Leatherworking Specializations
Once you reach 300 leatherworking, you can choose to specialize in one of the three branches: Dragonscale, Elemental, or Tribal. Each specialization allows you to craft unique items that are exclusive to that branch.
To learn a specialization, you will need to complete a quest that requires you to craft some items and gather some materials. You can only learn one specialization per character, and you can’t unlearn it without paying a fee and losing all your recipes. Here are the details of each specialization:
- Dragonscale Leatherworking: This specialization allows you to craft mail armor with bonuses to attack power, critical strike, and fire resistance. This is ideal for hunters and enhancement shamans who want to deal more damage. To learn Dragonscale Leatherworking, you need to complete the quest Dragonscale Leatherworking from Peter Galen (Alliance) or Thorkaf Dragoneye (Horde).
- Elemental Leatherworking: This specialization allows you to craft leather armor with bonuses to spell power, spell penetration, and nature resistance. This is ideal for balance druids, elemental shamans, and caster rogues who want to deal more spell damage. To learn Elemental Leatherworking, you need to complete the quest Elemental Leatherworking from Sarah Tanner (Alliance) or Brumn Winterhoof (Horde).
- Tribal Leatherworking: This specialization allows you to craft leather armor with bonuses to stamina, intellect, and spirit. This is ideal for restoration druids, restoration shamans, and feral druids who want to heal or tank.
