Raw beast hides (and the scraps) are skinned from beasts by skinners. Lower level beasts create scraps instead of whole hides. The hides can also be created by barn workorders with trapped clefthoof and elekks.

There are 3 elite beasts that can be trapped for Barn level 3 using a Deadly Iron Trap. The Ironhide Bull work order produces Raw Beast Hide and a chance at Savage Blood.

A good place to start farming skins in Warlords of Draenor is the low lying area to the southwest of Bladespire Fortress (in Frostfire Ridge zone). The Wooly Clefthoof mobs are easy to kill for a level 90 player, and can give you a good start on levelling your skinning/leatherworking trade. Typically you will get 4 to 6 scraps and a fair bit of Sumptuous Fur as well. Note the birds in the area (Frostfire Bonestrippers) are also skinnable.

I've noticed that there seems to be a massive disparity at the early 90 levels between the amount of farming required for crafting leather vs. cloth. I've been farming the small Coldsnout herds Coldsnout Sow to the west of the Garrison. These have been dropping up to about 5 Raw Beast Hide Scraps and about 3 Sumptuous Fur. To make a shipment at the tannery takes 50 Raw Beast Hide Scraps to make 5 Raw Beast Hide to then make 1 Burnished Leather but for tailoring it only needs 5 Sumptuous Fur to make a 1 Hexweave Cloth.
Now I realise that higher level beasts will have a better leather drop rate but at this level the difference in farming materials required is nearly a factor of 10. This seems very unfair on leatherworkers.

Comment by Jazzcat

How do you get the recipe to make Raw Beast Hide? I have looked everywhere and read everything but don't seem to be able to find it. I must have 600 scraps that I don't seem to be able to do anything with. Made my Tannery, checked out the Trainer in Ashran and nothing.

Comment by selena2691

Can't remember if I already had the tannery (having learnt leatherwork past 600) but have you tried just "using" the scraps by rightclicking them in your bag? I too was looking under my leatherworking to find the recipe for making leather from scraps and luckily saw the use option being present - thus giving me 1 Raw Beast Hide for 10 Raw Beast Hide Scraps

Comment by Coraship

I've found the Windroc's at 70, 43.4 in Nagrand are easy to kill for a guaranteed Hide or 2 alongside the neighboring Talbuk (not the colts).

Comment by seasaint7

Alliance-side leatherworkers, or anyone using a Tannery in their Garrison: Make the most out of your time in Shadowmoon Valley. The Hills of Valuun in front of the Temple of Karabor is the best place to farm, and you'll find quite a bit more as you quest throughout the zone. Do the bonus objective and The Big Haul there. Spending a few more minutes to do these quests lets you get a little bit more from other players' kills. When you leave Shadowmoon Valley, you won't find nearly as much leather in the other zones.

Comment by nitroviathan

If you are horde, the best way by far to level your skinning from 1-660 is in the fissure just east of your frostwall garrison. There are tons of wolves and bugs that are very weak and all grant 3-6 beast hide scraps. As a boomkin, I stand at one spot between two wolf dens, and starfall literally aggroes and kills 10-15 mobs in the area by itself. I barely have enough time to loot and skin all the mobs before they disappear. The spawn rate is also incredibly quick (< a min).

Comment by monto6

One good place to farm this is at Talador killing http://www.wowhead.com/npc=79909#skinning they drop 3 Raw Beast Hide (almost all times) the bad thing is they are not many and have low respawn but u can always go around that place and kill some Ridge Prowler and some Teroclaw's for scraps.

Comment by gremlin60

Just south of Garrison in Shadowmoon Valley at 28,31 there are wolfs. skinning them gives you Raw Beast Hide Scraps. 10 of thees gives you 1 Raw Beast Hide. just south from there you see Bloodthorn Ravager. the also drop that when skinned

Comment by Troelsy

I had the best luck skinning the Nagrand Prowler in ..Nagrand. Roughly coords 88, 49.

Also, made a video of the place. Not very exciting to look at. I mean.. It's FARMING. lol

!00% drop rate and fast spawns - Arak 45,36

Comment by Aliandrin

The best place to farm this leather, period, is Nagrand, anywhere there are Thorncoat Talbuk.

Other Talbuk come with babies, and the babies aren't skinnable. The Thorncoats are all on their own. Pull some Rocs and smaller (not bulls; bulls are too big) Clefthoof to add to your pile.

