This is the first entry in my new blog. You'll probably be interested if you:
1) Play World of Warcraft online;
2) Are trying to level your Leatherworking skills.
Between levels 300 and 375, you're burning through a lot of Knothide leather. Here are some good sources:
- Blackwind Sabercats in Blackwind Valley (that's in the Skethyl Mountains near Terokkar Forest). At 73.5/71.7, there's a cave they hang out in. You can farm the valley, then the cave, over and over. When skinned, they drop Knothide with a 100% frequency. Start at the cave (73.5/71.7). Kill the cats outside the cave, then go towards 71.7/73.2, killing cats as you find them. There are 5 or 6 outside the cave. Run back towards the cave until you reach 73.3/73.0. Turn East and fly through the canyon towards 77.0/73.7. You can usually find a couple more (up to 3) while the ones you just killed respawn. Then it's back to the cave, and repeat. You'll have some rest time (you can kill a little faster than they can spawn), but the area is very productive.
- Nagrand at 54/46. Ignore the bison; concentrate on the antelope-looking mobs. I forget what they're called, but there are about 15 acres of mobs to farm there.
- Keep going back to the Masterwork Leather Trainer in Nagrand, and when you pick up patterns that require Fel Scales, switch to Shardhide Boars. They drop Fel Scales (about 50%) and produce Knothide when skinned at about 50% as well. They live on the Vortex Pinnacle, in Blades Edge Mountains. They're on the very top of a mountain at 31/72, on about five acres of flat ground. They respawn as quickly as you can kill them, but I noticed that after about an hour they start spawning more slowly. There are also Aether Rays there -- when skinned they produce knothide at about 95%.
- When you get patterns that don't require Fel Scales, switch back to the Blackwind Sabercats. Past level 350, I'm told you can get patterns that no longer require Knothide. I recommend that and will update this post when I experience this for myself.
Keep checking back.
