"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.

How to get Cytoplasm (salvaging): 7 items give it

Salvaging any of these items at the Salvage and Repair Station gives Cytoplasm (gear is listed from the lowest level). Salvaging gear or tools you no longer need returns part of their materials.

Amounts are calculated from the game data (materials, durability and level in the 1.3.0.6 prefabs) the same way the game's salvaging works; the range is from 0 to full durability. All items that can be salvaged are listed in salvaging.
