This is the Borean Leather of Cataclysm.

Commento di 707464

Skinners, since currently everyone is fighting hands, teeth, and arms for mobs, take this time to skin this stuff. Sethria's roost is a perfect spot, people keep killing mobs..yet no one seems to be skinning anything. IT was a gold mine of corpses for me.

Commento di 707464

Another good spot, Legions Fate, the first area you come to in Vash, you can skin the crab critters for leather. It is a lot more calmer now, however there's still tons of unskinned corpses.

Commento di kardinal

I found too much competition at Sethria's Roost. The Slitherfin Eels at the boat just East of Legion's Fate spawn as fast as you can kill them. There's one spot in the center of that area where four spawns will attack you as soon as the previous eels are killed; stand there and just rack up the kills by whatever means you find best as the mobs are just delivered to you. They drop 3-4 Savage Leather Scraps or a Leather. I've sold about 800 Savage Leather from farming there, and made a pretty penny so far.

Commento di 256244

I thought the pale roost in Deepholm was a good place.
those stone drakes that everyone has to kill yield 1 savage leather. I found little competition and they died faster than i could skin them. hope this helps other people out there.

Commento di 715170

The best place to farm this is 100% Obsidian Forest in Twilight highlands. The Obsidian Charscale there give you Blackend dragonscales and sometimes Savage leatherx2 from a skin. They also sometimes drop Strange Bloated Stomachs, which give you random volatiles.

You're welcome. :)

P.s. Don't come on Ravencrest server and ruin my life with this knowledge, thanks!

Edit: The lost city is 100% better than this for straight leather, 5 stacks in 10-20 minutes depends on how fast you can go. But the place i listed is for sure the best for some scales.

Edit: The lost city got nerfed and so did the stone bats. Looks like blizzard wants people to farm the Vanilla/TBC way.

Commento di mazhop

For us LW's out there...if you're goal is to purchase all crafted patterns from the vendor in TH, you'll need 2000 of these. Good luck on your farming.

If you have any friends, now's the time to call in favors!

Commento di 620618

Ok, please tell me where I am being stupid! The scraps can be right-clicked into savage leather by anyone big enough to reach the buttons on their own mouse, but the leatherworking trainer offers to "teach" me how to do this for 6 odd gold. I'm on my tauren, and she only has three phalanges on each hand and no room in her braincase for cells, but this sounds like a Bliz Goof.

Commento di tarax

Actually the best place to farm this while a lot of people are leveling is in Uldum in the Cradle of the Ancients. There is a quest where you have to go kill wolves in there.. Most people have to kill 2 to 3 to one quest item in order to complete the quest. Lots of free leather.

The issue is you can't complete the last quest in Uldum in which you open the coffer (The Coffer of Promise). This will transform the area so you are out of phase.

Commento di 194667

all right, I noticed this hasn't been mentioned yet..
Here's the farming place that is the most efficient, fast, furious, and hilarious lol

TOL BARAD right after the battle is over.
West of Baradin Hold.
Everyone killing crocs for dailies.
Croc corpses all over the place.
Especially if you're from a high pop server, it's quite amazing lol. If you're doing daily each day there anyway, just one skinning session there will net you innumerable number of leathers.

I mean.. we're just keeping the place clean :p

Commento di coranto

This probably isn't as good as Tol'vir, but if you don't turn in the quest Blackout you can keep using the hook to jump on a dragon's back. Dragon's don't put up a fight, so you can keep going without needing to bandage/eat. I did this as an 85 mage for a couple hours and never had to stop to get mana. Each one usually drops a dragon flank and some leather or dragonscale. Many times you get 2x leather. Mobs are on a perma respawn, so you never run out. Doesn't even matter if there are a dozen other people doing the same thing.

Stops the quest chain - but when you're selling stacks of leather at over a 100g a stack, the follow-up quests can wait.

quick edit - this quest is in twilight highlands at the obsidian forest btw - sorry for leaving that detail out!

Commento di 741059

Is anyone else slightly annoyed that there is no real place to easily farm leather in cata, such as Sholazar Basin, or the Sons of Hodir daily quest area in Wrath where there were constantly skinnable mobs all over the place, close together and easily killable if no-one was questing them. Now that the stone bats have been nerfed Sethria's roost will be a fist fight.

WTB less elementals and more skinnable mob areas.

Commento di Thiron

Basically, they nerfed from 25 stacks per hour to around 5 stacks... UGH. Leveling LW will be hellish

Commento di Hawkish

New place to farm leather would be Twilight Highlands. From The Black Breach down towards Dragonmaw Port. This area is filled with Owls,Wolves,Gryphons and Elks which are all skinnable (sans doe). They have roughly 50-70k hp but the respawn is fast and there's an awful lot of mobs you will never have to wait on repops.

Coordinates are 61,32 to 66,37

Commento di 53873

i can confirm that the bats in deepholm are NOT longer skinnable! now what?:P

Commento di 742339

Stone Bats found in Deepholm; Pipistrello di Pietra Is no longer skinnable as of the hotfix on 12/22/2010.

