Unsalvageable items sold in TP
That looks like one of the item sold by the NPC armorsmith.
Sorry about the huge bump, but I can’t find anywhere else to put this.
I was looking for items to salvage for general materials, when I found a few things which were neither soulbound, nor karma-bought, nor salvageable.
They all had prices in gold.
Here’s one:
Strong Dagger
level 55
vendor value 24c
Strength 357-379
+30 power
+22 precision
Rarity – basic
Is there a reason why I can’t salvage this? Am I missing something?
the white items bought from merchants can not be salvaged, but can be sold on the TP for some reason.
how to tell them apart: all the merchant items are a level multiple of 5 (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.), they are all white, and they are all cheaper on the TP than you would expect.
I recommend you not buy them.
I have no idea why they are sellable to begin with, what with anet being so reluctant to make other things useable (such as unable to salvage karma and wvw gear), but they are, so you should be an informed buy and not buy them.
