WoW Skinning
So you want to learn skinning? Sure the sound of it is kewl, and you will be racing around cleaning up after your own mess. So why not! And I totally agree.
But before you get started, racing around skinning any little furry mob you see in sight, have a read of this 1st, to give you an idea of how to level skinning even quicker! Because the only thing better than leveling up your skinning, is leveling skinning faster.
Where to Start
The main things to know here is, Trainers, Items (bags) & Leather types. Lets cover the basics.
Trainers:
They are everywhere, and for both Alliance and Horde. So where do you find them? Here is a list of the starting locations for both Alliance and Horde and their respective skinning trainers.
Ranks you can learn from these trainers:
(Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, Artisan)
NB: These are all the skinners you should find around the original World of Warcraft game.
Alliance Skinning Trainers
o NightElf (m), Radnaal Maneweaver - Northwest of Ban'ethil Hollow - Teldrassil
o NightElf (f), Eladriel - Craftsmen's Terrace - Darnassus
o Human (f), Helene Peltskinner - Goldshire - Elwynn Forest
o Human (f), Maris Granger - Old Town - Stormwind
o Dwarf (m), Balthus Stoneflayer - The Great Forge - Ironforge
o Human (f), Wilma Ranthal - Stonewatch Falls - Redridge Mountains
o NightElf (f), Jayla - Silverwind Refuge - Ashenvale
World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade (only)
o Furblog, Gurf - Stillpine Hold - Azuremyst Isle
o Draenei (f), Remere - Traders' Tier - The Exodar
Horde Skinning Trainers

o Undead (m), Killian Hagey - The Rogues' Quarter - Undercity
o Tauren (m), Yonn Deepcut - Bloodhoof Village - Mulgore

o BloodElf (m), Mathreyn (upto journeyman only) - West of Silvermoon entrance - Eversong Woods
o BloodElf (f), Tyn - alk of Elders - Silvermoon
Tools (Items):
OK, so now you have learned your skill for Skinning, and are ready to go skin some mobs. Wait wait, hang on a second. You need some tools. Egypt in the games terms, items.
o (Required) Skinning Knife
o (Suggested, but optional) Leather working bag like the 'Bag of Many Hides'
You can get away without a skinning knife, if you attack with an ax, knife or sword. But only until a certain level, and this only frees up 1 bag slot. And YES, your MUST carry the skinning knife with you.
Which is why the 'Bag of Many Hides' is so great, it can be used to store all your leather and skinning knife in, and its BIG. Another great advantage. Definatly worth the gold.
Leather Types:
I saw this somewhere, and thought it was quite interesting. A list of all the leather types available in the Original World of Warcraft and what level mobs you can expect to see them on. In the expansions, there are only 1 type of skinnable leather from mobs.
o Ruined Leather Scraps - expected mob level: 1-16
o Light Leather - expected mob level: 1-27
o Light Hide - expected mob level: 10-27
o Medium Leather - expected mob level: 15-36
o Medium Hide - expected mob level: 15-36
o Heavy Leather - expected mob level: 25-46
o Heavy Hide - expected mob level: 25-46
o Thick Leather - expected mob level: 35-63
o Thick Hide - expected mob level: 40-59
o Rugged Leather - expected mob level: 43-63
o Rugged Hide - expected mob level: 47-63
NB: You can upgrade your leather with Leather Working. Sometimes, I would just get a guildie or friend to do this for me in exchange for some leather goods.

OK, so we got the skill, got the tools, learnt a little about the skinning leathery stuff. So now we need to know where to start.

OK, and thats some of the best places to level skinning profession from 1 - 450 fairly quickly. I think the quickest I have seen someone do this in about 9 hours. Feel free to tell me your score! And if you can prove it, I will make a special write up about your techniques!
Master of Anatomy
I remembered I was going to mention this, and since WotLK, there is no skill level vs character level restrictions anymore. So if you want to make a twink @ 19, you can still craftily level you skinning all the way upto 450!
o (75-149) Master of Anatomy Rank 1 - increases Critical Strike by 3
o (150-224) Master of Anatomy Rank 2 - increases Critical Strike by 6
o (225-229) Master of Anatomy Rank 3 - increases Critical Strike by 9
o (300-374) Master of Anatomy Rank 4 - increases Critical Strike by 12
o (375-449) Master of Anatomy Rank 5 - increases Critical Strike by 20
o (450+) Master of Anatomy Rank 6 - increases Critical Strike by 32
