Guild Wars 2

Dropping many ascended rings in FotM. Problem is more rings than I can use.
Since they are account bound and can’t be salvaged, they are useless.
Suggestion: ANet could sell for gems, a salvage kit for ascended items…say maybe it would give you vials, globs or shards of essence and maybe a higher tier mat …….
Seems simple enough…but maybe not. Just hate not being able to utilize all these great drops.
Any other ideas?

Just make them salvagable for ectos. They’re another tier of gear (armor and weapons will be coming at some point too), and currently rares give 0-3 ectos, exotics 0-5 ectos. Continuing the trend, salvaging Ascended gear should give 0-7 ectos.

And a salvage kit quality chance to get a mist essence.

This would probably lead to a lower drop rate of ascended rings then, but its not like we don’t have a dozen already. +1

To clarify, this post was created to possibly get ANet to allow us to salvage Ascended Rings for Mist Essence, and if they so felt a higher tier mat…this would potentially make $$ for ANET in selling the “Ascended Salvage Kit”
There is already a method for ectos… this is intended to make our Ascended upgrading more accessible. Keep the comments going guys…numbers speak volumes

Yes, absolutely. Bump the $#@! outta this thread. I’m sick of getting Solarias and Lunarias and rings with magic find on them, only to have them take up space in my bank in hopes that one day we will be able to salvage them for mists essence/relics/ectos/ANYTHING. Reduce the drop rates from daily chests if you have to, but PLEASE let us do something worthwhile with these unwanted/needed rings (as precious mists essences are hard to come by).

Well at the very least I wish I could put for rings in the forge to possibly get someting I needed, but not being able to salvage them makes me feel like getting the ring was a waste of time. They deffenatly need give the rings some kind of secondary value.

Sure hate to see this thread die….We really need to be able to do something with Ascended Rings dropped in FotM. Its a shame we can salvage junk like skins and such but not a valuable item such as a Fractal ring. Please ANet give us an option….
And Community please bump this thread so maybe we can have an improvement in FotM. Thanks and cya in game….. Jinx

Please allow us to salvage Mist essences and/or Ectos from ascended rings, or allow us to throw them in the Mystic Toilet and maybe get a useful ring…

salvageing for mist essence would be nice
using pristine relics for mist essence would be nice
ectos would also be nice but not necessary.
Having content gated completely through your luck in getting mist essences is kinda silly

I don’t think a special salvage kit should be required for ascended items but I agree that we should be able to salvage them; at the very least we have a chance to get ectos if we get a ring we don’t need in a daily.

Also, if this were to come to pass, I support the idea of possibly salvaging mist essences form ascended items. The drop rate on those things is ridiculous; we need more ways to get them.

Or can be used in Mystic Forge to get second chance to get an ascended ring you want.

four bad (read: magic find) rings for a chance to get one ring that you wanted sounds fine for me.
