Guild Wars 2

What is a perfect salvage kit?
- A perfect salvage kit is a salvage kit used to remove upgrades from armor and weapons without breaking the armor or weapon into crafting materials.

They were available in gw1, I don’t see a reason why they shouldn’t exist in gw2, and I have already thought of methods of getting a hold the perfect salvage kit.
- Throw 4 master salvage kits into the MF
- Bought from a vendor for 60s-1g
- 1 Master salvage kit 1 ecto 1 Elonian wine 1 mystic coin

In the original Guild Wars, there were only 5 available uses, but crafting with the methods which I just mentioned should give you at least 25-30 uses.

The reason I wanted perfect salvage kits into this game is because I have 2 armor sets on my engineer (Berserker and Knight) and I have tanky runes on my Berserker gear and glass cannon runes on my Knight gear (Superior runes) I don’t want to just delete these runes by simply adding new ones on the armor and overwrite the current ones, these runes are like 1g each and I just want to switch them with each other. I know that it was stupid of me to put these kinds of runes on these kinds of armor, but I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who wants perfect salvage kits. I’m definitely sure somebody lost over 10g because he/she wanted to completely switch builds (traits, armor, runes) and were forced to overwrite a gold worth of runes x6

Got some superior fire sigils on items I don’t want to break, would be nice to just get the sigil out instead of overwriting it.

Its a great idea but I think that it would remove another gold-sink so its unlikely.

They need gold-sinks like this for the economy, they mystic toilet being the most glorious example.

Isn’t that basically what black lion salvage kits do. 50% chance of rare materials and 100% chance of recovering upgrades. U can buy em of the gem store if u don’t have any left.

Black Lion kits destroy the item, rewarding you with some of the parts. He wants to split the runes/sigils off without destroying the item.

These gold sinks are just ridiculous, why are they almost everywhere? I still haven’t tried my luck on throwing rares into the mystic forge to get The Hunter due to hearing many people complaining about wasting 500g trying to get a precursor. I’m just trying to save as much money as I can so I can just simply buy the hunter, and a perfect salvage kit can help.

Without gold sinks, prices will increase and that 100g you have isn’t gonna be worth much anymore. Like, after removing gold sinks your income goes up to getting 500g in a week. By then your prec would’ve been 3000g.
