One of the Magical Craftables, the Butcher's War Cleaver is an enhanced version of the War Cleaver.
They can be: crafted Exceptionally; enhanced by using Runic Tools; have their Durability increased via Powder of Fortifying to a maximum of 255; be dyed with Pigments of Tokuno; and receive an Arms Lore bonus.
Magical Craftables were introduced with the Mondain's Legacy expansion. They require special Resources and Recipes in addition to the usual components required to craft the base item. However, they always come with at least one extra Item Property, which stacks with any other bonuses the item might receive at the time of creation. In this case, the bonus is:
- Bovine Slayer
- Hide Processing
Like the Bovine Slayer Talisman, it inflicts double damage on Bulls, Cows, and Gamans. Unlike the Bovine Slayer Talisman, it is not effective against Minotaurs.
The primary reason to carry the war cleaver is that when it is used on a leather-bearing corpse, it skins the hides, converts them into leather, and automatically places them directly into your backpack, thus skipping the steps of opening the corpse, moving the hides, and using scissors. A character must be standing close to, or on, the corpse, or the leather will remain on the corpse.
The Butcher's War Cleaver will continue to auto-loot leather until approximately 100 stones are left in the character's carrying capacity. While not wanting to sound like a RONCO product, it also shears sheep!
These functions are similar to the Skinning Knife, a somewhat lighter and easier item to obtain. However, unlike the smaller knife, the cleaver does not need to be equipped in order to process hides in this manner.
