Hello I have one character that is lvl 36 and is now getting Dwarven metal gear.
My other character is a lvl 23 blacksmith that would like to decon those items and get mats plus XP.
I heard that your character level must be within 5 levels of the item level to get mats.

So does that mean my BS needs to be lvl 31 to decon Dwarven metal gear and get mats?
And will the next level be 36 for the next higher mats?

Thanks!

    Not true. A leveled Blacksmith can decon anything. My level 34 gets Voidsteel all the time. I may be selling 200 stacks soon.

    Oh ok, so there is no minimum character level needed to decon mats?

    My BS is character level 23, BS level 39 with 4 in metal working.

    That will be sufficient to decon dwarven metal?

    Im not ingame so not sure if lvl4 is enough but If you can make it then you can decon it.

    Right. In my experience, to get back the material you need to have unlocked the passive for that tier - that is, you have to be able to craft with that material. Though you can still get tempering or style materials from deconing something above your craft-passive level.

    You can decon anything with any character - if you don't have the passives, then you will get less, and usually nothing, but every once in a while you will get an ingot or two.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis
