Salvage

>salvage

Salvage takes a tool apart and returns a quarter of what it cost, resource by resource, temper included. It works on one tool, a list of tools or the whole inventory, and in that last case it spares by default what you would regret losing: tempered tools, rare tools or better, favorites and equipped tools.

What sets it apart

A quarter, rounded per resource

The refund rereads the tool’s recipe and returns 25% of each resource, rounded down. Ingots come back as ingots: nothing is broken back down into ore.

25% per resource

Temper is refunded too

Each temper level cost a share of the recipe. Salvage adds the recipe and all those tempers before taking its quarter, so a tempered tool returns noticeably more.

recipe + tempers

The word all is careful

Without a qualifier, all leaves out tempered tools and everything rare or better. Naming a rarity lifts the quality guard, never the temper guard.

Guards

read in this order: the first one that applies gives the reason

Guard	When	By ids	With all
Not a tool	An essence or an item that is not a tool.	yes	yes
Equipped	The tool is worn.	yes	yes
Frozen	The tool is frozen.	yes	yes
Reserved	The tool is committed to an NPC.	yes	yes
Favorite	Marked by >tools favorite.	yes	yes
Tempered	Temper 1 or more.	no	yes, always
Rare or better	Rare, epic or legendary quality.	no	yes, unless a rarity is named

A type filter (pickaxe, axe, shovel) narrows the list but lifts no guard.
