Leatherworking Trade Skill Guide for New World
On this page, you will find our in-depth guide for the Leatherworking Trade Skill in New World, where we cover everything from material costs to how to level your Leatherworking quickly.
Overview of Leatherworking in New World
Leatherworking is one of the five Refining Trade Skills in New World.
Leatherworking involves processing all of the raw hide gathered from the
Tracking and Skinning skill and crafting them into leather, to be
used in crafting skills such as Weaponsmithing and
Armoring. Leatherworking is performed at a Tannery in any
settlement. Each Tannery will have a tier level that varies from town to town
and a higher tier level Tannery will enable you to craft higher tier materials
such as Infused Leather and
Runic Leather.
Refining Reagent for Leatherworking
Tannin is the refining reagent for Leatherworking and it is required when
trying to craft up your materials. The higher the rank of tannin you use the
higher chance you have to craft bonus materials. The three available types of
Tannin are: Tannin,
Rested Tannin and
Aged Tannin.
Generally,
Aged Tannin is the best reagent to use, as it will provide
you the highest chance at bonus items and is usually quite cheap.
Levelling Leatherworking in New World
Leatherworking is a fairly simple skill to level up: the most experience you can acquire is from the highest tier materials you can craft, so always craft up for maximum experience. However, you can take a cheaper route and continue to only craft the lower materials, which are extremely useful and can still sell for plenty of gold, as many players would rather just buy those lower level resources than farm them themselves. Below is a table of refined resources you can create with Leatherworking and the materials/levels they require.
Refined Resources | Materials Required | Leatherworking Level | Experience Gained |
---|---|---|---|

Yield-Increasing Gear
Each of the 5 Refining trade skills have a gear set that increase the total yield you receive while refining by +2% per item. For Leatherworking, it is the Tanner Gloves, Hat, Pants, Shirt and Shoes. You can generally find these as drops or on the Trading Post, however some pieces can be much rarer than others.

He also played in the first MDI Mythic+ Dungeon Tournament, where his team placed second. His mindset on tanking has always been taking the utility and damage one can bring to the raid to the next level. He was the #1 Rank DPS Guardian Druid for 5 tiers in a row and top the 1-6 for the last 12 tiers, playing Guardian Druid, Brewmaster Monk and Protection Warrior mainly based on what is the strongest for progression at the time.
