Salvage

Description
Salvaging materials is a critical part of the crafting system in Firefall. At the bottom of your inventory, there is a "Salvage" button. To any item, open the "Salvage Bar" and add items to discard. Depending on the rarity, tier and build of the item, different amounts of Research points, crystite and resources will be generated. This is the best way to get Research points and maintain a manageable inventory.

Most items in the inventory can be salvaged. This includes:

Research
The Research Tree can be found at the Molecular Printer. This tree is used to upgrade the amount of equipment that is allowed to be manufactured. Example: To obtain a level 30 Recon - R36 Assault Rifle through crafting, you will have to upgrade your way up the tree to get the recipes.

The currency of researching is Research Points and crystite.

As previously mentioned, salvaging materials is the best way to gain Research points.

Resources
There are 2 types of salvage material drops; normal drops and legacy drops.
