The Tannery is a Small Garrison building that Leatherworkers and Non-Leatherworkers can use to craft Draenor-specific Leatherworking recipes.

While we explain, in this article, how to unlock all levels of the Tannery, you may be interested in our guide to unlocking all the Garrison buildings. We also have a guide to leveling Leatherworking in Draenor.

For Leatherworkers, the main perk of the Tannery is that it allows you to create a maximum of 12x Burnished Leathers per day, in addition to the 10x you can already craft with Burnished Leather (less with an Leatherworking skill lower than 700). These extra Leathers are really useful, because they allow you to craft more Draenor recipes, which means you make more money off the Auction House and you level up Leatherworking to 700 faster. The Tannery is also where you buy your Draenor-specific Leatherworking recipes.

For Non-Leatherworkers, the main perk of the Tannery is that the resident Leatherworker can craft most of the Draenor-specific Leatherworking recipes for you.

Level	Cost	Perks
Level 1	150x 50x 1 hour	Allows the production of Leatherworking items and work orders.
Level 2	300x 100x 1 hour	Allows followers with the Leatherworking trait to work here, granting a unique bonus. Also allows up to 14 work orders at one time.
Level 3	500x 300x 1 hour	Allows up to 21 work orders at one time.

In this section, we are going to tell you how to unlock the Tannery, Level 1, 2, and 3.

The Tannery Level 1 is unlocked when you upgrade your Town Hall to Level 2.

Leatherworkers can build this building with a Town Hall Level 1, because they have a chance to loot Dirty Note (Alliance) and Tattered Frostwolf Shroud (Horde). This item drops from humanoid mobs around Draenor and starts a quest line that eventually rewards the plan to build the Tannery, Garrison Blueprint: The Tannery, Level 1, and Draenor Leatherworking, which teaches basic Draenor recipes that can be used to level up the profession.

If you are a Leatherworker and the quest item does not drop for you, then you can buy your Draenor Leatherworking for 100 from the Leatherworker at your Tannery, after upgrading your Town Hall to Level 2.

Garrison Blueprint: The Tannery, Level 2 is sold by the blueprint vendor at your Garrison once you reach level 96 or once you complete your Talador Outpost. You can buy it with 750 . You can also buy it from the blueprint vendor in Ashran without restrictions with an Outpost Building Assembly Notes, which can only be obtained twice, once when questing in Gorgrond and once when questing in the Spires of Arak. so the purpose of this Below, you will find the Alliance and Horde vendors.

Vendor	Faction	Location	Cost
Sparz Boltwist	Alliance	Garrison, next to Architect Table	750
Kinkade Jakobs	Alliance	Ashran, next to Flightmaster	1x Outpost Building Assembly Notes
Rezlak	Horde	Garrison, next to Architect Table	750
Torgg Flexington	Horde	Ashran, next to Flightmaster	1x Outpost Building Assembly Notes

Garrison Blueprint: The Tannery, Level 3 is a reward from completing the Working More Orders achievement, which requires you to complete 250 Work Orders at your Garrison. This achievement is account-wide.

Once you complete the achievement, the blueprint is not directly handed over to you. You still need to buy it from Sparz Boltwist (Alliance) or Rezlak (Horde) for 1,000 .

Work Orders are unlocked with your Tannery Level 1 and allow you to create Burnished Leathers. A Work Order takes 4 hours to complete and transforms 5x Raw Beast Hide into 1x Burnished Leather (2x with a level 100 follower assigned to the Tannery). This means that you can complete a maximum of 6 Work Orders per day for a total yield of 6 to 12 Burnished Leathers.

When you first build the Tannery on a character, the resident Leatherworker at the building gives you Your First Leatherworking Work Order. To complete it, talk to the Leatherworker's Assistant and give the required 5x Raw Beast Hide. The small box outside the Tannery should activate immediately and you can loot the Leatherworking Work Order that you need to turn in to complete the quest. Doing so rewards you with 5x Burnished Leathers.

After upgrading the Tannery to Level 2, you can assign a follower with the Leatherworking trait to work at the Tannery. The higher the level of your follower, the higher the chance that the Work Order will generate 2 Burnished Leathers instead of only 1. With a level 100 follower, you are guaranteed to get 2 Burnished Leathers.

While working at the Tannery, your follower receives experience for every Work Order completed.

You can queue up to a certain number of Work Orders, depending on your Tannery's level (7 at Level 1, 14 at Level 2, 21 at Level 3).

Having a Storehouse Level 3 increases the maximum number of Work Orders by 15, which means a maximum of 22 Work Orders at Level 1, 29 at Level 2, and 36 at Level 3.

Being able to queue more Work Orders does not increase your yield, but it does allow you to let more time pass before you have to go back to the Tannery to refill your queue of Work Orders.

Burnished Leather costs 20x Raw Beast Hide and 10x Gorgrond Flytrap, and produces between 4 and 10 Burnished Leathers, depending on your Leatherworking skill. Below level 600, you only produce 4. Between level 600 and 700 the yield slowly increases to reach 10 at level 700.

Work Orders cost 5x Raw Beast Hide and produce between 1 and 2 Burnished Leathers. With no follower or a level 90 follower, you produce only 1. The closer your follower is to 100, the higher the chance that the yield will be 2. With a follower level 100, you always produce 2.

The cheapest of the two methods is Burnished Leather, because getting 10x Gorgrond Flytrap every day is very easy with a Herb Garden. If your follower is much closer to level 100 than your Leatherworking skill is to level 700, then Work Orders may work better. In any case, in our experience, Raw Beast Hides were always hard to come by, compared to Gorgrond Flytrap.

The Leatherworker at the Tannery interacts with you in one of two ways, depending on whether or not you have the Leatherworking profession.

Buying the Draenor Leatherworking recipes from the Leatherworker in your Tannery is the only way to obtain them. Each recipe costs a number of Secrets of Draenor Leatherworking. You can make one of these items every day using the Secrets of Draenor Leatherworking Leatherworking recipe, which costs 5x Raw Beast Hide. The table below lists all of the recipes you can buy and the amount of Secrets of Draenor Leatherworking it costs to buy them.

Small Pouch of Coins is not a recipe, but an item that contains a bit of Gold (approximately 2 ). This is a way to spend your Secrets of Draenor Leatherworking, once you have acquired all the recipes.

For Non-Leatherworkers, the Leatherworker in your Tannery can craft most of the high-end Draenor Leatherworking recipes, except for bags, mounts, item upgrades, and Burnished Leather (which can be obtained only through Work Orders). Crafting an item through your Leatherworker costs exactly the same quantity of materials it does when a regular Leatherworker crafts it. Some of the recipes are locked until you reach a certain level with the Tannery (see table below).
