Skinning for gold — Gold Farm · Gathering · WoW Wrath of the Lich King
Skinning turns the beasts you kill into leather, so it pays most alongside the beast spots on this page. The Skinning guide covers the leather to gather at each skill and where the beasts are, with training and tools.
Before you go: Prices for raw materials change with the realm and the time of the week; check your auction house before a long session.
Value: No fixed gold-per-hour figure: it depends on your realm's prices and how contested the nodes are.
