Journeyman Leatherworking (Leveling 75-150)
The guide is getting a little more complex here, remember to go past 150 you must head to the trainer again in order to keep leveling. There's nothing fancy that goes on in this section of the guide, you will start to see the cost increase as you move from light leather to medium leather and the ingredients lists are using a lot more quantity, but this is completely normal for leatherworking.

Here is a summary of mats for this leveling section.

240-330 Light Leather
80-110 Coarse Thread
20-30 Gray Dye
230-310 Medium Leather
40-50 Fine Thread

Expert Leatherworking (Leveling 150-225)
This section of the leatherworking guide will get a bit more pricey as will the rest of the leatherworking guide, if you're running short on gold you will want to probably use some of the advice in this Gold Guide that I've been using.

Here is a summary of mats for this leveling section.

290-340 Heavy Leather
250-300 Thick Leader
20 Cured Heavy Hides
60-70 Silken Thread
50-60 Fine Thread

Artisan Leatherworking (Leveling 225-300)
Don't forget to go past 225 you need to hit up the trainer again to continue leveling leatherworking. This part of the guide is going to be expense, probably no way around it. These mobs are no longer farmed as much because at level 58 most people head to outlands and there's no reason to stay around skinning these things. Going to tell you again that I used this Gold Guide to redo this leatherworking guide and other guides cause it is really expensive, everytime there's a significant update to leatherworking or other professions I have to redo the entire leveling guide.

Here is a summary of mats for this leveling section.

280 Thick Leather
415-465 Rugged Leather
80 Silken Thread
35 Black Dye
35 Rune Thread

Master Leatherworking (Leveling 300-350)
Don't forget to go past 300 you need to hit up the master trainer who can only be found in the outlands. This is the 2nd most expensive section of this guide so if you haven't already, check out this Gold Guide.

Here is a summary of mats for this leveling section.

430-630 Knothide Leather
75-105 Rune Thread

Grand Master Leatherworking (Leveling 350-450)
Before you hear me repeat myself and say this is expensive, go ahead and take a look at the mats summary list below. Now go to your auction house and price all of that up, then come back and tell me you don't need a Gold Guide. Don't forget you can only train Grand Master in WOTLK.

Here is a summary of mats for this leveling section.
