Eternal Farming guide

The word farming often conjures up images in players minds of someone sitting for hours trying to grind out on mobs in one spot in order to make a few gold. Others think of mass numbers of people sitting at computers for 12 hours at a time grinding on mobs for 25 cents an hour. Whatever image farming brings to your mind, discard it. I've included some of the most popular items to farm right now and the best places to get these items so that you don't need to spend hours getting the items you need or items you want to sell.

Farming Eternals
Eternals are the bread and butter of level 80 crafting professions. They sell at high volume on the Auction House because they are needed for dozens of high-end items. Fire, Air and Water can be farmed by Engineers (see Engineering). In this section I'm going to share the areas I use to farm Crystallized Earth, Shadow, Air, Water, Earth & Life along with which mobs, their level and the drop rate.

There are several places to farm each Eternal, even places that are ideal for low to mid level 70s. However, the best place to farm Eternal for overall profit is Wintergrasp but only when your faction has control of it. Shadow, Earth, Water, Air and Life can all be farmed in the central and western regions in a big loop as drawn below. Follow the solid red arrow around collecting Water, Earth, Water, Shadow, Life and then Air. If one section is too busy with other farmers you can move on to the next. After doing the loop a few times I'll head over and farm some Fire as well (dotted red arrows):




To avoid having to deal with tons of Crystallized Eternals in your inventory, copy this macro and use it to combine when your inventory starts to get full.

Eternal Fire
Eternal Fires can be farmed by killing mobs or Engineers can use a Zapthrottle Mote Extractor.

Wintergrasp
In Wintergrasp Flame Revenants and Raging Flames can be found on the plateau on the east side. However, you can only see and kill the Revenants when your faction controls Wintergrasp, so there's little use farming here if that's not the case. Otherwise, this is the best place to farm Eternal Fires. Always race for the Flame Revenants because they have a 100% chance to drop Crystallized Fire while the Raging Flames only have a 25%chance to drop them.



Storm Peaks
The Storm Peaks is a great place to farm Eternal Fires because they will also drop valuable Relics of Ulduar. It would be the best place if there weren't so many people doing Sons of Hodir quests. You will need to have completed the Sons of Hodir before the elites in the area turn friendly. The Seething Revenants drop Crystallized Fire 25% of the time.

The Wailing Winds are inside the cave to the north west of the Seething Revenants and have a 25% drop rate.



Borean Tundra (recommended lvl 70-75)
The Raging Boilers in southwest of Bor'Goror Outpost have a 20% chance to drop Crystallized Fire. This is a great place for level 70-75 characters who want to make some gold or need Eternal Fires.



Eternal Water
Eternal Water can be farmed by Engineers with a mote extractor, see the Engineering section for details. Eternal Water can also be fished (as Crystallized Water), but this is not an effective way to farm them (see the farming section for more details). The best places to kill mobs and loot Crystallized Waters are outlined below.

Wintergrasp
Wintergrasp is the best place to farm Eternal Waters at level 80. If your faction controls the zone. Otherwise, you will not be able to see or kill the Water Revenants which have a 100% chance to drop Crystallized Water. The Glacial Spirits have a 25% drop rate. Follow the edges of the lakes pulling the mobs out to the surface to fight them.



Storm Peaks
Inside and outside of this cave there are Icebound Revenants which have 25% chance to drop Crystallized Water.



Sholazar Basin
The Aqueous Spirits on the west side of the zone (accessible only with a flying mount) have a 25% drop rate.



Zul'Drak (lvl 76-80)
Zul'Drak is a surprisingly good place to farm Eternal Waters. The Frozen Earths are only level 76 and 77 so they can be farmed earlier than 80, they have a 25% drop rate. The Crazed Water Spirits also drop 25% of the time, they also are low level and are in high abundance. This is a great place to farm Eternal Waters and level your mid 70s characters.



Howling Fjord (lvl 70+)
The Ice Elementals south of Fort Wildervar have a 20% drop rate and are only level 68-69. This is a good place to level and make gold.



Dragonblight (lvl 74+)
In Dragonblight there are two mid level places to farm Eternal Water. In the south east and near the north border. These both have a 15-20% chance to drop Crystallized Water.



Borean Tundra (lvl 70+)
There are a ton of Frozen Elementals off the south eastern coast of Borean Tundra. They have an 18% chance to drop Crystallized Water and can be farmed at level 70.



