Hide of the Wild — pre-raid healer cloak

Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru

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:

StatRole
Healing powerboosts 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.

Check the BiS guides: druid, priest.

How to get it on WowX5 x5

1. Level leatherworking or find a guild crafter. 2. Gather leather and essences; some can be bought on the AH. 3. Craft the cloak — it fits any of your healers (BoE).

Совет

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.

FAQ

Who needs Hide of the Wild?

All healers: resto druids, holy/disc priests, holy paladins and resto shamans. It grants healing power and mana — a rare back-slot combo before raids.

Is Hide of the Wild BoE or BoP?

It is a crafted BoE cloak: you can sell, buy or order it, and pass it between your own healers.

Is Hide of the Wild worth crafting on x5?

Yes: healing-power cloaks barely exist pre-raid, so it locks the back slot for any healer for a long time.
