Commonly skinned by the raptors at Un'Goro crater. Skinned always 1 thick leather off each raptor. So could make a nice grinding if able to 2-shot those beasts.

I can imagine every other beast there has thick leather too when skinned.

The Horde players can buy this next to TB too,in the circus

The Incendosaur cave in Searing Gorge is another great place to obtain these, along with an occasional Thick Hide or Rugged Leather. The Incendosaurs respawn fairly quickly, and unless you are concerned with Thorium Brotherhood reputation, you can auction or vendor off the Incendosaur Scales to make some additional coin.

I've just been farming for thick leather, for about 1,5 hours. I farmed in Tanaris. In the beginning near Gadgetzan, but for a higher dropchance and more xp I decided to go more south (after about 20 minutes).

The result of this 1,75 hour farming is:
Thick Leather x93
Rugged Leather x15
Thick Hide x6

After a while, I found a very, very nice place to farm for thick leather. Near Dunemaul compound, there is a place, with lots of rabid blisterpaws. These mobs don't drop many items, so you don't need to empty your bags as much as with other mobs.

In these 1,5 hours I wasn't in a hurry. It was just taking my time, mostly auto shot only and sometimes an arcane shot. I really recommend this place for farming thick leather, especially when you're around lvl 45-50. These mobs are lvl 47-48 and are quite concentrated, although they're just far away enough from each other, so you don't get two or even more mobs on you at the same time.

As a level 59 rogue I found the Den of Flame to be much more beneficial to farm Thick Leather than than the Rage Scar Yeti found in Feralas.
For one, the dragonkin in Dustwallow are levels 38-41, while the Yeti are around 47 and therefore slower to kill.
Secondly, I found the Dragonkin mostly dropped two Thick Leather at a time, with the occasional Heavy Leather or heavy/thick hide (or worn dragonscale). The Yeti only ever drop 1 Thick Leather for me, or the occasional Rugged Leather.
While Rugged Leather is nice to pick up, it's relatively useless when I can only use Thick Leather to level my leatherworking ;)

EDIT:

duathorthad:
I'd have to say that as a rogue I found the dragonkin far worse than the yeti caves. Their fire shield debuff breaks stealth, and in addition they have a fire based immolate attack which means you cant very quickly stealth/vanish without it breaking. All of this was a slow down really, so yetis were far easier.

I never actually had a problem with fire shield debuffs, or any kind of DoT preventing stealth/vanish.

It might be that you went at a lower level, I do remember when I was in my low to mid 40s the Dragonkin at the Den of Flame were pretty anti-rogue, but at level 59 for me, I feel they're the best option I've found so far.
Fast respawn rate, too.

Kommentar von 205480

i usually farm all my thick and heavy leather from Tanaris, of the hyenas and the basilisks, those usually help out a lot! and while your killing the beasts they sometimes drop some Mageweave you can sell on ah

Kommentar von Warriorrace

Ok I came to the comments on here and honestly tried each one out and they all took a pretty long time to get anywhere with it, and I honestly found the best place ever. Outside Onyxia's lair there's dragonkin and it just so happens there's like a circular path you can take to constantly kill the dragonkin I mean yea you get heavy leather here and there and the occasional dragon scale but the drop rate for the thick leather by far is the best. Start off in fron of onxia's lair mouth entrance til ur all the way behind it and back in front of it agai they will all be respawned and you'll be able to keep farming them constantly. I'm going to try and include a picture showing the route to take and I have easily farmed 100+ thick leather in an hour here, and also heavy leather drops shouldnt really bother any lw's considering you can turn the heavy into thick.
If anyone finds any better than the ones above or mine plz let me know I'm having to start over again on my LW and it;s a pain!

Kommentar von Nephili

As a 67 farming DK alt, Den of Flame was slow in respawning, and provided almost as much heavy as thick leather. For something to do during respawn time, I went and killed some raptors around their cave, but they provided mostly heavy leather too.

Rage scar hold drops less thick leather per yeti, but there are more yetis around and they drop rugged too.

It's hard to tell which nets more or which has more downtime waiting for respawns - I'm thinking the yetis are, as long as you remember to clean out the cave itself, in front of it, and up the trail above it.

(When you run into the yeti cave, clear up the top ledge and then jump down, you can grab the stray ones on the run back out, so it won't feel like so much empty running around <.<)

Kommentar von 268950

Wyrmbog is not good, i dont get much Thick leather mostly heavy leather and the reespawn rate isnt good either, killing them faster then they respawn as a lvl 45 elemental shaman

Kommentar von warhowl

best place i found is sunken temple.
when you enter the instance go to your left and up(or down i don't remember) untill your at the tunnel and see a group for 5-7 dragonkins.
kill them and head for the main big room where every coridor has a group or 3 of dragonkins.
80% of the skining gives 1-2 thick hide
10% gives green/white dragonscales
10% gives rugged leather.
i did this at 71 :) feral dr00d and it went pretty smooth.
as soon as your done go to entrance and reset again and after 2-4 resets you will have like 10 to 14 stack ( i had 14) of thick leather 3 stacks of dragonscales and 5 stacks of rugged leather

and again this is prolly for 65+ players

Kommentar von 344928

the raptors in Un'goro creater are great to grind for thick leather. specially at The Marshlands. the respans are reallly fast and there is alot of them so there will allways be pleanty of them.

