Skinning

Recommended for

Good fit

• Druid (1st choice, for levelling, with Leatherworking): Druids can skin without leaving animal form, and Leatherworking's skill-20 Camp Tent tops up rested experience for the whole group.
• Hunter (1st choice, for levelling, with Leatherworking): Leatherworking makes the quivers and ammo pouches Hunters still need, and Skinning feeds it the leather.
• Rogue (1st choice, for levelling, with Leatherworking): Rogues wear leather, Skinning feeds Leatherworking directly, and the Camp Tent's rested experience helps all levelling.
• Shaman (1st choice, for levelling, with Leatherworking): Leatherworking has mail recipes from level 40 (Skycaller's Mail Boots among them) for a class that gets mail then, and makes the Camp Tent before that.

Works

• Paladin (3rd choice, alt-friendly, with Leatherworking): Leatherworking makes armor kits and bags, though whether the leather beats plate for a Paladin is not settled.
• Warrior (4th choice, alt-friendly, with Leatherworking): Skinning's Camp Chair gives you and those sitting nearby 2% critical strike chance.

What Forever changes

Camp items

Skinning places a Camp Chair at skill 20 (2% increased critical strike chance for those sitting nearby), a Field Guide at 140 that lets players read it for Track Beasts, and a Trapper's Workbench at 300 that holds a trap. Tier 2 and tier 3 items each need a Blueprint recipe item first.

Tanning

A new Tanning passive lets the skinner add features to a camp; 8 of the profession's 12 abilities are new.

One skinning per creature

Blizzard restored the rule that a creature can be skinned only once before it disappears.

Bountiful Harvest

A Legacy perk helps you find additional Scarce resources when herbing, mining or skinning.
