you can only hold 100plantinum on your body at a time, so any more than that has to go in storage.
expert salvaging is good if you're trying to get rare crafting materials, if you expert salvage a sword instead of basic salvaging it, you might get a steel ingot instead of an iron one...or you could get silk or linen from a dropped armor or robe instead of cloth. also, if a dropped armor is purple or blue, its almost definately worth expert salvaging as it most likley has a rune of some sort in it. i dont even bother with the basic salvage kit anymore really, i just use the expert one on everything, it really doesnt save you that much money to use a basic one sometimes. this is how i sometimes get lucky and get rare materials and such. also, a purple or gold weapon often has a suffix or prefix, such as "firey axe of fortitude" if you expert salvage it, you will either get the fortitude shaft, or the firey haft..staffs have heads and wraps. this is how if you find a weapon that has max damage or just looks cool, you can mod it and make it even better...thats what i did with my chaos axe.
no, it doesnt have to say salvagable to be salvagable. swords, axes, hammers, staffs..sheilds...just about everything is salvagable. staffs give you wood or ingots, swords ingots or granite, hammers, granite or wood...and who knows what else. i always just salvage everything and horde the materials in my vault. who knows when the prices will skyrocket, or i might need it for armor on a future character. this really saves money in the long run if you ask me.
the only kits i have in my inventory are the expert salvage and the identification kit. and thats just me, you can carry the basic one if you want...dont let me stop ya
