Pattern: Tough Scorpid Breastplate

This is one of the recipes needed to craft the pieces required to spec Dragonscale Leatherworking, so will be quite valuable to any leatherworking hunters and shamans out there. Alliance: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5141 Horde: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5145

I needed this and the Chest pattern for the Dragonscale Leatherworking quest since there was none on AH. So I started grinding, now 1 hour later and roughly 250 kills I'm leaving Tanaris very dissapointed since no pattern dropped for me, giving me the title <unlucky f*ck> since based on only droprate I would have gotten atleast 6 patterns. So it's all up to AH now, let there be a kind soul somewhere.

It would seem the NPC tht drops this no longer exists

Just dropped (in 5.4) from golems near the gates of uldum (to the south) on third kill.

The items of the Tough Scorpid set have been changed to BoP... [item=72029 domain=www] ...and are now obtainable from Southsea Strongarms in Lost Rigger Cove, Tanaris.

[item=72029] is now available to leatherworkers only. It's a unique BoP area drop in Tanaris and the drop rate is pretty good (better than posted, since these numbers include stats for non-leatherworkers who can't get the pattern). [url=http://www.wowhead.com/maps?data=440:524419]This general area[/url] seems to have the highest drop rates. Most of the mobs in and around the [npc=39022]s drop the patterns. I farmed 6 out of 7 of the patterns for the set in under an hour. (Missed the last one because I thought I was done!)

[u]The full set of recipes (in order of leatherworking level) is:[/u] [ol] [li][item=72029] (220)[/li] [li][item=72026] (220)[/li] [li][item=72025] (225)[/li] [li][item=72028] (235)[/li] [li][item=72027] (240)[/li] [li][item=72030] (245)[/li] [li][item=72033] (250)[/li] [/ol]

[i][b]Note[/b]: Don't buy these patterns off the AH - they're going to be very overpriced because someone has one sitting around that isn't BoP.[/i]

[small][Edit: for clarification][/small]

This is literally the best thing I have read all day. I was able to get everything in probably 30 minutes tops. Thank you. The will all drop one right after the other, no duplicates....at least I don't think so, not sticking around to find out.

This pattern dropped for me from a [npc=5431] located at Land's End Beach in Tanaris. I farmed these turtles for about 2 hours and got all of the Touch Scorpid Patterns except the Leggings. Happy Farming!

[b]FOR THE LW SCORPID PLANS GRIND[/b]

-Never buy those patterns on AH, it's an easy farm for Leatherworkers. (1 1/2hr max for all plans) -Each plan will drop one after the other; you don't loot twice the same pattern. -[npc=39022] are the most abundant and they respawn faster then all other creatures found in Tanaris that gives those plans. -My estimate it's about 40 to 60 kills per plan.

An essential [b]macro[/b] to get to mobs faster in water ( MOUNTNAME= replace it with wathever flying or waterwalking mount you have):

/cast [swimming,nomod]MOUNTNAME; [flyable,nomod][flyable,mod:shift]MOUNTNAME;MOUNTNAME /dismount [mounted]

Mobs are so spread apart it's hard to get out of water fast so you will need this macro.

Just got full set of patterns in about 30 minutes from Sandfury Zombies outside Zul'Farrak - mobs and clickable graves that spawn them are plentiful - they respawn faster than you can clear the area. To complete the set for mog, [item=94056] works great.

Can confirm that this is a great way to farm the patterns. Took about 15 min for all 7

Definitely the place to go -- zombies in (and tending) graves drop these patterns (May 2026) -- took several "orbits" of the graves and no duplicate drops :-)
