WotLK Leatherworking Recipes
August 30, 2008 by Zuggy · Leave a Comment
With any expansion you can typically expect to see some additions and improvements to all the professions, but I’m particularly excited about the recent change to leatherworking. Several new recipes have already been confirmed to exist in beta, check them out below.
- Fur Lining - Attack Power — Permanently enchant bracers to increase attack power by 120. Can only be used on the leatherworker’s bracers, and doing so will cause them to become soulbound.
- Fur Lining - Stamina — Permanently enchant bracers to increase stamina by 90. Can only be used on the leatherworker’s bracers, and doing so will cause them to become soulbound.
- Fur Lining - Spell Damage — Permanently enchant bracers to increase spell power by 70. Can only be used on the leatherworker’s bracers, and doing so will cause them to become soulbound.
- Fur Lining - Fire Resist — Permanently enchant bracers to increase your fire resistance by 60. Can only be used on the leatherworker’s bracers, and doing so will cause them to become soulbound.
- Fur Lining - Frost Resist — Permanently enchant bracers to increase your frost resistance by 60. Can only be used on the leatherworker’s bracers, and doing so will cause them to become soulbound.
- Fur Lining - Shadow Resist — Permanently enchant bracers to increase your shadow resistance by 60. Can only be used on the leatherworker’s bracers, and doing so will cause them to become soulbound.
- Fur Lining - Nature Resist – Permanently enchant bracers to increase your nature resistance by 60. Can only be used on the leatherworker’s bracers, and doing so will cause them to become soulbound.
- Fur Lining - Arcane Resist — Permanently enchant bracers to increase your arcane resistance by 60. Can only be used on the leatherworker’s bracers, and doing so will cause them to become soulbound.
While it may seem like a small step it’s certainly a move in the right direction. Leatherworking is one of several professions that have been somewhat neglected. Generally speaking it’s these type of crafting professions that end up offering little to no benefit end game. These include tailoring, blacksmithing and leatherworking. This early leatherworking buff leads me to believe there will be similar changes in store for the all the other professions.
In Burning Crusade these crafting professions were great to have when you initially hit 70, but as soon as you get some of the even better armor and items these quickly become dated and worthless. Thus leaving with you a profession that amounted to basically nothing for the last 75% of the expansion. It will be difficult for Blizzard to create enough reason for me seriously consider going a crafting profession, but with additional benefits like this it certainly will peak my interest in the future. Hopefully we’ll see more of this.
The Violet Eye Reputation Guide
June 30, 2008 by Zuggy · Leave a Comment
The Violet Eye is the reputation associated with the 10-man raid instance, Karazhan. Being it’s the first 10-man instance in the Burning Crusade, chances are you’ll be spending plenty of time there. There is a host of great items, patterns, and other rewards you can attain from this faction.
How do I gain reputation with The Violet Eye?
Gaining reputation with the Violet Eye is very straight forward, kill trash mobs and kill the bosses inside of Karazhan. In addition to kill the monsters inside the dungeon you can also complete the few quest chains associated with the dungeon. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you’re looking at it) most of the quest objectives and starting locations are right outside of Karazhan itself.
The first quest you’ll pick up is your ring quest. There are 4 quests, one for each class of ring: healer, damage caster, melee dps, and tank. Each quest has 4 tier of rings you’ll be rewarded with as you gain reputation.

Alchemy 1-375 Leveling Guide
June 20, 2008 by Zuggy · Leave a Comment
Alchemy truly is one of the greatest professions in World of Warcraft. It’s the type of profession that can be used by players in every sector of this game. From raiding and PvE to battlegrounds and PvP, alchemy has something to offer to everyone. There are great potions, items, and plenty of was to make tons of gold with the profession. As with any profession we want to find the fastest (and cheapest!) ways of leveling it, you’ll find exactly that in the guide below.
The following is a list of all of the herbs you’ll need to level alchemy from 1 to 375. These numbers are going to be very close if not exact in most cases, but the higher level recipes will have a higher chance to not gain a point. In these cases you may need additional herbs for particular levels.
| Herbs: | Amount: | Vials: | Amount: |
| Peacebloom | 60 | Empty Vial | 75 |
| Silverleaf | 60 | Leaded Vial | 65 |
| Briarthorn | 80 | Crystal Vial | 130 |
| Bruiseweed | 30 | Imbued Vial | 65 |
| Mageroyal | 15 | ||
| Stranglekelp | 40 | ||
| Liferoot | 30 | ||
| Kingsblood | 30 | ||
| Goldthorn | 45 | ||

| Mountain Silversage | 20 | ||
| Felweed | 10 | ||
| Ragveil | 80 | ||
| Dreaming Glory | 55 | ||
| Nightmare Vine | 40 |
You can either choose to gather the materials and make potions / elixirs as you level, or simply purchase everything all at once. Either way, below you’ll find a detailed listed of every potion you should be making and at what levels.
Obviously there are any number of possible combinations, but the following list is the the most efficient version I’ve found. In addition, all of the potions can be easily sold or may be useful to you.
