Leatherworking is
a profession that allows you to create armor and other
utility items for yourself or other
players. It is best leveled with Skinning
since most of the materials needed for Leatherworking are
the materials skinned from mobs. This WoW Leatherworking Guide
will help you quickly level your leatherworking skill to
450 and it assumes you have skinning as your other
profession.
To start
leatherworking, you need to start by training at one of
the listed trainers that matches your
faction.
Leatherworking is
a unique type of profession. It is designed for
you to level the profession parallel to leveling your
character. It is the one
profession that can be easily leveled without much effort
since you skin the mobs as you kill
them. For the purpose of
this WoW Leatherworking Guide, we will show you how to
level your Leatherworking as if you are a high level
character and you are in need of quickly leveling to
450. Hopefully you have
enough gold to cover the expenses, or you will need to go
throughout the zones skinning the
mobs. This method will
allow you to sit outside the auction house and level
without hopping from zone to zone.
These are the
materials you will need from the auction house. It takes
a lot of bag space for all of these, so the best thing to
do is buy the materials as you level.
