Today we will cover the best ways to make gold with Leatherworking in Cataclysm classic!
Leg enchants
Leatherworking can craft rare and epic enchants for legs that add physical DPS stats. These are fairly popular classes, so the sale rate is great. You also have the nice aspect that the crafts don’t require BoP materials, so they can be mass crafted. On the other hand that does also mean that competition is not really limited, so profit margins are lower, but you can get a larger percentage of the sales by spending more time reposting.
Gear
As an armor crafting profession you get access to a variety of gear recipes. From a goldmaking perspective the most relevant groups are the epic crafts that require chaos orbs and the entry level PVP Gear. The chaos orb epics are good, but obviously requires you to farm heroics or pay for chaos orb runs.
Pvp Gear
The PvP gear is a GREAT volume market. I’ve made a ton of sales, and since leatherworking covers to armor types, and is not the most popular PvE or PvP profession the competition is fairly low. The wide variety of recipes also means that many more different recipes are showing profits than for tailoring where everyone crafted the same recipes to level their profession.
Nothing else
That’s it for leatherworking from a profit perspective. There aren’t any other recipes that are relevant from a goldmaking perspective in Cata sadly.
TSM Setup
Below you can get my TSM setup to help you effectively restock and repost the items. I suggest using it as is, but you will want to make sure that tsm has the right material prices under /tsm crafting → reports → materials.
