Alliance: Stormwind City[]
- Want to learn leatherworking, eh? Simon Tanner would be able to teach you. He can be found in Old Town at the Protective Hide.
Alliance: Ironforge[]
- Fimble Finespindle has a shop set up on the northwest side of The Great Forge. I wager he could show ye how to make some fine armor. Enter his shop, Finespindle's Leather Goods, go down the stairs and go left. He is standing by the tanner's bench.
Alliance: Darnassus[]
- The skill with which Telonis crafts armor is beyond compare. You should be grateful that he does not charge more for the knowledge he passes to others. Go now and seek him out in the Craftsmen's Terrace in the northeast section of Darnassus. He can be found in the top section of the cabin that’s dedicated to Leatherworking and Tailoring.
Alliance: The Exodar[]
- You will find the Exodar's leatherworkers in the Trader's Tier. May the Light bless you. Akham can be found inside the room that is dedicated to Leatherworking and Skinning; he is located towards the back of the room.