Eternal Shadow
Eternal Shadows are tough to farm unless you're a Miner (in which case you'll have a lot of extra). They are best found in Wintergrasp when your faction has control of it otherwise in north eastern Dragonblight.

Wintergrasp
Wintergrasp is the best place to farm Eternal Shadows, however your faction needs to have control of Wintergrasp or you won't be able to see or kill the Shadow Revenants (100% drop rate). The Wandering Shadows should always be visible and have a 25% drop rate.



Dragonblight (lvl 72-80)
This is the only other place to farm Eternal Shadows. The cave in the north east has Deathbringer Revenants with an 18% chance to drop Crystallized Shadow. These can be farmed as early as level 72.



Eternal Air
Eternal Air are best found in southern Wintergrasp or north eastern Storm Peaks.

Wintergrasp
Eternal Airs are best farmed in Wintergrasp, but only when your faction controls the zone. Otherwise, you will be unable to see or kill the Tempest Revenants which have a 100% chance to drop Crystallized Air. The Whispering Wind have a 25% chance to drop them.



The Storm Peaks
Scion of the Storm are the second best place to farm Eternal Air. They also drop Relics of Ulduar which are worth bling on the Auction House. The Scions have a 25% chance drop rate of Crystallized Air. Enter from the north on your flying mount.



Sholazar Basin
The Storm Revenants on the western plateau have a 25% chance to drop Crystallized Air.



Grizzly Hills (lvl 76+)
This is a fun place to farm Eternal Airs. The scattered Lightning Sentries have a 19% drop rate of Crystallized Air. This is a great place to level and farm at the same time.



Borean Tundra (lvl 70+)
This is another great place to level and farm Eternal Airs at the same time. The Storm Ragers in the east have an 18% drop rate and the Enraged Tempests have an 18% chance drop rate.



Eternal Earth
Miners end up with a ton of extra Eternal Earths which drives down the prices. Otherwise, they can be found in central Wintergrasp when your faction controls it or eastern Storm Peaks.

Wintergrasp
If your faction controls Wintergrasp this is the best place to farm Eternal Earths. When your faction doesn't control it you won't be able to see or kill the Earthbound Revenants (100% drop). You will always be able to see and kill the Chilled Earth Elementals (25% drop).




Storm Peaks
Brittle Revenants are the second best mobs to farm Elemental Earth, since you can also farm Elemental Fire and Relics of Ulduar all at once. These may not be available if you haven't completed the Sons of Hodir quest chain.



Sholazar Basin (lvl 76+)
The Lifeblood Elementals in Sholazar Basin have a 25% drop rate and are in high abundance. These are good for level 76-80 characters to level and make gold.



Grizzly Hills (lvl 76+)
This is another great spot for level 76-80s to level and farm gold. You can farm elemental Air and Elemental Earth at the same time. The Runic War Golems drop crystallized Earth 18% of the time.



Eternal Life
Herbalists get a lot of Eternal Life from herbing and this extra supply drives prices down. They are best farmed in south western Wintergrasp when your faction controls it or in central Zul'Drak.

Wintergrasp
The Living Lashers are available in Wintergrasp regardless of whether your faction controls the zone or not. They have a 25% drop rate and are an excellent place to farm Eternal Life.



Zul'Drak (lvl 76+)
The Mossy Rampagers in Zul'Drak are easy to kill and sport a high drop rate of 25% considering their mid 70s level. This is a great place for mid level 70 characters to farm Eternal Life while gaining experience.



Dragonblight (lvl 71+)
The Woodland Walkers in Dragonblight are another good place for level 71+ characters to farm Eternal Life and gain experience, they have an 18% drop rate.



Howling Fjord (lvl 70+)
This is a really good place to farm Eternal Life. The Thornvine Creepers have an 18% drop rate, spawn very fast and are really easy to kill since they are only level 69-70.



That's it. Now go make a fortune farming eternals.

Make Gold on BC pets

Mana Wyrmling - Item - World of Warcraft


This pet is purchased from Dealer Rashaad - NPC - World of Warcraft In Stormspire, Netherstorm.

The purchase price of the pet is 40g, and I usually sell them on the AH for 100-150g each. I know this is dependent on your current server economy and such, but it is a good side job for that extra cash.


Red Moth Egg - Item - World of Warcraft

Blue Dragonhawk Hatchling - Item - World of Warcraft

Both of these are purchased from the same vendor for 10g each. I am usually able to resell for 50-100g in the AH.


