WoW World of Warcraft Skinning

Skinning allows players to gather leather and pelts from beasts and animals. This is the ideal gathering skill for Leatherworking but also good for that extra money your character will need. Leather is not only used in Leatherworking, it’s used in various recipes for Blacksmithing, Engineering and Tailoring. Need skinning guides and information? Just go to Skryer to get them all.

Skinning can be performed on almost any beast and animal, if a mob can be skinned the text “Skinnable” will be displayed in the mob’s tooltip. As your skill increases you can skin higher level mobs, skinning also requires a skinning knife to be in one of your bags.

WoW World of Warcraft Mining

Another of the gathering professions, Mining might be the most useful one. Mining is used to extract ore from metal veins/deposits. Metal is used in the Blacksmithing profession and the Engineering profession. Mining is also the main source of gems and stones.

Learn the ins and outs of mining by reading the guides and strategies at Skryer.

Mining is also a skill that fits every class but is often paired up with Engineering and/or Blacksmithing. Just like with herbs you will encounter mineral veins many times when you quest or travel, therefore it’s a good idea to train the Mining skill to get some extra money, metal sells very well.

Another part of the Mining skill is the Smelting skill. You get it as you train the Mining skill and it is used to smelt ore into metal bars. Smelting requires you to be near a forge, they can be found in every major city.

WoW World of Warcraft Herbalism

Herbalism is a popular gathering skill, it allows you to find and pick herbs throughout the world. Herbalism is a necessary skill for Alchemy and since you will find herbs as you travel, it’s good to take advantage of this skill and train it. Herbalism guides are available at Skryer.

Herbs are found via a special tracking skill named “Find Herbs”. Whenever you get close to a herb it will display the herb as a yellow dot on your minimap which makes it a lot easier to find herbs. Herbalism can also be used to gain money; Alchemists and Enchanters often buy herbs.
