Breaking down old armor

[naomha]

I've seen and done the breaking down of weapons (old) I've found and gotten resources for but is there no way to break down armor and get back some resources as well? I'd really hate to just "delete" the old armor if at some point I get the ability to break this stuff down. Anyone know for sure?

ATM - you can't - salvage Armor / shield's or Jewellery - as those items can't be enchanted like weapons. Hope they expand Armor / shield's and Jewellery crafting and add enchanting for those items.

How do you salvage old items? I only have the option to Delete and it does nothing except remove the item. The text of old books suggests they can be salvaged for a material but I don't know if it's just flavor or indeed a game mechanic.

It comes as an addon once you get the blacksmith.

Aaah! That's good to know. Thanks!

ONLY things you can salvage are weapons and all of those are swords, axes, etc. I don't think you can salvage bows yet either.

It is Early Access so anything is possible

Only for items you find - not for items you crafted yourself.

Ooh, that's a downer then :( Still something though. At least the game world is vast and maybe except for some materials everything is potentially abundant.

You can salvage bows for runes!

I have gotten old books but it is weird as you have to get to just the right position next to/above the books then hold E to deconstruct them. I saw them used in one recipe the Alchemist has,hopefully they expand on their usage at the moment they really aren't worth the trouble.

I have to agree, i hope they add in armor, bows and other items to be deconstructed but not just for coins, because they have also had upgrades added to them like weapons.

You resurrected a year-old thread to correct what may have been true back then, but has changed since then in a year of very active development.
