Scavenging Farming

Introduction

Scavenging is an perk which provides players a chance to get uncommon or rare components as a drop, whenever they kill an NPC.

⬥ Each rank provides a 1% chance per rank for uncommon components to drop from a kill, with a 1% chance that they will be rare components instead.
