Phase 6 of Season of Discovery retains the 300 skill cap introduced in Phase 3 for professions, allowing players to max out their crafting and gathering skills in case they haven’t already done so. For the Skinning, you’ll be able to skin just about any beast or ferocious dragon, even gather the highly coveted Brilliant Chromatic Scales.

Skinning Leveling & Trainers

Check out our Classic Skinning Guide for trainer locations, a leveling guide, and more. Everything in that guide should apply to Season of Discovery.

Learning Artisan Skinning

From Phase 3 onward, players were able to level their professions all the way to 300 skill, or Artisan level – the maximum skill for Vanilla WoW. In Phase 5 of Season of Discovery, Artisan Skinning can be learned from any Skinning Trainer located in the major cities, meaning you don’t have to hunt for specific NPCs!

Keep in mind that the level restrictions brought by the Season of Discovery still apply in Phase 5! Your character will need to be at least level 41 to be able to learn Artisan Skinning and at least level 26 to learn Expert Skinning.

Skinning Equipment

Several mobs require additional skill past the 300 Skinning skill cap in order for players to be able to acquire their scales, pelts, or hides. This can be achieved through a combination of items and a special enchantment that allows players to reach 315 skill in Skinning.

List of Mobs that require skill over the 300 Skinning cap:

There are two special equipment pieces that give Skinning skill and a single glove enchantment:
