Salvaging currently b0rked?

[esker]

I've found a few green drops that are purely for salvaging, and they salvage fine. But most stuff just says "Blah cannot be salvaged", and the one item I have that actually comes up with an option of what sort of stuff to salvage from it just gives that same error message once I pick an option.

Anyone else having issues with it?

[Murashu]

I salvaged 3 green items and got 1 fragment from them. When I tried to use that fragment it wouldn't combine with anything I had for talisman making.

[bizznach]

i have done pretty descent so far with salvaging.
im not sure if reknown greens are salvageable, so many greens i dunno where they come from.
there are green drops that are just ment to be salvaged,nothing else u can do with them.
btw i think that salvaging will be much easier come live release seeing as i have found soooo many uncommon seeds from mobs for cultivation,and only gear for salvaging.
talismans are like a 8 hour item buff that takes multiple items to make just like apocathary.

[Derail]

Some RR gear items are Salvagable. It's kind of hit or miss atm.

Also concerning actually using your fragments I was unable to get any other magical essence to drop into the Tali creation slot other than the rare type.

50 vendor bought lvl 1's = 5 greens

5 greens = 1 rare

the rare makes it work...

I'm sure this isn't right but I do what I have to ;)

[Red Asphalt]

It seems to me like all renown items (with stats, not the statless really low level ones) can be salvaged

- BUT -

It seems like you can't salvage belts or accessories, renown or not. I suspect this may be a bug because on the ones with stats that you would otherwise be able to salvage, it doesn't say "this cannot be salvaged", it just acts as if you hadn't even clicked it.

Expensive, but a readily-available source of whatever fragments you like once you get a few ranks.

does anyone have a chart showing what level range items can be salvaged when?

i rarely get a skill up, i did a lower level PQ by myself in hopes to level my salvaging but the time to skillup ratio isnt that good.

i'm level 13 and have some level 13+ items, and my salvaging is at ~22... at what point can i salvage level 13+ items? its really frustrating. i ahve so many greens and a few blues waiting to be salvaged, they're in my bank..

i wish i knew the requirements for item levels so i wouldnt have to go back and forth to my bank (not that i have, yet) to see if it works.. and solo farming PQs really isnt that amazingly great. i am also currently level 14.

ok, so i spoke too soon. i just went to my bank and at salvaging 22, you can salvage items level 13. i didn't skill up one about 3 items that i salvaged, and i can not salvag anything higher than that. this includes SUNDERED EQUIPMENT. i have yet to know what level of salvaging that requires.

if anyone can reply to me, and update, or anything that they may know, please... do it! this is one hell of a profession!

You have to use the salvaging icon in your abilities tab.

[Vejuz]

Is anyone else having problems combining Magic Essences?

[GraniteOwl]

I looked all through Da War Maker camp, and although I found the Talisman trainer.. I never found the salvaging trainer... Who is he and where is he? I found a trainer for every other skill.

You can see the trainers in the map.

I used the salvaging icon and right clicked the hammer icon on the item and nothing happens...do I need a certain material when I go to salvage something..

[WhiteZombie]

what ive found:

most green/blue weapons and armor can be salvaged. capes and belts cant be salvaged at all, for some reason. i was getting the 'your level is too low to salvage this' message for 'sundered' scrap, as well as certain greens and blues over 13 until i got salvaging of 30.

to get the essences you need to combine the echoes. the echoes will tell you how many you need. you'll need 10 of the green ones, which will turn into 1 blue. 5 blues will snag you a violet essence which you need for talismans, 1 violet essence per talisman. the echoes and essences and stuff are tiered by craft level (silent echoes, dormant echoes, etc), higher level essences, better talismans. the echoes, unlike the armor and weapons you break, will tell you what craft level you need to combine them. NOTE: make sure you're not at a trader when you try to combine the materials, or you'll sell them ;)

any item you break that asks you which stat you want to refine, there's a chance you'll get a fragment (used in talisman making) and/or some essence materials (green and/or blue, random number). items that don't ask you will only get you essence materials.

[Agenanmer]

Salvaging can be a nuisance to level if you are not actively grinding or trading for salvageable items.

Hope the Auction house works in game.

I htink that items that only have 1 stat won't ask it but you have a chance to get fragments.

This is not completly true, although it does seems that for example belts tend to not be salvaged I have salvaged a few of them, same with capes (and accessorys if I'm not mistaken)
So for the issue on what can be salvaged and what can not... I have no idea.
Came here for just this since I have in my bags mostly belts but also for example an axe and such that wont allow me to salvage it, doesn't give any indication to why since I do have the level for it and the items are in the right level.
This might be a bug or for example just missing a line of code in them? Like allowSalvaging = true; ;)
Well, sent in some reports on that so lets see if some info comes out of it.

As for another topic about what salvaging skill it takes to salvage an item, bare in mind that I have just begun to try this out after Open Beta was released now in Europe but it seems to be that it goes like 21+ = salvage lvl 13 items, 31+ = salvage lvl 15 items and such, lets see if this keeps up for higher lvls

well, the fluff for salvaging says metal and wood items, so maybe that has something to do with what can and cant be salvaged. so far, belts and helms and capes are consistent no-nos for me. some accessories, like rings and stuff, can be salvaged though. some armor, like witch elf armor and sorc armor, sometimes cant be salvaged.

its strange how the tiers work for salvaging, but ive found i havent been able to salvage some items before 30 or 50. maybe i salvaged enough to skip the 20+ one :P 50 is the highest requirement ive seen. i doubt itll go any higher in OB since you wont be getting 20+ eq because t3 is blocked, unless you're on a populated enough server to farm rep for higher rr items.

[Becela]

auction houses are working, just not very many people using them... Only like 10 items in Tyrion/order available. One problem is location. I could only find Auctioneers (and bankers) in Altdorf itself. Would be nice to access in Warcamps.

Salvaging is now up to 40-something, and Talisman is only at 12. I tried to keep up with it as I leveled and thought I was doing good until most of the gear became unsalvageable in T2. Sucks, but isn't my problem. My problem is that commonly the gear I do salvage makes fragments that requires level 25 or higher. So basically I have to do ch 4 PQs over and over to get a couple greens (last nite got 1), to breakdown and hopefully get level 1 fragments and not an essence\dust. So unless buying greens or fragmets off AH, if there are any, or spending hours doing low level pqs, I see no way of breaking free from this grind.

[Anowsys]

I am also having an issue salvaging items. I can salvage the easily and very easily salvaged damaged/sundered items, but any higher and it says my skill is too low, which very well may be.

The main issue I have, is that any items I find that are green or blue (so far) aren't able to be salvaged. My other character on another server isn't able to salvage the item she just found either.

The items I'm trying to salvage are indeed belts and jewelry. I'll test other items as I get them now that the servers are back up. Perhaps it is just these types of items that are currently not working.

*shrug*

[Thalyon]

You have to use the salvaging icon in your abilities tab.

or move the skill to a quickbar and use it from there.


For those having trouble combining essences and salvaging some items that *should* be salvagable but aren't doing it for some reason - try using /reloadui (or log out and back in). This corrects the problem for me and also fixes problems with bag opening.

I don't think you are allowed to salvage items that you can buy. That includes renown items.

[Tierce]

seems to be working fine for me, just some slots are not able to be salvaged. So far I have found this to be Accessories, Belts, and Shoulders. Everything else I have salvaged just fine.

[Ashkael]

I managed to salvage my green shoulders just fine, even though it failed to give me a fragment. I don't think belts can be salvaged though, as I don't even get an error message when trying to salvage them.

Also, do you need to get a fragment in order to get a skill point?

[Tousen]

Some green items are worn and need to be repaired before you can salvage it. Happened to me the other day with a worn weapon that I could salvage and choose which types of mats I wanted to get.

[Lykurgos]

I'd really appreciate if anyone can help with this -

I have taken up magical salvaging and have an assortment of items, all of which are green, that I have attempted to salvage by left clicking on the salvage skill to obtain the little hammer icon then right clicking on the item to be salvaged.

Once I get chance to log into my account tonight I will post wardb links to the items I am trying to salvage for greater clarity, but someone may be able to answer now. I have 2 different "sundered equipment/scap" type items which are not repairables - just items which indicate that they can be salvaged. I also have 2 green equipable items that have 2 stat bonuses each. One of these is a sword.

What happens when I right click on the items to be salvaged is precisely nothing. I do not get a message that I do not have sufficient skill. Since I have occassionally experienced a bug whereby right clicks where not activating right click functions, I have relogged and verified that right click was working normally before attempting to salvage, but still nothing.

I am wondering whether I should keep the items I cannot salvage and purchase magical essence to refine in order to increase my salvaging skill, but am a bit lost.

[FalseMyrmidon]

Left click items when you have the salvaging hammer pointer to salvage.

[McLoven]

Tool tip is crap for Magical Salvaging. It ways left click the skill then right click the item. Well that fails. I can do it bu right clicking the skill and right clicking the item.
*BUT* only some items can be salvaged and most of the time it FAILS.
When i was a scavenger I was getting tons of ruin drops that could be salvaged and now that I can salvage item I am dependant on scavengers to get me the items I need.
Every mob in this game drops the darn seeds but once in a blue moon do they give up the ruined itmes.

Magical Salvaging = Epic Fail

[Stantz]

the biggest problem is that the auctioneers are hidden in the tavern and no one knows where the they are.