I buy 15-20 of each at a time and keep one to two in the AH at all times. It sometimes takes a day or 2 to sell it, but they always sell.


Hope this Helps!

Under ICC, invulnerable to fall damage (

Basically, mount up and jump off the gunship after you win the gunship battle. You need to dismount right after jumping off and get slowfalled so you successfully pass over all of the invisible killer walls. Run into an invisible kill wall and die, then have the rezer stand as close as possible to the kill wall and rez you. You will bug out and become invulnerable to both kill walls and fall damage.

THERE IS NOTHING INTERESTING UNDER ICC AS FAR AS I CAN TELL.

Pull ANYTHING from ANYWHERE [DK

So after doing some tests in World of Warcraft myself on chains of ice in it's buggy state, I found out a weird bug that can be exploited for awesome things like boss pulls.

There are only little requirements, namely;

• You are able to set up a focus target.
• You are able to cast chains of ice on a focus target.
• You are specced into Endless Winter.

Once you got all these, simply put focus target anything attackable that is near you, and in the main target window you get the target which you want to pull (with /target )
Cast chains of ice on your focus target (/cast [target=focus] Chains of Ice) and Frost Fever will be applied on your main target while you are casting on your focus target.

This works from ANY range :] check out below:

Heroic Training dummy in my main target, other one in my focus




Showing the endless winter talent




Casting chains of ice on the focus dummy, applying frost fever to the main target dummy (Watch the chains of ice animation on the focus dummy)



And finally, targeting a dummy that is far out of range, and not even in line of sight getting Frost Fever from me casting chains of ice on the focus target.




This can be used on ANY mob as long as your able to target him, and there is anything attackable nearby (A critter, anything works !)

Hope you guys can pull of some funny ninjapull with this ;D

First Aid Powerleveling guide

First Aid is a secondary skill in World of Warcraft that can help reduce your downtime by providing instance healing bandages from cloth. If you are vendoring cloth, you can increase its value by making it into bandages first and you can usually sell bandages to other players for a solid profit. You will need the First Aid books that are provided by vendors throughout the game to learn all of the skills. You can find these books in the following locations.

Basic Information
Use the following information as a basis for your decision whether to choose First Aid as a secondary profession. Generally, First Aid is not considered a solid gold making profession, as it is used to support your own healing. The only real way it is helpful in gold making is if you do not feel like going to the Auction House to sell your cloth; you can then upgrade cloths to bandages and make a better profit from Vendors.

Leveling Up First Aid from 1 - 450

Leveling up First Aid is a fairly straightforward process. After training as a First Aid Apprentice, take note of the materials you will need. If you are going to be training when you are already leveled up or if you have some gold, buy these items before hand from the Auction house and have them on hand. Also, keep in mind these are minimum values; occasionally, the numbers don’t work out quite the same, so you will need to buy a few more. Be aware when this happens.

• 120 – Linen Cloth
• 105 – Wool Cloth
• 90 – Silk Cloth
• 70 – Mageweave Cloth
• 110 – Runecloth
• 60 – Netherweave Cloth
• 250 – Frostweave Cloth

Level 1 - 75

To start, create linen bandages until you reach Level 40. When you have reached Level 40, train with your skill trainer to make Heavey Linen Bandages and continue making Heavy Linen Bandages until you reach Level 75. You should be able to level up with each bandage you make if you switch over at Level 40 exactly.

Level 75 - 100

Train your Journeyman First Aid skill at Level 75 and then proceed to make Heavy Linen Bandages until you reach Level 80. From here, learn how to make Wool Bandages and start making Wool Bandages until you reach Level 115. Level up your abilities again to learn how to make Heavy Wool Bandages and make these until you are skill Level 150. This should take you through all of your remaining linen and cloth bandages.

Level 150 - 225

Before you continue, stop and buy the following manuals:

• Expert First Aid: Under Wraps
• Manual: Heavy Silk Bandage
• Manual: Mageweave Bandage

You can find the Expert First Aid Manual with your Expert trainer and the other two manuals with the following vendors:

• Horde – Balai Lok’Wein – Brackenwall Village in Dustwallow Marsh
• Alliance – Deneb Walker – Stromgarde Keep in Arathi Highlands

After getting all of the necessary abilities you need, start making Silk Bandages until you reach skill Level 180. From here, make Heavy Silk Bandages until you reach skill Level 210 and then proceed to make Mageweave Bandages until you reach skill Level 225. You will need to read the manuals and learn the skills when you reach the associated skill Level for that particular manual.

