All wrecks have a base access ~~percentage~~, which is likelihood (for each cycle of your salvaging module) that you will successfully salvage the wreck.

All wrecks have a base access chance, which is likelihood (for each cycle of your salvaging module) that you will successfully salvage the wreck.

*Small basic wrecks (Frigates and Destroyers) have a base access of 30%

*Small basic wrecks (Frigates and Destroyers) have a base access chance of 30%

*Medium basic wrecks (Cruisers and Battlecruisers) have a base access of 20%

*Medium basic wrecks (Cruisers and Battlecruisers) have a base access chance of 20%

*Large basic wrecks (Battleships) have a base access of 10%

*Large basic wrecks (Battleships) have a base access chance of 10%

*Small advanced wrecks (Wormhole NPCs, Faction or officer NPCs, or T2 player ships) have a base access of 0%

*Small advanced wrecks (Wormhole NPCs, Faction or officer NPCs, or T2 player ships) have a base access chance of 0%

*A Sleeper Large Advanced Wreck has ~~an Access Difficulty Base~~ of -20%.

*A Sleeper Large Advanced Wreck has a base access chance of -20%.

~~Base access~~ can be modified by salvaging skill level, and using rigs, implants, and tech II salvaging modules.

Access chance can be modified by salvaging skill level, and using rigs, implants, and tech II salvaging modules.

Each level of the {{sk|Salvaging|icon=yes}} skill with a Salvager I module improves your access chance by 5% per level (up to +25% at level V). Once you have trained {{sk|Salvaging|V}}, you can use the Salvager II module, which improves your base access by 7% per level (up to +35% at level V).

Note that the chance to salvage is not affected by [[stacking penalties]]. Also, improving your chance to salvage does ''not'' give you better salvage; it merely reduces the number of cycles it takes you to salvage a wreck (or, in the case of very difficult wrecks, allows you to salvage them at all).

{{example|1=A beginner salvaging pilot trains {{sk|Salvaging|I}}, fits her ship with a single Salvager, and tries to salvage a small basic wreck. ~~Her Salvager I module~~ and her skills give her a 30% + (1 * 5%) = 35% ~~chance to salvage the wreck on each cycle of her salvager module (10 seconds); therefore, on~~ average, it will take 3 cycles (30 seconds) to salvage the wreck.<ref>For details on the math, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value expected value] on Wikipedia</ref>.

{{example|1=A beginner salvaging pilot trains {{sk|Salvaging|I}}, fits her ship with a single Salvager, and tries to salvage a small basic wreck. The base chance to salvage a small basic wreck is 30%, and her skills and module give her a bonus of 1 * 5% = 5%; therefore, chance to salvage the wreck on each cycle of her salvager module (10 seconds) is 30% + (1 * 5%) = 35%. On average, it will therefore take 3 cycles (30 seconds) to salvage the wreck.<ref>For details on the math, see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value expected value] on Wikipedia</ref>.

Buoyed by her initial success, the pilot heads to more remote areas of space, and encounters large basic wrecks. Her chance to salvage these is 10% + (1 * 5%) = 15%; therefore, on average, it will take 7 cycles (1 minute and 10 seconds) to salvage each wreck. Heading deeper into space, she encounters small advanced wrecks (chance to salvage 0% + (1 * 5%) = 5%, taking 15 cycles (2.5 minutes) on average) and even some sleeper large advanced wrecks (chance to salvage -20% + (1 * 5%) = -5%; she will not be able to salvage these wrecks).

~~She thinks this is taking far too long~~, trains up her Salvaging skill to level V, and installs a Salvager II module. With this setup, her chance to salvage a large basic wreck is 10% + (5 * 7%) = 45%; on average, it will take her 2 cycles (20 seconds) to salvage. Even a sleeper large advanced wreck succumbs to her salvaging powers, within 7 cycles on average.}}

Determined to increase her salvaging efficiency, she trains up her Salvaging skill to level V, and installs a Salvager II module. With this setup, her chance to salvage a large basic wreck is 10% + (5 * 7%) = 45%; on average, it will take her 2 cycles (20 seconds) to salvage.
