General

Salvaging is the crafting process of destroying loot generated items and obtaining portions of the raw materials in return. Each item has a workmanship, which defines the quality of that item. In conjunction with your salvaging skill, the higher the workmanship, the more salvage you will return per item salvaged. It is good practice to salvage items of similar workmanship together in separate bags. Once you fill up a bag of 100 units, that bag will have a workmanship of its own, which is an average of all the items that were salvaged to create it. In general, high workmanship salvage is highly sought after because of its value in Tinkering.

In order to salvage an item, you must first purchase an Ust at a vendor.

1. Double-click the ust to bring up the salvaging panel at the bottom of your screen.
2. Now, drag items from your pack into the salvaging panel.
3. When ready, click the Salvage button on the interface and all the items will be destroyed.
   • Warning: Pay attention to what you're salvaging, if you accidentally destroy something valuable you cannot recover it.
   • Note: Items that are marked as Retained cannot be salvaged, mana stoned, or sold.
   • Note: Items that do not have a workmanship, like gems sold by shopkeepers, cannot be salvaged.

• Tip: By default, salvaging solely uses your Salvaging Skill to calculate the amount of material returned. You can significantly increase the amount of material returned by training the Ciandra's Fortune augmentation. This augmentation can be trained 4 times, each time providing an additional 25% bonus to the amount of material returned.
• Tip: You can specialize your Salvaging Skill by training the Ciandra's Essence augmentation.
