This guide has two versions. Make sure you pick the one that matches the game you are playing:
WoW Classic
Classic Era, Hardcore, Season of Discovery
Retail WoW
"Vanilla" 1-300 skill bar in current Retail (Midnight)
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.
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
This is NOT a WoW Classic guide. If you play on a Classic Era, Hardcore, or Season of Discovery realm (the standalone WoW Classic client), use my WoW Classic Leatherworking Leveling Guide 1-300 instead.
This page is for the "Classic" 1-300 skill bar in Retail WoW (Midnight). In your in-game profession window in Retail, this is the first skill bar labeled Classic. I call this guide "Vanilla" in the title only to keep it apart from the actual WoW Classic guide above (Blizzard naming both Classic is the reason these two guides get mixed up so often).

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.