Commento di 742688

when you leave comments here about how a spot is a good place to farm. guess what, it gets hotfixxed. seriously keep it to youself please.

Commento di 744066

I agree with Hawkish... Twilight Highlands area from Kirthaven southeast to Dragonmaw Port is a great place to farm savage leather. It is unusual to find owls that are skinnable, but they are in this case. The only problem I've noted is issues with being left in combat after killing something (probably due to environmental factors: doe running around after you kill an elk, wolves killing elk on their own etc) but it's still worth it, and the mobs drop cooking mats as well (toughened flesh and delicate wing).

Commento di 254283

I can confirm that the spot in twilight highlands is great. As an assassination rogue I can't handle the lost city unlike the rogue above me here, so if that's the situation, go to twilight highlands.

Commento di 267557

A good place to farm these is also the Obsidian Forest in Twilight Highlands, which also drop .

You can just scower the area and skin any mobs left over by other players.

Commento di ChibiRory

As a Prot PvP Pally with PvP Glyphs the best place to farm is Lost City of Tolvir just as long as u have Seal of Insight on and you use your Holy Power to heal yourself with Word of Glory, and for the Tamer just go to the entrance til he goes back to his spot. Hope this helps for those Pally Skinners like me ;D

Nerfed :[

Commento di 303072

I'm not really sure if it is the BEST place, because I have yet to try other spots. But the spot I just used for the past hour was in the Cradle of the Ancients in Uldum, where all the Shaggy Desert Coyotes are located. There is a decent amount of them, and the respawn rate is pretty good. A few down sides are that the Diseased Vultures flying around are not only annoying, but are also not skinnable, so as a hunter tracking beasts its basically useless to track them. However, there are also Armadillos around the area (neutral beasts) that can be skinned, and there is also a large amount of critters in the area for anyone trying to get the guild achievment for killing 50,000 critters. I found that using multi shot worked great when fighting a single coyote or 2, because the extra arrows hit the critters for 1 shot and kill them. I killed a good 300 critters while farming for leather in this area. Plus, people quest in this area, so most of them will leave bodies around that you can skin. I followed 3 different questers over the course of 15 minutes and gained about 2 stacks of Savage Leather. Also, nothing in this area drops Savage Leather SCRAPS, just the leather itself. Meaning you don't need to combine hundreds of scraps to get your heavy leather =)

Commento di 158206

I think the best place is Silver Tide Trench in Vashj'ir(The place where 2 goblins are with balloons that you have to fill as quest objective), the mobs will drop scraps sometimes(more chance on 1 Savage Leather), but they are really easy to kill compared to Twilight Highlands mobs that have about 90k HP.

Commento di 707107

You can bug the mobs by running back into the main chamber and pick off the elite then tigers one by one if you're having issues burning down the elite the normal way described.

Commento di 585879

Granchio Saltatore Chelamonca these are the best ones to skin i believe.
They are located in Vashj'ir, between Legion's fate and Seafarer's Tomb, that's the starting place.
(The place you get too when using the Vashj'ir Portal) that can be found in Stormwind on the little isle with all the others portals, after you've done the Hero's Call: Vashj'ir!.
These drop's 1 - 3 Cuoio Selvaggio about 50 % chance, 2 - 4 Frammenti di Cuoio Selvaggio about 50 % chance aswell.
(You always get one of them)
And last they aswell have a low skinn chance of Stomaco Stranamente Gonfio that's around 3 %.

There is loads of crabs and they spawn fast, they only have around 30951 HP so any AoE class can bring them out easily.
The Strange Bloated Stomach has a 20 % chance to drop any of the "Volitale's"
1-4 & 20 %
1-2 & 20 %
Terra Instabile 1-2 & 20 %
Acqua Instabile 1-2 & 20 %
Vita Instabile 1-2 & 20 %

And if that's not all, they drop alot of greys that you easily get a few HUNDRED gold of by selling.
(Easier with the addon "SELLJUNK") Helps alot with the selling.

EDIT : Fixed Links

ENJOY!

Commento di Alaurynn

This is genious, thanks for the tip! I did this as a level 80 BM hunter, and even though they take a long time to kill because they are level 85, they never aggro, you take no damage, they respawn constantly, there's no competition, and they give awesome xp since they are so much higher than me.

These dragonkin drop:

coin of varying amounts up to 48 silver
Dragon Flanks (for cooking level 475 - 525 recipes)
Savage Leather (no scraps)
Blackened Dragonscales (also needed for LW)
Strange Bloated Stomachs (which contain 1 or 2 of any of the five Volatile elements: earth, air, fire, water, life)
green weapons and armor of 81-85 level (great to wear or sell for enchanting mats)
Epic purple weapons and gear of 85 level (approx 1% chance, but the items sell for about 20k - 25k gold on my server)
grey weapons at 3-5g each
various grey claws and teeth that sell for up to 8g/stack

Update: I switched to Survival spec and mowed them down much faster. Since they can't be aggro'd and your pet can't reach them, it's much better to use the shots that can kill them faster, many of which are in the Survival tree. Less than 20 seconds per kill at level 80, so level 84-85 players should be able to 2 or 3-shot them.

