Leatherworking leveling guide
Leatherworking in WotLK Classic runs from 375 to 450 on 
Borean Leather, which makes Skinning the natural partner. Learn Grand Master Leatherworking at character level 65 as soon as you reach Northrend. Counts are approximate: a recipe can turn green a few points earlier or later.

Trainers and tips
- Grand Master Leatherworking is taught by Diane Cannings in Dalaran for both factions, by Bernadette Dexter in Howling Fjord and Rosemary Bovard in Borean Tundra for the Alliance, and by Gunter Hansen in Howling Fjord and Awan Iceborn in Borean Tundra for the Horde.
Dark Iceborne Leggings with 
Crystallized Shadow work just as well as Dark Frostscale Leggings, and 
Icescale Leg Armor can replace Frosthide Leg Armor.- Fur Lining for bracers is only for leatherworkers and is one of the best reasons to keep this tradeskill at 450.