Kommentar von undu

My favourite spot is the beach at the south of tanaris. There are plenty of Surf Glider which have a high thick leather drop rate. It's also a really quiet spot, and you get some turtle scales as a bonus. :)

The only downside of this spot is they are really spread, so you'll have to walk a little between each pack (normally I kill 3 or 4 turtles at a time)(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##hatman555##DELIM##

Kommentar von heroic2k8

If you are in Tanaris then drop by near the wolfs Rabid Blisterpaw, they have a nice drop rate of Thick Leather when skinned. Also they drop meat, not sure if thats used for cooking though.

Kommentar von 390403

i got 89 thick leather from the den of flame in an hour.
not a bad spot to farm

Kommentar von doubleored

It's not the most efficient way to get thick leathers, but it's very fun (this is for high levels that can easily solo Sunken Temple.)

Upon entering, stay on the middle level and move around and kill the troll mini-bosses. When the shield on Jammal'an goes down, jump down to where the dragonkin are and make your way to him. Some form of stealth or avoiding the mobs is very useful here.
Kill Jammal'an (be warned, all the trolls in that room will agro when you attack). The Shade of Eranikus will become attackable now. Make your way to him. This next part is way more fun if you can avoid agroing any of the dragonkin, but you might want to kill the two dragon mini-bosses in the room right before him.

Now for the fun part. When you kill Eranikus, all the dragonkin that you didn't kill will agro and move to attack you. All of them. Tear into them and have fun giggling as you destroy all of them.

Afterwords, it takes about 5 to 10 minutes looting and skinning all the corpses, but you'll make out like a bandit and it's a very fun way to farm for Thick Leather.

Kommentar von 511369

if you are high level and need the thick leather for LW then Blasted Lands is a good place, the mobs drop alot of thick leather and some rugged leather, on an hour i got: 150 thick and 110 rugged:)

good luck!

Kommentar von 189268

A good spot for anyone who has a high level would be Sunken Temple. As you enter just head left up to the green dragonkin floor.

I was getting about 60 thick leather, 20 rugged leather and 15 dragon scales per run, at about 10 minutes per run. The only downside is the limit of instances you can enter per hour.

Kommentar von Eliwen

As a level 80 Subtlety Rogue with Shadowstep, Preparation and Glyph of Sprint (Increases run speed by another 30%, making it the same speed as an epic ground mount), I found Un'Goro Crater to be an amazing area for my Thick Leather farming. Roughly ~20 minutes spent running around the same route and never having any problems with mobs not having time to respawn I managed to gather the following;

160 Thick Leather
14 Thick Hide
51 Rugged Leather
1 Devilsaur Leather
5 Greenies, including an Alchemy recipe and Blacksmithing pattern.
Various vendor trash that I sold for approximately 20g!
And last but not least, I gained 41 skills in Skinning (from 300 to 341).

For such a short period of farming, I would say that the outcome was quite alright! The mobs were gathered closely enough that I could easily just jump from mob to mob and never waste downtime running around looking for respawns - I also never had to mount up since if (rare occassions though) the closest mob happened to be out of sight, I would just sprint and/or Shadowstep to it.
I would definately recommend this area to any Skinners in need of Thick Leather!

I'd just like to add a few notes:
-The mobs I was farming were the different types of Ravasaurs found in a rather big area around the entrance to Un'Goro from Tanaris.
-The Ravasaurs themself do not drop any gold whatsoever, but plenty enough vendor trash to cover for that.
-I probably ended up deleting 300+ "A Mangled Journal" (Unique item that starts a quest, will keep dropping unless you've completed it) as I had never quested in Un'Goro, this was simply a slight annoyance since the Journal dropped every 3rd-5th mob but it was no big deal and I don't feel it slowed me down that much.

I hope you found this post at least somewhat helpful and happy hunting! (or skinning?)

Kommentar von Silverado

I can confirm that the Rage Scar Yeti found in Feralas (Coordinates: 50, 32; Map) has a good "drop/skin" rate for around level 35. This way you'll get experience as you farm.

The coordinates lead you to where you first start seeing them but there is a cave that has an abundance of them as well. They sometimes drop Silk Cloth as well as a little bit of currency (~1s on average for each one). However sometimes when you skin them you'll get Heavy Leather and Heavy Hide so don't expect Thick Leather every time.

On a lighter note, they have an insanely fast respawn time, as you kill them; Meaning the more you kill them a Yeti has to take it's place somewhere. All in all it's constant farming with NO down time. Also you can either choose to sell the Heavy Leather you get or use 6 of them to create 1 Thick Leather. Either way you win. :)

If you're around 50 or so, a very good place would be the Un'Goro Gorilla, Un'Goro Stomper and Un'Goro Thunderer found in Un'Goro Crater (Coordinates: 61, 17; Map). Not only do you get experience and Thick Leather but you'll be getting Rugged Leather as well which you'll use to further increase your Leatherworking.

Good luck!

As of the shattering, a great spot for this is badlands, northwest corner behind the horde town. Kill the little dragons

Kommentar von Vixente

Un'goro is the place to go. Lots of dino-type mobs that drop thick and rugged. There are a lot of them and you just don't stop stockpiling skins.

Kommentar von gmagnus

Fuselight in the Badlands. Neutral billy goats all around, drop heavy and thick leather. They respawn fast enough to provide you with unlimited leather. Nothing dangerous around, so you don't even need to pay attention, and can go afk without worrying about something jumping up and biting you.

Kommentar von 711723

Wyrmbog never dropped any thick leather for me while i was farming it, only heavy. I think Blizz might have fixed the skinning drops from the wyrmkin.

