Salvage

Following the release of Module 1: Fury of the Feywild on August 22, 2013 it became possible to "salvage" many level 60+ items that have the type "Salvageable" in their tooltip. As of Module 6: Elemental Evil some level 70 items also have the type "Salvageable" in their tooltip. This destroys the item and grants a quantity of in return.

It is important to note that the results will still need to be refined into and the 36,000 daily refining limit still applies: If you salvage a great deal of gear it could be some time before it is converted to usable currency, particularly if you are earning  from other sources like daily questing.

Introduction
The Salvage process is introduced to the player during the quest Salvage Operation, which leads to Hieronymous Glim, the Salvage Trader. Salvage can be performed in the area directly behind him and similar locations elsewhere in the game.

Process

 * 1) Locate a Salvage Trader.
 * 2) Right click on the salvageable item.
 * 3) Click on the option "Salvage" on the item menu: If it does not appear the item may not be salvageable or you may need to adjust your position relative to the trader.
 * 4) A prompt will appear indicating the item to be salvaged and how much  it will provide.
 * 5) Press OK to perform the action.

Pre Module 10 Rewards
Prior to Module 10: Storm King's Thunder the Salvage Values were as follows, (this is for the use of Xbox and PS4 players until such a time as they receive the Module 10 patch).


 * Small = Neck, Waist, Ring, Shirt, Pants
 * Medium = Arms, Feet, Head, Offhand
 * Large = Body, Mainhand

Post Module 10 Rewards
As of Module 10: Storm King's Thunder All items of item level 390+ have their salvage value determined by rarity (//) and size (Small/Medium/Large) only.


 * Small = Neck, Waist, Ring, Shirt, Pants
 * Medium = Arms, Feet, Head, Offhand
 * Large = Body, Mainhand

Since Guild Armor and Guild PVP Accessory are lower than item level 390 it has a different salvage value.

Since Battlefield Armor is lower than item level 390 it has a different salvage value ?.

Notes:
 * Black Ice gear from Curse of Icewind Dale yields when salvaged, instead of.
 * Salvaging a Golden Dragon artifact weapon yields a single, instead of.
