WoW Classic 20th Anniversary Skinning 1-300

       by        Game: WoW TBC Classic Anniversary Guide        Tags: WoW Classic Anniversary Profession


In WoW Classic 20th Anniversary fresh realms, Skinning supplies Leatherworking's hunger for Light to Rugged Leather, powering pre-raid BiS like Earthfury sets amid phase 1-5 rushes. Beasts drop scraps questing or dungeon-grinding, turning kills into AH gold. With contested farms spiking prices, what dungeon paths secure max skill and stacks fastest?

Skinning's Leather Legacy

Skinning loots hides from beasts and dragons post-kill (Skinning Knife required). Mechanism: Skill check = mob lvl x5 (e.g., lvl 40 needs 200 skill); gray mobs provide no loot, while orange nodes guarantee a skill up. Glove enchants (+5/+10) allow you to skin higher-level mobs earlier.

Application: Stock guild LW for phase 3 Devilsaur sets; solo flip Light stacks for 10-20g early. Expert Insight: Potential risk—elite beasts gray out post-300, wasting pulls; optimal path: Mix non-elites for consistent Rugged without overcap.

Essentials: Knife, Enchants & Pairings

A Skinning Knife (vendor 10c-1g) must be in your inventory. Train ranks: Apprentice in cities, Journeyman at lvl 10, Expert at lvl 20, and Artisan at lvl 35/225 skill.

Pairing: Leatherworking consumes 90% of output. Alt: Enchanting to disenchant (DE) greens from beast kills.

Analysis: Fresh phase 1-3: Light/Medium 5-15g/stack; phase 4-5 Rugged 50g+ for LW boom. MMOJUGG skinners flip Thick pre-AQ. Expert Insight: DM reset kicks slow clears; optimal path: Entrance dog loop only, exit/re-enter for 40% faster cycles.

Auction & Efficiency Boosts

  • Bulk Light early (lvl 20 rush).

  • Hold Rugged for phase 5 MC/BWL prep.

  • DE greens found on mobs for extra shard gold.

Pro Tip: Getting +10 Skinning to gloves from TB reputation post-300 is essential to sustain elite farms in Silithus and EPL.
