Does anyone know which weapons can be salvaged for Orichalcum Imbued Inscriptions?

I know from experience that some named exotic weapons do not give inscriptions. For example, I tried salvaging a few Ugly Sticks without result. Now I found Droknar’s Forgehammer (Shaman stats) and I wonder if I should salvage it or not.

I know this table gives a good overview of which type of stats yield inscriptions. But it doesn’t tell us much about which named weapons can be salvaged for inscriptions.

Anyone know more about it?

I think I’ve only gotten runes and and sigils from exotics, as well as mats. Or you sure you get these from salvaging? I thought they were crafted only, after buying the recipe.

Yes it’s possible I did this a lot a few months ago. It’s cheaper to use dungeon weapons though.

Certain ori imbued inscriptions can only be obtained by salvaging non-crafted exotics. The ones on the table that are shaped like an upside down orange tear are salvage only. The ones that look like a block of wood are crafted only. Ii don’t know what the answer is for named exotics, however.

You are nearly correct, with 2 exceptions:

The Settlers and Assassins Inscriptions are both tear shaped but arent aquired via salvaging. The Settlers Recipe drops from the karka queen and Assassins is the old Travelers recipe. But as both inscriptions got introduced in the same patch (ascended weapon crafting) as the other new inscriptions, they also got the new icon.

The 6 Salvageable Inscriptions are:

Soldier
Dire
Shaman
Rabid
Magi
Cavalier

Any non crafted Exotic weapon with either of those stat combinations has a chance to drop the related inscription upon salvage.

Keep in mind though, that the weapon needs to be salvageable, so no wvw weapons or karma weapons, cant be a crafted weapon and a master/mystic salvage kit only gives you a 25% chance to receive and inscription, a bl salvage kit gives you a 50% chance.
