When leveling a trade skill, there is a lot that needs to be done, especially when it comes to leatherworking.  Not only are leatherworkers able to make several types of leather armor, but they are able to make pieces that can be attached to pants.  These pieces provide some significant statistical bonuses.
There are two different types of ways to gather the materials needed for crafting leatherworking items.  First, and the most expensive, is by purchasing these items from the auction house.  If you’re not made of gold, however, this means you’re going to have to gather the materials yourself, and that means you’re going to need to pick up skinning as your second primary skill.  There is a steady demand for leather in the auction house, so it also provides you with the ability to make some cash with any extra materials you might have.
The quality pieces produced by leatherworkers are?
You will have the ability to make items in a variety of rarities.  The most common items are “greens,” but you will also have the ability to make a few epic “purples.”  In most cases, these epic items will be the best gear available before you begin raiding.
Many other skinners price their leathers at very high prices, which often makes using the auction house for leatherworking materials very expensive at lower levels.  This provides you with the opportunity to undercut these people, and easily steal a large amount of the customer base.  You’ll be pleasantly surprised with the results.
Never make the mistake of raising your prices. Lowering them will earn you just as good of a profit because you will earn more repeat business then if you gouged your customers.
Benefits
Leatherworking holds a large amount of importance in the crafting portion of the game.  You will have many different characters that will require your services – their success in the game will depend on the gear you will be able to craft.  Suffice to say that leatherworking can be a profitable business.
Leatherworking further ensures that you increase the necessary statistics and attain minimum gear levels for whatever it is you are doing. This is of great use and help for those who want to major in leather as a basic source of armor.
You should never forget that leather is always needed in the market and sells well. Since its demand rarely reduces in the market, it will be up to you to assign reasonable prices; otherwise you lose the market when your clients realize that your prices are much higher. Keep it low!
If you decided to take on skinning as your second primary skill, you will have a vicious combo that will earn you a great source of income.
