In TBC Anniversary Phase 1 (Dark Portal open Feb 5), Skinning crushes steady gold—Thick Clefthoof Leather (5-10g/stack) and Cobra Scales fuel LW leg kits amid heroic/raid demand. Efficient Nagrand routes hit 300-600g/hr, outpacing AH flips in launch frenzy.

Gear Up: Tools and Trainers

To begin, you must have a Skinning Knife in your inventory. The skill requirement formula for Outland is Mob Level × 5. To skin Level 70 mobs reliably, you need 350 skill; reaching 360 ensures you never see a "failed" attempt on elite beasts.

Use portal hubs like Shattrath to train as soon as you hit skill thresholds to avoid backtracking. Hunters are the premier skinning class due to Track Beasts, allowing for 15-20% more efficient farming loops.

If raw Knothide Leather prices dip, have a Leatherworking alt convert Knothide Scraps into full sheets. This often increases the value by 15-20% on the Auction House.

TBC Classic Anniversary Skinning FAQs

How do I train Skinning from 300 to 375?

Once you pass through the Dark Portal, visit Jelena (Alliance) or Moorutu (Horde) in your respective starting hubs. You can also find Seymour in Shattrath. Training costs roughly 5 gold. Fly in via portals for zero travel loss. Tip: Dual-profession learners hit both hubs simultaneously.

What is the best farm for Thick Clefthoof Leather in TBC Anniversary?

The plains surrounding Oshogoon in Nagrand. Large packs of Clefthoof allow for AoE pulls. Note that Bulls have a higher drop rate than Calves (around 30% from bulls). Pro tip: Off-peak hours avoid 50% respawn delays caused by competition.

Where to farm Cobra Scales efficiently?

The best spot is Twilight Ridge in western Nagrand. You need a flying mount to access the plateau efficiently. The Twilight Serpents here are the primary source for these scales used in physical DPS leg enchants. Check AH for prices over 10g each for viability.

Can I pair Skinning with another gathering profession?

Absolutely. Pairing with Mining or Herbalism is highly profitable as Beast spawns often overlap with Ore and Herb nodes. This can increase your materials per hour by 1.5x. However, for maximum performance, Leatherworking is the best synergy for mains.

Does gear impact my gold per hour?

Yes. Faster kills mean more skins. Hunters and Feral Druids thrive here as they have minimal downtime. Using a Riding Crop to move between packs faster also boosts your hourly yield. Upgraded gear can effectively double your farm speed early in the phase.
