This was a super easy quest to complete. Going to the designated quest area the item drops from [npc=159856], which have a quick respawn and is generally a great area to farm leather, regardless of whether the world quest is active here or not.
With max skinning, after roughly 10 minutes of running in circles dotting up mobs and following behind others to skin their kills I received:
28x grey items totaling 27g to vendor
1x green item totaling 37g to vendor
10x Rugged Carapace quest items
10x Death Blossom that spawned in the area
5x Marrowroot that spawned in the area
6x Creeping Crawler Meat
89x Desolate Leather (and an additional 20 from quest reward)
3x Heavy Desolate Leather
13x Callous Hide
1x Heavy Callous Hide
Drop rate is about 5-7 kills per Rugged Carapace. (50-70 total kills)
Either have the item prebought from the AH or only do this World Quest if you are farming mats.
This is the kind of quest where Enchant Gloves - Shadowlands Gathering comes in handy, as the drop rate of the carapaces is a little on the lower side.
