Does salvage have a higher drop rate when you're playing in SG mode?
Great list, btw. Umm...I see where the first 3 categories of salvage go, but what use is special salvage? Any ideas here?
The special salvage is picked up in PvP zone missions mostly and is used in elite defense items.
It drops ONLY in SG mode. I know, I've tried.
Which rare salvage pieces drop most often?

That can't be true. I've never played 1 second in SG mode and I have salvage. But I can certainly believe it comes faster
wow awsome job at putting this together.. many many thanks..

I'm not in a SG and I have lots of salvage.
It drops only if at least one member of your team is in SG mode.
There is a bug invoving being teamed side kicking and someone else being in SG mode. I've recieved salvage in those cases as well. Observed this in COV beta actually and reported it then. It hasn't apparently been fixed.

I recently got 'gifted' with a piece of Salvage that allowed me to get the codes for the warburg rocket w/ only 2 Techs. Think it was called Security Bypass (Might be wrong I read the salvage info and promptly went to Warburg to get 2 Techs to try it out and it worked and the salvage got used) been trying to find it again with no luck.
Thanks for the guide.
Anyone know what PVP Zone you would get the "Astrology Book" Special Salvage?
ive been searching forever and still cant find it so does anyone know if there is anyhting anywhere that uses the alien tech salvage???? my sg has about 500 of it and we cant figure out what to do with it.

I believe Alien Tech salvage comes mainly from running Bloody Bay missions. According to PDF Recipe List Tech & Arcane, Alien Tech salvage can only be used to create basic Tech base defenses including Chill Cannons, Improved Chain Guns, Sappers, and Tesla Cages. The more advanced versions of these items use Unstable Rad Pistols, which mainly come from Warburg missions. If you're not into base raiding, you won't need Alien Tech at all. If you are into base raiding, you'll want the better versions of those defenses. So Alien Tech is pretty much useless.
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
I've moved on to Diablo 3, TopDoc-1304
Does anyone have any more information about the special tech salvage Unstable Rad Pistol? Do they drop from missions in any pvp zone or only certain ones/at certain levels? Any extra info about these would be much obliged.

The Unstable Rad Pistol is common base technical salvage. It can be used to build base items, or fuel temporary buffs using the base empowerment stations. It seems to used to build a variety of specific base items, including some rare ones.
My first inclination, since it is base salvage, and technical salvage, is that it is not very valuable. However, a quick trip to Wentworths or the Black Market will tell you what other people think.
I'd do that myself, but I can barely stay connected for two minutes tonight.
Best of luck.

It is used in contruction of atleast one elite turret for base defenses, which is why I am wanting to know how/where to get them. So if I were to run missions in a pvp zone these should drop? In any zone? I'm trying to find out if they only drop under certain circumstances, or when/how you're most likely to get them.

Bah, I have played solo with every character I have created so far and each and every character has salvage items on them. None of my characters belong to a SG either.
Well done. Thank you.

Indeed "Salvage" does drop no matter if you are in a Supergroup or not or whether you are in SG mode or not. But this guide is talking about the uses of "Base" salvage, which only drops if you belong to a SG.
Introduction
This is a guide to explain what the various different types of Salvage are, how they are refined, and how they are used to build items for bases.

Salvage (or "What is all this junk?")
The Salvage you get from drops is the lowest tier in the construction of items for the SG base. You can see what Salvage you are currently carrying by opening the Salvage window (you can access it from the top of your power tray by clicking on the word 'Salvage' next to 'Enhancements' and 'Inspirations'). Salvage can be expressed as 4 basic categories: common, uncommon, rare, and special (note these terms aren't used in the actual game, they are just used to illustrate the relative frequency of the Salvage drops). You are awarded one piece of Special Salvage at the end of a Task Force, Strike Force, Trial, or PvP mission, adn also for defeating an AV or Hero - you won't get it anywhere else. All the rest is earned at random during normal play. You tend to find the less common Salvage at higher levels. Below is a (hopefully) comprehensive list of all the raw Salvage that exists in the game, which category it falls under and which Tree(s) it ends up being used in (I will explain the +/-/+ - classification later). I have then listed them all alphabetically along with the villain/hero groups that drop them:

