Try farming outside the Aborstone, the wardens there seem to drop Tanned Hide Squares fairly often.

I use a standard 55 build,

PS
HB
SoJ
Zealots
Mend Ailment (Used for extra healing + Removing Bleeding)
Balths
Mending
Blessed Aura

Works pretty well =)

Yeah wardens outside Altruum ruins definately works..I salvaged the white armors that dropped as well since they will give you tanned hides. I used a similar build as mother goose but I threw in balanced stance for the KDs.

Arborstone Explorable, SB Monk seems to work better. This is because it allows you to tank more Monsters without fear of getting overwhelmed. But sometimes they don't deal enough damage.

You could probably get 1k tanned hide in ~2 hours of farming in arborstone.

I have never tried Arborstone outside Altrumm, but Arborstone outside Tanglewood Copse seems to be alot more faster. More wardens in bigger mobs.

Need to unlock lots of outposts by playing missions...

depending on how much leather you need, it might be easier to go to Bergen Hot Springs and farm Skeleton Archers there on Nebo. Lots of armor drops, which expert salvage to hide squares by ~1/3.

Snake dance north of Rankor has many many tundra giants. They drop boots often that will salvage into iron/hides/steel, and in a lot of cases have various runes. I take a 55 mo/w with balanced stance & SoJ.
Arborstone is the best location though for just hides. Getting there can be a pain in the fundament though.