Commento di Contiki

I was a bit skeptical if Splitclaw Skitterers really were that good with their Savage Leather Scraps generally indicating a low-grade farming mob. At least my own tests show they actually are good. Even if one other player was killing them they were still respawning fast enough for me to pretty much continuously get skitterers of my own.

To put things into perspective,

Tol'vir remains your best place as long as you're not locked out
After that, if it's just leather you're after, kill Splitclaw Skitterers
After that, go for Twilight Highlands animals southeast of Kirthaven (Highland Worgs, Highland Elks, Tawny Owls and Untamed Gryphons)
If you'd like yourself some Blackened Dragonscales, mix and match with Obsidian dragonkin in southern Twilight Highlands (Obsidian Charscales, Obsidian Viletongues and Obsidian Pyrewings). It doesn't seem to matter much whether you actually have Wyrmhunter Hooks from the quest Blackout or not. While jumping onto dragons is fun and gives you enemies that don't fight back, the actual amount of leather and dragonscales is pretty much the same as if you're running around on the ground. Do what you enjoy most ;-)

Some (conservative) numbers from what I've seen so far. I play an Assassination Rogue in mid-heroic instance gear. Your mileage may vary:

Tol'vir: 90 Savage Leather (three resets in 15 minutes)
Tol'vir: Roughly 115 Savage Leather (four resets in 20 minutes)
Vash'jir: 160 Savage Leather per hour
Twilight Highlands (animals): 140 Savage Leather per hour
Twilight Highlands (Obsidian dragonkin): 100 Savage Leather plus 50 Blackened Dragonscales per hour

Conclusion for me so far:

For leather and nothing else, max out Tol'vir instance resets (either three resets if I'm queued for a heroic instance, so I can actually still join that once it's ready, four resets otherwise). Once Tol'vir's done, switch to Vash'jir and kill Splitclaw Skitterers. Return to Uldum in time for new Tol'vir instances.
Results in roughly
180 leather per hour (3 resets)
195 leather per hour (4 resets)
For leather mixed with Blackened Dragonscales, max out Tol'vir instance resets, then switch to either ground- or air-killing Obsidian dragonkin in southern Twilight Highlands. Return to Uldum in time for new Tol'vir instances.
Results in roughly
150 leather and 30 dragonscales per hour (3 resets)
160 leather and 25 dragonscales per hour (4 resets)
For maximum Blackened Dragonscales, ignore Tol'vir and either ground- or air-kill Obsidian dragonkin in southern Twilight Highlands.
Results in roughly
100 leather and 50 dragonscales per hour

Naturally, depending on gear, dedication, class, talents and whatnot you're bound to get different numbers but the relation between what each location yields will probably be similar. Hope this helps.

Commento di Crucinex

The best and most efficient idea I've tried yet. You get 20 savage leather, sometimes 21-22, and maybe a pristine hide within (assuming you aren't awful) 5 minutes or so. Also, to make things quicker, after you kill the tigers, you can step into the entrance where the three friendly mobs are and it will disengage you from the elite. Not to mention rep :D

Commento di 254283

Now that I've geared up I no longer have to farm for leather in the twilight highlands. I farm the blackened dragonscales there, but the leather I get from city of tol'vir. I wasn't able to handle it before, but now as an assassination rogue, I can even use the technique where I kill the elite and the tigers accordingly through the aoe damage. I do this every few hours when I'm online and have time, and use the leather to buy new recipes :)

Commento di 94939

Was very easy to climb up the trees in Obsidian Forest and just have at.

Commento di 653185

I am not surprised they nerfed the stone bats. I am surprised that I can no longer skin the dragons in Grim Batol. They were he only highly reliable source of blackened dragonscales that I know. Almost 100% drop rate. My favorite farming spot is the Shalehide Basilisks in the Pale Roost area of Deepholm. There is a circuit of continuously respawning mobs (read: by the time I get back to the beginning they are starting to respawn) and they have about a 90% drop rate on Basilisk "Liver" which sells for 175g a stack on my server currently. I can do approximately 100 leather per hour. They drop 1 Savage Leather per mob. For a break from the monotony, you can jump over to the Stone Drake area and clean up after all the people questing there. I have yet to get a dragonscale from those mobs, however. And of course, it is nice to throw in a dot to help out the lower levels questing there!

Commento di 752576

I'm not sure if this has been said, but try applying a DoT to the Obsidian Pyrewings in Twilight Highlands if you are farming the area. They won't aggro but eventually they will drop out of the sky, loot, skin and all - usually around the same place you tagged them!

Commento di 730042

Of corse the best spot to farm is the tigers just inside the lost city instance. As a Druid (bear) I cc one of the elites and then agro both sides at same time and pop berserk and spam mangle then my aoe attacks until all tigers are dead and then run in the room with the three npc's and wait to go out of combat and go skinning. but you can only do this so many times before it wont let you back in. Another spot is the crocks in the middle of the new PVP zone. a lot of people doing their dailies and leaving a lot of skins.

