Butchery: A skill that goes back 1000's of years.
Killed creatures drop meat. Certain meats can just be cooked for eating, like chicken and most fish, others need a Butcher. Certain Fish will hurt you if just eaten but a very skilled Butcher can remove the poison and give you a very high healing delicacy.
There are so many creatures available to create levels and a knife is the only tool you will ever need, a clay knife, even better!
The Butchered meats can be sold to cooks to make new and exciting foods or just sold as a new food source.
Salmon caviar to Steel Dragon tenderloin the possibilities are almost endless.
This skill could directly support fishing, hunting, slayer, cooking, and all combat skills.
Edit from later posts:
I envisioned training to be similar to fletching. We kill hundreds of creatures here in the lands of RS and an extremely small percentage drop any form of meat. I see this an an opportunity.
All of these creatures could drop some form of a carcass. These could then be butchered using a knife and sold to folks that would cook the then processed meat and turn it into food. An example would be when you kill a green dragon. The drop would include a dragon carcass.
You could sell this carcass as it is to someone working on their Butchery skill or butcher it yourself and sell the dragon steak to someone working on their cooking skill or cook the steak yourself and then use it for the food needed to kill another dragon.
There are hundreds of creatures to set up as different levels. You could add a butchery shop to your POH and add different tools for added xp. Different knives, saws, and cleavers would be available for higher lever Butchers. There could be meat markets where you could sell or buy meats to be cooked.
This would support all your combat skills where a creature is killed and definitely support the cooking skill without adding even more to an already very diverse skill.
