Uh, I13 did away with Base Salvage drops. Now you need Invention Salvage to craft base items instead.
You can still convert existing Base Salvage at any invention table though, so all's not lost.

And its a right pain too. I recently got my autodoc and it cost me 70k for the invention salvage and a further 50k prestige to build it as a personal item. I was against the change as I was wary of the prices and find it very irritating to be proved correct. Small SGs like mine are penalised again. Its a lot of work for a machine that sells 2 inspirations. And we have to pay rent too. 700 prestige a month.

Of these, 70k for salvage isn't a lot for a one off purchase. It's much harder to raise the 50k prestige. Isn't the prestige amount the same as before I13?
The other thing that gets mentioned is invention salvage for empowerment stations. Nearly all the empowerments can be made from high level common salvage which is so cheap it's almost free.
I just resent the price. Base salvage wasn't exactly confusing and didn't cost inf. Thr prices for bases have altered for a lot of things but I'm not sure which have changed and which haven't.

I agree that there was no need to get rid of Base Salvage, but the TCO of base ownership has reduced considerably.
My guess is that this was designed not so much to reduce confusion - that's probably more smokescreen than anything - but was designed to make use of some of the totally worthless invention salvage.
It's now rare to need to sell "junk" salvage at the stores, instead you can sell everything you don't need at the AH.
As far as I can see the biggest problem brought about by this is, if I needed to craft something for the base (or make a buff) I'd just go to base salvage store, take what I needed and make it. Now I can't afford to store what I'd like to.

I'm glad that they got rid of base salvage. Whenever I used to see "salvage found" in combat I'd then be a little disappointed to remember that it meant base salvage not invention salvage.
It is annoying that the salvage racks hold so little stuff though. I know the dev's said that they intend to up the limit but I hope they'll do it sooner rather than later. 30 pieces just ain't enough.
I can understand how it might be annoying to be forced to buy salvage to craft stuff when you used to have all the base salvage you ever needed. Hopefully, you'll be able to build up a suitable supply of invention salvage before too long.
I no longer earn base salvage, any reason for this ?? I am lvl 50 I am in SG mode.
