You need to be carrying a Butcher Knife in order to butcher a corpse. Corpses of sentient creatures, such as goblins and humans, can't be butchered. To get started=== Training {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} ===* Butchering is learned the first time a monster is defeated, purchase and a '''Butcher Knifeis used on the corpse.* [[Fainor]], the owner of [[Serbule]]''' s Chortling Beaver Inn, sells Butcher Knives.* [[Toolcrafting|Toolcrafters]] are able to craft a variety of Butcher Knives.* [[Nishika]], a Rakshasa from the cook [[FainorRahu|City of Rahu]], can raise your Butchering Level Cap from 50 to 60, and from 60 to 70.* [[Noita the Green]] in Serbule Keepthe [[Fae Realm]] can raise the cap from 70 to 80.

== Connected Skills =======Sub-Skills:=====* None=====Secondary Skills:=====* [[Anatomy]] - Raising certain Anatomy Sub-Skills will improve the chance to receive extra meat while butchering, and increases the chance that an organ will be found.=====Related Skills:=====* [[Skinning]] - Another possibility available to those who stumble onto a corpse, Skinning will make it impossible to Butcher.* [[Phrenology]] - Skulls extracted using a [[Skull Extractor]] are used in the art of Phrenology.* [[Cooking]] - Butchering is the primary way that cooks obtain meat!* [[Toolcrafting]] - Toolcrafters are able to craft many types of knives usable for Butchering.== Recipe Lists =={{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Recipes}} == {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} 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 [[Stomach]]s, [[Heart]]s, and [[Spleen]]s can be looted while butchering a corpse. Bones, such as [[Femur]]s 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====(As of end of 2020, according to [https://forum.projectgorgon.com/showthread.php?2747-Butchering-result-of-animal-fats&p=19653&viewfull=1#post19653 Citan's forum post]): 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 Organ Knife|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. ===Butchering tools===
