Deconstruction Guide
Starting at level 11 you will be able to deconstruct dropped/looted items for
dusts or materials. Each tier has its own deconstruction recipe. When done with
the deconstruction recipe you will get ”°xxxx parts”± (for example: ”°weapon parts”±
or ”°armor parts”± etc.) that is a clickable object. When you right click on that
item you will have various amounts of dusts or resources, as well as
orbs/spheres added to your inventory. If you already have some of those items,
the new items will stack with the ones you had, if not they'll go in an empty
inventory slot. You can watch your text window to see what you get a bit easier.
You must get to A quality or you will get ”°broken parts”± which are
worthless and vendor trash. Getting to 100% quality will give better results in
most cases. It's not guaranteed to give you more than if you only got to 90% but
you have a better chance of getting better stuff. In general, for 100% you get
multiple dusts, where as under 100% you tend to only get 1 dust. For resources
you always get between 10 chunks/logs/shards and 2 full resources, with 100%
decons giving you a slightly better return rate.
When you deconstruct an
item, your results will be from a tier of the lowest of either the items level
or the recipes tier to determine what you get from the decon. For example if you
use the Amateur deconstruction recipe to deconstruct a level 35 item you will
get the Amateur (Tier 2) reward and not an Initiate (Tier 4) reward. This works
in reverse as well. For example, if you use an Apprentice deconstruction recipe
on a level 11 item you will get the Amateur (Tier 2) reward and not the
Apprentice (Tier 3) reward. For best results you should use the deconstruction
recipe that is for the same tier as the item you are deconstructing. If you
want, you can deconstruct higher items than the decon recipe you have, but you
will not get the higher tier items. If you had a level 45 (Tier 5) green item,
you can deconstruct it using Tier 3 decon recipe to get Tier 3 dusts. This can
be handy if you can find cheap higher items, or are a higher adventure that gets
these drops. You can always use a higher level item for a lower level decon if
you want, but you will only get the lower level results. Using a higher level
decon on a lower level item will only make you do more work, you will still get
the lower level items.
