it’s hard enough to try and level one crafting skill while using salvage kits on everything i can. there’s no way i could level two crafts and be making anything useful for myself since every craft uses much of the same components.

i stop at every tree/plant/mine i see and walk everywhere as opposed to teleport to get more mats.

just to level one craft i still have to buy mats from trade. now i have to use my money to buy the kits too. there’s just no way i can level even one crafting skill and have useful items from it because of no money.

why not let us use karma to buy gathering tools?

It wasnt intended in the first place, to answer your specific question.

I do however wish karma had more usefullness short of legendary and crappy karma gear.

This is an mmo forum, if someone isn’t whining chances are the game is dead.

i know that’s what they said but i still think it was a good idea to let ppl spend karma for gathering.

There are Heart vendors in every map that sell gathering tools for karma.

I don’t think I’ve found a heart vendor that sells master salvage kits. I may have missed them though.

If it helps, I’ve levelled one skill (jewellery) to 400 without purchasing anything – but that skill appears to be the easiest in terms of materials.

My second skill (huntsman) is hovering about 200 now – I’ve had to go back and find farming areas for the various accessories that constitute required ingredients for that level range – not easy at all.

I regularly find Karma heart merchants selling gathering gear, but I’d rather hog the karma for ‘later use’ (when I found out what it’s really useful for)

One tip: you only mention one character. Why not create an extra that can use the alternate materials to craft bags? Then when you find a vendor that supplies gathering tools, buy twice as many?

Are you sure Linsey Murdock, I thought a recent patch note said that there no more gathering tools for Karma in the game?

Yes, I am sure. I personally made the change that went into that patch and it was just for the Weaponsmith vendor who was mistakenly selling tools for karma. I was also personally in the rewards meetings for every map, in which we planned which Heart vendors would get which gathering tool. Granted, I wasn’t the one who hooked them all up, but I just did a quick check on the database and yes, they are still there.

Ok, good to know. Now I have to hunt down that list, thanks.

This was the real value. If there are no more master salvage kits available for karma, that’s a real kick in the shorts. Bad change if true.

Linsey, you’ve been choosing your words carefully. Is there a karma vendor that sells Master Salvage kits in GW2 today, and if not, is it your intention there will be, eventually?

Did any Karma Merchant ever sell high level Salvage kits? I never saw one, although I admit I would have missed since I was looking at only cooking mats.

In anycase, you can always just make a Mystic Salvage kit. It has 250 uses, and has the 2nd to the highest salvage rates like Master ones. I would prefer Black Lion ones though, because 50% rare and 100% upgrades are really nice.

In GW2, Trading Post plays you!

The Master Weaponsmith sold everything a “standard merchant” would normally sell which means all salvage kits and all harvesting tools.

Yes only one type of gathering tools can be found in one Heart vendors. This makes player run a long way to [collect] 3 type of gathering tools. why make such (awesome) change? Karma is useless now !
