Making money with LeatherworkingFollow

I'm a skincrafting/leatherworking professioned hunter, i still only have 110 but i want to know about what level does it start to pay off? at this point, it's just wasting my time and money.

When you get blue, or "Rare" Items to make, usually sets such as blue dragonscale. Red whelp gloves also give a bit of money, but you have to farm whelps in the wetlands to get the mats.

Skinning is where a lot of money is, just see how much a stack of 20 med or heavy leather go for, and sell them for a bit less than that. Worked for my hunter and rogue.

Don't forget to tell me how it goes!

What I found most useful for my leatherworker is making an alt with disenchant.

You're probably still going to lose money compared to just selling the skins, but at least you have a use for all the items you craft. When leveling LW, target green items. Then ship them off to your alt to disenchant into mats.

I spent a lot of time farming raptors because besides the leather, you get raptor hide (basically farming two mats with one fight) The raptor hide harnesses disenchant into mats that will sell nicely on AH.

Once my level exceeded that, I went on to the turtles in gadgetzan, which as far as I'm concerned are the best source I've found yet in the game. You get turtle meat and clam meat for cooking, pearls, nice green drops, and then skinning gets you leather and turtle scale.

the power leveling guides for LW won't get you as many greens, but if you put more effort into making green items, at least you aren't crafting a bunch of junk that has no value.
