Guild Wars 2

I have read many speculation about ecto drop rate nerf something.

But I felt that lower level items have less ecto drop rate. wiki said 68+ rare/exotics have chance drop 0 – 3 / 0 – 5 ecto drop rate.

Other posts said mystic salvage kit has 88.65% ecto salvage rate.

But, I feel like 70 lvl rares have 25% salvage rate and 80 lvl rare has 90% salvage rate.

Hope, rich players have many rares to test my assumption.

I’ve been using master’s kits since launch and over the course of last week switched to plan salvage kits. I’ve noticed no difference in drop rate. I’ve concluded an ecto is neither a rare material or an item upgrade.

Item upgrades, which is the larger percent of the kit is the sigil, rune, or gem on the item. The rarer material is the difference between getting a mithril or orichalcum ore. From what I noticed ectos just seem to be a product of salvaging.
