Synopsis:
Salvaging is a priceless skill for many races and cities in Mizahar where dangerous trade routes and treacherous roads can easily lead to disaster . This skill consists of the ability to find, rescue, and/or recover damaged or lost items such as ships, caravans, or cargo. Possessing the skill to salvage also involves the ability to repair or re-purpose these items.

There are many skills relating to salvaging, though no prerequisites exist.

These are TWO different skills. Please treat them as such.

scav·enge
ˈskavənj/
verb
gerund or present participle: scavenging

search for and collect (anything usable) from discarded waste.
"people sell junk scavenged from the garbage"
synonyms: forage, rummage, search, hunt, look, root around/about, grub around/about
"they scavenge for food in the restaurant's trash cans"

Mizahar does not have a lot of TRASH laying around. Resources that are scarce, such as metals, are all SAVED and reused by returning them to blacksmiths for money for example. Almost any metalsmith would pay by the pound for metal to reuse. People just don't throw shit away like they do in the society we currently live in.

sal·vage
ˈsalvij/
verb
gerund or present participle: salvaging

rescue (a wrecked or disabled ship or its cargo) from loss at sea.
"an emerald and gold cross was salvaged from the wreck"
synonyms: rescue, save, recover, retrieve, raise, reclaim
"an attempt to salvage the vessel"
retrieve or preserve (something) from potential loss or adverse circumstances.
"it was the only crumb of comfort he could salvage from the ordeal"
synonyms: retain, preserve, conserve

It is very possible there are groups of people - say Konti - who specialize in salvaging shipwrecks or other cargo lost. A climbing race or a strong race might specialize in saving cargo that's gone over cliffs on precarious roads. This would be a vastly different skillset than scavenging would be.
