Hey there, guys.
This is Reckles with WTBGold and a couple years ago I came out with a guide on how to
farm knothide leather, but as the channels grows and evolves, I want to keep striving
to make my guides more useful, funtional, exciting.
Also, the method in that video got nerfed.
I’m getting used to that.
So without further ado, the new and improved “how to farm knothide leather.”
Today we’re goign to be looking at 3 different of the best spots for farming Knothide Leather:
Wow-Professions.com recommends the first one and the other two are my personal favorites.
And we got some interesting results, a good gold farm isn’t always just gph.
So, Wow-professions.com recommends going to old Karazhan and killing the bats in the servants
quarters.
It’s right next to the entrance so you run in, hang a right, and kill all the bats and
hounds.
You can’t skin spiders.
To do it again, head back out and reset the instance.
Each lap gave us 61 knothide leather and only took 3 to 3 and a half minutes.
Oh and you’ll also get 2 or 3 fel hide.
So while I guess you could say this is technically 1200 knothide leather per hour, but that’s
cheating so it’s really 600 leather in 30 minutes.
Next we’re heading to the spot from my original video, Black Morass.
This was the first video where I put a map overlay and I only had MSPaint and fraps so
it was super difficult.
[original clip] Omg, I was so boring, why did y’all subscribe?
That wasn’t good.
The point of the guide and the route is the same though.
Run around and pick up all the crocolisks and invisikitties in one fell swoop, AoE them
down and then skin them before they despawn.
Well, as we talked about in the last video, this has been nerfed.
Looted bodies despawn after 2 minutes now rather than 5.
So the guides the same, but you need to stop and AoE every 40 enemies.
There’s an optimized variation in my despawn mechanics video.
But we got 70 or 80 leather each 8 minute run.
Finally, we’re testing out something recommended by a subscriber GVegas223... cause GVegas222
was been taken.
He said to go to Tempest Keep and farm the dragonhawks in the Pheonix Hall next to Al’ar.
As long as you don’t kill the boss, you can run out and reset.
I initially brushed off the idea because there’s only like 12 skinnable mobs there, an average
of 20 leather per run.
There’s over 100 mobs in black morass.
But, it only takes 30 second to get to em, a minute to kill and skin, and 30 seconds
to leave.
Plus the 4 birds on the top ledge can be rounded up and skinnined in another 60 seconds and
they’ll give you 4 leather each.
So this one is pretty good.
It’s 240 leather in 20 minutes, or 350 leather in 30.
Plus I got 28 transmog pieces.
Most of em were crap, BC doesn’t have very good transmog, so I vendored them, but I did
get 2 pieces of conquest gear and a nice pattern so I’m not complaining.
So, which wins?
Well actually they all do.
If you want to commit a couple hours to farming thousands and thousands of knothide leather,
go to black morass.
It’s fun and different every run, and you won’t hit instance cap so you can just farm
indefinitely.
If you just need a few for a particular craft, go to Tempest Keep, and you’ll get some
bonus transmog.
But WoW professions knocked the strict leather per hour out of the park with Karazhan.
That’s all guys.
