Updated 21 October 2026

This is the Retail guide for Blackened Dragonscale. It covers an older expansion’s crafting material, not Midnight’s new reagents.

Train Cataclysm Skinning for this material. Retail uses a separate 1–75 Cataclysm skill bar; the old combined 1–600 progression does not apply. Character levels depend on zone scaling and timeline selection, so the map and quest requirements in your current game determine access.

Where to farm Blackened Dragonscale

  • Twilight Highlands
  • Deepholm
  • Mount Hyjal

Kill and fully loot the skinnable beasts in the farming area, then skin each corpse. Move between packs so that earlier groups can respawn. Learn the matching expansion’s Skinning skill for better gathering results.

Targets and farming method

Skin dragonkin in Twilight Highlands’ Obsidian Forest. Stone Drakes knocked down by the giants at Deepholm’s Pale Roost are an alternative. Loot each corpse before skinning; some skins yield Savage Leather instead.

Kill and loot the dragonkin, then skin. Savage Leather can appear instead of a scale. Outlines mark approximate farming areas; clear the suitable targets inside them and repeat as they respawn. Markers identify areas, not guaranteed individual spawns.
