Leatherworking

Overview

Leatherworking crafts armor primarily from hides and leather scraps dropped by creatures, though some higher-end recipes call for components from Tailoring and Enchanting.

Getting Started

Leatherworker Haiat trains the skill at the Tannery in Night Harbor. A leatherworker there sells the optional Leatherworking Kit and Seam Ripper, and will buy back excess leather armor, hides, and thread. Basic recipes only need the 6-slot Leatherworking Kit, but a few advanced recipes require a 10-slot Leatherworking Station found in cities.

Materials & Tiers

Leatherworking progresses through four tiers, each built from scraps salvaged off creatures:

• Rawhide — the starting tier. Rawhide Scraps are worked into Rawhide Canvas and Rawhide Strap, the base components for Rawhide-tier armor, bags, and mount gear.
• Hide — the next tier up, following the same Canvas/Strap pattern with Hide Scraps.
• Leather — the mid-tier material.
• Padded Leather — the highest tier currently craftable.

Straps from each tier double as a component in Blacksmithing’s armor recipes, so the two skills’ tiers tend to progress together.

Leveling Tips

• Undead and humanoid enemies drop Rawhide Scraps and Tattered Rawhide armor — combine them in a Leatherworking Kit to produce Patched Rawhide armor, which sells to vendors for noticeably more than the Tattered version, making it a solid early income source.
• The Leatherworking Kit only holds 6 ingredients; a few recipes need a Leatherworking Station (up to 10 ingredients) found in cities.
• Tomb of the Last Wyrmsbane and nearby Ashira camps are good rawhide farming spots on the Night Harbor side; Blacktide Bay works well on the Faelindral side.
• Breaking gear down into scraps with a Seam Ripper is much lighter to carry than whole armor pieces — useful for consolidating loot when your group is camped far from a vendor.

Pairs With

• Skinning and Tanning supply the hides and Canvas Leatherworking depends on.
• Blacksmithing uses Leatherworking’s straps to assemble metal armor, and shares the same breakdown mechanic with its own tool.
• Tailoring and Enchanting provide components for higher-end recipes.

Seam Ripper Breakdown

Breaking down old or worn gear with a Seam Ripper recovers scrap materials, which can be used to upgrade lower-quality armor or reclaim crafting materials. This table shows what each item breaks down into, grouped by tier.
