Use the town crafting interface to process unwanted drops only when its displayed recipe identifies the resource you need.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Inventory after Anomaly runs and the Transmuter in town.
Anomaly runs can leave you with equipment that does not fit your build, but the available facts do not establish a universal gear-to-material salvage conversion or a fixed yield. Treat this as a recipe-led cleanup routine: inspect each item, protect anything with a Legendary power worth preserving, and use only a Transmuter recipe that explicitly accepts the item and shows a useful output. Dungeon Anomaly boss rewards also provide special crafting materials, so keep that repeatable source in mind when gear processing is not the right route. The goal is to collect and use a displayed output, not to assume every unwanted item can be turned into any material.
Know which crafting resource or recipe output you need.
After a run, review new equipment before discarding or processing it.
Keep gear you may equip and identify items with Legendary powers worth preserving.
Open the Transmuter and inspect the available recipes that accept your remaining items.
Confirm the displayed inputs and output match the resource or crafting purpose you want.
Complete only the recipe you intend to use, then collect its shown output.
Check your resource stock and keep any remaining gear that may fit another recipe.
For special Anomaly crafting materials, run a Dungeon Anomaly, defeat its boss, and claim the reward chest.
Farming tips
Use the recipe display as the check for accepted inputs and outputs; do not infer a salvage yield from an item’s rarity.
If the goal is a Runestone power, preserve the item and follow the Rune extraction process instead of processing it as ordinary unwanted gear.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat after runs as long as you have eligible items and a displayed recipe worth using. The amount and type of output depend on the recipe; no universal salvage yield is established.
Common mistakes
Processing an item before checking its Legendary power; review it first and preserve useful powers.
Expecting every item to convert into a chosen material; use only outputs shown by the Transmuter.
Confusing Dungeon Anomaly materials with gear processing; claim those from the boss reward chest.
When to stop or switch
Stop processing when you have the resource you need or no remaining item matches a useful displayed recipe.
