As of right now these can be skinned off of Landlocked Grouper in the Eastern Plaguelands.
Found out when doing this quest: Fredrick's Fish Fancy.

Just got this as a skinning drop at from a level 32-33 orca right by the bay in ShadowPrey Village.

Kommentar von DNSStylewalker

Due to Blizzards Hotfix from 29/11 Cataclysmic leather items cannot be skinned anymore:

Cataclysm leather can no longer be skinned from low-level NPCs.

Kommentar von sivla

as to be said this has a shockingly crap drop rate, regardless of mob. I have not come across 1 mob that has better drop rate...must be well below 2%

Kommentar von 733199

Farmed this in Vashj'ir and Uldum. The sharks in Vashj'ir offer about a 10-15% droprate. The water serpents in Uldum offered, I'd say very close to accurate with the 24% that is currently posted on the site here. The snakes are less abundent. But due to them being farmed for a quest and the fact that they arent as far apart, this area has far better yields. Got 8 in Vashj'ir in and hour. Got 22 in an hour in Uldum.
Good hunting.

Skinned 20 in about an hour from Frenzied Thresher, as long as you are the only farmer its worth it. The spawning time is very short so you don't event have to look around for new mobs to farm.Some people come to quest it, but as long as they loot, you can still skin.

Kommentar von 737508

Frenzied Threshers are the way to go when farming these... I can get about 35-40 per hour as long as I mount up on my flyer between kills. The other advantage of farming these is that they only drop Savage Leather and not the Savage Leather Scraps like the mobs in Vashj'ir and Uldum.

Kommentar von Evilbob51

Is it just me, or do these seem a bit useless to farm? They arent used in any high level patterns, and it takes far too many of them to skill up off them for lvling your LW.

Kommentar von 391123

Farming the sharks around 53,39 in Vash is pretty worth it. Got 16 in about 35 mins off of them. Plus the snakes don't have too bad of a drop rate, either. I killed Akasha (can't remember exactly but the named snake there) 6 times and he dropped one 5 times. You do get alot of scraps but I ended up with a stack and half of leather worth in the same amount of time...Good area for low 80s to farm.

Seems to be no purpose for skinning these other than selling. They don't have a use in any good patterns.

They're more annoying than anything else. I've been skinning Tank in Tol Barad and getting 1 or 2 each time. Would much prefer a double dose of Savage Leather, instead.

If there's going to be a use for them later one, maybe. For now, I'm just selling them to vendors.

Kommentar von 710524

These are far from useless. The Tsunami Chestguard is 3 LW points per make and sell fairly high. Depending on the server these tend to be cheaper then Heavy Savage Leather so if you can get enough their a good way to get through that early 500 rut LWer's hit and might even make some money off the Chestguard.

Kommentar von 197042

Personally, I found it easiest and quickest to farm these by grabbing a friend and killing Tank. We managed it just fine with two DPS, but it'd be even easier with a tank or healer.

He respawns very quickly, has a high chance of dropping one or even two scales (as well as loads of leather), and there's no need to go hunting him down once you find his spawn point.

Kommentar von daemonfox

Farming these off the Famished Sharks in Shimmering Expanse is well worth the time.

I have collected 2 full stacks and then some in less than 30 minutes on my boss Shaman... they just keep spawning and spawning to no end...

At one point i had two dozen corpses on top of me cuz i just kept tabbing and LB LB LB FS LvB until i had no more in range.

I also noted, the drop rate on skinning Savage Leather is really high, with only a half dozen scraps out of hundreds of kills... went from 450 skinning to well into the 500s effortlessly here.

Edit: After adding another hour and a half my luck took a downward turn... less scales and many MANY more scraps... but still over all 5+ stacks of scales and a LW bag full of (converted) Savage Leather.... I'm a happy Shammy.

FYI... there is a huge lvl 80 neutral whale that goes by every few minutes... don't waste your time i only ever get 1 Savage at most and he drops garbage... waste of swim time.

Edit 2: Adding a few more days worth of data and i must have had my lucky boxers on that first day... worst drop rate ever on scales and almost no Savage skins... just scraps sadface...

