WoW Leatherworking Leveling Guide 1 - 600

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 5.2
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.

Leatherworking Leveling Guide 1 - 55

First, visit any trainer in the main cities of old Azeroth - just ask a guard, and learn Leatherworking Apprentice.
You should start with Light Leather farming if you want to farm the leathers.
  • 1-20
    19 x [Light Leather] - 57 Ruined Leather ScrapsMake the next recipe if you don't have Ruined Leather Scraps.

55 - 135

Learn Leatherworking Journeyman.
  • 85-100
    15 x [Fine Leather Belt] - 90 Light Leather, 30 Coarse ThreadKeep these, you will need them.
Check out my Medium Leather farming guide if you want to farm the leathers.

135 - 200

Learn Leatherworking Expert.
  • 130-145
    15 x [Dark Leather Belt] - 15 Fine Leather Belt, 15 Cured Medium Hide, 30 Fine Thread, 15 Gray Die
Make [Dark Leather Cloak] if you still don't have [Cured Medium Hide].
  • 190-200
    10 x [Guardian Gloves] - 40 Heavy Leather, 10 Cured Heavy Hide, 10 Silken Thread
Check out my Thick Leather farming guide if you want to farm the leathers.

205 - 265

Learn Leatherworking Artisan.
Check out my Rugged Leather farming guide if you want to farm the leathers.

290 - 350

Visit your trainer learn Leatherworking Master.
Check out my Knothide Leather farming guide if you want to farm the leathers.
  • 325-335
    43 x [Heavy Knothide Leather] - 215 Knothide LeatherJust go to the next step if you didn't reach 335 by making these, but then you will need a few more [Heavy Knothide Leather].If one Heavy Knothide Leather is cheaper than 5 Knothide Leather, stop making the Heavy Knothide Leathers when you reach 330, buy them from the Auction House instead.
  • 340-350
    If you don't have that much Fel Scales, you can make [Thick Draenic Vest] up to 345 or 350 if you can't find any Fel Scales in the AH at all.14 x [Scaled Draenic Boots] - 28 Heavy Knothide Leather, 28 Fel Scales, 42 Rune ThreadThis recipe goes yellow at 345, so you will need to make a few extra ones. I suggest gathering enough materials for 14.

350 - 425

Visit your trainer and learn Leatherworking Grand Master.
  • 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.

425 - 500

Visit your trainer and learn Leatherworking Illustrious.

  • 425-435
    10 x [Savage Leather] - 50 Savage Leather ScrapsStart 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.
  • 450-460
    10 x [Tsunami Boots] - 70 Savage Leather, 10 Eternium ThreadYou can buy Eternium Threads from Leatherworking Supply vendors and you could also make any other item that requires 7 Savage Leather.
  • 460-470
    10 x [Savage Cloak] - 70 Savage Leather, 10 Eternium ThreadOr any other orange item that requires 7 Savage Leather.
  • 496-499
    1 x [Cloak of Beast] - 8 Heavy Savage Leather, 2 Volatile Earth, 2 Volatile Air, 2 Volatile Water, 2 Volatile Fire

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. 
  • 500-526
    13 x [Exotic Leather] - 65 Sha-Touched LeatherThe 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.
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.
  • 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.
I hope you liked this WoW Leatherworking guide
