Skinning skill up questionFollow

Does it matter what level you are when you are skinning to get a skill up? Or does it matter what the color of the mob is (the "Skinnable" color, that is)? Or is it a combination?

I ask because I have a level 61 that I started skinning with. He's got 225 skinning and it seems like he gets a skillup off of Orange like one out of five and yellow 1 out of 10-12 and hardly anything from greens. However, I have a level 35 character and he gets points from greens like one out of five and even better for yellow and oranges.

Any thoughts?

I have kept my skinning skill way above my character level the whole way. Maybe it's because I skin a lot but a large majority of things my level or even higher are green to me by the time I get to them. My rogue just hit level 60 and his skinning is 369. I was level 49 when I trained Master Skinning in Shatt because I was capped at 300.

So I don't know. I believe what the Wiki says though.

I was 300 by mid 40s on my hunter. I didn't get the training to raise my skill cap until level 58 when I went through the Dark Portal. I'm 64 now and I think I'm at 373 or something like that. Skinning just levels. I barely pay attention.
