OK - I have got loads of stuff to salvage with my VW (500 tailoring + sub skills) but I cannot seem to get anything to work?

I have delved the item, clicked 'Salvage' but nothing happens (I must say that I am in the bottom of the CM at the moment)....... do you have to be near a forge / lathe / tailoring master to do it now?

I am trying to salvage all sorts of different items but no joy :mad:

Anyone got any ideas please?

the item must be in your backpack to do it (if you mean that you are trying to salvage it from your cm, i may have misread)

edit: oh my salvage button dont work since last patch when I just delve an item. I have to do the whole shift+R for it to work, maybe try that ^^

I will try the keyboard shortcut thing tonight when I get home from work - it might just be the button that doesn't work (are you using Deridas UI as well?)

Oh - and it was probably me causing the confusion - CM as in Coruscating Mine

Thanks for the reply

It could be that your UI isnt up to date i always found the better way was to type /salvage when you have targetted the item in your backpack.

Also if your salvaging its normally recomended that you have at least 800 metalworking that will allow you to salvage most of the gear.

Corus mines weapons and items i think salvage to at least that level you can still salvage the higher tier stuff but you will loose the odd metal bar on salvage.

1.try to use the ingame shortcuts not the UI ones
2.as a general rule, you need skill/20 to safe salvage w/o material loss (1000 skill for lvl 51 items, 500 skill for lvl25 items). that doesnt stop you to try to salvage lvl51 stuff at 800 skill but some times you will lose materials - fe: getting 7 arcanite instead of 15 arcanite from a two-handed weapon.

also, for salvaging you need the secondaries capped: metalworking for items that salvage into metal bars, woodworking for items that salvage into wood boards (siege, keep walls/gates repairs are based on woodworking too), etc.

Thanks for all the input everyone - very useful and important information that I now know ! :)

I'll have to fill my vault and Merchant with stuff until I can get my Tailoring and sub-skills to the 800 ish level...



Thanks again guys :worthy:
