Dialogue

Don't step in pig shit. / Hey there, city slicker. / Well, look who we got here. / You ain't lost, are ya?

Dialogue Who Are You Icon.png
The name's Butch 'Porkchop' O'Hara.
I'm the experienced pig farmer this side of Elan, and the only butchery you'll find in Goldenfield.
Folks 'round here don't understand the fine art of pig rearing. But me, I've was wearing a butcher's suit since I was knee high to a piglet.
Butchering ain't for the faint of heart. It's a dirty, bloody business. And the critters 'round here ain't your average farm animals.
They lead rough lives, and what you pull from 'em ain't always fit for use.
A skilled butcher, like myself, can tell at a glance which carcasses are worth the time.
The real pros can spot the ones that lived their lives in the best conditions. Their parts are the cream of the crop.
You could split carcasses into three groups: lower, middle, and prime. Each one needs a different set of skills and know-how.
Don't go hacking away as soon as you find a good one. There's more than just Ribs and skin to be had.
You got your Spine, Large Bones, Xiphoid Process, and Animal Fat. That's your bread and butter.
But the rare ones might have Gonads, Adrenaline Bladder, Living Blood, or Eye of the Beast.
Once, I even found an Elastic Membrane. Heard tell of a Beating Heart, but I ain't sure I believe it.
I've got a craft bench near my house that can refine some of that common stuff into something more useful, like Cosmetic Fat or Jeweler's Bone.
Around Goldenfield you can butcher a fair share of Wolves, Boars, and Turtles. Wolves mostly stick to the Westwind Woods.
As for Boars, you can find them in the woods too, but also out on the Sunweave Glade and Skylight Grasslands.
Turtles, they're everywhere if you know where to look. But don't expect to be trippin' over 'em. They ain't as common as pigs 'round a trough.
Dialogue How Are You Icon.png
How am I? Well, I'm covered in pig shit and smell like bacon grease. So I reckon I'm doing just dandy.
Can't complain. Pigs are fed, butcher's block is clean, and I've got a cold beer waiting for me at the end of the day.
I'm alive and kickin'. More than I can say for half of my pigs.
Dialogue What Is This Place Icon.png
Just a quiet cabin off the main streets. My little sanctuary in Goldenfield.
Dialogue Help Icon.png [If not accepted A Butcher's Lesson]
Well, now that you mention it...
Out here, survivin' ain't just livin'. It means knowin' your way around a butcher's blade too.
Wolves, Boars, and even Turtles, they've all got Animal Fat. In most cases.
Take down those animals, then butcher em to collect Animal Fat. Process this fat into Cosmetic Fat on the crafting bench - ain't nothing to it.
Wolves mostly stick to the Westwind Woods. As for Boars, you can find them in the woods too, but also out on the Sunweave Glade and Skylight Grasslands.
Turtles? They're just about everywhere if you got the eye for it. But not all carcasses are fit for butchering though - that's a skill you'll be learning on the go.
Dialogue I'll Do It Icon.png [​A Butcher's Lesson​]
Great! Remember, hunt for Wolves, Boars or Turtles and butcher them.
Gather Animal Fat and turn it into Cosmetic Fat at the crafting bench.
