Skinning is a
profession that allows you to skin animals and mobs after
you kill them.To
begin you will need a skinner’s knife, you can find one
at any general store.This profession is probably the easiest
to level since it allows you to level your profession as
you level your character.Skinning goes best with
leatherworking.However, if you want purely gathering
skills on your character, then skinning will not
interfere with the ability to track minerals or
herbs. In this
WoW Skinning Guide, I will show you a quick way to level
up your skinning.
For Alliance, the
best place to skin is where a ton of wolves are which are
by Ironforge. If you are a lower level, you can
simply skin as you quest. Elwynn Forest outside of
Stormwind is also a great place to skin animals. You
should probably invest in some extra bag space so that
you can skin for longer and maybe use it later to make
yourself some leather armor.
Horde WoW
Skinning Guide Level 1-75
Horde skinning for
the first 75 levels is best found in the troll starting
area. Mulgar
and Durotar have many boars and scorpids to skin to
quickly level up.
Level 75 –
150 WoW Skinning Guide
For Alliance, you can
still stay in your zone by farming the Loch Modan area. Run up and down the
Thelsamar area while skinning bears and wolves. This area is best
especially since the following area in the wetlands can be used
next to get you to 150.
For Horde, you can
skin from north barrens down to south barrens. If you are a lower
level, you can easily get to 150 while skinning and
questing. The
Barrens is full of mostly beasts. It will also bring you to
150. Don’t
forget to train when you hit 150.
Level
150-225 WoW Skinning Guide
Now start skinning
with PVP involved. Arathi Highlands has plenty of
dinosaurs and wolf mobs to skin, but beware since this
area has plenty of PVP. The area is large with plenty of
places around the Alliance camp to farm. Thousand Needles is
also a great place to level skinning at this level, but
it is primarily Horde controlled. Thousand Needles is a less likely
area to run into PVP, so Horde may have a better time
farming.
Level
225-300 WoW Skinning Guide
Head to Feralas
and this area will get you to about 260. When skinning in
Feralas, if you are not a high level make sure to stay
away from the level 60 dungeon area in the center of the
zone. After
this area becomes green, head to Un’Goro which is a level
50-55 area that will eventually bring you to
300.
Level
300-375 WoW Skinning Guide
From here your
skinning will decrease the level up frequency. Southern Hellfire
Peninsula has plenty of mobs to increase your skill until
about 310 or 315. Once you skin these mobs, head to
Nagrand and Terokkar Forest. These three areas will quickly
get you to 375.
Level
375-450 WoW Skinning Guide
This level brings
you to the next expansion pack for WOTLK. To start
leveling after 375 skin in Howling Fjord or Borean
Tundra.Anything in Sholazar Basin will finally
bring you to 450.
