Salvaging is breaking down equipment into materials via the Blacksmith. All magic, rare, set, and legendary items can be salvaged, but not superior, normal, or inferior items. Every item is associated with one of the four difficulty levels, based on its item level, and yields materials based on that and its rarity.
Materials
- Main article: Material
There are 9 materials available from salvaging. Each difficulty has its own pair of magic- and rare-quality materials, and Inferno alone has a legendary-quality material, Fiery Brimstone. Materials cannot be converted or upgraded.
Interface
The salvaging interface is very easy to use. Characters need merely speak with the Blacksmith, select the Salvaging tab, then click the salvage icon. This transforms the cursor into a special salvaging pointer, with which any eligible item clicked is instantly salvaged (rare, set, and legendary items ask for confirmation before salvaging).
Players can salvage multiple items in rapid succession by clicking quickly, and this system is identical to the item sale mechanism in the game.
Salvaged items cannot be recovered; unlike the buyback option for sold items, once an item is salvaged, it is gone forever. The tooltip warning to the right is from the Nephalem Cube, but it's identical in function and severity when the Blacksmith is doing the salvaging.
If a socketed item with a gem is salvaged, the gem will be returned to the inventory once the item is destroyed. This is often much cheaper than unsocketing a gem from an item, and the player also gets a small material return for crafting.