Comment by cossmadeinqc

1 very good place for farm Raw Beast Scrap look for Moonshell Crawler on the beach Eventide Landing (Shadowmoon Valley). About 12 000 health each and respawn fast, for see map click here : Moonshell Crawler

Comment by SingingKITTY

In my opinion, the very best place for skinning these as a level 100 Alliance (that I have found anyways) in my travels is in Ashran, in the Ampitheatre of Annihilation. Simply run from the town east to the Molten Quarry, up on the slope in the quarry is an alliance warlock Teleporter that takes you instantly to the farming camp, in the Ampitheatre. You are looking for Sporebat Darters, they fly in packs up in the air if you have an aoe ranged, and also respawn quickly along the ground.
The flying packs are the main goal here, cuz you can get 4-5 at once and they usually drop between 2-3 Hides. This can translate to 12-15 Hides a pull! The main attraction to this camp is that the Sporebats also drop 3 Archaeology fragments apiece for the Ashran war effort, (and it is pretty safe to get back to camp to turn in frags using the teleporter) this translates directly to honor, and honor can translate directly to a whole lot of things, JP, gold, mats, gear etc. I dont believe Blizzard has ever had a camp where you could grind honor and skinning at the same time, and I applaude them for it. There was the Crocolisks in TB, but you hjad to hope for random kills. This camp directly does reward you for Arch frag grind with honor.

I really do think this is the best camp I've found so far. I can garuntee horde have a nice camp somewhere in the Ashran zone as well, you can tell Blizzard wants skinners to congregate here, and for opposing factions to world pvp each other. Or well, thats how it looks right now anyways. Skinning and getting Ashran Arch frags at the same time for the win! As I explore Ashran I will update if I find a better camp.

Comment by Doonkey

Just a heads up to anyone else farming these hides, go to Eventide Landing north of your Garrison. The Moonshell Crawlers there reward 5-6 scraps, and the respawn rate is absolutely absurd. They respawn faster then you can kill them i believe because they are a quest objective for the Garrison. Compared to killing the Wolfs and Talbuks, this blows them it out of the water. The time it takes to kill and skin 5 Talbuks or Wolf, you could have killed and skinned 20 of them.

Comment by Mydge

Mar'Gok's Overwatch in Nagrand, near 78, 72.

There are about 5 Tamed Clefthoof nearby that spawn constantly.

My pick for best farming place, with near instant respawns, and 20-25 Raw Beast Hides/10 minutes (probably faster for you, I'm a slow killer). You can also pick up Raw Clefthoof Meat and plenty of Sumptuous Fur.

Edit: If you have a Barn, you can also trap the Tamed Clefthoof. As a skinner, I was trapping one then going off to kill and skin my own. It does slow the respawn rate down a little with the role play, but once the RP is complete they appear instantly again.

Comment by Kariego

#1 Spot for lvl 100 characters, both Horde and Alliance:

Nagrand 78.5 / 72.0 -- Tamed Clefthoof.

Neutral mobs that insta respawn when all dead, so no moving around or unwanted aggro / patrols. Will receive bonus items other than hides: Sumptuous Fur, Raw Clefthoof Meat, both worth extra gold.

Comment by Rhoetrem

The best place by far that I've seen to farm Raw Beast Hide is at Sporemist Shallows in Spires of Arak from level 96 Spore Drifter.

There always seem to be enough people doing Unwanted Pests that leave plenty of corpses around to skin without having to kill any yourself. Even if no one is around killing them ahead of you, these mobs are very easy to kill and there are about 20 within the area at any given time.

100% chance of skinning Raw Beast Hide.

Happy Skinning!

Comment by wolframwow

A great spot is Hallvalor in Nagrand, very east side where wolves are! The place is exactly on the 2nd "A" from word "Hallvalor". Each wolf drops 2 raw beast hides!

Comment by Steeleye

Best place is DARKTIDE ROOST in shadowmoon valley, npc named darkwing matron drops atleast 1 raw beast hide and max of 3 beast hide when skinned :)

Comment by CheevoHuntress

I tried out both of the most common farming spots; Darkmoon Roost (Darkwing Matron) and Mar'gok's Overwatch (Tamed Clefthoof)

I farmed both spots at fairly low times at the same length of time of 10 minutes and here are my results:

Darkmoon Roost
Raw Beast Hide x 28

Mar'gok's Overwatch
Raw Beast Hide x54

Killing the Tamed Clefthoof was much much faster. The beasts spawned almost instantly on top of one another and are very easy to kill as an entire pack or in packs of 4 or 2. I also got tons of Sumptuous Fur, as a Leatherworker that's a huge bonus.
The Darkwing Matrons were trickier to pull, especially from the beach, it meant a lot of running around and pulling a lot of unnecessary mobs as well. It's also a very high traffic area especially for Alliance and rep farming. Overall I highly recommend the Tamed Clefthoof's.

