This page goes into detail on the Tanning specialization of Dragonflight Skinning, and will guide you through multiple talent builds capable of covering the various aspects of the tree and profession.
Best Tanning Talent Build in Dragonflight
The Tanning tree allows you to specialize into refining Hides, Leather, and Scales into maximum Quality materials.
It is a very straightforward tree, where points into the Tanning node itself help all of your skinning activities and unlock Hide refining, while other nodes provide Leather skinning and refining improvements or Scale refining and skinning gains.
Best Skinning Talents for Refining Leather
- 10 points into Tanning for pathing;
- Learn Leather Mastery (no knowledge point investment required) to learn how to refine Leather from quality 1 to 2;
- 15 points into Tanning for further pathing and to learn how to refine Hides from quality 1 to 2;
- Learn Scale Mastery (no knowledge point investment required) to learn how to refine Scales from quality 1 to 2;
- 15 points into Tanning for extra stats while skinning and to learn how to refine Hides from quality 2 to 3;
- 40 points into Leather for extra stats while skinning Leather and to learn how to refine it from quality 2 to 3.
This talent pathing focuses on the Leather branch, while also first unlocking Tanning fully in order to get the baseline and Hide refinement gains contained within.
If you are focused on hunting down non-Dragon and non-Scalehide beasts, these talents are a great way to maximize your output!
