  5 x [MisthideBoots] – 40 Exotic Leather

From this point I will usually list two recipes because the droprate of Exotic Leather and Prismatic Scale seems
pretty close right now. Choose the leather type that’s cheaper for you, or if you farm your own leathers mix it up
to make use all of your leathers.

  Prismatic Scale </arel=”nofollow”>

• 570 – 600
  Once you reach 570 you can purchase vendor recipes for the last 30 points (You can
  actually buy a few of them at 555). The Leatherworking recipes are on a vendor in Vale of Eternal Blossoms. You
  can enter Vale of Eternal Blossoms after completing the quest A Celestial Experience (requires level 87). After you
  completed the quest, you can find KrogoDarkhide (Horde) in Shrine of Two Moons and Tanner Pang (Alliance) in Shrine of Seven Stars.

  You’llneed 1 Spirit of Harmony to purchase a recipe and you only need one recipe. You can get Spirit of Harmony bycombining 10 Motes of Harmony. Motes are dropped by every mob in Pandaria, even in dungeons. The drop rateis low, so it may take you 2 hours to collect 10 motes.

  Choose one recipe from the Contender’s Armor recipes. It doesn’t matter which one because if one of them requires more leathers, it willgive you more skill points. You will need around 150 Exotic Leather or Prismatic Scale.
