Salvage

At present, there are four levels to the salvage skill, although we can presume there might one day be a total of seven as it is a popular number in Egypt. They are learned from the schools of Architecture, Art&Music, Conflict, and Worship. Each level allows you a chance to reclaim a greater percentage of the build materials when tearing down buildings. Note that items used in upgrading a building are not reclaimed. Such that a guild hall built at level one and expanded to level 100 is reclaimed as a size one guild hall.

Some quick testing numbers:

Level	Min%	Avg%	Max%
1	40	45	50
2	50	60	65
3	55	70	75
4	60	75	80

[My observation, moving a couple of large guild camps at Salvage Level 4, has been that the variation is not very great when there are a large number of items involved. For example, when I recently salvaged 4 Clinker Vats, the number of bricks was always within just a few bricks of 4000. If there are just one or two of an item in a building, such as clay domes in a rabbit hutch or brass plates in a barrel vise, you may or may not get any back at all. So it appears to me, at least, to be a base percentage, minus a random number (maybe 0 to 3?) of the item. This is something that needs further testing by more individuals. -- Solalique]
