TheWoWDBWoW Forever Skinning 1–300 guide
Use your eligible kills to gather leather, then compare selling it with your Leatherworking needs.
Skinning turns the beasts you already kill into leather for Leatherworking, and the Camp Chair at skill 20 copies Moonkin Aura: critical strike chance for the whole fire.
Pair it with Leatherworking. Light Leather covers the Camp Chair, the Camp Tent and the Field Guide between the two professions.
Which creatures yield which leather at which skill has not been extracted from the client, and no community leveling route exists for Skinning yet. The camp items and the leathers our recipe data uses are what the client confirms.

Trapper's Workbench
The tier 3 Skinning camp item is the one workstation that ships with a consumable: it comes with a single trap. What the trap does in Forever is not yet documented.
Camp items from this profession
Every profession adds three camp items, one per tier. Placing one at a campfire gives everyone sitting there its buff for an hour. How camping works.
