World of Warcraft Skinning lets players gather leather, scales, and pelts from beasts and animals to use for the
Leatherworking profession and other professions.
WOW Skinning can be performed on almost any best or animal. If a mob can be skinned then the text "skinnable" will be displayed in the mob's tooltip. In order to skin you must have a skinning knife in your tool bag and lower skill levels can only skin lower level mobs. So as your skill increases so does your ability to skin higher level mobs.
