Getting started
- Salvage what you don't need into parts.
- Build gadgets out of parts plus a ticket fee.
- Give parts to World Projects that the whole server builds together.
Parts
Four kinds, kept in a pouch of their own: they take no bag space, and Bom won't buy them.
| Part | Worth | Mostly from |
|---|---|---|
| Scrap | 1 | anything: drops, loot, the leftovers of everything else |
| Gears | 5 | metal: gear, tools, bars and ore |
| Sparks | 5 | magic: spell pages, ink, wands, and magical drops like stardust and voidglass |
| Relic shards | 50 | anything Bom would pay 150 or more for |
Gadgets
Built at the Scrap Bench from parts plus a ticket fee. A timed gadget runs only outside (and in the Guild), like a drink, and you can run one of each at once; the others are used on the spot. Every build has a 5% chance of a Masterwork: twice as many. Gadgets are items, so they trade on the Market.

How salvage works
- An item salvages into parts worth 70% of what Bom would pay you for it. Something he pays nothing for (a feather, a pit) is still worth a little Scrap.
- A stack is added up before it's rounded down, so a pile of junk is worth more than one piece of it.
- Salvage the lot takes only plain drops and loot, never gear, food or anything rare; those go one at a time.
- Salvaging pays Tinkering xp: half an item's part value, but never more than 40 for one item, so a rare isn't a shortcut. Building a gadget pays 15 xp for each level it needs.
- Money, keys, eggs, pets and quest or event items can't be salvaged.
World Projects
Broken things around the world that the whole server rebuilds together. Anyone can give parts and tickets to the current stage at its board. When a stage is full, somebody with the Tinkering level it asks for has to stand at it and finish the job. Everybody who gave gets that build's Builder's Pin, and the Builders board on the Hiscores counts what each person gave. Each project has three stages:

Tips
- The automation tools (Auger, Chainsaw, Auto-Reel) keep you gathering with no clicks and walk you to the next rock, tree or spot of the same kind. When nobody has touched the game for a few minutes they work at 75% speed, and nothing gathers while you're logged out.
