WoW Cataclysm Leatherworking Guide

This guide is updated for patch 4.0.3a.

This WoW Leatherworking Guide was made to help you level from 1-525.

You'll find that with this guide you'll be making lots of different items, only crafting items 5 or 10 times before you move onto another. I find that this is the best way to level up Leatherworking, using lots of orange skill ups when they become available.

Now if you are planning on Skinning for mats for this guide I'll warn you that you will be Skinning for a pretty long time. I recommend that you buy as much as you can off the Auction House, to save yourself time. If you can't afford to do that look at this gold guide, it will help you get the gold you need to be able to do that.

The end if here at last! While you are leveling these last levels you'll likely notice that there are different patterns that are the same skill range that you can use to craft besides what I have listed. For example, from 375-385 I have Arctic Boots listed but when you train you'll probably notice that you can craft Iceborn Gloves, Frostscale Belt, and even some others possibly. Feel free to craft these other items but just make sure they are within the same skill range as the item I tell you to craft.

BTW if your gold stocks have finally been depleted don't fret, take a look at this gold guide, I'm sure it'll help you out!
