Item Salvage Bug

Started 28 Oct 2018

in Resolved Issues

Salvaging the same item yields less salvage return each time, down a minimum return of 1 salvage.
Reproduce: Craft X amount of an item and salvage them.

I have uploaded a youtube video [Salvage bug starts at 1:25] of the issue; I craft X amount of items and then attempt to salvage to get returns to continue leveling weaponcrafting.

More to add to this. As I leveled up to 250 I started crafting the Steel Bill weapon (which I crafted the lower tiers of this for 50-75 and 150-175) and when I salvage it my first salvage was already only going 1 bar back. However if I craft a steel item of something I have never crafted before, say a steel Kite Shield (I don't craft shields to level), my salvage return is high on the first attempt. So it seems to be grouping items by their Item Type when applying the bug.

Your metalworking has to be higher to salvage without any loss. about itemlevel*20 + 50

Normally it is not profitable to salvage crafted items, even without any loss. simply sell them to a merchant

@MeanderSilberberg right, however the return shouldn't drop by 1 each time I do it. In any case it was fixed today. Thanks devs!
