Guild Wars 2

Hello, here is the problem, I put 5 superior rune in a Karma (Temple) Heavy armor and non I can’t salvage them to get the runes back. Someone told me that I can’t do this because of the people who abused of this fact salvaging karma armors to get the runes of the original Temple armor… ok I understant that… but I have insert new type of runes and in my opinion i should be able to get em back without the help of transmutation stones.
Does anyone agree with me?

I completely disagree. Learn from your mistakes What rune was it by the way?

Eagle… Can You tell me why you disagree?
PS: there are ppl who can afford to learn by their mistakes and who can’t. I can’t.

It isn’t stopped because people could salvage for runes, it’s because people could salvage for ectos/mats and the devs have stated they do not want people to be able to convert karma to gold.

If there was some way that once you modify the armor you can salvage it only for the upgrades (and of course still destroy the original piece), I would not be opposed to it. I don’t know if it would be possible on their end though.

Transmute the rune onto a cheap piece of armor, then salvage.

It burns up a fine transmutation stone.. but at least you get your runes back.

And that’s why they introduced Orrian Boxes… oh wait.

This would be so open to exploitation though, just put in a cheap rune and salvage for ecto anyway.

Unfortunately I’ve tried this and other methods, it does not work.
Save your trans stones.
