WoW Leatherworking Guide 1-375
Leatherworking Overview Leatherworkers often double up with the Skinning tradeskill. They can skin beasts that they have slain and use the leather to create armor for themselves and others. Leatherworkers are able to craft an extensive amount of Epic quality armors, both Bind on Pickup and Bind on Equip. They are also able to use Drums – usable items that give short duration group buffs. Leatherworking Specialization At skill level 200, a Leatherworker is able to choose a specialization. The options are Elemental Leatherworking, Tribal Leatherworking, and Dragonscale Leatherworking. |
Elemental Leatherworkers tend to craft items that increase their resists to different schools of magic. At max. skill level they can make Epic quality Belt, Bracers and Chest called “Primalstrike” that is best suited for Rogues and Feral Druids.
Tribal Leatherworkers tend to craft items with Intellect and Stamina bonuses. At max. skill level they can make Epic quality Belt, Bracers and Chest called “Windhawk” that is best suited for Balance and Restoration Druids.
Dragonscale Leatherworkers specialize in crafting Mail armor, as opposed to leather. At max. skill level they can make Epic quality Mail Belt, Bracers and Chest armor of two distinct varieties. The Ebon Netherscale armor is geared towards Hunters and Enhancement Shamans, whereas the Netherstrike armor is geared towards Elemental Shamans.
