Guild Wars 2

Through gear boxes and general bank use, I’d saved up a lot of masterwork items for later salvaging by doing invasions. 1,111 masterwork items as it happens. Here’s what I got when I salvaged them:

Essence of luck:

Fine: 1,300
Masterwork: 345
Rare: 23
Exotic: 14

Those were all just from Masterwork items, levels 76-80.

I also opened 557 Deluxe Gear Box (the exotic quality ones), post patch, and besides ordinary mats, got:

Piles of Bloodstone Dust: 5,277
Cores/Lodestones: 51
Rares: 21
Exotics: 7
Scroll of Knowledge: 94

Not sure if those numbers will be useful to anyone, but I thought I’d take the chance to get us some rough stats on drop chances while I had huge stacks to work with.

Also – the confirmation message when salvaging masterwork gear is gone with this patch. Just in time!

Nice! So what is your % MF now?

I’ve opened ~1000 of the champ boxes pre patch and have only had about 7 rares and no exotics drop!

You have done well my friend!

Well, all those lucks listed above took my MF from a starting value of +2% up to +71%. Then finally to +72% when I ate my complimentary 5 legendary essences of luck.

Yeah I felt like I got pretty lucky with the exotics/rares from those boxes. Thanks!

Did you use the essences of luck as you got them, or only after you finished all your salvaging?

Im with 70%, I think I’ve open something about 900+

I used the essences of luck all at once, after I’d finished salvaging everything. Started with the fines, then masterworks, etc. You need more and more luck for every +1% of course, so it slows down a lot. +300% will take quite a while.
