Looting the Grime-Encrusted Salvage will be the first step towards crafting Epic gear in the new World of Warcraft Season of Discover: Phase 2.
World of Warcraft’s (WoW’s) Season of Discovery: Phase 2 has finally arrived, and much like the first phase of this expansion, it offers you the chance to get your hands on brand-new recipes for all crafting professions.
If you want to take advantage of all the benefits that the new Epic gear has to offer, you will need to turn your attention to the new Grime-Encrusted Salvage item.
What is the Grime-Encrusted Salvage item?
The new Gnomeregan Raid is certainly one of the most exciting things to look forward to with the arrival of Season of Discovery: Phase 2.
But before you can get to this challenging 10-man raid, you will have to complete a rather lengthy quest chain, which starts with looting the Grime-Encrusted Salvage.
Finding the Grime-Encrusted Salvage item should be high on your priority list for this second phase.
Not only because it is part of the first of many quests that will lead you to the Gnomeregan Raid, but also because you can use it to get the very rare materials which will help you to craft Epic gear.
The Grime-Encrusted Salvage drops randomly from mobs and bosses (and can also be mined by killing trash mobs in front of and inside of Gnomeregan).
How to hand in the Grime-Encrusted Salvage item
Unfortunately, getting to the crafting of Epic gear is not as simple as it seems. Once you have picked up the Grime-Encrusted Salvage item, you need to head to The Clean Zone in Gnomeregan in order to find the The Salvagematic 9000 device.
When you have located the device, you will need to complete the Salvaging the Salvagematic quest to get it up and running again.
Then, you can finally hand in your Grime-Encrusted Salvage item, along with an additional 30 Silver, to receive a Box of Gnomeregan Salvage.
