After items made from light skin no longer add profession skill points, it is time to collect the next source material - hard skin. She can be found by skinning many animals, as well as by opening various chests, where the chance of her attack is not very high.
Hard skin: the main places of extraction through skinning
It’s already possible to start shooting it from level 15 of the NPC, which means that the skill level in the Skinning skill should be higher than 75. For races such as tauren, orcs and trolls, the Northern Steppes location is a good place for prey.
Here live such animals as the mysterious lizard, catcher and others. All of them are found near the cave of "Wailing Caves." By the way, tough skin can be detected in it, and in larger quantities. However, collecting it from animals of level 15-16 is not very practical, since the chance of lunging is only 25-35 percent, in all other cases light skin falls out.
The ideal level of NPCs, with which it is more likely that hard skin falls out, is 22-33. A good option for players of the Horde and the Alliance can serve as a trip to the location “Northern Stranglethorn Valley” and “Cape of Stranglethorn”, where there are a lot of species of animals from which it is removed hard skin. The Second World War also has other locations where NPCs of the same level are located. These are the "Hillsbrad Foothills", "Ashenvale", "Swamps", "Stonetalon Mountains", "Arathi Highlands" and others.
It is worth paying attention to the location of the "Hillsbrad Foothills". Near the Tarren mill there is a cave, in which there are cave and fierce yeti of 22-23 levels. It is noteworthy that they rise quickly, there are many of them, and until they are raised, you can remove the skin from the lions and horses that run next to the cave.
There is another wonderful WOW location, the hard skin in which is also easily extracted - this is the Southern Steppes. Passing a little south of the “Hunter's Hill”, you can meet the “Meadow Strakhokusov” - raptors of 29-30 level. There are also a lot of them and they quickly resurrect, in addition, not only tough skin falls from them, but also heavy, which will be useful in the future to increase skills in leatherworking.
Hard skin: other options for extraction
Many who have just embarked on a journey through the Warcraft universe are faced with the problem of detecting tough skin. After all, it is needed not only by tanners, but also by players with professions such as blacksmithing, engineering and tailoring - all of them, unfortunately, cannot remove the skin from dead animals.
In such cases, tough skin can be found in solid large and small locked chests and other similar stores. They can be found in almost all locations and dungeons on the territory of Azeroth. However, the chance of a lunge is very small (depending on the chest) - from 11 to 41 (Waterproof chest) percent. Tough skin can be created by tanners themselves from 4 thin skins. If there are no familiar tanners, it is best to buy it at an auction where, most likely, an offer will be present.
In principle, for gold in the WOW world, you can buy most reagents for any profession and pump your skill without leaving the auction. But to obtain this precious metal is often more difficult than the reagents themselves.
