Guild Wars 2

Does anyone know how i can maximize my profit using these? Current have around 3 kit laying around and trying to get rid of them.

I remember seeing a thread somewhere recently about buying a certain item on the TP, salvage it and the Rune would sell more than the purchased item, + etcos… with a black lion salvage kit…

I would tell you how but I’m making a lot (relatively speaking for someone who doesn’t speed run) money this way.

Well, alright. Buy any level 68-80 rare or exotic heavy armor or metallic weapon (swords, greatswords) for as little gold as possible and salvage them. You should end up with a pile of rune/sigils, metal (mostly mithril) and ectos. Sell them by whatever strategy you prefer. I’m avoiding light and medium armors and most weapons because metal pays better than cloth, leather or wood.

Realize you will likely haul in around 7-8g, after TP fees, note NOT profit. Profit depends on how much you spent on the items you are salvaging which is likely around 5g unless if you are not putting in low price bids and waiting for them to be filled or find them in the wild.

Also remember salvaging is RNG based, you could get either lucky or unlucky and end up with a lot more or less high price salvage to sell.

Oh don’t forget, only buy items with sigils or runes. They help with the profit since ectos are hovering is the 22-23s range. An extra 3-5s per can mean the difference between profit and loss.

The cost of this kit can’t be justified if you use it for this purpose. It just can’t. If you bought the gems with real money, you might as well convert them to gold, you’d probably get more in return, if that’s your aim. If you received the kit as a reward, and you don’t have many, save them for if you need to extract a superior rune of divinity or something.

I have a bunch of BL kits that I got from rewards so I didn’t put any money into them. I’ve been doing the level 1-15 zone boss events once a day (the four of them with timers, dunno why Ashford doesn’t, I guess that one’s triggered, not timed?) because they take about 5 min and you’re guaranteed a rare for your trouble and usually get one or two more from the boss chest.

The rares generally sell on the TP for 20-30s but if I break them with the kit I get a sigil, materials and an average of around 2 ectos each. So that’s like 50-60s or double the money from selling the rares outright. Note that I didn’t SPEND any money to do this, just time and some kits I have lying around.

I don’t spend all day at it, and just do the event once for the bonus chest, but I’ve made several gold each day that I’ve done this. Not keeping track because farming and efficiency don’t matter to me, but I’m working on levelling alts and this helps gear them up as they reach higher levels, as well as buying crafting mats for easy xp.

I only use BLK’s on Exotics that have runes/sigils worth a similar amount to the item itself. Anything else is a waste.

Yeah right now anything below exotic is a bet, even so a pretty steep one.

Well yes the difference between master and BLK with rares isn’t a lot as talked about previously except if you simply don’t have the space because you aren’t using the free ones that are dropped on you, and you don’t have a ready supply of valuable sigil/rune exotics, which I would say for most players no, then they it’s pointless to save all of them.

I’m like the OP. I had a 6th free one in inventory dropped on me a night or two ago and didn’t have the space anymore I would spare to save it so I used it for my nightly cracking of the rares. Yes, I got more ectos and oris than I usually get so it was more profitable than using a master kit (also cheaper since it was free) so I probably made an extra gold or two with it.

Yes I’m using the “good china and silver” for a peanut butter sandwich but it’s not doing me any good just hording them for a rainy day that never comes.

Trolls will be trolls. Why would you even care about making money with 3 Black Lion Salvage Kits when you already have…..8448g in your inventory?
