At this point, Cured Rugged Hide is largely worthless. The armor it crafts is mostly level 60 or nearly-so, with a few pieces of ridiculously expensive low-50 armor. Even if you can get the hide for free - and it's not entirely unlikely that you can - the armor just plain isn't worth crafting anymore.
There is one thing it is still useful for.
Namely, making a Tranquil Mechanical Yeti.
How the mighty have fallen.
this item is needed by all class to make the tier 3 set.In Wrath of The Lich King expansion, tier 3 no longer exists, Cured rugged hide can't be used to obtain tier 3.
How true, especially when you want to get the Shop Smart, Shop Pet...Smart achievment - every pet counts :)
