When I try to salvage a faction wreck from complexes, I get a message that basically says my salvage skill isn't high enough.

My question is, can someone tell me what level salvage I need for these wrecks?

I would think level IV is enough, and also level IV should be common if you salvage *a lot*.
If that won't do it, then you will just have to commit to lvl V and T2 salvager.

I don't know the factual answer to your question, but that's how I would aproach the solution.

If I remember correctly most faction wrecks need IV, some larger ones might need V but otherwise I think it's mainly sleepers that need V.

IV is enough to salvage anything.

EDIT: Salvage rigs may be required for officer wrecks.

Elites usually have T2 salvage and that needs level 3+. I forget the exact error message, but when I googled it, the replies were that I needed 3+ for that type of wreck.

Salvage rigs can also help a lot.

Access Difficulty Base T1 frig wreck has an Access Difficulty Base of +30%. T1 cruiser wreck has an Access Difficulty Base of +20%. T1 BS wreck has an Access Difficulty Base of +10%. Elite Wreck (all T2 ships) has an Access Difficulty Base of -10%. Advanced wreck (sleeper or T3 ship) has an Access Difficulty Base of -20%.

Access Difficulty Bonus Salvaging Level II, III, IV, V with "Salvager I" module gives +10, +15, +20, +25% (respectively) bonus. Salvager II module = 7% per level (requires salvaging Level V skill to equip) = +35% Small/Medium/Large Salvage Tackle I rig = +10% Small/Medium/Large Salvage Tackle II rig = +15% Hardwiring - Poteque Pharmaceuticals 'Prospector' PPY-1 implant = +5%

EXAMPLE Using ship with 400 calibration points as an example, you can attain the following Access Difficulty Bonus with full gear and skills: Salvager II (module)* Salvaging Level V(skill) + Small Salvage Tackle II (rig) * 3 + PPY-1 (Implant) (7% * 5) + (15% * 3) + 5% = 85% Which on sleeper wreck would give 65% chance to salvage in each cycle, +85%-20%=65%. So all equipment, skills and implants do is raise chance to get salvage in each cycle. What will you get from wreck has nothing to do with your skills because as GMs said long time ago, salvage is defined moment the wreck is created.

With Skill 5 and T2 Salvagers, the base salvage change is 35%. I think it's worth giving 35% a try before spending lots of resources and opportunity cost on rigging ships.

That said, if it's just a Noctis, you might as well rig it for salvaging right away, so that you salvage faster, because that's what a Noctis is for: To salvage, and to loot.

Confirming here I have salvaged an officer wreck (Tobias') with salvaging 4. He dropped around 400mill in t2 salvage, but it took a really really long time.
