Guild Wars 2

So do we get T6 dust from ectos and an Essence of Luck or dust and a chance for Essence of Luck or either dust or Essence of Luck? Patch notes are vague on the subject.

try it and let me know!
also, how much of each?

:p

I know! Let’s get Mikey.

Okay #forscience

250 ectos:

460 dusts

27’660 luck

wait, 27660 luck? as in 27 thousand, 6 hundred and 60 luck? how much gives you +1% mf?

Yes.

It depends on your current mf level, right now I’m at 85% and need 2400/lvl

So salvaging Ectos gives you Crystalline Dust AND Essences? Not one or the other? That’s good to know. I still don’t foresee myself salvaging Ectos until I’m done with crafting, but it’s nice that they didn’t throw a wrench in the ecto supply chain.

The first 100 ecto I salavaged gave 10,560 luck and 155 dust. The second 100 ecto I salvaged gave 10,340 luck and 145 dust. That first 10,560 luck got me to something like 54% magic find, the next 10,340 only got me to 65%, so it slows down quickly. Currently at 65%, every time you get 1% more magic find, the amount of luck required to increase by 1% goes up by 40 (if I recall properly, not at a computer where I can test it, it could be 50 though). E.g. If it cost me 1000 luck to go from 64 to 65, it will cost 1040 to go from 65 to 66.

Looks like someone used basic/crude salvage kit, or Salvage-o-Matic…

I didn’t find any difference between the two after using both.

The devs have said that quality of salvage kit will make no difference in extracting EoL.

Indeed it does not. And that has nothing to do with my point.

While it doesn’t affect EoL drops, it does affect Crystalline Dust drops.

Ding. We’ve winner-

So salvage Rares/Ectos with Master/Mystic Kit or better. Got it.

Saving my BLSK’s only for Exotics now with the Dark Matter introduction.
