Leatherworking

Leatherworking is one of the primary WoW Tradeskills. It is used to make Leather and Mail armor, as well as patches that can be applied to armor to provide extra armor class. Allakhazam's Leatherworking page is here, and Thottbott's is here. Thottbot's is a little better, IMO, but if you're interested in drop- or vendor-only patterns, Allakhazam's page lists these on their page, just click the <Pattern:X> link under the name of the item on the list above to see where to get it.
