Does it increase the drop rate of the wrecks, or does it only decrease the number of cycles your salvager goes through before succeeding by increasing the chance that you'll be able to find anything during a cycle?
My Salvaging skill is at level 3 right now. Using 5-7 Salvagers on a Thrasher hardly requires it to be higher for the purpose of quicker salvaging. But if it increases the chance of something being there, then that's a different story.
If it doesn't increase the chance of something being there, then maybe it should. If something only hase a 10% chance of dropping, then a level V Salvaging skill would increase that to 12.5%. not much, but overall we'd see better drop rates.

As I understand it, the skill only increases the chance of your salvager hitting (not what it hits when it hits).
You do, however, need salvaging 4 if you want to salvage T2 ships or faction rats (Domination, True Sanshas, Overseers, Officers, etc).

Edited by: Jei''son Bladesmith on 03/03/2007 19:46:11 It only increases the chances that a given salvage cycle will be successful and clear the wreck, whether or not there is anything TO salvage in the wreck is determined when the wreck spawns.
In practical terms, a higher salvage % will let you salvage faster, but won't increase the amount of salvage you get in the end - that is goverened by the drop rates set by the devs.
Also for the record I have salvaging 3 and i HAVE salvaged T2 elite ships of all sizes with no problems, as well as some smaller faction wrecks, although I haven't yet had the chance to try to salvage NPC officer wrecks.

Thanks. I'm gonna go ahead and train up to lvl 4 anyway to free up another high slot in my salvager ship.
Drop rate sucks CCP. Raise the drop rate or reduce the material requirements of rigs. Please. Miner Timer |