Personal favourite for farming has to be Sunken temple. Drops a lot of leather and most mobs are skinnable.

Kommentar von 740135

I wasn't able to find the cave that was described in Searing Gorge, well, more acurately I found the cave but there were no Insindasaurus.
I found Un'Goro Crater to be a great source of Thick and Rugged leather. I've been here about 25 minutes and just killing Diemetradons & Pterrordax I got 65 Thick Leather and 27 Rugged. Also 3 Thick Hides and 4 Rugged. Great, plenty of monsters and with the spawn rate once you finish killing some you can loop around and start again.

Kommentar von 429792

Billy Goats in Badlands are great if you are still using Heavy Leather and are closing in on the use of Thick Leather.
But if you are already using Thick Leather and closing in on Rugged Leather I would recommended Burning Steppes, the western and eastern area is filled with skin-able mobs and works best if you need several other items as well.

Tender Wolf Meat and Red Wolf Meat from the Wolfs helped me with my cooking; or if you're cooking is lower than those, Mystery Meat from the Scorpids. If you don't need any cooking materials, the numerous Dragonkin also drops a fair amount of cloth you can sell on the auction house.
And they're always abundant, and you might come across a free 25 unskinned corpses, since all skinable corpses in the Burning Steppes are also part of quests.

Kommentar von Rooster

As for cataclysm the Billy goats in Fuselight, Badlands got the sickest respawn rate, try farming those

Kommentar von raibina

Everything has been changed around a bit after "The Shattering" / Cataclysm.
I farmed Thick Leather from Diemetradon's and Yound Diemetradon's in Un'Goro Crater just beneath Marshal's Stand, and found this to be an effective way for me. The spawn rate is mediocre but since there's quite a few of them I never needed to wait, ie., have downtime.

Tactic: Kill a lot of them, then skin them - in the meanwhile they'll respawn and you can continue.

Took me 40minutes for 21 stacks = 420 Leathers
Hope it helped! :)

Kommentar von 749210

I didn't see this mentioned, but Hinterlands and Feralas leather drops are only medium and heavy, respectively. I checked this 10 minutes ago and skinned 25 animals and no thicks. Hope this helps anybody else farming.

Kommentar von defear

A very good spot to farm thick leather is in the Badlands just to the east of New Kargath. This link shows the spawns of one of the types of dragonkin that spawn there, and there's boatloads of them.

Droprate is approximately 75% Thick and 25% Rugged.

Kommentar von Dreampuff

I found the best way to get thick leather was to farm "Nyxondra's Broodling"s, Nyxondras Brutling they re-spawn before you get the area cleared, they are only a few feet apart from each other, and if you did the bad dogs quest in the badlands, Die harten Hunde, then you have 3 allies to help you clear them in minutes. They have really good loot sometimes too and its also a good chance to get yourself a Dark whelpling: https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/item=10822.

Kommentar von rslogic

As of "the Shattering" (Patch 4.0.3?) the Den of Flames is all Heavy Leather. Makes me think we need mobs in the 39-45ish range?

Nope, 45 Scorpids in Tanaris are still "heavy". Moving on to Un'Goro to check the Raptors and other Dinos.
46+ Serpents in Tanaris = Heavy, 46+ Hyenas = Heavy, 46+ Scorpids = Heavy.

Seems like 46+ is the key ;) G'luck finding good spots with a lot of skinnable 46+ mobs :)

Edit: Wow...didn't even see there was a page two. I was curious why I didn't see many 4.0+ comments :(

Kommentar von 252015

I went to Un'Goro Crater.

I killed 310 Dinosaurs - Raptors and the ones with the scale on the back.
And I got:
217 Thick Leather
85 Rugged Leather
8 Thick hide

And after selling all the trash, I got 7.78 g.

Easy to group up and farm as a survival hunter + track beast.

Kommentar von 769980

There's a area in Badlands called Lethlor Ravine, the scalding whelps have a high drop rate

Kommentar von Ramanas

Forget any other place, head to Un'goro and grind the raptors.. getting at least 1 per mob and some Rugged Leather.

Kommentar von carlenestover

I would like to disagree with the Wurmbog. I went there was there for an hour and got more heavy leather which I didn't want and don't want to convert. Such a time waste. I haven't tried Un'goro Crater yet. Heading there as soon as I clean out bag, train up and convert all the stupid heavy leather that I have.

Kommentar von 767683

cleared Sunken Temple entirely and got:

13 thick leather
31 rugged leather
3 rugged hide
5 worn dragonscale
13 green dragonscale

they changed it after cata. no longer a great place to farm.

Kommentar von Auilt

Nyxondra's Broodlings in Badlands are by far the best place to farm this. Tightly packed mobs that respawn very quickly. Much, much quicker than raptors in Un'goro.

Kommentar von telebofh

The best spot I have found since cataclysm is in Tanaris around 54,52. The Rabid Blisterpaws and Glasshide Gazers seem to drop thick leather 98% of the time and respawn very fast. Also, the innkeeper at 55,61 can vendor your trash.

Kommentar von 98777

I tried the Yeti in Feralas, today. They were my first attempt for thick leather, since the release of Cataclysm.
With the level scale, I now get mostly heavy leather from these mobs.

I decided to try the raptors in Un'Goro Crater, seeing that they scale levels a little higher.
I was much more successful here. With a little bit of rugged leather (which will be useful later), I got quite a bit of thick leather.

Mobs: Venomhide Ravasaur and Ravasaur Hunter These mobs average level 50.
Location: Un'Goro Crater - Coordinates are around 64, 50. Maps are available on the mob pages above.

