After a lot of demands of newer players about salvaging, heres a little post explaining what you need and how to do it.

Appart from the skills that are listed on the first page (mechanic 3 - survey 3 - salvaging 1), you will need to get the skill ''Targeting'' and level it at least to 2.

You will then need to get into a destroyer (requires ''Destroyers'' level 1)

Amarr : Coercer
Caldari : Cormorant
Gallente : Catalyst
Minmatar : Thrasher

You will need to fit it with
- 4x Small Tractor Beam I (they are a bit expensive for newer players, ask your mentor to give
you the necessary isk)
- 4x Salvager I
- 1mn Afterburner

The rest of the slots you will with what ever you want, I would personnally suggest :
- Expanded Cargohold I
- Cap Recharger I
- Capacitor Power Relay I

Fit as many as you want/can in mid/low slots I personnally love having at least 2x expanded cargo. and the rest in Cap.

You can also fit rigs (salvage tackle I) once you start getting some money, if you salvage A LOT, i would recommend them, but if not its really not necessary

Once that is done, you will kindly ask if anyone is running level 4s, because level 3 and under are not worth to salvage.

If someone is indeed running level 4s and has room for a salvager, he will link you the system he is in. Once you are in the same system, invite said person to form a fleet (or ask him to fleet you). You will then use the ''warp to fleet member'' option'' and ''leave fleet'' during warp. Once you arrive at the destination, you will ''add bookmark'' under the Peoples and Places tab. That way if anything happens, you can warp back to the location and keep on salvaging.

Now, you will need to pay attention while you are salvaging, if you ever get attacked (or even locked) by a NPC, you will have to warp out immediately and then come back. The guy you are following might also inform you that there will be a respawn, or to warp out for a certain reason. If he does so, warp out, and warp back in when he tells you he has all the aggro.


Now on to the main topic itself : How does salvaging work ??

A lot of people do it in different ways, and after a couple of time you will find your own way of doing it.

A general guideline though is to use the Afterburner to close the distance between wrecks, you will then lock 4 targets and put a Tractor beam on everyone of them. You will then proceed to loot the wrecks when they are close to you (Open Cargo) and transfer the valuable items/items you feel like keeping. You are free to keep/sell the items, but donations to the corp hangars are always welcome since this is the one of the best way to refill it. Once the wrecks have been looted, you will use your ''Salvager 1'' to salvage the wrecks.

Rinse and Repeat

Now for the salvage parts. You should always try to sell them at a major trade hub (Rens is the closest trade hub to our main hangar). If the price you are given for your salvage is low (under regional average), you will need to put up a sell order, which is made through clicking on ''advanced'' and putting the price that you want to sell them at.

Try to keep the salvage parts that are not worth much money and contract them to ViceorVirtue since he is able to make expensive items with these pieces.

Have fun getting rich.