Raptors guys, always the raptors. (Young Razorclaw, Vicious Razorclaw)

Hunters can kite them on their combat mounts. :]

Comment by Shifty158

Just north of Lok-Rath (nagrand) is from what ive found to be the best of spots. Not only are there plains full of endless packs of beasts ready to be skinned. The area is home of the spawn point of not one, but at least 4 Rare Elites used for the Steamweedle cartel. Packs of elks stir around the various trees just waiting to be pulled and skinned. Elite Clefthoofs wonder around waiting to be farmed for your local Barn needs! and one can even find chests, and token to be turned into the cartels to help boost your rep with them.....If that kind of thing is you bag....baby.

Comment by Superdude312

Nagrand is a good place but I've had a lot of competition there depending on the moment of the day.
The animals mostly drop 1 hide (some don't such as the small Talbuks).

Another good spot to farm Raw Beast Hide is in Spires of Arak: Sethekk Hollow.
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXac96LsCng
- Mob: Sethekk Wind Serpent
Sethekk Wind Serpent
- Quest why people kill these
Sons of Sethe

This is one of my favourite spots because I've never had real competition here.
Also: players kill the serpents too because of the quest.
These things die VERY fast. For those who don't prefer to kill lvl 100 mobs for whatever reason, this is the best spot I've found atm.

So in short, for those who can dish out the damage or take it without dying, you can also try:
- Great Windroc (need to do decent damage)
- Nagrand Prowler (need a pet to avoid damage)

Comment by Stoopmandoo

As a 545 BM Hunter the best place I've found is Nagrand at the Nesingwary hunting grounds. I would not recomment this area to anyone other than BM Hunters. Please don't downvote if you're a holy priest that tries this. Those wolves will destroy you and your mother.

There are 4 tiers to the hunting area. The lowest has about 10 Nagrand Prowler, multiple Windroc, and multiple Breezestrider Talbuk. I pull this entire area starting with every wolf I see, and then autoshot or arcane shot any talbuk or windroc nearby. Misdirect to your pet, multishot, FD, and then burn them down. Keep your pet healed and pets with shell abilities like turtles or clefthoof are best. I regulargly pull packs of 15+ in this area and have them dead in 1-2 minutes.

After that tier is cleared move up to the next tier. There are about 8 wolves, a few windrocs and 1-2 talbuk. Don't take the time to pull the 2 named roaming wolves runing across the bridge unless they are nearby and easily pulled. They have more HP and don't drop any more leather than the others. Make sure to pull both prowlers in the cave at the back corner of this tier.

After those mobs are burned, run up the long hill making sure to grab the wondering pack of wolves that may take either route of the hill. When you see it you will understand. This tier is a bit more spread out so keeping agro on all of them is a bit more tricky but very doable. There are multiple caves along the right wall, some with two wolves per, and multiple rocs on the left ledge. Figuring out how to get them all is pretty simple but takes a little practice. I drop lots of exploding traps to keep them agroed. With a little practice you can easily pull everything from the bottom of the hill leading up to to this tier to the 3 wolves leading up a hill at the far end of this tier and burn them at the tree near the start of that hill. This is definitely the hardest pull for your pet to survive and I have counted 26 mobs in one pull. If you need to break it up do so. It is still completely worth the effort with this constant pull rate.

The next tier is up a sharp incline hill in the opposite direction of the shallow incline hill that the 3 wolves were pulled at the end of the 3rd tier on to a high floating peninsula. This is the smallest of pulls at about 7 mobs or so but it keeps you killing and gives time for the first tier to respawn. After it is cleared you can jump off and disengage near the ground to eliminate fall damage. The next 2 drops are fairly minimal in damage and shouldn't slow you down. Once at the bottom I rinse and repeat.

There are regularly levelers in the area killing the wolves for the bonus objective so sometimes the skinning is even easier. When I started pulling these large packs I had a bit of trouble making sure they were misdirected to my pet so I guess I'll go ahead and share my tactics here rather than let anyone suffer. Two buttons for misdirect and multishot sucks especially since misdirect isn't on the global cooldown. That means you can cast it at the exact same time as any other spell. At least any one I care to cast it with. The problem is I'm lazy and don't like changing my bar between raiding and farming so I use this. /cast Misdirection
/cast multishot. If you have a focus (main tank)(or I guess a healer you hate) it will misdirect to them and then cast multishot. Otherwise it will misdirect to your pet. You can add it to whatever you want including exploding trap! Anyway... the entire circuit takes me about 8 minutes or so to complete at my fastest and I regularly get 70-80 Raw Beast Hide. This is while mounted on a Frostwolf War Wolf to reduce time used to mount and dismount and adding the ability to shoot on the go. If you don't have this perk I would not use this area. I have run every other posted area as BM and survival and have not gotten the results I have here. I would like to post a recorded statistic for a one hour run of the area, but alas, it is Tuesday at 0546 pst and I am now 3 rum and cokes in and therefore have no more motivation for digging for random facts. You can call me lazy. I'll call me.. old and inebriated. Good luck and happy hunting.