Commento di 189794

Went through all the comments and didn't find any good spots but found a really good place in Tol Barad. Best when your faction owns TB but the crocs there have 77K health and are easily killed. In one hour I was able to skin enough to pick up 60 Heavy Savage Leather. This combined with skinning in Lost City you can net yourself a lot of Savage Leather. Enjoy!

Commento di 739760

Hey everyone, as you may already know I've compiled a list of the best Volatile and Embersilk locations so I decided it was time to get on with making some Savage Leather & Blackened Dragonscale Farming guides. So, below you will find the best places I've found to farm for Savage Leather and Blackened Dragonscales. If you're really looking for a good spot I recommend checking out my Lost city of Tol'Vir video, however be warned, not all classes will be able to do it! Good luck and happy hunting!

Commento di stoneybridge

it seems from today the tigers in Tol'vir have been nerfed down to 1 skin each, i did 1 run and got no more than that, it was always 2+

dam you blizz! guess the bubble had to burst sometime :(

upps guess i wasn't the first to notice either lol

Commento di 729834

Yes confirmed, only 1 per tiger now, 2 if you're super lucky. Any other good spots to farm leather out there?

Commento di RiceFarmer

As a fellow skinner I'm sad to announce that the tigers at the entrace in the Lost City - in Uldum - no longer have a 100% chance to drop 2+ savage leathers. It worked fine yesterday so it has been hotfixed as of January 7th, 2011.

Edit: I too thought I was first to notice lol. My bad, never meant to give out already given out information. Skin on!

Commento di 158206

You are way faster now with the Tol'vir prowlers being nerfed, at Obsidian Forest in Twilight Highlands or just a bit lower zone like Vash'jir where alot of fish and crabs stack up near eachother.

Commento di 756337

Alternative place to farm:

Squalone

Players farming rep with quest "Shark Tank" in Tol Barad.

In my realm there are many dead sharks in the sea, all skinnable.

Drop:
1-4 Savage Leather
1-2 Deepsea Scale

Very fast respaw

Commento di 355167

Blizzard removed The Lost City of Tolvir as a farming spot.

The tigers now only drop 1-2 leathers.

Commento di ramesu22000

It appeares that they nerfed the tigers in Lost City of the Tol'vir. They used to always drop 2xSavage Leather, and now they only drop 1 piece, so that means that skinners will only get half of the amount of skins they were getting usualy. Anyway it still is a good place to skin, because of the lack of competition but it now lines up with the other places in the Cataclysm zones.

Commento di 758982

As a low level a good place to farm is in Mount Hyjal, West of Ashen Lake where the Charbringers roam.

I went there as level 79 and could easily farm them, both with a hunter and a balance druid. They respawn fast and drop 2-4 scraps or 1 savage leather plus occasionally bloated stomachs. Sometimes people questing will leave you several corpses to skin as well. I leveled my skinning from 450 to 525 plus dinged 80 on my druid in an hour and a half or so and I got a lot of leather too. From the savage leather I also got around 20 levels on my LW just from turning scraps to savage leather.

Happy hunting
CBHunt
Hellscream

Commento di woohaa

yeah just went to try out tolvir...the amount is definitely alot less. by the time i got locked out i only was able to make 10 heavy savage leather which is less then half you used to be able to get. now it's mainly just 1 leather per tiger. It's still worth doing since you can easily aoe them down and there's zero competition due to it being an instance but if you plan on farming alot of leather then you'll need to go somewhere else when your done.

tol barad's crocs aren't bad if no one is skinning. I was doing dailies there the other day and no one was skinning any mobs so i basically ran around skinning all the crocs people were killing for their daily quest.

Commento di maniacfox

They have more or less halved the rate of leather from Tol'Vir, I used to be able to get 110-120 in 5 sessions. I just ran 5 sessions now and I got 54.

Considering it takes me about 15 mins to do this, that's a rate of just over 200 an hour, which of course I can't do because of the instance lockout. But even if I could I think that's now worse that just going out into the world and farming in Hyjal or Vash'jir, so my advice is don't bother any more. It's not worth your time. And if you find another great spot, keep it to yourself! lol

Commento di 117482

As of January 9th, 2011, lvl 85 mobs now have a chance to be skinned for 2 savage leather

Commento di m0nkeysensei

Crocs in the Tol Barad pvp area during a peak hour is the absolute best for just leather. Just remember to remind people to loot their crocs every once in a while. Made like 200 leather in 40 mins just skinning other people's corpses.

Commento di vitigis

Neferset City is hands down THE best place to farm Savage leather, now that the Lost City instance was nerfed.
They have level 85 tigers there with around 38k HP that drop 1-2 savage leather. They also have a fairly decent spawn rate.
HOWEVER, if you complete and turn in La caduta di Neferset then that part of the zone becomes phased and the tigers all disappear.

Solution: never complete La caduta di Neferset

I got 3 stacks of leather there in about 10 minutes, since you can basically 3 shot the tigers. Also, since most people complete the questline, the only other players you will see in that part of the zone are the ones doing the quests.

