Salvaged from Crafted tonics[edit]

So I can craft Ruminant Tonic (req 200) but it's not salvageable. Darkskyz.5716 (talk) 09:09, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
Does not work on Mystery Tonics either.

Compote line of food[edit]

Confirmed: None of the compotes can be salvaged for research notes. Endrosz (talk) 14:11, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Compotes cannot be salvaged with a Research Kit

Potent Potion of Elemental Slaying[edit]

salvaging Potent Potion of Elemental Slaying gives 1-2 Research Notes.

Any info on what's the cheapest things to recycle to get notes?[edit]

I've noticed that Pumpkin Oil and other Halloween consumables give 1-2 Notes when salvaged with a kit. -- Crazy (talk) 08:41, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Ascended Salvage Results[edit]

I've had the following salvage results:

I've only salvaged two of each, so I have no idea what the actual range is. I assume it's the same for the other armour weights, but I've only salvaged light armour. Chest salvage results might be bugged? Lacrisma.1540 (talk) 23:32, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

To help with finding the range, so far what I got: Max. Research Notebooks received from asc pieces (minus chest): 20 - Min: 4 ---- Max. Piles of Research received from asc pieces (minus chest): 6 - Min: 2 Lacrisma.1540 (talk) 10:17, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
Crafted ascended backpieces (like Bough of Melandru ) can be salvaged but will not award any Research Notes, possibly bugged. Lacrisma.1540 (talk) 21:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Stealth nerf of research notes from ascended?[edit]

Two of us salvaged 3 ascended between us, we got 250 per ascended piece. Nerfed? --Hesione (talk) 06:11, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Got 240 notes each from my last two ascended weapons. Boo. User Rose Of Kali SIG.jpgRose Of Kali 04:56, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Just research-salvaged 3 chestpieces and 2 leggings. Chests gave 250, 275, and 775 notes, legs gave 450 and 650. RNG is RNG. - Tanetris (talk) 22:25, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Coffee[edit]

Was looking for a cheap way to get notes. Was recommended making or buying coffee, and it does seem to be a fairly cheap way to go. Not sure if this is worth adding to the main article, as prices change, but figured I'd add it here. Just got 2 stacks of notes for very cheap by cooking my own Cup of Light-Roasted Coffee. Please add your own suggestions. User Rose Of Kali SIG.jpgRose Of Kali 23:17, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Salvaging 100 Cup of Light-Roasted Coffee yielded 123 Research Notes, totaling 123 Research notes. Sorter (talk) 19:43, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

As of 3/29/2022 Patch Notes Cup of Light-Roasted Coffee no longer can be salvaged for Research Notes.--Justaplayer (talk) 22:58, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Salvage results for non-exotics[edit]

Salvaging 100 Masterwork "Assassin's Mithril Axe" yielded 191 Research Papers and 5 Research notebooks, totaling 1080 Research notes. Sorter (talk) 19:39, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Salvaging 100 Rare "Lapis Silver ring" yielded 299 Research Notes and 2 Research Papers, totaling 311 Research notes. Sorter (talk) 19:39, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Salvaging 100 Masterwork "Topaz Silver ring" yielded 284 Research Notes and 8 Research Papers, totaling 324 Research notes. Sorter (talk) 19:39, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

Salvaging 100 "Cleric's Mithril Greatsword" yielded 195 Research Papers and 3 Research Notebooks, totaling 1050 Research Notes. User Rose Of Kali SIG.jpgRose Of Kali 15:56, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Salvaging another 100 "Cleric's Mithril Greatsword" yielded 198 Research Papers and 2 Research Notebooks, totaling 1040 Research Notes. (As a side note - it was much, MUCH cheaper to buy premade elder inscriptions on the TP vs crafting them yourself). User Rose Of Kali SIG.jpgRose Of Kali 15:56, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Salvaging another 50 "Cleric's Mithril Greatsword" yielded 93 Research Papers and 4 Research Notebooks, totaling 565 Research Notes. User Rose Of Kali SIG.jpgRose Of Kali 16:25, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Load time + query limit[edit]

So, this page takes a frick ton of time to load and apparently, as confirmed by User:DJemba, it is reaching the query limit (I am not 100% sure what that means but reaching it is probably not good). Not sure how to exactly fix it besides splitting it into a subpage or two. ~Sime 16:49, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Maybe just leave a link to the Repurposed Jade Servitor and the Guest Elder? Those two lists are massive. Just leave a quick summary, like "sells various crafting recipes, Jade Bot upgrades and other goods" or something like that. I can confirm that the load time on the page is awful.

Changes I have noticed[edit]

Salvaging ascended gear gives fewer research notes compared to what is stated on the page. Salvaging no longer gives an item to open to obtain the research notes. The only way to know how many research notes were received from an item is to note the before and after research note count. --Hesione (talk) 23:06, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Non-chef consumables[edit]

Just two cents: non-chef consumables are another inexpensive source of these notes. For example, 50 (10x5) Quality Maintenance Oil, rating 300, created by Huntsman from 40 Pile of Incandescent Dust (bought on trading post) and 150 Jug of Water (bought from any master huntsman) are salvaged to 50-55 Research Notes. Prices of dust may change and some other consumables may be even cheaper. --95.155.30.165 22:05, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Useful info. Thanks :) Honnaja 09:21, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
