Midnight Leatherworking Guide: Recipes & Knowledge Points

This guide covers all of Midnight Leatherworking. You'll find every weekly and one-time Knowledge source, profession equipment, renown-gated recipes, and full recipe lists for leather and mail armor, embellishments, leg armors, drums, reagents, and house decor.

Midnight Leatherworking Changes

If you already played The War Within, here's what changed. Most of the system is the same, so you won't have trouble adapting.

• Artisan Leatherworker's Moxie - The BoP currency Artisan's Acuity that you got from earning profession Knowledge in The War Within has been changed to a profession-specific currency, Artisan Leatherworker's Moxie. You can now only use it for Leatherworking-specific recipes.

• No More Bronze Quality Reagents - Bronze-quality reagents and consumables have been removed in Midnight. All reagents and consumables now only have two quality levels: Silver and Gold. This means you will always get at least a Silver-quality item, and you can use your Concentration right away to craft Gold-quality items.

  Weapons, armor, and profession equipment still have 5 ranks.

• Epic Profession Tools - New Epic-quality profession tools are available. They give the same Skill as Rare tools, but have higher secondary stats like Resourcefulness, Multicraft, and Ingenuity.

• Fewer Crafting Reagents - In The War Within, you needed multiple elemental leather types as crafting reagents. Midnight simplifies this down to one leather type, so your material list is much shorter.

Weekly Leatherworking Knowledge in Midnight

In Midnight, there are four weekly sources of profession knowledge, giving you ~31 Knowledge Points per week. This is an estimate, though. Patron Orders require crafting specific items at high quality, so your actual weekly total will be lower if you don't have the recipe or can't hit the quality target.

Source	Details
Patron Crafting Orders (~24 KP)	You earn the majority of your weekly knowledge points by completing Patron Crafting Orders. You will receive Glimmer of Midnight Leatherworking Knowledge for completing some of them, but not all of them will reward you with knowledge points.
Weekly Quest (2 KP)	Your profession trainer will offer a weekly quest that asks you to complete 3 Crafting Orders. This rewards a Thalassian Leatherworker's Journal worth 2 Knowledge Points and resets every week.
Weekly Drops (4 KP)	Each week, you can loot 1 of each of the following items from treasures scattered around the new zones: Thalassian Mana Oil and Amani Tanning Oil.
Inscription Treatise (1 KP)	To get a Thalassian Treatise on Leatherworking, you need to submit a Public Crafting Order since they are bind-on-pickup (BoP). Treatises are Warbound, so if you have an alt with Inscription, you can craft them and send them to your main.
Catch-up System	If you fall behind or start late, you will receive Flicker of Midnight Leatherworking Knowledge from orders until you are caught up, so don't worry if you miss a week, you aren't permanently behind.

One-Time Leatherworking Knowledge in Midnight

Here is every one-time source of Leatherworking Knowledge in the Midnight expansion. These treasures are the fastest way to get Knowledge Points for your profession specialization, so you should collect them as soon as possible. Each treasure is a one-time pickup per character.

Renown Knowledge Book

Whisper of the Loa: Leatherworking is sold by the Amani Tribe Renown Quartermaster Magovu in Zul'Aman.

Compared to The War Within, there is only one profession knowledge book you can unlock with renown in Midnight. There are no hidden vendors.

Midnight Leatherworking Treasures

There are 8 Leatherworking treasures in Midnight. Collecting them provides 24 Knowledge Points in total. They are located in Silvermoon City, Zul'Aman, Harandar and Voidstorm.

Leatherworking Specializations

There are four specialization trees available. You will unlock access to them at Leatherworking skill levels 25, 50, 60, and 75.

I have a separate guide that explains each specialization in detail and recommends the best builds for different playstyles.

Midnight Leatherworking Specialization Guide & Best Builds

Profession Equipment

Epic profession tools are new in Midnight. In The War Within, professions only had Green and Rare tools. Epic tools give the same Skill as Rare, but have higher secondary stats like Resourcefulness, Multicraft, and Ingenuity.

Profession Gear for Leatherworkers

Leatherworkers can craft their own chest accessory, but you will need to get the knife and the toolset from a Blacksmith.

Slot	Crafted By	Green Quality	Blue Quality	Epic Quality
Accessory	Leatherworking	Hideworker's Cover	Sin'dorei Leathershaper's Smock	Thalassian Hideshaper's Regalia
Accessory	Blacksmithing	Thalassian Leatherworker's Toolset	Sun-Blessed Leatherworker's Toolset	Sunforged Leatherworker's Toolset
Tool	Blacksmithing	Thalassian Leatherworker's Knife	Sun-Blessed Leatherworker's Knife	Sunforged Leatherworker's Knife

Craftable Profession Equipment

Leatherworkers can craft profession equipment for Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Engineering, Herbalism, Jewelcrafting, Leatherworking, and Skinning.

Green Recipes

Green quality profession equipment is not soulbound, so you can craft and sell them on the Auction House. You learn these recipes from the profession trainer.

Blue and Purple Recipes

Recipes for the Blue and Epic quality equipment are sold by Zaralda in Silvermoon City for 150 Artisan Leatherworker's Moxie each. The crafted items are Soulbound, so you cannot sell them on the Auction House. You must use the Crafting Order system to craft them for other players.

Skill bonus: Both Epic and Blue profession gear provide the same Skill bonus. The Epic versions only offer higher secondary stats.

Mail & Leather Armor

Here is the full list of new armor sets available in Midnight. Most of the Rare gear is learned from your trainer and is great for leveling.

Reagents & Optional Reagents

Reagents are more streamlined this expansion. Scalewoven Hide is crafted using both types of rare leather. The Infused Scalewoven Hide is a universal reagent that requires four different elemental types to craft, replacing the need for multiple element-specific hides.

House Decor

Player Housing is huge in Midnight, and Leatherworkers can craft a bunch of furniture for it. You can make rugs, beds, and other leather-themed items.

These are all cosmetic and BoE, so you can sell them on the Auction House.
