Salvaging Mastery is a Field Skill in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Overview

When Rex goes Salvaging, this field skill has a chance to activate for each Blade equipped with the party with this skill.

Salvaging Mastery increases the appearance rate of treasure and collectibles by 5% per level. It also reduces the appearance rate of enemies by 2% per level. This value is uncapped; the player is limited only by the number of Blades with Salvaging Mastery which can be equipped at once. A maximum of 36 levels is possible (3 Blades with level 3 Salvaging Mastery on each of four Drivers), but 20 levels is sufficient to always guarantee three treasure troves and the maximum number of collectibles.
