== Essences and Reagents ==
 
−
Farming for reagents can be a time consuming affair, and many find it more cost efficient to just buy them off the [[Auction House]]. But as profit margins for blacksmiths are already meager at best, some still like to farm for these hard-to-get components. Be aware that many of the mobs suggested are also quest objectives, and are at peak hours hard to get at. All of these are also in contested zones, so keep an eye out for gankers if you are on a PvP server. Remember that an alchemist buddy with transmuting skills can be of great aid when you are looking for essences of different kinds.

===Fire Reagents===
+
==Related Sources==
  +
The [[Shattered Sun Offensive]] also sell a version of this design. See [[Design: Delicate Crimson Spinel (Shattered Sun Offensive)]].
−
*'''Elemental Fire'''. Needed for [[Greater Fire Protection Potion]] and [[Robe of Power]] as well as several other recipes in many professions. Drops off almost any fire elemental in the game. A good place to get them with minimal effort would be the Burning Exiles in [[Arathi Highlands]]. Can also be transmuted by alchemists from [[Heart of Fire]].
 
−
*'''Heart of Fire'''. Needed for several [[Blacksmith]] plans. Drops off Inferno Elemental, Blazing Elemental and Magma Elemental in the [[Searing Gorge]], but not abundantly. Also drops off Living Blaze, [[Blazing Invader]] and Scorching Elemental at [[Fire Plume Ridge]] in [[Un'Goro Crater]], probably at a higher rate than in the [[Searing Gorge]].
 
−
*'''Essence of Fire'''. Needed for [[Blazing Rapier]], [[Fiery Plate Gauntlets]], [[Sulfuron Hammer]] and the popular [[Enchant Weapon - Fiery Weapon|Fiery Weapon]] enchant. Drops off mobs in [[Blackrock Spire]], [[Blackrock Depths]] and [[Molten Core]]. Also drops off Living Blaze and Scorching Elemental at [[Fire Plume Ridge]] in [[Un'Goro Crater]].

===Earth Reagents===
+
==Patch changes==
  +
*{{Patch 2.1.0|note=Added.}}
−
*'''Elemental Earth'''. Needed for [[Glinting Steel Dagger]], [[Elemental Sharpening Stone]], [[Greater Nature Protection Potion]], [[Earthen Leather Shoulders]], [[Frost Leather Cloak]], [[Robe of Power]] and [[Heavy Earthen Gloves]] to only name a few. A good place to farm would be the [[Desert Rumbler]] at [[Crystal Vale]] in [[Silithus]]. You may also find these in [[Arathi Highlands]] (very low, less than 3%, drop rate after [[Patch 4.0.1]]) and [[Badlands]] (also very low at less than 3% drop rate).
 
−
*'''Core of Earth'''. Needed for [[The Shatterer]] and [[Runed Mithril Hammer]]. Drops off [[Land Rager]] in [[Tanaris]], [[Greater Obsidian Elemental]] and [[Obsidian Elemental]] in the [[Burning Steppes]], as well as [[Desert Rumbler]] in [[Silithus]]. Some drops from Rock Elementals and Greater Rock Elementals in the [[Badlands]], but drops are poor and farming there not very efficient.
 
−
*'''Essence of Earth'''. Used in several plans. Drops from [[Greater Obsidian Elemental]] and [[Obsidian Elemental]] in the [[Burning Steppes]], [[Desert Rumbler]] in [[Silithus]], [[Stone Guardians]] in [[Un'Goro Crater]], Thundering Invader in [[Azshara]], Infernal Sentry and Infernal Bodyguard in [[Felwood]] and elemental mobs in [[Molten Core]].

===Air Reagents===
+
==External links==
  +
<!-- Read http://www.wowpedia.org/Wowpedia:External_links before posting your links here.
−
*'''Elemental Air'''. Used in [[Edge of Winter]] and [[Robe of Power]]. Drops off almost any air elemental. Good drop rates from Thundering Exiles in [[Arathi Highlands]], and Whirlwind Ripper and Whirlwind Stormwalker in [[Desolace]].
 
