Which animal pelts are needed to craft the Legend of the East Satchel?

The Legend of the East Satchel is one of the most valuable items in Red Dead Redemption 2, as it allows you to carry 99 of every item in the game. To craft this satchel, you must first unlock all other satchels by upgrading your camp''s provisions through Pearson, the camp cook. This requires gathering specific animal pelts and materials. The Legend of the East Satchel is the final upgrade, and it requires a combination of pelts from some of the rarest animals in the game.\n\nTo craft the Legend of the East Satchel, you need one Perfect Pelt from each of the following animals: Cougar, Panther, Bison, Elk, Beaver, Boar, and Iguana. These pelts must be in perfect condition, meaning you need to hunt these animals with the right weapon and aim for a clean kill. For example, cougars and panthers require a rifle or bow with improved arrows, while smaller animals like beavers and iguanas need a varmint rifle or small game arrows.\n\nFinding these animals can be challenging, but there are specific locations where they spawn more frequently. Cougars are commonly found in the forests of Roanoke Ridge, near Annesburg, and in the western part of Big Valley. Panthers are rarer and can only be found in the woods south of Braithwaite Manor in Lemoyne. Bison roam the Heartlands and Great Plains, while Elk are abundant in the forests of Big Valley and Cumberland Forest. Beavers are often near water sources like the Dakota River, and boars can be found in the forests of Scarlett Meadows and Bluewater Marsh. Iguanas are exclusive to the islands west of Rhodes, particularly Flat Iron Lake.\n\nOnce you have all the required pelts, return to Pearson at your camp. You must have already crafted the previous six satchels to unlock the Legend of the East Satchel recipe. If you haven''t, focus on gathering the materials for those first. Pearson will craft the satchel for you, and it will be available in your inventory immediately.\n\nA common challenge players face is finding perfect pelts. To ensure a clean kill, study the animal first using your binoculars or by aiming at it. This will reveal the animal''s quality (poor, good, or perfect). Use the appropriate weapon and aim for the head or heart to maintain the pelt''s quality. Additionally, using bait or scent cover can help lure animals closer, making them easier to hunt.\n\nFor new players, it''s important to note that hunting legendary animals does not count toward this satchel. Legendary pelts are used for different crafting recipes at the Trapper. Focus on regular animals for the satchel upgrades. Experienced players can speed up the process by using the Buck Antler Trinket, which increases the chances of obtaining perfect pelts.\n\nIn summary, crafting the Legend of the East Satchel requires patience, skill, and knowledge of animal locations. Focus on perfect pelts, use the right weapons, and upgrade your camp''s provisions step by step. This satchel is a game-changer, allowing you to carry more items and making your journey through the Wild West much smoother.
