Since we have the toggleable ability to note bars along with dragon bones after the completion of DS2, I think they should also make it possible to note dragon hides that are dropped from Chromatic Dragons including brutals.
I would normally be hesitant that it would be too powerful for crafting xp, but since steel dragons can get you 99 construction fairly easily idk why it would be that much of a problem. It's not like there is a huge economy for dragon hides at the moment and its an RSPS, so things are meant to be easier (especially when they are earned like through DS2).
Let me know your thoughts(and prayers).