  +
Links that do not conform to the rules will be DELETED.
−
*'''Breath of Wind'''. Needed for [[Truesilver Champion]] and [[Phantom Blade]]. Drops off Gusting Vortex in [[Tanaris]] and Dust Stormer and Whirling Invader in [[Silithus]].
 
  +
Repeat violations may result in a BAN.
−
*'''Essence of Air'''. Used in many different plans. Slightly uncommon (drop rate was increased in 1.10). Normally drops from Air Elementals in [[Silithus]].
 
  +
Have a nice day. :) -->
−
*[[Mote of Air]]. Cyclone elementals in Outland. ([[Nagrand]]/[[Shadowmoon Valley]])

===Water Reagents===
 
  +
[[Category:World of Warcraft jewelcrafting design items|Delicate Crimson Spinel]]
−
*'''[[Elemental Water]]'''. Used in [[Edge of Winter]], [[Robe of Power]], [[Greater Frost Protection Potion]], [[Frost Leather Cloak]] as well as [[Azure Silk Belt]]. Drops from almost any [[Water Elemental]]. Good farming to be had with the [[Cresting Exile]] in [[Arathi Highlands]], the [[Lesser Water Elemental]] on the northern islands of [[Stranglethorn Vale]] and the [[Sea Spray]] and [[Sea Elemental]] along the coast of [[Feralas]].
 
  +
[[Category:World of Warcraft epic items]]
−
*'''[[Globe of Water]]'''. Needed for several plans and quests. Can be fished from floating debris in [[Azshara]], and drops from many water elementals from level 45+. Toxic horrors have them often.
 
  +
{{DEFAULTSORT:Design: Delicate Crimson Spinel (The Scale Of The Sands)}}
−
*'''[[Essence of Water]]'''. Needed for several plans. Drops from Toxic Horror in [[Felwood]], Watery Invader in [[Winterspring]], and Blighted and Plague elementals in [[Eastern Plaguelands]]. Moving between the Toxic Horrors and Watery Invaders seems like a fairly effective way to farm these.
 
−
*''Note: All of the above Water reagents may be fished, with high [[Fishing]] level, from the 'Patch of Elemental Water' nodes in [[Azshara]]. See [[Essence_of_Water#Notes|this guide]] for more information.''
 
−
*'''[[Mote of Water]]'''. 10 of these will create you a Primal Water, needed for various healing enchants and other goods. These will drop off of Water Elementals in Outland ([[Nagrand]]/[[Shadowmoon Valley]]). Also can be fished from [[Pure Water]] nodes in [[Nagrand]], which occur mostly in the [[Elemental Plateau]].
 
−  
−
===Nature Reagents===
 
−
* '''Living Essence'''. Needed for several plans and enchants, such as those with +healing and Nature Resist attributes. [[Un'Goro Crater]] Tar pits, or [[Dire Maul]] East / West. Also off Warpwood and Irontree mobs in northern [[Felwood]], or less reliably off the Decaying Horrors and Rotting Behemoths in the Weeping Cave in northeastern [[Western Plaguelands]].
 
−
* [[Mote of Life]]. Drops from Bog Lords and Fungal Giants in [[Zangarmarsh]]. They drop more commonly in the [[Deadmire]] but also reasonably well just to the east of [[Spawning Glen]]
 
−  
−
===Other Reagents===
 
−
*'''Lava Core and Fiery Core'''. Needed for several high-level plans. Only drops off elementals inside [[Molten Core]]. This has led the AH prices on some servers to be extremely high (up towards 300 Gold). Best bet to get these is to join a guild that raids [[Molten Core]] regularly.
 
−
*'''Blood of the Mountain'''. Needed for several high-level plans. These can be mined from Dark Iron Deposits in the [[Searing Gorge]] and [[Burning Steppes]], and inside [[Molten Core]] and [[Blackrock Depths]]. Also drops off Molten Destroyer inside [[Molten Core]].
 
−
*'''Ichor of Undeath'''. Needed for [[Blight (Polearm)]], and for water breathing potions. Drops off undead in [[Western Plaguelands]] and [[Eastern Plaguelands]], Highborne in [[Azshara]] and [[Winterspring]], Zanzil undead in [[Stranglethorn Vale]], and most undead mobs in [[Stratholme]] and [[Scholomance]]. [[Sorrow Hill]] and [[Andorhal]] in [[Western Plaguelands]] are decent places to farm for Ichor of Undeath.
 
