leatherworking & Gold?Follow
well i for one i made a pair of toughened leather gloves and sold on them on the AH for 5g, also the armor kits are very popular with just about anyone and most importantly the 3 big leatherworkings u choose at lvl 300 sell for easily close to 50g a piece so, hopefully those few tips are enough to keep you on the path of leatherworking. :)
Make money with Leatherworking in 3 eazy steps.
as mentiond before toughened leather gloves Sell them to rouges, hunters,druids,shaman, or to disenchanters. Nuking them will yeald a Large Glimmering Shard, and those sell A OK for some good money.
Next on the list is Barbaric Bracers I dont remember what the DE in to, but sell em for 8 gold and you have a pile of money.
Finaly is Gem-studded Leather Belt they Nuke in to large Glowing Shard.
some of the reagents are a little rare, but still no problem to get if you watch the AH or just farm them
Armor kits rock for making money, folks dotn feel so bad about droping 25-50 silver to acompany their new armor, so armor kits are popular.
as with almost all trades, it works better when more than one person is workign togather.

Yes, I agree with the above posters. Leatherworking is making great money for me. I sold some Green Leather Armor and I made money off those. I was actually surprised that those are popular, along with the Guardian Armor set. So far, I'm 208/300 leatherworking, and hoping to take the path of a tribal leatherworker. Wish me luck!

Yeah I agree with everyone. After an hour or so of farming for supplies. I can make between 20 - 30 gold a day. Those blue items the tough glove and gem studed belt sell REALLY well. As do any pant or chest that has high +agi.

Trible Leatherworking = Devilsaur Legs and Gauntlets = at least 100 gold on AH. Enough said really.
I sale all my thick leather for 70 silver a stack so thats not bad.

based on the numbers from Allakhazam, the devilsaur gauntlets use 33.5g worth of mats to make, and sell for 45.18g, so you make 11.67g
the devilsaur legging mats cost 58.59g and the leggings sell for 75g, so you can make 16.41 gold crafting them
so.. making them both will net you about 120g profit before AH fees.. IF you farm everything yourself
the question is, could you make more than that in the same amount of time it takes you to gather all those mats.
while you are off farming roughly
50 lvl 50-55 elite devilsaurs, plus an additional
300 lvl 45-50 trash mobs for your rugged leather, plus an additional
75 to 100 lvl 50-55 trash mobs for your rugged hide..
I could easily pick 200-300g worth of herbs... or reset the SM graveyard probably more than 300 times.. easily getting 130 large glowing shards from the bloodmage.. and those sell for 2-3g each.. so that would make me 260-390g
120 < 200-300g
120 < 260-390g
but go ahead.. skill up a crafting prof, it just means less competition for my herbs and shards on the AH, and I will be looking for you one day, when I want to buy a pair of devilsaur gauntlets and leggings.. and I will laugh and gladly pay 100g for them, cause I have gold coming out of my ears.
the same goes for smithing, and tailoring and the actual act of enchanting (not dis-enchanting)... they all blow as a means for making money, and should only be persued by those who happen to enjoy burning a great deal of money to get back only slightly more than they burned.
if anyone would like to go out and actually time themselves gathering all the mats, I will gladly go and spend the same amount of time running the graveyard or gathering herbs.
just get back to me on how many hours and mintues you spent, from start to finish.

I thought of something else..
the 60g an hour is easily do-able for a lvl 40.. while grinding devilsaurs would be a lvl 50+ thing to do... a lvl 40 would get their *** handed to them.

All these items are fine for making gold, but no one answered the question of what items at LOWER SKILL should a leatherworker make to make money?
The original posted has a skill of 150. Not 200, not 300. What items around skill 150-200 there sell at the AH for profit?

+Agility items. Dark leather pants comes to mind. Already mentioned is the Green Leather armor chest that sells on my server for 75s a pop just about as fast as you can make them. Honestly, though, there is not a lot of money in any crafting proff. Rooz might be a bit brutal in presentation, but fact is fact. I farm thick leather with my hunter, convert it into Nightscape Headbands literally by the dozen and send them to my lowbie lock enchanter dweeb. Then, on a daily basis while I'm just clearing bluebar with the lock, I spam whatever area I am in a few times with the "cheap enchants up to 225, pst" mantra that we all know and hate so much. I usually get about 3-5 g every session with this routine while i'm leveling. If you do the math, it's not a huge profit. Headbands give between 2 and 5 vision dusts each DE, or 1-2 lesser some essence that you can use for chest enchants. Stacks of thick go for 75s. I get 1.5 g for a 5 vision dust enchant. So i'm making about 50 percent more off my leather that way than straight ah prices. It's fun to just be hangin out killing croks in wetlands and make 5.5 g in 10 minutes, though. It FEELS like you made a wad of cash, when really you might not have, you just recycled your goods through a different channel, so to speak. Ok, /ramble off.

