, Jagged Fangs x2

Serpent Skin x2, Acidic Saliva x2

Petrified Scream x1, Third Eye x1, Gossamer x1

Nachzehrer Horn x2, Third Eye x2, Poison Gland x2

Petrified Scream x2, Adrenaline Gland x2

Jagged Fangs x2, Nachzehrer Brain x3, Nachzehrer Horn x2

Gossamer x3, Poison Gland x3

Serpent Skin x3, Glistening Scales x2

Direwolf Pelt x2, Adrenaline Gland x2

Hyena Fur x2, Acidic Saliva x2

PS. The 'Holy Water' part of this section is simply a reference to a Parkway Drive song; "Snake Oil and Holy Water". To find the actual Flask of Blessed Water item, see the 'Special Events' section

Great info, thanks for putting all in one place. :brotherfist::brotherblood:
LowFatMilk  [author] 23 Aug, 2020 @ 4:48am 
All good in the hood my dude! There are better armour upgrades anyway in my opinion, with the right RNG and levelling, a heavy armour Bro won't need the fatigue buff :brothersword: :brotherfist:
MeepdragonVII 23 Aug, 2020 @ 4:45am 
Sorry, my mistake, most probably that upgrade item was added by one of the mods I used prior to BD and that's why it doesn't show up anymore.

Thanks anyway for your answer!
Now I'll only have to chop down a dozen Schrats or so to make use of the Gossamer : ) (probably I'll skip that and get loads of nets instead...).
