I've added the ability to salvage crafting materials from existing equipment. This destroys the piece of equipment and awards you half the crafting material used to create the item, rounded down. Since the item is destroyed in the process, any enhancements it might have had are lost as well.
Salvaging an item requires a rating of at least 25 in the profession used to create it (e.g., a jeweler for a ring, a tailor for a cloak, etc.) and between one and three days of downtime, depending on rating. Items not made from special materials cannot be used for salvaging.
Where is the like button! =DÂ
