Farming Leather and Cloth

In this guide, I will show you which mobs levels drop which type of cloth or leather. Here is a map with zone levels, if you want to see which zone to go to. You can also find detailed leather and cloth farming guides in the sidebar to the right.

If you farm cloth or leather for your own crafting in WoW Forever, our picks are Tailoring plus Enchanting for cloth classes and Leatherworking plus Skinning for leather and mail, the pair with the largest set of new leveling gear. The WoW Forever professions guide explains both pairs and the reasoning behind them.
