Mainly obtained by skinning.

The Bloodfen Lashtail cave in Dustwallow Marsh is an awesome place to farm if you're the only one there.

At 80 it gets cleared a little too fast. So as someone else said below, you might want to hit The Den of Flame.
You're also really close to Mudsprocket, for Vendor, Inn, Mail and repairs.

what Skinning level you have to be to skin theses? were does it says?

Comment by 179442

Another good place to farm (if your low lvl like me) is STV the Elder Mistvale Gorilla (https://www.wowhead.com/cata/npc=1557) it drops heavy leather 9 out of 10 times for me.

Comment by 267194

Anyone know the best place to skin for only and only heavy leather? I need heavy leather ASAP for my hunters leather working

Comment by 343417

It was probably dumb luck, but I also skinned this from Humar the Pridelord the single time I killed him.

Comment by 369814

NoSmoking is pretty right the raptors are good source of heavy leather and thick leather but in my opinion the dragonkin in the cave just near them is better as u get stack of x2 each heavy leather and thick leather altho u may want heavy leather itll also give u thick leather which u will need after heavy leather so u will b prepared wen ur leatherworking goes up

Comment by 249221

the BEST spot for Heavy leather is by far the jungle stalkers around the Gurubashi Arena , alot of mobs to kill fast spawn time, even as me killing em whit 1 shot as a lvl 80 hunter

Comment by 119706

The best thing is to skin everything skinnable once killed.
STV has the mastery q's, and they need you to kill loads of mobs,
something that gives you a good supplie of Heavy leather.
Most mobs in STV are skinnable, and has good spots with packs.
It's a gankers paradice, but if you go as high lvl, you should be good.
else it's some nice exp.
Also, don't take medium leather for granted,
it can be made into heavy leather of you are LW!

Comment by antisocialian

I'd say that desolace was great for farming this. There are 21 different mobs that drop this at ~40% - 80% drop rates. the kodo graveyard is a good place to start but almost everything you can skin here has a good chance of giving heavy leather. just ignore the birds if you can since you can't skin them...waste of time to kill them(unless you are low enough level that you have to, I was 60 wheni went thru with my druid).

Comment by 477534

another good place to farm is is under the docks at theramore isle in dustwallow marsh kind of a pain to get to if your not alliance the young muck threshers have a get drop rate for this

Comment by oedura

Western Plaguelands isn't bad for this after Cata.

Comment by gmagnus

Fuselight in the Badlands. Neutral billy goats all around, drop heavy and thick leather. They respawn fast enough to provide you with unlimited leather. Nothing dangerous around, so you don't even need to pay attention, and can go afk without worrying about something jumping up and biting you.

Comment by 572513

If you have or can get this quest Silithissues, just keep farming off the silithids outside Desolation Hold (42,68) in Southern Barrens. They spawn 3-6 at a time, and have 201-211 hp, and drop mostly Heavy Leather, and some medium, which can be converted. Just go pick it up, it's the beginning of a chain.

Comment by 742185

Duskwallow Marsh - Southwestern section where all the raptors are. Very easy to kill, quick respawn time and almost always drop heavy leather. They cover a big section of the map (along with the basilisks), shouldn't have any problem farming.

The dragonkin in the midsection of the zone also drop heavy. Stay clear of northern Duskwallow

Comment by Lyann

Western Plaguelands are better for heavy leather than Eastern. Level 36 beasts are what I look for as they seem to have the best rate for dropping heavy leather rather than medium or thick leather.

Comment by dlhlew

I've had great luck farming heavy leather at Feral Scar Vale in Feralas. The yetis found in and around the caves there drop heavy leather almost exclusively (i got just a little bit of thick leather). I was able to farm up 120 heavy leather in about a half an hour with a 50 rogue at this location.

Comment by Ozrek

Just farmed Heavy Leather off Bloodfen Raptors in norther Dustwallow Marsh, it was a near 100% droprate for every one. If you are looking for Heavy Leather, these are the best NPC's to get them from outside of dungeons.

Comment by 762980

Try Jaguero Isle at Stranglethorn Vale. Just work your way all around the island killing gorillas, monkeys and cats. They respawn fast so you can work as fast as you like. Most drop heavy leather, sometimes you'll get medium, but it's easy to convert to heavy so no big deal. The drop rate of Heavy Hide is rather good. Got 3 after 25 or so kills. You will occasionally get Medium Hide as well.

