The Bloodfen Lashtail cave in Dustwallow Marsh is an awesome place to farm if you're the only one there.
At 80 it gets cleared a little too fast. So as someone else said below, you might want to hit The Den of Flame.
You're also really close to Mudsprocket, for Vendor, Inn, Mail and repairs.
If you are a skinner and want a never-ending supply of heavy leather without having to wait for respawns, go to the Den of Flame in Dustwallow Marsh (39, 65). Clear everything there, including the cave.
Then go to the raptor cave at 32, 65 (west from the Den of Flame). Clear the large dino (Goreclaw) early on as he respawns fairly quickly and you can get him a few times as you clear the area and the cave.
After all the dinos are cleared, go back to the Den of Flame. Rinse and repeat.
Am I the only one disturbed skinning the raptors? I have normally started skinning while they are still doing their death animation. Looks like your skinning them alive.
