## Skinning Trainers

You can learn Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, and Artisan Skinning from trainers in every major city. You don't have to visit different trainers.

### **Alliance trainers:**

* Maris Granger - Stormwind City.
* Balthus Stoneflayer - Ironforge.
* Eladriel - Darnassus.
* Remere- The Exodar.

#### **Alliance: Stormwind City**

* You know, I could run an orc through or slice up a troll. I could even carve my initials in an ogre's flank, but I just can't stand to skin an animal. Go figure, eh. Well, if you have the stomach for it, then go see Maris Granger at the Protective Hide in Old Town. She can be found standing just inside, to the left as you enter the door.

#### **Alliance: Ironforge**

* Balthus Stoneflayer is the one to see about Skinning. If it can be skinned, he can teach ye how. Just walk yerself over to Finespindle's Leather Goods on the northern side of The Great Forge. Enter the shop, navigate your way down the stairs and he will be to your left, standing in front of some boots.

#### **Alliance: Darnassus**

* As a culture we believe in letting nothing go to waste. When we are forced to slay a creature we take what we can to make sure its sacrifice was not in vain. If you wish to learn the proper way to take the skin of a slain beast, then seek out Eladriel in the Craftsmen's Terrace. She can be found in the top area of the cabin that’s dedicated to Leatherworking and Tailoring; standing close to Telonis.

#### **Alliance: The Exodar**

* You will find the Exodar's skinning trainers in the Trader's Tier with the leatherworkers. May the Light bless you. The skinning trainer you are looking for is called Remere, she is located inside the little shop that is dedicated to Leatherworking and Skinning.

### **Horde trainers:**

* Thuwd - Orgrimmar.
* Killian Hagey- Undercity.
* Mooranta- Thunder Bluff
* Tyn- Silvermoon City.

#### **Horde: Orgrimmar**

* Thuwd will show you how to skin your kills. Look for him at Kodohide Leatherworkers in The Drag.

#### **Horde: Undercity**

* If you want to learn how to skin things, head to the Rogues' Quarter. The skinner has his place on the inner ring.

#### **Horde: Thunder Bluff**

* Mooranta can help you learn skinning. She can be found just outside Thunder Bluff Armorers on the middle rise.

#### **Horde: Silvermoon City**

* Tyn is quite the talented skinner; she produces the finest lynx hides I've yet seen. If you wish to learn from her, you'll find her on the southeast end of the Walk of Elders.

## Leveling

### **Vanilla**

#### **1-75**

* Durotar
* Dun Morogh
* You can't skin the beasts in the immediate starting area because that area is for level 1-6 players, and you won't have any profession until you reach level 5.
It's not guaranteed that you will reach 75, but if you don't reach it, you can still go to your trainer. Skinning 50 will be enough to learn Journeyman Skinning.

#### **75-165**

* The Barrens
* Loch Modan
* Wetlands
* Reach at least skinning 125 to learn Expert Skinning.

#### **165-205**

* Thousand Needles
* Arathi Highland
* Reach at least skinning 205 to learn Artisan Skinning.

#### **205-300**

* Feralas
* Un'Goro Crater
* Max out your skinning by reaching 300 before moving to Outlland.

### **TBC**

#### **300-330**

* Hellfire Peninsula
* Start with skinning the Starving Helboars around Zeth'gor until you reach 305. Once you reach 305, you can head to the next part and start skinning Deranged Helboars, and at around 310 you can head over to the next part to skin Razorfang Hatchlings and Razorfang Ravagers.

#### **330-375**

* Kill and skin Talbuks and Clefthoofs around the marked area.
* At skinning skill 360, you can skin every single mob in the new TBC zones, so you can decide for yourself if you want to stay here to max out your skinning, or head elsewhere to farm different mobs.
