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.

If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend using Zygor's 1-60 Leveling Guide. The guide is in a small window on your main screen in-game. All the detail that you need to complete the quest is included.

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

• 100-125
  40 x Fine Leather Belt - 240 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

  The pattern is sold by these NPCs.

• 155-165
  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.

  • 155-180 - Heavy Armor Kit - 175 Heavy Leather
  • 180-190 - Guardian Pants or Barbaric Leggings - 156 Heavy Leather, 26 Bolt of Silk Cloth or 100 Heavy Leather, 10 Moss Agate

Artisan Leatherworking (205 - 300)

To become an Artisan Leatherworker you need to reach level 35 and level up Leatherworking to 200, then find an Artisan Leatherworking trainer.

Alliance players can learn it from Drakk Stonehand. He is in the main Wildhammer Keep in Aerie Peak of the Hinterlands, North of South Shore. He's sort of to the left inside, and down one layer of stairs.

For Horde players, the Artisan Leatherworking Trainer is Hahrana Ironhide in Feralas at Camp Mojache.

• 205-235
  40 x Nightscape Headband - 200 Thick Leather, 80 Silken Thread

  You need a bit more Silken Thread to make these compared to the Thick Armor kits, but you can sell the Headbands to the vendor for a lot more, so they are actually cheaper than making the armor kits.

  15 x Nightscape Pants - 210 Thick Leather, 60 Silken Thread

• 250-265
  25 x Rugged Armor Kit - 125 Rugged Leather
