How to farm Heavy 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.

Farm the dragonkin around Stonemaul Ruins. The skins give a mixture of Heavy and Thick Leather, so keep both materials. 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.
