I think salvaging is too hard to level. I spent the past 2 days leveling both crafting and salvaging. Crafting is at 100 now. Took me 6000-8000 made items to level it to 100. Started emptying the vendor of warp drives until I have the schematic and made/salvaged them until I got the upgraded version. My last run was 125 Epic warp drives that took me from 97 skill to 100 hit about 90ish into crafting them. This is all slow but at a good pace.


Salvaging on the other hand.... All but about 200 of the drives I made were salvaged including every vendors gear that I could buy to salvage every time I had to go to a station for refined ore runs along with another 300-400 I made before writing this. I am now at skill level 60. I did a test and it took me 50 epic warp drives to go from 59.5 to 60. At that rate if it remained constant I would have about 4000 more epics to make to hit 100 Salvage but I am guessing that is not a constant gain and my skill xp will be less the higher I get.

I did the same test with basic drives and it was a laughable amount of gain.


All perks are were set to Salvage XP increase and INT was as high as I could make it at 42.

Just my thoughts.

On a side note, a select all or salvage all/sell all option would be nice.
