These are the proficiencies of the three leatherworking specializations. The gear is BoP. Only one specialization can be held at a time.

Dragonscale Leatherworking

Dragonscale armor is mail armor. This provides a little over double the armor protection of leather armor.

Warriors and Paladins can wear plate armor by the time this is available, so Dragonscale mail armor will only appeal to former leather wearing shamans and hunters who can now wear mail.

Dragonscale Leatherworking has caster stat boosts, and seems to be best choice for shamans, but hunters are a type of caster and can benefit from these stats.

The following patterns require Dragonscale Leatherworking Specialization:

Pattern	Source
[Dragonstrike Leggings] (260)	Trained at Dragonscale Leatherworking Trainer
[Golden Dragonstrike Breastplate] (330)
[Ebon Netherscale Belt] (375)
[Ebon Netherscale Bracers] (375)
[Ebon Netherscale Breastplate] (375)
[Netherstrike Belt] (375)
[Netherstrike Bracers] (375)
[Netherstrike Breastplate] (375)

Elemental Leatherworking

Elemental Leather armor is leather armor, and any class that started with leather armor can wear it. Items exclusive to this specialty have an Agility boost and statistics most beneficial to rogues, feral druids, and hunters.

The trainers for this specialty are, by faction, Sarah Tanner and Brumn Winterhoof. Manfred Staller will also train any who can make it to Dalaran. In order to gain this specialty you must complete the quest [55] Elemental Leatherworking, available at level 40.

The following patterns require Elemental Leatherworking Specialization and are only taught by the specialty trainer:

Pattern	Source
[Blackstorm Leggings] (265)	These can only be trained at the Elemental Leatherworking Trainer
[Primalstorm Breastplate] (330)
[Primalstrike Belt] (375)
[Primalstrike Bracers] (375)
[Primalstrike Vest] (375)

Tribal Leatherworking

Tribal Leather armor is leather armor. Any class that started with leather armor can wear it.

Tribal Leatherworking has caster stat boosts, better than Dragonscale. It is tailored for balance and restoration (casting) druids.

The following patterns require Tribal Leatherworking Specialization:

Pattern	Source
[Wildfeather Leggings] (260)	Trained at Tribal Leatherworking Trainer
[Living Crystal Breastplate] (330)
[Windhawk Belt] (375)
[Windhawk Bracers] (375)
[Windhawk Hauberk] (375)