Level 225 - 300

To become Artisan in First Aid, you must complete a quest. For the quest, you will need to have at least 80 Mageweave Cloth and 75 Runecloth on you. Here are the steps for the quest you need to complete:

Horde – Talk to Arnok in Ogrimmar. Then Talk to Doctor Gregory Victor in Hammerfall and accept Triage

Alliance – Talk to Nissa Firestone in Ironforge. Then Talk to Doctor Gustaf VanHowzen in Theramore and accept Triage.

To complete the quest, heal the solders with the bandages given to you by the doctor. Make sure to heal them in the order of Critically Injured, Badly Injured, and then Injured. Do it very quickly and make sure you can target all of them at once. It might take a couple of run throughs to make things work properly, but when you get it, it should be pretty easy. Now, stay in these cities for now as you will want to be here until you are Level 290 in First Aid ( you need the skill trainer again).

Make Mageweave Bandages until you reach skill Level 240, then learn how to make Heavy Mageweave Bandages from the Doctor and make these until you are skill Level 260. Learn how to make Runecloth Bandages from the Doctor and make these until you are skill Level 290. Finally, learn how to make Heavy Runecloth Bandages from the Doctor and level up until you are skill Level 300.

Level 300 - 375

You will need to buy the following books to learn your First Aid skills in Outland:

• Master First Aid: Doctor in the House
• Manual: Netherweave Bandage
• Manual: Heavy Netherweave Bandage

You can buy your manuals from:

• Horde – Arasella in Falcon Watch
• Alliance – Burko in Temple of Telhamat

Read the Master First Aid manual and start making Heavy Runecloth Bandages until you reach skill Level 330.

Now, read the Netherweave Bandage Manual and level up your skill to 360 with these. Finally, read the Heavy Netherweave Bandage Manual and make these until you reach skill Level 375. You should now be completely leveled up as quickly as possible in First Aid.

Level 375 – 450

After training as a Grand master, learn how to make Frostweave Bandage and start making them until you get to level 400. Now, you will need to go and find the Manual:Heavy Frostweave Bandage. This is going to be a random drop off of mobs in Zul’Drak. You can find a good drop rate around 33,80 or if you really need it, you can pony up for it at the Auction House. After you have learned this, make heavy frostweave bandages until you reach level 450.

How to AVOID getting the Dungeon Deserter Debuff and farm instances effectively!

Going through an instance and just not making any progress? Hate your group? Guildies want to run something else and you're tied up in a dungeon run? Blizzard implemented a Dungeon Deserter debuff to prevent you from just bailing out on your group - a hefty 15 minute debuff that prevents you from joining up in another instance, making so if you do join another group and they're looking for more people, they won't be able to use the LFG tool until it wears off of you.

However, there is a simple work around this. You see, you cannot recieve the Dungeon Deserter debuff when you are dead! Simply die, then right click your portrait and leave the group and wait a second. You should get a message that says "You cannot do that while dead". Once you get that then you're free to release and free of any nasty15 minute deserter debuff.

Cheese the Lich King gauntlet in Halls of Reflection

I've found a really easy way to kind of cheese the HoR gauntlet.

When you start the Lich King event in your party, get everyone to stand on this spot:



And just let the Lich King and Sylvanas run past you.

The Lich King won't go back to kill you with Remorseless Winter, instead he will still go for Sylvanas, but all the trash mobs jumps to where the party is. With this method they will jump to behind where the LK is.

This makes the gauntlet really easy simply because you can gather every mob on the same spot once they spawn, and you don't need to wait till they get to you. I tank as a DK (if it isn't glaringly obvious by the screenshot :P), so a single Death and Decay holds aggro of them all.

At the end you can simply run past the Lich King (since he will lose his Remorseless Winter buff), and the call is simply a graphical wall, you can run through it.

I hope you enjoy this. This instance can be really annoying for tanks.

screenshot of the exploit working, did a normal on my DPS DK. No cloak though:

Voidwalker Sacrafice Exploit

Minor exploit but can be used to advantage. As most of you know, the Voidwalker sacrifice doesn't sacrifice the Voidwalker itself anymore just a portion of the health. Well I found a bug that you can use the Sacrifice spell WITHOUT the Voidwalker losing his/her health.

