For the most part, the world ofWartalesis grounded in gritty reality. That is until players run into a pack of literal spirit animals in a foggy forest. Luckily, these creepy critters can be killed with ordinary steel and old-fashioned violence, and when the mist and ectoplasm settle, they leave behind curious loot that leaves many mercenaries wondering what exactly is in their hands.

Oddly enough, even spirits leave corpses behind inWartales, and these are represented by the aptly-namedGhost Carcassthat players can stow in their inventories. They might sound worthless at first, but they’re actually used in two different recipes that can help sustain anybudding band of mercenariesdown the road.
What Are Ghost Carcasses For In Wartales?
Simply put, Ghost Carcasses are used forcrafting. Ifplayers have the right skills or camp equipment unlocked, they can turn these monster drops into edibleJerkyor valuableWhite Leather.
To make Jerky out of Ghost Carcasses, players must have aDrying Rackbuilt in their camp. The recipe for this crafting station can be purchased from theHighlands Trackers Camp, which is located west of Stromkapp in Tiltren. Go past the lake and up the forest, and talk to the NPCs inside the camp. They will sell the Drying Rack schematic in exchange for Pristine Teeth.
To turn Ghost Carcasses into White Leather, players will need aTanning Rackinstead. The schematics for this can either be purchased from theArthes Trackers Campin the far southwest corner of the world map or unlocked by upgrading theCannibalismskill. Again, place the rack anywhere on the camp, thenupgrade it to level 2. Doing so will unlock the ability to convert Ghost Carcasses into White Leather.
Players who rely on crafting their own gear will want to keep a healthy stockpile of White Leather handy since it’s used in many Tier 3 equipment recipes, including the ones for steel weapons. This means thatWartalesplayerscan make a killer profitby selling crafted items. With this in mind, using Ghost Carcasses to make Jerky isn’t advised, especially since ordinary meat is cheaper and more common.
Lastly, just like other food items, Ghost Carcasses can be used to flee from animal encounters. This should only be used as a last-ditch option forwhen the party cannot afford to fightor has absolutely nothing else to distract attacking animals with.
