How to farm Medium Leather

Kill and fully loot suitable beasts, then skin their corpses. Carry a Skinning Knife.

Classic Era, TBC and Wrath use the original Azeroth terrain. Cataclysm and Mists use the reworked world, so use a route for your realm’s terrain.

See Skinning leveling for progression and related materials.

Clear the worgen outside and inside Roland’s Doom, then work Rotting Orchard in Duskwood (levels 28–31). Foothill Caverns’ yetis in Hillsbrad offer another farm at levels 30–32.

Original Classic skinning map

Duskwood — Medium Leather base map — Alternate between the orchard and cave, clearing the level 28–31 worgen. Be prepared for enemies respawning behind you inside the cave. Outlines mark approximate farm areas. Move between suitable creatures inside the area, loot them fully and then skin. These are original-world locations, not Cataclysm’s redesigned zones.
Rotting Orchard — worgen — 64, 74
Roland’s Doom — worgen outside and inside the cave — 74, 76