Commento di tph88

In Neferset City,. before you do the , tons of camels and tigers and both go down easily and always skin at least 1 savage leather, have occasionally gotten 2 (only once or twice though). Unfortunately I finished the quest without really thinking about it and they all phased out.

Commento di 767031

Another nice spot is in Shimmering Expanse . There are tons of Sandskin Pincers and Snapjaw Groupers in this area.

They have ~30k hp and are very close together. As a Hunter (or any ranged) I can stand in one spot without moving and kill about 6-7 of these crabs and fish. You willl get quite a bit of scraps but the amount of killing you can do in this area makes up for it. The groupers occasionally drop Deepsea scales also.

Another bonus to this area is that you are right next to the Caves where you can vendor all the grey loot really quick.

Sorry I didnt keep track of any exact numbers. Next time I go there i'll go with empty bags so I can be more accurate. I know i got at least 12 bloated stomachs which was nice since I am an engineer with an Electrostatic Condenser which netted me about 20 Volatile Airs.

Good Luck.

Edit: I went back and did about 45 minutes of farming and heres my breakdown:
143 Savage leather (90 leather and 269 scraps)
15 Deepsea Scales
6 Bloated Stomachs
81 gold worth of grey vendor trash
5 green item that went to my enchanter
54 Monstrous crabs that I cooked into +hit food

My pet can easily gather 7 of these mobs up since they are so close. For AoE'ing as a hunter, Survival spec works great because of Serpent Spread and the misdirection spam on my pet with the misdirection glyph.

Commento di 767855

I believe the BEST location to farm savage leather and blackened dragonscale is with Gloomwings. You get 3 at a time, and the respawn time is very short (about 1 minutes or so, I believe). Plus, if you are impatient, or you burn them extra quick, there are other mobs close by to keep you busy, if needed. They are located at 61.5 67.5 or the northwestern most edge of the Obsidian Forest - if they're currently gone (not likely), look for the pile of dead Doyle Gryphons. Please "/ignore" if you are on Garrosh.. thanks :-)

Commento di 283824

If you're a bit lower level (80-82/3) you can farm Brinescale Serpents. You will also find a serpent by the name of Akasha who has about a 2-3 second respawn. Very easy to just sit there and farm them over and over. You'll get plenty of Savage Leather and Savage Leather Scraps as well as Deepsea Scales and Snake Eyes which can be used or sold for some good coin. You will also fill your bags fast with plenty of vendor fodder for some additional coin.

Commento di Shnook

Best place to farm?

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but the best place is without a doubt the crocodiles in Tol Barad.

Tonnes of people are doing daily quests here every day which involve killing these, simply just run around and skin what people leave behind. Sure there's people skinning too, but it's like a gold mine of leather, and there's no shortage.

It's usually better to do it immediately after the battle, 'cause that's when the most people are active. I just run around helping people who aren't skinners kill their mobs, if there's nothing around to help myself too. :)

If your faction loses a lot, make sure you join the battle just before the end, so you can hide for a few minutes until your PvP wears off, and then join the grind. You won't be able to get here if the other faction controls the zone, so you need to get in early.

Commento di 678937

After a few days trying out different spots I have to say that Shimmering Expanse is my personal favourite for farming leather. There is a ledge to the south-west of Nespirah swarming with skinnable mobs.

I start at the very south-west part of it on my shaman and grab packs of 4-7 crabs to aoe down (I don't bother with the groupers - they drop Deepsea Scales which aren't worth much, as well as doing an annoying attack that damages your for 5% of your max health per second). I aoe the crabs down, looting and moving on quickly from section to section until I get to the end of the ledge (it's marked by a drop-off and one of Nespirahs tentacles). After I have done this I log onto my paladin (My skinner, who has a very poor ret set in comparision to my shaman's raid gear). He quickly runs across the ledge, skinning the crabs my shaman has left behind. This whole process takes about 7 minutes, yields me 10-12 savage leather, 3-4 stacks of scraps and the occasional bloated stomach.

Savage Leather goes for 200g a stack on my server, so I've found this to be much more profitable and relaxing than the mining I was doing before, as there is no competition over spots unlike there is for mining.

Commento di 780134

My method of farming savage is logging off on my Hunter (Skinner) in the Twilight Highlands where the and are located. Log on my DK tank, go to the same spot where I parked my hunter and pull all the skinnable mobs I can where my hunter logged off at. Loot all of them (This also includes (small) chances of BoE epics.), log back onto my hunter and skin, and repeat. Easier way for me.

Commento di Rocketpoodle

I agree that Sethria's roost is a great spot to farm savage leather when you don't have control of Tol Barad but there are some pros and cons:

Pros:
-Large Numbers of creatures
-Low health
-Fast respawn rate

Cons:
-Drop mostly 2-4 scraps
-Don't seem to drop Blackened Dragonscales

I am able to pull groups of five or six at a time with an 85 feral tank and take almost no damage

Commento di reidsb

As of patch 4.0.6, you can now skin Savage Leather from Darkwood Broodmothers and Darkwood Lurkers on the Tol Barad peninsula.

