I completed the quest as lvl 38 NE druid, 225 LW. That said, after some sagely advise from higher druids, I was told I could probably make it in travel form, via Theramore Isle, Duskwallow Marsh, The Barrens, Thousand Needles, Ferals. Instead I chose to prowl in Cat form and enjoy the scenery & the elevator down to Thousand Needles.

All went well until I approached the Horde Camp Mojache in Feralas. I went to the left of the path, ran into a lvl 40 bear who saw through prowl and it went to hell and a handbasket from there. I went cheetah & managed to evade him, after narrowly avoiding a fall over a cliff with a waterfall, only to be done in by a group of wolves (Longtooth Howlers) that I couldn't outrun. They saved the killing blow, placing me right in the middle of their den area, making for a sticky corpse recovery.

Scouting the area as a ghost, the area looks impossible from the right side, so I scratched my travel plans & rezzed myself and made a quick dash back towards 1K Needles & picked up the flight path at Thalanaar, which I missed on the way in.

If you choose to go this way, before you take the grassy pathway leading into Feralas, look to your left and you will see a small grouping of NE's with the flightmaster & Caryssia Moonhunter, the quest giver for Tribal LW. Get your flightpath first.

Logically it didn't make sense that this should be so hard at an appropriate level. I'm convinced that how I completed this is the way the quest was designed to be completed...by the sea. Since the Tribal leather is primarily for druids, this way uses the druid's skills the best...swimming, prowl, etc.

I used http://mapwow.com/ to determine where a good entrance was and started swimming the sea wall at The Zoram Strand in Ashenvale. I'd hoped to go on land at Stonetalon Peaks to pick up a flight path, but I never found an opening.

Continuing on to Desolace, there was a beach clearing in the beginning of the zone. You will see an island to the right & a shipwreck that are associated with various quests. Naga's (Slitherblades) & assorted crustaceans are in the water. On land I only saw a far away elemental & hid from a passing giant (Deepstrider Searcher) who returned to the water. Figuring there would be less conflict on land, I went cat form & prowled across the beach and stayed that way on the sea wall, until I came to Shadowprey Village. I wasn't out far enough as I entered their cove & I think a sandbar popped me out of the water & suffice it to say the Horde village people made fish bait out of me. So when you enter this area, DO NOT enter the cove, swim as straight across as possible.

I rezzed myself as far out in the cove as I could and seal formed my way out of there. As you continue on the wall, you will come to one area quite close to the wall when your fatigue bar pops up. Continue to swim on the wall, the fatigue period is short enough to make it without dying.

As you enter the Feralas zone, you will eventually pass a couple of brown beach areas & & a couple of coves. At the point when the beach area becomes brown & forested again, and before it begins to veer to the left, you are a direct swim straight across to the Feathermoon docks. Stay on the first compass setting (32,x) and you can't miss it. There is a dock veering further to the left that has a boat that also goes to Feathermoon, but the swimming distance is almost equal to get to either points. In ghost form I noticed a campfire area by the Feralas side dock & I didn't want an encounter with any more Horde characters.

Once you hit shore by the docks, you'll find Pratt McGrubben on ground by the docking building, to the left of the Flightmaster. Don't forget your 10 thick leathers!

This can definitely be done at lvl 35 with 200 leatherworking, as that's what I was earlier tonight - was only there to grab the flightpath whilst doing the artisan fishing quest, hadn't expected to find a leatherworking quest chain as well!

you will need lvl40 and Leatherworking at 225 to be abl to do this quest.
I learned Artisan L/W (reached lvl 239 & Skinning at 300) before starting it so found no problems.

Hmmm. I'm lvl 42 dwarf, but about 187 leatherworking, I did the yeti hide turnin quest for this npc, but he's not offering any other quest. Where's or when does it startup? Need higher leatherworking before he'll start it?
