Let’s start things off by actually discussing just what exactly a Supple Piel is. In Monster Hunter Rise, there are things known as “items” which can come in handy for various uses, most of which include upgrade materials and forging materials, and they can come in handy during quests. 

Supply Piel falls in the Monster Material type, and it has a rarity of 8, meaning that while it is not the rarest item in-game, it is pretty rare nonetheless. Players can hold only 99 Supple Piels at any given time, and if they have any abundant, they will need to sell them and gain a total of 610 Gold.