Comment by 78589

feral scar yeti's drop a ton of this stuff in feralas. I was able to farm about 120 inside an hour.

Comment by 767683

killed all the raptors in dragonmurk in dustwallow marsh (took about 20 minutes) and got 31 heavy leather and a bunch of raptor eggs, which are useful and sell well. respawn is about ten minutes, waiting to do it all again!

Comment by 778589

I have found the western plaugelands to be a good spot to farm for heavy leather also got several heavy hides. I have been focusing on the diseased wolves and hulking plaugebears.

Comment by 733706

If you are a skinner and want a never-ending supply of heavy leather without having to wait for respawns, go to the Den of Flame in Dustwallow Marsh (39, 65). Clear everything there, including the cave.

Then go to the raptor cave at 32, 65 (west from the Den of Flame). Clear the large dino (Goreclaw) early on as he respawns fairly quickly and you can get him a few times as you clear the area and the cave.

After all the dinos are cleared, go back to the Den of Flame. Rinse and repeat.

Comment by fourdeeounce

Yetis in faralas cave was a GREAT place for heavy leather 95% skinned heavy leather Went through the cave and came out wiht 58 heavy leathers. So far all the IronFur Bears i skinned around Faralas was 100% heavy leather as well.

Comment by Bernok

Very easily farmed from Rage Scar Yetis in Feralas

Comment by 795925

Hey guys a great way to farm heavy leather heres the video enjoy and gl :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quze5S3zGzg

Comment by 794808

Rage Scar Yetis in Feralas yielded almost 100% heavy leather. Good rec. Only downer was the heartbreaking violin that started playing as I slaughtered the Yetis with my level 62 Rogue. ...made me feel like I was killing the last of the great American Buffalo... bummer. But got almost three stacks in half an hour!

Comment by 355072

You can still get these pretty fast if you dont need many of them without being a skinner or without buying from ah - Fish from Waterlogged Wreckage Pools in Western Plaguelands and loot the Iron Bound Trunks. They have about 30% chance to give 2-4 heavy leather. I got 10 in about 20 min.
Not very fast, but good if you don't have skinning and there's no heavy leather in your sever's ah.

Comment by snafu2480

the triangle shaped area just above camp mojache has a good drop % off heavy's too

Comment by AzSinistar

I found the wolves and snapjaws in the Hinterlands (all the way on the east coast) to be a good spot, kill all the wolves, run down kill the turtles and back up.

Comment by 837307

The bears around Chillwind Camp in Western Plaguelands are a good source. Respawn is quick and a couple of circuits should net you a decent amount. There's also a leather trader at the camp so you can farm, produce and sell all day.

Comment by 4324

For those who are flight point challenged, here is another good spot that is a little more accessible by "public transportation".

Go to Theramore (take the boat from Menethil Harbor) and plot a course for Tabitha's Farm. Then just work the area between there and Mudsprocket. You can kill just about anything that looks like a crocolisk and when those start to get in short supply, you can wander into the Den of Flame and work on dragonkin -- which also drop mageweave which can make you some nice $$$. The dragonkin tend to drop thick though so you should only use them as a diversion while you wait for the crocolisks to respawn. Haven't checked the raptors, but I imagine they're likely the same. That "corner" of Dustwallow is a skinner's dream!

Addendum: Actually, I TAKE THAT BACK! The Den of Flame is an awesome spot to farm. Seems at the speed I go, I clear the inside, clear the outside, and then the inside respawns again. Perfect spot if nobody else is there and at the moment, there's not even anybody else in the ZONE!

Comment by PrestoK

Skinning Feral Scar Yetis in SW Feralas (around 51 48, if you have coords) is very good. Thing is they ALWAYS drop an item that begins a quest, so if you don't have the level to do it (like myself) you might need a macro to delete/destroy the item and be able to skin them without having to delete it manually every time.

#show OOX-22/FE Distress Beacon
/run for x=0,4 do for y=1,GetContainerNumSlots(x) do l=GetContainerItemLink(x,y) if l then if GetItemInfo(l)=="OOX-22/FE Distress Beacon" then PickupContainerItem(x,y) DeleteCursorItem() return end end end end

This macro worked great for me, after testing many macros I found on google.

