Salvaging works the same at all blacksmiths, so there’s no real reason to use any smith over the others.
As soon as you interact with a blacksmith, you should be in the “Salvage” menu. You can see this on the left side of the screen on the blacksmith’s menu.
You have a few options here. The blacksmith can automatically salvage items by rarity, which is self-explanatory. Just pick a rarity you want to get rid of and all items fitting the criteria will be salvaged.
This also allows you to dismantle and salvage all items you’ve previously set as junk. Just click on the “All Junk” button.
Alternatively, you can manually choose which items to salvage. To do so, just choose them from your inventory on the right side of the screen.
