Fast skilling up Herb+Mining

[Watcher]

Know that is a very old known trick. But with cata and ppl that can fly in Azeroth makes it easier to skill up herb+mining. Wow cache remembers only 4/5 nodes. So if u want to skill up fast find a area with 4/5 ores+herbs close to each other. And hit them without looting them do it clockwise or in order don't hit the same node twice. They will keep giving u skill up untill u are to high for that area then move to next area. I find it insane the ammount of herbs and ores close to each other i got few times 5 on mini map. Hopefully they don't fix this soon as ppl can use flyer now. And pls don't flame me just trying to help out as i am lvling herb and ore on few chars and forgot about this trick. And hopefully can help someone out with it

That's kinda cool, you should post some SS's of some example 4 nodes etc ( hyjals a great place )

kinda old, u can abuse this more like with skinning (as its easy to pull 5 mob corpses together)
code little script to skin 5 given positions and gg next 50-75 lvl ^^

Does the gathering/mining grant the character xp?

Does the gathering/mining grant the character xp?

If it gives a skill point, it should also give xp

Never heard of this in 5 years of WoW.

+Rep, and thank you.

Anyone tested ?

Because the way I posted with 4-6 skinable mobs and one note is nerfed now, so would think this is also nerfed. Can be wrong though...

Thx and +rep for this, after they nerfed the skinning trick I thought this was fully fixed but I was wront :>

[Janube]

When was skinning nerfed? I've done it recently...

[Xeroxd]

I tried it a few days ago and I got an error message saying the creature is not skinnable :S