Comment by Deathbat

The Den of Flame and Bloodfen Burrow in Dustwallow Marsh is awesome farming for heavy leather. The Den of Flame and Bloodfen Burrow are just a short walk away, so just jump back and forth while you're waiting for Firemane Scout and/or the Bloodfen Lashtail to re-spawn.

I farmed here for about 15 minutes and came out with:

23 Heavy Leather
9 Raptor Egg
10 Thick Leather
1 Mace (Murphstar of the Monkey)
2 Magewave Cloth
1 Heavy Hide
1 Belt - Mail (Girdle of Golem Strength)

..and a bunch of other stuff along with money. Level 72 Rouge here and I give this location 2 thumbs up! :D

Edit: If you're high enough level like me, just do a pull of the Firemane Scout and/or the Bloodfen Lashtail then skin and say hello to heavy leather!

Comment by harriparf

I found the best place was in Western Plaguelands following the mountains round from Chillwind camp. All the shaggy black bears drop them

Comment by 883726

Every time I try to visit Murhane to purchase either medium hide or heavy leather, he has no reagents for sell. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, but Murhane in my experience does not sell leather working reagents.

Comment by lrgshadow

Also, if you choose to become King (kill everything else) of Jaguero Isle (Stranglethorn) then you will walk away with many Heavy and (some) Medium Leather.

Comment by Crymoar

I found that Jademir Echospawn in Feralas had a extremely good rate for these. You can circle around the island they're found on and continually skin them, and by the time you make a full loop they're usually back up. Add to that that you're not going to have much if any competition and they're perfect.

Comment by 894165

I have found that the best place to farm for Heavy Leather is in Razorfen Kraul. It is located in the Southern Barrens at the southern most part of the map. It's easier to farm if you are a high enough level to solo the place. The Boars in the ravine drop heavy, medium leather. and also heavy hides. The bats close to the final boss also drops the same items. The second to to the last boss will drop about 3-4 heavy leathers and one heavy hide. I have found to runs gets me about 5-10 heavy hides and about 40-50 heavy leathers for each run.

Comment by 898191

DUSTWALLOW MARSH for sure! I went there to farm and an hour later, i haven't even gotten 2 inches away from where i started, Direhorn Post, and i already hv 120 heavy leathers, 5+ heavy hides, 40+ thick leather/thick hide, not to mention the silk, mageweave, and light feather (leatherworking :P) drops! a couple greens also :D The mobs are pretty spread out, but its 100% drop rate. Just run around the area and kill as you go, also swim through the river thingy east of DH post for the lurker guys....

Comment by 898289

Dustwallow Marsh is by far the best spot... spent an hour there and ended up with 211 heavy leather, 62 thick leather, 2 boe blues and a few greens. Kill everything around the den of flames and stonemaul ruins, including the whelps, crocs and noxious flying thingys (don't remember proper name) as they all drop it!

Make sure you go with relatively spacious bags though otherwise you'll end up stopping every 5-10 min to destroy a load of junk like I did...

Comment by 904146

I found that i play alliance toons so instead of trying to get to d/m or anywhere in kalimdor, if you go north west of andorhal, but south of felstone fields, u will find a field of bears that are awesome for heavy leather, plus hides and so forth

Comment by 747091

Just skinned 100 mobs in Western Plaguelands. The area that I ran from was north of The Mender's Stead, south of Redpine Dell, from the Felstone Field in the west to the Cultist camp to the east. I only killed/skinned Hulking Plaguebear and Diseased Wolf. This is a rundown of what I skinned:

They also dropped 2 greens (Aurora Cloak and Scorching Wand), plenty of meat, and some Darkmoone Faire quest items. If you're looking to stay in Eastern Kingdoms while farming, this is the place to be. The respawn timer on the mobs is fairly quick, to the point where I would go to one end and they would respawn in the middle.

Comment by 224426

"Heavy Leather?"

That'd a good name for a band!

Comment by 159456

Just so you guys know, there are many posts about how easy Medium Leather is to get in Wetlands with that spot where the Ebon Slavehunters spawn constantly at: Well, you can turn 5 Medium leather into a heavy leather and its just about the same or easier that way with the amaaazzingg rate you can get them. Rate this up if you agree!

