This page goes into detail on the Harvesting specialization of Dragonflight Skinning, and will guide you through multiple talent builds capable of covering the various aspects of the tree and profession.
Best Harvesting Talent Build in Dragonflight
The Harvesting tree has some of the best nodes in Skinning, and the initial node immediately increases your damage against Dragons and Beasts in the outdoor zones, allowing you to level and skin faster. You can improve this bonus with further investment into the node.
The other nodes are also strong, especially Trophy Collector, which allows you to gather more species-specific skins such as Rockfang Leather, which are otherwise hard to find and likely to be in high demand from Leatherworking and also Inscription!
