Leatherworking in WoW Forever
Leatherworkers turn leather and hides into armor for the classes that move fast, plus cloaks, armor kits and quivers. In Forever it has more recipes than any other profession.
Good first profession? Yes, with Skinning. You skin what you kill and make your own armor from it.
How it works in Classic.
What it makes
- Leather armor
- For Druids and Rogues, and for Hunters and Shamans before level 40, starting with a Handstitched Leather Vest.
- Mail armor
- For Hunters and Shamans from level 40, such as the Heavy Scorpid Vest.
- Cloaks
- A back piece any class can wear, like a Hillman’s Cloak.
- Armor kits
- Add armor to a piece of gear you already wear.
- Bags, quivers and ammo pouches
- Room for your things, and for a Hunter’s arrows and bullets.