−
*'''[[Essence of Undeath]]'''. Needed for [[Annihilator]] and [[Corruption (Sword)|Corruption]]. Drops from undead mobs inside [[Dire Maul]], [[Scholomance]] and [[Stratholme]]. Some drops from mobs in [[Western Plaguelands]], but probably not enough to be effective farming compared to a run or two to the instances.
 
−  
−
A good place to get Core of Earth and Breath of Wind is across the southern [[Abyssal Sands]] in [[Tanaris]]. From [[The Noxious Lair]] in the west, head east staying north of the [[Dunemaul Compound]] until you are south of [[Broken Pillar]]. Then head southeast to the area immediately north of [[The Gaping Chasm]]. If you criss-cross a bit in said areas you should run into several Land Ragers and Gusting Vortexes on each round.
 
−  
−
[[Fire Plume Ridge]] in [[Un'Goro Crater]] is a good spot to farm for [[Heart of Fire]] and [[Essence of Fire]], as the elementals there drop both kinds. It's about the only place to get [[Essence of Fire]] outside of [[Blackrock Mountain]], so you should be prepared for some competition.
 
−  
−
== Professions ==
 
−
=== Alchemy ===
 
−
Almost everything used here comes from [[Herbalism]]. [[Places to Farm#Herbalism|See]] down this page for things that can be farmed.
 
−  
−
Vials of the various kinds are purchased at Alchemy vendors and Trade vendors. There is a vendor for the basic vials in almost every civilized area.
 
−  
−  
−
=== Mining ===
 
−
'''Copper and Tin:''' [[Loch Modan]] is a zone abundantly filled with both metals; tin is mainly found in the east half of the zone, with some concentrations to the northeast by the elite Ogre camp. The rather low number of mobs and their predictable behaviour makes this an excellent zone to farm Copper and Tin or level up your mining skill. This is an Alliance zone, but higher level Horde players can conveniently access it via the [[Badlands]].
 
−  
−
Gold Coast Quarry in [[Westfall]].
 
−  
−
Hilly terrain in [[Silverpine Forest]] is a good place to mine copper and tin for Horde characters.
 
−  
−
'''Iron and Mithril:''' Yeti Cave in [[Hillsbrad Foothills]] (be careful not to get ganked while in the Yeti Cave on PvP servers).
 
−  
−
[[The Charred Vale]] in the [[Stonetalon Mountains]] has many [[Mithril]] (and other ore) nodes, and is close to the [[Sun Rock Retreat]] [[Flight Path]] (for Horde) or [[Stonetalon Peak]]/[[Nijel's Point]] (for Alliance). This zone is small however, and has a wide mix of nodes, including iron, copper and tin, so it's best for 30-50 level characters, or characters who need a mix of ores.
 
−  
−
'''Mithril:''' Running a loop around the edge of the [[Hinterlands]] is one of the best ways to farm Mithril Ore, as the zone is rarely visited. [[Lethlor Ravine]] in the [[Badlands]] (a valley in the east of the zone with two entrances north and south) has been mentioned as a good place to farm Mithril, however, for 80s, the area is so small that the four or five nodes you will find will not have respawned until long after you found the fith
 
−  
−
Gems are also found from [[Mining]].
 
−  
−
==== Mining ====
 
−
* [[Incendicite Ore]] is used in the quest {{quest|Search for Incendicite|Search for Incendicite}}, starting with [[Pilot Stonegear]] in [[Dun Morogh]]. The ore is found in caves in the south central part of [[Wetlands]].
 
−  
−  
−
See the [[Mining proficiencies]] page for a list by skill level of what to get and where the popular gathering areas are.
 
−  
−
=== Cooking ===
 
−
==== Small Flame Sacs ====
 
−
* '''Lvl. 42-43:''' [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=8377 Sprite Darters] in [[Feralas]] drop these about 1 in 5. The 44th level ones have a much lower drop rate.
 
−
* '''Lvl. 40+:''' The [[dragon]] whelps in [[Lethlor Ravine]] in the eastern [[Badlands]]. They range from Lvl. 41-43. Drops about 1 in 7 kills.
 
