WoW Leatherworking Guide

This WoW Leatherworking guide will show you the fastest and easiest way how to get your Leathering skill up from 1 to 450.

It takes a whole lot of leather to level your Leatherworking and it can get very expensive if you cannot farm all of it. You may also want to consider adding Skinning as your secondary skill. These 2 professions are best for leather wearers such as Druids and Rogues as well as low level Hunters and Shamans.

If you are going to buy all the mats make sure that you are using a really good Gold Guide to help you out.
