These can be found exclusively in Tanaris from the scorpids there, but they drop in plentifull supply. Bassically a one in four drop

Commento di 14424

For aspiring dragonscale leatherworkers, in your 40s the best place to find these scales are Tanaris. Scorpid Hunters are plentiful and you'll the scorpid scales somewhat quickly there.

For higher level characters taking up DS Leatherworking later, you will find a better drop percentage from the scorpids in southern tanaris, or from the blasted lands.

That would have been good advice if the scorpids in the scorpion camp gave you Scorpid Scales when skinned but they don't. The scorpids in the camps are Cleft Scorpid http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=7078#z0Rzc

There are few to none on Argent Dawn right now. Not sure what the situation on these things is like on other servers, but if AD is anything to go by: they're worth a lot on the AH.

I've found that the scorpids around Thistleshrub Valley in Tanaris drop 2 scales instead of 1 when I skin them while still maintaining the 1 out of 4 drop rate.

Thistleshrub is a litte ways out there but I didn't get ganked at all when I farmed there as opposed to closer to Gadgetzan so it's probably safer too (PvP servers).

Commento di 65805

I found the drop rate to be pretty low but not too bad though i found around Thristleshrub Valley to be the highest drop rate usually dropping 2

Commento di shexna

the lvl 50 scorpids in Blasted lands often drop two of these, and has much higer drop rate than i ever found in tanaris.
as a lvl 49hunter i have no problem getting these. and in 10min ive gotten 15scales.

Commento di mommyclz

I've farmed them in tanaris and in blasted lands, and I think the speed of farming was about the same, but I found blasted lands less frustrating. The flat area in front of Dreadmaul Hold has many scorpids - I would start on the road (near the elf questgivers), work a big circle around, and by the time I got back to the road, the first scorpids I'd killed would already have respawned. In tanaris, I was having to mount to go find more scorpids, and that was annoying. The best region for me in tanaris was along the eastern edge, along the path where you escort the tanaris homing chicken.

Commento di 82484

perhaps I could blame poor luck but on my first run into Ulda, straight to the two nearest scorpid pits I didn't skin a single scale. Tanaris, however, yielded a very good return just running around the zone

YMMV

Commento di childofnewlight

Have they improved the drop rate out in Tanaris from the Scorpid Hunters? Before 2.3 I'd spend an hour out there and be lucky to get 10 or 12. So far I'm up to 6 after a few minutes. Consistent drops each time.

Commento di 104972

I was grinding the scorpids in the Blasted Lands on my level 53 hunter. Got all 40 I needed for the Dragonscale Leatherworking quest in under an hour.

Commento di Silverline

Ulda is only usful untill Blizz catches on. They will actually keep you from entering an instance if you go in there too many times. So if you choose to farm in Ulda, keep in mind you've can only do it so much.

Commento di 108639

Near Dreadmaul Hold (Blasted Lands), around that small mountainous area is a good place for lvl 46 + Scorpids. With the small time frame I had for my 50 Hunter (20 minutes), I got around 13 Scales.

Another good place is Tanaris, near the beach south of CoT. Not only is it a good spot for finding Scorpid Scales , but a great place for Turtle Scales too. Mobs there range from 47 + usually.

Watch out for the elite giants though, on the beach.

Commento di Supremacy

I also had to suddenly get a bunch of these for the Dragonscale Leatherworking quests. For me, I found one of the best places to farm for these are in Tanaris. Specifically, between the Abyssal Sands and Noxious Lair. Just kind of make a circular path between them and the Broken Pillar and the Dunemaul Compound. You'll find lots of Scorpid Dunestalkers who pretty frequently will give you two scales per one skin.

That worked for me, anyway. Plenty of beasts around, so you can pick up some thick leather for leatherworking or for auctioning off.

Commento di Saberiar

As a lv70 hunter, I tried the Uldaman method. Unfortunantly for me, it proved more of a hassle than it was worth. It was very easy getting to the scorpids but there was a decently low drop rate and some trips i would get 4 and others none. But for hunters who want to try it out, I figured out a good technique. Simply put aspect of the monkey on then run about halfway to the scorpids and feign death. Then get to the scorpids and feign death again. For the scorpids themselves, i just put an explosive trap down and began to volley them. Simple as that. Just a slow process.

