Skinning
1-60 Skinning Guide
Visit any Skinning Trainer, and learn Skinning Apprentice.
Don't forget to buy a Skinning Knife! (I always forget it) After you bought the knife, just follow the zones listed in the guide. This knife does NOT have to be equipped.
Please visit my Leather farming guide if you want to farm leathers for Leatherworking!
Beasts in the immediate starting area can't be skinned because that area is for level 1-6 players and you won't have any profession until you reach level 5.
When you reach 60, visit your trainer and learn the next rank of Skinning.

Go to Thrallmar and find Moorutu if you are Horde player, he will teach you Master Skinning. For Alliance go to Honor Hold and find Jelena Nightsky. The paths on the map are pretty straightforward. Just follow those paths and when you reach 330, go to Nagrand.
