Skinning Leveling 1-300 Guide - WoW Classic

DesuelloDesuelloPeleteríaSastreríaHerreríaSkinning Overview in WoW Classic

You must have a Cuchillo para desollar in your inventory to use Skinning.

You can only skin a corpse after it has been looted completely. If another player has killed a skinnable mob, loots it out, and leaves, feel free to skin it. If it doesn't show as skinnable but you know it normally is, it just means that player did not loot it out.

Skinnable mobs don't look different, but will show up with a tooltip that says "Skinnable" at the bottom of it can be skinned. If "Skinnable" is in red, it means it's beyond your current skinning level to skin.

Escama de escórpido gruesa are skinned only, and there are only two zones where you can find the right scorpids: Burning Steppes and Silithus. They are needed for the Heavy Scorpid Set: Patrón: sobrehombros de escórpido gruesos, Patrón: brazales de escórpido gruesos, Patrón: yelmo de escórpido grueso, Patrón: guanteletes de escórpido gruesos, Patrón: jubón de escórpido grueso, Patrón: leotardos de escórpido gruesos, Patrón: cinturón de escórpido grueso

Notable Dragonscales from Skinning Mobs

The best lower-level outdoor camp for Dragontina verdes is the same Swamp of Sorrows camp you will use for hunting Worn Dragonscales. They are needed for the Green Dragonscale Set: Patrón: coraza de dragontina verde, Patrón: leotardos de dragontina verde, Guanteletes de dragontina verde

Cuero gruesoCuero pesadoCuero bastoDepósito de hierroHorde Skinning War Effort Quests

All leather quests require only 10 turn-ins as opposed to 20 for all other profession-resource quests, so you have to complete half as many turn-ins to earn the same number of Commendations.

The Horde get three quests with heavy overlap between them: , and . If you are high enough level, you can target mobs that maximize the amount of Cuero basto you get (for the 10-commendation turn-ins) but the Cuero grueso you get as a potential secondary skin is useful for the 7-commendation turn-ins, so your skinning time is never wasted. If you're a bit lower, you can target mostly Thick Leather and get Heavy Leather as a potential byproduct. It wins all around.

While there are a number of ideal farms, there are enough secondary farms in less well-known places that you shouldn't need to compete too directly for spawn.

Comentario de marth354

A pretty decent guide. The only recommendation I would make is including the scales you can skin, i.e scorpid scales, silithid chitin, etc..., in the leather section. Since Leatherworking can make mail armor with them I am sure they will be useful for some people.

Comentario de Sasdeadeye

Thank you for a good, well-written, comprehensive guide. My only recommendation to improve it would be to specify particular mobs that are good to farm, as opposed to just zones, and what leathers they may drop. There are always areas with a particularly high density of beasts that are easy to kill. Stranglethorn is awesome, as you mentioned, because most enemies are beasts. Anyway, thanks again and keep up the good work!

Comentario de Arwynge

Nice overview. Regarding the section of Quick Facts, if I'm not mistaken, the requirements for Expert and Artisan is not only the skill level stated (125 and 200), but also a character level of 10 for Expert and 25 for Artisan (i.e. lower than the production professions, but still not 0); perhaps you might want to add that. In the section on How to Skin "queue" have mistakenly used instead of "cue."

Comentario de Tigerfeli

Wonderful guide, thank you.

A small suggestion to improve the guide, could you please make a table of where the earliest profession vendors are for each race to get the Skinning Knife? That would really help people getting started.

Comentario de thaarael

I'd say - you should consider adding Duskwood map as alternative for Hilsbrand (for Alliance players), due to Worgens abudance. You can skin those in Classic, they come in great numbers, are skinned for both Medium and Heavy Leather, and due to popularity of quests here, you will always get something to scavenge in addition to your own kills. It is viable also due to proximity to STV, so at lower levels (around 30) you can roam between those two places if spots in one are overcrowded (or Horde partisant rogues get out of controll in STV), and you will still get decent skinning run. Also, due to Worgens being humanoid-type opponent, you can count on bonus lot from chests in their area, which can net you some usefull potions and decent greens for sale.

Comentario de Sindragozer

Just found this guide when i was checking where to learn journeyman skinning :D
Great guide Quissy! Thanks for the info!
Also, you can skin critters. I didn't know that until a minute ago. I've been killing a bunch of critters and skinning them for super easy skill ups.

Comentario de BadRNG777

This is a bit of a specific tip, but if you are a druid you can level 1-75 quickly by farming the critters in Moonglade. Deer and rabbits both give skill ups until then, and there are a huge amount of them around the zone along the roads. 1-75 took me a bit less than 20 minutes, each critter dies in a single moonfire and you never need to wait for respawn.

You can ignore the squirrels. I guess squirrel leather is just not fashionable in Azeroth.

Comentario de Benkkku

A bit frustrating to run all the way to Hillsbrad Foothills to find out you can't actually skin anything with 100 skinning over there. The minimum for a lvl 21 bear is 105 skinning.

Comentario de NotJackSmiles

The map for the 250-300 section is of the Hinterlands, not Ungoro.

Comentario de drelicharcz

I appreciate the amount of effort that has gone into this guide, but it is lacking.

