Making Gold with Thick Knot Leather in World of Warcraft

One of the most useful gold crafting methods available to a leatherworker is the ability to craft Heavy Knothide Leather. First acquired in the city of Shattrath from the vendors there, this pattern is a limited-supply item and only costs 5 gold for those who can pick it up. Alternatively, the pattern can be found in Silvermoon City, purchased from vendors Tyn or Zaralda. Regardless of where you find it, the pattern is a great opportunity to make a lot of gold by upgrading your existing Knohide leathers to Heavy Knohide Leather. The pattern only requires 5 of the first and the result is very profitable. Finding the Knothide leather itself can also be quite easy by taking advantage of the high supply rate for the item in Nagrand near the Safari.

However, there are other methods of finding, buying, or farming Knothide leather. The first and most obvious is to simply buy it from the Auction House. If you’re doing the heavy leather because you need to, this is a good option. If you’re trying to sell it, you might want to farm it instead. A great location that is not usually crowded is the Terrokar Forest, deep in the Skethyl Mountains. Located in the mountains is a cave with a large population of Blackwind Sabercats. However, you will need a flying mount to get here. This is a great place to farm, probably the best, despite the strength of the Gatos. However, if you’re still interested in purchasing your leather, the low price on most Knothide leather stacks is 13 gold.

If you’re interested in making a full stack of Heavy Knothide Leathers, you’ll first need 5 stacks of normal leather. The cost differential between what you pay for normal leather and how much you can sell for heavy leather is about 35 gold, directly proportional to about 15 minutes of buying and crafting time, a great way to make some gold quickly.

This is a great method for anyone with leatherworking. Either method yields massive amounts of profit and for those willing to put in the time and effort, each stack of Heavy Knothide Leather is 100 gold automatically. This is a great way to put all that hard farming to good use and make some solid gold. Keep in mind, however, that auction house prices fluctuate all the time, and you could get burned if you don’t resell your items immediately after manufacturing.
