Salvage

[Raesanos]

As of the next reboot this new command will be in.  So, as you start using it, I'd like to see feedback on what other things can be done with it.  Discuss here and/or email me your ideas.

[Bogre]

Whoo!

[Only He Stands There]

Love it.

[LauraMars]

With bated breath I wait for the day that I am able to use this command.

[Arabian Nights]

Neat.

[RunningMountain]

Excellent, now I can do something with all the light-brown pants and bone-studded backpacks lying all over the freaking place.

Quite mudsexxing and killing newbs in your apartment and you wouldn't have that problem in the first place... duh!



On the new command one word: Sexy

[amoeba]

Heh, salvage. Someone has been playing too much Guild Wars. Nice command.

[jstorrie]

There is some protection against making something, taking it apart, and repeatedly crafting and salvaging it over and over to twink out crafting skills, right?

[Irulan]

This looks neat, I'm interested in seeing it in action.

Shiny, Cap'n.

Due to their poor quality, salvaged materials can only be crafted
into very crude items. However, they are also useful for repairing
armor and other tasks.

I think that implies that the uber silk cloak with silt pearls is gonna give ya a single piece of silk when ya salvage it. so ya get less then what ya put into it

Just jking , just I was going into shock seeing a thread with more then ten posts that had yet to have any flaming, just had to fix that to save myself.

[Hexxaex]

Are you only able to salvage items that are craftable in the first place?  For example, you can salvage a linen cloak that is made from a length of white linen, but you can't salvage a mug that is not craftable at all.  Would that statement be true?

[Xygax]

No, you can salvage anything; craftability is meaningless.  You won't really get any clue from salvaging an item about what it's made from in terms of crafting, either.  What you get back are makeshift scraps of material, not the original resources.

No, you can salvage anything

I intend to put this to the test on the first newbie corpse I come across.

This may be a bit misleading: not all material types are supported yet.  It is true however that craftability plays no role in the salvage command, which means that a most stuff will be salvagable, and eventually everything will be.

[Sandstorm Phoenix]

Absolutely awesome.  

This feels tantalizingly like one step towards more equipment deterioration.

Nah, use a baby object.

[Xygax]

Yes, sorry.  You can't salvage anything, it must be something of salvagable material.  But it isn't coupled to the crafts system

salvage baby

You begin working to salvage some materials from the pink-skinned baby.

You manage to salvage some semen and an egg from a pink-skinned baby.


Ewwww....gross...

No!  You got it wrong.

You craft a baby with semen and an egg.  When you salvage something, you don't break it up into what you crafted it from.

You can't salvage then craft then salvage then craft.

You'll get the result like this:

Code Select Expand


craft semen egg into pink-skinned baby
You make a pink-skinned baby!
...
salvage baby
You get a blue-coloured baby eye, a severed baby foot, a severed baby arm, a pile of baby intestines and some blonde baby hair.


Hey!  That's some nice wig you got there?  How's you get it?

Well, after you salvage twenty babies, you can then craft twenty pieces of blonde baby hair into the wig.  I've been selling them to Borsail for a nice-three fifty a pop, and I just run up north and steal me some more babies.  They're just popping out of every woman up in Tuluk, you know?  Savages, I tell you.  You should join my business
