Leather can mean a couple of things in World of Warcraft:

  1. A type of skin ingredient item usually gathered with the Skinning profession from a skinnable corpse resource. These items can usually be used directly by the Leatherworking profession without prior processing or treatment.
  2. A type of armor used by the less fragile, but more agile Class characters. Generally better than Cloth armor for defense.

Leather Skin

In this sense, leather is collected by skinning beasts. These items can usually be used directly by the Leatherworking profession without prior processing or treatment. The type of leather is usually directly related to the level of animal being skinned.

Leatherworkers can also combine lighter leathers into heavier ones, even combining ruined leather scraps into usable leathers.

Leather is closely related to Hides, although Hides are rarer and must often be prepared for use.

Basic Leather

There are 9 basic leathers:

The Inv misc pelt bear ruin 05 [Ruined Leather Scraps] which you get when skinning low level mobs are vendor sell items unless you also have Leatherworking, in which case 3 of them can be made into light leather. The frequency of getting these drops off rapidly around 10th level mobs and you will not see anymore of them at all once you are skinning 17th level and above mobs.

Leather Conversion

Leatherworkers can assemble low-level leathers into higher-level leather.
