Your profession in Forever

FOREVER / SKILL GUIDE

Build Skinning by skinning eligible creatures. Leather and hides supply other professions. Forever adds the Camp Chair, Field Guide and Trapper’s Workbench; these do not replace ordinary gathering progression.

Build skill step by step

1–75

Add skinning to your quest route

Learn Skinning, check the required tool and skin fully looted eligible creatures. Choose creatures that can still grant skill. Keep leather and hides separately.

75–150

Progress with creature level

Gradually move to more demanding skinnable creatures. Above skill 100, the profession database describes skill divided by five as the highest skinnable creature level. Use the actual tooltip as your check.

150–225

Target intermediate materials

For example, skill 150 corresponds to creature level 30 and 200 to level 40 under that formula. This is a skinning limit, not advice to fight every creature at the limit. Target Medium or Heavy Leather for your recipe.

225–300

Coordinate supply and a target project

Skill 250 corresponds to creature level 50 under the formula. Plan safe routes and the next rank. A Trapper’s Workbench also needs wood and an Iron Bar alongside Heavy Leather.

  1. Check trainer and rank: learn the profession and the next available rank. Your Professions window, K, shows what your character actually knows.
  2. Set a small skill target: choose a learned orange or yellow recipe you need yourself or can use as an intermediate. Green is less reliable; gray recipes grant no skill points.
  3. Craft in small batches: after each batch, check recipe color, supplies and your next useful alternative.
  4. Buy new recipes with a purpose: check acquisition, learning requirements and materials first. Spending Merchant’s Favor on a recipe does not supply its ingredients.

Stages are editorial work plans. They do not establish a guaranteed 1–300 shopping list: recipe colors, learned recipes and random skill gains determine your actual quantities.

Materials and sources

Leather and hides come from skinning eligible creatures, not automatically every beast. Murloc scales are loot materials; skinning unrelated creatures does not replace them. Thread and wood come from suitable suppliers, bars from miners.

Recipes and material planner

These projects show exact ingredients per crafting batch. Change the batch count to scale the materials. One craft does not automatically grant one skill point.

Your next project

Example: two Camp Chairs require six Light Leather and four Simple Wood. This makes a manageable first group project alongside normal skinning on your quest route.

Using the evidence

Checked 7 November 2026. Recipe data mainly uses build 1.60.1.70862; individual sightings may come from older Forever builds. Yellow/gray numbers are database difficulty thresholds, not learning requirements. Recipe acquisition and ingredient sourcing are listed separately. Some German names are fan translations; English names remain available for searching.

Sources & context

Profession recipes and ingredients checked against linked Forever game data. Vendor inventories, prices and some learning sources additionally use linked observational reports. Skill plans are editorial guidance; unresolved acquisition is identified beside the recipe. Some German names are fan translations. No independent live purchases or gameplay tests.
