Crafting and Salvaging

Ok, to start off i am a noob, i dont admit it often but ive only played the game for 4 hours now and i think im level 5. (been exploring)

However i have found out how to use the identifier kit, but some of the items i have found id as 'highly salvagable'

now, i didnt know what that ment and i have been vendoring blues i didnt want. I am wondering if i am screwing up big time.

I read somewhere about salvaging and crafting but i cant find anything to tell me exactly how/why/what it is. Does anyone have a link to an exact listing to tell me about it or if you could explain it yourself that would be BEYOND awesome


Thanks,
Zero

The unidentifed items usually are one of 3 things in pre-searing.
"highly salvagable" meaning you get more/better materials
"precious" meaning they sell higher to npc's
or they have some sort of chance to do an something. (+1 to marksmanship 10% of the time)
Usually I personally use an expert salaging kit on all blue items except the precious which I usually sell.

what do you use 'materials' for though?

For crafting new armor and weapons

ok... HOW do you craft these armors and weapons is the question im asking.


thanks in advance

save ur crafting materials

the biggest mistake i made with my first character was selling all the crafting materials that i didnt think were useful, but once u get to the post searing u will need them

as far as other items, like staffs or shields or swords or whatever, if u dont need them now, u wont later so u can sell them

zero in post searing- (meaning after you go through the Academy) their will be NPC vendors that will craft armor from raw materials. Also be aware some common materials can be converted to more rare materials from other npc an example would be steel being made from iron and charcoal.

Thankyou,

Is there a list somewhere on some fan site showing these conversions or how to's?

ive been searching all morning and id only seen 'post searing' as any answers ive come across.

thanks again for your help guys

not sure of a posting as in a materials database per se. The npc crafter do show what materials you need to craft certain items also the material traders also tell you what base components you need to combine to get the more exotic materials.

there is one of them in the old askalon explorable area not far from the saladek sanitarium

not to far from*cobble poundstone* rock elemental boss