Kommentar von vlad3060

Post patch 4.0 I finally found mobs that consistently drop Thick Leather. Darkflight Soldiers and Raging Whelps outside New Kargath in Badlands. Mostly Thick Leather but with a few Rugged Leather in between.

Kommentar von Woebetide

Nyxondra's Broodlings just northwest of New Kargath also in Badlands has a good supply of thick leather and her broodlings keep respawning.

Kommentar von 285678

best spot to farm Thick Leather as of patch 4.0.6... definitely:

Badlands, west of New Kargath
the canyon there is full of dragon whelps, with really fast respawn
they drop nearly 100% Thick Leather, rarely Rugged Hide... and no dragon scales! at least for me when i farmed there none droped...
they drop always just 1 Thick Leather

the only two downsides are...
1. they will 90% of the time attack from a distance as they are ranged casters
2. the terrain there is made for cliffhanger :/

anyway... if you dont like that spot... just hunt the beasts in the badlands... they drop the Thick Leather aswell and can be often killed by 2-4 at once...

for better orientation
link to map location
there is also a lvl 47 elite drake for quest

Kommentar von 799681

Blasted lands, great for farming this and the portal from any major city takes you right there. Once you complete the circle, all the new boars/hyenas/gators have respawned

Kommentar von 803916

If you're Horde (as I am and this is where the comments are coming from) I suggest farming these https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/npc=46916#skinning Just outside of New Kargath. Flight path, Mailbox, Innkeeper, and repair literally 5 mins away. Also, some of the comments for the whelps have said they drop the Whelpling. not for me "yet" lol. Just be wary of quester's as the dragon flying above the whelps is quest related but also skins 2 thick leather.

If you aren't in Eastern Kingdoms but you're in Kalimdor then as some of the others have mentioned, Un'goro for the raptors East of Marshal Stand in The Marshlands.

Enjoy and happy farming =)

Kommentar von 718763

the best place to farm thick leather is probably ungoro crater, lots of raptors each has a 77% chance giving thick leather and sometimes they give rugged too...

Kommentar von 802692

Just as an confirmation for today ... raptors in Un'Goro Crater are the very good spot for Thick Leather.

Kommentar von 812881

also try farming Thick Leather off of the Diemetradon @53, 71 in Un'goro, Dropped Thick Leather or Rugged Leather. its just SW of Marshal's Stand(FYI: it's horde), JUst before the Slithering Scar.

Kommentar von 816962

Farmed Thick Leather in Burning Steepes south of Chiselgrip @ (45,62) there is a constant respawn of Blackrock War Kodo there. These are higher hp that other mobs in the area but worth it for the constant respawn and 6k hp is np for level 80+, they also drop Rugged Leather.

Kommentar von 644686

As of the Shattering I would like to share a great place to farm this (and rugged leather) with you guys.
All along the North-East of Burning Steppes are Giant Ember Worgs and Black Dragonkin which drop good amounts of both and are easy kills. They spawn fast and are pretty dense, so minimal running between mobs. Infact, their spawn rate is so fast, you can go up and down the area infinitely.

Here is the path I drew on a map for you all.
Happy Farming :)

Kommentar von thordog

I have tried a few of these places, and wasn't impressed. I stumbled upon the best place so far. That is Ruins of Kargath, Badlands. There are plenty Nyxondra's Broodling (lvl 46-47) that respawn rapidly. All thick leather with a few rugged leather from time to time. The only downfall to this place is the rugged terrain.

Kommentar von Alpheratz

Go to Un'Goro Crater (south Kalimdor between tanaris and Silithus)

Between the lakkari tar pits and the roiling gardens there are "young diemetradons" this NPC will give you as much thicks leathers as you wants with a fast respawn.(##RESPBREAK##)524##DELIM##MasterOfDisguise##DELIM##

Kommentar von 834682

By far the best place to farm thick leather is the Ruins of Kargath in Badlands. The welps drop anywhere between 1 and 4 Thick leather and are very easy to kill. a lvl 72 disc priest i can dot 9 or 10 at a time, let them die, skin them, move to a different group and repeat, and by the time im done skinning the second group, the first has respawned.

Kommentar von Grizela

Just outside New Kargath in Badlands, my 58 Rogue killed the Raging Whelps and Darkflight Soldiers, and netted the following statistics, based on 210 leathers total:

76% Heavy Leather (159)
21% Rugged Leather (44)
3% Heavy Hide (7)

Additionally, I looted 71 Mageweave Cloths, got one green drop and grey items sold to a vendor netted about 6 gold.

As noted previously, these guys respawn quite quickly. It took me about an hour, but I do tend to stop and smell the roses.

Kommentar von 836001

Nyxondra's Broodling are a good source of thick leather since there are so many of them. badlands

Nyxondras Brutling

Kommentar von IMissThottbot

I strongly suggest (as some have mentioned) the Raging Whelps *east* of Kargath. These are mixed in with Darkflight Soldiers, which also drop Thick Leather when skinned.

Pros:
* Large area with high mob density
* Chance for Dark Whelpling minipet drop (still worth a good chunk of gold)
* Mobs are just far apart enough to not interrupt your skinning with aggro
* Easy to get to: short flight from SW for Alliance, or from the Org -> Blasted Lands portal for Horde.
* When the mobs DON'T drop Thick leather, they drop Rugged instead of Heavy, which is useful after you're done using Thick for your Leatherworking.
* They don't respawn too quickly (unlike Nyxondra's broodlings) for lowbies.

