Tinkering
Salvage what you don't need into parts at Sprocket Sal's Scrap Bench in the Yard, build gadgets out of the parts and a ticket fee, and give to the World Projects. A salvage pays half its parts' value in XP (at most 40 an item); a build pays more the higher the gadget, so the newest one you can build is always the best XP for what it costs. Scrap piles up, so Sal's scrap press turns ten Scrap into a Gear or a Spark. The top gadgets: the Pet Whistle (70, your pet's effect doubled for 10 minutes), the Monocle (95, rare drops 20% more often for 15 minutes) and the Claw Grapnel (99, one pull to any open map). At 99, Sal sells the Tinker's cape: a Masterwork 20% of the time, and a tenth more parts from every salvage.
