In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, junk items return. This time, however, some junk items can be dismantled into useful crafting components. As junk items have weight, it is better to either sell or dismantle them when available.
Note that certain quest items, once they are no longer needed, will be put in the junk tab and can then be dismantled or sold off like regular items.
Also note that the price of dismantling items is directly related to the price at which a craftsman buys and sells items. Craftsmen in Novigrad tend to offer better prices for your gear, but also charge more for dismantling items, in comparison to craftsmen in Velen. For instance a wooden ladle costs 1 crown to dismantle at the armorer in Crow's Perch, and 2 crowns to dismantle in Novigrad, whilst both times yielding 1 timber. Furthermore, the amount of crafting components received from an item depends on the skill level of the craftsman. This was tested with the amateur blacksmith in Blackbough and Yoana, the master-armorer in Crow's Perch. Both charge the same price for their services. For some items both craftsmen yield the same amount of crafting components, while for other items the difference is rather large. For example a candelabrum yields 1 iron ingot regardless of which craftsman was used, whereas an old goat hide yields 1 leather scrap at the amateur blacksmith and 3 leather scraps at the master-armorer. Since Yoana is the cheapest master-level craftsman in the game, it is recommended for penny-pinching to do all your dismantling with her.
The list below indicates the minimum of crafting components received as if dismantled at an amateur-level craftsman.
