The guide states that at 700 LW, your Burnished Leather spell becomes a 3-charge cast. This is NOT true in two ways:

 

1. You can only create 1 Burnished Leather per day at level 700 LW.

2. You can only create 1 Burnished Leather per day at level 700 LW even after not creating any Burnished Leathers the day(s) before (i.e. it doesn't charge up to a maximum of 3 charges if you don't create one every day).

 

I read this guide and power leveled to 700 LW thinking that it would be of benefit, but alas it wasn't true. I just want to make sure no one else makes the same mistake.

So many things change between beta and live that I find myself constantly updating these guides. I guess the 3-charge thingie didn't make it to live.

Only 50 raw hides? Only 50 raw hides? It will take you around 3-5 kills for 1 raw hide depending on your skinning lvl. At 3 gold per raw hide it will cost you 150 gold to make 1 item that gives you 5 skill! A total of around 18,000 gold to go from 1 to 600.

If you skin the low level beasts with a low skinning level, then yes, it will take a few to make 1 raw hide beast.  The beasts in nagrand can give 1-3 raw hides each with a decent skinning level.  Also, if you get the barn as your medium building and regularly do work orders there, you can easily make 30-40 raw hides a day, and 132 per day from 6 large work orders at level 3 with a follower.  There's also the daily cooldowns that give 11 skill per day (burnished leather and the secret).  If you're not planning on doing this all at once, then leveling a profession only costs you time and a bit of effort.

The form Drums of Fury has been added.  This only takes 5 Raw Beast Hides and, at low leatherworking skills, gives 2 skill points.  This is by far the best leather-to-skill ratio, at 2.5 leather per point.

Thanks for pointing this out. We'll get it updated! Does the recipe continue giving 2 skill points until 600+?
