20x Knothide Leather – 100 Knothide Leather Scraps
310-325
25x Knothide Armor Kit – 100 Knothide Leather
The recipe is yellow, so skill points are then no longer guaranteed and you may need to make the recipe more times, requiring more materials than specified.
Pick up Pattern: Heavy Knothide Leather from Cro Threadstrong in Lower City, Shattrath.
Other options are Haferet on the Azuremyst Isle or Zaralda in Silvermoon.
325-335

335-350
28x Thick Draenic Vest – 392 Knothide Leather , 84 Rune Thread
The recipe is yellow from 340, so skill points are then no longer guaranteed and you may need to make the recipe more times, requiring more materials than specified.
350-360
30x Heavy Knothide Leather Kit – 90 Heavy Knothide Leather
The recipe is yellow from 355, so skill points are then no longer guaranteed and you may need to make the recipe more times, requiring more materials than specified.
The recipe turns green at 360, so you need a little bit of luck to reach 360. You may have to craft it several times more if you’re unlucky.
365-372
16x Drums of Battle – 96 Heavy Knothide Leather, 64 Thick Clefthoof Leather

You can now continue to craft the Drums above despite the fact they are green. Or you can get the following recipe (which is yellow). You need to be honored reputation with the Keepers of Time, the recipe then is sold by Alurmi in the caverns of time.
5x Drums of Panic – 30 Heavy Knothide Leather, 20 Fel Hide
The recipe is yellow, so skill points are then no longer guaranteed and you may need to make the recipe more times, requiring more materials than specified.

Patterns
In TBC, some most of the important recipes you’re able to craft after skill level 350 are either earned through reputation grinding or found in various chests, raids, instances, or zones in Outland. In fact, the only useful high-level recipes that you can really learn from trainers are those in your specialization. Otherwise, you’ll need to find the patterns elsewhere
