Skinning Stinksbecause leather does not sell for more than 45 or 50s (at best)a stack. A more conservative estamate would be 25 to 35s.
This is my point,I started of as a skinner/leatherworker. Then I did a little reading and dropped leatherworking and picked up Minning (The greatest proffesion thare is). I currently have around 100g, maybe 10g of witch I made from skinning. The other 90g I made from minning and loot.
Call me greedy but ten gold in 31 lvl's (in my opinion) stinks. I'm thinking about dropping skinning and picking up leatherworking agian and just buying light leather (for 15s a stack) off the AH. If I hade done that in the first place I would be at 250-300 leatherworking right now and making real money.
THE MATH
ONE STACK OF 20 MITHRIL BARS= 10-15g EASY
ONE STACK OF HEAVY LEATHER=50-60s YOU MAY HAVE TO PUT IT UP TWICE
Help me, why should I keep skinning?
