Classic WoW Leatherworking Leveling Guide 1-300

This Classic WoW Leatherworking Leveling Guide will show you the fastest and cheapest way how to level your Leatherworking skill up from 1 to 300.

Leatherworking is the best combined with Skinning, and I highly recommend to level these professions together. It will be a lot easier to get the needed leathers if you have Skinning. You can also just buy the materials at the Auction House, but then you will need a lot of gold.

Leatherworking guide sections:

• Leatherworking Trainer Location
• Apprentice
• Journeyman
• Expert
• Artisan

Approximate Materials Required:

NOTE: You can buy the threads, dyes, and salt from Leatherworking Supply vendors near your trainer.

• 57 Ruined Leather Scraps
• 390 Light Leather
• 275 Medium Leather
• 20 Heavy Hide
• 195 Heavy Leather
• 450 Thick Leather
• 440 Rugged Leather

  50 x Embossed Leather Gloves - 150 Light Leather, 100 Coarse Thread

• 100-125
  40 x Fine Leather Belt - 160 Light Leather, 80 Coarse Thread

  Make as many Cured Medium Hide as you can if you farmed leathers and you got some Medium Hide. (or if it's cheap at the Auction House)

  Keep both the Fine Leather Belt and the Cured Medium Hide because you can make Dark Leather Belt with them.

• 125-137
  15 x Dark Leather Boots - 60 Medium Leather, 30 Fine Thread, 15 Gray Dye

  Make as many Dark Leather Belt as you can if you made some Cured Medium Hide.

Expert Leatherworking - (137 - 205)

To become an Expert Leatherworker you need to reach level 20 and level up Leatherworking to 125, then find an Expert Leatherworking trainer.

You can learn Expert Leatherworking from Telonis in Darnassus (Alliance) and Una in Thunder Bluff (Horde).

• 137-150
  20 x Dark Leather Pants - 240 Medium Leather, 20 Gray Dye, 20 Fine Thread

  20 x Cured Heavy Hide - 20 Heavy Hide, 60 Salt

  You will need the Cured Heavy Hides later.

  Below you can find an alternative way if you don't have any Heavy Hides at all, which is usually the case since Heavy Hide has a pretty low drop rate. But if for example, you can get 5 Heavy Hides, you should stop making Barbaric Leggings at 195 and start making Guardian Gloves.
