drops off of some of the boss's in Sccholomance and is required for the libram of focus, legplates of the chromatic defiler, breastplate of bloodthirst, and this quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=8829.

Got one of these from a Risen Construct.

best farmed off risen constructs. easy to get to, hard to beat. so bring a friend with you and it'll be easy peasy.

just picked up 2 in one run, killed all construct cept for one.

Risen Construct. 17% drop rate.

Soloable at 70 (for mages at least). I can, from the beginning of the instance, clear the room, snag a couple skins in about 15 minutes, run out, reset, and repeat.

17% drop rate is bollocks. .. I cleared the entire room by Rattlegore and not one dropped.

Do you have to be on the quest for these to drop, or is it just random?

Comentado por 140328

just started solo farming these on a feral druid (borderline fresh 70 gear + pvp blues, etc)...

i've been killing risen constructs + rattlegore. After two runs in, clearing rattlegore's room, i'm up to one skin. A single drop. I'm not sure how many mobs that is (around 10 - 12, boss included) but NRG definitely is in strong effect here.

Hope i get lucky tomorrow. =/

Loot is completly random. Sometimes in 3 runs not a single drop and next time every single mob drops it.

I had several of these in my bank for over a year, having no idea what they were for. Now I am leveling a priest and picked up a libram of focus in DM while farming enchanting mats. I wish I hadn't deleted the skins lol.

If you don't want to get the key, the best way to get in is to duel a warlock and have them use hellfire on them self and rez inside the door. then use the torch to open it. If you dont have a lock, build a basic campfire outside the door and stand on it after the duel.

this is one of the most useless drops i have come across. i am a lvl 77 death knight that does engineering and i farm scholomance very often and after i picked my first skin of shadow up i had no idea wot it did so i tried too sell it but vendors don't want it. for anyone who doesn't wear mail or do blacksmithing it's just dead weight in your bag.

I did 5runs and got 11Skins. Killed Risen Constructs, and then Razor for the key. Headed to Darkmaster Gandling area. Killed Lady Illucia Barov, and her Risen Bonewarder, they can drop them aswell. Killed Instructor Malicia, plus Lorekeeper Polkelt. And then went ahead and killed Darkmaster Gandling for his chance to drop ace of portal. Also dont forget those bosses also drop BOE blues which DE into LBS. So it's a win win for this instance!

FYI if Darkmaster Gandling doesnt emote and spawn after you clear all the bosses, you will need to clear Instructor Malicia trash, and then he will spawn.

The fastest path I've found to farm these, in enough detail so you can do it too:

Enter the instance. Walk down the stairs.

You're standing on a bridge with some Risen Guards. The door you want to enter is directly below you. Pick a side and jump down, then hug the wall to reach the Iron Gate. Note that you can use various chunks of the walls as ledges to land on.

Enter the Iron Gate. (For future reference, Iron Gates don't have a cast time - you can open them by just running into them while right-clicking wildly.) You'll find yourself in a library with some patrolling skeletons (kill or avoid, whatever's fastest.) Turn left and walk through an open gate into a room full of Plagued Hatchlings. Turn to the left - there's a pit on the wall with a glowing orb next to it. WAIT ON THE EDGE OF THE PIT, make sure you're not in combat, then jump down into the pit. If you don't do this you may end up with two entire rooms of monsters pouncing on you while you're in combat.

Now you're in a room filled with exactly twelve Risen Constructs. They're why you're here. Kill and loot. Take it a bit easy - they do more damage than you might expect, and pulling the entire room at once might result in your death, even at 80. You'll get about one Skin per run - awesome, no? Rattlegore himself doesn't actually drop anything useful, and he has an annoying knockback attack that will keep you from clustering the corpses easily, so don't bother with him. Time to leave.

There's only one exit to this room - take it. It goes back to the whelp room. Again, avoid or kill, whatever's fastest. Back in the library, head to the end (there's a lot of green candles there) and turn right, to another Iron Gate that you have to open. Enter the "Chamber of Summoning", walk forward for another guard, another Iron Gate, a short angled passage, and another Iron Gate leading to "The Reliquary".

Head up the staircase to the right. Open the door and run for the exit (it's probably faster than killing the two Risen Guards who will quite possibly jump you, just keep going.)

Reset instance, re-enter.

Have fun.

----

Pretty nice, no? You're clearing pretty fast? And then suddenly it turns out you're clearing faster than one instance per 12 minutes, and you get locked out.

Let's kick things up a notch.

Kill Rattlegore also, and loot a key from him. (And a blue, if you want.) Head back into the library, then, instead of continuing on to the Iron Gate series, go back into the room you came from. On the far right wall there is a locked door. Go inside - you now have the key. You'll find yourself in a room full of neutral unattackable students. There's an Iron Gate to your left - go through it, follow the path, marvel at the candles. Enter the Headmaster's Study. Head to the bottom floor, turn left, go into the room, kill and loot the four Bonewarders and Lady Illucia Barov, all of whom may drop skins.

