This Leatherworking leveling guide will show you the fastest way how to level your Leatherworking skill up from 1 to 300 as inexpensively as possible.
Professions skills are split between expansions now, you'll have a separate skill bar for each expansion. This guide is for the "Vanilla" Leatherworking skill in the current retail version of World of Warcraft. I have a separate guide for Classic WoW, so if you are looking for that, visit my Classic WoW Leatherworking leveling guide.
Often the materials are based on a case that you will gain one skill point for each craft. This won't happen, so you will have to buy a few extra materials while you are leveling your Leatherworking.
Approximate materials required
- 57 Ruined Leather Scraps
- 15 Medium Hide
- 260 Light Leather
- 160 Medium Leather
- 20 Heavy Hide
- 220 Heavy Leather
- 410 Thick Leather
- 410 Rugged Leather
Playing WoW Classic?
Visit my Classic WoW Leatherworking leveling guide 1-300 if you are looking for the Classic WoW guide. Profession skills are split between expansions in the latest World of Warcraft expansion, you'll have a separate skill bar for each expansion, and you can level them separately. This guide is for the "Vanilla" Leatherworking skill in Shadowlands.

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Leatherworking.
Check out my farming guides if you want to farm the leathers instead of buying them. You can start with Light Leather farming.
NOTE: You can buy the threads, dyes, and salt from Leatherworking Supply vendors near your trainer.
