Leathercrafting can be profitable, but only if you stick to making supplies for other crafters (sheep leather, ram leather, etc.).

Getting past the beginning levels in leather crafting were the hardest, turning that profitable sheepskins into worthless solea (level 11) really hurt.

If you farm your own lizard skins (I think the dunes was the best at low levels) then getting to 16/17 is not so bad. Dhalmel leather takes you to 20 and it’s fairly profitable.

I think I did parchment to 29? Depending on server prices, it may not be too much of a loss.

Ram leather takes you to 36, and that has been a very profitable synth for me. It also helps if you have leveled bonecraft (so that you can make horn arrowheads). Between ram leather and sheep leather you can make good steady income.

As previously stated, the Konschtat Highlands (sp?) is the best, because you can get beehive chips, treat bulbs, lightning crystals, various seeds, etc. all within easy access.

Why are you having trouble making money on Alchemy? I am doing well making status bolt heads (now that they stack to 99) on my server. You have to be careful not to overload the market, but that is true of most consumables.

At any rate, leveling leathercrafting can definitely be worth the time and effort.

Good luck!
