How to farm Thick 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.

Targets and farming method

Skin the dragonkin around Stonemaul Ruins and Den of Flame in Dustwallow Marsh (levels 40–44). Ravasaurs in Un’Goro Crater (48–51) and Incendosaurs inside Searing Gorge’s cave (47–49) are alternatives.

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.

Enter the original Temple of Atal’Hakkar dungeon from the lake temple. Kill, fully loot and skin eligible beasts and dragonkin inside. Clear manageable sections so corpses do not disappear before you skin them. The marker shows dungeon access, not an interior route. Markers identify approximate areas. Lines are suggested searches; they are not fixed spawn locations or a measured yield guarantee.
