1. Skinning
Okay, I were helping a warrior friend of mine getting his skinning to 375, he had like 4 bars of exp and didn't want to spend it on exploring so I spent some time planning and this is what I came up with:
1.
Start with learning the proffesion Skinning (Apprentice max skill 75)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-95 (No main needed) (0 exp gained)
1-50:
Piece of cake, easily farmed around the zepp in durotar
(5-10 mins of farming)
(Almost everyone has this area explored)
At 50 skill go learn Skinning (Journeyman - max cap 150)
50-95:
Around XR there is a lot of lvl 11-12 mobs
(10-15 mins of farming)
(Almost everyone has this area explored)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
95-275 Main or friend needed (150 exp gained)
95-150:
Go to the location Agama'gor (The Barrens) and farm that area until you reach 150.
(5-10 mins of farming)
(Almost everyone has this area explored)
At 150 skill go learn Skinning (Expert - max cap 225)
150-165:
Now to the tricky part, for those who havn't done much outdoor pvp, you probably will have a hard time finding a location with lvl 30 (max) mobs which wont yield you exp. I spent a minute or two thinking about where I could farm lvl 30 mobs without exp from exploring, and I found a deadzone wich wont make you explore anything:
To get here just take zepp to Grom'gol, die against the first mob you can find and ress at gy.
This place has lvl 30 and 31 panthers / tigers, you'll be farming the lvl 30 ones.
(20-25 mins of farming)
(No exp from exploring)
or
Send lvl 70 in, aggro whole instance, bring to entrance, kill, twink runs in, loot and skin.
165-225:
There is a bunch of raptors near the Grom'gol base, farm these until you hit 225.
(10-15 mins of farming)
(Almost everyone has this area explored)
(No exp from exploring)
At 225 skill go learn Skinning (Artisan - max cap 300)
225-275:
There is a mountain behind STV arena, at this place you'll find tepthis and jungle stalkers, just farm these until you hit 275.
(30-40 mins of farming)
(Almost everyone has this area explored)
(No exp from exploring)
275-300:
Get a summon to this location (Felwood):
At that area there is like 7-9 bears within 20 yards and like 2 wolfs, wait for respawn and skin to skill 300
(10-25 mins of farming)
(150-200 exp from exploring)
At 300 skill get a summon to thrallmar & learn Skinning (Master - max cap 375)
(Exploring thrallmar will not yield any exp and will give you a quite large area to farm boars in)
300-375:
Farm boars around thrallmar, you'll get 1 skill every 8th mob or something.
(~ mins of farming)
(No exp from exploring)
Go train Skinning Grand Master in Dalaran (450)
195 exp from exploration.
375-435
I found a deadzone for this in Borean Tundra:
(20-30 mins of farming)
(No exp from exploring)
435-450
Dragonblight is your destination now. The mobs are not as crowded as in Borean Tundra but slowly does it, right?
(20-30 mins of farming)
(No exp from exploring) (Watch out so you dont get too near Agmar's Hammer)
Feel free to give +rep and or tell me if you want to add any information.
