Category:Salvage

Salvage is used in crafting, and can be obtained by defeating ferals, by completing certain missions, or by being rewarded by a player judge. It comes in five types (Mechanical, Electronic, Energy, Edible, and Chemical), each of which is available at levels 1-10 and at three different rarity levels (Common, Uncommon, Rare).

The level of the salvage depends on the level of the feral defeated, or the level of the mission instance.

The rarity of the salvage depends on the source:

• Defeated ferals yield common salvage
• Instance (mission) salvage rewards are uncommon. 100 common salvage can also be traded for 1 uncommon salvage of the same level and type through the 'convert' command.
• Rare salvage is currently only available as a player judge reward.

Salvage rates can be increased by training your crafting skills, effects from powers or distillations, and by your knowledge skills:

• Survival increases the rate of Edible salvage
• Installation increases the rate of Mechanical and Energy salvage
• Research increases the rate of Chemical salvage
• Computer increases the rate of Electronic salvage

Salvage can be traded between players, and is not limited to whole number amounts. It's quite possible to, for example, 'give 0.5 Level 2 Common Edible Salvage to <name>'.
