====== Salvaging ======

Salvaging gear can be done by either using the [[workbench:salvaging_workbench|Salvaging Workbench]] or the [[item:scavengers_toolkit|Scavenger's Toolkit]] on gear. Whenever gear is salvaged, depending on the type of gear, it will turn into either [[item:scrap_metals|{{item:small:1185.webp|Scrap Metals}}]] [[item:scrap_metals|Scrap Metals]], [[item:scrap_linen|{{item:small:1194.webp|Scrap Linen}}]] [[item:scrap_linen|Scrap Linen]], [[item:wood_chips|{{item:small:1195.webp|Wood Chips}}]] [[item:wood_chips|Wood Chips]] or [[item:rare_metal_shavings|{{item:small:1198.webp|Rare Metal Shavings}}]] [[item:rare_metal_shavings|Rare Metal Shavings]]. There is also a 20% chance of giving [[item:old_artifacts|Old Artifacts]] which can be used at the [[store:artys_library_of_knowledge|Arty's Library of Knowledge]] and [[store:artys_special_items_section|Arty's Special Items Section]] for unique items and experience.

Scrap can be used as a currency at [[store:iron_ikes_scrap_shop|Iron Ike's Scrap Shop]], [[store:fancy_fionas_scrap_shop|Fancy Fiona's Scrap Shop]], [[store:woody_willows_scrap_shop|Woody Willow's Scrap Shop]] and [[store:tinkering_teds_scrap_shop|Tinkering Ted's Scrap Shop]] for unique gear and hard to get crafting supplies.

===== Mechanics =====

  * If the item is crafted using the [[skill:smithing|Smithing]] skill, it will give [[item:scrap_metals|Scrap Metals]]
  * If the item is crafted using the [[skill:tailoring|Tailoring]] skill, it will give [[item:scrap_linen|Scrap Linen]]
  * If the item is crafted using the [[skill:crafting|Crafting]] skill, it will give [[item:wood_chips|Wood Chips]]
  * If none of the above, and the item is either a trinket or a bracelet, it will give [[item:rare_metal_shavings|Rare Metal Shavings]]
  * If none of the above, it will give a random amount of [[item:scrap_metals|Scrap Metals]], [[item:scrap_linen|Scrap Linen]] and [[item:wood_chips|Wood Chips]]

The minimum and maximum amount of scrap is determined by the following formula: 
$$Amount_{min} = ItemLevel \times 5$$
$$Amount_{max} = ItemLevel \times 10$$

see [[workbench:salvaging_workbench|Salvaging Workbench]] for a comprehensive list of all salvageable items and the results.

===== Old Artifacts =====
There is a **20%** chance of receiving [[item:old_artifacts|Old Artifacts]] when salvaging any item. **The minimum amount is always 1** and the maximum is determined by the following formula:
$$Amount_{max} = \max\bigg(1,{\frac{ItemLevel}{5}}\bigg)$$

On average, the amount of artifacts is determined by the following formula:
$$Amount_{average} = \frac{\max\bigg(1,{\frac{ItemLevel}{5}}\bigg) + 1}{10}$$

See [[guide:artifacts|Buying Artifacts]] for the best way to turn coins into artifacts.
