That's a bit extreme; I turned in a bunch of tanned skins a few months ago and (unless its changed since) the XP wasn't that good. Maybe 3-4% per skin IIRC.

Now don't get me wrong, they're a great source of XP just like Blackburrow fangs, and you can only hold four of them, so being able to gate back is handy. But you also have to keep in mind the time it takes to zone back to Qeyons, the time to do the turn-ins, the time to port back to NK, the time to zone in to SK, and the time to run to Splitpaw itself. Oh, and the time to med the mana for the gate/port back.

All that time could have been spent killing things if you'd just hung around. Plus when you do get back, it's entirely possible that someone will have taken your camp.

So, is Splitpaw, and the spires around it, a great place to XP? Sure. If you hunt there should you go turn in your skins? Definitely; if you can easily port back then probably at least once a night (when you're done and don't mind losing your camp).

But are you "doing it wrong" if you just stay at Splitpaw (or elsewhere)? Hardly; staying there will earn you the same, or at least close to the same XP, and you won't risk losing your camp.
