Leatherworking 200-300: Grinding Guide

Pasiphae now has some great Hunters who are nearing the point of choosing to skill up on a specific type of leatherworking. Hopefully, those doing leatherworking will chat amongst yourselves to each choose a specific skill direction, ie. dragon, tribal, etc.

In the meantime, here is some helpful hints to level from 200 to 300:

Level: 200-220: Make and sell “Thick Armour Kits”

Level: 215-230 Make and sell “Big Voodoo Robe”

You may have to buy the pattern but it really isn’t that expensive. A few stacks of armor kits will cover it easily. To make these, you need flasks of Mojo. Go to the Hinterlands and farm Trolls. They give these things away as drops. At the same time, you can grind on the turtles at the shore line (and collect scales too)

ALTERNATE OPTION

Level: 220-235 Make and sell “Tough Scorpid Bracers”

If you’re not into the whole mountains and oceans theme but would rather climb sand dunes and bake in the sun, these are for you. Tanaris and Burning Steppes scorpions drop these at a decent rate and are plentiful. Burning Steppes has a better drop rate but you need to be in your mid 50s to get them.

Life gets MUCH easier from here…for awhile

Level: 230-245 Make and sell “Nightscape Pants”
Ref: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=3149

The good thing about these pants is that they don't have any secondary mats like turtle scales or scorpion scales and are available from your trainer. They are however, leather hogs. The plus is though, they Disenchant into Dream Dust and Greater Nether Essence which sell very well. Thus the reason to have someone who can Disenchant items….hello?

Level: 235-250 Nightscape Boots

(same as above)

Level: 250-265 Make and sell “Rugged Armor Kits”

Ref: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5749

Level: 260-275 Make and sell “Wicked Leather Bracers”

Ref: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=14890

Level: 260-300 Patience is virtuous now! All the patterns are either drops or specialization patterns. You’re gonna have to fork over the coin so make you’ve been saving. Check with your Guild mates and see if someone has a few of these patterns gathering dust in their bank. These bracers (along with all wicked items) are great to skill up on and Rogues will buy them. You can also disenchant them into Dream Dust and Lesser Eternal Essence.

Level: 280-300 Make and sell “Wicked Leather Headband”

Ref: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=5404

If you can stumble your way up to level 280 then these will take you all the way to the promised land. They sell well (as long as the AH isn’t flooded, time your postings for California time as the Ravencrest server is west coast) and they disenchant into Dream Dust and Greater Eternal Essence.

It takes tons of leather to get to level 300 so keep on killing and skinning.

The real fun begins after level 300!

GOOD LUCK!!!
