Vanilla Skinning Guide (1-300)

---

This Vanilla WoW Skinning guide can help you from 1 to 300 Skinning. With a little patience, you should be level 300 Skinning in no time!

Levels

Up to skinning 100, you can find out the highest level mob you can skin by: ((Skinning skill)/10)+10. Example: ( 50 / 10 ) +10 = 15
From skinning level 100 and up the formula is simply: (Skinning skill)/5. Example: (175 / 5 = 35)