Commento di 163845

My alt hunter is an LW and the best way I got the scales was using my 70 druid to stealth into the back door of Ulda past the few mobs (don't need to be a stealth class, but it saves time) and just hurricaned the scorpids. They went down within seconds. The only bad part about this is you can only do it 5 times an hour, but, the first four times I did it I got 5 scales and the fifth time I did I got 4 scales. So its about 25 scales in about 10 minutes as a stealh/aoe run. (if you cant stealth you can try invisibility pots to save time).

Commento di 71125

Blasted lands.

Scorpids have a 40% drop rate and drop 1-2 scales. Theres not a lot of them but far faster than farming Uldaman. You'll get 2-6 per run in Uldaman and it takes 15s per run. You'll only get ~20 scales out of Uldaman before your 5 resets are up.

Commento di 253455

Blasted lands was the best for me. Amazingly fast respawn times got me two full stacks in about an hour.

Commento di 346653

As a level 42 Hunter, I did the following:

-Grabbed 14 stacks of arrows (filled Quiver)
-Pulled out my Scorpid (for pure irony and it's Tanking ability)
-Followed the route marked on this map: http://www.wowhead.com/?maps=440:502318498343494368488390494409505429512446537448536415527390549405554436555473568495582483588452593421573413

Results after 2.5 hours:
- 2 levels (rested)
- 7g65s in vendor trash and coin pickup
- 56 Scorpid Scales
- ~90 Thick/Heavy Leather

Scorpids were between levels 41 and 44. I avoided all non-Scorpid mobs (Basilisks, Carrions).

I would highly recommend continuing this route to include the Wastewater Justice Quest line. It seemed that when I did this, by the time I turned in and started the route over, all the Scorpids had respawned.

Happy hunting!

PS: Just for S&G's, I did this because there were no Scorpid Scales on the AH at the time. On my way to pickup the Dragonscale quest I stopped at the AH and found 7 stacks of 20 selling for 2.5g each...

Edit: Lastly, this was as Marksman. Pet had no issues holding aggro. Mobs are close enough so you can pop Viper between them and be back at 80% by the time you reach the next one.

Commento di 384158

I must be unlucky then, because I did my maximum allotted resets for the hour. Between the three pits of scorpids, I only came out with 4, count it, 4 Scorpid Scales. I mean, I have hella leather, but that's not what I went in there for.

*edit* Yes, I know you have to skin them.

Commento di 429626

Farmed for an hour ( used stop watch ) in Blasted landed and got 82 Scorpid Scales.

1 out of 3 dropped 2x Scorpid Scale. Respawn is fast around Dreadmaul camp. Wipe out the Scorpok Stingers and then run back towards the beginning and repeat.

** Tried again about 2 hours later and again took me about an hour to get 70. I would suggest if your on a pvp realm to farm in Blasted lands because I know in Tanaris you have to constantly look over your shoulder. If you're pve, have fun in either spots! Good luck!

Commento di 440970

I just farmed my 20 scorpid scales in right around 45 minutes from around Thistleshrub. Most dropped 2 at a time. I have the latest patch to date... so good luck.

Commento di 323547

I needed a good chunk of Scorpid Scales for my level 43 Tauren Shaman (enhancement) alt to craft the Tough Scorpid mail armor set. I thought I would make it easy on myself and send my level 80 DK to go kill some scorpids in Tanaris and get several stacks of Scorpid Scales in no time. WRONG. These scales will only "drop" from skinning and not from looting. I learned this sad fact after about 20 or so scorpid kills and no scales. If you want to farm for these make sure that you have the skinning profession or your trip to Tanaris will be in vain. Time to go search the auction house for what will be sure some overpriced Scorpid Scales.

Commento di 209573

I highly suggest hitting up Blasted Lands for scales. The best area is in front of Dreadmaul Hold. It's a short hop for Alliance 'toons (and therefore great for selling/repairing), and the only mobs that spawn there are Snickerfang Hyenas, Scorpok Stingers, and the random Wretched Lost One (which is quite useful if your pet has Carrion Feeder and you forgot pet food). I tried Tanaris at first, but while it had more scorpions overall, they were VERY far away from each other and required a lot of riding/dismounting/remounting. The scorpions in Blasted Lands are quite close to each other and are in once nice little bowl for quick and easy killing.

