Low Level Leatherworking?

[Roland]

Thanks for the info :) For now I'll just stick with handing out free embossed leather with a +8 patch in Goldshire then :D (Might as well, it gets my trade skill up ;))

Like everyone has said, Leatherworking is NOT a profit-maker. The few who would buy the items generally are also Leatherworkers, and so gain no benefit (generally) from your sales. However, Skinning, which is both MUCH easier to raise and a better profiit-maker, can churn you a couple bucks at the AH. Tailors and Armorsmiths both need Leather, as do Leatherworkers (who generally are lazy), so good leather is always in demand.

There are a few gems that can turn a profit (usually in the AH, though), but those are hard to craft due to the materials involved and thus cannot be relied upon for a steady income. Farming leather and selling the excess on the AH is your best bet. You truly won't see many useful wares until ~175 and beyond, and by that point the ingredients are either required in high quantities (16 Heavy Leather and 2 Cured Heavy Hides, plus Silk Thread, just to make one pair of Dusky Bracers... ICK!) or have hard-to-come-by ingredients (Irridescent Pearls, Jade, and Citrine to make Gem-Studded belt? Eww...).

As long as you can make enough to keep yourself afloat, that's what matters.