Cons:
* If you're a lowbie, avoid the elite drake who patrols the area--he has a bit over 9k hp.
* They aren't as closely clustered for level 85s (for AoE purposes) as the Nyxondra's broodlings.

Kommentar von Traynwreck

Best Place as of Cataclysm to Farm Thick Leather - patch 4.2

Ok i found an insanely easy spot to farm this stuff uber quick, even more so for druids. In the badlands, just west of New Kargath, you find a really hilly area covered in Nyxondra's Broodlings.

Pros: These things are pretty well grouped, and respawn insanely fast. I was pulling literally 20-30 mobs at a time and I never got close to running out of mobs slaughter. They dropped Thick Leather about 80% with some rugged. Bonus: They have a chance of dropping Dark Whelpling (mine dropped on 570th-ish kill ^_^).

Cons: They all mostly spam fireball and if you are a melee class this can make it hard to pull large amounts into tight groups. Also, even though many of the pits and hills in the area seem to take you out of their LoS, they can shoot straight through mountainside (you can too though...). Also the terrain can make it hard to get to kills and skin them in a couple spots, flying eases this burden a little.

What Worked For Me: Using a lvl 64 resto druid, I would cycle targets as I spammed moonfire till i had a big circle of whelps dying from the DoT. Switched into flight form (so hills and pits weren't such a problem) and then went in a circle looting/skinning ..

What I Got:

End of First Hour: 241 Thick Leathers, 37 Rugged Leathers, 7 Thick Hides

End of Second Hour: 543 Thick Leathers, 58 Rugged Leathers, 17 Thick Hides and a Dark Whelpling

Kommentar von bbbrasil

Yet another comment on New Kargath in Badlands and Nyxondra's Broodlings.

In 1 Hour:
10 stacks of Thick Leater
47 Rugged Leather
4 Thick Hide
Same total amount of greys
1 green
1 blue

Comments:

Didn't use aoe
Casters / ranged attacks, make sure you 2-shot kill them, so they come to you.
Greys don't worth the trip to vendor, throw them away.
Interestingly, Auctionator warned me that Thick Leather Tunic was worth 10G in auction! Other than look hawt on a female blood elf (check it out), I don't see why this price for a 30s worth grey.

Kommentar von Awoke

I tried the Dragonkin in Dustwallow Marsh at 38,65 and got mostly Heavy Leather there with some random Thick Leather. Went over to Un'goro to try my luck there. Been farming the Gorillas at 60,16 and having much better luck. Getting 1 Thick Leather almost every time but you do get some Rugged in between.

My advice for anyone trying to farm Thick Leather: Go to Un'goro and kill the Gorillas. 60,16

Kommentar von 610364

Time for an up to date comment. since cataclysm and the world be reorganized feralas is no longer a good place to farm this. you'll only get heavy leather. instead go to un'goro crater and ravasaur dinos about (64,69) near the entrance to this zone.

msot of the time you should get thick leather. the adds are about level 50 and im tanking 4 or 5 adds on a druid. in about an hour i got 6 thick hides, 32 thick leather, 16 rugged leather. the odds are not bad considering ill need just as much rugged leather as i do thick leather. according to $%^&*!@#$%^&*!@#$%^. usually an accurate guide.

Kommentar von tadelle

Ruins of Kargath is an awesome point to farm. Too many low level mobs , very fast spawn timers. And if you are an elemental shaman just use unleash lightning glyph and start casting/looting/skinning/running at the same time.

Kommentar von 137568

Recently I've been levelling Leatherworking, and I found that a nice place to farm Thick Leather was the silithid hive (The Gaping Chasm) in Tanaris, there's a circular room underground in the hive that has a lot of mobs very close together, and the spawn rate is quite nice too.

In about 30 minutes I managed to get:

153 Thick Leather
36 Rugged Leather
11 Thick Hide

This was as an 85 hunter, with the Bountiful Bags guild perk, and I only ran through the hive once, by the time I got back to the circular room all of them had respawned :)

Happy hunting! <3

Kommentar von TarrynItUp

Hands down without a single doubt in Tenaris - at The Gaping Chasm, you will find lvl 45 bugs that drop Thick Leather almost 100% of the time, with the exception of a few Rugged Leather here and there. I have tried Ungoro, I got heaps of Rugged little bit of Thick, tried the Unearthed Fossil skeleton things in Tenaris as suggested by Wowhead itself, but they are very scarce and limited in numbers and re spawns. The Gaping Chasm is by far the best drop and re spawn rate around. On my lvl 69 druid, its almost a one shot for the bugs and easy leather collection! Try it out guys you wont be disappointed! (unless of course Blizzard nerfs it -.- )

Good Luck Farming :)

edit: Just so you can see the drop rate, I did a screen shot :) http://a.imageshack.us/img593/1082/thegapingchasm.jpg

Kommentar von 961658

The Gaping Chasm in Tanaris is amazing! Has to be one of the best places to farm Thick Leather. After reading this I tried all of Dustwallow Marsh first and had mixed results (I received a ton of Heavy Leather, but Thick Leather was only maybe 1 in 5 mobs), but then I tried Gaping Chasm and had racked up 300 in no time. The bugs drop 1-4 nearly every single time and they are everywhere, if you go inside the largest cavern in the middle there is even a room with over 25 mobs squeezed together, as 85 you can round them all up and take em out with one shot, makes farming easy.

