At first I thought Scavenging was going to be like Herbalism, but I quickly found that I could rummage around dead corpses for additional loot beyond the basic set of items that an enemy drops. The mechanics is much like skinning is in World of Warcraft, except that you don't just get leather pieces for your effort. I even got a blue item off a player's corpse later in the night, which is used for crafting talismans, so it appears to be worth it.

In fact, the blue item I got from Scavenging wasn't the only blue item I got this night. After screwing around with trade skills for 30 minutes and deciding that it wasn't worth my time in beta, I took off towards the RvR area. Order controlled all three capture points so now was my chance to get a few of the quests in the area done. The other night, Destruction was everywhere, and my efforts were always greeted with a ten-man pile on. It was good to see that even though the Order is the underdog on this server, we could still take some objectives.
