Expansion: WoW Classic

Season of Discovery changes up the Classic WoW meta with lower level caps, which also limits what items you can craft and use. For the Leatherworking profession, that means you’ll be crafting a lot of lower level recipes that are normally only useful for leveling up your skill.

Phase 1 Leatherworking Patterns

Phase 1 of Season of Discovery comes with a level cap of 25, and a level 26 requirement for Expert skills. That means the maximum skill you can reach with professions is Journeyman, or skill level 150.

You won’t be able to complete the Dragonscale, Elemental, or Tribal specialization quests until Phase 3, so those patterns are off the table for the time being.

Here are some of the best items you’ll be able to craft with Leatherworking in Phase 1 of Season of Discovery:
