Absolute best place to farm rugged hide if you're level 85+ is Onyxia's Lair. There are about four or five guards that either drop 10-19 rugged leather or 5-8 rugged hide. The best part, is simply farm, leave, reset instance and do it all over again. I ran it three times and got over 22 rugged hides and 80 some rugged leather.
BEST places for Rugged hide! Also, Thick leather with hides that drop randomly as well:
Blasted Lands: Mobs are all over, you literally just run around and blast stuff over and over and over, and they respawn quickly as well. Tons of boars, blisterpaws, etc All over zone one right after the other. ALSO, as you're grinding, you will pick up a few shards or something that begin a quest. They stack so you can just turn them in one after the other, rewarding a sack of goods each time with 1-2 green and blue gear: nice added bonus. Just circle Dark Portal area.... its SO easy its almost boring! But very rewarding. After 1 1/2 hours or so, I had no less than 140 rugged leathers and lots of thick ones as well.
A couple faster ways:
Sunken Temple!: keep in mind, the dragon bosses drop only 1-2 thick or rugged leathers, so you can skip the tunnels and boss chambers.... It only takes 10 minutes per run, too!: Just run in, start at one side, and circle main room grabbing all welps and wyrmkin elites, exit instance, reset, and repeat. After like 30-40 mins, and a few circles, I left with:
170+ Rugged leather
50+ thick leather
42 Worn Dragon scales
70-80 Green Dragon scales
and again, a few random hides as well. So fast!
Dire Maul- North entrance: Only need to run in and hit first room in center, and around the square in 2nd room to the west. Hit gordok mastiff mobs, exit, reset, repeat. Mobs aggro easily, so i just run around and tab target 1 member of each "group", put up a non-damage debuff until I get as many around me as possible, then I blow them all to hell :) Takes alittle longer, as in 20 mins tops each run, but again, I left with over 140 rugged leathers and 40+ heavy leathers.<3
:) happy hunting :)
Totally stupid.. This hide dropped to me In Onyxia 25-man lvl 80 raid. they must have forgotten to chance it from lvl 60 instance.. :P