Steps:

1. Summon Voidwalker
2. Mount up (Your Voidwalker should dissapear.)
3. Dismount (Your Voidwalker should spawn afterwards, but you will notice his health is about half what it should be. In a second or two it will go back to 100%.)
4. Quickly cast Sacrifice before his health goes back up.
5. Your Voidwalker's health now returns to 100% AND you have the Sacrifice buff!
6. ??? (I filled this in with AoE farming.)
7. Profit!

How to Make Gold with Skinning

There are a few different ways to make money skinning. There are rare mobs that can be skinned to drop rare items, there are common mobs that can be skinned to drop rare fur, and there are regular mobs to skin that can drop leather for you. The most consistent way to make money is through common leather, but this can be done while looking for these jackpots.

Skinning Component	Recommended Player Level to Farm
Loque'Nahak's Pelt	76+
Arctic Fur	68+
Cobra Scales	65+
Nerubian Chitin	68+
Icy Dragonscale	75+
Rugged Leather	50+
Jormungar Scale	70+
Borean Leather	68+
Knothide Leather	58+

Loque'Nahak
Loque'Nahak is a rare spawning beast in Sholazar Basin that is supposed to spawn every 8-10 hours, but because he is the only spirit beast in the game he is heavily camped by Hunters. Nonetheless, I will show you the points where he spawns in case you are farming leather out in Sholazar Basin or are passing through you can stop and skin this guy he drops a rare pelt when skinned and it has a random enchant. Depending on which enchant you get, it should sell well on the Auction House.

Arctic Fur
Arctic Fur is currently the new hottest reagent that comes from skinning in Wrath of the Lich King. Unfortunately it is rare, the best recorded drop rate is 2%. It has a chance to drop off of almost every beast in Northrend, but a consistent pattern seems to be the higher level the mob the better chance for it to drop and if it's an elite mob, even better. Here are two recommended farming spots for Arctic Fur. Arctic Fur remains valuable as it is an ingredient in most of the high end recipes including the new craftable gear in Patch 3.3.

Scion of Quetz'lun - Zul'Drak
These are level 76-77 elite mobs but they currently have the highest drop rate for Arctic Fur and they also can drop 1-3 Borean Leather which is a good consistent source of regular leather.


Plagued Proto-Dragon
There are other mobs that have a higher drop rate than these guys but they were instances so I choose to pick this mob instead. The good news is, it can be done by a player around level 70 andit's in Howling Fjord. The reported drop rate of Arctic Furs is 1.7%.



Cobra Scales
This component is farmed in Outland, more specifically, the best spot to farm this item is in Shadowmoon Valley off of Shadow Serpents. It is still one of the highest profitable reagents due to no one farming them anymore and their demand for twinks. They commonly sell between 5-30g, but be careful not to over farm them, the demand is less for these than it used to be. It is used to make two leg enchants, one can be placed on level 50+ players and the other 60+. Check your Auction House before farming these to make sure it is not flooded.



Nerubian Chitin
These skinning component only can be skinned from the Nerubian NPCs that are commonly found inside and around the instances of Azjol-Nerub and Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom. If you are a level 80 one option you have is soloing these instances on regular to get Nerubian Chitin, otherwise you will have to find a group or farm mobs that have less common drop rates. There are two other main spots to do this if you don't kill the mobs outside of Azjol-Nerub.

Forgotten Depths NPCs - Icecrown

There are a few NPCs that can drop Nerubian Chitin that spawn in this area. They start with thename Forgotten Depths and are bug looking creatures. They spawn all around these two temples. You will want to be 75+ to do this area maybe even 77+.



Hath'ar Skimmer - Zul'Drak
There are a bunch of Hath'ar Skimmers around Kolramas just waiting for you to come kill and skin them. So why keep them waiting? You will want to be at least level 72+ to do this area.



Nerub'ar NPCs - Borean Tundra
These NPCs spawn around Warsong Hold, you can do it as alliance but be careful not to get too close to the guards. There are all kinds of bug looking Nerub'ar NPCs around the hold that spawn and also a Flamespitter that can drop Nerubian Chitin. I'd draw you a map but they are easy to find since they sit right outside a major Horde City.

