When can you start skinning in cata

In the starter zone, Shadowglenn, there are cats and boars that go up to level 5. Once you head out of there into Teldrassil, there are a number of nightsabers that go up to at least level 10 if I remember right. I do believe though nightsabers are the only skinnable mobs. But the sabers are throughout all of Teldrassil with varying levels. They may even go up to level Once you get out of the small sub lvl 5 area there are plenty of cats to skin.

I had no issue getting skinning to 75 prior to leaving the starter area during the last test. Take into account you have to run practically to Darn to the hut by the bridge to get the skinning skill and dagger to begin with time that you could just complete the sub lvl 5 area and move on to the next area.

Comment by martinmpop Whats the lowest level thats still green, realitive to your skill-level? I'm trying to figure out which levels are still worth killing for skinning. Comment by Note that skinning now also sometimes gives you Strange Bloated Stomach , which contains random volatile elements, so skinning no longer lags behind the other gathering professions in terms of access to crafting mats. Comment by Protip for all the cata skinners out there: the first shipwreck for Vashj'ir is one of the best places to farm your leather now.

Just keep killing the crabs and you will almost always get at least a Savage Leather and if you get scraps you'll get 4 scraps which is almost a full leather. After a half hour of farming I had 5 Strange Bloated Stomach 's, a Pristine Hide and about 90 pieces of Savage Leather this may apply to horde only as I'm not sure where alliance start, they are still able to farm this area as long as they aren't on a PvP server.

Comment by I've hit a snag with skinning. I had it before Cata along with Mining, but now I have dropped mining to add Leatherworking. Trying to find the leathers I need was alright until hitting lvl skinning.

I know Hides were already scarce, but nearly any mob that used to drop them have had their level changed, altering their drops, or removed altogether. It seems the WowHead database needs an overhaul in this regard, though I know they have a lot on their plate, I'm hoping all you skinners out there will take some time to post where you're finding your skins.

Comment by NissaR doesn't like links here, wow-professions i use for all my proffs. Comment by Did the number of skins per mob drop after Cataclysm? Coulda sworn it used to be that you could get between like skins per kill a couple years ago, now it's just 1 every single time. Granted I'm only up to rugged leather so far, so could be different in BC and WotLK, but just thought that "vanilla" used to have a chance at more than one. Thanks in advance. Comment by Did i read correctly, that in patch 4.

Comment by You are right, kaltoran. I've recently leveled skinning and yes, during my stay in Outland and Northrend, I only went one point every two kills. I don't know why this happened, but as long as I hit Cataclysm, it went back to normal. It must have to do with the fact you can level up skinning rather quickly, as long as you're doing quests.
