Leatherworking Gold Guide
Turning scraps into leather
Making money off leatherworking can be as simple as taking scraps and making them into leather. When people need 6 Knothide, most don’t think to look for scraps. Sometimes taking scraps and turning them in to leather can make a decent amount of gold if someone is offloading scraps for cheap.
Another method of this leather transmuting is turning Knothide and Borean leather into heavy Knothide and heavy Borean leather. When people need to buy he mats to craft something, they go to the AH and just buy what they need. Most people don’t want to spend the time to find out what is needed to make that heavy Borean leather. This is all depended on your ah and timing.
Armor kits
Armor Kits are an easy way to make gold. You can sell up to 10+ kits a day and all it takes is a little bit of queue time which you can set up to do when your not at your computer. Right now Borean Armor Kits sell for 10g each and only cost around 3g to make if you buy the mats off the ah. Heavy Borean Armor Kits sell for 30g each and cost around 15g to make I sell about 10-20 of each a day.
Other Kits you can sell are
Check you ah for the cost to make these items and their sell price and compare. You don’t need to farm these mats when all of them are sitting in the AH for a price that you can still craft for profit.
Bags
The Mammoth Mining Bag can make some decent profit if you’re honored with the Sons of Hodir. These bags cost 48 Borean leather and sell for a decent amount more than the leather costs on the AH. The Trapper”s Traveling Pack could sell for profit, but probably won’t sell as quickly as the mining bag due to more people farm ore for profit than skin for profit.
Ammo and Quiver bags are another profit making crafted items. If your Honored with The Kalu’ak you can make the Dragonscale Ammo Pouch (20 Icy Dragonscales and 12 Borean leather) and if your Honored with Ebon Blade you can make the Nerubian Reinforced Quiver ( 20 Nerubian Chitins and 12 Borean Leather). These sell for a decent amount over what they cost to make if you purchase the mats on the AH.
Craftables for DE
There are several items you can craft for DE profit. In order to determine what will work on your server you would need to compare the total cost of the item to craft and see if it falls in your acceptable DE value (for more information look at Enchanting)
The main items I use for DE purposes:
- Rugged Leather Pants
- Hillman”s Shoulders
- Nightscape Headband
- Wicked Leather Headband
- Thick Draenic Gloves
- Iceborne Gloves
- Frostscale Belt
- Nerubian Legguards
