For many players, skinning seems like a dull profession. It doesn’t lead into another profession right away and it doesn’t offer much excitement since you don’t have to embark on great quests to dangerous places to find carcasses to skin, but if you’re willing to grind in exchange for big bucks, having skinning as a profession is a surefire way to make big profits quickly. It’s not surprising that World of Warcraft gold guides call skinning the most efficient profession in the game.
Skinning is a great way to make lots of gold because you can complete it during the course of your travels without having to return to any zones or anything. Most World of Warcraft gold guides don’t have any special directions or zones to visit because you don’t need them. You can skin as you kill regular mobs. What’s even better is that anyone who is not a skinner will leave their kills just lying there for the first skinner that comes along. That means you can step in and pick off their kills with ease, boosting your totals substantially.
Figuring Out Where to Skin
That said, most World of Warcraft gold guides will give you a few good locations where you should spend more time searching for creatures to skin. At lower levels, the kinds of areas you’re looking for are the ones where high volumes of hunting quests are performed such as Stranglethorn Vale, where the expedition mastery quests, which add up to a total of 60 separate kills for each player, can leave trails of bodies ready for you to skin throughout the zone.
What Creatures to Skin
While an early strategy to skin any creature you see is a good one, there are cases where you will want to focus your efforts a little more concertedly toward certain mobs than others, especially when the chance for rare leather drops are possible.
In Outland for example, you can earn lots of gold from mobs that drop Knothide Leather, and even more from drops of Heavy Knothide Leather. The abundance of this valuable leather makes Nagrand a very popular place for skinners to work. Most World of Warcraft gold guides tell players to hang out in Nagrand and spend some time skinning any of the 180 different kills being done for the Nagrand mastery quests by each player. There are a lot of mobs out here that are skinnable and they respawn constantly. With a good World of Warcraft gold guide in hand you will make a fortune in no time.
The keys to earning the maximum skinning for gold are in knowing where to do your skinning, when to be there and how long to spend there farming for gold. If you can effectively approach every step of the skinning and hunting process with gold in mind, you can make up to 150-200 gold an hour at the highest levels.
