# Salvaging

<figure><img src="/files/QCFIt9QKaCoYUrHFmtIX" alt="" width="188"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Salvaging an item **returns a portion of its original crafting materials**. To salvage something a [**Scrapper Tool**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/miscellaneous-tools.md) is needed and any Salvaging deducty 10 Durability of the Scrapper.

When salvaging, there is a small chance to hit a **Jackpot** and get **double** the materials back.

Also, certain Items can result in **Bonus Loot:**

* **Armor & Weapons**
  * **Orb of Reforging**
  * **Orb of Refinement**
* **Tools & Talismans**
  * **Divine Favor Token**

These Chances increase with the Quality and Rarity Tier of your Scrapper Tool.

## How to salvage a tool (step by step)

Salvaging lives in the tool's detail view, opened from your **Backpack**. You need an equipped [**Scrapper Tool**](/pawtato-land/gameplay/tools/miscellaneous-tools.md) with at least **10 Durability** before you can salvage. **Mythic** tools cannot be salvaged, and tools are salvaged one at a time.

1. Open your **Backpack** (the backpack icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen).
2. Find the tool you want to salvage in the **Tools** section of the Backpack and click it.
3. Click **Details** in the tool's tooltip to open its detail view.
4. Scroll to the **Salvage** card. If the tool is equipped, unequip it first; if it's listed on the marketplace, delist it first.
5. Select the red **Salvage** button and confirm.
6. The **Tool Salvaged** rewards window shows the materials (and any bonus loot) you received.
