Tribal Vs. Elemental Vs. DragonscaleFollow

Hello, I'm an enhance spec'd shaman and I have about half a lvl until 40. After I buy my mount I will be looking into uncapping my leatherworking and I wish to know a few of the major differences between the 3 armor type directions you can go with leatherworking (what stats are boosted, what type of armor is made, etc.). Also, where would I go to learn each respective path.

dragon scale may be mail and be very nce. but only if you want to farm 40 damn scales for one peice. i know its probably the same as the other specs. but dragons are rare as hell, and at my lvl (42) their a ***** to kill without friends.


now if your rich, thats another thing entirely. buy the scales

its the same thing with Tribal leatherworking and thus I suspect it may also go for elemental leatherworking (this might actually be the worst of them to farm for!)

I have just completed my wild leather quests and have started to search for materials for my first tribal leather item (a chest piece that requires some 40 jet black feathers) These feathers are a ***** to farm when ur only lvl 46 as I am because the mobs that drop them are situated in a lvl 49 and above environment in Blasted lands. (+ there is that fakking elite dragon flying around that place!!)

My point is that in order to make armor that will be suitable and from which u will actually gain some use u will basically have to farm for reagents in regions that have a general region level some above your own.

And I think that goes for all of the three professions. What u want to decide before going to choose the leather spec. is:
- do u want to craft items for sale or
- do u want to create items for ur own use

Should u want to wear ur own armor u deffo want to go dragonscale armor spec since u can wear mail above lvl 40. As for the money making opportunities I really dont know which ones make the most money - u will have to ask someone else for that.

happy hunting!

edit: just saw that u asked for the various boosts of the different paths. I can only say that Tribal boosts Spirit the most and thats why I chose it - im a balance specced druid soooo I need the mana regen!

I am in Dragonscale and the stuff that I can make is AWESOME ...BUT!... the scales are are hard to get (that's why the items are so valuable) and the patterns are limited.

I hope (OMFG I HOPE) that Blizzard expands on the Dragon patterns as it is seriously off balance compaired to tribal and elemental. I chose cragon as I liked the idea... I like to take the harder path... and I'm hoping by not taking the easy path that blizzard will balance the patterns.

I got the dragon gloves and the dragon breastplate on and it looks awesome and matches. It looks like golden scales with claws

I went tribal solely for the purpose of selling it (at that time tribal had alot more recipes than the other two, don't know about now) and it's kinda back-fired on me. I planned to make money off what I made and buy really nice stuff at AH and it seems many others play the same way. If I had it to do over again I'd have went mining/skinning. Leatherworking WAS fun maxing out, but if I had went that other way my hunter would be loaded with "end-level" equipment. I'm gonna keep my Leatherworking skill anyway cause I can usually make something nice for a guild buddies (and in case WoW makes a nice addition down the road)
