LW 321 to 375 helpFollow

I'm currently sitting @ 321 LW, 375 skinning, and 375 first aid. I have about 300 Knothide leather in the bank. I'm looking for advice on the most efficient way to get from 321 to 375. I have the pattern for heavy knothide leather (325) and was thinking of using the draenic boots to lvl. I used a guide to get to 300 but haven't seen a guide to get to 375 efficiently. If I missed one on here please forgive me but could somebody direct me to a good guide or give some tips? Thanks in advance.

IMO, just make the items with the least amount of mats required that are still orange. Keep up on your trainer for the items, since OJ gives you +1 skill levels. I made most of the thick and runic sets (mostly just leather and rune thread, easy mats and such) I did most of that, plus one cobra and cleft kit (blue) along the way for extra money. I'm currently stuck at 365, from there make the 24 slot LW bag and the Nethercleft and Nethercobra kits for additional money and skilling up. These also generate money, and don't forget to AH the thick and runic kits they sold well on my server for almost 2x more then the vendor so they paid for themselves.

Hope this helped a little bit.

Following up, I think that the post I linked can be very helpful, but 10 x Heavy Clefthoof Boots is pretty hardcore. I tried to farm the leather and wanted to gouge out my eyes with my own daggers. A stack of thick clefthoof is 60g on my server, so 600g for a net return of 250-300g in enchanting mats was not really an option.

So, I went into the Caverns of Time, Old Hillsbrad section and picked up the Riding Crop pattern. 4 Heavy Knothide Leather, 6 Arcane Dust, 1 Primal Might and 1 Small Brilliant Shard. My server, this is about 110g in mats, and I can put them on the AH for 125g each. Seems that this is a much better skill up items as you will essentially break even if your server has a similar economy. Much better than taking a potential 900g loss. And you can spam the trade channel to see if people will let you craft free with their mats, so your not even risking a auction not selling.

Reasons to keep LWing:

Drums
Armor Kits
Fel Leather set (BoE, but cheaper for a LWer)
Hopes that Primal Strike will get a buff to put it on par with tailor specialization items)

Really, every person with a crafting skill can say that there isn't enough useful stuff for them in end game. Engineers complain, Leather works complain, armorsmiths complain. Tailoring is about the only group who can't say anything since their stuff is comparable to T5 gear.

Hell, engineers are getting items that are better than T6, and they complain that they have to raid to get it. You will never please everyone.

Drums being the biggest one, in my eyes. Leg armors are fine and dandy, but they're BoE. Drums, on the other hand, require 350 LWing to use, and they're awesome for 25-mans, especially if you have several LWers to rotate CDs.
