200 Invention Salvage storage

[Display Name]

So I noticed that my badging toon can hold 200 salvage on the Invention tab.  Honestly, I never paid attention and was going to come here and beg for answers.  But then I had this *brilliant* idea!  Search the (unofficial) Homecoming wiki!  How amazing is that?  I was so proud of myself!

I forget which rabbit holes I dove into exactly.  But I *found* my answer!  Yay!  This page breaks down all your Salvage capacities (not just Invention) and how they're achieved.  Side note: the "Transaction Capacity" is how many items you can sell at once on the Auction House without getting *all* of your channels spammed with the message "you sold too many items, peasant!"

Yup.  You'll find that normal play is generally sufficient (by the mid 30s, you'll be around 150ish pieces of salvage), so you need to ask yourself is that extra 50 really worth the effort.

Agreed, especially with the Vault storage being immediately accessible. Most of my toons cap out at 172 or so

apparently, i am not normal... i have often wished that it was at least 210. namely because i craft batches of 70 recipes at a time, each needing 3 ingrediants. 😄

That's where you use your vault storage.

This is generally why I tend to craft in bunches of 50 or 30.  Honestly, I don't mind that this is a bit of a governor to slow down crafting slightly, but I do find it interesting that you get 150 salvage slots at level 5 (I didn't bother to look when I mentioned 30s earlier) but can only increase that to 200 at the max through pretty significant effort.  That said, the ability for one character to hold, say, 500 or 1000 pieces of salvage would probably make it easier to manipulate the salvage market over the short term.

In this particular case, it was.  Not because I needed the extra storage per se...  Only because getting the extra storage is partially the result of badging and it's my badging toon.