The Gaping Chasm in Tanaris allows for very efficient farming. You can farm up to 180 skins per hour, and half of the time you can go AFK and do RL stuff. There are about 25 bugs in one room (54.5 by 72.5) that you can easily kill and loot/skin in 4 minutes and who will be back 6 minutes later. No running around (unless you want to kill the bugs in the adjacent rooms).

The best place to farm this is off The broodlings in the Badlands, plus there is a chance for a Dark Whelpling drop!

Nyxondras Brutling

Happy farming!

Kommentar von 998592

Badlands just outside of New Kargath/Dragon's Mouth is a pretty decent spot. These mobs dropped a little too much rugged leather for my liking, but still, they are on a fast respawn timer, so that helped. If you are at level, there is an elite dragon flying near this area, so keep your eyes peeled.

Also discovered that the mobs just outside the Emerald Sanctuary in Felwood are pretty good for farming thick leather. They're fairly well-grouped, and spawn reasonably fast.

Anyone know good places?

Add them please!

Kommentar von Thottbot

get them from longtooth runners in feralas good drop rate level 40-41 been farming off these with my 35 hunter really easy and a good money source
sell for 1.4g a stack earn around 15g a day

Kommentar von Thottbot

The wolves just outside of Aerie Peak skin thick and heavy about equally. Lvl 41-42

The snapjaw turtles on the east coast skin only thick and almost always turtle scale too. Lvl 49-50. Plus an occasional pearl.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The dragonkin in Swamp of Sorrows on the east side of the lake have a decent drop rate, sometimes two at a time. The lower dragonkin may drop heavy leather instead.

Kommentar von Thottbot

In felwood there is a drop of thick leather and rugged nice there r mobs 49-51 nice to girnd/farm

Kommentar von Thottbot

the yeti caves in ferlas drop thick leather at a ok rate if u skin them. also the saltwater turtles on the beach in hinterlands. if u want money from grinding skins goto yeti caves. if u want pearls and green turtle shells goto hinterlands. btw. on my server turtle scales or shells were 3 for 6 gold.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Go to Southbreak Shore on the southeast of Tanaris ... the "Surf Glider" turtles drop scales which are grey but they sell for 50s for 10 to the vendors. you also get clams which drop anything from a Lustrous Pearl to a Golden Pearl, at a fairly high clip.

Skinning results in about 75% thick, 22% rugged and occassionally a thick hide. Also a ton of Green Scales, which you will want also.

Best place I found to farm Thick Leather.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I followed Bannn`s advise and went to Swamp of Sorrows to farm some thick leather, and it was like a mekka;) circle around the temple of hakkar or something, and kill all the dragonkinds you see. It dropped 2xthick leather around 30% of the time too;) ANd not to talk about all the green items i got, around 15G there;) Good luck!

Kommentar von Thottbot

Great drops in Hinterlands at (50,47) when killing Silvermane Howlers...every drop I had was either thick or rugged leather...mobs were around lvl 44-46. Tried the others mentioned in previous post, but this was by far the best for me.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If ur about lvl 48-51 there is a good place in Tanaris, a bit to run but, with mount there is no probs, anyways, go to Ends land beach, the half island south of Tanaris, the lower part there, kill the turtles and skinn, it is 100% drop rate on thick leather tjere.

Kommentar von Thottbot

An excellent place for Thick Leather is northwest of Mudsprocket, in Dustwallow Marsh, the Firemane dragons. I got several stacks of this stuff while doing dragon-related quests in Dustwallow Marsh. They have a large clump around 44,67, and they often drop 2 at a time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

for those of us who aren't quite high enough level for the creatures mentioned above, a decent place for thick leather is just outside the entrance to Booty Bay in Stranglethorn. the Elder Mistvale Gorillas drop thick leather consistently at about 33%. for me (lvl 41 warrior) it's easy farming. and if you get lucky, other players come to help -- the quest "Mok'thardin's Enchantment" requires farming of these gorillas to get the 'aged gorilla sinew'. quite often players whack their way thru this area & leave the corpses behind. you know how it is -- when you're a leatherworker, all beasts give treasure.

a little farther north you run into elder shadowmaw panthers, which are the same level as the gorillas but the drop rate on thick leather falls to about 15%... but they also drop shadowcat hide, at about 10%.

Kommentar von Thottbot

As has been mentioned, the best creatures for thick leather appear to be dragonkin. In Dustwallow Marsh, around the Den of Flame, I was getting drops of 1-2 thick leather from most kills. I've never seen a beast that gave more than one. Previous to that, I tried farming the feral yeti, but again they give at most 1.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The hippogryphs in Feralas aren't a bad place to farm thick leather, although they do drop a lot of vendor junk that clog up your inventory.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Surf Gliders in sough of tanaris have about 98% drop chance and they even drop turtle scales. :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

For those of you who were higher levelled like me when grinding for thick leather, ignore the previous posts suggesting swamp of sorrows. It was a complete waste of time for efficiency, and a lot of the drops were heavy leather and involved a lot of running about.

For effective grinding, try Feralas. The rage scar hold has lots of mobs, and they're assured thick leather drops, with a few ruggeds thrown in. Failing that, the coast in Taranis isn't bad. But all the swimming and chasing of the turtles bored me to death.

Kommentar von Thottbot

My favorite place is the beach in Hinterlands. Horde can go there fairly fast, alliance takes slightly more time.
Lots of turtles which gives 80% Thick and 10% Rugged Leather.
They spawn fairly fast and is found abundant in numbers.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ok, so you need thick leather to level up your LW, and LOTS of it - grab yourself a prot paladin by any means (beg/borrow/steal/sexual favour... etc), and head for Sunken Temple.

