Leatherworking
Leatherworkers craft items from leather skinned from beasts. Some of the most powerful leather and mail armor is available from leatherworking. Three specializations are available at skill level 225 - Dragonscale, Elemental, and Tribal Leatherworking. Each allows crafting of armor with stats geared toward a different leather or mail wearing class. Leatherworkers can also make armor kits to enhance pieces of armor for Chest, Leg, Hand, and Feet slots with extra armor, defense, stats, or resistances. A common trend is for raiders to take leatherworking since it enables the crafting and use of drums such as the Drums of Battle, which are powerful buffs when used correctly.

This is the only real useful skill to couple while leveling leatherworking, skinning allows a player to collect all of the materials needed for skilling up and crafting most items. Any other profession is viable as long as materials are not a concern, such as when leatherworking is taken after leveling up with a good inflow of money in order to make drums.

Leatherworkers can sell a few different items for profit. Reinforced Mining Bags are useful for miners farming ore, and hunters will want Quivers and Ammo Bags.
