This method offers a guaranteed way to receive Parts NFTs by using Dark Matter NFTs and paying a MARTIA cost. ### How Salvaging Works Players can access the salvaging feature through the in-game user interface. To salvage a Part, players need to burn a Dark Matter NFT and pay the specified MARTIA cost. Once these conditions are met, players will receive a Part NFT in return. The process ensures a 100% chance of receiving a Part, making it a reliable method for gathering crafting materials. ### Reverse Ownership Card Crafting Recipe The salvaging process follows a reverse crafting recipe, meaning the Parts obtained are based on the components used to craft the Ownership/Sponsorship Card of the same item type. For example: **Example** If Item #1's Ownership Cards is crafted using: * 5x Part A * 5x Part B * 10x Part C * Total: 20 Parts When a Dark Matter NFT for Item #1 is salvaged, it gives one Part with the following odds: * Part A: 5/20 = 25% * Part B: 5/20 = 25% * Part C: 10/20 = 50% Salvaging Costs 200,000 $MARTIA in addition to the Dark Matter Card that will be burnt. Salvaging is an essential feature for players aiming to maximize their crafting efficiency and resource management. By burning Dark Matter NFTs and paying a MARTIA cost, players can reliably acquire Parts NFTs, ensuring they always have the necessary materials to craft the best items in the game. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
