Salvage needs adjusting

Batch seems to give 1-50 now, although it really depends on the items used

 

The difference shows up more when salvaging player-crafted items. If you only ever intend to salvage looted items you won't see much ROI.

 

Also note that critical salvages do net you additional stuff.
Triangle Shields give iron ingots
Rusty Swords give copper ingots
Rusty hammers etc. give both metal and wood scraps when you hit a critical. (The wood scraps only occur on critical)

 

I am curious, is the ammount of items you get salvaged also based on durability of the items? (Thinking about the durability nerf of dropped items)

 

Yes. You can easily test this by doing batches of differing durability.

 

Ok thanks, so the durability nerf also nerfed the ammount of salvaged items... I hope this gets adjusted

 

My husband has blacksmith salvage at grandmaster and I've never seen him get anything but scraps from looted items. And we farm thousands upon thousands of scraps.
I've never seen rusty swords or triangle shields etc. give anything but metal scrap - are they meant to?
The only exceptions are the weapons looted from CP chests which have a material type in the name (Ie Copper Longsword) - these do tend to give back blades, hilts, etc. on occasion - or crafted goods.
