Butcher 🥩

A page detailing the Butcher role within Medieval Discord and their butcher and tan commands.

Description:

Butchers are skilled artisans who are responsible for preparing and selling meat. The butcher's slaughterhouse is typically located in the marketplace and is equipped with various tools such as knives, cleavers, and saws. The butcher receives animals from the local farmers or hunters, and then slaughters and dresses them into various cuts of meat, making sure to also prepare any other materials that might come from them like wool, feathers, fur, etc. The meat is then sold to customers, who select the desired cut and have it weighed and priced by the butcher. Butchers are also responsible for preparing meat for special occasions such as weddings and festivals, and for making sausages and other preserved meats.

Relationship with the Market and other Users:

Butchers can make money with two commands. Tanning leather, they take on the role of tanners whose product is essential for Tailors and Cobblers. These should be your main customers since selling to them instead of the market is more cost-efficient for both of you.

Butchering animals for their meat and materials is the butcher's primary source of income. These can be sold to the market, but you should look to sell to characters since most people will have a need for the items you can acquire.

To get started, you will need to procure the bodies of animals. You should look to buy directly from Farmers and Hunters to maximize your profit. However, you can buy what you need directly from the market if you don't care about profit or if no characters are available to trade with.
