Butchering
From RoR Wiki
Learn the Butchering skill at the capital city of your realm. The "Butcher" NPC will teach you the specialization. Pair this with the trade skill Apothecary.
Leveling Butchering
- Leveling up your new gathering skill, Butchering, happens through the killing and looting of animal type NPCs in Return of Reckoning. When you kill the animal NPC, right click on the corpse or use your loot hotkey to first obtain whatever items and coin dropped from the mob, then right click or loot hotkey again to obtain a butchering material from the corpse.
- Once a material is successfully looted, the corpse will disappear.
- The level of material that drops is first checked by your skill level, then by NPC level. It's a simple calculation: if you want material of a specific level, divide the material level by 5. This represents the minimum level mob that will drop the material. You can kill mobs within the range of four levels above that. For example, if I want to obtain level 50 materials, I need to farm level 10-14 mobs. 50 divided by 5 equals 10, plus 4 is 14. Level 15 mobs will drop level 75 materials.
- You can only receive materials within the range of your skill level. For example, if you are killing level 20 mobs to get level 100 materials to drop, but your skill level in Butchering is 87, you will only receive level 75 materials and lower.
- Each animal corpse you loot will have a chance to level your Butchering skill by one point, as long as it is within or above your skill level. For example, say my Butchering is currently level 75, and I'm killing level 20-24 mobs (which drop level 100 materials). I'll have a very good chance to level my Butchering up through level 100. If I'm killing level 15-19 mobs (which drop level 75 materials), I'll have a normal chance to level my Butchering through 75 (I might see a slow-down somewhere around 90 because the chance to level is shrinking as I continue leveling up); and if I'm killing level 10-14 mobs (which drop level 50 materials), I'll have a very low, or zero, chance to increase my Butchering past 75.
- The maximum level for all gathering and trade skills is 200.
- Any class can Butcher, but if you're going to have one character with each gathering skill (Cultivating, Salvaging, and Scavenging), it's good to consider learning Butchering on a class that can farm groups of mobs easily. Butchering can be an effective gathering skill for classes with high sustain and reasonable aoe damage. Engineer, Slayer, Magus, and Marauder can all make good Butchers.
