Butchering (Rift Profession)
| ||||
| ||||
|
Leather can be used by Outfitters (cloth and leather armor) and Artificers (book and accessory making). Teeth and Bones are used by Apothecaries (Potions) and Artificers (totems and fetishes).
Major Points
- No Butchering tools are needed.
- All Gathering Profession skills can be learned as soon as you get out of the introductory zones.
- You can gain skill by skinning as high as 50 points above your butchering Level.
- In addition to Hides, Butchering will also occasionally yield Bones and/or Teeth.

Harvests

Butchering Leveling Guide
Some of the mob names in this list are generic, some are specific, but in general other Beast mobs in the same area will be the same Butchering level. Data was gathered from both the Defiant side and the Guardian zones. This list is certainly far from complete but is intended to help guide you through the fastest way to level Butchering. Remember, the fastest leveling occurs when your Skill is close to the minimum skill required (Orange difficulty). This will change to Yellow 10 points above the minimum, Green 10 points after that, and Gray (trivial; no skill increase) after another 10. Although Trivial is usually 50 levels above minimum, the range is smaller at lower levels, and larger at some others.
