How to unlock the Salvager’s Workbench
The Salvager’s Workbench is not available immediately. You must first upgrade your regular workbench to Tier 2, which unlocks additional crafting recipes, including salvaging tools.
Once your workbench reaches Tier 2, the Salvager’s Workbench recipe becomes available.
How to salvage your items in Hytale
Step 1: Upgrade your regular workbench to Tier 2
Progress your crafting until your main workbench reaches Tier 2. Without this upgrade, you won’t see the salvager recipe.
Step 2: Craft a Salvager’s Workbench
At your Tier 2 workbench, craft the Salvager’s Workbench using:
- Any tree trunk x5
- Any type of stone x5
- Iron ingots x6
The exact wood or stone type does not matter.
Step 3: Place the Salvager’s Workbench
Place the Salvager’s Workbench in your base or crafting area so it’s easily accessible.
Step 4: Insert unwanted items
Interact with the salvager and place any unwanted weapons, armor, or tools into its input slot.
Step 5: Salvage and collect materials
Once processed, the item is broken down and returns usable components you can store or reuse for crafting.
What items can be salvaged
Most crafted or looted gear can be salvaged, making this especially useful for:
- Old weapons replaced by upgrades
- Armor pieces you no longer use
- Extra tools cluttering your inventory
The returned materials depend on the item being salvaged.
Why salvaging is worth doing
Salvaging reduces waste and helps stretch your resources further. Instead of grinding for fresh materials, you can recycle old gear and reinvest those components into better equipment.
