The only place for Devilsaur Leather farming in WoW Forever is Un’Goro Crater: the elite Devilsaurs (level 54 to 56) patrol the crater and drop Devilsaur Leather on every skin. WoW Forever keeps Classic’s mob spawns in the original zones, so the routes on the map below work in WoW Forever and in Classic. Forever changes the crowd more than the farm: its new Shaper’s Terrace dungeon (level 58 to 60) sits in Un’Goro’s northern hills, and each corpse can be skinned only once, as in Classic (Blizzard’s October 1 beta notes), so whoever skins first gets the leather.
Updated November 3, 2026: now covers WoW Forever, which keeps Classic’s mob spawns in Un’Goro Crater.
Farming Introduction
- Average gold per hour (our 2019 Classic estimate): Up to 100g, depending on competition
- Competition: high
- Professions required: Skinning
How much gold you can make with Devilsaur Leather farming
Our 2019 Classic estimate was 10-20g per piece, and you have to fight for it! People might even try to steal the skin after you killed it, so be careful. Devilsaur Leather farming is very competitive, and very lucrative. You can also pick up a lot of Thick Leather along with some Rugged Leather during the downtimes. When the dinos are respawning, that is, though there are better spots to farm those specifically. If you have the zone completely to yourself, you might even get above 100 gold per hour, though that is unlikely. If you have Herbalism, that makes this spot even more amazing. You can gather a lot of Dreamfoil, and other herbs, while looking for the devilsaurs. Here is a very useful map of where the devilsaurs can be found:
Devilsaur Leather in WoW Forever
Devilsaur Leather farming in WoW Forever works as it did in Classic: the same Devilsaurs on the same patrols, and Devilsaur Leather from every skin. What Forever changes around it:
- More players in the crater. Blizzard describes Forever’s new Shaper’s Terrace dungeon (58 to 60) as a Titan facility in the northern hills of Un’Goro, so expect groups passing through.
- One skin per corpse. Blizzard’s October 1 beta notes: “Creatures can once again only be skinned a single time before disappearing.” A second skinner in your group competes with you for every Devilsaur.
- Track Beasts for skinners. In the beta client’s data, Skinning’s Field Guide camp object (skill 140, from a Blueprint) teaches Track Beasts, which helps you find the patrolling Devilsaurs without a Hunter.
- Recipes. In SeeMeta’s beta recipe data, Devilsaur Leather goes into two Leatherworking recipes and one Blacksmithing recipe.
- Rugged Leather between spawns. Forever’s Leatherworkers need Rugged Leather from skill 225 instead of 250, about 670 per character on our route, so the Rugged Leather from Un’Goro’s other beasts has more buyers than in Classic.
Our WoW Forever skinning leveling guide uses Un’Goro Crater for skill 240 to 300 and maps every beast there, and the WoW Forever leatherworking leveling guide counts the leather each skill step needs. The WoW Forever professions guide pairs Skinning with Leatherworking for Hunters, Rogues, Druids and Shamans. Our WoW Forever leather farming guide has the best farm for every other leather tier, from Light Leather in Darkshore to Rugged Leather in the Eastern Plaguelands.
