Salvaging

This is a quick overview of most salvaging questions. It covers various salvage kits, when to use which kit, and which kit might be ideal for a given situation. It does not cover every single use case or edge cases, but is appropriate for the vast majority of situations.

Gem Store Salvage Kits

Only buy a gem store kit for convenience or quality-of-life. They take an extremely long time to "pay off," or generate a return on investment.

What's the best salvage kit to buy from the Gem Store?

• Short answer: Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic is the least expensive (3  per use), so just get this and never worry about buying salvage kits again!
• Long answer: There isn't a universal best kit. Different kits have different uses. Choose the most appropriate kit for each situation.

What kit should I use for each situation?

• For BBasic and CFine items, use a Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic (3  per use).
• For DMasterwork items, use a Runecrafter's Salvage-o-Matic (20  per use).
• For ERare and FExotic items, use a Silver-Fed Salvage-o-Matic (60  per use).
• The previous kits will destroy upgrades, regardless of rarity. If you need to recover upgrades, use a Black Lion Salvage Kit.
• For GAscended items, use a Ascended Salvage Kit. Ascended kits always recover upgrades.

In-Game Salvage Kits Equivalents

• Copper-Fed Salvage-o-Matic is the same as Basic Salvage Kit.
• Runecrafter's Salvage-o-Matic does not have an in-game equivalent to its 100% chance to salvage upgrades.
• Silver-Fed Salvage-o-Matic is the same as Master's Salvage Kit or Mystic Salvage Kit.
• Black Lion Salvage Kit and Ascended Salvage Kit do not have gem store equivalents.
