Salvage item

The term salvage item refers to a class of items that drop from foes, the primary use of which is to salvage them into crafting materials and, for certain salvage items, runes and insignia.

Description
All salvage items:
 * Are labeled as "Salvage item" in the item's in-game description.
 * Can be salvaged into crafting materials.
 * Have a non-zero merchant value.

Salvage items can be further divided into two unofficial types: salvage armor and salvage remains. Armors have an armor rating in their description, no set price, and (once identified) allows for the extraction of runes or insignias. Remains have a fixed value and are stackable.
