Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Not sure where to post this, if this isn't right someone let me know.

So I've discovered (what I believe to be) a bug when it comes to skinning. Maybe it has been posted here before, maybe not, either way here it is:

If you've ever had skinning on a character, you'll likely get mobs that when you try to skin them, will not give you any loot and no longer have the option to skin them. I just attributed this to failing the skinning or something and overlooked it.

I finally started to look into what was causing this and I discovered that this phenomenon only occurred when you are at the max skinning range, i.e. the skinning mouse icon first comes up. After some extensive testing, attempting to skin at this max range distance will 100% of the time cause the mob to not give you the skinning rewards and will become unskinnable. This doesn't seem right to me, so that's why I'm posting this. In order to combat this, it's simple, just always make sure you are standing directly on top of a corpse while skinning it.

I talked to quite a few people in game and all of them have experienced this "bug" and never gave it much thought. I tried figuring out the bug report site but I have no clue how it works, so if someone wants to post this as a potential bug, go ahead.

Just wanted to share so that we can all get the loot we properly deserve

Please report this on the bugtracker. I don't see anything currently listed, so please submit this giving as much info about the issue as possible.

https://report.nostalrius.org/plugins/tracker/?aid=1739 This may possibly be the same issue, but the didn't put in the effort to test it out so no way to tell.

Yeah, for some reason I can't work the bugtracker correctly, that may have something to do with my university blocking the site and me having to do a work around just to get to the page.

The bug report sounds exactly like what I've been experiencing. Perhaps it's only certain mobs this works on though, so far I've tested in Tanaris and Blasted Lands and every possibly skinnable mob has this issue attached. I can do more testing if need be though.

I was assuming it's lag related, but I've never been able to reproduce it with any consistency.

This has happened to every type of skinnable mob since the server was released (including Devilsaurs, Core hounds, Onyxia etc.) Really annoying that you have to stand inside the mob to skin it safely.

I've submitted this for you on the bugtracker. https://report.nostalrius.org/plugins/t ... oup_id=101 It is just a copy/paste of your original post, if there is anything you'd like me to add to the bugtracker regarding this issue please PM me.

thanks very much for the post, was wondering what caused this, seemingly random event to happen, will enjoy the extra skins very much.
