Guild Wars 2

Hi,

i´ve been away from playing GW2 in a while but i returned and now i want to know whats going on.

1.Right now i salvage every “white” and “blue” item i find for crafting materials. I sell some of the “green” and “golden” ones if i get enough gold at the trading post (like 3 silver for greens and 25 silver for goldens)
Is that ok? Or should i rather salvage everything? And why?

2.Further i sell all dyes i find unidentified for like 30 silver. Why do people pay so much for unidentified dyes?

1) Anything that offers a guarenteed profit to salvage is probably negated by a higher TP cost, as people will risk a loss buying an item hoping to profit off RNG, even at low-level salvaging. Personally, I salvage all greens/blues of cloth, metal and wood worth <2s, and sell all leather and items more expensive to either vendor or TP.

2) As the layman money making method increases effectiveness, so does the cost of the little luxuries like this. Dye prices are increasing with the unids, so people like to gamble on identifying one of the expensive ones, like Abyss or Celestial.

Salvage green/blue texted items for Luck Essences (and space). If you max out (300% Magic Find) then possibly sell them on TP.
Salvage whites for space. Not worth selling.

Rares and Exotics should be questionable. Depends if you need quick cash or ectos.

Any White, Blue, or Green item that is selling for more than 2s is worth selling on the TP, otherwise salvage it and use/sell the materials. This applies for all level of items.

For high level (anything above 70) Yellow items, check the current price of a Glob of Ectoplasm. If the Yellow item sells for as much or more than the Glob then it is OK to sell. If the Yellow items sells for less than the Glob, Salvage it with a Master or better Salvage Kit.

Orange items usually sell for more than their salvaged parts will, but there are exceptions.

the one exception is light armor. especially level 16-80 (sell on TP if it’s for 4s or higher). especially if level 51-60 (sell on TP if it’s for 13s or higher). especially if it’s a coat (16-80 = 6s or higher, 51-60 = 20s or higher). Linen is just so yummy.
