I think after some 4 years, you can let this go. Jagex is looking to add vibrant and intricate skills to the game to make things more exciting, adding a generic activity which everyone sees in real life and only a select few are unfortunate enough to get stuck with it as a job, would be counter productive. This would have been a skill to suggest while they were developing the game, and even then it is extremely trivial because Cooking fully covers this topic. This is like a half-skill.

Fletching was made it's own skill because archery tools had to be made SOMEHOW, and were a third of the combat system. Food already can be cooked and recipes can be played with, adding a separate section for meat would just be splitting hairs.

Doesn't matter how much (realistic) support this idea gets, if Jagex doesn't want to do it they won't do it.

Thank you, Shy Misery, for your contribution to my thread. For me Divination is everything but "vibrant and intricate" and adds nothing to the everyday play of the game other than giving rewards to make gaining xp in other skills easier.

Butchery would add new drops and require new tools and new locations and therefor play well into the everyday training of numerous other skills while training those skills. Can that be said with any of our recent skill additions to the game?

With about half the posting folks supporting the ideas here I'm going to continue to keep the thread running.

I am a long time supporter of this skill - and am very happy to see that the thread is still up and running after all of these years! Definitely suggest this in the Runelabs thing - I know that Jagex doesn't like making new skills (I mean Inventor was due in 2013 after all...) but maybe, just maybe Butchery can make it to the polls and get the attention it deserves!

Bump!
You peer into a Chapel of Zamorak, which appears to be abandoned. Before you can close the doors again, a Revenant Chaos-Bringer flies at you and slays you instantly with a bolt of Shadow Lightning. Oh dear! You are dead!

Seems like a good idea to me, but honestly.. There's not much room for new skills. And this is sort of a copycat skill, or a half skill as others have mentioned. It truly is a great idea, for 2009 RuneScape. The game needs to keep up with others of the same family and adding another skill that's like others that already exist just isn't practical.
