WoW Leatherworking Leveling Guide 1 - 600
= Welcome to Leatherworking =
This WoW Leatherworking guide will show you the fastest and cheapest way how to level your Leatherworking skill up from 1 to 600. Updated for WoW patch 5.4


Leatherworking is the best combined with Skinning, it's not required to have skinning, but it's strongly recommended. Check out the Skinning Leveling Guide if you want to level Skinning. You can also buy the materials at the Auction House, but then make sure you have enough gold.
Thanks to wow-professions for their [http://www.wow-professions.com/wowguides/wow-leatherworking-guide.html leveling guide]. We have edited the guide specifically for the needs of the AIE Craft Faire. If you are leveling your profession on your own, you would do well to follow the original WoW-Professions guide linked above.


If you are low on gold, I recommend you to try this Gold Making Guide, it can help you to make loads of gold.
'''We will be located in the Walk of Elders (coords 84,80) right by the Leatherworking trainer in Silvermoon.  Click for [http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y507/QuotedNevermore/AIE%20-%20Craft%20Faire/Fall2014-MAPnew_zps2cb60043.jpg a map] of all Craft Faire locations.
'''


If you are still leveling your character or you just started a new alt, I recommend you to use a leveling guide. You can level your character to level 90 in 7 days with this guide.
<br/>Please familiarize yourself with the policies of the [http://wiki.aie-guild.org/index.php?title=Craft_Faire#Policies_and_Guidelines AIE Craft Faire].


Leatherworking guide sections:
<br/>A Leatherworking team member will supply you with mats appropriate to your skill level and guide you through the skilling-up process. All of the items you craft will then be traded to Maridunum for disenchanting.  The resulting mats will help the Craft Faire Enchanting team.
Apprentice 1 - 55
Journeyman 55 - 135
Expert 135 - 210
Artisan 205 - 290
Master 290 - 350
Grand Master 350 - 425
Illustrious 425 - 500
Zen 500 - 600


<br/>Want to gather your own mats? Consider combining Leatherworking with the Skinning profession. It is not required for the Craft Faire, but it is a big help going forward if you are able to gather your own leather. In addition to their excellent Leatherworking guide, which we use for the Craft Faire, WoW-Professions.com has an excellent [http://www.wow-professions.com/wowguides/wow-skinning-guide.html skinning guide].

Below you can find an alternative way if you don't have any Heavy Hides at all. Which is usually the case, since Heavy Hide has pretty low drop rate.

400-425
Make any Fur Lining recipe. You can buy the Eternium Threads from the Leatherworking Supply vendor near your trainer.
Make this one up to 435 if you don't have Savage Leather Scraps. I must mention I think this is a bug because it just seems strange that a recipe, which uses materials that you can buy from the vendor, gives you 35 skill points.

<span style="color:#0000FF">You will need to purchase: one leatherworking recipe <b>that uses exotic leather</b>, <u>not</u> prismatic scales (see below)</span>


425 - 500
At 576 you must purchase a leatherworking pattern from [http://www.wowhead.com/npc=64054/krogo-darkhide Krogo Darkhide] in the Shrine of Two Moons.
Visit your trainer and learn Leatherworking Illustrious.


Check out my Savage Leather farming guide if you want to farm the leathers.
You will need 1 Spirit of Harmony to purchase a recipe, and you only need one recipe to level to 600.  If you do not have a Spirit of Harmony, this is as far as we can level you during the Craft Faire.


425-435
We will have a mage port you to the Shrine of Two Moons. Choose one recipe from the Contender's Armor recipes that uses <b>exotic leather</b> (i.e. a leather armor piece, <u>not</u> a mail piece).  The reason for this is that exotic leather is much easier to farm than prismatic scales.
10 x [Savage Leather] - 50 Savage Leather Scraps
Start making the next recipe in the guide if you don't have Savage Leather Scraps, and obviously if you have more Scraps, just make Savage Leather until it turns gray.


435-450
It doesn't matter which one because if one of them requires more leathers, it will give you more skill points.
15 x [Savage Armor Kit] - 75 Savage Leather
450-460
10 x [Tsunami Boots] - 70 Savage Leather, 10 Eternium Thread
You can buy Eternium Threads from Leatherworking Supply vendors and you could also make any other item that requires 7 Savage Leather.


460-470
When you have your recipe, return to Silvermoon and tell your Captain or Assistant which recipe you purchased, and you will be given 150 Exotic Leather.
10 x [Savage Cloak] - 70 Savage Leather, 10 Eternium Thread
Or any other orange item that requires 7 Savage Leather.
 
470-475
5 x [Darkbrand Boots] - 50 Savage Leather, 5 Eternium Thread
475-480
5 x [Darkbrand Shoulders] - 60 Savage Leather, 5 Eternium Thread
You can alse make [Scorched Leg Armor] up to 485.
 
480-485
5 x [Darkbrand Chestguard] - 60 Savage Leather, 5 Eternium Thread
You can alse make [Twilight Leg Armor] up to 490 or any other orange item that requires 12 Savage Leather.
 
