API:GetSalvagingDifficulty

UI Lua API · Crafting functions
Version: WAR 1.4.8

Returns how hard it is for the player to salvage an item of a given item level.

difficultyClass, chance = GetSalvagingDifficulty(itemLevel)

Arguments

itemLevel: number – Item level (the iLevel field of an item data table).

Returns

difficultyClass: number – 0 to 4. 0 is the easiest, 4 means the item cannot be salvaged. The stock UI looks it up in CraftingUtils.SalvagingDifficulty and compares it with GameData.Salvaging.IMPOSSIBLE.
chance: number – A percentage, 0 to 100. The stock UI shows it next to the difficulty text.

Details

The result is calculated from itemLevel and the player's base salvaging level (trade skill 6). Bonuses are not included.
The item level is capped at 45. With skill as the salvaging level:

Condition	difficultyClass	chance
`skill` ≥ 200	0	100
`itemLevel × 5` ≥ `skill + 50`	4	0
`skill` ≥ `(itemLevel + 3) × 5`	0	100
otherwise, with `chance = skill + (17 − itemLevel) × 5`	3 if `chance` < 60, 2 if 60–79, 1 if 80 or more	`chance`

The rows are checked from top to bottom.

If there is no player object or the Lua state is not available, nothing is returned.
The function needs at least one argument and only reads the last one.

Errors

None besides the generic Invalid Parameters message when the argument is missing or not a number.

Example

From default/ea_craftingwindow/source/salvagingwindow.lua:

function SalvagingWindow.PlayerHasSufficientSkillToSalvageItem( itemData )
    local difficultyClass = GetSalvagingDifficulty( itemData.iLevel )
    return( difficultyClass ~= GameData.Salvaging.IMPOSSIBLE )
end

local difficultyClass, difficultyPercent = GetSalvagingDifficulty( itemData.iLevel )
local difficultyString = CraftingUtils.SalvagingDifficulty[difficultyClass].string

Return of Reckoning
