Q:
Essence of Luck salvaged Q
Thats a good question. I think there should be differences between salvaging low lvl and high lvl items.
If it was so, that all give the same amount essence of luck, everyone would be selling their high lvl blue and green equipment to vendor, and for this money they will buy low lvl items for 2x less from trading post.
Personally, I think it would be good for the economy if low level blues and greens had a purpose, because right now everyone outlevels them and they become vendor trash. Higher level blues and greens stick around longer and thus keep a little value.
Value of lower level gear going up would be good for the economy, because it would make crafting possibly profitable. Sadly, it would make it harder for players that just want to buy their gear on the AH, but it would turn them toward crafting to make their gear for cheaper and possibly make a few silver on the side by selling their extra crafts.
If lower level gear doesn’t have the same odds as higher level gear, it just means that lower level gear becomes that much more useless, people have less reason to even list it on the AH, and new players/alts find it hard to get any gear off of the AH because of a lack of supply. While anything below level 80 blues and greens will go down in value, the max level gear will go up that much more. Imagine everyone buying up all the level 80 blues and greens just to salvage them. Their value will skyrocket, which may or may not be good for the economy. It may be good for max level characters that can sell their gear on the AH for a good profit now, but for everyone below max level, it won’t be good, in my opinion.
Overall, I’m hoping it is even across all blue and green gear.
Someone can link me where had been stated that it will not be affected by the quality if the kit? I’ve lost this =]
Hoping there isn’t a difference between low level and high level greens for the consumable. As far as I know, they are just as rare at low levels (seems rarer to me, but can’t be sure), and Anet seems to want us to salvage everything instead of just vendoring. With the same reward, I would expect low level greens to be similar in value to high level greens, especially if players are trying to raise magic find as fast as possible.
Well the video showed her using purple essence (what they’re going to ‘gift’ us), so my guess is there are different levels of quality and that’s where the gear’s level and quality might play a part.