Comment by Irishwhiskey

i started out between bloodfen burrow and den of flame but ended up just circling wyrmbog for the clusters of 3-6 dragonkin and ended up with 55 thick leather 182 heavy leather 5 heavy hides 5 greens and 2 blues in about an hour. I would stick to wrymbog as i never had to wait for respawns just kept going around.

Comment by jfoobar

If you are on the Eastern side, just kill the loads of shaggy and diseased black bears on either side of the road just east of the Bulwark in Western Plaguelands. Mob density is very high indeed and I would estimate the heavy leather droprate off of these bears at 80%+ with the remaining dropping more medium than thick leather. The patting alliance fox hunters are also worth killing as their bull mastiff pets also skin heavy, as to the yellow foxes themselves, should you choose to venture that far to the east. I got the 58 heavy leathers I needed on a 40 hunter in about 15 minutes or so, with a little help from the level 23 guild bonus.

IMHO, the mob density here is superior to other locations in the Western Plaguelands and I think the heavy to thick ratio is higher here as well, although this last could be my imagination or luck.

Bonus if you are still leveling cooking. The bears have a high droprate of bear flanks, which are used for two different trainer-taught level 250 cooking recipes so bank them/use them if you are still under 300 cooking.

Comment by Thottbot

Anyone know of a good location for farming heavy leather as a level 30ish Horde?

Comment by Thottbot

The Hyena, tutles, ballists in thosand needles

Comment by Thottbot

Earlier today, I was in Shimmering Flats, and I got 4 stacks in less than an hour from Basalisks, Turtles, and Scorpids.

Comment by Thottbot

I usually farm heavy leather in STV off of Elder Mistvale Gorillas. Most of the time there are several people already there killing them and not skinning so I get several stacks within a half hour or so.

Another good place is the Hinterlands off of the wolves just outside of the Alliance fp area.

Comment by Thottbot

Shadowmaw Panthers are great. You can get Heavy Leather, Large Fangs and Shadowcat Hides off them, all of which are worth good money.

Comment by Thottbot

i find it easiest to farm near the yeti's uner the alterac vally entrance in hillsbrad.

for a lvl 60 like me its better to farm heavy leather then rugged as you can get more in less time and on my srever the price is the same (prob. because you use it for thorium brotherhood)

Comment by Thottbot

I am getting a very good drop rate off the raptors up in the north west corner of Dustwallow Marsh, it is most likely that all of that zone would drop well, I don't know, I just started on the raptors and was getting an excellent drop rate so stuck to them.

Heavy Leather is massively overpriced because of Thorium Brotherhood rep, grind this to get cash for your mount.

Comment by Thottbot

Jungle Thunderers near 42,27 in STV nearly always drop this when skinned. Got 43 heavy leather 3 thick leather and a few hides out of 50 skins

Comment by Thottbot

Hinterlands are great. The place is crawling with wolves and you can skin Heavy leather and Thick leather off them (even Wolfhide i think, and various other rare kinds of hide). In about 3 hours I'd made about 13 golds worth of leather or more. Of course it did help, there was a rogue grinding the wolves as well, leaving all the lovely wolfie corpses for me to skin, god bless her.

Er Hinterlands levell 41 - 46 correct me if i'm wrong

Comment by Thottbot

A good place to farm this + thick leather + hides is in STV, go to Crystalvein Mine (40,49), kill, loot farm.

70 Hunter - Zeephace - Dethecus

Comment by Thottbot

I think if your level 30 and need heavy leather you should go to 1k needles or stv

Comment by Thottbot

Check your AH, and compete. Every sever is different. Mine (MugThol) goes about 3g/stack, as little as 1g on the low end, or 8g on holidays. Just watch the market, like everyone else with a money-minded brain. =)

Comment by Thottbot

you can easily find the heavy leather in thousand needles at pesterhide snarler

Comment by Thottbot

I strongly sugest STV, i went to Hinterlands first and found that i got more thick leather then heavy leather. In STV i got heavy leather pretty much EVERY kill :) Happy farming!

Comment by Thottbot

Crystalvein Mine in STV is the best place to get heavy and thick leather! Power level here for sure. Slow basilisks (crocodiles). Trust me.

