Your profession in Forever
Leatherworking turns leather and hides into equipment and armor kits. New upgraded kits need an existing base kit plus ingredients from other professions.
Build skill step by step
Use basic supplies
Light Armor Kits and Handstitched Leather Boots use manageable leather stocks. Process your Skinning materials in small batches and check recipe colour as you progress.
Build intermediates
Medium Armor Kits feed new upgrades. The Forceful kit adds Enchanting dust and an Alchemy elixir; obtain the pattern before buying its additional ingredients.
Expand supply chains
Heavy and Thick Armor Kits provide concrete leather-and-thread recipes. Choose between learned gear and kits based on your material stock and current recipe colour.
Advanced projects
Start with suitable Rugged Leather recipes. Wicked Leather Pants also need a Cured Rugged Hide, whose current preparation requires a Tanning Rack.
- Check trainer and rank: learn the profession and the next available rank. Your Professions window, K, shows what your character actually knows.
- Set a small skill target: choose a learned orange or yellow recipe you need yourself or can use as an intermediate. Green is less reliable; gray recipes grant no skill points.
- Craft in small batches: after each batch, check recipe color, supplies and your next useful alternative.
- Buy new recipes with a purpose: check acquisition, learning requirements and materials first. Spending Merchant’s Favor on a recipe does not supply its ingredients.
Stages are editorial work plans. They do not establish a guaranteed 1–300 shopping list: recipe colors, learned recipes and random skill gains determine your actual quantities.
Materials and sources
Skinning is the main basic supply. Check vendors for thread and suitable dyes; elixirs come from Alchemy and dust from Enchanting. The current camp mapping lists a Tanning Rack for Cured Rugged Hide. The 6 November hotfix sets the Rack’s required profession skill to 125.
Recipes and material planner
These projects show exact ingredients per crafting batch. Change the batch count to scale the materials. One craft does not automatically grant one skill point.

Using the evidence
Checked 7 November 2026. Recipe data mainly uses build 1.60.1.70862; individual sightings may come from older Forever builds. Yellow/gray numbers are database difficulty thresholds, not learning requirements. Recipe acquisition and ingredient sourcing are listed separately. Some German names are fan translations; English names remain available for searching.
Sources & context
Profession recipes and ingredients checked against linked Forever game data. Vendor inventories, prices and some learning sources additionally use linked observational reports. Skill plans are editorial guidance; unresolved acquisition is identified beside the recipe. Some German names are fan translations. No independent live purchases or gameplay tests.