The other bosses in the north and south rooms, on both floors, may also drop skins, though their trash won't. Of note is that the trash in the top south room, Scholomance Occultists, will gain a total invulnerability to physical attacks after they get low on health. If you can't do magic damage easily, don't bother with this room (you can reset them in the water in the room below them if you accidentally pull them, but seriously, just stay away.)

Once you're done with that, trace your steps back and exit the same way as before.

----

If you want to be slightly cleverer: jump off the right side of the original bridge, go through the door using the key you got last time, then kill Rattlegore and loot the key for next time.

That's pretty much it. The drop rate sucks.

If you're farming this for Insane in the Membrane, just limit the run to the Rattlegore room.
I usually get 2 skins per run, which takes me 5 minutes max (thanks to ZorbaTHut pointing out that you can just drop down at the start of the instance, saves some time).
Do that 5 times and you'll have ~10 skins in less than 30 minutes.

Most people will say: "But then you can't do the instance anymore, you'll be locked out. Instance limit, etc".

Who cares? There's also the Blood of Heroes and Frayed Abomination Stitches.
When you're 'done' in Scholomance, just head out, scout EPL for Blood (I use TomTom for it, really recommend it to anyone) and head to Stratholme to farm for Stitches (take the 'rear entrance').

Even if you don't need Stitches, running in around in EPL looking for Blood will keep you occupied for a good while, so the instance limit will be lifted.
When you're done, return to Scholomance again and repeat the cycle.

As an 80 rogue, this is super easy. I managed to kill all mobs/bosses (Lady Illucia Barov, The Ravenian, Instructor Malicia,
Lorekeeper Polkelt, Risen Bonewarders, and Risen Constructs) that drop skins in 5 minutes (including zoning out). You don't have to worry about aggro too much since you can vanish. I just beelined to the whelp room and vanished while i dropped down below to the Risen Constructs. I saved sprint for the constructs to gather all of them up and Rattlegore and just FoK'd them down and looted fast. After that, I went back up and stealthed plus sprint through the whelp room and stayed stealth until i got to the viewing room door. You can position yourself on a ledge to the left or right of the viewing room door to unlock it and you shouldn't get aggro. Then, you just make your way to the other four bosses (left/right rooms of both floors). You can ignore the trash before Malicia and Ravenian. For Polkelt, I just run in there and FoK everything and maybe, Cloak while your at it. And, for Lady Barov, you FoK everything in there too because the Bonewarders drop the skins as well. When your zoning out, you just beeline to exit. Even if you aggro a lot of mobs, you shouldn't die especially with sprint and vanish at your disposal.

Rattlegore's room has 12 Risen Constructs, each has a 13% chance of dropping Skin of Shadow. Dropping down off the bridge, dropping into the bone pit, killing them all, and then running back out takes about 5 minutes.

That's an average of 1.56 Skin of Shadow per run. 7.8 Skins per trip of 5 runs/25 minutes. What I'm doing for Insane in the Membrane is I fly into WPL, search Blood of Heroes spawn points on my way to Scholo, do 5 clears, then do all the rest of the circuit for Bloods through WPL and then EPL, then hit up Abom Stitchings (if I need them, 17 of those stocked up since Librams of Protection only use 1 of those per turnin).

there is still time until the Shendralar removing, so here is my small guide for farming Skin of Shadow.

1) enter the dungeon, open the door http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/6668/54616193.jpg
2) turn left and open another one http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/3695/56010351.jpg
3) run forward, open the 3rd door http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/4483/33393524.jpg
4) run forward again, open the 4th door, you will see alot of whelpings in the room. http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/4166/96522630.jpg
5) kill them all or pass and be sure that you didnt aggro anyone or they will follow you and bring more http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/7025/80796087.jpg there are 8 holes in this room; jump down there
6) kill all of adds and boss - they can drop Skin of Shadow http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/2843/74148079.jpg also dont forget to loot the boss for key, you will need it.
7) open iron gates http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/1765/13006425.jpg
8) go back to the whelp room, to the opened door http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/1448/57272528.jpg
9) turn right, open iron gates http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/8105/46718994.jpg
10) open the door with the key http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8325/83859436.jpg
11) turn LEFT and open iron gates. http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/7829/29858647.jpg
12) run forward a bit and you will enter th room with 6 bosses. kill all of them and adds - they have a chance to drop the skin too.

This will take around 10 min depending on your level. Now you can invite someone in a group and leave, you will be ported to the nearest graveyard. The droprate is around 2 skins per run

It seems these no longer drop from anything in Scholomance, which is unfortunate if you find yourself trying to craft Shifting Cloak post-Cataclysm.

As of patch 4.0.6 these will be completely obsolete. As quoted from the Patch Notes:

Skin of Shadow has finally been removed from its last two recipes, making your stockpile of them worthless. Reclaim that bank slot now!

Obsolete, or unobtainable?
