Dusting

The "Dusting" is a feature which helps the player to get dust from certain creatures, similar to Skinning. To use this feature you need an Blessed Wooden Stake, which can be obtained in the Blessed Wooden Stake Quest.

Method
The Blessed Wooden Stake can only be used on recently-killed bodies, bodies in their first decay state. To use it, you simply use the "Use With" feature of the stake and target the body.

You won't get Creature Products every time you skin a body. If you see a green spark, the product of the specific Monster will appear in the same container as your Blessed Wooden Stake. If you see a yellow spark, you won't get the product. The chance of getting a dead body skinned successfully may vary from creature to creature.

Corpses can be skinned starting 10 seconds after death and before the body gets in the second state of decay, after 5 minutes. After skinning a body, it will "rot" one level (to the second state of decay) and won't be able to be skinned again.

You can obtain the achievement Ashes to Dust by dusting 500 times successfully.
