Leatherworking, a primary profession in the World of Warcraft, allows players to utilize leather that is obtained from the Skinning profession to create a variety of different items. These items include Armor Kits, Leather & Mail Armors, and Cloaks, and the outcome that is resulted from this profession is mostly used for classes, such as Rogue, Monk, Shaman, Hunter, and Druid. Many of the items made from Leatherworking are now ‘bind on equip’, and the recipes that used to require specific specialization can now be trained through this profession with ease.
