So, I was tackling a project over on epedia on standardizing the different leather pages. Just about done with that, but there is a single very weird thing that probably should be addressed.
When you skin an Azure Poloh'izh, you get "an azure-scaled hide" and when you skin an Azure Merrows, you get "an azure scale hide". Both of those are fine, a little close in name, but different items (note the hyphen).
Unfortunately, both tan into the same thing, "some azure-scale leather". And both have different values.
The following is the merrows leather:
>get azu lea from pack
You get some azure-scale leather from inside your alchemy pack.
>app lea careful
You are certain that the leather in the azure-scale leather has a quality of 47, placing it at 'medium quality' on the official Trader's Scale.
You are certain that the leather in the azure-scale leather has a durability of 40, placing it at 'low durability' on the official Trader's Scale.
You are certain that the leather in the azure-scale leather has a workability of 50, placing it at 'somewhat challenging to work with' on the official Trader's Scale.

So yea, that's a thing...:) Not sure if it would be easier to change one of them from azure to some other bluish-color, or have the leathers tan to different things. Just don't make one 'blue', there is already blue-scale stuff that comes from the Maelshyvean Shadow Beasts.