−
* '''Lvl. 33-34:''' The [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=149506 Adolescent Whelps] and [http://www.thottbot.com/?n=62333 Dreaming Whelps] in the [[Swamp of Sorrows]] drop these also at about 1 per 10 whelps killed.
 
−
* '''Lvl. 24-27:''' The various whelp mobs North-East of [[The Green Belt]] of the [[Wetlands]] drop these also at about 1 in 20 whelps killed.
 
−  
−
* These are also used in [[Alchemy]] and [[Tailoring]] professions.
 
−  
−  
−
=== Enchanting ===
 
−
*Farm any mob which drops green or better quality items. Named elite mobs are particularly good for this.
 
−
*Run instances that are below your level over and over again. Instances have far more uncommon and rare drops than in the world.
 
−
*The building skills (Tailor, Blacksmith, Leatherworker) can make green and above items.
 
−
**People make lots of these items to raise their skill and then vendor them.
 
−
**Make a deal with one/some of these people to give/sell/trade these items to you to melt down for enchanting raw materials.
 
−
***For example, send cloth to a [[Tailoring|tailor]]. They can use it to gain skill and send you the greens they made for you to disenchant.
 
−
**Take up [[Tailoring]] and make your own greens to disenchant. Black Mageweave gear commonly drops Dream Dust and uncommonly drops Nether Essences. If you're lucky, you may be able to buy crafted gear from other tailors for a cheap price, since lower-level tailored gear doesn't sell very well.

==== Flasks of Oil ====
 
−
* The Harvest Reapers of [[Westfall]]
 
−
* Various slimes in the [[Wetlands]]

−  
−
==== Random parts ====
 
−
After your Target Dummy is destroyed ALWAYS check the remains. You will find random engineering pieces and possibly the Fused Wiring.
 
−  
−  
−
=== First Aid ===
 
−
* Bandages - See the Tailoring section [[Places to Farm#Tailoring|below]] for where to get the various cloth types.
 
−
* Antivenom - Venom sacs for lower level antivenom drop off of venomous spiders located throughout the world.

This is a [[nocturnal]] fish, hence the name.
 
−  
−
* [[Winterspring]], at [[Frostfire Hot Springs]]
 
−
* [[Feralas]], just west of [[Camp Mojache]]
 
−
* [[The Hinterlands]], in the small lake behind [[Quel'Danil Lodge]]
 
−
* [[Moonglade]], in the land-locked lake near the flight points.

=== Herbalism ===
 
−
The [http://www.gathereraddon.com/ Gatherer add-on] is particularly useful for recording where you've encountered herbs in the wild.
 
−  
−
==== Bloodvine ====
 
−
[[Bloodvine]] is the most rare herb in the game. It drops in [[Zul'Gurub]] when herbs are harvested by someone with a [[Blood Scythe]] in their bags, and sometimes from mobs.
 
−  
−
==== Black Lotus ====
 
−
[[Black Lotus]] used to be the most valuable herb in the game found outside of instances, though they are largely supplanted by [[Frost Lotus]] now. Find it in places such as [[Winterspring]] and [[Eastern Plaguelands]]. It was required to create [[flask]] consumables until the advent of the [[Burning Crusade]]. They have a long respawn timer and are often heavily farmed.
 
−  
−
==== Frost Lotus ====
 
−
[[Frost Lotus]] is the currently needed Lotus for Lich King endgame flasks. They have a chance to drop off *any* Lich King Herb, but do so with greater frequency with the higher level herbs, I.E. [[Lichbloom]], [[Adder's Tongue]], or [[Talandra's Rose]]. Auction prices are relatively stable on most realms between 20-40g per Lotus. Note: They are NOT millable by scribes, so are primarily useful to Alchemists.
 
−  
−
==== Stranglekelp ====
 
−  
−
[[Stranglekelp]] can be reliably farmed in [[Baradin Bay]], near [[Menethil Harbor]], the coast around [[Ratchet]] in [[The Barrens]]; and in the waters surrounding the [[Zoram Strand]] on the coast between [[Darkshore]] and [[Ashenvale]]. A few plants have been seen regularly along the coast of [[Stranglethorn Vale]] near the [[Vile Reef]]. Another very reliable place to farm for this herb is all along the coast of [[Westfall]].
 
