Classic Server | Skinning Leveling Guide
This guide is all about Skinning in World of Warcraft Classic.
General Information
- Skinning is one of three Gathering Professions in World of Warcraft.
- Kill beasts, dragons, dragonkins and insects – you can skin all of them!
- Gathering professions do not use raw materials, they gather them – so they do not cost gold to level but get you gold if you sell your materials.
- Raw Leather is used by the Leatherworking profession.
- It is recommended to use Leatherworking as your second profession.
