A Salvage Cube must be obtained before salvaging can begin. The cube is acquired from [[Haedrig Eamon]], the Blacksmith, in thanks for your granting him a favor in an early game quest.

Once used for the first time, the salvage cube vanishes from the character's inventory and appears on the lower right of their [[inventory]] window, where it remains permanently; part of your character's interface.

==Materials==

Materials are produced by salvaging items. The materials generated are semi-random; identical items may return slightly varying amounts of material.

* [[Subtle Essence]]

* [[Wood Scraps]]

==User Interface/Mechanics==

# Since the materials returned are semi-random, players could repeatedly salvage the same item, trying for a better materials roll.

# Even if the materials were permanently set on that particular item, simply knowing what it was going to salvage for would let the player decide to salvage or try to trade it.
