			== Getting rich with Salvaging ==

			Once you approach and hit level 200, you'll be able to Salvage almost all gear within the game.

	~~== Leveling~~ Salvaging ==		One efficient way to make money with Salvaging is to break down high-level gear, which will grant powerful fragments, and turn these into Talismans to sell to other players. (You'll need the [[Talisman Making]] Crafting profession to create Talismans.)

	* The level of item you salvage determines the crafting material that will be generated from the item, with a check on your Salvaging skill. To figure out what material you'll receive, simply multiply the item level of the item you're salvaging by 5, ~~round down to the nearest multiple of 25, and note that the~~ rarity of the item will generate the fragment delivered. For example, if I have a level 22 uncommon (green) item to salvage, it will return a level 100 uncommon fragment, as long as my Salvaging is at least 100 (22 times 5 equals 110, rounded down to the nearest multiple of 25 is 100). Note that this operates off of the <b>item level</b> of the gear, ~~not the <b>minimum level requirement</b>.~~		In particular, high-rarity gear from Dungeons, like [[Gunbad]], City dungeons, [[Bastion Stair]], etc, can be broken down for strong fragments. Though not commonly done after the currency unification, you can also spend your [[War Crests]] to purchase gear to break down, if you don't need them.
	* Any class can Salvage, but if you're going to have one character with each gathering skill ([[~~Butchering~~]], ~~[[Cultivating]]~~, [[~~Scavenging~~]]), ~~it's good to consider learning Salvaging on a class that you play often~~, ~~potentially your main character~~. ~~The reason for this is because~~ the ~~items that~~ you ~~obtain from epic quests, RvR influence rewards, etc. cannot be traded, but they~~ can ~~be salvaged. By leveling~~ your ~~salvaging and obtaining relatively easy purple fragments from breaking~~ down ~~RvR reward gear on your first~~, ~~or main, character in the game, it can jumpstart~~ you ~~in successful talisman making~~.
