0 Value items give no mats back for deconstruction, and just a small amount of Exp compared to normal items. They are almost not worth looting.

If you want the most from your Decon, then you need the Passives skill Extraction. In fact, with Extraction, you can get back most of the traits and racials from things you make, which you usually don't get when deconstructing the things you make. You can also get a ton more mats from Refinement, like 7 to 10 Ingots or boards per stack of 10 Raw.

The skills that make things easier to see are hit or miss. For Alchemy and Clothing, they are almost necessary, unless you want to turn off the grass. For Enchanting, they glow already, just look for them at night. Ores are easy to find once you know what and where to look (near rocks and cliffs)

PS I have a ton of ingots, cloth, leather and boards. If you want to buy any, send me a message in game.

Thanks, you've both been very helpful.

Hi, I have a few questions about deconstruction, and crafting in general. First of all, does deconstruction of an item that has no value still give resources? Sometimes I notice I get nothing for deconstruction, is there a way to avoid that? Should I still deconstruct ornate items, or should I sell them to vendors? Also I was wondering, does crafting a particular item give xp at any level, or will you stop getting xp from it when you level up to high? Also are the skills that make resources more noticeable worth getting?

Thanks in advanced for any help you can give me.

Do something like this: loot almost everything, deconstruct green or better items, jewelry sell to NPC vendors and you will do just fine.....oh, and hint about Enchanting.....make your on glyphs and trade them with others, then deconstruct them, you will get more EXP
