Salvage material is used to enhance the attributes and/or modifier % of armor, weapons, casting items and jewelry in various ways. There are three general types of salvage - imbuing salvage (e.g. Salvaged Jet), tinkering salvage (e.g. Salvaged Steel) and restriction-changing salvage (e.g. Salvaged Teak).

There are a number of methods of acquiring salvage available in Asheron's Call.

• Player crafted bags of salvage which can be created from consuming non-quest loot generated items using an Ust, a utensil every new player receives upon each character creation {See Salvaging page for more details on how to salvage).

Types of Salvage that can be acquired using Alternative Currency:

• Sealed bags of tinkering material are also available from the Alternative Currency vendors.
• There are certain quests that include salvage as part of their rewards e.g. Clutch of Kings quests.
• Foolproof Salvage (FP) bags of imbuing material are available from Alternative Currency vendors. The benefit of this type of salvage is that it has a success rate of 100% and is guaranteed to succeed.
• For players that have received a Writ of Apology over the years, they can exchange the writs for Foolproof Salvage from a Royal Guard in Samsur.
