Classic 20th Anniversary Leatherworking 1–300

In WoW Classic Fresh realms, Leatherworking crafts pre-raid BiS like Devilsaur sets and resistance kits, arming Rogues, Hunters, and Druids for Molten Core pushes. Self-skinned leathers fuel these crafts amid phase 1-5 AH spikes. With curing hides gating mid-game progress, how do leatherworkers align farms for max skill and vendor flips?

Leatherworking's Hide Hammer

Leatherworking tans skinned leathers and hides into armor (agi/int), armor kits (+armor temp enchants), and specialized sets. Mechanism: Cure hides with salt first; convert excess lower-tier leather into higher tiers (e.g., Medium to Heavy at 150 skill).

Application: Tanks layer Frost Resistance Kits for Onyxia; Hunters vendor Nightscape items for quick gold. Fresh guilds bid for resistance helms in phase 3. Expert Insight: Potential risk—heavy hide rarity stalls progress at 180+ without Skinning; optimal path: Overfarm Medium beasts pre-150 and convert to Heavy for 20% mat savings.

Reagents & Skinning Farms

Skinning synergy yields 90% of your materials. While threads, salt, and dyes are cheap at vendors, hides are the primary bottleneck.

Minimum 1-300 Materials (Efficient Path):

Prime Leather Farms:

Streamlined 1-300 Leveling Path

Train Apprentice/Journeyman in cities. Expert: Telonis (Darnassus) / Una (Thunder Bluff). Artisan (lvl 35/200): Drakk (Hinterlands) / Hahrana (Feralas).

Phased Crafts:

Tip: 20-30 hours if self-skinned; always convert leathers during mid-game lulls.

Specialization Tanning Paths

At 225 skill and level 40, you can choose one specialization. Switching requires unlearning the profession and re-leveling (or the Tanaris book).

Expert Insight: Tribal is usually the highest gold earner due to Devilsaur Leggings demand. Survey your raid roster before committing.

Endgame Tans & Fresh Vendor Flips

• Barbaric Shoulders: High vendor value relative to mats in Phase 2.

• Nightscape Headband: Consistent 19s vendor profit per craft.

• Rugged Armor Kits: Essential for every raider entering Molten Core.

WoW Classic Fresh Leatherworking FAQs

How do I level Leatherworking 1-300 most efficiently?

Combine Skinning farms with orange-difficulty crafts: Kits/Gloves early, Nightscape mid-game, and Wicked Leather late-game. Expect roughly 20 hours of focused work. Fresh tip: Stockpile Thick Leather via Hinterlands loops before Phase 3 hits.

What is the best pairing for Leatherworking?

Skinning—it supplies 100% of your hides and 90% of your leather, keeping costs under 50g total for the entire 1-300 grind.

When can I train Artisan Leatherworking?

Skill 200 and level 35. Alliance: Drakk Stonehand (Hinterlands /way 13, 43). Horde: Hahrana Ironhide (Feralas /way 74, 43).

How costly is Leatherworking on Fresh without Skinning?

It can cost between 300-800g for leather alone. Mitigate this by vendoring Nightscape Headbands for a steady 19s profit per craft.

What are top profit Leatherworking crafts?

Barbaric Shoulders (vendor flip), Nightscape items, and post-specialization gear like Devilsaur or Corehound Boots.

How do Leatherworking specializations work?

Complete quests at level 40 with 225 skill. Tribal involves the "Wild Leather" chain in Feralas. Choose based on your guild's needs or market demand.
