I updated the Skinning Guide on the site with detailed maps, the maps tell you where to level your Skinning Profession for both Horde and Alliance. It took me a lot of time to put this guide together, I hope you will enjoy it!

Since I don't have any Alliance character, I unlearned my Skinning with my rogue and leveled it up again but at the Alliance zones, belive me it was a pain to go back to Horde cities to visit my trainer over and over again.

This guide does not cover the places where you can farm the most leathers, but I will finish that guide soon also along with the Disenchanting guide. I have a lot more other things in progress.

Alchemy profession changes in WotLK

• [Potion Sickness] - Unable to consume potions until you rest out of combat for a short duration.

  So you will be able to drink one potion per Boss fight. This change will allow Blizzard to design the fights that way you won't have to drink 3-5 potions per fight. It helps raiders so they won't spend that much money on Potions anymore. However this change hurts Alchemists, currently I make a lot of gold by selling potions.

• [Alchemical Blood] - You receive an increased effect when you drink an elixir, potion, or flask that you can make.

  Alchemical blood is a new passive bonus gained by alchemists learned from a profession trainer at skill level 50, it increases the stat bonus of consuming an elixir between 20-25% varying slightly by bonus. This change don't affect Flasks or Potions yet.

  Examples:

  Elixir of Major Agility: +40 agility +25 crit rating (instead of 35 agility and 20 crit rating)
  Elixir of Major Fortitude: +300 health (instead of 250 health)

  Update: Alchemical blood renamed to Mixology

This Enchanting guide is made to help you if Strange Dust is expensive on your server. You will be able to make some gold with this guide and you will be able to level your Enchanting with 0 cost from 1 to around 100.

Yesterday I needed an Enchanter character to disenchant a lot of the items I stacked up in my bank, so I picked up Enchanting profession for my Warlock, because I didn't realy played with this character since season 3 started and I wanted to make use of this character. I opened my Enchanting leveling guide 1-375, but then when I checked AH to buy [Strange Dust] I was shocked. It was 8g / stack, well It's not that I can't afford it, but seriously It used to be like 80 silver / stack.

I decided to not buy them from the AH, so here is what I have done. I picked up Tailoring with one of my alt and I bought around 30 stack of [Linen Cloth].

[Linen Cloth] sells for between 25 and 50 silver on my realm, so the 30 stack cost me roughly 12 Gold.

Now before I continue this Enchanting guide, you have to realize that you need at least a character with level 5 or higher, else you won't be able to pick up a new profession. You can level an alt character in like 20-30 minutes if you don't already have one. Or you can pick up tailoring for your current character, if you don't have any other profession than Enchanting.

Now you need to level Tailoring to 30, that won't be hard because if you check out my Tailoring leveling guide, you can see that you have to make [Bolt of Linen Cloth] first, before you can make any Tailoring item.

30 stack of [Linen Cloth] is 600 [Linen Cloth] and when you turn all of these into Bolts it's 300 [Bolt of Linen Cloth], I am sure that you will reach Tailoring skill of 30 while you are making these.

Now you have 300 [Bolt of Linen Cloth], and propably you are thiking about WTF I am supposed to do with this many Bolts?! Well I can tell you, you will make 100 [Brown Linen Robe]. Make sure you have a lot of spaces in your bags, because it will make this easier.

Stop making these when you have only 1 bag space left. Open up your spellbook, and drag your Disenchant spell to your Action bar. If you bind it to any key, you will Disechant these Robes a lot faster. Or you can just replace one of your already binded spell to disenchant until you are done with this.

When I disenchanted every Robe I ended up with 120 Strange Dust and 40 Lesser Magic Essence. I think it's pretty good for 12 Gold.

I had Enchanting skill of 58 or something at this time.

• 58-90
  35 x [Enchant Bracer: Minor Health] - 35 Strange Dust

• 90-100
  10 x [Enchant Bracer: Minor Stamina] - 30 Strange Dust

• 100-101
  1 x [Runed Silver Rod] - 1 Silver Rod, 6 Strange Dust, 3 Greater Magic Essence, 1 Runed copper Rod

• 101-110
  9 x [Greater Magic Wand] - 9 Simple Wood, 9 Greater Magic Essence

If you don't have that much Lesser Magic Essence, you can just continue to make [Enchant Bracer: Minor Stamina].

I had around 50 Strange Dust left, I sold those at AH for 17 gold and I ended up with around 2 gold profit, while I leveled my Enchanting to 110.

This method is also a good money maker at lower levels. You can Disenchant as many robe as you want, and sell the dusts/essences. Just make sure you don't flood the market with too many, because then prices will go down.

Now you can just go check out my Enchanting Guide and continue skilling up your Enchanting.

Good Luck!
