You can get gloves made that give +5 Skinning, as well as an enchantment to give +5 Skinning. End result is 310 skinning, and the ability to skin more that half the dragons in UBRS that normally sit there.

I'm not going to mention anything about skinning.
UBRS has humanoid and dragon mobs, mostly 58-61 elites, although there are some none elite mobs (the eggs in the rookery spawn non elites when broken). This is a fairly easy instance, with 15 people but you do have to take your time and be a bit careful. It normally takes me about 2 to 3 hours to complete. I would recomend people being level 58 or above before going to this instance, but I have taken a maximum of one level 57 per run. My favourite group setup includes: 2 priests 1 druid 1 warlock 2 mages 2 warriors 2 paladins 2 hunters 2 rogues 1 keyholder What I've found, is between sheeping, sapping, sleep, and freezing traps...with this group setup you can almost always figure out a way to not fight an entire group or mob at once. Plus, you havn't more than 3 of any class (counting the keyholder) and when it comes to class set items, this makes people happier. I've not done the UBRS key quest myself...but this should be helpful: http://thottbot.com/?q=1344 Aeralynaia 60 huntress Feathermoon

To get the worg pups you have to go pretty far into LBRS after Urok Doomhowl and after a bunch of scorpions and you fight 2 big ass wolves, the worg pups are with the 1st wolf and then the 2nd wolf comes in after you drop the first 1. Very simple

UBRS Key is called "Seal of Acention"
you need the unadorned Seal of Acention and it's a random drop in LBRS. Then you need to talk to a guy in LBRS to get the quest that allows you to form the key. The 3 gems are dropped off Warmaster Voone, Lord Omokk, and Overlord Wyrmthuk. Then there more stuff in Dustwallow Marsh to complete the key (for alliance anyway). Secondly all quests in UBRS can be done in a raid, but the LBRS ones are 5 man only. UBRS is possable 5 man, but it's really damn hard. Level for BRS is 54 min (I think) but your doomed to fail unless your level 56+ really. Even then 57+ is far better. You do need 310 skinning to Skin the Beast and now you get get a sword from ZG or Finkles Skinner (Dagger that The Beast drops). Hope that clarifies up most things.

Sadly a lot of the original higher level instances are not really that relevant anymore for the level they were designed for. Outland, with much better gear and experience beckons once you hit your mid 50's.
However, LBRS does make a nice solo dungeon for lvl 70s. I did it with my 70 fury warrior (purple weapons, some purple armor but mostly blues). It was generally easier using a shield, but more exciting dual-wielding (a true race of kill or be killed :) ) What I found nice was I couldn't just zerg through - you really need to plan your pulls a little before rushing in. Hamstring is your best friend because runners, no matter how elite you think you are, will eventually get you killed. Healers and casters still need to die first. They hit surprisingly hard - 700+ dmg and some really nasty debuffs and curses. The take, counting items sold on AH and less repairs, was a bit over 100 gold. And it was fun! So if you are sick of daily quests, take a break and hit one of the higher level classic old instances. Might make a nice rewarding vacation from BC content.

This instance is located right off of searing gorge. Just go west and when u see a bridge going up then go on the bridge (Blackrock Depths is loacted by the first chain to your west and follow the chain and go in the cave and go down and this should be there.) (Lower blackrock spire is located by the first 1 but instead of going down the chain go up and when ur on the wall jump onto the ledge and turn and you should see it.)
ha ha this is the instance leeroy was in
I started out doing BRD solo at level 70 for fun and to measure how my character power improved when i had obtained new gear.
It occured to me that there was a significant amount of money to be earned doing instances solo, but BRD spawns little Bind on equip gear and not much plans and designs that can be sold on the auction house, so i started out in the lower Blackrock spire.. My character is an epic specced combat Rogue wich uses battleground gear. I use deadly poison and cripling poison on my swords for the extra damage and to avoid mobs from running off. I can handle groups up to 5 or 6 mobs but when one runs off and gets another group then it would be too much and i have to use vamish. Usually i can solo the complete instance without having to do so. On a complete run through the instance i gather around 20 gold in silverpieces from the trash mobs, sell for about 30 gold on blue soulbound and useless items to the vendor, and -more importantly- about 100 gold on sells on the auction house. My best run was about 500 Gold when some good plans or designs dropped. I'd say i get around 150 - 250 gold for each run and this takes about one hour. The only mobs that i have difficulty with and have to use all my powers to kill are War Master Voone and Overlord Wyrmthalak (end boss) Voone hits VERY hard and if you cant down him quick enough your dead meat, to date i had to use vamish on him once when i forgot to wait on some colldowns... Overlord Wyrmthalak is about the same, hits less hard then Voone but he spawns two trash mobs. Sometimes i miss the company of others when soloing LBRS but as someone said in a post above its more difficult to do this with others then it is to do alone. They aggro wandering mobs and because the lower level will draw any mob to them -thus dying- Such a shame UBRS cant be solo'd because of the three people needed to summon a firemob wich opens up a door on his death. Though i doubt my character is powerfull emough to solo the UBRS instance... But doing LBRS solo is both fun as it is profitable...
We hit UBRS last night with 3 Paladins and 1 Mage and creamed the entire 10 man raid in a little under 28 minutes. It dropped, a ton of trash greens, 9 boe blues, tons of grey crap and a ton of cash. It was fun and exciting, and we downed every boss. We even were sloppy and pulled a Leeroy.
Stealthwise.. this place is pretty damn ridiculous. Three out of three times I tryed to Vanish I was unstealthed, each time pissed me off more then the last >.< So just a forwarning.. I dont even think Vanish works here, could just be unlucky though.