I am just basing this on a couple minutes of skinning but I believe this may now be the best place for leather. I am often getting double leather drops, and a significant increase in Bloated Stomachs (although they may have just increased the droprate on those across the board, I do not know for sure). The respawn rate is very good and there are tons of them. Not to mention there are usually people killing them for Tol Barad dailies.

Commento di DTJames

Spiders in Tol Barad is best place to farm the savage leather for me so far, I got roughly 220 leathers in an hour from skinning dead spider off other players or yours. They're everywhere with insane respawn rate!

Commento di reidsb

The respawn rate is insane too.

Commento di 791313

Oasis of Vir'sar (27,8) in Uldum is a good place to grind for leather.

Commento di cribby

This vendor hangs out in Smuggler's Scar in Vash where you can sell and repair. Handy.

Right outside, you have a plethora of animals to skin; turtles, threshers, groupers, eels, crabs, serpents. Not only are they skinnable, they all drop cooking mats.

For your pleasure, this area also has ore, herbs and goblins. Don't bypass the goblins, they drop cloth, fish scales and oil and they sell surprisingly well to the lower levels who don't yet have their reagent glyphs.

This area may not be the best for savage leather, by the number, but it's a damn good spot overall.

Commento di ThomasJohan

Hey guys.

For your sake, I just went farming in The Tol Barad Peninsula for 1 hour.
I ended up with 15 stacks of savage leather, which imo is rather good for just one hour.

spiders in tol barad, best place by a mile

always people doing their dailys there, piles of spiders, high respawn rates.

most of the time you don't even have to kill them, just run around skinning everything that people have looted.

Commento di Mirouku

I really love Crocodile quest in Tol Barad....lots of fresh meat that only awaits for my knife :)
I farm lot or leather from crocodile...

Commento di Evellia

After trying out both Tol Barad and Shimming Expanse I have to say that for me Vash will win every time. I followed Ariatarka's path (instructions above) with killing the groupers and here are my results:

This list is from exactly one hour of farming as I used Potion of Treasure Finding and stopped immediately afterward.

221 Savage Leather (mind you a lot are scraps I converted, I had to make bag space during farming or else I could give you more specifics)
20 Deepsea Scale
14 Tiny Treasure Chest
5 Strange Bloated Stomach
127 Monstrous Claw
6 Deepsea Sagefish
4 Fathom Eel
146g from vendor trash
6 green items

I spent 1 hour previously in Tol Barad with a pot up and skinned slightly more savage leather but didn't manage half of the tiny chests, vendor gold, or random greens. I much preferred Vash. For anyone curious I farmed using my bm hunter and a turtle (terrorpene). Spam MD all of the mobs to him, drop an explosive trap, bestial wrath, multi-shot, and they are down in seconds. Takes longer to loot and skin than to kill.

edit: All these skins were from my kills, only other person

Good luck all farming. :D
Not going to say Tol Barad is the best,
it may be, but these are just numbers for you
to compare to your current farming spot. :D

I've never tried farming TB after it ends, but I know that in Deepholm at (36, 18) in The Pale Roost is a great place to farm these and Blackened Dragonscales because the Stone Drakes that fall from the sky have around 50k health and they fall faster than I can skin them. There's hardly any down time at all.

Commento di 574361

Well now that more people are opening up the dailys for Mark of the World Tree, namely Pyrorachnophobia, I think The Widow's Clutch in the Molten Front will surpass Tol Barad. I have used Tol and Obsidian up till now and had alot of fun Doting the drakes for extra kills, but the only kills i needed to make in the Clutch today was to get past live spiders to loot the sea of leather that was laying there. I made 56 heavy in 36 min. of farming. It helps to give a yell or local defense reminder once and a while asking everyone to please loot their spiders.

Commento di Bonanca

Is it possible to get more than 1 Savage Leather by one Skinning from normal mobs?

Cause i always get only one Leather from Skinning low lvl mobs.

Commento di 841960

There are two places I had luck farming.

1. Deepholm - In The Pale Roost where the stone giants are throwing rocks at dragons. The dragons are elite, but don't hit as hard as most normal 85 mobs, and are weakened to 1/4 health by the giants surrounding the area. They literally just fall into your lap. They give Savage Leather and Blackened Dragonscales pretty evenly.

2. Molten Front - The spiders in the Forlorn Spire always drop at least one savage leather. If you have already recruited the Shadow Warden with Marks of Hyjal, your job is even easier since a daily quest for killing spiders appears, thus allowing other players to do your dirty work. Watch out for the respawn rate.

Commento di Edoralf

One of my favorite places to farm is the Pale Roost in Deepholm. Dragons fall out of the sky, lose half their health, go bear form, kill and skin. And they never run out! ^.^

Commento di Alycian

A nice place for savage in 4.2 is the Fireland dailies, cinderweb spiders have a ridiculously fast spawn rate and people leave the corpses all over. You'll need the Shadow Wardens unlocked to get the quests for them I believe.

Commento di 839008

If you are working the Mount Hyjal dailies the Brimstone Hound is very prevalent throughout the "The Regrowth" area. Packs of 3 and 4 at a time can be pulled with ease. Must have phase 2 of Mount Hyjal unlocked.