One good note though... very easy to go from 450 to 525 skinning here... maxed out on my third trip in.

Kommentar von prettyboy1

While Nephemera and Cayslia make good points about farming Tank for these, they fail to mention one thing. Most people who farm, are out there on their own, and after killing Tank 40 times, you get really bored, and I speak from experience. I am currently farming the scales to make the Tsunami chest-guard, and at the point, I'll deal with a lower drop rate for a change in scenery.

Kommentar von Arcmon

The best place (If you really want to spend the time) to farm for this item is in Feralas! I have tried farming for deepsea scale from killing the sharks. (Frenzied Threshers) But you spend so much time swimming around it becomes super boring fast, with little reward in deepsea scale. Goto Feralas...kill King Crawlers! tons of them....little chasing... and a higher drop rate than with Frenzied Threshers. (another bonus...if you haven't been cooking or need a place to farm for cooking mats...they drop a good amount of Monstrous Claws as well!)

Kommentar von Nyumbu

My results for farming the King Crawler at The Steam Pools in southern Feralas after aprox. 2 to 2.5 hours:

62 Deepsea Scale
128 Savage Leather (no scraps)
88 Monstrous Claw

This is just the "important" stuff. I got the usual green drops and the stomach goodies from skinning, but this post is mainly about the Scale drop-rate. Water is shallow enough to fly around just over the surface spamming tab till one shows up, much faster than swimming.

Edit: Above data was from main lake only, before I realized the crabs are on the smaller ponds to the east as well. Forget the main lake and farm the small ponds only. Start at the top pool and work your way down. Rinse and repeat for non-stop killing. After 1 hour (timed!) I got:

53 Deepsea Scale
109 Savage Leather (no scraps)
69 Monstrous Claw

Happy farming! Enjoy it while you can before it gets too crowded or gets hit with the nerf stick.

Kommentar von teamdillinger

These drop nicely from Snapjaw Groupers in Shimmering Expanse. No need to wander around, they're all grouped on a ledge. Respawn rate is quick, and plenty of crabs running around to gather Savage leather while you're at it.

Kommentar von Eloderis

After spending hours farming Uldum ad Vash'jir, I decided to try Twilight Highlands based on the drop rate list, hoping for some luck. It turned out that the Frenzied Threshers are the best mobs to farm Deepsea Scales. Their respawn rate is not that great but when skinned, they drop 1 scale for every 1-3 Savage Leather. One Savage Leather or one Deepsea scale is always skinned from them with the occasional Strange Bloated Stomach. I was on the edge of losing hope when I was trying to make the Tsunami Set for a guildie because it required 80 Deepsea Scales. Twilight Highlands is the way to go for skinning anything Cataclysm related. Good luck!

Kommentar von Arexx

A worthless item. You require 60 of these to make a cloak you will replace with a 365 as soon as you hit 85, or at the very least you can get one with rep, why would someone spend hours farming the retarded amount of mats required to make one cloak is beyond me. But this seems to be the case with quite a few leatherworking items, ridiculous mats that are far over priced in the AH will make this the most expensive profession for me to level to 525. Hardly seems worth it.

Kommentar von helmates

I must admit to being underwhelmed at my success finding Deepsea Scales from Frenzied Threshers in Twilight Highlands. I was thankful there was no competition, but even with the Bountiful Bags guild bonus, it took more than one full kill-all-mobs trip to get 1 stack of Deepsea Scales. And this only happened because of some lucky "Bountiful Bags" randomness (twice +3 and once +4 for 10 out of twenty).

The drop rate seems low and respawn rate is slow, as pointed out above.

Kommentar von florhl

Yeah I'm disappointed at the low drop rates of these & how many you need, all to just jump a few points & gear that's going to be replaced in a few levels...think I'm going to sell what I find & move on

Kommentar von 892035

I found the frenzies thresher in the twilight higlands good to farm these. If you take two swims around the island you can get between 13-20 pieces. It took me half an hour to do this (i did not mount between kills). One other reason to go her, is to fetch some volatile fire, savage leather, and blackened dragonscale in this area. I went for a half an hour to do my two swims, then up to the lava pools up north, where you can fish up some 8- 12 volatile fires (there in te pools (fire pools are the calles, i thought)- with find fish you will see these), and then head up to obsidian forest for some more savage leather and some dragonscale. In one hour i got:
- 13 deepseascales
- 14 volatile fires
- 10 blackened dragonscale
- 88 savage leather

Happy farming!

Kommentar von 963948

Feralas is a grea spot kill King Crawlers
so after roughly 60 minutes you get trash gray items only about 50g of worth trash and about 80 leather and 40+ scales !

and i did this with my porly geared mage alt. if i did this with my main mage ( witch i dont have skinning on im usre i would have farmed the doubble amount or more)

but bare in mind use the samller pools not the big lake its to much down time runing around like an fool.

BTW u get even lots of cooking materials to cook your food on.

Kommentar von Hanol

Killing King Crawlers in Feralas works. However I was able to skin only 20 Deepsea Scales in 30 minutes. Not 60 an hour as was previously posted. Hunter level 85. I was killing them relatively fast. A lot of Savage leather though and there are a lot of crawlers close to each other.

Kommentar von 783458

For low levels that aren't particularly interested in farming 83-84 mobs, Atasha in Vashj'Ir is a good alternative, respawning every 5-15 second. Just kill, then loot, then skin and then repeat, has a 20 percent drop rate, but as you can kill this mob constantly and it is only level 80 it's a good alternative. Furthermore whilst farming this mob Frenzied Orcas and Spiketooth Eels are nearby for additional pulls which also have a 21% and 20% drop rate respectively.

Kommentar von 1017617

I have to agree with just about everyone here. These are a joke to try to farm. And since in Blizz's infinite wisdom, you need a ton of them to make anything, they're a total waste of time. If you happen to find some on the AH that aren't outrageously priced, just buy them. Simply questing will give you a few here and there (skinning everything possible). After all quests in Vas I still only ended up with one stack. An hour in Feralas netted 11. Strange thing is, I got 2 tiny treasure chest even though the pot is supposedly only good in Cata areas. I hated wasting the potion but wanted to try the area out. I suggest creating something that doesn't require all of the scales...these and the dragon scales because its a joke trying to get enough to make it worth the time.

Kommentar von 219175

TOTALLY agree with farming Ferelas ... getting scales and skins ... level 85 - no competition, no distraction .... great advice

Kommentar von Hokares

Just another testimony to awesome deepsea scale drops in Feralas. I just got 12 drops in the last 5 minutes.

Kommentar von Brizors

King Crawler’s in Feralas(74/73), located in the upper pools in relation to the lake are amazing for Deepsea Scales, Savage leather, and Monstrous Claws. After approximately 60 mins of farming I had collected 76 Deepsea Scales, 182 Savage Leather, and 106 Monstrous Claw. As an 85 rogue average pull size was 3-4mobs with the occasional 5th. Fantastic place!

Kommentar von citrique

The best place to "farm" these as a geared 90 is in ZG. In under 30 minutes killing all the fish and lost offspring of gahz'ranka in the instance plus Tor-Tun, I got 5 stacks. They also drop tons of savage leather along with the scales.

These are utterly worthless however, except for making Umhang aus gehärteten Schuppen which is a pretty solid item to disenchant for dust. If dust is over 10G each on your realm and savage leather is decently high, clearing out ZG in a half hour while farming for the mounts there is a good way to make a few thousand gold.

If these are under 50S each or so on your server's AH, they're probably worth buying out for this purpose as well.

Kommentar von Junglestalker

Iw found the crocs in Zul' gurub to give tons of scales, they are easy to kill at lvl 90 and are fairly clustered up!

Kommentar von Annuin

Should anyone still want these, Zul'Gurub is a good place for them.

If you skin your way around the moat, killing the crocs on the banks, the lost spawn of Gahz'ranka and the frenzied fish, you can get about 40-45. You also skin a lot of savage leather (~60) and savage leather scraps (~215), about 40g in grey trash, some fish/meat and some BOE's.

If you leave the bosses untouched, you can reset and go around the moat again and again.