Vibrio
Level 62 Tauren Warrior

Comment by Thottbot

The easiest place is spirit den in STV 34.64 for those 39+ & also the silverbacks behind the den (there 42+). Hinterlands is good for 42+ & down the coast where turtles are 49+ they don't attack exept 1, just watch out for horde.

Mysticdragon 54 Hunter
Gorgonnash

Comment by Thottbot

I've found that MPC's around 61,52 in desolace, which are lvl 36-38, have a very good farming rate for heavy leather. I got 1 and a half stacks in around five minutes with a lvl 57 feral druid.

Comment by Thottbot

I found that the best place to farm this is the basilisks right near the ramp to go to Gagdetzan. Lots of heavy leathers drop. Hope this helps

Comment by Thottbot

I've found the best place to get Heavy Leather is in Tanaris - Just southeast of Gadgetzan (52,34) area.. Both the Starving Blisterpaw's and the Blisterpaw Hyena's have a great skinning rate of getting Heavy Leather.. I've skinned 16 and got 14 Heavy Leather.. Hope this helps!

Comment by Thottbot

I'm farming a couple stacks an hour off the Raptors in the north western corner of Dustwallow marsh Cords (49,17) Get mostly heavy leather, occasionally medium, and thick leather and all kinds of hides. Also get a few Large Fangs which sell for a couple gold a piece on Andorhal atleast. Good luck farming

48 Gnome Rogue

Comment by Thottbot

^^ synistter ... great loc for Dustwallow Marsh 49,17.

Comment by Thottbot

you should go to stv and q and then theres th tigers/panthers and gorilas you can skin then go to the place where it most drops

Comment by Thottbot

For farming I (Alliance Hunter) prefer the jungle stalker raptors (lvl 40-41) in the area north of Gurubashi Arena.
They are close enough so you dont have to run too far between each kill, some have even young jungle stalkers next to them (lvl 36-37) and you can run around in a circle to get the respawns soon enough.
It is possible to get a stack within 10 minutes.
I take into account also, that raptors drop more white/usable (raptor flesh, raptor hide, raptor egg) items then most other skinable beasts in this area. Basiliks for example drop grey items mostly and gorillas drop fangs and hair which are of no greater use. And I think crocs, tigers and panthers (except shadowmaws occasionaly) are no different.

Comment by Thottbot

I also found a high drop rate of only heavy leather north above and east east of Gurubashi Arena.

Comment by Thottbot

The raptors in Stv are indeed nice. I'm a 70 rogue and plowed trough the area vest of the gurubashi arena in no time. Even tho I oneshot the mobs, they respawn faster then I can kill em.

I got 114 heavy leather and 34 thick leather in a short time, so the rate is brilliant aswell.

Also got over 50 raptor flesh which is nice for leveling cooking.

Most of the drops stack in 10's. Raptor hides and raptor flesh.

Smooth raptor skin stacks in 5's. But is a grey drop so I just tossed it away.

Comment by Thottbot

I find, as a 53 hunter, that if you go to the Kodo Graveyard south of Nigel's Point, they drop heavy leather about 85% of the time with a few medium leathers thrown in there. They also rez really quick, and I even got 3 green items. They also drop a ton of Kodo meat for my pet, but I had so much after an hour I sold it. I'd say you can get 60-80 leathers in an hour...I'm thinking about a little over 1 Kodo a minute.

☺

Comment by Thottbot

O.K., I did it again (lvl 53 hunter w/pet) & here's what I got from the Kodo Graveyard in an hour & 10 min....

89 heavy leather...(stacks of 20 are goin at auction for 3g 50s)

26 medium leather...stacks of this (20) are goin for 10g right now and Im not sure why...I'm underselling for 5 since the market's weird.

41 heavy Kodo Meat... (45s, 92c)

50 thick Kodo Hair... (28s, 70c each stack of 10)so...that would be 1G and 50 Silver? I can't add here. It's a nice chunk of change tho.

13 dirty Kodo scales... (21s 6c)

1 medium hide 1s, 25c
1 heavy hide 2S

Stonecutter Claymore of the Whale (green lvl 30 +9 spirit +8 stamina) gonna auction for 2G

Plans for Golden Scale Leggings (green lvl 29) gonna auction for 50S

Anyway, for an hour & 10 minutes of grindin' it out, the Kodo Graveyard is a little goldmine!