To save myself time (and give myself something to do), I just went around and killed everything, figuring that I can sell the excess leather for a few gold, and that I think that the scorpions and hyenas share spawn points. The re-spawn rate is pretty quick, too, making it much more viable for scales than Tanaris. Thus, I had almost no down-time, allowing me to kill with near-impunity and no small amount of glee.

Also, as a couple of people have pointed out, the scorpions have the chance to drop two scales when skinned, but not always. It seems to be a 50/50 thing, but that's just what I observed. I obtained about 50 or so scales in an hour, but I wasn't quite paying attention to the numbers/time, and I walked away from the keyboard a couple of times for a drink/snack, so your mileage may vary.

L44 Resto Druid vs Deadly Cleft Scorpions

Commento di 590831

To agree with Designatethis + Risukage, I find / found the appearance of ' scorpid scale ' was more often in north west Blasted lands, just south of Dreadmaul Hold, with alot less hunting + gathering, movement + travel time as opposed to getting them from all over Tanaris. Also, without having to do instances to gether them, or solo one + continually reset it. Killing Starving Snickerfang in the meantime also gives a chance at ' thick leather ' + ' rugged leather '. Respawn rate is fairly quick, so little down time for those of you who decided to go Shaman like myself.

Commento di zware

Farmed them in Uldaman. Got 12 of these before the reset limit hit my account.

So I went to Tanaris to get the other 28 Scales. They dropped pretty well off of Scorpid Dunestalker. Got them in less than 30 minutes!

Commento di 674965

Uldaman, is no longer a place to farm. I've farmed with a DK for an hour on the above Scorpions.... Nothing. Even thought it was a "quest," farming, so I had my 45 rogue clear the scorpion pits. Nothing. I had another alt clear and the only drops are reg leather; I.e. Heavy leather, Med. Leather, Thick Hide... etc. Nothing for the target farm.

Commento di 707437

As of 4.0.3, the rocks northwest of gadgetzan seem to be a pretty good place to farm scorpid scales. They respawn pretty quickly.

The scorpids in the Blasted Lands around Dreadmaul Post are gone. I did see one named mob there (Clack the Reaver) who is a scorpid but he dropped rugged leather and the imperfect draenethyst fragment.

I tried the Uldaman back door route as was previously suggested and obtained four scorpid scales and some leathers from the group of scorpids described previously.

The area previously described in Tanaris northwest of Gadgetzan worked well as did the area around Thistlehrub Valley, though the scorpids were not as close together. I can also confirm that snakes in Tanaris drop the scales when skinned.

All these areas require the skinning profession to get the scales.

Commento di 838171

The Scorpid recipes are still dropped in the game. I'm leveling my Shaman right now, and while killing things West of Gadgetzan (might have been hyenas, more likely it was scorpids) I got 4 of those recipes. Making the Tough Scorpid Gloves is the easiest way for me to level LW right now. 6 Thick Leather, 8 Scorpid Scales and some thread. Efficiency!

Commento di Shashos

Although they do not appear on the list here, Duneclaw Broodlords in the western part of Tanaris, near the Uldum entrance, also have a really good drop rate of scales.

34 kills netted me about 15 scales. (I say 'about' because I also got three or four scales off of Basking Cobra's as well and I didn't think to keep track at the time.)

This particular mob also appears to share a spawn point with the Unearthed Fossils and the Sand Slitherers. So if you don't see many Broodlords, try killing them as well. They're skinnable, so it'll get you some extra leather/scales which is also good for boosting skinning/leatherworking. :)

Commento di Thair

I found Sandsorrow Watch (41, 26) to be the best place for farming the scales in Tanaris, as there's no more scorpids in Thistleshrub anymore. They're not really close from one another but there's a lot of them.

Commento di restopresto

Drop pretty regularly in Tanaris. Great place to farm.

