PROFESSIONS

Now we will be giving you some useful information about how to combine your professions and make a fortune out of it! And since every gathering profession has its own bonus skill: We will also be talking about the best class/profession combinations as well.

SKINNING/LEATHERWORKING

Skinning is the best gathering profession to combine with leatherworking. Since the items you craft in LW requires a big amount of leather, Skinning will help you out. You basicly skin the corpses of Beasts with skinning to gather leather and you would want to level in places with a big amount of Beast kind mobs

Skinning’s bonus skill is Master of Anatomy: Increases critical strike rating. So basicly you can pick these professions with any class which might use a little more critical strike rating.

 But to be able to actually USE and sell the good epic crafts when you level your profession to 450: we would suggest you to pick this profession with a Rogue, Hunter, Shaman or Druid. Leatherworkers only craft Leather and Mail items so it would be useless for your own item benefit if you pick this profession with a cloth or plate wearer class.

Leatherworking also has its own enchants which only the Leatherworker can Profit such as Enchants on Bracers which give extra 130 Attack Power , 102 Stamina or 70 Spell Power. So Hunters, Rogues, Shamans and Druids  will be the classes to profit the most of Leatherworking profession.

And coming to the gold-earning part:

From 1 to 450 skill level, skinning allows you to save some leather to level your Leatherworking and also allows you to sell the rest in the Auction House. Some other professions also require Leather every once in a while and people will HAVE to buy some from the Auction House. For Example to make Boots in Tailoring: the tailor needs the leather as well as cloth.

Skin every beast you slay. Even in Dungeons! And after being done with that kind of leather in Leatherworking: Sell the rest on the auction house. Do this untill you are level 80 and your both professions are 450.

After hitting 450, you will be able to gather Arctic Fur from beasts with a rare drop rating. Arctic Fur is a rare leather used in Various professions including Leatherworking

. To be able craft the Epic goods of Leatherworking you will need approximately 5-8 Arctic Fur depending on the recipe. Keep an eye out for the Beasts in dungeons and gather as much as arctic fur you can.

Another thing to be farmed in skinning is Borean Leather. It has a good selling price in the Auction House and is easy for you to skin.

And for Leatherworking: Keep an eye out for the epic recipes which drops from certain Raids. (To see what raids drop recipes you would like the addon AtlasLoot) These recipes are Bind On Equip items and are sellable. 

After Having a few epic recipes (Dont bother for epic items below level 245 since they wont be much profit) you can either craft these items yourself and sell them on AH with at least 1.5K Gold price to a maximum of 5-6K gold, you can also Craft them for people with a certain amount of fee with their mats. (For example in my Server the 245 epics require 100 gold fee to craft, and 264 level epics require 400 gold Fee to craft. Not bad at all!)

Leatherworkers also make Leg Enchants which sell for a really nice price in the Auction House. Whenever you have the mats, Make the most commonly used Leg Enchants and sell them on the auction house!

Some certain classes especially Tanks will need the Leg Enchants and will buy them from AH. Those enchants have a price around 150g to a Maximum of 350g depending on the server. And the leg enchants which give Stamina + Resillience are an excellent material for PVPers. They will certainly buy those from the Auction House!

So basicly, go out skinning farming every once in a while for Borean Leather, Keep an eye out for Arctic Fur from dungeon&Raid beasts, and definitely go raiding for the epic item recipes! Spam your leatherworking skill in trade and people will /w you with the item they want to be crafted. Offer a reasonable fee and earn gold!
