World of Warcraft Skinning

Skinning is one of those essential gathering professions that match up perfectly with the Leatherworking profession. Along with that, you can make decent gold by just gathering skins from monsters and animals you have killed or hunted. For those that have chosen to pursue skinning, its as simple as mousing over the corpse of a creature youve just killed and looking for the word skinnable in the tooltip. Along with the skill level youve acquired, this lets you know if you are capable of skinning the corpse youre now standing over.

Skinning is rather simple, much like the other professions, but even more so because it can be done while grinding. Instead of searching for mineral veins or herbs on the ground, you can simply look for animals and creatures you are already killing for loot and experience. The leather and scales you acquire is all extra, acquired from previously slain enemies. It saves you time and still manages to make you money in the long run. And while you still have to scour around a bit to find skinnable enemies, youre getting experience points in the process.

The act of skinning itself depends on your skill level in skinning. Different corpses require different skill levels and it takes as different amount of time to complete the task depending on what your skill level is. When the process has succeeded youll see that ever so lovely loot menu with all of the available items you can take from the corpse. If you fail and the menu closes, simply try again.

The skill level and difficulty of skinning a corpse are directly linked. The enemy you kill and their skill level while still alive are important factors in deciding how easy it is to skin them. For skill levels below 100, the formula for corpses you can skin is [(Skill Level/10) +10. This means that if your skill level in skinning is only 40, the formula would look like this: [(40/10)+10]=14. Once you reach the magic 100 skill level, the formula changes to the slightly simpler Skill Level/5, meaning those with a 200 skill level could skin enemies of level 40 or lower.

For those enemies that are skinnable, you will see a color coded phrase in your tooltip bar that says skinnable. The codes are as follows:

Red The enemy is skinnable but your skill level is too low.

Orange Offers a higher chance of gaining a skill level (harder to skin)

Yellow Offers a moderate chance of gaining a skill level (okay to skin)

Green Offers very little chance of gaining a skill level (easy to skin)

Grey You will definitely skin these corpses, but will never gain a skill level.

The skinning profession is an easy and rewarding one. Over time you will find that the process will gain you all sorts of amazing new items for the Auction House and Vendors as well, eventually turning into solid gold.
