Fastest Way to get Unidentified Items

What are these "Dragonskins" and where can I get them?

[KinGurie]

A Timeworn Dragonskin Map can be acquired by gatherers from level 60 nodes as a miner or botanist, or from certain fishing spots that typically also have level 60 fish. Only one map can be acquired via gathering every 18 hours, so people that want more buy them off the market board from other players.

Do note, dragonskin maps produce groups of enemies that tend to be a bit much for a solo player to handle. The game recommends taking them on as a party of 8 players, but they can be done with 3 or so people fairly easily. Unidentifiable items are added to the loot list which anyone can roll for if more than one person is in the party when the chest is open. (Other items like crystals and basic crafting mats are randomly awarded to people in the party.) If you want to do dragonskin maps, make sure to do them in a group with people you can trust and establish ground rules for loot. The most typical arrangement I see is that the person who brought any given map gets dibs on the drops that go to the loot list.

By contrast, archaeoskin and wyvernskin maps are easily soloable.
