Hollowcore Scepter notes

• The Legendary Scepter Temple has five special Pressure Pedestals, and this scepter belongs on one of them.
• When a projectile hits a wall or an enemy it shatters into 1 to 3 smaller shards that pierce enemies.
• Effects that add shattered projectiles increase that number.
• Its regular shot moves 8 tiles per second, and one that has not hit anything within 0.8 s simply vanishes.
• A hit curses susceptible enemies for 8 seconds, raising the damage they take from minions by 40%.
• Hitting the target again restarts the curse timer.

What you get from salvaging Hollowcore Scepter (Salvage and Repair Station)

Hollowcore Scepter can be salvaged. Salvaging it gives the following items.

• Scrap Parts×34
• Solarite Bar×6-10
• Ancient Gemstone×3-5

For each material, the amount is "amount used to craft × 0.49 (lower when durability is down, 0.3 at 0 durability) × the item's multiplier", and a fraction is the chance of one more (2.4 means 2, with a 40% chance of 3). The range is from 0 durability to full durability (items without durability always count as full). Scrap parts are a fixed number set by the item level. All items that can be salvaged are listed in salvaging.

* "Alien tech terminal (event)": provisional names. The in-game name has not been confirmed, so this site named the source after its internal name in the drop tables.

"Chance" is the chance to get at least one of this item per try (opening one chest, defeating one enemy, one catch). A "guaranteed group" is the group of a chest or boss from which exactly one item always drops; it does not mean this item always drops (the chance of it being picked from that group is shown in small text). Only items that always drop are marked "Guaranteed". Fishing means catches with a fishing rod, separate from enemy and boss drops. Calculated from the game's drop tables (Conf/Loot, 1.3.0.6) the same way the game rolls them.
