Salvaging/Value Pre2013

Sell Value
The value of the salvage that results depends on salvaging skill and is affected by salvaging augmentations (workmanship has no effect). At low skill levels the resultant salvage retains only a portion of the original item's value, however at higher skill levels the value returned is greater than the original's and is in effect a bonus. In other words, selling a salvage bag gives more pyreals than if you were to sell the item as is. This is a very effective way of earning pyreals because it allows you to condense items in the field into high value bags to sell later (keep in mind the 400,000p value limit though). This means that you can earn nearly 150% of the face value of items you sell. To further maximize your earnings sell your bags to vendors that buy at or near face value, for example Tunlok Weapons Master for 100% (Town Founder quest required for access) or Janier al-Evv for 95% (no quest required).