−  
−
You can also get Stranglekelp without being an herbalist, by fishing: small quantities of it turn up regularly in schools of fish and pools of floating wreckage.
 
−  
−
==== Swiftthistle ====
 
−  
−
Swiftthistle is a rareish drop found in [[Briarthorn]] and Mageroyal and a few drops from plant-type creatures such as [[Deviate Shambler]] in [[Wailing Caverns]] and [[Thistleshrub Dew Collector]]s in the far southwest of [[Tanaris]] near the entrance to [[Un'goro Crater]].
 
−  
−
==== Wildvine ====
 
−
[[Wildvine]] is a rare drop next to [[Purple Lotus]]. It also is a rare-ish random drop from the Trolls in [[The Hinterlands]] and [[Stranglethorn Vale]].
 
−  
−
==== Blindweed ====
 
−
[[Blindweed]] is a scarce high level herb that can be found in [[Swamp of Sorrows]], [[Un'Goro Crater]], and [[Zangarmarsh]]. Swamp of Sorrows is an excellent location for farming Blindweed because it has a very high drop rate and it is relatively out of the way.
 
−  
−
==== Ghost Mushroom ====
 
−
[[Ghost Mushroom]] is a scarce mid-level herb (245) that is found in ''many'' caves throughout the upper level zones (level 45+) of [[Kalimdor]] and [[Eastern Kingdoms]]. Further, many caves in [[Outlands]] and [[Northrend]] ''do'' contain a few of these herb nodes. They *are* millable by scribes, but due to the relatively scarce nature, they are not a great way of attaining pigment. Primarily used by Alchemists to make [[Ghost Dye]] which is needed for pre-BC relative endgame craftable tailoring items. Note that each node only gives 1 mushroom.
 
−  
−
==== Netherbloom ====
 
−
[[Netherbloom]] was previously used in mana potions and is rare enough to present a high AH price. It requires a [[Herbalism]] skill of 360 and can be found all over [[Netherstorm]].
 
−  
−
=== [[Leatherworking]] ===
 
−
Light Leather can be farmed pretty easily at the [[Maclure Vineyards]] and [[Stonefield Farm]] in Elwynn Forest for beginning Leatherworkers. It can also be obtained at the Raptor Ground in the Barrens.
 
−  
−
A wide variety of low- to mid-level leather drops can be gotten at [[Whelgar's Excavation Site]] in the [[Wetlands]]. Go with a group for the quests there and you can easily fill your packs by the time you finish them.
 
−  
−
The raptors in [[Whelgar's Excavation Site]] drop Light Leather, Medium Leather, Heavy Leather, Light Hides, Medium Hides and Heavy Hides. Most drops are in the medium range but approximately 25-50% will be a combination of light and heavy leather.
 
−  
−
Also the crocolisk island (the southernmost island in the [[Loch Modan]]) has a pretty fast spawn rate and every mob is skinnable for leather, which is mostly of the light variety.
 
−  
−
The abundance of wolves (level 40+) in the usually scarcely populated [[Hinterlands]] provide both thick and heavy leather. They respawn quickly. It's rare to not find a wolf right outside of Aerie Peak.
 
−  
−
==== [[Black Dragonscale]] ====
 
−
Lvl 50+ - Any of the dragonkin in [[Burning Steppes]] & [[Blackrock Spire]] have a chance of dropping them. For a [http://www.thottbot.com/?i=8409 better breakdown] see Thottbot.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 45+:''' [[Badlands]]. Elite whelps in [[Lethlor Ravine]] can drop Black Scales but the drop rate is abysmally low.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 58+:''' Upper [[Blackrock Spire]]. The dragonkin here drop scales from skinning at about a 10-15 percent drop rate. Also, scales of any color can be skinned off the chromatic dragonkin. Chromatics are found in the Rend encounter and at the end boss, [[General Drakkisath]].
 
−
*'''LvL. 57+:''' Black Dragonkin, drakes and whelps south of Blackrock mountain.
 
