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

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.

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