Can anyone confirm that we get XP for skinning? I know miners and herbalists in do, but has this gathering profession (Skinning) been included?

but what happens when I skin mobs left behind by the filthy horde as the runaway leaving a fortune?
That being said...I can see why my original question is quite daft now.

I just started levelling another char. Mining does give me some XP, skinning does not.

why should it, mining and herbing are much rarer so to speak, if you're killing beasts then skinning them, you're getting extra xp compared to everyone else, and you shouldnt take a proffession just to get to 85 quicker
1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
2) Unrack
3) Crank out 15 reps
4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day

Yeah but its not like every mob you fight is a beast... In WotLK the only beasts I can think of are the occasional grazing rhinos in Borean, and the Mammoths/Worms near Hodir dailies. Originally Posted by willtron

You get XP for killing the mob. XP for skinning it afterwards would be silly :P

Skinable mobs are in greater numbers than nodes/herbs, and respawn way faster. Experience to skinning, if implemented, would be lesser than the experience gained from mining or herbalism, because the sources of such experience are much more abundant and accessible. Originally Posted by Villordsutch

Mining and Flower Picking is currently giving about the same amount of XP for for yellow and orange nodes as getting a kill on a creature around your level.
I am getting 1-2k per node in outlands, same for npc kills. Thats why skinning doesnt give xp. and I am not mistaken the mining, and herbing xp is affected by rest.

Someone stated (can't for the life of me remember who, might have been a blue post.) that Skinning would be unfair to the other gathering proffs due to being able to just kill a beast and skin it.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
"Do you want one?"
"Uhh.. No?"
"Cause you see, I like to have a girlfriend from each state."
"Do you know their names?"
"Oh I call them by numbers, 25 is the best, shes got it going on."

Damn i was looking forward to grinding to 85 on beasts with my rogue. Say a 20th of the XP. Remember that miners/herbalists can pull more than one ore/herb with one node.
LW's have to pull about 10 scraps to make one equivalent unit. So its like 30-50 mobs to be skinn'd while you only have to hit a node once. Why should Skinners get the shaft in the XP department as well. I'm not saying to make it equivalent to a mob kill, but seeing even a marginal xp pop up would still be fun. Otherwise i would constantly be thinking about how much more useful it would be to herb/alch.
Also my Troll Druid is definitely going herb/mining. $$ + XP + heal/haste + stamina
