Leatherworking 1 to 300 Guide by Lobotomy on EU-Frostmane
I wrote this Leatherworking levelling guide because I decided to level leatherworking on my hunter, and I wanted the most profitable levelling possible(not the fastest or cheapest, but I'll include some options for that too). Most of what you make can be put on AH, but some of it might also need to be disenchanted. To be able to disenchant the highest item you need 180 Enchanting, but a level 5 enchanter with 50 skill will be able to DE the lowest stuff.
Some parts might need a world drop or vendor bought recipe, see end of post to find out from where.
I've tried to only use skillups with orange recipes, but some places(5-10 skill points max) you might do a yellow recipe. If that causes you to use more mats, I'm sorry.
The levelling guide is divided into 4 parts:
1-150 with Low Mats(vendor), Max Profit(DE/AH), What I Did
150-205 with Low Mats and Nice Profit, Max profit(AH)
205-250 with Max Profit(Elemental), Dragonscale and Tribal

When it says Nightscape Headband/Tunic, it means you can choose. Tunics use 2 more Thick leather than Headbands, so if you're only disenchanting Headbands is the best, while if you're putting on AH a mix is better.
