One of the big draws in action MMORPGs is the endless loot, but there’s only so much you can carry. An auto salvage system can really help, but does one exist in Diablo 4?
A working auto salvage system will automatically turn low-tier gear that is guaranteed to be worthless to players at a certain level into something useful, such as cash or crafting mats. As this has been a feature in the genre for some time, I’d say it is to be expected in Diable 4.
Is there Auto Salvage in Diablo 4?
The fact is that Blizzard has introduced an auto salvage system in Diablo 4. However, whether it is working as intended is up for debate within the player base. According to the official patch notes for 1.2.0 Build #46228, released on October 17, 2023:
The following loot adjustments have been implemented per World Tier.
- World Tiers I and II: Unchanged.
- World Tier III: Only Legendary, Unique, Uber Unique, and Sacred Rare items will drop. Players will instead receive additional crafting resources.
- World Tier IV: Only Legendary, Unique, Uber Unique, and Ancestral Rares. Players will instead receive additional crafting resources.
- Gold drop rates have also been increased in World Tiers III and IV to balance out these changes.
However, some players claim the system is not currently working as intended, saying they’re still getting drops in loot tiers they shouldn’t. If this is true, we can only hope it gets tweaked in a further patch update soon.
Players should also note this is an automatic feature and not something you need to turn on in options. In the unlikely event that you’d want to turn this feature off, unfortunately, that is not an option.
