WoD Skinning Guide
If there’s one thing that the Internet has taught me, it’s that skin sells.
Master Rokk here. It has been a month since Warlords of Draenor has gone live, and I’ve been looking around to find a decent way to make gold. Sure, there’s gold rewards for some of the follower missions and questing produces some cold currency. But a reliable market has yet to present itself. Crafted items are not panning out very often, unless they’re the epic items that can only be produced every 5-20 days. Professions have been a bust so far, and that is not a reference to the picture at the top of this post.
Mats seem to be the way to bring in coin. Gathering professions are more or less in the toilet, due to the mining/herb garden provided by the garrisons. That, plus the no-flying and nodes in the wild being in all sorts of terrible locations, and the double gathering professions one of the DK’s I roll with are pretty much useless.
What isn’t useless is skinning. Kill an animal, skin an animal, reap the rewards of its flesh. It sounds terrible, but the cha-ching sound when it sells is much more pleasing to the ear. And it sells very well.
JadePyrus created a video that points out a decent farming location for skins.
I’m going to give this a try in the next couple of days. It’s always great to find a good place for skin, especially if there isn’t a two drink minimum.

Qelric’s Apexis Crystals Guide
Apexis Crystals. Turns out these are actually good for something.
Master Rokk here. These darn crystals were becoming a pain in my side. Mainly because I was getting them as work order rewards and I just kept jamming them in my pocket, wondering if I should vendor them or just toss them in the trash.
Turns out that they are considered a form of currency in Draenor. Which is a relief, because my pockets were getting pretty heavy. I had to double cinch my belt just to keep my pants up. And you can’t deliver a crushing jade tornado with your pants down. Apparently the authorities don’t think too highly of that kind of shenanigans, even if it does happen to be your birthday and you were a little too full of the pandaren punch at the time.
Once again, Qelric the Undying was more than happy to whip up a video that explains exactly what these crystals can be used for. And while you watch the video, I’m going to empty my pockets and see what else I might have in there that I could use for currency.
Let’s see… Hair, leather scraps, a toenail for some strange reason. Anybody want to give me something for the toenail? Anyone? One toenail with what looks to be teeth marks OKAY THAT’S JUST DISGUSTING!
