Where to Farm Leather in WoW Classic x5: Routes
Leather skins from beasts and feeds leatherworking, armor sets and consumables (like drums). On WoW x5, Skinning is the most convenient gather: it stacks free with combat farming.
Leather by Level
| Leather | Beast level | Best zones |
|---|---|---|
| Thick | 40-50 | Feralas, Hinterlands, Un'Goro |
| Rugged | 50-60 | Winterspring, Plaguelands, Silithus |
| Devilsaur Leather | 55-60 elite | Un'Goro Crater (Devilsaurs) |
| Black Dragonscale | 55-60 | Burning Steppes, Blackrock Mountain |
Best Routes
Winterspring — Rugged Leather. Bears, wolves and wendigos across the zone. Massive rugged leather yield, plus Rich Thorium on the side. The best rugged leather spot in the game.
Feralas — Thick Leather. Yetis, gorillas and lizards give thick leather; herbs and mithril are available too.
Un'Goro Crater — Devilsaur Leather. Elite Devilsaurs drop valuable Devilsaur Leather. Farmed by Hunters or bear Druids. The leather is needed for the Devilsaur set — a strong pre-raid set.
The Tribal Leatherworking specialization lets you craft the Devilsaur set and the best leather sets. Pick a spec for your class: see profession specializations.
◆Dragonscales
Black Dragonscale skins from dragonkin in Burning Steppes and Blackrock Mountain — needed for fire-resistance armor (see resistance gear) before Molten Core. Blue, green and red scales come from the matching dragon lairs.
Class Tips
- Hunter: ideal for solo-farming elite beasts (Devilsaurs) — pet holds aggro.
- Druid: Cat form for speed, Bear form to tank elites.
- Always carry the best skinning knife and keep Skinning at 300.
Leather pairs well with leveling Leatherworking: farm a surplus and raise the profession.