Icy Dragonscale
These are mostly found on dragonkin inside of Violet Hold, in fact, I usually try to do a Heroic Violet hold at least once a day just so I can skin the dragons inside. If I'm the only skinner I'll leave with a few stacks of Borean Leather and a good amount of Icy Dragonscales. You can also go into Regular Violet hold and accomplish a similar feat.

Drakes - Sholazar Basin
In the northern part of Sholazar Basin there are drakes flying in the air and also on ground. You can kill and skin these and you can also break hatchlings out of the eggs here to kill and skin. This will net you with a decent amount of Icy Dragonscales because this area has one of the higher drop rates in game. You'll want to be 75+ for this area.



Scalebanes - Crystalsong Forest
There are a lot of dragonkin out in this area of Crystalsong Forest that have a really good drop rate. Use whichever of the two areas you prefer. You'll want to be 76+ for this area.



Rugged Leather
As with all gathering professions, old world regular components are worth more than some of the new ones. The reason for this is simple, everyone wants to power level their professions but do not want to go farm the components themselves. Since less people are doing the farming, they get paid higher for each item, thus making Rugged Leather the most profitable leather to farm.

Plaguehounds, etc. - Eastern Plaguelands
The best spot to farm Rugged Leather is in Eastern Plaguelands, hands down, yeah there are close seconds, but there are so many beasts here that have high drop rates that you can just run around randomly in this zone and get piles of Rugged Leather. Fortunately, I'm going to give you a boundary area that you should try to stick to while running around where the beasts are higher level. I recommend being 54+ for this area.



Cats & Yeti - Winterspring
This is probably the second best zone in the game to come to for skinning for drop rate on Rugged Leather. You can go to either location in case one or the other is farmed, they are near identical. You will want to be 55+ for this area.



Other Locations for Rugged leather

Un'Goro Crater - Entire western part of zone has higher drop rate than eastern

Zul'Gurub - if you're able to handle this old world raid instance there are plenty of beasts in here with high drop rates.

Jormungar Scale
There are two major locations to get Jormungar Scales from, The Storm Peaks and Dragonblight. If you don't know what a Jormungar is, it's one of those ugly looking big worms that tries to eat you. These are good to kill and skin because they drop Worm Meat as well which can be used for cooking.

Jormungars - The Storm Peaks
Jormungars are all over this zone, so I'll highlight the areas on the map the different Jormungars can be found. They are all basically equal drop rates, about 25%, so where you go is up to you. You should be 76+ for this part because the NPCs will be around level 80.



Jormungars - Dragonblight
The drop rate on these is about 15% but the advantage is you can do them at level 70 or so, which is a great for people needing gold and just starting in Northrend.



Borean Leather
Borean Leather is the new leather that was introduced with Wrath of the Lich King and is in high demand but is also in high supply. There is always at least a page in my Auction House of this stuff, but you can still sell it decently fast if you keep your prices low. The advantage to farming Borean Leather is you can farm a number of other things off of mobs anywhere in Northrend where those beasts or skinnable mobs to get it. You only have to be 68+ to collect Borean Leather efficiently, the higher the level you are the faster you'll collect it. You can get a lot of this stuff out of instances like Violet Hold, Gundrak, and Zul'Drak also, in case you're looking to do an instance.

Skinnable Mobs - Zul'drak
There are so many mobs you can farm in this zone for Borean Leather. The ones in this map have some of the highest drop rate in the game, near 100% when averaged out.



Skinnable Mobs - Sholazar Basin
There are very few things that cannot be skinned in Sholazar, you can basically walk around drunk with a skinning knife and if you manage to kill something it's probably skinnable. But I highlighted the areas that have near 100% drop rate anyway. I recommend you be level 74+ to do this area. The mammoths to the north have a 100% chance to drop Chunk o' Mammoth, which is among the most valuable meats in Wrath of the Lich King.



Knothide Leather
People still need Knothide Leather from the Burning Crusade to level from 300-350
Leatherworking or for other miscellaneous things. While the demand may not be as high as Borean Leather there is still a demand and it almost commands the same price as Borean Leather. This is the least important skinning item to gather so I'm just going to give you ONE GOOD MAP! Just for your information, if you are level 80 or so you will want to just go ahead and start a regular instance of Black Morass and kill and farm the mobs there and then reset when you are done, it's the best place to farm Borean Leather. You may be able to just do it in the high 60s effectively since most of the stuff is non-elite anyways.
