Guild Wars 2

Hey folks new player here. How do you farm leather? Is there skinning in the game or does it just drop from killing animals? I only played a few hrs this far and just picked up leather working and for the life of me I can’t figure how to farm the leather.

Use salvage kits on medium armor or things that says “leather”, “pelt” etc

Yeah, Like CHOAM says, there’s no real way to farm leather or cloth except salvaging armor and specific salvage drops. It all comes from mobs.

Awesome thanks for the replies!!

since there seems to be an issue with gathering this common resource i would like to request that this be an option for this discipline. combining lower level leather into higher level panels much like the gems of the jeweler.

as far as the issue goes, when farming humanoid enemies that would normally drop the leather needed as a common drop, even while wearing all magic find armor with the runes to match, the drops suddenly stop after about 4-5 minutes of farming. even the armor items that normally would be salvaged stop dropping. doesn’t help when you can’t skin common animals for this resource or that animals themselves that normally would be harvested for leather, don’t actually drop leather. What I mean to say is, the animals that normally drop leather stop in the same fashion after you try to get started farming, and those few that do drop anything isn’t enough.

You already can combine lower tier items in the mystic forge to create higher tier items. Not sure it is really worth it though.
