Skinning 1 to 300 Guide by Highlander on EU-Terenas

You can use it as a fast track guide. Just ignore the “Your level” bit. I would seriously suggest that you wait untill your level 50+ before trying this though, as it’ll will takes you ages to complete at lower levels (unless of course you have a couple of level 50+ friends who dont mind grinding mobs for you to skin). I’ve tried to list mobs that should be yellow or orange for your skinning level. If they are green, move onto the next zone listed.

Please note that even if a mob is red/orange to you, that this DOES NOT guarantee that you’ll get a skill up. It’s more likely, but not to be expected everytime.
