Thread: Where to Farm Hides?

So I've asked this question in the past, and there were lists on the forums at one points that gave good locations to farm the various tiers of hides, but I can't find that info anymore, so I thought I'd ask again, and see if we can't compile an up to date list.

Here's what I've been using:

T1: Bridgefields Wall & Puddifoot's Fields in the Shire
T2: Wolf den near the Weatherway in the Weather Hills, bears at Withywindle (Old Forest?), Barghests and Barrow-Hounds in the Barrow-Downs drop 2 hides per kill
T3: Ruins of Ost Durgonn, just north-east of the Last Bridge, the Hoar-Mantles in Kingsfell, North Downs and out by Esteldin drop 3 hides per kill
T4: Bear Den east of Ost Forod, Hoar-Mantles in MM. Drop 3 hides per kill
T5: Burnt Tor north-west of Echad Dunann, Hoar-Mantles in Forochel drop 3 hides per kill
T6 - Magnificent: Library just north of Dolven View
T6 - Extraordinary: Woods of Lothlorien
T7: Trum Dreng, Wargs in SE Mirkwood, Starkmoor
T8: Fang Point, Howling Wood, cows south-east of Eaworth

T7:

So, any better places for any of those? How about Tier 7, anyone find a good farming ground for those yet?

T1: Wolf Den near Celondim or Wolf Den near Michel Delving.
T2: I think all of the boars and bears East of Adso's Camp drop medium, plus the ruins with all of the bears near there.
T3: Wargs near Dol Dinen.
T4: Wolf Den in the Trollshaws (plus you can usually get the rare to spawn and get an Adamant shard out of it)

• T5: Starkath in the Misty Mountains is by far the best place IMO (it's the warg area in the NE corner). There are no other MOBs there and it's a complete loop. There are several stealth wargs so if they are gray to you you might have to AOE to find them but once you learn where they are they always spawn in the same spots.
• T6: Extraordinary: What about the worm den in the Flaming Deeps? I can't remember if they drop hides. Far West side north of the exit to the Water Works. Again, there are no other MOBs here, only worms. Alternatively any beast den in Southern Eregion or Ednewaith should work.
• T7: Trum Drang in Dunland (NW area). Ox's (neutral), boars (threateners), and wolves (aggro) a-plenty, low concentration of non-beasts.

T6 - Magnificent. North of the Burnt Tor is good for this, especially the goats. Some goats are T6 hides, but most are T6.

T5 - There's a camp in Forochel full of saber tooths (except when not controlled by the enemy), I guess wargs are easier to kill, will have to check the place in Misty stated above. The place is just south of the second town or encampent in forochel. You get a deed, plus some rep items (not the 700xp ones though)

T7: Large Hides. The Turm Dreng area is definitely a good one since all of the mobs drop hides. Oxen sometimes drop 2 or 3. In the Starkmoor there are large numbers of oxen as well, plus a warg/wolf den. All are good for working on your beast-slayer deed as well!
