Leveling Skinning in Dragonflight

Unlike other professions, you learn Dragonflight skinning automatically upon your first Dragon Isles skinning usage, but you will still need to visit the trainer if you did not have any type of skinning learned to begin with.

Increasing your skill is also extremely easy, as any mob you skin will have a chance to award you skill, no matter its level relative to your skill.

You will also be able to increase your Skinning profession knowledge, in order to further invest into specializations, by looting rare skins such as the once-per-week (but stackable if you miss out on looting it on previous weeks) Large Sample of Curious Hide Icon Large Sample of Curious Hide.
