Best Harvesting Process Talent Build Guide for Skinning in Dragonflight
This page goes into detail on the Harvesting specialization of Dragonflight Skinning, and will guide you through multiple talent builds capable of covering the various aspects of the tree and profession.
Best Harvesting Talent Build in Dragonflight
The Harvesting tree has some of the best nodes in Skinning, and the initial node immediately increases your damage against Dragons and Beasts in the outdoor zones, allowing you to level and skin faster. You can improve this bonus with further investment into the node.
The other nodes are also strong, especially Trophy Collector, which
allows you to gather more species-specific skins such as Rockfang Leather,
which are otherwise hard to find and likely to be in high demand from
Leatherworking and also Inscription!
Best Skinning Talents for Rare Skin Hunting
- 10 points into Harvesting for added damage against Dragons and Beasts;
- 40 points into Trophy Collector to maximize your rare drops from skinning;
- 15 points into Harvesting for even more damage against Dragons and Beasts;
- Learn Lure Crafter (no knowledge point investment required) to enable the looting of
Bite-Sized Morsel from skinning;
- 10 points into Harvesting for pathing;
- Learn Meat Carver (no knowledge point investment required) to increase your meat drops from skinning;
- 5 points into Harvesting to enable the looting of
Curiously-Shaped Stomach from skinning.
With these talents you will quickly be able to start looting more rare items
while skinning, especially once you finish maximizing Trophy Collector From
there it is all about adding some more items to your skinning table, from lure-related
Bite-Sized Morsel to the Enchanting-filled
Curiously-Shaped Stomach.

If what you want to do is Lure crafting for Fishing then dive right into it as soon as possible, as it will not only unlock the recipes for the lures themselves, but also the rare drops from skinning which serve as lure materials.

Looking for Maybe Meat? This is the talent for maximizing the amount
of meat you get, as you will be getting a lot of it from skinning enemies, instead
of just the small amount dropped on kills. While its potential for gold making
depends on the price of the meats themselves, these are used extensively by
Cooking, and also by lure crafters.