−  
−
==== [[Blue Dragonscale]] ====
 
−
* Mostly Elite Dragonkin and Non-Elite Dragon Whelps in [[Winterspring]] and [[Azshara]]. [http://thottbot.com/?i=18409 Thottbot]
 
−  
−
==== [[Cobra Scales]] ====
 
−  
−
Lvl 70+ - Skinned off Coilskar Cobras in Coilskar Point in shadowmoon valley or Twilight Serpents west of Forge Camp Hate in Nagrand. These are used to craft {{loot|Rare|Cobrahide Leg Armor}} and sell about 20g a pop in the Auction House.
 
−  
−
==== [[Core Leather]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 62 Elite:''' Get it by skinning the ancient core hounds in [[Molten Core]], To do so requires you to have a skinning skill of 310, which before The Burning Crusade required you to have {{loot|Rare|Finkle's Skinner}}, which is only dropped by The Beast . You can also progress to Zul'Gurub to get the {{loot|Rare|Zulian Slicer}} off High Priest Thekal, which also raises skinning by 10.
 
−  
−
==== [[Deviate Scale]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 18+:''' [[Wailing Caverns]] in the [[Barrens]]. [[Deviate Scale]]s can be skinned and found as drops from raptors and vipers inside and outside of the instance. They can (rarely) be skinned for [[Perfect Deviate Scale]]s as well.
 
−  
−
==== [[Devilsaur Leather]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 54+:''' The [[Un'Goro Crater]]. Huge Devilsaurs stalking around the area. [[:Image:Devilsaur Pathing.jpg|Pathing Map]]
 
−  
−
==== [[Fel Scales]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 64+:''' [[Fel Scales]] may be found by skinning the [[Ravager]]s found by [[Falcon Watch]] in [[Hellfire Peninsula]].
 
−
*'''Lvl. 70+:''' skinning [[Shard-Hide Boar]]s at [[The Crystalspine]] or [[Ogri'la]] in [[Blade's Edge Mountains]].
 
−  
−
==== [[Fel Hide]]s ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 64+:''' [[Fel Hide]]s may be found by skinning the [[Felbeast|Artifact Seeker]] at [[Arklon Ruins]] in [[Netherstorm]]
 
−  
−
==== [[Green Dragonscale]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 42+:''' All around the Pool of Tears in the [[Swamp of Sorrows]] The creatures are Lvl. 42-45. These dragons were once elite, but were recently changed to non-elite.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 50+:''' [[Temple of Atal'Hakkar]] (a.k.a. Sunken Temple). There are many elite Green Dragonkin that can drop scales here.
 
−  
−
==== [[Green Whelp Scale]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 35-36:''' The Dreaming and Adolescent Whelplings drop these in [[Swamp of Sorrows]].
 
−  
−
==== [[Heavy Leather]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 35+:''' [[Dustwallow Marsh]] along the eastern coastline. Mudrock Tortoise range from 36-38.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 38-40:''' Western [[Badlands]] near Kargath. Best drop rates from the wolves and cats lvls 38-40.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 38-40:''' [[Dustwallow Marsh]], around Bloodfen Burrow in the southwest (coordinates approx. 31, 65). Raptors have very good drop rate. Good farming spot due to quick respawn and many mobs in a confined area.

*'''Lvl. 35+:''' [[Stranglethorn Vale]], raptors around Grom'gol Base Camp. Drop rate is VERY high (depending on skinning level).
 
−
*'''Lvl. 30-35:''' The [[Growless Cave]], at the base of [[Alterac Mountains]] are teeming with [[Yeti]] that drop medium and heavy leather. The place is also a favorite of gold farmers in some servers, so a skinner will sometimes just need to skin, without having to kill anything.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 32:''' [[Hillsbrad Foothills]] A little bit counter intuitive, but the yeti cave north of [[Southshore]]. Mostly drop [[Medium Leather|medium leather]], but it's actually faster to just farm medium leather and turn it into [[Heavy Leather|heavy leather]].
 
