WoW Leatherworking guide 1-375

Updated for WoW patch 3.0.3

This WoW Leatherworking guide will show you the fastest and cheapest way how to get your Leatherworking skill up from 1 to 450.

Leatherworking is the best combined with Skinning, but its not required to have skinning aswell. You can buy the materials from AH too, but then make sure you will have enough gold.

If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold. You also need to realize this is not a leveling guide, so if you are looking for a leveling guide, the best one is this 1 - 80 Leveling Guide.

Approximate Materials Required for 1-375:
- 57 Ruined Leather Scraps
- 75 Coarse Thread
- 40 Light Hide
- 40 Salt
- 230 Light Leather
- 370 Medium Leather
- 95 Fine Thread
- 25 Gray Dye
- 30 Heavy Hide
- 305 Heavy Leather
- 20 Bolts Of Silk Cloth
- 385 Thick Leather
- 150 Silken Thread
- 280 Rugged Leather
- 40 Black Dye
- 25 Rune Thread
- 100 Knothide Leather Scarps
- 518 Knothide Leather


Leatherworking Apprentice

    You can make these from 1-30 too, if you don't have Ruined Leather Scraps.


Leatherworking Journeyman - Requires Leatherworking (50)



Leatherworking Expert - Requires Leatherworking (125)


  • 165-170
    5 x [Heavy Armour Kit] - 25 Heavy Leather
  • If you are lucky, you will reach 170 while you are making the Cured Heavy Hides and you can skipp this part.

  • 190-210
    20 x [Guardian Gloves] - 80 Heavy Leather, 20 Cured Heavy Hide, 20 Silken Thread



Specialization

When you reach 225 skill and level 40, you unlock a set of quests. These quests allow you to specialize in various types of armor, which you can make for yourself only. As of patch 2.1.3, you can switch your Leatherworking specialization without losing any skill points and without doing the specialization quest. Here blelow there is the 3 way with each specialization.

Elemantal Leatherworking

The items you create as an Elemantal Leatherworker focus on melee based leather items (agility and attack power).

Dragonscale Leatherworking

This specialisation offers offensive mail items - there are both caster and melee based sets.

Tribal Leatherworking

The Tribal Leatherworking items are all leather items focused on healing.




Leatherworking Artisan - Requires Leatherworking (200)



Leatherworking Master - Requires Leatherworking (275)


  • 340-350
    14 x [Scaled Draenic Boots] - 168 Knothide Leather, 28 Fel Scales, 42 Rune Thread

    This recipe goes yellow at 345, so you will need to make a few extra ones. I suggest gathering enough materials for 14.

  • 350-450