Comment by Thottbot

I found a great place for farming heavy and thick leather. Crystalvein mine in STV from the Basilisks. They drop heavy leather a little more often, but if you're leveling leatherworking like me, you need both of them anyway. The respawn rate isn't bad either. It's just north of Gurubashi Arena.

Comment by Thottbot

I use these to make Hillman's Cloak for the quest

https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=1933

they sell for minimum 10g each and need 5 heavy leather and 2 fine thread to make.

EDIT: the quest is alliance only.

Comment by Thottbot

faming heavy leather, is very good in Savage Coast in strangelthorn vale, skinning salt water crocolisk, very good drop rate!

Comment by Thottbot

after 10 min farm around gurubashi arena in stv killling raptors and such i got:
28 heavy leather
1 heavy hide
1 lockbox
1 green

good place for farming, sure it goes faster if you are higher lvl, i did it as a lvl 50 druid:)

Comment by Thottbot

ok i had a real easy time in shimmering flats in about 15 minutes i had 2 stacks of heavy leather and 1 stack of thick leather the turtles and scorpids there drop it fairly often however do not go near the border because the turtles there on ly drop medium leather but go there

Comment by Thottbot

Best place that I have found as of now is:

The "Jungle Thunderer's in STV"

Drop rate is around: 90% Heavy Leather, 5% Heavy Hide, 5% Thick.

Hope this helps everyone. It took me awhile before I found a sweet spot for heavy.

Comment by Thottbot

Go to badlands, anywhere from 10,63 to 40,63. Wolves and Tigers drop mostly heavy leather, thick leather everyonce in awhile. Animals are pretty close together so you can pull 3-4 and get them. They are about lvl 45-49.

Comment by Allakhazam

if u need it jsut ask...i sell 40s a stack

Comment by Allakhazam

Better drop rate from Raptors behind STV arena and from the Elder mistvale gorrilas in nearby area.

Comment by Allakhazam

I've found that it's very farmable off the Mountain Yetis and Giant Yetis in the Alterac Mountains. Bonuses:

1. They drop money instead of trash items that you have to constantly chuck away.
2. Heavy Leather drop rate is high.
3. Thick concentration.
4. Drops medium leather if it does drop high (about 25% or 33% of the time), so you can combine it up.
5. Lower level mobs than the Badlands mobs to farm the same from.

Comment by Allakhazam

:o)

Edited, Fri Apr 7 06:46:02 2006

Comment by Allakhazam

Places of note for farming:

Bloodfen raptors, especially their little cave in Dustwallow: thick as can be, and if you're remotely slow about killing them you'll never run out as they respawn so nicely.

Badlands cats/dogs, although you have to actually walk from one to the next and they have a nasty habit of hitting you with a minor disease.

The yeti mentioned by Syrae are probably your best bet.

Comment by Allakhazam

I found an awesome spot for farming heavy leather in Stranglethorn. Just midway between Grom'gol base camp and the Mosh'Ogg ogre mound, between the river and the road there are a ton of gorillas with a very decent respawn rate. They're all 37 or above so you won't get anything less than heavy leather. I spent a couple of hours there and came away with 6 stacks of heavy and 1 stack of thick, plus a few hides and a few gold's worth of greys. There's also a few lower level snapjaws around too if you run out of things to kill - they tend to drop medium more often, but you'll get a nice amount of tender crocolisk meat for cooking or selling.

Enjoy, assuming you can get me to give up my spot. Heavy leather is doing great on the auction house at the moment. ;)

Comment by jfoobar

Despite my comment in this same thread back in 2012 recommending WPL, this time I didn't feel like going to EK so I relied upon the yeti caves in Feralas instead. Of the two, Feral Scar and Rage Scar, I definitely preferred Rage Scar as there are more yetis. Even at 80+, I could not outkill the respawn rate if I killed all the yetis inside and outside. Unlike in past expansions, yetis now drop cloth as well so you will mostly just get cash and silk cloth as well as a smaller amount of mageweave and not a lot of vendor crap to otherwise fill your bags. The mobs skin about 75% heavy and 25% thick. I did not get any thick hides at all but got a fair number of heavy hides, which are currently a really good money maker in the AH.

I will also add that, at least for horde, there is a leatherworking and skinning trainer in Feralas as well (Camp Mojache).
