Is there any way that I can skin something without first having to loot it? Most of the loot is junk and it slows down the whole operation.

Thanks

Nope.

As for the loot being junk - nonsense - the vendor trash is worth good money and the meat is invaluable for cooking if you're into tradeskills.

Yup, what russtle said.

Start saving gold until you have all 16 slot bags. If you're a hunter and have an ammo pouch, this is even more important.

If you're picking up meat, don't vendor it right away. A lot of it can be sold for really good gold actually. Even the boar meat you can get at lvl 1 is worth a few gold a stack. That's if you aren't leveling up cooking, obviously.

One thing that might help, since you have to pickup all the junk anyway, shift+click will auto-loot the corpse, so it speeds that part up a little anyway.

Or, just turn on auto-loot in the options menu.

As has already been said turn auto loot on , the skinning takes far longer than looting does anyway , and as long as you have auctioneer it will tell you what trash (very low worth stuff) to delete when your bags start to overflow , i know some say save everything to sell or vendor but i know from experience i can delete a few items and make even more gold , i do this when solo running low instances like RFK twice in a row as i get stuff for my alts and only take out the cloth and greens , its either delete stuff or waste a good half hour running to a vendor and posting the good stuff to an alt.

But that only works in the old world lower levels as outland trash can be worth saving to vendor , and the new region is well worth keeping almost all trash.

When I return to an inn with two full 16 slot bags of trash weapons and stacks of greys I walk away with around 120 gold.

120g divided by 32 stacks/slots 3.75g per slot/stack?

Maybe at level 80 with nothing but quest rewards, 2h weapons and BP/legs, but otherwise... O_o

Yes rusttle, 3g 75 per slot average Smiley: nod

I only keep two handed gray/common weapons so they average around 4g each.

eg:
3g84s
3g86s
3g83s

3g40/stack
3g40/stack
3g40/stack
3g/stack

at 80 it would be more like 160g

4g90s/stack!!

So you're throwing away a ton of stuff then if you're waiting till you only have 2h weapons - your initial response gives the impression that's your normal haul per run with everything, not the result of selective looting.

I only discard something while my bags are full, it's not worth breaking my questing rhythm just for a few gold.

You're missing the point - we're talking about the value of trash taken off of mobs while skinning - you brought in irrelevent and out of context information to the discussion.

People reading your post are going to wonder what they're doing wrong that they can't walk away with that kind of cash from skinning trash drops too and/or feel that those who say the trash is worth selling are a bunch of liars thanks to your contribution of misinformation.

No rusttle, you're missing the point:

Don't trash greys

That.


Turn auto loot on, get bigger bags, AH/vednor/mail to an alt everything that is not soulbound, bank all soulbound non-needed items, loot/skin rinse and repeat all day long.
