Puffskeins shed fur that can be used toweave traits into gearat an Enchanted Loom. The material is needed to weave any tier-one trait and is particularly useful in the early game. Once you start unlocking tier two andtier three traits, you won’t find much use for Puffskein Fur, but it’s still worth capturing the creatures and selling them at the Brood and Peck in Hogsmeade.

Where To Find Puffskeins In The Wild

How To Catch A Puffskein
Puffskeins are by far the easiest magical beasts to capture in Hogwarts Legacy, which makes sense considering they’re some of the first creatures the game wants you to rescue. They’re not particularly fast andyou only need to press the prompt twicein order to successfully capture one, so you don’t need to worry about usingForce spellsto immobilize them.
The only thing that can make Puffskeins a bit of a hassle to capture is their small size. It’s quite easy to lose track of a Puffskein while you’re chasing it through the forest or tall grass. While not strictly necessary, you may sneak up on the creatures by using Disillusionment if you’re afraid they might get away otherwise.
