Skinning leveling guide

Skinning in WotLK Classic runs from 375 to 450 by skinning the beasts of Northrend. Both spots below work for both factions, and the creatures come back quickly.

Route

Skill Creatures Where
375-395 Wooly Rhino Matriarch, Wooly Rhino Calf Borean Tundra, around Warsong Hold
395-450 Hardknuckle Forager, Hardknuckle Charger Sholazar Basin, around Frenzyheart Hill

Trainers and tips

  • Grand Master Skinning is taught by Derik Marks in Dalaran for both factions, by Frederic Burrhus in Howling Fjord and Trapper Jack in Borean Tundra for the Alliance, and by Roberta Jacks in Howling Fjord and Tiponi Stormwhisper in Borean Tundra for the Horde.
  • Most beasts give Borean Leather and Borean Leather Scraps. Arctic Fur is a rare extra, worms give Jormungar Scale, nerubians give Nerubian Chitin, and dragonkin give Icy Dragonscale.
  • Skinning also gives Master of Anatomy, a passive bonus to critical strike rating, and leatherworkers need Borean Leather in huge amounts.
