Leatherworking is a Primary Profession in WoW Forever and is used to create a lot of end game gear. Leatherworkers use a variety of different leathers and Hides that can be brought off the Auction House or gathered with the Skinning Profession.
Leatherworking is a fairly easy profession to level but can get expensive as you reach the higher levels of the profession. This guide walks you through how to level Leatherworking from 1-225.
This guide was written in the Beta and wasn’t able to be tested beyond Leatherworking 225. When WoW Forever releases this guide will be updated with more information.
