Failed Attempt Error Message: Skinning?

Why is this happening? Am I doing something wrong?

Nope, gathering skills like that have a chance to fail, herbs, mines, skins.

It just means that your skill isn’t high enough to 100% successfully gather it, and sometimes you’ll fail. Solution is to gain more skill.

Ah okay. Was wondering if it was a bug or something.

When you are just barely high enough in a skill to gather something, you have a chance to fail. I’m not sure the exact point range where you can fail, but it’s not that large, so after the first few nodes in a bracket, you shouldn’t run into many failures.

I’m at Max Skinning, does that mean I need to search for that enchant to get it to go away then?

also… i don’t want to spam create forums with questions, so I’ll ask another here and hope someone can answer it.

Is the Winterspring Frostsaber guy out yet? I don’t see him where he should be. I wanted to start the rep grind to get it :confused:

Yup. At max level, you’ll need to start looking for various things that can boost your skill level for the highest level stuff.

Thanks for the info :slight_smile: didn’t know that

Finkle’s Skinner is another good source of +skinning, drops from The Beast in UBRS.

No idea about the frostsaber guy, I’m afraid.

Okay, i’ll have to farm UBRS for the dagger then once I get level 60!

You’re not cutting into the hide deep enough
