[[Salvaging]] is breaking down equipment into [[materials]] via the [[Blacksmith]]. All {{magic|magic}}, {{rare|rare}}, {{set|set}}, and {{legendary|legendary}} items can be salvaged, but not <span style="color:white">superior</span>, <span style="color:white">normal</span>, or <span style="color:#909090">inferior</span> items. Every item is associated with one of the four difficulty levels, based on its item level, and yields materials based on that and its rarity.
==Materials==
:''Main article: There are nine [[Materialmaterial]]''There are 9 materials available from salvagings in total. Each difficulty level has its own pair of {{magic|magic}}- material and its own {{rare|rare}}-quality materials, and material. Inferno alone has a {{legendary|legendary}}-quality material. An item always yields materials of the difficulty level its item level corresponds to: item levels 1–30 are Normal, 31–50 are Nightmare, 51–59 are Hell, and 60–63 are Inferno. * {{magic|Magic}} items have a 100% chance to yield a {{magic|magic}} material and a 15% chance to also yield a {{rare|rare}} material.* {{rare|Rare}} items have a 100% chance to yield both a {{magic|magic}} material and a {{rare|rare}} material.* {{legendary|Legendary}} and {{set|set}} items have a 100% chance to yield three {{rare|rare}} materials. On Inferno, one of these [[Iridescent Tear|{{rare|Iridescent Tears}}]] is swapped for a [[Fiery Brimstone|{{legendary|Fiery Brimstone}}]]. Materials cannot be converted or upgraded. ::A list of all materials can be seen on the [[Material]]s article.
