Recycling

Recycling lets you break down crafted equipment to recover some of the original crafting materials. It’s useful for clearing unwanted gear or recovering resources. To recycle an item, your character must be on a map with a workshop of the matching skill. For more information about maps, see Maps and Movement.

Caution

Only items that have a craft recipe and are crafted using the weaponcrafting, gearcrafting, or jewelrycrafting skills are eligible for recycling.

Resources Returned

The materials you receive are chosen randomly from the item’s craft recipe. The number of resources returned depends on recipe complexity:

resources returned = floor((total items in recipe - 1) / 5) + 1

With a minimum of 1 resource per recycled item.