You can carry up to 20 of each type of Salvage on any one character.
[/ QUOTE ]
Components (or "What do you do with all the junk?")
In order to be useful, all Salvage (except special Salvage drops - we'll come to those later) needs to be refined into the second tier of the crafting process: Components. Components are split into two trees of crafting - the Arcane tree and the Tech tree. Within each tree there are three levels of complexity of Component. Below are the various different Components that can be made, and which tree/level they fall under:
Basic Tech
Tech Material
Tech Power
Basic Arcane
Mystic Element
Mystic Foci
Advanced Tech
Tech Hardware
Tech Prototype
Advanced Arcane
Arcane Essence
Arcane Glyph
Expert Tech
Tech Software
Experimental Tech
Expert Arcane
Magical Ward
Magical Artifact
As you have probably guessed, the various Components are refined at their respective crafting bench in the base - so Tech Power Components can only be made at a Basic Tech Worktable, while Arcane Glyph Components can only be made at an Advanced Arcane Forge.
If you visit the crafting tables in the base, you will be able to see there are lots of different recipes for all these Components - that is to say there are many different ways you can combine raw Salvage to make each Component. It doesn't matter which recipe is used though, Components are the same no matter what Salvage was used to make them.
If you look back at the raw Salvage list you will see that there were 3 main categories and a fourth 'Special' category. Basically "Common Salvage" is needed to make Basic Components, "Uncommon Salvage" is needed to make Advanced Components, and "Rare Salvage" is needed to make, yup, Expert Components. However... some of the Common Salvage also features in Advanced or Expert Recipes (these were marked with a '+' in the salvage lists, to indicate they can be used in 'higher' recipes), and some of the Uncommon Salvage can be in Basic (-), Expert (+), or both (+-) recipes, and some of the Rare Salvage is used in lower recipes too (-). This is where we encounter our first potential problem. If you just visit crafting tables regularly and refine whatever Salvage you have at the time, chances are you will often have the right ingredients to make Basic Components, but might be just short of an Advanced recipe, or possibly an Expert one - but if you make a Basic Component then you may be using up Salvage that could have been used to make an Advanced or Expert Component. For this reason it is usually wise to wait until you have lots of Salvage and then try the workbenches in order, starting with the highest level first. That way you reduce the chances of missing out on the more difficult to make Components due to using up Salvage on the easy to make ones.
Once you have refined Salvage into a Component it cannot be broken back down. The Component takes the place of whatever bits of Salvage were used to make it and is listed in your Salvage window alongside your other unrefined raw Salvage - you can filter to see just your Components by clicking on the Components tab in the Salvage window.
You can carry up to 99 of each type of Component on any one character.
[/ QUOTE ]
Items (or "What are Components used for?")
Once we are armed with all these Components we can then move onto the final phase - actually building Items for the base. Like Components, Items are part of either the Tech tree or the Arcane tree, and they are also built at either the Basic, Advanced or Expert crafting tables. Basic Item recipes only need Basic Components, but Advanced Items need both Basic and Advanced Components. Expert Items usually need all three types of Components - and some also require some of the Special Salvage that we mentioned earlier. Special Salvage is either Arcane or Tech.
When you build an Item it is added to your 'Personal Items', ready to be installed into the base. You can see your Personal Items by going to the entrance room in the base and clicking 'Add Personal Item' - this will put you in a basic base editor mode which will only allow you to add Items you have made - once they are placed you no longer have any control over them. Most Items can only be placed in one particular type of room in the base (the Info box can tell you which) and placing an Item costs a certain amount of Prestige (indicated below the Item). Items also require both Control and Power to operate, and we have only a limited amount of each in the base. Personal Items which are sold are lost forever with no refund of Components used to make them. Once Items are made they cannot be broken back down into Components.
There is no limit to the number of Personal Items you can have waiting to be installed, but if you leave an SG then any non-installed Personal Items are lost permanently, with no refund of the Components that were used to build them.
