Bah. On our server the leather market is dead, dead, dead. Herbs and Ore seem to be where the money is made :/

Sounds like tHe area where I farm mammOth meat for mega mammoth meal. SaDly, I don’t skin, but usually someone will fly past and end up swoopIng in and making a killing on all the leatheR laying around.

I timed myself for approx 30 mins in the cave alone today. here’s the list of spoils…

- 3 green items for DE or vendor
- 4 arctic fur (luck, I realize, but getting at least two each hour is not bad at all)
- 215 borean leather (35 heavy borean)
- 81 worg haunch
- 27 worm meat
- 3 jormungar scales
- vendor trash totaling ~57G

I’ve been to this nerubian chitin place, it pales in comparison to a gorilla and this cave. all mobs are skinnable, whereas the nerubian area is not, they are also on slower spawn times, and are more spread out. Simply put, I can’t imagine how anything else is more efficient for leather or gold farming (depending on whether or not you’re using the mats or selling them) than any other spot, period.

It’s got to be this place, has to be.

For those that are farming the Nerubian Chitins in South East end of Ice Crown and you are a hunter. Turn on your tracking to tracking undead.

The spiders and NPC’s that are cocooned / webbed is very easy to tell apart. if you see a red dot in your mini map where the webbed NPC is then it’s a spider. Send pet in to set it up and then kill it.

When your BoM buff ends or need a quick/cheap heal kill one of the webbed mobs that are NPC’s. (not showing up on you mini map when tracking undead)

I have found that only the undead spiders are skinable (3 kinds of spiders there, 2 undead).

That the webbed spiders have a bit better drop rate of the Chitins. The second best drop rate are the spiders that run down from the hills towards the camp.

anybody else notice that one spider always runs face down (under ground plane) he has a great drop rate around 75%

Happy hunting/farming

Its NOT the BRK Paradise but try the Scions of Quetz’Lun in ZD … they average 2 Borean Leather per kill and are also ideal for fast pet leveling.

I’m pretty sure I know the BRK site and it is, indeed, Paradise

The spiders just northwest of the Argent Vanguard in Icecrown are better by far than that /other/ place people keep trying to hint around, but like every other skinner I know, I went there to get nerubian chitin and after thirty minutes of slaughtering the place did the quests they had there. I suspect the Argents there are now mocking me, not cheering me.

GMs react oddly when you ask them if there’s any way you can retroactively fail an entire chain so you can never, ever do it again.

I know where it is. I’m not telling, either.

Probably not a paradise, but more like a weekend get away. Bloodmoon Isle in Grizzly Hills has a ton of worgen walking around…skinnable humanoids…creepy…
