[PoE2] Salvage Bench missing in Caravan + Stash migration issue (SSF → Standard)

Description:
I have encountered two major issues in Path of Exile 2 (PC / Steam):

Salvage Bench missing – After progressing in the campaign, the Salvage Bench does not appear in the Caravan hub. The “Salvage Bench” text is not visible and I cannot interact with it.

Stash migration issue – After migrating my SSF character to Standard, all my stash loot disappeared. No “remove-only” tabs appeared in Standard, and I lost all the items I had been grinding.

Steps to reproduce:

Played in SSF league with character.

Migrated to Standard league.

Logged in → stash tabs empty, no remove-only tabs.

Caravan hub has no Salvage Bench (no text, not interactable).

Expected result:

Salvage Bench should appear and be usable in Caravan after completing Finding the Forge quest.

Migrated stash tabs from SSF should appear as “remove-only” in Standard.

Actual result:

Salvage Bench is completely missing.

All SSF stash loot is gone, not visible in Standard stash.

Additional info:

Character: SPINFINITY

League: SSF → migrated to Standard

Platform: PC / Steam

Steps tried: relog, restart client – issue persists.

Looks like I messed up and only selected “Migrate Character”, so my stash didn’t come with me. I thought it was a bug at first, but that explains it.

As for the Salvage Bench, I figured it out – I just had to go back in Act 1 and pick up Renly’s tools again. After that the bench appeared in the Caravan as expected.
