WoW Leatherworking Guide

An excellent leatherworking guide. Used up to 350 in 3 days. 200g on amun thul of mats to 300, and had a crap load of knothide I had saved up after that.

One thing I will say, it doesnt incoporate the heavy knowhide armor kit. Available at 350, cost you 3 knothide leather with NOT EXOTIC INGREDIENTS, turns yellow at 355 and green at 360.

Muech cheaper than the scaled Draenic boots and riding crops suggested

Master qt's require about some 10 Wildvine

Drums of battle mats are 4 Heavy Clefthoof Leather and 6 Heavy knothide. Also you only need to be honored to get them.

i like the guide, however could you include more information on the three different specialties of leatherworking? i'm new to the game and the information would be appreciated.

This guide is spot on for about 99% of getting to skill 300. The only suggestion I have is from 255 to 275 to try to get the pattern for Heavy Scorpid Bracers from Silithus. This is a cheap and guaranteed way to go through these skill levels.

This guide is a bit lacklustre tbh doesnt take into account light or medium hides at all for a start (simply curing them can get u points at some levels) at 133 hillmans shoulders are better to make for example if you have some medium hides as they take 4 medium leather each rather than the 12 required for the dark leather pants as the guide suggests

would recommend using with a dose of common sense.

Overall this is a good guide. thou there is room for improvement depending on your server. Around 225 i found there was a lot of other items to make that would be much much easier/cheaper to make. The turtle scales are costly, on my server at least. and it takes a lot of time to collect 112 scales. At this point I made a few other things, mostly Armor Kits. these are useful to yourself and sell on the AH easily enough, where as a lot of the other equipment doesn't sell or sells at a low low price due to the high volume of players on my server (Smolderthorn)
Overall good guide thou. :) oh, and skinning may take time, yes. but someone has to do it ;) and hey its only a few seconds, and 75% of the mobs you kill when questing can be skinned. :)

As of 2.4 you only need to be Honored with the appropriate faction to pick up the drums patterns.

Guide is severly outdated. Needs to be revised and updated.

USELESS !!

the mats provided in the guide doesnt match the level increase -

lol... Of course it doesn't. He can't possibly know if every single thing you create gives you a skillpoint as well. The guide is made from the point of view that with every creation you gain a skillpoint. What did you expect?!

Tbh, the Guide is useful, the mats provided in the guide MATCH the level increase, atleast they did when i trained my LW on my rogue 0-375 with this guide.

followed the guide with a few deviations here and there.

all in all cost me about 1700-2000g to get to 360 in 2 days time. This is without touching a single primal. without doing annoying side quests, and without specalizing in a specific branch of leatherworking. Very simple. Very expensive, but also worth it if you know what you're doing with it.

now i've got to level-grind up an alt with mining/skinning to keep my self stocked up to level my professions again when WOTLK comes out, not to mention actually make some money back from this investment. Without the guide, you would spend 2k easily and waste probably an extra 2-3 days running around doing meaningless quests and buying pointless patterns off of the AH.

It's more easy if you are a skinner you can just skinn the things you need and then you can make them for leatherworking easy :)

Me and my friend are Tauren druids and both have skinning, and whenever we kill something thats skinnable we skin it and get more hides. Thus I don't have to buy leather for my leatherworking, its much better for those who are poor in WOW like me :(

They are going by if you where buying all the mats from the auction house. @

From 350 on you can make drums of restoration which are a lot easier than riding crops, and it's kurenai rep.

Try making more of Knothide Leather, Heavy Knothide and Heavy Clefthoof Leather when you are able to until you make all the mats you need for crafting items later. i created Knothide Leather to make 10 more skill points. Now I'm 320 and only created 1 Bracer. the rest were Knothide Leather and Armor Kit.
