artisan leatherworking

Does having leatherworking mastery give 100% chance of no degredation on repair like blacksmithing mastery does? If not, can this be a feature for leatherworking mastery?

I really wanna +1 this, but the messaging for repairing leather items suggests that areas that are too damaged are cut away and re-sewn, which would mean loss of quality would eventually be unavoidable simply because there becomes less and less material to work with. Maybe they can get a guarantee for scuffed, but for damaged or heavily damaged I would say there still needs to be a chance for degradation.

I like this compromise, a lot. Enough to add this for metal repairs too, although that would be considered a nerf I suppose. Will definitely be considering it. However, pretty much all profession-based abilities are on the table for rework with the upcoming ability generalization that we've hinted at here and there. I'm a bit hesitant to add this feature to leatherworking until we figure out exactly what the new leatherworking abilities are going to grant. It could be awhile.

That's cool, at least we got some talk and thought flowing about for consideration.

Yay, my compromise was liked! :D

So one thing I noticed about leather working:
So far no matter what damage level I have given a leather piece of armor to an NPC repair shop, it returns in the same quality.

No matter what damage level I have given it to a PC leatherworker the quality was reduced by 1-2 levels
