Blue/Green salvage - Basic kit? Merch?
Any reason to use anything more than basic?
Also…
Is there any difference between salvaging a cheaper item than a more expensive one (in regards to Luck)?
Should the more expensive blue/green items (>1s) be merch’d instead of salvage?
I can only answer the first question. They stated that kit quality does not effect the essence of luck chance. So unless you wanted a chance at some minor runes, basic kit away.
I don’t think that item cost has anything to do with it, but some people have asked if item level does, but still no definitive answer.
I did one try with basic and just got materials no essence, I just bought master’s salvage kit for my items.
A dev has confirmed that for essence drops it doesnt matter which salvage kit you use. The chance to get an essence is the same regardless.
