Leatherworker specializations

At high skill the leatherworker picks one of three specializations:

Dragonscale — mail armor with resistances (hunter/shaman).
Elemental — leather with spell damage/resistances.
Tribal — leather sets for physical and spell DPS.

Each specialization unlocks its own pattern pool; you can switch, but at a cost.

Raid patterns

Some top patterns (such as the fire-resistance belt for Molten Core) drop right in the raids — they cover the need for fire resistance.

x5 farming tip

Look for world-drop patterns (Devilsaur, Hide of the Wild) on the auction house. Cross-check the craftable pre-raid gear list.