−
*'''Lvl. 40+:''' [[Stranglethorn Vale]] along the southern coast line. Jungle Stalker raptors range from 40-43. Great place too, due to the large number of people killing them for quests. These mobs also ''occasionally'' drop Thick Leather.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 40+:''' Wolves near Aerie Peak in [[The Hinterlands]] provide heavy leather and heavy/thick hides. These mobs also ''occasionally'' drop Thick Leather.
 
−  
−
==== [[Heavy Scorpid Scale]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 50+:''' The [[Burning Steppes]]. Scorpok in the low to middle 50's
 
−
*'''Lvl. 50+:''' [[Silithus]]. Scorpok's in the high 50's
 
−  
−
====[[Knothide Leather]]====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 64+:''' [[Nagrand]]. The [[Talbuk Thorngrazer]]s around [[Garadar]] drop mostly Knothide Leather (65%; about 35% of the time they drop 1-3 scraps) and go down fairly quick, while dealing low damage
 
−  
−
*'''Lvl. 61+:''' [[Hellfire Peninsula]]. The [[Deranged Helboar]] around [[Honor Hold]] , [[Thrallmar]] and To the south of [[Hellfire Citadel]] do drop Knothide Leather, around 60% of the time they drop 1 maybe 2 scraps and the rest of 40 % 1 Knothide Leather, They Die quite fast, but they do considerable damage.
 
−  
−
==== [[Larval Acid]] ====
 
−
* '''Lvl 55''' non-aggressive grubs in [[Eastern Plaguelands]]
 
−
* '''Lvl 60+''' some grubs in [[AQ20]]
 
−  
−
==== [[Pristine Hide of the Beast]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 60+:''' You get it by skinning [[The Beast]] in [[Blackrock Spire]]. To do so requires you to have a skinning skill of 310, which before The Burning Crusade required you to have {{loot|Rare|Finkle's Skinner}}, which is only dropped by [[The Beast]]. You can also progress to [[Zul'Gurub]] to get the {{loot|Rare|Zulian Slicer}} off [[High Priest Thekal]], which also raises skinning by 10.
 
−  
−
==== [[Raptor Hide]] ====
 
−
''Note: [[Raptor Hide]] is a drop, and not skinned''
 
−
*'''Lvl. 30-38:''' [[Arathi Highlands]]. Raptors. Highland Strider, Highland Thrasher, and Highland Fleshstalkers. Most roam the zone, the fleshstalkers are found west of Boulderfist Hall.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 40+:''' The [[Stranglethorn Vale]] Raptors. There are a large number of Raptors north of and around [[Grom'Gol Base Camp]].
 
−
*'''Lvl. 38-40:''' [[Dustwallow Marsh]], around Bloodfen Burrow in the southwest (coordinates approx. 31, 65.) Probably safer than STV if on a PvP server.
 
−  
−
==== [[Rugged Leather]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 55+:''' The [[Winterspring]] Yetis. The Yeti cave South-East of [[Everlook]] with the Ice Thistle Yetis give a high percentage of Rugged Leather.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 55+:''' Angerclaw Maulers, [[Felwood]] (37, 44) High chance of Rugged and Thick drop. Beware of [[Gold Farmer]]s.
 
−  
−
*'''Lvl. 50+:''' In [[The Blasted Lands]] [[Redstone Crystalhide]] , [[Ashmane Boar]] , [[Snickerfang Hyena]] can Drop [[Rugged Leather]] or [[Thick Leather]] , About 45% for [[Rugged Leather]] and 55% for [[Thick Leather]] .
 
−  
−
==== [[Scorpid Scale]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 38+:''' All of [[Tanaris]]. The lowest-level scorpids are closest to [[Gadgetzan]], and range from Lvl 40-47.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 50+:''' The [[Blasted Lands]]. The Scorpok there range from Lvl. 50-51, and generally have better drop rates than [[Tanaris]].
 
−  
−
==== [[Silithid Chitin]] ====
 
−
* '''Lvl 57+''' Elite silithids in [[Silithus]]. It can also be farmed by killing the Tortured Druids and Sentinels around [[Southwind Village]], who will summon up to three [http://www.thottbot.com/index.cgi?n=766402 Hive'Ashi Drones] upon death. This can be risky and/or lethal, but easier than the slow farming of Elites. (Note: Since patch (1.12?), these undead Elves only summon one drone upon death - which have a fairly high droprate of the Chitins.)
 
−  
−
==== [[Thick Leather]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 40+:''' The southern stretch of [[Dustwallow Marsh]] is an excellent place to farm for thick leather. The [[Dragonspawn]] often skin for 1-2, otherwise dropping heavy leather. They range from level 40-45.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 41-44:''' Crystalvein Mine (42,50) in [[Stranglethorn Vale]] (and the immediate surrounding area outside the entrance) has tons of Basilisks that drop Thick Leather most of the time, but also Heavy Leather. Re-spawn rate is excellent, since even at 80, after a full run through the area, re-spawns started showing up.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 48+:''' Southeast to east of [[Un'Goro Crater]]. The raptors range from levels 48-51.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 49-50:''' Along the eastern shore in [[The Hinterlands]] are turtles from level 49-50. They drop thick leather roughly 60% of the time and rugged leather roughly 40% of the time. Be wary of [[Gammerita]], however, an aggressive turtle who will attack on sight. Read a full writeup on the hinterland turtles [[Farming Hinterland turtles|here]].
 
−  
−
====[[Thick Clefthoof Leather]]====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 65:''' [[Nagrand]]. [[Clefthoof Bull]]s outside [[Garadar]].
 
−  
−
==== [[Turtle Scale]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 35+:''' Northeast coast of [[Dustwallow Marsh]], extending Northwest from [[Theramore Isle]]. The turtles range from Lvl. 36-38.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 40+:''' East coast of [[Tanaris]]. The turtles along the northern part of the coast are levels 40-43 and usually drop 1 scale at a time. Turtles along the southern coast are levels 48-50 and often drop 1-2 scales. Be mindful of level 50-51 elite giants mixed among the turtles on the southern coast. The southernmost beach in [[Tanaris]], [[Land's End Beach]] is loaded with the same 48-50 turtles, and no elite giants. Probably the best and loneliest place to farm Turtle Scales.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 50+:''' East coast of [[The Hinterlands]]. The turtles are level 49-51. These Turtles normally drop 1-3 scales. There is one aggressive named turtle [[Gammerita]] that wanders among them who will attack you on sight, so be vigilant when hunting here. Read a full writeup on the hinterland turtles [[Farming Hinterland turtles|here]].
 
−  
−
==== [[Worn Dragonscale]] ====
 
−
*'''Lvl. 40+:''' [[Lethlor Ravine]] in the eastern [[Badlands]]. The whelps there are Lvl. 41-43, and the dragons are 41-50 Elites. The whelps and dragons are separate, so you don't need to worry about getting roasted if you're farming solo.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 40+:''' [[Sprite Darter]] in a ravine west of [[Camp Mojache]]. The darters here are 42-45 and only killable by members of the Horde.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 40+:''' [[Wyrmbog]] in [[Dustwallow Marsh]]. All the sprites and dragonkin here.
 
−
*'''Lvl. 55+:''' [[Blackrock Spire]]. Worn Scales can drop off any dragonkin here.
 
−  
−
=== Tailoring ===
 
−
*[[Cloth]] is dropped by humanoids. Higher levels mean better cloth.
 
−
*[[Murloc]]s have very low cloth drop rates (if they actually drop any at all) so don't farm them for cloth.
 
−
*[[Skinning|Skinnable]] [[Humanoid]] mobs also drop little (or probably no) cloth at all either. ([[Yeti]], [[Worgen]], [[Wendigo]] etc).
 
−
*The [[Scarlet Crusade|'Scarlet']] mobs in [[Tirisfal Glades]] around and in the [[Scarlet Monastery]] have higher than normal rates for cloth drops in general
 
−
*This is also good for players doing the Cloth Quartermaster quests for [[Faction]] [[reputation]].
 
−  
−
==== Netherweave Cloth ====
 
−
[[Netherweave Cloth]] Can be found at [[Tuurem]] , there, [[Tuurem Scavenger]] , [[Tuurem Hunter]] , [[Wrekt Seer]] and [[Wrekt Warrior]] Drop [[Netherweave Cloth]] and have 55% drop rate so pretty common drop, But be advised, it is much better to take them on one by one, and flying mount is advised lvl 63+.
