Skinning Training Guide
In this guide you will find the ideal locations to skin for your Skinning skill level. If you plan to use this guide to power-level your Skinning Profession, I highly suggest you wait until you are at least Level 50 to train to 300 or Level 60 to train to 375. Or, alternatively, have a friend of equivalent level helping you out while you skin.
The guide follows a very simple format of Skinning skill level, suggested minimal character level for the encountered mobs and the specific mobs and their general location. This should enable you to train your Skinning in a quick and straight-forward manner. If you have any questions and/or comments, please leave a comment to this guide, and don’t forget to rate it!

If anyone has a list of leather types and which mobs drop them (all the other, more specialised leather types) then please drop a comment - I’d happily add them and add you to the credits.
