Should you master Leatherworking in WOTLK Classic?

level working for some will be an absolutely amazing profession while for most it will seem fairly pointless it's particularly good for tanks because of the fur lining that gives you quite a ridiculous amount of stamina if your raid's missing a druid to bring mark of the wild or a paladin to bring blessing of kings then you can provide these also but do know these don't require level working to use so you could just buy them off the auction house and of course like all the professions you can make a nice assortment of item level 200 epics people to boost their gear score or their item level however you want to look at it as quickly as possible before you go into your first knacks overall though talking from a completely selfish perspective if you want to get the most out of your character is this wristing charm which provides you attack power spell power or stamina going to be enough to make it worthwhile you being a level worker we're going to dive into all of the specifics of level working what you can make how you can make them how it progresses throughout the expansions and when you look at the fur lining so the actual wrist enchant when we're looking at it bear in mind in 3.1 these values were increased so you a lot of the professions went through a lot of balancing to act mainly to actually be as strong as blacksmithing getting the extra two gem sockets and then it's quite a strange turn of events where some of them actually became stronger than blacksmithing level working is one of them for specific classes i would say it really fits tanks very well so particularly let's say feral druids these tanks where their biggest concern is just getting a massive massive health pool but the extra attack power you get from the wrists is still very similar to that of what you'll get from all the other professions as is the spell power the actual gain you're gonna get is very similar to that of other professions we will compare them directly to what enchant you would be using if you wasn't a level worker to see the exact gains but we'll get into that soon just want to say a quick thank you to all you guys that have joined the channel as a member it really does help me keep pumping out content more on how you can support the channel at the end and one brief plug scottyj.com is now live that's probably not what it's going to be called long term but i'm trying to compile a one single resource which is reliable accurate information so you could consider the videos i've got on there at the moment even as placeholders because i want to get as many big brain classes to come in and be authors of written guides to do audible guides so you can listen to them on spotify or itunes when you're driving and of course youtube videos as well and by the way it's nowhere near finished i've had it online for one day but level working so outside of the attack power which you can put on your braces which permanently enchants your bracer to increase attack bar by 130 of course this won't stack with an enchant so it's this over an enchant same way that spell power you get 76 spell power and for stamina you get a whopping 102 stamina and this is what i mean you're getting a big big chunk of stamina here straight off the bat if we just compare these to actual in chance if you're going to put the major stamina on your wrists which does cost an abyss crystal which obviously they're going to be slightly more difficult to come across early in the game and then you know as all the epics that drop in heroics are being deed the majority of knax gears being det then obviously we'll see abyss crystals all over the place but to begin with this would be quite an incredibly expensive enchant more than likely but it gives you 40 stamina the same way if we look at the spell power the spell power gives 30 spell power on your wrists whereas we're going to get a whopping 76 from the fur lining so if we take that as an example 46 extra spell power if you think about let's say enchant him so when we actually look at it in comparison to enchanting it gives exactly the same you get 46 additional spell power from level working you get 23 on each ring as enchanting so it's directly comparable to enchanting but arguably enchanting is a lot more useful there's a lot more things you can do with enchanting outside of just enchanting your rings and then finally if we compare the attack power which are getting 130 attack power versus 50 attack power if you're gonna go for greater assault so you're getting 80 attack power from this it's absolutely identical the only slight downside here is you are locked in to those three stats you know of your choice so either spell power stamina or attack power whereas if you're talking jaw crafting or blacksmithing you've got a bit of room for maneuver you could go for hit if you needed hit you could go for raw attack power if you wanted raw attack power or in most circumstances the primary state like agility or strength is going to work out better for you so it does lack a little bit of flexibility but what it does lacking flexibility does it does make up for in gold potential if you've got a skinner now if you've got a skinner you can make really good gold and let me show you how so there's tons of recipes at this guy called breg stout beard who's in dalaran and he sits just up here in the mages commerce later on in the expansion you can get arctic fur from trading in 10 heavy bori and leather now when i say later in the expansion it's actually in 3.3 so i would guess that this isn't going to be available on the vendor for obvious reasons because arctic fur is a very very important resource so arctic fur acts as two things it acts as a currency let's say to be able to buy some of these epic 200 eye level recipes which early on people are probably going to want to get hold of just to get their eye level as high as possible before they walk into knacks and then the additional way it's used is actually in crafting so none of these epic recipes actually need arctic fur it's all heavy burry and leather and you know certain eternals and they also require frozen orbs which come from the final boss of a heroic dungeon but other than using the arctic fur as a currency to buy these recipes from the vendor you also need one arctic fur to be able to put your enchant on your bracer and if you're wanting to make yourself some gold to be able to sell the legging chance which this is nothing new let's be honest we know all about legging chance with level working so you can make 55 stamina and 22 agility you can make 25 attack power and 22 crit rating and you can make the urban leg armor which is 40 resilience and 28 stamina there