This Leatherworking Guide was made to help you level from 1-450 in the most efficient way possible.
Leatherworking Introduction
To start you’ll have to go to a major city and find a leatherworking trainer (just ask a guard for directions). Once you find the trainer train “Apprentice Leatherworking” and you are ready to start!
The components needed for leatherworking are derived from skinning. If you don’t want to take on skinning as a profession you can buy everything you need to complete this guide in your local auction house.
The “Components Required” listed in all of the sections of the guide are the components required to make one of the certain item you are crafting. Good luck and here is the rest of the guide.
