Editing Salvaging (section)

== Salvaging an Item ==
In order to salvage an item, you must first purchase an [[Ust]] at a vendor. 
# Double-click the ust to bring up the salvaging panel.  
# Now, drag items from your pack into the salvaging panel.
# When ready, click the ''Salvage'' button on the interface and all the items will be destroyed.
#* '''<font color="red">Warning:</font>''' Pay attention to what you're salvaging, if you accidentally destroy something valuable you cannot recover it.
#* '''Note:''' Items that are marked as ''Retained'' cannot be salvaged, mana stoned, or sold.  Use [[Leather Salvage]] on items to make them retained so you don't accidentally blow them up.
#* '''Note:''' Items that do not have a workmanship, like gems sold by shopkeepers, cannot be salvaged.

You can can greatly increase the speed at which you salvage by dragging your main pack (or side packs) to the salvaging panel. If the ''Salvage Multiple Materials at Once'' option is enabled, all items capable of being salvaged will be added to the window. If this option is disabled, the first item or bag of salvage in the container will be added to the salvaging panel, along with all other items of the same material.

By default, salvaging uses either a tinkering skill or your salvaging skill that would yield the greatest amount of material. Tinkering skills can only yield at most the workmanship number in units of salvage. The salvaging skill can produce more units than workmanship.  You can also significantly increase the amount of material returned by training the [[Ciandra's Fortune]] augmentation.  This augmentation can be trained 4 times, each time providing an additional 25% bonus to the amount of material returned.
