1313 Monitor Lizards (Best Farming Source)
1414  
1515 The most efficient way to farm Sturdy Hide is by hunting monitor lizards along the riverbed in the Crimson Desert region. The best farming spot is the stream northwest of Tashcal. Monitor lizards spawn along the riverbed and can be found by moving upstream.

1717 Each monitor lizard drops 1 to 3 Sturdy Hide when skinned. The supply is not super abundant, but you can expect to gather at least 5 Sturdy Hide within 5 to 10 minutes of working your way up the riverbed. This is enough to make meaningful progress toward most crafting requirements.
