	== Scavenging ~~Notes~~ ==		== Leveling up Scavenging ==

	*The level ~~material~~ you ~~get is determined first by~~ your ~~own~~ skill level~~, and then by the NPC level. (You can Scavenge high-level corpses even at level 1, but you'll need to gain more levels before you start getting high-level drops from those mobs~~.)		You have a chance to level up Scavenging each time you Scavenge a mob that can drop materials either at or above your current skill level.

	*If you want material of a specific level, ~~divide~~ the ~~material~~ level ~~by 5~~. ~~This represents~~ the ~~minimum level mob that will drop~~ the ~~material. You can kill mobs within~~ the ~~range~~ of ~~four levels above that. For example~~, ~~if I want to obtain level 50 materials~~, ~~I need to farm level 10-14 mobs. 50 divided by 5 equals 10, plus 4 is 14. Level 15 mobs will drop level 75 materials~~.		By mass scavenging high level mobs, you can very quickly reach the max at level 200. Scavenging, like [[Butchering]], is one of the easiest gathering skills to max.
	* ~~Each humanoid corpse you loot will~~ have a chance to level ~~your~~ Scavenging ~~skill by one point~~, ~~as long as it is within or above your skill~~ level. ~~For example~~, ~~say my Scavenging is currently level 75~~, and ~~I'm killing~~ level ~~20-24 mobs~~ (~~which drop~~ level ~~100 materials). I'll have a very good chance to~~ level my Scavenging ~~up through~~ level ~~100~~. ~~If I'm killing~~ level ~~15-19 mobs (which drop~~ level ~~75 materials)~~, ~~I'll have~~ a ~~normal chance~~ to ~~level my Scavenging through 75 (I might see a slow-down somewhere around 90 because~~ the ~~chance to~~ level ~~is shrinking as I continue leveling up); and if I'm killing~~ level 10-14 ~~mobs (which drop~~ level ~~50 materials), I'll have a very low, or zero, chance to increase my Scavenging past~~ 75.
	* Only Champion NPCs and above will drop purple fragments. Normal NPCs will drop Common (white), ~~Uncommon (green)~~, and ~~Rare (blue) fragments~~.		== Fragment Rarity ==
	* ~~The maximum level for~~ all ~~gathering~~ and ~~trade~~ skills is 200.
	* Any class can Scavenge, but if you'~~re going to have one character with each gathering skill ([[Butchering]], [[Cultivating]], [[Salvaging]]),~~ it~~'s good to consider learning Scavenging~~ on ~~a class~~ that can farm Champions ~~easily. Scavenging can be an effective gathering skill~~ for classes ~~with reasonable single target damage and high sustain or kite potential.~~ [[High Elf, Shadow Warrior\|Shadow Warrior]], [[Warrior Priest]], [[Dark Elf, Disciple of Khaine\|Disciple of Khaine]], [[Marauder]], and [[Squig Herder]] all make good Scavengers.		The rarity of the Talisman Fragments you collect from Scavenging is based on the type of NPC you Scavenge:

			*Normal NPCs can drop White, Green, or Blue rarity fragments.
			*Champion NPCs and above have a chance to drop a Purple rarity fragment.

			The rarity color of the fragment will generally be the same as the rarity of the Talisman you can make with it, with Purple Rarity Talismans being the strongest and most sought after.

			== Scavenging Tips ==

			*Even at level 1 Scavenging, you can Scavenge any humanoid mob, no matter their level. However, you can only gain fragments, dust, and curios within your level range. (To get high level ingredients, level up your Scavenging skill and then Scavenge high-level mobs.)

			*The level of the mob determines the level of items you can Scavenge, and every 5 levels a mob increases = +25 to the power of the items you'll find.
			**Example: For level 50 Materials, farm mobs level 10-14. For level 75 Materials, farm mobs level 15-19, and so on.

			*As with all Gathering and Crafting skills, '''you'll gain more inventory space in your crafting bag at level 100 and 200!'''

			*Any class can Scavenge, but you'll likely find it most useful on classes that can either AOE large groups of mobs, or handle farming Champions. If you want to farm Champions for purple fragments, classes like [[High Elf, Shadow Warrior\|Shadow Warrior]], [[Warrior Priest]], [[Dark Elf, Disciple of Khaine\|Disciple of Khaine]], [[Marauder]], and [[Squig Herder]] all make good Scavengers.

			*The level material you get is determined first by your own skill level, and then by the NPC level. (You can Scavenge high-level corpses even at level 1, but you'll need to gain more levels before you start getting high-level drops from those mobs.)

	* Leveling up the gathering skill, Scavenging, happens through the killing and looting of humanoid type NPCs in Return of Reckoning. When you kill the humanoid NPC, right click on the corpse or use your loot hotkey to first obtain whatever items and coin dropped from the mob, then right click or loot hotkey again to obtain a scavenging material from the corpse.		*If you want material of a specific level, divide the material level by 5. This represents the minimum level mob that will drop the material. You can kill mobs within the range of four levels above that. For example, if I want to obtain level 50 materials, I need to farm level 10-14 mobs. 50 divided by 5 equals 10, plus 4 is 14. Level 15 mobs will drop level 75 materials.
	* Once a material is successfully looted, the corpse will disappear.
	* The level of material that drops is first checked by your skill level, then by NPC level. It's a simple calculation: if you want material of a specific level, divide the material level by 5. This represents the minimum level mob that will drop the material. You can kill mobs within the range of four levels above that. For example, if I want to obtain level 50 materials, I need to farm level 10-14 mobs. 50 divided by 5 equals 10, plus 4 is 14. Level 15 mobs will drop level 75 materials.
	* You can only receive materials within the range of your skill level. For example, if you are killing level 20 mobs to get level 100 materials to drop, but your skill level in Scavenging is 92, you will only receive level 75 materials and lower.
	* Each humanoid corpse you loot will have a chance to level your Scavenging skill by one point, as long as it is within or above your skill level. For example, say my Scavenging is currently level 75, and I'm killing level 20-24 mobs (which drop level 100 materials). I'll have a very good chance to level my Scavenging up through level 100. If I'm killing level 15-19 mobs (which drop level 75 materials), I'll have a normal chance to level my Scavenging through 75 (I might see a slow-down somewhere around 90 because the chance to level is shrinking as I continue leveling up); and if I'm killing level 10-14 mobs (which drop level 50 materials), I'll have a very low, or zero, chance to increase my Scavenging past 75.		* Each humanoid corpse you loot will have a chance to level your Scavenging skill by one point, as long as it is within or above your skill level.
