General Overview
Leatherworking in Shadowlands have loads of new stuff.
You start at skill level 1 and the maximum is 300.
Optional Reagents
A new system implemented.
This system is extra slots on crafted armor made by players that are Blacksmith, Leatherworking and Tailoring. This system is made only during when crafting, not afterwards.
Based on what is crafted, you can add
- Specific Secondary Stats (made by inscription)
- Bonus effect such as Flask last longer, add a socket, well fed last longer (made by different professions)
- Alter the ilvl with Crafters Mark
Craft material for Legendary gear
Professions can craft a base gear that players will use to create Legendary items.
Each legendary gear need 4 parts.
- One crafted base gear (crafted by a Blacksmith/Leatherworking/Tailoring)
A specific crafted gear to start putting cool things on it.
This is either rings, necklace, feet, chest, legs, head, shoulder, hands, wrist, waist
This is made by Leatherworking, Blacksmithing, Tailoring and Jewelcrafting - Two Secondary Stats
You need a Missive (haste/Critical Strike/Mastery/Versatility) to add on your legendary gear.
Crafted by Inscription - One Legendary Power
Most of what these powers do are similar to old tiers in previous expansions and legendaries from legion but also new ones.
You get these by getting materials needed from the Torghast, Tower of the Damned scenario.
Armor Kits are back again
You can craft 2-hour buffs on chest, leg, hands or feet with stamina.

Specialized Armor
You can craft the base armor needed for crafting legendary gear for leather and mail.
You learn the pattern from the Runecarver.
The Runecarver is located in Torghast, Tower of the Damned. Same guy that helps you craft the final legendary gear. You will unlock the Runecarver on the Torghast introductory questline.
You can craft specialized armor for wrist, hands, legs, head, shoulder, chest, waist and feet.
You can increase the ilvl by getting experience to reach ranks.
The higher ranks, the higher ilvl you can craft.
Each time you craft a slot specific armor, you gain 1 experience.
You start at rank 1 and there are 4 ranks
Rank 1
ilvl 195
10 crafts needed to reach rank 2.
Rank 2
ilvl 210
20 crafts needed to each rank 3
Rank 3
ilvl 225
20 crafts needed to each rank 4
Rank 4
ilvl 235
You only get experience on that specific gear slot. For example, let´s say that you crafted a helm 10 times. Then you reach rank 2 on crafting a helm. Now the ilvl will be higher for helm. But if you start crafting a shoulder gear, then you are still in the beginning on rank 1 for shoulders and must start crafting that to reach rank 2.
Drums
You can craft a new drum (Drums of Deathly Ferocity)
Increases Haste by 15% for all party and raid members. Lasts 40 seconds.
Drums are nerfed in Shadowlands, only 15% Haste, down from 25%.
If you want a full 30% Haste in Shadowlands, you'll need to have a Shaman, Hunter or Mage in your group.
Armor Kits
They are back and you can craft two types.
- Desolate Armor Kit
Increase stamina by 24 for 2 hrs.
This can be added on the chest, legs, hands or feet. - Heavy Desolate Armor Kit
Increase stamina by 48 for 2 hrs.
This can be added on the chest, legs, hands or feet.
Weapons
You can craft 4 weapons (2 fists, 1 bow, 1 crossbow).
These weapons starts at ilvl 100 but can be upgraded with Crafter´s Mark up to rank 1.
Rank 2 sets the ilvl to 165 and the required level to 57.
Mount Equipment

When equipped in your mount slot, it prevents you from being dazed while mounted.
