Is it cheaper to buy Master’s Salvage Kit, or craft Mystic Salvage Kit?

I calculated below a single use of the mystic salvage kit (at current gem rates) to be :
2.01896 silver (per use)

Are my calculations correct? is it pointless crafting these? (compared to using the Master’s Salvage Kit from vendor, at 0.6144 silver per use)

Materials List:
Fine Salvage Kit – 2.88s
Journeyman’s Salvage Kit – 8s
Master’s Salvage Kit – 15.36s

3 stones, but can only buy in bulk of 5 for 250 x Gems
Gems x100 = 319 silver ÷2x3 = 478.5 silver (4 gold 78 silver, 5 copper, for the 3 stones)

Calculation Breakdown:
FSK + JSK + MSK + Gems in Gold = 504.74 silver, ÷ 250 charges = 2.01896 silver

Progress blocking bugs are top priority, but not all bugs are so easy to fix as others, be cool :)

You are correct in your calculations how ever now we get mystic forge stones for free from the achievement chests which would make mystic kits a lot cheaper.

If you have leftover mystic stones, go for the mystic, because you can’t sell them back or anything. I wouldn’t buy mystic stones for that purpose though.

Given these figures, it calculates also that a mystic forge stones values around 1.5gold, so using as a wildcard for exotics in the mystic forge is NOT a good value for money, since some exotic weapons or armor (as stones are a wildcard) cost far less than 1.5gold.

So the most economical use for the mystic forge stones (free ones) is using for the salvage kits, as the vendor bought equivalent would be 6x more expensive per use.

As mentioned above, the answer to your question is if you have 3 unused Mystic Forge Stones.? If you have to buy the stones for the Mystic Kit, it’s more economical to use the Master Kit.

^ Basically this. I only wish I hadn’t stocked up on Mystic Forge Stones back when they were on sale. I now have enough to probably last me for the rest of my GW2 lifetime. XD

Eh, some incorrect math from Vashoom.

Value of MFS:
((10x Master) – Master – Jorneyman – Fine)/3 →
((10*1536)-1536-800-288)/3 = 42s45c

So I’d use those MFS in mystic toilet RNG since it’s hard to buy lv 76-80 exos for 42s45c.

So, since you’ve free MFS it’s ok idea to make mystic salvage kits (for convenience) but if you had to buy MFS, go master. If you play rng with toilet, go master as well.

OooOOoohh, box of shinies. So many shinies!
Outsource rng → profit.
