Err, yes... I don't see enough to note the name.
I'd forgotten about the potion. Might even have some in the bank. Plus I have probably hundreds of stacks of Whiptail that I'd like to find a use for.
I need leather at the moment, so I will probably continue to farm where I have been, but if I find a potion handy I will chug it. I wonder, since I have a tailor and a skinner on different accounts, if I could farm with both of them in a group for extra cloth? But it might not be worth the down time of switching back and forth to loot.
On the positive side, while I did not find much cloth last night, I did get a Formula: Enchant Bracer - Major Strength, which should be worth something.
I would go with Bun's suggestion. It is likely that one or both Horde and Alliance will have a spider daily and even just cleaning up after the Horde can yield tons of leather. My leatherworker is still lvl 80, so he wasn't out farming his own, but was fed tons of leather that way by my tailor/skinner fire mage.
The hunter I'm doing this with is 84, and I don't think can get to Tol Barad. I tried the troggs that you suggested and you were correct, no leather. But probably more cloth than from the Wastewander Outriders. Anyhow we convinced our alchemist to come up with two potions of treasure finding. About to see how well they work for this application.
From experience, I'd say that attempting to farm leather before level 85 is not really worth the effort. Granted, you can hit max LW skill with what you farm up, but for anything worthwhile it's perhaps best wait until you can farm Tol Barad and the like.
If you are going through TB, don't forget to murder each and every fox out there for your very own Fox Kit (Some assembly required).
That said, I found my best source of leather was Firelands dailies. Yes. Those things. This is especially true if you side with the Shadow Wardens for your questing on days when you're not trying to chase achievements. I used to make enough Savage Leather to trade up for about two or three Primal Hides per daily questing day.