are the blue versions as well but the blue versions do not require arctic fur so as you can see you're going to want quite a lot of arctic fur you're going to need to get arctic fur to be able to buy your epic recipes that you want to then craft and sell you're going to need arctic for every you need one every time you get a bracer upgrade and if you wanted to sell some legging chance or you wanted to make some legging chance for your friends then you're gonna need arctic fur as well here's the other one quite juicy benefit of level working you don't need to make your leg armor well you do you do you do i'll take that back let me just show you you can actually place the 55 stamina and 22 agility leg enchant on your own legs so this is purely for you it's soul bound for two jaw manga scales or for two nerubian chitting you can put the 75 attack power and 22 crit which makes using these legging chance for you yourself incredibly cheap let's say you only upgrade your legs once or twice in each phase it's gonna add up in the amount of gold that you're gonna save throughout the expansion especially when you think that the fur linings are not that big of a deal in comparison to everything else like we've looked at there's not that big of a difference between the attack power gain the spell power gain or even the stamina gain when you're comparing it directly to the amount of gain you get from those from other professions so i'm taking joelcraft and blacksmithing out where you can actually get more than just those stats but versus the other professions it's not actually that bad so as a druid being able to enchant you know your feral dps legs and your feral tank legs for practically no cost and be able to upgrade both of your sets of braces i was about to say practically no cost again but arctic furs are probably going to be quite expensive to begin with so there will be a bit of cost involved it is really good and in the intro i did mention about being able to make drums so you can farm icy dragon scales and heavy borean leather or jumunga scales and heavy boring leather to be able to make drums of the wild and drums of forgotten kings now you might be like well no one's going to need those actually we use them more than you you would think because there are certain circumstances where you're doing a 10 man and you haven't got a druid why not take you know some drums if you've got a level worker in the group who can quickly just craft a set or you can just go and buy them off the auction house why not take them why if you've only got one paladin do without kings now i know it's not the full 10 like a proper version of kings the same way the mark of the wild or the drums of the wild are not as good as an actual druids mark of the world of gifts to the world but it's not far off and if it means you can take the drums of kings and get bomb or bow and almost as strong as a paladin's blessing of kings why not now you do get a couple of capes that you can make one being a tank cake with dodge and expertise and the other actually being an agility cake with haste and attack power and then on the vendor is going to be where you get the majority of your recipes that don't come outside of raids and really there's a full blue set for basically anyone that can wear level or mal and this when i say a pvp set it's only 187i level but it has resilience on so if you're going to get straight into pvp as a rogue or as a resto druid or as a shaman or whatever you can get a full set of this made every item will have resilience on and you'll get a stamina bonus and an additional 50 resilience for having the six set bonus so early on for pvpers it's actually not too bad if you're wanting to get that big boost of resilience or even if you're just trying to get the eye level to be able to get into groups for heroics or whatever you know 187 is it 187 is decent you know to say it's just crafted and only requires level 78 it's better than anything you would have been using from tier 6 for example even though item level wise it's gonna be better stat wise probably not and you can also then get some epics a little bit further on the pages but i think you get where we're going from here and the same applies as we go for each phaser braid in ulduar you're going to get new recipes drop that you can make in talk you're going to get new recipes drop that you can make and these recipes that drop in the raids actually do require arctic fur so stocking up on arctic fur quite early because some of these recipes are going to be really expensive by the way they're going to require room dorms which drop in the raids and they they genuinely are some of the the better items you can get before hard modes so absolutely people are gonna want to be getting these crafted so if you've got big stacks of arctic fur in phase one before phase two launches when ulduar comes out you're already in a good place and you get where i'm going with this trial of the crusader also drops a load more level working recipes which require arctic furs and even more arctic furs this time round but again very very good items that people are gonna want crafted so actually being a level worker for your guild for your raid whatever there's nothing wrong with that the benefit that you're gonna get personally is decent might not be quite as good as jewelcrafting because for most classes it won't be the only class that really springs to mind where this is stronger than dual crafting but even then you'd pair it with dual crafting would be a feral tank and quite honestly outside of that that's it outside of that that's it but that don't make sense does it outside of that that's it no i shouldn't drink when i'm doing videos but really that's it that's everything i would say you need to know about level working the bonuses you're going to get personally are nice saving gold on legging chance is nice the gear that you're gonna be making throughout the tiers not necessarily phase one let's be honest the phase one gear is it's all right you know people are gonna want it but they don't need it but still people will buy it so you can make some gold but for level working to really be worthwhile you do need a skinner and you're probably not going to want skinning on your main character so unless you're going skinny level working to begin with and then dropping skin in for something else once you've stocked up on loads of mats you know what way around you do these things entirely up to you because it's your character your game you pay to play it so don't listen to me do what you want go mining and herbalism no no no don't do that that's stupid but anyway thank you for watching if you're not already subscribed to the channel subscribe for
