"Skinfinite" Glitch - Deepholm - Skinning 450-530+

[vitaherb]

Hey there Ownedcore

Very new to the forums & just registered the other day! What up..
Anyway I found an exploit not too long ago in Deepholm involving Skinning and a quest.
The quest asks you to skin crocolisks, five of them; using their special skinning blade.
Once you've quest-skinned them, the corpses turn to a-new corpse and you can skin this indefinitely gaining profession skillpoints, without loot.
Quick & Easy way to gain your professions!

Here's also a video I recorded of it going down.

Any questions? Holla

Does skinning give XP (like mining and gathering herbs?)?

Does skinning give XP (like mining and gathering herbs?)?

No. Only gathering professions give you XP.

[SoNET]

No. Only gathering professions give you XP.

Skinning is a gathering profession.

Skinning is a gathering profession.

The difference from the others is that from skinning you need a dead corpse, which means you already killed it and receoved xp! while others you just gather the resources

Should I remove the video to protect my account's safety? Also, I've gotten several PM's saying this is confirmed working for others. What's up Ownedcore!?

[Yavanna]

There's a couple websites taking this without giving credit...pretty weird how many websites rely on OwnedCore submissions to keep their asses alive. Da ****?

This is a really old bug, where if you skin 5 mobs (without looting), then you can skin the first one again for skill-up (rinse and repeat). It also works with Mining and Herbalism nodes, only it's difficult to find enough nearby. (Can also do combination of skinning + mining/herbalism).

EDIT: To do it the old way you had to put skinning on your action bar, and use skinning skill with keybind instead of right-click on corpse.

EDIT2: Someone should try throwing in a Mining or Herbalism node into the rotation, I'm guessing you can max out any gathering prof this way.
