Description

Dragonscale leatherworking isn't easy, but it's extremely rewarding. I'll teach you how to make this fine mail armor, but only if you agree to certain conditions.

By choosing this path, you agree never to learn elemental or tribal leatherworking; there is only room for one of the three at the apex of the craft. Furthermore, I'll need some samples of your best work involving scorpid armor. Finally, I'll need proof of your ability to acquire the staple of the trade: scales of the dragonkin.

Total Mats is
36x Thick leather
40x Scorpid scale
12x Silken thread
10x worn dragonscale

The patterns:

You get the chest pattern from the Weastlander Bandit's
3.2% drop
Hands Patther : From the Thief's at the same
place. 3.1% drop

Worn Dragonscale can you farm in Dustwallow Marsh 2.9-4.6. some rar spawn and elite whit higher drop rate. level 41-45.

You can also get it in Swamp of Sorrow. level 41-45 drop rate is 4.5-5.5 <---best drop rate.

Or you can go into Sunken Tempel and skinn the dragons there. they are elite so you need a party 48/49-55+ instace.

Scorpid Scale: You can farm in Uldaman or Tanaris they have all 39.60 to 39.90 drop rate. the 46-47 scorpids in tanaris can drop from 1-2 and same in Uldaman.

Thick Leather: I think you got it from before. But if you need it there shall be no problem, you gonna get it while skinning the other Mobs.

Happy hunt. or you can buy everything from the AH if you got the monye. Not always there.

The hardest part of this quest will likely be getting enough regular scorpid scales to make the gloves and breastplates. Check the auction house often. Also be sure to check for the actual finished items, as you don't have to be the one to craft the gloves/breastplates.

For the worn dragonscales, you can either buy those or get them off the whelps/dragons in the canyon directly behind the Dragonscale trainer.

Make sure you are not wearing any of the turn in pieces when you turn in the quest.&nbsp I made almost a full set of scorpid armor for myself before I turned in the quest and the questgiver took one pair of gloves and one breastplate from my inventory and one pair of gloves and one breastplate right off my person.&nbsp My gloves were enchanted with riding enchant which cost me about 5 gold to have done and quite a while to find and the GM I talked to told me they are working on the glitch but can do nothing to recover my lost items or enchant my gloves.&nbsp I was wicked pissed.

I've done both Elemental and Tribal LW on other characters. And for hunters (which is what my new LW is) I seriously suggest you do NOT take Dragonscale LW, not only is it slightly difficult to compete for the colored scales that drop. Also, the things that you can make are more for Shaman, infact, except for the Dragonscale Gaunlets which you'll use even before you probably even HAVE Dragonscale LW, it's pretty much useless for hunters. Lots of +spirit, + intellect. But nothing that has any worthwhile stats such as Agility. Once you get past Scorpid armor your best bet is to start hunting down drops that you can piece together much better stats with.

As far as i remember the best place to farm for dragonscales is eastern part of the Blasted Lands. Elite dragonkin have a drop rate of around 10% whereas the whelps and any other dragonkin are a lot lower. If your lucky Auction House is the quickest and most pain free way of getting your grubby little mitts on dragon scales you shouldnt really be paying more than 3G a stack which is cheap considering how much of a pain it is to get hold of.

You Must have skill of 225 and at least lvl 40 to obtain any of the specializations.

On the wild leather question I believe I read that its required for you to do the wild leather quests in order to go the primal lw route, and will not hurt you if you want ele or dscale.

It's mail patterns you can learn.
In the AH sometimes you see some dropped patterns (very expensive, but they will give stunning blue items!).
If you can't wear Mail, don't take it. (Look at your trainer, does it say mail? Hunters for instance can learn Mail at level 40.)
The patterns for the Tribal and Elemental skills are for normal leather. By the way, some dropped patters are for mail too, without a apeciallity needed like Dragonscale. For instance, you can learn Turtlescales from a trainer (neccessery for getting this quest done), but dropped scorpid patterns are specialisation-free too and still be mail. (I found mine in the AH.)

Mail leather has a lot more armor, but you have to be smart in getting rings, trinkets and other stuff to wear, even get things enchanted, to get your neccessery amount of bonusses on spirit, intelect, etc and highly needed resistances. High level opponents are tough!

And occasional looks into AH's and friendly guildmates will help you get the materials at lower levels too. Low level draginkins and welplings have a lousy droprate, that's true. Start recruiting friends for a guild and get those better dragons with a team. )

As soon as I hit 40 I went over to badlands, grinded for about 3 hours got 1 scale out of it, grouped with a druid before he logged and killed 1 elite dragon and 2 scales dropped.&nbsp I then headed to tanaris to get the recipes and scorpid scales, this took about 4 hours and I hit 300 skinning during this time, once I did that I went back to Badlands.&nbsp I grinded for about another 3 or 4 hours and got the 10th scale.&nbsp Went back to the trainer and looked at Dragonscale Glove's Mats.&nbsp I don't think i'm going to make them for a while.

In which LW should i specialize as a rogue? i reckon it isn't dragonscale by reading these posts, but which one is it then? It is really annoying that there is no list of the items you can make with the specialized leatherworking... Is there? if yes, please let me know... :)

Hmm, sounds like the quest is hard? Do u think this is worth doing.. It's just that I'm confused as to which I'm going to choose...

I usually make leatherworking to sell at AH..

Any ideas? Comments?

I'm a lvl 46 Hunter with 225 LW skill. I haven't started the tribal or elemental skills, and I am trying to do Dragonscale LW. When I talk to the NPC all he says is 'Goodday Mon' and nothing more. What do I need to do to get the quest for Dragonscale? It says I should have been able to attain the quest at lvl 40 but I can't seem to figure it out and no one on WoW knows why. Is the quest broken?

I think there are no specialisations any more. I bought a tribal recipe without any quest or being forced along that specialisation. Sounds much better now as you can make anything.

Basically i wanted to find the dragonscale leatherworker but no one ever gave coords or a general area. then i searched the forlorn ridge or something like that in aszhara. i finally found the tent after searching for a whole three minutes... well the guy can be found at (37,65) once you find him u get the quest and need to farm about 40 Scorpid Scales. i did that in tanaris since theres a million of them. well good luck fellow dragonscalers...

Okay, im a lvl 35 rogue with 300 skinning and 300 LW and i went into dragonscale leatherworking, you dont need to do ANY wild leather quests in order to do dragonscale i got my dragonscale THEN headed to feralas and did some wild leather quests. It may put u on path to tribal but its not like it will force u to do it cuzz you would have to accept tribal leatherworking training from the special trainer. anyways just see the dragonscale trainer in badlands( near the middle ) and THEN go do wild leather quests thats wut i did like 2 days ago.
