Farming Crystal Infused Leather

Crystal Infused Leather sells for 10-20 gold a stack and is fairly easy to farm. The best place to farm it would be from the Bladespine Basilisk in Blade's Edge Mountains. The drop rate here is really high at 11%.

Another good spot for farming crystal infused leather is from the Quillfang Ravagers at Hellfire Peninsula. The drop rate here is about 2%. You can also expect some Fel Scales and the occassional green. The Fel Scales only sell for 1 gold a piece but are a handy ingredient for leather workers.

Where I do most of my skinning

Nagrand, one my favorite places in the World of Warcraft. Without a doubt Nagrand is one of the best places for high level skinners. The place is covered with all kinds of beasts. Truly a skinners dream come true. Some people are making upwards of 75 gold an hour by skinning like a mad man and completing the daily quests for Orgri'la and Sketties. There are three runs there that have produced a lot of gold for me. I've focused on skinning Nether Cobras and Clefthoof Bulls in this area and can now average 80 gold an hour. In one of my runs there is a treasure chest that produces blues and rarely an epic.

The Blade Edge Mountains are just as good a farming spot for skinners as Nagrand, if not better. One of the best things about wow gold farming at Blade Edge is the leather drop rate from beasts. It is surprisingly high compared to anywhere else in the Warcraft. The Lions at Blade Edge Mountains are known for having the highest drop rate of knothide leather. The Lions in this area are heavily farmed but you should still be able to make some gold. I can make about 65 gold an hour in this one triangular run I do there sometimes.

For skinners these two areas are probably the best in my opinion. They have the largest population of Beasts in the World of Warcraft. Bring a knife, some gloves, and an attitude and you can come up with some great wow gold farming techniques in these parts.

Gold farming in Shadowmoon Valley - Cobra Scales

Another good farming spot for skinners is at Coilskar Point in Shadowmoon Valley (53,24). There you will find the Coilskar Cobra. Cobra Scales are dropped from these snakes and are only found at this location. Most people only see and farm the 3-5 snakes outside the cave. Big mistake as there are actually 10-15 more inside. You can average 5-7 Cobra Scales an hour by going after the cobras inside the cave. The scales go for 20-60 gold depending on your server. Make sure you use this gold tip quick while people are still unaware of this!

Gold farming in Felwood - Leather

One of my favorite farming spots for skinners is just north of Bloodvenom Post in Felwood (37,43). There you will find 10-15 Angerclaw Mauler Bears that can be killed fairly quickly. The respawn rate is very fast which is why this is such a great farming spot. You make gold from the gray items and leather. You can make anywhere from 10-15 gold an hour here with the various stackable gray items. The real gold however comes from the rugged and thick leather skinned from the poor beasts. You can make anywhere from 20-30 gold an hour from the leather depending on your server. Cassandra's Grace can also be dropped from the bears occasionally. This can go for around 30 gold. People are making a ton of gold from farming these bears and it is getting more popular everyday. You better jump on this while you can.
