• What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:

At the Arcana table, select any arcana weapon, starmetal fire staff for example. The only tier IV ingredient the game makes you use is wyrdwood planks and allows you to use iron to make a the starmetal fire staff. When you salvage the item, it returns starmetal ingots.

In my discovery, I made 10 starmetal fire staffs out of 50 iron ingots, and the salvaging process returned 32 starmetal ingots.

Maybe this is intentional but it didn’t feel right and created an account to report.

You forgot to add that the Fire Staff requires:

x8 Wyrdwood planks
x6 Fire Motes
x4 Coarse Leather
x5 Iron Ingot

And it can be salved into some random 1-4 Starmetal Ingots? That is mostly a gold loss.

Found the same, came here to find out that its already reported, but I actually feel the same as Alexandrite says, Input Material + Production cost is more that what you get out of salvaging … Nevertheless reported.