I reached 100 in skinning in Loch Modan as shown and travled to Hillsbrad Foothills. I can skin nothing there! I don't have the skill.
I then traveled to Welands as shown and again I can skin nothing there!

The smalest of Tigers in Stranglethorn requires 155 and the guides says 150!

Comentario de thaarael

Another useful side note - you would want to consider farming Wyrmkin type of Dragonkin mobs, as those are, as far as I noticed, only non-dungeon mobs that can give you more than one leather per skinning. Not sure if this applies for all, or only of those in 40s range, but as far as my experience goes, Wyrmkin in both Dustwallow (black ones) and in Swamp of Sorrows (green Wyrmkins and Scalebanes) have approx. 50% chance of give two leathers (either Heavy or Thick) instead of one if Leather is skinned. As those are, at least for now (Phase 1) non-elites, and Green Scalebanes gives Green Dragonscale too (and thus Black Wyrmkins in Dustwallow should give Black Dragonscale too), this makes them very desirable farming objective in 40-45lvl bracket.

@EDIT
OK, I went to Dustwallow to check again, also checked drop rates on WoWhead, and apparently (and sadly) you cannot skin Black Dragonscale from Firemanes there, which is sad, and skin rates for Worn Dragonscale are lower than on Swamp of Sorrows, which is even sadder. However, in same time Firemanes seems to give double amount of leather more often than Greens in SoS, and are easier to farm for physical damage oriented classes due to their lower armor (as 45lvl Hunter, with 100 DPS and 215-245 base damage with 2.30 speed I was dealing 30-40 more damage each hit to Firemanes than to Greens). That makes Firemanes in Dustwallow excellent spot for Heavy/Thick leather farm, both for crafting and for sale - also due to fact that other skinnable mobs in Dustwallow are around level 40, in opposition to ~36 in SoS, and thus give only Heavy and Thick leather, so you don't have to worry about too much waste with Medium.
As all those dragonkins are non-elite right now, and farming them is much more time effective than other mobs in this level range, I'd say that you really should reflect that in guide :)

Comentario de Nohjtar

Great guide! However, I believe the guide is missing the Horde skinning trainer at Camp Taurajo.

Comentario de Cambrius13

This is a damn fine guide, Quissy. Thank you! :)

Comentario de FourteeTwo

If Ruined Leather Scraps stop dropping at level 15, then I want to be in East Loch Modan, not West.

Comentario de Terlanna

Hi,

Can a Druid go over 305 skinning in classic?
Since we can't use daggers and swords?

Comentario de Rayearthx

Aerie Peak is also wrong, it starts at 205.

Comentario de Sarniezz

An ok beginner guide, but a better way would've been: Skinning level / Mob level. For example, upon reaching 210 skinning, you can start skinning level 42 mobs. Etc. Then just list locations with those level mobs.

Also, a useful thing to know is if you multiply the mob level by 5, you get the Skinning lvl required to be able to skin that mob. So if it's level 45, multiply by 5, minimum skinning level required would be 225.

Comentario de hollyw

"Don't forget to learn Artisan Skinning at 200." Great idea - maybe you could have mentioned WHERE?

Comentario de LeroyII

The Scorpions, Hyenas, & Basilisks in Tanaris are good for skinning up to level 325. They drop mostly thick leather with some heavy leather.

Comentario de Savistik

Unfortunately, I did not check the character level requirements in SoD for Journeyman and Expert. However, as of this writing in Season of Discovery:

Character Level 26 and Skinning Skill 125 - Required to train Expert Skinning
Character Level 41 and Skinning Skill 200 - Required to train Artisan Skinning

Comentario de Coldbear

This guide is sorely lacking, including in regards to where to start if you decide to switch to Skinning after leaving your starting area.

For Teldrassil, these are the mobs you need: Restos de cuero estropeado#skinned-from;0-2-10+1;q=teldrassil click on the mob listing for locations.

The guide is also lacking what level you can skin which mobs at. See other comments. Hint: make a targeting macro:

/tar elder
/tar feral
/tm 3

Comentario de damienstarr1

I noticed today that skinning mobs up to lvl 23 can also give light leather. I was lvl 18 with 130+ skinning and still receiving light leather from mobs in Hillsbrad.

Comentario de 123user

Up to Skinning 100, you can find out the highest level mob you can skin by: (Skill/10)+10.
Example: (50/10)+10=15, meaning at 50 skill you can skin mobs up to level 15. This formula applies to mobs up to level 20.

From Skinning level 100 and up the formula is simply: Skill/5.
Example: (175/5=35), meaning at 175 skill you can skin any mob up to level 35. Past level 20, this is the only formula you'll need.

Please include these formulas in the guide! They can save people lots of trouble, as they can simply look up what level the mobs in their next zone will be, and they can easily see if their Skinning skill is high enough to be useful there.

The guide is also missing Primal Bat Leather, Primal Tiger Leather, Thin Kodo Leather, Naga Scales, Raptor Hides, Enchanted Leather, Warbear Leather, Frostsaber Leather, Chimera Leather, Shadowcat Hide, Green Whelp Scales and Black Whelp Scales. Some of these are major flaws, some minor, but this requires updating. In my opinion it would also be worth fixing the stated level ranges for the different leather sources, as every single stated level is wrong by at least a few levels.
