Leatherworking guide · WoW Forever

Before you begin

Leatherworking climbs on leather, thread and salt. This road names the exact count for every step and where the vendor patterns are sold for your faction.

Skinning is the natural partner: cure your own hides and you save most of the cost.

Good to know

  • Skinning is the natural partner. Cure your own hides. Some steps need a vendor or quest pattern.
  • Expert Leatherworking (skill 125): Telonis (Alliance, Darnassus) / Una (Horde, Thunder Bluff).
  • Artisan Leatherworking (skill 200, character level 35): Drakk Stonehand (Alliance, Hinterlands) / Hahrana Ironhide (Horde, Feralas).
  • Orange always gives a point, yellow usually does, green only now and then. The counts include spares for the yellow and green crafts.

Light Leather

Stop at30

Make 32 to go from 1 to 30. It is orange until 20 and yellow after that. Most yellow crafts still give a point; the count has a few spares for the ones that do not. You know the recipe from the start.
