This post is following the one the engineering profession.
- Global Overview:
From leather and skin, with elements and greenpeace on your back, a leatherworker will be able to craft mail and leather gear, as well as some enchants -armor kits- and magazine bags.
In order to loot a leather or skin or scale, the beast NPC must be dead, and looted, and then must be skinned, then you have 1 or 2 leathers or 1 skins. This make leatherworker some kind of long or expensive to level up.-skinning will be for another day-.
In oder to get some help, here are some guides:

i) it seems that it is one of the first complete list of LW specilization BOE, isn’t it?
Something important is that there is ANY BOP of any kind in this profession.
Along the phases on Classic, non specialized set/gear will be avalaible -resistant gear especially- that might be usefull for a bunch of player as well as some pvp sets such as : Primal Batskin, Blood Tiger Harness -zandalar reputation for those both-, nature resitant gear with the cenarion reputation and frost with Argent Dawn.
There are 3 specializations which are totaly different in term of raw materials availability and type of gear. So i hope you can read all the list of gear since it’s not entirely designed for a class or a talent tree. -it s arguable that some are MOSTLY designed for this of this class but some gear make it interesting for others-

- Jumbles:
3.1) Leveling up leather worker
To follow a guide is a good idea in order to do this profession.
Grind is a good option -i mean here a phasis in the lvling when the player is only killing monster; beast here- in order to get some gold and raw mats.
3.2) Economics
There are a bunch of preBIS that LW can sold all the game long to others classes -even the clothe one-.
A good idea is to disenchant some Wicked Leather Headband crafted by your own to sell enchants raw mats -which havn’t any cost to sell on AH on the duration/deposit.
3.3) Object - Quest
None i know, not that is research more than that.
I mean here those who are useful to other player for a quest while lvling. Of course there are some quest in late game which required this and this item but it isnt quite relevant here.
To conclude this presentation scale pretty well with the phases and a large pool of possible client. It requires time to maximise the skill cap in LW and getting the pattern through the reputation process.
I hope it helps a bit some reader looking for some explanation -wait, does it even interest someone, this long LONG OVERVIEW?-. I hope that this is easily readable and without too many grammar mistakes. If there are any mistakes -content part- let me know, i will edit. If you have a better idea for the written presentation part, let me know ! Thanks for reclaim ![:wink:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/wink.png?v=6" ":wink:")
and potential enhancement.
If you like such content, or dislike, you know what to do.
Next part will be Blacksmith.
