If you're wondering why there is no "Skinned from" tab, it is because Heavy Borean Leather cannot be skinned. It is produced from Borean Leather using the leatherworking spell Heavy Borean Leather which is taught by a trainer @ level 390. Popular instances to farm Borean Leather are [zone=4415] and [zone=4416]. Other suggestions are on the Borean Leather page.
Currently: All patterns come out to 114 Heavy Borean Leathers.
Right now, the average AH price for Heavy Borean is so low, I make more money farming Frostweave than by skinning Heavy Borean Leather. I've read quite a few similar anecdotal reports from other players on the official forums.That's sad.
I hope Blizzard has plans to increase the number of items that require the leather as a reagent, or maybe re-introduce something like the TBC LW drums that made skinning mats so in-demand. Arctic Fur sells, but the drop rates are so random it's hardly a dependable item to farm. As it stands, it's difficult to make a decent profit off of skinning in WotLK.
Edit: My post is on a valid topic for discussion -- the unusually low prices of skinning materials (and Heavy Borean Leather in particular) in WotLK. What's with the relentless modding down of posts here?
