Leatherworking allows the user to craft armor and items out of the leather gathered with skinning. It is especially good for classes that wear leather armor such as rogues, druids, hunters, and shamans. These classes can make their own armor and boost their stats as they grow in levels. They can also make some kinds of bags and armor patches to boost stats. It is almost necessary to pick up skinning as a second profession because it allows you to gather your materials. Leatherworking makes some decent money, but is mostly useful for your own stat growth. At the higher levels, you can make some of the best leather and mail items in the game. You can also eventually make your own epic armor sets that can be slotted with gems. I recommend this profession for growing leather users who want to be independent of the auction house for their equipment.
Every man dies, but few truly live. Live your life to its fullest, every day as if it were your last.
