Butchering

Main / Skills / Cooking / Butchering

Description

Butchering is the skill used to butcher corpses to get items like pelts, meat and other animal parts. Butchering skill is also used when fileting meat or fish.

Method

1. Activate a butchering knife
2. Right-click a corpse
3. Select Butcher
4. Open the corpse and drag the desired butchering products to your inventory. Or if you bury the butchered corpse, the items will stay on ground.

If it was not your kill, examine the corpse first to see if it has already been butchered.

Note: Butchering human corpses makes your alignment drop by 1 and does not give any butchering skill.

Fileting

Fileting cuts up meat or fish in 0.3 kg meat filet or fish filet portions. Fish or meat piece smaller than 0.3 kg will be discarded, so a 0.8 kg fish will give only two 0.3 kg fish filets.

1. Activate a butchering knife or carving knife
2. Right-click a piece of meat or fish
3. Select Filet
4. The filets will go in your inventory.

Resultant filet quality depends on your butchering skill, the quality of the meat or fish, the quality of the knife, and how well you can use your knife (butchering knife skill or carving knife skill). Fileting never fails as such, but you may get some 1 ql filets.
