The Warcraft Formula

What would you say to the idea that there’s a way to make massive amounts of gold quickly, while you go about your other business in the game? You might say I’m crazy, but you would be wrong to do so. You can easily grind out massive gold farming profits through skinning. Yes, boring old skinning. Believe it or not, when it comes to earning gold, the most efficient of all professions is skinning.

Skinning is a great way to make lots of gold because you can complete it during the course of your travels without having to return to any zones or anything. Most World of Warcraft gold guides don’t even bother to list particular locations to visit because you don’t need them. You can skin as you kill regular mobs. What’s better is that anyone who is not a skinner will leave the carcasses of their kills ripe and ready for the picking by skinners like you. That means you can make significant gold easily without risking your own skin killing the mobs.

That said, most World of Warcraft gold guides will give you a few good locations where you should spend more time searching for creatures to skin. At lower levels, the kinds of areas you’re looking for are the ones like Stranglethorn Vale, where everyone and their brother is doing hunting quests. The expedition mastery quests, which add up to a total of 60 separate kills for each player, can leave trails of bodies ready for you to skin throughout the zone.

While an early strategy to skin any creature you see is a good one, there are instances where focusing most of your energy on particular types of mobs can really pay off. After all, you can only skin so many carcasses per hour, so you will want to focus your efforts a little more concertedly toward certain mobs than others, especially when the chance for rare leather drops are possible.

Here’s one example. In Outland you can earn lots of gold from mobs that drop Knothide Leather and especially Heavy Knothide Leather. The abundance of this valuable leather makes Nagrand a very popular hangout for skinners. Most World of Warcraft gold guides specifically direct players to park themselves in Nagrand and spend some time skinning any of the 180 different kills each player must complete for the Nagrand mastery quests. The place is crawling with skinnable mobs. And they respawn constantly to give the questers opponents to kill. That means plenty of carcasses for you. With a good World of Warcraft gold guide in hand you can farm yourself a fortune in no time.

There are three keys to making big profits skinning for gold. The first key is knowing where to be to do the farming. The second is knowing when to be there. The third key is knowing how long to spend gold farming in any particular area. If you get good at this (both the skinning and the killing when the free carcasses run out, you can make as much as 150 to 200 gold per hour at the highest levels. With an up to date gold guide and the willingness to put in some time, you really can skin your way to a fortune.
