			'''Skinning''' is a method by which the pelt or other valuable part of a creature is removed after the creature has been killed. It utilizes the {{boldmono\|Verb:SKIN\|SKIN}} verb.
⚫	~~The '''SKIN''' verb is used to extract various valuable and sometimes useful items from creatures throughout Elanthia.~~ Successfully extracting a skin and the value of the skin is determined by a character's training in [[First Aid]] and [[Survival]], the weapon used, whether or not the character is [[KNEEL ~~(verb)~~\|kneeling]], the character's [[dexterity]], whether the creature was damaged in the relevant area for its skin type, and how difficult the creature is to skin. [[Dagger]]-based weapons are the preferred skinning tool for most jobs (and yield the same bonus regardless of noun), however some creatures require blunt weapons to skin instead. When blunt weaponry is called for, [[mace]] and [[war hammer]] yield the best bonus, with [[military pick]] and [[war mattock]] close behind.
