I'm trying to get the materials out for my Primeval Armor just asking for the best place to farm for salvage items that salvage into these materials, Thanks.

Necromancer mobs that drop bone staves, and Charr for easy salvageable leather drops.

But, I find it hard to be more precise because unlike other games it's difficult to nail down where most items are likely to drop in higher quantities.

Check these pages on the wiki, which tell you what drops them or items that salvage into them.

If you have Factions right outside Tanglewood there are about 4 groups of wardens that drop tann hides a lot.

If you've got prophecies, you can get a ton of hides from Centaur armor drops in Deldrimore Bowl outside Beacon's Perch.

Warden's in arbourstone explorable for hide and the oink farming run in Gates of Kryta for bones.

One run through the Desolation usually gives me a stack (or close to) of bones.
Same thing for tanned hide through Witman's Folly.

Yea, those awakened guys in the desolation drop bones fairly often, I would suggest going there for the bones.

I've found that the "dead sword" run in the shattered ravines is a great place to get bones...usually a stack within 25 minutes or so...

going as a 55 monk that is.

hope it helps

The afflicted in cantha also tend to drop a fair amount of bones.

I'll second the "dead sword" run for bones and hides. Usually about 2 stacks of bones per run. 1/2 stack of tanned hides per run.

You can farm a huge amount of bones by soloing the D'Alessio Seaboard mission. The majority of the mobs you meet are undead which either drop bones or drop items that can be salvaged into bones. When you get to the Temple of Tolerance you have to defend Confessor Dorian from wave after wave of lvl 11 - 16 undead. It helps if you can dish out holy damage as this gives double damage against undead - this makes it really easy, and you can get nice healing if you stay close to the Temple. Dorian himself is a pretty good lvl 20 monk and he has a couple of lvl 15 White Mantle to help you.

This is my favourite easy farming spot as you are using NPC's to help you and they don't steal your drops!