Commento di czeshirecat

TB is great if there's lots of people about, but nowadays I don't bother.
If Im after dragon scale, pale roost in deepholm.
For savage leather, I've tested Twilight highlands (NW of Dragonmaw) and Vash'jir on the crabs near the sunken ships where you originally arrived.
Twilight highlands guarantees a single skin. Occasional extra one with the guild perk. There's a run between them and you're also fighting level 84 mobs so they take longer to down.
In vash, although you get scraps mostly from the crabs, they're close together and die easily for level 85s (my gear atm is poor questing gear) My moonkin runs along the floorbed to avoid the naga, puts a moonfire and insect swarm on each, continues running round the area then loots/skins after all the mobs are down. I'd guess that area averages 3 scraps per mob plus full skins. I get approx 35 full skins in just over 10 mins in the 3 bordering sandy zones I circuit. Plus because of the sheer number of corpses, you come away with a lot more greenies (lower level ones than TH)

Commento di Deedman

I thought I'd add my own take on the suggestion that Fulgorater had posted above, on my hunter alt.

Same mobs, but being BM spec with a turtle (the Shell Shield ability of the pet helps a lot, along with usual +healing and tanking pet talents) and using the Misdirection glyph constantly once it runs out means that essentially you can group up about 5-8 mobs or possibly more and AoE them down with Multi-Shot and the like.

By doing this in the same spot, I can safely farm with minimal effort and normally with Mend Pet running, there is no damage being done to the pet.

Commento di denimpowell

I ran the yellow aggro crabs in Vas'jir starting at the horde start location for that zone, going just a little south, and looping back. Was able to kill most mobs in 2 GCDs, the rest in 3 - assassination rogue (no stealthing, just blow stuff up). I ran a solid hour of treasure farming potion to get an idea (I know others have posted this strat, just offering more statistics).

The number of savage leather listed is after combining the scraps, and was farmed using the guild bonus to gathering. In addition I'm assuming all trade goods you'll want to use, so their value is not included in the final net earnings. Also assuming you pawn off the monstrous claws, as they'd only be useful if you were leveling cooking.

I found that the best place to farm savage leather is in Tol Barad in the middle killing Darkwood Broodmother, Darkwood Lurker, and the Baradin Fox. Bring a tank with you to help gather them all up. I did this and was able to get 265 savage leather in under an hour. While doing this you can also kill the Darkwood Hatchling Critter in the area to help with the guild achievements Critter Kill Squad (which unlocks the Armadillo Pup companion) and Crittergeddon.

Commento di 793542

Best place to farm this for a hunter has to be zul gurub.Make sure your MM with bombardment and concussive barrage. Run to the left of the entrance towards the giant wasp boss and walk across the rocks and try not to fall in because the fish hurt. Camo from there to the snakes make sure you hug the wall past the 2 Gurubashi Bloodrager's once your at the snakes send your pet in to gather them into a neat pile then just spam multi while kiting them down the path to the boss that drops a maelstrom crystal.Try not to get to close so they dont spit poison on you and they should die before you hit the entrance to the crystal boss

Commento di eeedge

Whistling Grove in Mount Hyjal is an excellent place for an 80 or 81 to farm savage leather before completing all the quest lines. The pacified Hyjal bears repop as quickly as I can kill them and are quite easy to kill. The seem to give non-scrap leather almost all the time.

Commento di 937920

I did a little farming today @ The Pale Roost in Deepholm, and thought I'd add my findings. This was done while under the effect of Potion of Treasure Finding . I farmed for 1 hour, this is what I got.

Gray items vendor value=141 G
24 Boe Greens =192 G
1 boe green recipe (jc) =10 G
14 stacks Savage Leather =2100 G
67 Blackened Dragonscale =603 G
7 Strange Bloated Stomach =80 G
16 Tiny Treasure Chest

The Stomach's contained 16 seperate volatile's.
The Chests contained 86 gold, 95 Embersilk Cloth, 26 Volatile's, 3 boe greens, and 2 blue gems. =545 G

All told, on my server, without using any crafting with the mats, it was a haul of (given an average DE value for the boe's of 8G apiece, and average volatile 5G apiece)

3,671 Gold per hour

Seems a pretty good haul to me ^.^

Commento di XylanTrueheart

The suggestions here were very helpful and I like to add some myself.

When farming for leather it would be, from my perspective more polite to individually /whisper a polite request to anyone that might be killing a leather-bearing mob to fully loot them so you can skin them. This would be better than a zone wide request as it can open up rude and crude remarks. If they don't replay simply move on and don't engage in a zone wide rude discussion. You be surprised that a individual /whisper will gain positive results. A /whisper macro on target would make this efficient.

I agree that Tol Barad is a very good place to farm. However as time has passed the conditions of farming there has changed. This is from the perspective of my server. When we gain control of Tol Barad there used to be quite a few players flocking to do the dailies there. Nowadays there may be a couple or three who bother on any given day of the week to do them thusly the crocolisk farming isn't quite as lucrative as it once was. The same applies to the spiders as few bother to the dailies there as well. There used to be a constant stream of players doing the dailies in either place and the weekends were the busiest time. But alas when I was doing the spiders on a Sunday the number was never more than 5 in the whole zone not including the opposite faction.

