I just salvaged a highly salvagable bone staff from Thunderhead Keep and it yielded 50 (fifty) bones. Never had a payout like that before, is this good?

From my experience, this sounds like a rare occurence. I have never salvage anything that gave me more than 12 crafting material. Even if I use an expert salvage kit on something that is highly salvagable.

I think the best I've salvaged of material was like 30-40 wood planks. You got lucky. Too bad it was bones...

Highly salvagable items that yield wood or bones often give large stacks like that. It's not a particularly rare occurance, and, really, not all that profitable since bones rarely rise above 3 gold each.

Best I think I have got is 5 steel from something I forget what. Had large numbers of wood planks and iron before.

I see, so numerically it was pretty good, financially it sucks, and basically it was just a 'nice' but not great surprise.

I got five steel from a highly salvageable axe the other night. I got something in excess of forty wood from a bow once, too.

Question: Does it matter whether or not you use an Expert Salvage Kit on "highly salvagable" items?

Maybe it's just because they're bones. Bones also drop in high amounts up to about 30. I had 18 Steel once

I loved that salvage.

I salvaged 27 steel ingots from a shield once... that has been my record in quantity and money.
