Easily got the eggs, Drakki didn't drop the Tunic but the Beast dropped
Finkle's Skinner and the only other skinner already had it. So I got it on a
need basis and am now officially a 310 skinner! I'm quite satisfied,
considering I had known nothing about skinning only 8 hours /played ago.

Next, I headed to the swamp of sorrows to get some green whelp scales,
the next time I log in, I while have a nice +5 skinning enchant on a spare
set of gloves!

Grats! I only reached 315 myself last week; the Zulian Slicer dropped in ZG
and no-one else wanted it (was a double upgrade for me as it's also a
better sword than what I was previously using) and then I went to SoS for
whelp scales too, and have a pair of gloves with +5 sitting in the bank for
whenever I might need them :-)

To my surprise the yetis did not drop any cloth (despite being humanoids and
not wild animals) but I picked up a fair number in UBRS and spent some of
the money I have in my bank to buy thorium bars.

Yeah, yetis are a bit of a hybrid between humanoids and beats; they drop
money and the very occasional potion but otherwise their loot is very
lacking and they're not worth killing unless you're a skinner as they've a
very low droprate on anything except leather. I find them immensely boring
tbh, they don't even drop grey vendor trash very often, but they're the
best source of leather I've come across so I stick with them when I need
it.

All in all, I have the mats for about 50 rugged armour sets and about 30
thorium widgets. Still a long way to go but not all that bad for a first
grinding day :) I will need to talk to some friendly guild leatherworkers
and engineers about some mass production^^

Good going! :-) If you carry on that fast you'll get everything pretty
quickly; it took me a lot longer!
