When you skill is at a certain level you will need to revisit a
skinning trainer, visit the same one as before or recheck the list and
visit the closet one to you.
You will need to revisit the trainer every so often when you skill is at a certain level see table below
| Proficiency | Level Required | Skill range |
|---|---|---|
| Apprentice | – | 1 – 75 |
| Journeyman | – | 50 – 150 |
| Expert | 10 | 125 – 225 |
| Artisan | 25 | 200 – 300 |
| Master | 40 | 275 – 375 |
| Grand master | 55 | 350 – 450 |
| Illustrious | 70 | 425 |
To help you know what will give you a skill advancement below is a colour code.
- Red: Not skinnable.
- Orange: Difficult to skin; high chance of increasing Skinning skill level.
- Yellow: Moderately difficult to skin; moderate chance of increasing Skinning skill level.
- Green: Easy to skin; low chance of increasing Skinning skill level.
- Gray: Very easy to skin; no chance of increasing Skinning skill level.
There is also a formula you can use to see if a monster will give you a skill advancement divide your skill level by 5
Eg. 223 / 5 = 44.6
So in this scenario you would need to go for a 43- 44 mob to get a level up on your skinning