Commento di 1006547

Farming Scorps for Scorpid Scale in Tanaris
Tough to find as they are stealthed.
Rare Scorpid plus many escort Scorpids found directly east aways of Dunemaul compund in abandoned camp
My best farm method: Use the abandoned camp as a central point. Farm them up, then hit surrounding areas for snakes/scorpids. Return after 5 min or so to camp..
Drop rate was good, almost 1/2 the skins were Scorpid Scales
Cobra and snakes also skinned for Scorpid Scale
Advise hitting up the elementals on the way for Elemental Air etc.
Multiple LW patterns found: Tough Scorpid Boots, Tough Scorpid Shoulders after roughly 45 kills of scorpids.

Commento di 909946

I have one of every profession leveled by far Leatherworking is the wrost to level due to such poor drop rates!

Bs np alchemy np tailoring enchanting np engineering is easier to level then leatherworking.. drops need to be beefed up the 0.01%-0.06% drop rates for this prof is bullcrud

Commento di Trillawnie

Maybe it changed- I found the back entrance to Uldaman to be at 58.5, 37 about halfway between Fuselight and Dustwind Dig. Found the scorpions, thanks!

Commento di raven21ca

Well uldaman is guarenteed drop.. but while waiting to tame Sunwing in Burning steppes ... NW of Flamestar post... I was skinning scorpids there that people killed... i got 7 scales in 2 skins... much easier then running into Uldaman and resetting to get more

Commento di Boxster2004

I cleared the entire back end of Uldaman without a single drop. Got mostly Heavy Leather with a few Medium's and 1 Thick - seems the scorpids that drop the scale also skin to Thick/Rugged.

Got about 20-25% drop rate on Scorpids in SW area of Burning Steppes and that yielded enough that I did not venture on to Tanaris, so can't comment on that zone.

Commento di giantgrape

dropped of a basking cobra?wtf? blizzard you lazy bastards. fix your bugs. twice so far this has happened.lmao check that, three times. seems basking cobras feed on the damn things. i dunno, but they drop alot more off them than the scorpids. tanaris btw.

Commento di 1140520

As of patch 5.3.0 these things are ridiculously hard to come by.

I've tried Uldaman, with no luck. The Deadly Cleft Scorpids dropped 1 scale out of one full clearing.

I've tried Tanaris with the Duneclaw scorpids, the same thing happened. Scales rarely dropped.

I've given up on trying to find scales. I'm moving up to the yeti caves in Winterspring to just grind out an absurd amount of thick leather...

Commento di flyingfig

Tanaris is actually a very decent place for farming these up, post-Cata, circa 5.4.2. The northern area, around Sandsorrow Watch, is swarming with scorpids (hint: the cobras also drop scales). Granted, the beasties are not all piled up on each other, but they are plentiful. I managed to collect a little over a stack in about 15 minutes, including about the same amount in thick leather.

Commento di sraray

Once again we skinners can find Scorpid Scale like it used to be in the good old days before the flooding of Thousand Needles. In Tanaris approximate loc starting area 45,25 and there out. <Scorpid cave NW of Gadgetzan>
Happy Hunting!

Commento di Shashos

Mats for the entire Tough Scorpid set are as follows:

80 Scorpid Scale
76 Thick Leather
14 Silken Thread
6 Heavy Silken Thread

Best place for farming is the western-most part of Tanaris where the scorpid mobs and everything 'reptilian', including the fossil mobs, will drop the scales. Just head over and kill whatever moves! You'll need the leather anyway. :)

Commento di afflok

These scales are used to make the Tough Scorpid Leather Set
The patterns used to drop from specific mobs in Tanaris, but are now just zone drops (since Patch 4.3).
The patterns are BoP now as well, so you have to find them yourself (kill everything in Tanaris):
Pettorale Corazzato di Scorpide Indurito - Pattern
Guanti di Scorpide Induriti - Pattern
Bracciali di Scorpide Induriti - Pattern
Gambiere di Scorpide Indurite - Pattern
Spallacci di Scorpide Induriti - Pattern
Elmo di Scorpide Indurito - Pattern
Stivali di Scorpide Induriti - Pattern

Commento di stickshift

Here's an old school selling technique; stacking these in increments of (4) will help move them at the auction house. All the patterns require 4, 8, 12, etc. The mog set is pretty cool-looking and thought the other leatherworkers might try to capitalize on that. So I took all my leftover scales from a hundred years ago and they sold like hotcakes even over the slightly cheaper odd stacks.
