If we can't sell the junk, then let's salvage it

As of now when I find certain types of items I get a lot but have no use for, like cell materia, or holiday spirits, I edit the config files to allow them to be refined into a small amount of pixels. So this is my work around for not having a way to salvage or sell certain things.

 

I get the OP's recommendation but I'm still a bit on the fence, it's a good idea but if you could salvage weapons they'd only give you wood and a metal bar or 2.

 

That would still be better than putting them in the trash compactor.

 

Ya it would have to yield something but not be overpowered returning too much of the base material, maybe 20% of original materials used. So if it took 10 bars of whatever you'd get back 2.

 

Yes, please add salvageable materials.

 

I think a good example of salvaging would be the system they use in Diablo 3, were you break it down into a component related to the weapons tier (common, magic, rare, legendary, blah blah blah), and if you have enough of those components, you can use them to randomly generate a new weapon of that tier. Obviously the specifics are a bit more in depth than that, but that's the basic idea for those who haven't played the game I'm talking about. I just think it's a good system, and worth looking at.