i heard someone in ironforge today saying that he could pick 2 of the 3 abilitys at 300 leatherworking. Tribal + Elemental. is that true? Or was he another person just spamming in ironforge?

not true. once you pick a path you can never learn one of the other paths. even if you unlearn leatherworking adn start up agian from 0 you will still be unable to choose a different path.

at lower levels you can make pretty decent money selling green leather armor. i made all the gold i needed in 5 days of selling 10 green leather armor pieces a day on the AH. i sold them for 1-1.25 gold each that along with my questing, i made enough money to buy my mount and all my level 40 skills.
once you get higher and start hunting around booty bay make absolutely sure to pick up the shadowskin gloves pattern, each one can easily sell for 14-15 gold. the hardest part about shadowskin gloves is finding the shadowcat hides (you need 8)

Toughened Leather Gloves and Barbaric Bracers are going to be your best sellers. I sell these for 5-8g depending on how the market is.. and if it's really low then I just hold them until the supply is really low. I havent' sold the gem-studded leather belts all that well.. maybe about 4 of them in my life as a LW. I'm a lvl 44 druid on Laughing Skull. Got my mount, spells, two gear sets one for solo (+str/sta) and one for healer (int/spi) and right now I have a bank full of blue items waiting to be used, including Blanchard's Stout, Wildheart Belt, Gloves and Bracers, etc and 240g in my pocket... all from selling leather.
Don't forget Green Leather Armor I've been making money from that,but how do you deal with people that undercut your prices on the AH? Like Green leather Armor usually on my server sell for about 75s to 1g with a buyout of 1g30s or so,but lately someone's been selling for them for about 60 silver or so,and driving the prices down as a result,and are the Shadowgems and Black pearls for the shadowskin gloves easy to find?

i've had someone try that on me while i was collecting money for my mount, simply i just bought all the cheap green leather armor that i saw on the AH and resold them at my price. not only did i keep the price of my armor at where it should be and sold all of them, but i also made a small profit on the armor i bought and resold.
shadowgems are always on the AH and easy to get from there (they are cheap as well) black pearls can be found in the AH or in big-mouth clams (not extremely rare but hard to farm for) they arent expensive either.

Farmed mats in 1hr 48 Mins, Remember Druids Own the Ungoro with hybernate, druuing that time i also picked about 33 gold in herbs, and enuff bloodpedal sprouts to cash in 3 times with the hungry KUDO. I surely could have done this much faster, but I spent so much time farrting arround.

Hi;
I read your reply re; leather working and making money. You mention nuking certain items and changing them to schards? I have never heard of this before can you elaborate and tell me how you nuke them?
I am a lvl 230 leather wrking.
Thanks
Cainne

Using a Disenchanter, be it a freind, or your alt(make a level 10 char and take up enchanting, then mail the alt the tiems, they use the Disenchant skill and then send the shard back.

In my experience, Embossed Leather vests have sold very well. I sold off 20 or 25 of them at 10s start and 40s buyout before a lot of other people started listing them.
Just make the vest and put a light armor kit on it. They sold really well for me. Since I made enough money, I can play the AH a little more.

i just d/e or give away my barbaric bracers because there were so many on AH i barely could sell any thing i put up. then a friend reminded me they are worth 7-8g.
so i thought about it again. maybe ill make more of these for sale again, see if the market has changed.
other than that, i found the lvl 5-20 gear was easier to sell. maybe because there were new enchanters buying the low level gear get to skill ups.
after level 20s or so, there are too many LW making the same "nice" AGI or STA gear so the AH supply is overstocked most of the time.
that's not true at all. Just about every crafting prof has stuff that will sell well to anyone else, especially if the recipe is rare. Trained recipes generally aren't moneymakers since people will buy mats and make them until the price goes down to below cost of the mats. Ask/inspect a hi-lvl leather on your server to see wht they use and find something comparable to that you can make.
