[[Salvaging]] is breaking down equipment into [[materials]]. All {{magic|magic}}, {{rare|rare}}, {{set|set}}, and {{legendary|legendary}} items can be salvaged, but not <span style="color:white">superior</span>, <span style="color:white">normal</span>, or <span style="color:#909090">inferior</span> items. Every item is associated with one of the four difficulty levels, based on its item level, and yields materials based on that and its rarity.
The Blacksmith does this for free and he requires no training to do so.
==Training==
The Blacksmith can be trained up through 10 levels of proficiency. As he increases in skill he gains new titles and access to higher level plans to craft better itmes items for your charactercharacters.
Training the Blacksmith is not free; each level requires progressively more [[materials]] and gold.
==Crafting==
The Blacksmith is able to craft weapons and armour as long as you have the correct materials and enough gold. He needs to be trained to learn new recipes plans and the higher level he is the better equipment he can create.
==Appearance and Upgrades==
Haedrig's wagon and general shop appearance changes, growing more shiny and impressive, as he is leveled up. Each of the Artisans in Diablo III has 10 levels to upgrade through.

[[File:Haedrig.png|right|thumb|Haedrig's quest.]]
Haedrig was a young husband and father in [[New Tristram]], when the fiery [[Meteor]] crashed down through the [[Monastery]]. In the chaos and demonic uprising that followed, his wife and child were slain, then returned to half-life as hideous [[zombie]]s. Brokenhearted over their undead fate, Haedrig beseeches the hero to find them and destroy them, putting their souls to rest. This will be done at the beginning of [[A Shattered Crown]] quest.
Once the deed is done, Haedrig agrees to use his blacksmithing skills to assist your hero in the battle against evil. Like the other important NPCs, Haedrig travels with the [[caravan]] throughout the entire game, and is present in town in each act.

==Development History==
During development, many of his talents were redistributed.
* Haedrig initially [[socket]]ed items. That talent was subsequently moved to the [[jeweler]], before being removed from the game entirely.
* Haedrig initially made all [[repair]]s. That talent was taken from him and distributed to the other NPC merchants. A Repairs tab was returned to Haedrig in [[Patch 1.0.4]].
* Haedrig was formerly the source of the [[Nephalem Cube]] (used to Salvage items) as a quest reward. That object was removed from the game in the big interface revisions of [[Beta Patch 10]].
