Salvaging does not always return the full crafting cost, but it provides a valuable way to recover otherwise wasted resources.

What items should you salvage

• Salvaging old weapons is useful because it allows you to recover valuable metal materials after you upgrade to better gear.
• Salvaging outdated armor is important because it lets you reclaim ingots instead of simply discarding the equipment.
• Salvaging extra tools is helpful because it helps clear unnecessary clutter from your inventory.
• Salvaging loot duplicates is beneficial because it converts excess gear into useful crafting materials.

Why salvaging matters in Hytale

As you explore new zones and unlock stronger equipment, older items quickly lose value. The Salvager’s Workbench keeps those items relevant by feeding materials back into your crafting loop, helping you progress faster and maintain a cleaner inventory.
