Max Out Skinning Bug

[workhorse]

This may prove to be worthless and I didnt see it anywhere else. On the quest Big Game, Big Bait you can use the quest item Mylra's Knife on the Basilisks before you skin them and then skin the remaining pile of bones over and over again. You don't get any leather, but your skill keeps going up. The only catch is that you cant skin the same remains twice in a row. You have to keep moving back and forth between several of them (works on other people kills too). I went from 489 to 525 in about 2 min.

Did anyone check this? I had it happen on random mobs, that's why i thought it was a glitch, like the snakes near the ship.I haven't even been at the basilisks yet.
Good find that it keeps counting for lvl though didn''t realize it myself.

This should be moved to elite asap!

[Lurena]

For the people who intend to drop a profession to try and burst through skinning will be faced with much sorrow. This will not level you up regardless of level.

[Ground Zero]

Confirmed. Just worked on my rogue to level up.

+10

Too bad it's too late to move to elite.

This basic exploit has been around since vanilla...

Did this guy really get 31 rep for an ancient repost?

If it's been around since vanilla why hasn't it been fixed if it allows you to max your skill in a matter of minutes?

Considering this is in Cata content, you sir are wrong.

Like I said, this "Basic" exploit.

Its useless to link it since its in elite, but for those with access, check out the skinning bug in the elite exploits section (been in there forever), and then tell me this isnt working by that same mechanic.

I have no idea why blizz hasn't fixed it, but this has been around since vanilla. You dont need any special knife to do this lol.
