Leathercrafting to 100 (FFXI)

thistlechaserOh my, oh my, oh my. Depressed by goldsmithing, I took a look at leathercrafting from 88 to 100. Prices have seriously changed (many new drops from the expansion areas?).
* Tiger Mask, caps 95, Ice, Tiger Hide x2, Wyvern Skin, Wool Thread, Ram Leather
Wyvern skins used to be amazingly expensive, but are under 5K now. WTF? Oh my god. This is reasonable to do!
* Griffon Leather, caps 97, Dark, Windurstian Tea Leaves, Griffon Hide, Distilled Water
Griffon hides are like 20K each, but still! Basically 20K per synth at this level? Amazing! (Edit: Ha ha ha ha ha. I never ever would have said 'Basically 20K per synth at this level? Amazing!' pre-goldsmithing skilling!)Supplies are limited though. (But I can ask if people would spread the word to ShadowBane and let me buy any drops directly from people.)
* Panther Mask, caps 103, Ice, Wool Thread, Ram Leather, High-Quality Coeurl Hide x2, Wyvern Skin
High-Quality Coeurl Hides are about 8K each, supply looks okay (not tons of them up, but not limited numbers).
I'd likely do both the panther mask and griffon leather until 97, as materials are available.
I'm boggling that I can actually do this. I'll have to drop alchemy, woodworking, and (something else?) back down to 60, but that's no big deal, just a couple of levels I got by mistake.
(Notice I'm not addressing the "leather is useless, I never use it, why should I level it?" issue. I can finally get it to 100! That's more important! Oh my god!)
I'm SO SO SO SO SO SO not working on goldsmithing tonight. Leather ho! I really want to start skiling right away, but I should farm for what I can (tiger hides, wool thread). I can start stockpiling the wyvern skins, though they don't stack...
Oh my god!
