Hide of the Wild — pre-raid healer cloak
Hide of the Wild is a leatherworked cloak that grants healing power and mana regen — a rare combo for the back slot. It is pre-raid BiS for healing druids, priests and holy paladins. On WowX5 x5 you can craft it yourself before your first raid.

Cloak stats
Hide of the Wild is a universal healing cloak:
| Stat | Role |
|---|---|
| Healing power | boosts all heals |
| Mana regen (MP5) | stability on long fights |
Healing-power cloaks are scarce pre-raid, so Hide of the Wild often fills the back slot for every healing class at once.
Materials and craft
The cloak needs high leatherworking and quality leather (cured thick/rugged hides, chromatic dust/essences):
- the recipe is learned/obtained by a leatherworker;
- materials come from skinning;
- it is BoE, so you can buy or order it.
◆Who wants Hide of the Wild
- Restoration druid: a great back-slot starter.
- Holy/Discipline priest: healing power + mana.
- Holy paladin and resto shaman: also fit.
How to get it on WowX5 x5
- Level leatherworking or find a guild crafter.
- Gather leather and essences; some can be bought on the AH.
- Craft the cloak — it fits any of your healers (BoE).
One Hide of the Wild can be passed between your healing alts via the guild bank until a raid cloak drops.

History and significance
Hide of the Wild is the 'everyman' healing cloak of Vanilla: accessible, universal and long-lasting for every healer. On x5 it is often the first real upgrade for a druid or priest healer.
