LOTRO Tricks - Great Hide Farming Spots : LOTRO - Guides

Great spots for excellent hides:

darkish333 suggested starkhath in goblin town side of MM

But I liked:

anywhere in forochel particulalily the two cat dens

the ravine of cave claws in angmar by the seven swords guy

the wargs and cave crawlers on plateau by mustering horn in angmar by BG

bad thing about his spot is there are always people running through there doing exploration deeds and three or so quests right there plus those doing the warg deed and finding caldwell pond full up go there too as it is so well known

nothing really to confirm there already is a slayer guide: http://lorebook.lotro.com/wiki/Slayer_Deed_Hunting_Locations which has the "best" spots for finding mobs then for hides you find the right level for which hide you need

which is _roughly_

1-13/14 light
13/14-23/34 medium
23/24 - 33/34 sturdy
33/34 -43/44 pristine
43/44 -53/54 exceptional
53/54 and above extraordinary and magnificent

since there are so many spots that drop these hides a player should find a virtue they need that comes from a hide dropping mob and combine hide farming and getting virtue in one..........

Good spots for pristine hides:
Caldwell pond in misty mountain
wargs near aughaire
Drauglad in trollshaws for wolf deed

good spots for sturdy hides
cave crawlers by Toki in trollshaws
mobs in evendim bear den by ost forod
wargs in kingsfell

good spots for medium hides:
wolf dens behind the forsaken in in the midgewater pass area
Brandyhills in NW Bree-land (good spot for silver ore too)
barghest deed in the barrow downs

good spot for light hides
doing wolf deed in shire by Dora's farm at wolf den
doing wolf deed in ered luin by lake near nen hilith
cave claws by thorins gate

500 to you and moved to confirmed.
