Defrag & Salvage
Defragmentation/Recycling System
Recycle upgradable equipment with the Defragmentation Hammer to recover scrap and shards for crafting.
How It Works
Defragmentation Hammer
1 charge per defrag
Use the hammer on equipment in your inventory (right-click the hammer → Use with…). Each use destroys the target item and consumes 1 charge. You receive scrap and shards based on the item's rarity.
You can also use the hammer on a backpack or bag that has several pieces of equipment inside. It breaks every eligible piece in that container (and nested bags) in one go. Still 1 charge per equipment — 8 items = 8 charges. The bag itself is not destroyed. Locked items, gemmed gear and ineligible pieces are skipped. If the hammer runs out of charges, it stops.
Rarities and Rewards
Fixed rewards per equipment rarity (only rarity matters — not item level or upgrade level):
| Rarity | Scrap | Shard |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 1× Common Scrap (61264) | 1× Common Shard (61267) |
| Uncommon | 2× Common Scrap | 2× Common Shard |
| Rare | 1× Rare Scrap (61265) | 1× Rare Shard (61268) |
| Epic | 2× Rare Scrap | 2× Rare Shard |
| Legendary | 1× Divine Scrap (61266) | 1× Ancient Shard (61269) |
| Mythic | 2× Divine Scrap | 2× Ancient Shard |
Mythic is the highest tier. Items with divine gems attached cannot be defragmented.
Restrictions
Not all items can be defragmented:
- Equipped items: Must be removed first
- Items with charges: Cannot be dismantled
- Locked items: Require prior unlocking
- Upgradable equipment only: Other item types are not eligible
- Mirrored items: Cannot be dismantled
- Items with attached divine gems: Cannot be dismantled
- Gem items and protected items: Cannot be defragmented
Defragmentation Process
- Keep the Defragmentation Hammer in your inventory
- Right-click the hammer and choose Use with… on upgradable equipment (not equipped), or on a backpack/bag full of gear
- Each destroyed item consumes 1 hammer charge (a bag of several pieces still costs one charge each)
- Rewards depend on rarity only
- Scrap and shards are added to your inventory automatically
Material Utility
Scrap and shards are used in Crafting and player trading.
Strategy
Defragmentation is useful for:
- Clearing inventory: Free up space profitably
- Obtaining resources: Transform useless items into useful materials
- Economy: Recover value from items that will not be used
- Progression recycling: Common items give baseline Fate/Upgrade only; higher rarities are better for Ancient fragments
