Updated 21 October 2026

This is the Retail guide for Savage Leather. 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 Savage Leather

  • Tol Barad
  • Twilight Highlands
  • Deepholm

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 Darkwood Lurkers and Darkwood Broodmothers on Tol Barad Peninsula, or Baradin Crocolisks in Tol Barad. Southeast of Kirthaven in Twilight Highlands, worgs, elk, owls and gryphons provide another outdoor circuit.

Skin fully looted worgs, elk, owls and gryphons around the green northeastern slopes. Highland Worgs also provide Toughened Flesh as ordinary loot. Avoid Kirthaven’s guards if hostile.
