Butchering Overview
Butchering is a skill that allows Adventurers to harvest extra meat and organs from creatures. This option is only available when looting a corpse if a Butcher Knife, or similar tool, is in a character's inventory. If a corpse is butchered, it can not be skinned, or have it's skull extracted. Butchering can also be leveled by extracting skulls, using a Skull Extractor.

Butchering Mechanics
Leveling Butchering
Failing an attempt to butcher a corpse will grant 1 XP. Successfully butchering a corpse will grant much more experience! If you loot both meat and a bone or organ, you will receive 3x the normal experience.
Collecting Organs, Bones, and Fat
Organs such as Stomachs, Hearts, and Spleens can be looted while butchering a corpse. Bones, such as Femurs can also be obtained. The chances to loot an Organ or Bone improves based on the Anatomy skill of the corpse you are looting.
If you are looting a Sickly Tiger, the bonuses would come from Feline Anatomy. Level 6 Feline Anatomy grants Butchering yields extra bones: +2%, and Level 9 Feline Anatomy grants Butchery yields rare meat or organs: +3%.
Fat drops are based on the monster's level and their anatomy type. Herbivorous animals (such as Ungulates) have the best of all of the resources: skins, meat, organs. Carnivores have the worst. And omnivores are somewhere in between.
Probability of Organ
Provided you don't botch the butchering attempt altogether, you get a 3% chance of an organ for every 9 levels (rounded down) of the relevant Anatomy skill, plus any item bonus. If you receive an organ, it is selected at random from the possible organ drops for that mob.
Example: If you have a level 45-53 anatomy skill and Amutasa's +7% organ knife, you would have a 5*3+7 = 22% chance for an organ. Say you are butchering a barghest. Barghests have five different organs (stomach, brain, heart, spleen, tier-4 animal fat) so if you get an organ from one, you have a 1-in-5, or 20%, chance of getting a fat. That amounts to a 22%/5 = 4.4% chance to get fat from a Barghest.
