Leatherworking ingredients

The main ingredients in leatherworking are leather and scales, which are obtained from skinning the corpses of beasts. Hides are also a necessary component for some armor pieces and have a chance of being picked up whenever you skin a corpse. Many leatherworking recipes require elemental items, dyes, threads, and other miscellaneous items, as well as reagents from other professions including cloth, potions, elixirs, gems, herbs, ores, and enchanting items.
