Diablo 4 has no shortage of loot, as the world of Sanctuary is teeming with various sources that can drop you rare items to equip on your character. While every player will be anxiously awaiting their first legendary piece of gear or the right weapon for their build, you will find that most of the loot you receive is not worth keeping. In these cases, you can either sell that gear to earn extra gold or salvage it to get back crafting materials.
It’s ultimately up to you whether or not you want to sell or salvage an item in Diablo 4. However, some players might simply be wondering how they can salvage an item in the first place. Below, you can find the answer to that question along with some other details about what it means to salvage a weapon or piece of armor in Diablo 4.
Diablo 4 – How to salvage gear and weapons
You are able to salvage most pieces of gear when you visit a Blacksmith. Blacksmiths are marked by the anvil icon on your mini-map and should be available in most towns across Sanctuary. Once you get to a Blacksmith, the first screen you see after interacting with them is the salvage screen.
