Changed from Classic
Roughly 198 Classic recipes now skill up earlier, typically by ~25 points.
New in Forever
New armour recipes and a large new recipe count (one of the biggest additions).
Should you take it?
You play a Hunter, Rogue, Druid or Shaman and want your own armour.
Tip: Pair with Skinning: you will generate leather faster than you can use it.
Pairs well with
Skinning. Taking a gathering skill with the crafting skill it feeds keeps you self-sufficient and cheaper to level.
Camp objects
At a campsite, Leatherworking contributes:
- Camp Tent
- Tanning Rack
- Sewing Machine
A camp holds one feature per trade, features share a cooldown, and camp buffs need you to stop and sit. See the Camping system.
