Skinning



Skinning allows players to gather leather and hides by skinning animals. Leather and hides are used for leatherworking. Leather is also used for some blacksmithing, engineering, and tailoring recipes.

Only certain monsters can be skinned; select its corpse to see if it is skinnable. If the animal is skinnable, it will display "Skinnable," with a color to indicate the difficulty. Skinners can just right-click on the corpse to skin it after it has been looted.

Training
Players need to find an NPC who can teach the skinning profession (look for the word "" under the NPC's name). They will likely be somewhere near leatherworking trainers. Ask a guard for directions. then they will need to purchase a skinning knife. Skinning knives can be found at merchants who sell profession-related items. The skinning knife needs to be in the player's bag, but does not need to be equipped in order to skin.
