Guild Wars 2

Quick question – I have a …. lot …. of BLSK accrued from dailies/chests. I can’t expect people to reveal the best use (but whoever is willing to, great!), but I’m looking for a price per use that is regularly guarenteed. I’m currently looking at something that is ~1g profit + ectos per use, which sounds pretty good to me, but I don’t know if that is actually a waste – especially since I don’t really understand what actually gives inscriptions/insignias.

Thanks!

Inscriptions/Insignias can be salvaged from armor and weapons. The more valuable ones that people make a profit on are from exotic weapons/armor that cannot be crafted, only dropped, such as Dire for example.

And this is good route to go assuming you do your research on what weapons/armor to buy.

I see, but surely, for the most part, won’t these items be the cost of the insignia/inscription that they salvage into. I do remember cashing in about 10k SE tokens for Soldier inscription chances when they were first available, but I never understood where else they were available from.

You would certainly be at a loss if your only results were the insignia. But odds are you’ll also get some ectos. And don’t forget that by doing this you are playing the odds.

as Schizo said.
to clarify: some exotics are very worth it to salvage for inscription/insignia. others, not so much. Dire and Shaman are the most common. lots of named exotics as well. If you’re interested in a full list, PM me.

Try items with expensive sigils. Items with superior sigils of fire gave me some coins in the past. I think one of the items that has it is an axe called Faithful. There are many others of course, but I’m sure that sigils are the way to go. You just have to see which ones are the most profitable at which moment.

Find exotic items that have expensive sigils or runes that sell for more than the item itself. Buy the item, sell the rune for a profit, collect the ectoplasm as additional profit.

Bonus if you can find items with an inscription or insignia that you have a chance of salvaging too.

Have any of you ever had a moment where you finally realized that you have played a game for too long?

When I saw the title of this topic, my brain automatically assumes BLSK stood for the Barbed Leather Sewing Kit from UO.

No one asked what the hell a BLSK is?

Black lion salvage kit. It’s a very common abbreviation.

Thanks for replies, seems like Im on the right path.