Enter the temple, the pally will turn left and run up the spiral staircase and run around aggroing as many mobs as he feels capable of holding, run back to the skinner who - if he is a lowbie - should come to the top of the stairs and wait for the paladin.
The pally then backs his arse into the corner, turns on ret aura, blessing of sanc, and dumps down consecration.
Figurine of the Colossus seen here: https://www.cuckhead.com/cata/item=27529/figur-des-kolosses is also mandatory for any self-respecting prot paladin who farms instances.
If not, I hope your skinner has some heal capability.

Personally I clear the instance in 3 pulls, not because I couldn't clear the thing in one - I have before, but because my skinner simply can't loot and skin them all before the corpses start to disappear if I do so.

In one pull I got:
Thick Leather x55
Rugged Leather x10
Green Dragonscale x9
Worn Dragonscale x8

...plus a small number of greys and various crap, good thing about the dragons in here is they don't drop much besides coin - which saves you from cluttering up your inventory.

Happy farming!

Kommentar von Thottbot

if u want to get some thick leather quick then try sunken temple. the centre of the circle has loads of dragonkin which drop mostly thick. they also can drop 2 at a time and also drop dragonscales and sometimes rugged....

Kommentar von Thottbot

I agree with the Den of Flame being the best location. I farmed the area for roughly 1 hour and got 100+ Thick Leather. And with my servers economy i could sell this for a fortune

Kommentar von Thottbot

Ruins of Ravenwind is a good place to get thick leather, every thing skinnable drops a thick , once in a while will a rugged drop. I was doing it as I am writing this, farming thick leather.

My next farming mission is to gather turtle scales , so thanks for the tip about that.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The best place I've found is East to South-East of Un'Goro Crater. The Raptors have dropped them 100% of the time in the last hour or so i've been killing them.

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found that the scalding welps in the badlands drop alot of thick and heavy leather. they are in the canyon in between 74.34 and 74.60, they regenerat fast also

Kommentar von Thottbot

the turtles in the hinterlands are great, especially since the trainer is giving out turtlescale armor at the same time thick leather is needed. using an 80 hunter (overkill), it only takes 10 min to kill every turtle on land on the southern strip, working from the river to the horde town. run all the way back up the the river and kill southward again.... in 3 runs (30 min) I got the following:

thick leather: 67
rugged leather: 32
turtlescales: 75
thick hide: 6
rugged hide: 4

since rugged is the next up in LW, it is smarter to grind stuff that has it's off percentage to drop rugged rather than heavy leather. turtles often drop 2 scales and one leather per skinning, and sometimes drop 2 leathers.
Be warned that they drop quite a bit of grey body parts, meat, and clams(27 clams only yielded one black pearl ). so make sure your bags are empty before going out. vendor trash sells for between 5-45s per stack.

I also did a spin around the temple in swamp of sorrows, wiping out all the dragonkin.

thick leather: 42
heavy leather: 17
thick hide:5
dragonscales: 19

They drop more silver than the turtles, and way less vendor crap... much more running around.. got some blacking plans for a mithril helm of some sort too, killing the elite dragon that was floating around there

Kommentar von Thottbot

Tried the Den of Flames but I ended up with a lot of heavy leather. Today at the Yeti Cave in Feralas I ended up with this in about 45 minutes:

100 Thick Leather (77%)
26 Rugged Leather
4 Thick Hides
3.5 gold in loot
2 green items
1 purple item (Kang the Decapitator)
3 gold in grey items
6 healing potions
6 Moonberry Juice

Kommentar von Thottbot

I went to the sunken temple today and got about 120 thick leather in the space of 35 min, went in took a left(prot warrior lvl80) with my skinning/lw alt on follow. took the place 2 pulls at a time. Happy to hearth out with all i needed to get onto rugged

Kommentar von Thottbot

I went into sunken temple and just kept killin all the dragonkin... got a&*!@tion easy

Kommentar von Thottbot

I agree with the posts above. The turtles in the Hinterlands are great for THick Leather and the Turtle scales. I just did the Temple today. I had a level 80 warlock escort. So we finished the whole thing in under a hour. I got tons of thick and rugged, plus the worn dragon scale that I need for my dragonscale armor. I am at 270 LW and am a 52 Hunter.. Defi can only skin for these items I havent noticed them drop from just looting.

Kommentar von Thottbot

By Far, my most favorite and profitable spot to farm thick leather are the clusters of Raptors in Un'Goro Crater. Cannot be beat for Thick Leather drops.. lvl 47-49 Raptors.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Yet another option, at least for Horde: I was in Org when I decided to make some nightscape headbands for my enchanter, and wanted to get some leather quickly. Azshara was close, so I flew up there and rode east -- past the spiders and naga were some hippogryphs, then past the Timbermaw and around the Legash Encampment (with all the demons), I found LOTS of hippogryphs and coursers. Within an hour I had 5 stacks easily, along with some rugged leather and a few rugged hides.

Also picked up a few nice greens and a few gold from quite a lot of vendor trash, and some stag meat I would've cooked for more gold if I'd picked up the recipe in Desolace.

Kommentar von Thottbot

As previously stated, I highly recommend not going anywhere else other than The Hinterlands (If you're Horde, at least.) The Snapjaw turtles are in a great area and don't aggro. They drop raw spotted yellowtail, zesty clam meat, and turtle scales. Great profit. The fish and clam meat are great if you're leveling cooking, too. If not, the clam meat usually sells for a good price in the AH on a lot servers. You can also use the turtle scales for LW. Nothing beats this spot, imo.

