Returns how hard it is for the player to salvage an item of a given item level.<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
difficultyClass, chance = GetSalvagingDifficulty(itemLevel)<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Arguments ==<br />
;itemLevel : <code>number</code> – Item level (the <code>iLevel</code> field of an item data table).<br />
<br />
== Returns ==<br />
;difficultyClass : <code>number</code> – 0 to 4. 0 is the easiest, 4 means the item cannot be salvaged. The stock UI looks it up in <code>CraftingUtils.SalvagingDifficulty</code> and compares it with <code>GameData.Salvaging.IMPOSSIBLE</code>.<br />
;chance : <code>number</code> – A percentage, 0 to 100. The stock UI shows it next to the difficulty text.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
* The result is calculated from <code>itemLevel</code> and the player's base salvaging level (trade skill 6). Bonuses are not included.<br />
* The item level is capped at 45. With <code>skill</code> as the salvaging level:<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Condition !! difficultyClass !! chance<br />
|-<br />
| <code>skill</code> ≥ 200 || 0 || 100<br />
|-<br />
| <code>itemLevel × 5</code> ≥ <code>skill + 50</code> || 4 || 0<br />
|-<br />
| <code>skill</code> ≥ <code>(itemLevel + 3) × 5</code> || 0 || 100<br />
|-<br />
| otherwise, with <code>chance = skill + (17 − itemLevel) × 5</code> || 3 if <code>chance</code> < 60, 2 if 60–79, 1 if 80 or more || <code>chance</code><br />
|}<br />
: The rows are checked from top to bottom.<br />
* If there is no player object or the Lua state is not available, nothing is returned.<br />
* The function needs at least one argument and only reads the last one.<br />
<br />
== Errors ==<br />
None besides the generic ''Invalid Parameters'' message when the argument is missing or not a number.<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
From <code>default/ea_craftingwindow/source/salvagingwindow.lua</code>:<br />
<pre><br />
function SalvagingWindow.PlayerHasSufficientSkillToSalvageItem( itemData )<br />
local difficultyClass = GetSalvagingDifficulty( itemData.iLevel )<br />
return( difficultyClass ~= GameData.Salvaging.IMPOSSIBLE )<br />
end<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
<pre><br />
local difficultyClass, difficultyPercent = GetSalvagingDifficulty( itemData.iLevel )<br />
local difficultyString = CraftingUtils.SalvagingDifficulty[difficultyClass].string<br />
</pre><br />
