Skinning is one of the fastest and easiest professions to level. If you choose this profession as one of your primary professions you need to find a Skinning trainer in order to learn it and train it. Skinning trainers are found in all capital cities as well as in many major cities all across the map. Click here for more: Skinning Guide WoW

This profession will allow you to gather leather, scales and hides by skinning particular types of mobs. It makes sense that you cannot skin every type of mob so you should try to kill beasts and dragons because these can be skinned. Note that not all beasts can be skinned either, in example birds. 

When can I skin a mob?

As soon as you kill a mob you should first loot him but I guess you don’t mind doing that. After looting a mob you will see a skinning pointer when you rollover the mob with your mouse pointer. You will gain skill levels by plain skinning. As with leveling so it is with Skinning, mobs of a lower level will not skillup your Skinning while the ones of a higher level will.

Skinning equipment?

There isn’t much you will need if you are starting this profession. What you do need is a skinning knife. You can buy skinning knives at almost any trade goods or general goods vendor.

Other useful skinning equipment you can obtain through game are special skinning knives that give bonus on your skill. These knives are Finkle’s Skinner (Upper Blackrock Spire) and Zulian Slicer ( Zul’Gurub).

Another easy way to improve your Skinning is to enchant gloves with +5 Skinning: Enchant Gloves – Skinning formula and +10 Skinning. For the best leveling guide click here: WoW Ultimate Guide Review

Combination of Leatherworking and Skinning

Skinning is a nice profession especially when combined with Leatherworking because Skinning can provide you with all the materials that are needed for Leatherworking. Without the necessary materials Leatherworking is very expensive to level up. You could buy the materials on the Auction House but it would be better for your wallet if you take combine Leatherworking with Skinning.

Leather products are not only a need for Leatherworking profession. It is also used for some Blacksmithing, Tailoring and Engineering patterns.

Skinning – Profitable or not?

Leather is easy to farm and therefore we can make a conclusion that Skinning is profitable. There are plenty of beasts around to kill in WoW. If you have a high level char then it will be really easy for you to grind any type of Leather.

For which classes Skinning is really nice

As with any other profession, a player can choose a profession he likes, even though most classes that take Skinning and Leatherworking are the ones who can wear leather, for example, Rogues and Druids. A lot of Hunters have the Skinning profession because they are the best grinding characters which means that there is a lot of leather to be found as well.

What is Master of Anatomy

With WOTLK expansion Skinners got a special ability – Master of Anatomy. This ability increases you critical strike rating by a certain percentage depending on your skinning level. The maximum that you can get is +40 on the critical strike rating when your Skinning is at 450 skill level. If you would like more on WoW Leveling, click here: WoW Guides
