How to farm Light 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.

Targets and farming method

Skin Thunderhawk Cloudscrapers, Thunderheads and Zhevra Coursers around Camp Taurajo in the original Barrens (levels 20–22). Southern Darkshore’s Moonstalker Matriarchs, Giant Foreststriders and Grizzled Thistle Bears are alternatives at levels 16–20.

Original Classic skinning map

The Barrens — Light Leather base map — Work the countryside around Camp Taurajo, targeting the level 20–22 beasts. Alliance players should keep clear of the Horde camp guards. 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.