One thing to keep in mind is not to be over zealous in pulling masses of mobs as either spider and the crocolisks are used for the dailies and are needed by the few players who bother to do them. In short don't be piggish. Doing a /who for the zone would you a idea of how many are in the zone and scope out potential competitors for farming.

Fewer players doing the mob dailies means slower farming and which means you actually having to kill more of the mobs yourself.

Also since this zone is now well known there is more competition for the same mobs so one has to keep in mind alternatives.

Commento di auredria

Ok, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the spiders in the Molten Front. I go there and farm for savage leather, drops 1-4 pieces at a time, i get about 3-4 stacks in about an hour. I know there is competition in this area, but the spiders have a fast spawn rate, so I figured it would be a good spot to farm for it; and they do not drop any savage leather scraps. Just straight up savage leather :D

Have fun!

Commento di Krullin

I didn't notice if anyone had said it or not but i find the elite dragon's in "The Pale Roost" to be the best place to farm up my leather the dragon's drop faster then you can skin them

Commento di rockblink

Stone Drakes in Deepholm! Amazing loot table and yield 1-6 savage or 1-6 Blackened Dragonscale. Very easy to kill and spawn rate is determined on how fast you can kill and skin!

Commento di 942801

The Pale Roost .. Stonedrakes are only around 20k health when they drop .. cant kill n skin quick enough, lol

Commento di 942801

Just farmed pale roost for an hour with Potion of Treasure Finding .. 5 Tiny Treasure Chests dropped containing, 22 gold .. 23 Embersilk .. and 19 different volatiles .. Not brilliant, but maybe 150g .. As well as greens n greys dropped normally .. 78 savage leather and 49 blackened dragonscale .. Can't see me farming anywhere else :)

Commento di 974116

Savage leather farming the easy way.

Complete the Twilight Highlands quests until you get one called .

Once you have the quest, use the Wyrmhunter Hooks exactly as the quest suggests. Ignore the warning to "Move to another drake, quickly." Simply finish killing the , fall to the ground with it, loot and skin.

You can then use the Wyrmhunter Hooks to hook another and repeat the process. You can use Wyrmhunter Hooks from a flying mount, or the ground. You can also link it to an action bar. It continues to work after the required 8 kills for the quest.

I wouldn't recommend turning in the quest if you want to continue to skin drakes that don't fight back.

Using this method, you won't need potions, etc. and you will probably not have to worry about being assaulted by the opposing faction while you farm. The supply seems never ending and getting the next target is quite fast, as the Wyrmhunter Hooks have a huge range and pull you directly to the mob.

Enjoy.

Farming the dragons in the Obsidian forest has other benefits as well, they drop Dragon Flank (Dragon Flank) and after you have a stack or so you can farm the and they will are both skinnable and they drop the Delicate Wing Delicate wing which will let you cook Broiled Dragon Feast Dragon Feast which is handy to bring along while running instances.

Commento di 209542

This is my stats for 1 hour farming of 1 mob in Mount Hyjal. Located at 84.86

This mob is and he have 89k hp, after you killed him, he respawn around 7-9 sec, so it`s just in time to loot and skin it. Do not stand at the place he needs to respawn or else it will take longer time.

What i got from him is this:

Savage leather scraps 413x = 82 savage leather

Savage leather 140x (+82) = 222x

Strange Bloated Stomach 3x
Junk (2greens) vendor = 91 gold

Commento di Hanol

In case someone don't know, Pale Roost mention here is located in Deepholm at 36, 17.

Commento di 300827

A formula that worked for me was:

At Leatherworking 425, I farmed yellow, non-aggro crabs in Vashj'ir. You can find them almost anywhere, but the best place is right near Nespirah where the alliance has clam farmers (lol). Farm these until 450 or so then:

Go to The Pale Roost in Deepholm. I'm a level 82 hunter right now, and killing basilisks and skinning is easy mode.

Commento di 1012780

I don't know if this was stated before or not...

Molten Front. It may not be the best, but due to the skinnable mobs there being quest related (Scorpions for and Cinderweb Spinners for ), there's ALWAYS some up, and always some dead ones lying around for easy leather. Too bad 4.3.4 nerfed the respawn rate :(

I was unsure if skinning was affected by the Potion of Treasure Finding, but they DID also drop plenty of Lava Rubies (5g) and Tiny Treasure Chests (~3g50s).

Commento di 1020971

Have to say, the best place I've found is Tol Barad, Darkwood Lurkers, and Darkwood Broodmothers. As an 85 Feral Druid, I go bear form, and pull a mob of 6-8 of them.

Within half an hour, I can usually get 2-3 stacks. Occasionally, the Lurkers drop 2, which is an added little perk. The lurkers are fairly easy to kill, although three or four of the broodmothers at one time can give me a bit of a problem. But it's definitely worth it for the drop rate.
