Savage Leather and Deepsea Scales, which are both very widely used mats for crafting Cataclysm's Leatherworking items. Well in Wetlands / Menethil Harbour, near the docks is several sharks named Harbor Shredfin of level 22 range which you can skin and apparently they have semi decent droprate while skinning for Savage Leather and Deepsea Scales.

Another even better spot if you bring along a skinner friend is in Eastern Plaguelands killing and skinning Landlocked Grouper. I went and tested out this spot with a friend, we noticed this spot has a forced spawn between the 2 sides of the bridge. So there is ALWAYS mobs to kill almost instantaneously.

As mentioned, this spot actually works a lot faster then the Menethil Harbour spot IF you have a skinner friend doing the other side of the bridge. You will Always have a mob in range to kill and few others to skin. Infact we were having problems managing to actually skin all the mobs we killed.

Other notable mobs that can be skinned for Savage Leather are:

Wetlands [Skinning Skill required: 105 - 115]

Harbor Shredfin

Ocean Shredfin

Thousand Needles [Skinning Skill required: 200 - 215]

Easy Jormungar Scales Farming

Wednesday, November 19, 2008, posted by WoW Fan at 10:07 AM

This is a very simple way of farming Jormungar Scales without putting too much effort into it. The scales are used for Jormungar Leg Armor. Crafting the leg enchant is an easy and cheap way to raise your leatherworking skill.

The Trick

You would want to pick up the quest "Hard to Swallow". This allows you to throw dynamite into the mouth of the worms.

Step-by-step guide

* Grab the quest and head over to the elite Hulking Jormungar spawns.

* Nuke the mob down to ~75% and throw the dynamite when the mob beings to falter.

* Wait for it to explode and skin it.

* Rinse and repeat.

Farming them is very easy and there is more than enough mobs to go by.

Leatherworking 300-375 Powerleveling

Sunday, April 1, 2007, posted by WoW Fan at 11:40 AM

301-310
Knothide Leather (5 x Knothide Leather Scraps) x 20 = 100 x Knothide Leather Scraps
N.B. make as many as it takes to get to 310. Your going to need around 725 Knothide leather, so you may as well get the skill up points for this.

311-320
Thick Draenic Gloves (6 x Knothide Leather, 2 x Rune Thread) x 10

321-325
Scaled Draenic Gloves (8 x Knothide Leather, 1 x Fel Scales, 2 x Rune Thread) x 5

326-335
Heavy Knothide Leather (5 x Knothide Leather) x 90

336-340
Thick Draenic Boots (10 x Knothide Leather, 3 x Rune Thread) x 5

341-350
Scaled Draenic Boots (12 x Knothide Leather, 2 x Fel Scales, 3 x Rune Thread) x 10

N.B. as is common with all the professions now, getting from 350 to 375 is a huge pain. Trainers don't teach anything worthwhile, so the only way to do it, is via random world drop patterns or rep rewards. I'll use rep reward patterns in this guide.

351-365
For those with Scryers rep - Honoured:
Enchanted Felscale Gloves or Boots (4 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 10 x Fel Scales, 6 x Primal Mana) x 15

For those with The Consortium rep - Honored
Fel Leather Boots (10 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 8 x Fel Hide, 8 x Primal Shadow, 3 x Rune Thread) x 15

N.B. these last 10 points are going to cost you a LOT! (as if the last 15 didn't cost enough!) The materials required are fairly insane and so is the rep requirement, but at the moment I don't see a better way of leveling up.

365-370
You need to be Friendly with Cenarion Expedition for the next part:
Heavy Clefthoof Boots (4 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 20 x Thick Clefthoof Leather¹, 4 x Primal Earth, 2 x Rune Thread) x 5

Alternatively, if your Exalted with Thrallmar or Honor Hold for the next part.
Nethercobra Leg Armor (4 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 4 x Cobra Scales, 8 x Primal Air, 1 x Primal Nether) x 5

Alternatively, if your exalted with The Sha'tar:
Drums of Battle (2 Heavy Knothide Leather, 1 x Primal Fire, 1 Primal Earth) x 5

Thick Clefthoof Leather is easier to obtain than Cobra Scales, so I would recommend you try to get CE friendly rep.

N.B. any of the above three could take you to 375, but the material requirement makes for a LOT of farming, as those last 5 points can mean making another 20-30 items.

371-375
Your either going to have to make random world drop epics here with lots of insane material requirements OR go and get exalted with Keepers of Time. Seeing as the epics are random world drop patterns, I'll go with Keepers of Time rep rewards. You'll need to be level 66 to start your Keepers of Time rep and spend a LOT of time in The Caverns of Time.

Drums of Panic (2 x Heavy Knothide Leather, 2 x Primal Shadow) x 5

Approximate Materials Required

With Scryers Rep
100 x Knothide Leather Scraps
725 x Knothide Leather (+30 if you went CE rep)
75 x Rune Thread (+10 if you went CE rep)
175 x Fel Scales
90 x Primal Mana
20 x Cobra Scales (if your Thrallmar or Honor Hold exalted) or 100 x Thick Clefthoof Leather (if you went with CE rep)
40 x Primal Air (if your Thrallmar or Honor Hold exalted) or 20 x Primal Earth (if you went with CE rep)
5 x Primal Nether (Don't need these if you go with CE or Sha'tar rep)
10 x Primal Shadow

N.B. if you went with Sha'tar rep at 365, then you'll need 10 less Heavy Knothide Leather, 40 less Primal Air, 5 Primal Earth and 5 less Primal Nether. Gets complicated, don't it?

With The Consortium Rep
100 x Knothide Leather Scraps
1175 x Knothide Leather (+30 if you went CE rep)
120 x Fel Hide
120 x Rune Thread (+10 if you went CE rep)
25 x Fel Scales
20 x Cobra Scales (if your Thrallmar or Honor Hold exalted) or 100 x Thick Clefthoof Leather (if you went with CE rep)
40 x Primal Air (if your Thrallmar or Honor Hold exalted) or 20 x Primal Earth (if you went with CE rep)
5 x Primal Nether (Don't need these if you go with CE or Sha'tar rep)
130 x Primal Shadow
N.B. if you went with Sha'tar rep at 365, then you'll need 10 less Heavy Knothide Leather, 40 less Primal Air, 5 Primal Earth and 5 less Primal Nether.