Kommentar von Thottbot

sunken temple by far my fav. avg. 60 think 15 rugged and all i clear is the room up the stairs to the left when you enter. as 68 sham goes a lil slower, have to do smaller pulls but still by far the easiest. ive tried the other spots and they were good but this is so much easier. and many drop x2 leather. and not much trash drop. i cleared the room 4 times now started with 40 open bag spots still have plenty, also a nice blue mace dropped easy 100g+

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Deffo the incendosaurs are best for this.. i got almost 10 to 1 ratio for thick to heavy... but bring empty bags cause you get 2-4 scales from each one almost

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Hyenas in Blasted Lands all skin it.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

i dont know about everyone else, but all these sources in the comments here were giving me heavy or rugged leather w/ an occasional thick. Then i went ahead and tried the Incendasaurs in Searing Gorge....they have given me about 90% thick leather, w/ some thick hides and rugged leather making up the other 10%. Hooray! Seems like 40-44 creatures give you heavy leather still, and 50-55 give you mostly rugged. The Incendasaurs are level 47-49, mostly 48 and 49. Hope this helps ppl :)

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Someone sold it to themself for 17,000+ Gold and it messes up the price, can someone delete this instance?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The snapjaws in the hinterlands by the horde village, always people questing there leaving them unskinned, and they dont attack you you have to attack them. Farmed 100 thick and only got 20 rugged which doesnt matter anyway. Level 49 and 50 mobs. Good drops

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Anyone know a good place to farm these and what skill you need in skinning?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

The Raptors nesting in the Marshlands of Southeast Un'Goro are a pretty good source for Thick Leather. Un'Goro is good for leather in general: go South for Thick Leather and North for Rugged.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Jaguero Isle off the Southern east coast of Stanglethorn Vale.
The Jaguero Stalkers and Skymane Gorillas have a great drop rate.
All about lvl 50, Respawn rate really nice, never have to wait.

He was right Un'goro crater area {62,76} the 48 lvl raptors skin down to thick leather. Out of 72 kills got 60 thick and 12 Rugged leather.

Kommentar von jfoobar

Were it not for the long-ish ride to the nearest flight point or vendor dump (and even longer ride to nearest mailbox), I am strongly of the opinion that the Ravasaurs in Un'Goro are the best place to farm thick leather. Just filled my bags from almost empty on the southern-most Ravasaurs (Ravasaurs, Ravasaur Runners, Ravasaur Hunters) with the following results:

-259 thick leather
-70 rugged leather
-11 thick hides
-30 elder raptor feathers (vendor @16s58c each)
-170 tribal raptor feathers (vendor @8s07c each)
-38 pristine raptor skulls (vendor @9s each)
-59 Un'Goro soil
-16 wicked claws
-5 greens and a blue worth about 20g (Blade of the Titans)

There are ridiculous numbers of these mobs, they are fairly easy to kill and there are more than enough for several people to farm at once. Plus, the only kill quest for these doesn't require very many kills (for Horde anyway) so you won't be pissing other players off too much for farming on them unlike some spots (e.g. the northern yeti cave in Feralas).

Kommentar von SirGrahame

I haven't seen it mentioned here but the above map co-ordinates (41.2 69.8) lead you to an empty field with no vendor. I suspect the vendor shows up as part of the Carnival(?) which appears periodically in this area.

Kommentar von Zodia

I haven't seen anybody mention this place, but best place to farm Thick Leather as in:
-High respawn rate and amount of mobs.
-High drop compared to rugged leather.
-Safe because the place is deserted, there aren't many quests in the area.

Is the Feralas NORTHERN Yeti Cave, SE of the Twin Colossals and north of the Dire Maul (not the Southern Yeti Cave, the one with the mechanical chicken quest)

Kommentar von woxenrud

I spent a couple of days evaluating all the farming methods mentioned here on wowhead for all eight leather types in cataclysm. The methods I had the most success with, skins per hour wise, were the following:

Light leather
Marsh Crocolisks (southern Silverpine Forest)
660 light leathers per hour
Also drops: medium leather, light hide, medium hide

Medium leather
Black Dragon Whelps (southwest Stonetalon Mountains)
624 medium leathers per hour
Also drops: heavy leather, medium hide, heavy hide

Heavy leather
Uldaman backdoor. Pull the three packs of scorpids and the various beasts in between
474 heavy leathers per hour
Also drops: plenty of medium and thick leather, heavy medium and thick hide

Thick leather
Nyxondra's broodlings (northwest Badlands)
537 thick leathers per hour
Also drops: rugged leather, thick hide

Rugged leather
Gordok Mastiffs (Dire Maul N). Pull the hounds in the pit and the ones just at the start of the second room
894 rugged leathers per hour
Also drops: thick leather, rugged hide

Knothide leather
Razorthorn Ravagers (mountains on the border between Terokkar and Hellfire Peninsula)
738 knothide leathers per hour

Borean leather
Stoic Mammoths, Jormungars (southeast Storm Peaks). Kill the two packs of mammoths, clear the outside and inside of the cave, repeat
513 borean leathers per hour
Also drops: jormungar scale, arctic fur

Savage leather
Baradin Crocolisks (west Tol Barad) Best to do on times when other players are around for extra free skins
567 savage leather per hour

The exact results and methods I used can be seen here:
