Why Do You Need Leatherworking?

Leatherworking allows you to create leather and mail armor, as well as various auxiliary items for players.

Leatherworkers are especially valued because they can craft:

  • equipment for classes wearing leather and mail
  • armor enhancements (armor kits)
  • rare reagents and tools for other professions

Additionally, leatherworking pairs excellently with skinning, allowing you to gather your own resources and save gold.

Where to Learn Leatherworking?

You can learn this profession from a special NPC.

Leveling Leatherworking from 1 to 67

We have tried to provide you with the fastest and most cost-effective way to level this profession, but you may need slightly more resources since profession leveling involves some degree of randomness. Some yellow and orange recipes may not yield the desired result, so carefully monitor how many resources you have left after crafting each recipe.

You will need to gather the following ingredients:

  2. Game icon Void-Tempered Leatherx930
  3. Game icon Void-Tempered Scalex465
  4. Game icon Piercing Fangx4
  5. Game icon Peerless Plumagex2

Leveling Leatherworking from 67 to 100

After reaching level 67, you will have several paths for further leveling the profession.

The simplest way is to craft profession equipment and various gear available at your current profession level. This method can be expensive but quite fast, as at level 67 you will have several recipes to choose from. Choose the ones whose resources cost less and craft orange and yellow recipes.

Make sure to watch the recipe color when crafting. Remember that yellow and green recipes do not grant profession levels with every craft.

Another way to level is by crafting decor items. This type of crafting may require rare resources, ingots, and wood that you will need to gather. However, you can use the crafted decor later or sell it.
