Ok, now you have learned your skinning skill and you are ready to skin some mobs. Wait, wait, wait a second. You need some tools. or in game terms, items.

Website design By BotEap.como (Required) Skinning Knife

Website design By BotEap.como (Suggested, but optional) Leather Job Bag such as the ‘Bag of Many Skins’

You can escape without a skinning knife if you attack with an axe, knife, or sword. But only up to a certain level, and this only frees up 1 bag slot. AND YES, you MUST carry the skinning knife with you.

That’s why the ‘Bag of Many Hides’ is so great, it can be used to hold all the hide and the skinning knife, and it’s BIG. Another great advantage. It is definitely worth the gold.
