Leveling 1-300
The client has no skinning table, so this uses the Classic formula: level ≤10 needs 1; 11-20 needs (level-10)x10; above 20 needs level x5.
UnconfirmedForever check: 113 mob+level pairs skinned by 2+ players; none below the formula so far.

Approach: skin what you kill while leveling; as long as your skill keeps up with mob level x5 you won't get stuck.
Launch week
Method We have no auction-house data, so there are no prices here - only who needs what and how much. Amounts = raw materials for one 1-300 run of each profession's route (bars converted back to ore with the client's smelting recipes).
What crafters will need from you
| Material | All professions | Who needs it (qty) |
|---|---|---|
 Rugged Leather | 1274 | Leatherworking 670, Blacksmithing 332, Tailoring 272 |
 Light Leather | 584 | Leatherworking 584 |
 Medium Leather | 453 | Leatherworking 422, Engineering 17, Blacksmithing 14 |
 Heavy Leather | 424 | Leatherworking 359, Blacksmithing 65 |
 Thick Leather | 265 | Leatherworking 143, Blacksmithing 122 |
 Heavy Scorpid Scale | 257 | Leatherworking 257 |
 Raptor Hide | 66 | Leatherworking 66 |
 Green Whelp Scale | 46 | Leatherworking 46 |
 Rugged Hide | 5 | Leatherworking 5 |
- Top three by demand: Rugged Leather, Light Leather, Medium Leather. The more people leveling professions, the more these are contested in week one.
Leatherworking is 76% of all leather demand in the table; the rest comes from other routes such as Blacksmithing and Tailoring.
Generated from our data: the Forever client 1.60.1.70532 (recipes, colors, materials, gathering needs), the Classic baseline (trainer positions, node counts; vmangos) and addon observations (2+ players must agree). Unconfirmed items: trust the game. No auction data, so no prices.
