Salvage

Related topics: Crafting, Tinkering, Salvaging

Salvage material is used to enhance the attributes and/or modifier % of armor, weapons, casting items and jewelry in various ways. There are three general types of salvage - imbuing salvage (e.g. Salvaged Jet), tinkering salvage (e.g. Salvaged Steel) and restriction-changing salvage (e.g. Salvaged Teak).

There are a number of methods of acquiring salvage available in Asheron's Call. The main method is by consuming non-quest loot generated items using an Ust, a utensil every new player receives upon each character creation (See Salvaging page for more details on how to salvage).

Note: items can can be tinkered up to 10 times but only be imbued once! (E.g. you cannot imbue Black Opal and Fire Opal on the same item.)