485-490
21 x [Heavy Savage Leather] - 105 Savage Leather
490-496
2 x [Darkbrand Leggings] - 8 Heavy Savage Leather, 24 Volatile Earth
496-499
1 x [Cloak of Beast] - 8 Heavy Savage Leather, 2 Volatile Earth, 2 Volatile Air, 2 Volatile Water, 2 Volatile Fire
499-500
1 x [Darkbrand Helm] - 5 Heavy Savage Leather
 
 
500 - 600
Visit your trainer and learn Zen Leatherworking.
 
Check your Calendar in-game to see if the Darkmoon Faire is open, the event starts at 00:01 on the Sunday before the 1st Monday of each month.
 
You can gain +5 skill points by completing a single quest. Click here to read more about the quests.
 
500-526
13 x [Exotic Leather] - 65 Sha-Touched Leather
The Fur Lining recipes will become green again at 500. You can make any of those up to 505. You can buy Eternium Threads from Tailoring and Leatherworking supply vendors.
 
But if you already have the Sha-Touched Leathers from skinning mobs, just make Exotic Leathers.
 
526-536
5 x [Misthide Boots] - 40 Exotic Leather
From this point I will usually list two recipes because the droprate of Exotic Leather and Prismatic Scale seems pretty close right now. Choose the leather type that's cheaper for you, or if you farm your own leathers mix it up to make use all of your leathers.
 
536-540
2 x [Misthide Belt] - 16 Exotic Leather
2 x [Stormscale Boots ] - 16 Prismatic Scale
540-550
5 x [Misthide Shoulders] - 40 Exotic Leather
5 x [Stormscale Gloves ] - 40 Prismatic Scale
550 - 560
5 x [Misthide Gloves] - 40 Exotic Leather
5 x [Stormscale Shoulders] - 40 Prismatic Scale
560 - 564
2 x [Misthide Leggings] - 20 Exotic Leather
2 x [Stormscale Helm] - 20 Prismatic Scale
564 - 570
3 x [Misthide Helm] - 30 Exotic Leather
3 x [Stormscale Chestguard] - 30 Prismatic Scale
570 - 600
Once you reach 570 you can purchase vendor recipes for the last 30 points (You can actually buy a few of them at 555). The Leatherworking recipes are on a vendor in Vale of Eternal Blossoms. You can enter Vale of Eternal Blossoms after completing the quest A Celestial Experience (requires level 87). After you completed the quest, you can find Krogo Darkhide (Horde) in Shrine of Two Moons and Tanner Pang (Alliance) in Shrine of Seven Stars.
You'll need 1 Spirit of Harmony to purchase a recipe and you only need one recipe. You can get Spirit of Harmony by combining 10 Motes of Harmony. Motes are dropped by every mob in Pandaria, even in dungeons. The drop rate is low, so it may take you 2 hours to collect 10 motes.
 
Choose one recipe from the Contender's Armor recipes. It doesn't matter which one because if one of them requires more leathers, it will give you more skill points. You will need around 150 Exotic Leather or Prismatic Scale.

Thanks to wow-professions for their leveling guide. We have edited the guide specifically for the needs of the AIE Craft Faire. If you are leveling your profession on your own, you would do well to follow the original WoW-Professions guide linked above.

We will be located in the Walk of Elders (coords 84,80) right by the Leatherworking trainer in Silvermoon. Click for a map of all Craft Faire locations.


Please familiarize yourself with the policies of the AIE Craft Faire.


A Leatherworking team member will supply you with mats appropriate to your skill level and guide you through the skilling-up process. All of the items you craft will then be traded to Maridunum for disenchanting. The resulting mats will help the Craft Faire Enchanting team.


Want to gather your own mats? Consider combining Leatherworking with the Skinning profession. It is not required for the Craft Faire, but it is a big help going forward if you are able to gather your own leather. In addition to their excellent Leatherworking guide, which we use for the Craft Faire, WoW-Professions.com has an excellent skinning guide.


Yours truly,

Locke & Vikkela

Your Leatherworking & Skinning Team

Donations Appreciated

If you would like to donate mats for the Craft Faire, you may send all leather directly to Viklero and all Volatiles (Earth, Air, Fire, or Water) to Seriewa.


The Skinning/Leatherworking team maintains a spread sheet of donations in case you would like to see what mats we need the most.


Thank you in advance for your donations!

You will need to purchase: one leatherworking recipe that uses exotic leather, not prismatic scales (see below)

At 576 you must purchase a leatherworking pattern from Krogo Darkhide in the Shrine of Two Moons.

You will need 1 Spirit of Harmony to purchase a recipe, and you only need one recipe to level to 600. If you do not have a Spirit of Harmony, this is as far as we can level you during the Craft Faire.

We will have a mage port you to the Shrine of Two Moons. Choose one recipe from the Contender's Armor recipes that uses exotic leather (i.e. a leather armor piece, not a mail piece). The reason for this is that exotic leather is much easier to farm than prismatic scales.

It doesn't matter which one because if one of them requires more leathers, it will give you more skill points.

When you have your recipe, return to Silvermoon and tell your Captain or Assistant which recipe you purchased, and you will be given 150 Exotic Leather.
