Hello,

I just made it to rank 31 on my leatherworking, and I am trying to find a place that I can get a steady drop of Buffalo Hides to grind off of. My server usually sells them no less than 20K, so it been quite a gil sink for me. Is there a good camp I can find that I can grind off a few wolves and get steady drops?

Thanks

There are quite a few wolves on the way from Camp Glory east to the village of Owl's Nest in Coerthas. The closer you get to the tunnel to the village, the more wolves you should encounter. They are yellow to me at R27.

What are the drop rates on those wolves? I read on yellow gremlin that the drop rate for buffalo hides are around 28% from poachers in the black shroud. I'm assuming this number is greatly exaggerated though. I was hoping to find a good spot to farm these as well. These or gigantoad skins.

LordTinyDragon is right. The best place to go would be in Coerthas, east of Camp Glory. The Abundance of Direwolves and the does make it the best place to farm. The drop rate I think is low, but is better than anywhere else, just because of the wolves having a faster spawn rate. I average about 10 buffalo hides, 12 wolf hide, and 12 blue antelope hides per hour.

And then, I found a rank 38 synth that uses sheep hides; and moved back to that. GL farming the hides!

Thanks. I'll probably go there and grind on my LNC at the same time. I heard its a good place to grind around R30. I like killing two birds with one stone.
