How can a salvage kit be used with a collector? --Karlos 09:07, 4 Jul 2005 (EST)

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you're asking if you can salvage collector's items, the answer is no.


 * Well, you can salvage collector's armor. --Eightyfour-onesevenfive 22:26, 4 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * What Karlos was was referring to (months ago...) was the wording in the article. And he edited it first... but I'm going to save my edit over his since I don't think it's worthwhile to point out collector items in particular, since they fall under "weapons" and "armor."  --Fyren 22:45, 4 Oct 2005 (EST)


 * It's scary because I was being serious not sarcastic! :) --Karlos 23:02, 4 Oct 2005 (EST)

Salvaging Weapon Upgrades
We need to mention some where that unlike runes, if you salvage a weapon upgrade off a weapon there is a chance you might get nothing. i.e. If you have a sundering bow of fortitude and you try to salvage either upgrade, there is a chance you'll end up with materials. I do not think this is stated anywhere. I have failed to find it. So, I am checking here before I add it to this article. --Karlos 20:04, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Difference between "Expert Salvage Kit" and "Superior Salvage Kit"
I have never understood if there was a difference. Except maybe in the number of "charges"...

But is there any "functional difference" ? Can we salvage more with a superior than an expert kit ?


 * The only difference is the number of charges. --Rainith 13:02, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Newbie salvaging questions
As a new player, I've got a couple questions that might be common sense, but are probably still worth mentioning:
 * Do you get more gold (on average) selling or Basic Salvage/selling, or Expert Salvage/selling most items?
 * Do different "color" items yield different things? Am I better off salvaging a purple I don't need than selling it?
 * Do the item type dictate what you'll get when you salvage it? What items yield what materials?
 * If I use an Expert Kit on lower level stuff, is it a waste of the kit, or can I still find rare materials with the same frequency?
