Skinning from 1 to 450: the simplest profession to start?

• grows with leveling

1. Real advantages of Skinning at the beginning

2. Best way to evolve with leveling

The good route is:

1. keep the skill close to the character's range
2. take advantage of mobs that would already die
3. don't leave your profession behind
4. avoid too many separate sessions just to “level up”

3. Where to accelerate skill gain per track

You earn more when:

• the skill track and the mob track still talk to each other
• body density is good
• the route doesn't have much dead time

Skinning is simple and useful, but it can lose strength when:

• the leather market falls
• account focus changes

• your phase requires another type of investment

5. For whom Skinning is the best gateway
