Light leather: how to get and find it in World of Warcraft

Getting light leather in WoW may seem an insurmountable problem for a young noob. You have to face the problem when choosing professions such as blacksmithing (but also engineering) that matches the mining usually as first / second profession.

When I needed it, I tried in vain to buy it from Stormwind, but then I discovered several ways to get the sought and rare light leather:

• Do not try to buy from resellers (NPC): they do not sell light leather.
  
  
• The easiest way is to buy it in Action Houses (AH) that are located in major cities of WoW (Stormwind, Ironforge, Darnassus, Booty Bay, etc...)
  
  
• If you do not need it urgently and prefer to rely on luck (with secure savings!), You can find light leather inside battered chests (see the picture below), which have a high percentage of drop. You can optimize your time by clicking here, where you find the maps showing the locations where to find the battered chest in the various WoW regions.
  
  
• There are no mobs with a high percentage of drop: it's better not wasting time with them and rely on the battered chests.
  
  
• Create a new character in WoW and choose skinning profession: creating light leather is very simple, then just email it (inside the game!) to another character.
  

So, getting light leather is not that difficult, but not as easy as suggested by this allkhazam.com page: the Innkeeper Firebrew of Ironforge does not sell light leather :-)
