== The leather helm hell ==

Do the leather quest, it starts in Morcraven Marsh, you will need cheap leather. Even if you can buy them from bots or other players for a decent price before doing the leather quest, this quest will provide another way to save money, which is vital to becoming a great manufacturer.

There is a small demand for leather armours, but its hard to sell to other players. However there are several bots that buy a limited supply of them. So find out which and try to sell some to those that pay a decent price. However you wont get rich or level manufacturing fast doing that. 

Basically all fur clothes are useless - well fur pants is not too bad to manufacture and sell to Trik in Lakeside but requires a large amount of animal parts so its hard to do a large amount of them. 

There is no denying it - leather helms is the pinnacle of manufacturing - it's the item that most people have manufactured a lot and then either by selling them to Trik or poofing them in a school on a special school day. You can actually break even or hardly lose any money at all by selling the leather helms you make to Trik for 20gc each if you do the leather quest. Making leather helms is the main way to level manufacturing.

If you have the money for it - burn the leather helm in school on school day will give decent experience but costs are high. However if you want to become a big time manufacturer you have to invest a huge amount of money into it.
