Guild Wars 2

Cos they’re ascended, right? It feels wrong to junk em or vendor them for a few silver.

I’d suggest either Ascended salvage kits – break down rings into globs/ shards etc of condensed mists +/- other bits . Or perhaps the laurel merchant might want to buy up some more stock for 1 laurel each?

I would honestly be fine with them just being salvageable for ectos.

@Coopziana: Salvaging for essences would be as useless as having extra rings. Once you get to fractal level 25+, infused rings and essences are as common as uninfused rings. I have something like 10 shards of crystallized mists essences, and nothing to use them on. My fractals character has infused gear already, and my other characters dont do fractals so they dont need infused rings/backs.

If they put in a new use for essences, or increased the amount of mists essences needed, then salvaging for essences would be fine, but as currently set up, essences are almost as useless as the hundreds of rings you accumulate through running fractals. All the crafting recipes for ascended backs only require 1 shard, at level 25+ of fractals, shards drop frequently enough that you will never have a problem creating as many ascended back pieces as you would ever need/want. I’m all for adding more recipes that require the different types of essences though.

I totally agree

I support your plan to have something to do with all my ascended rings I’ve started just selling cause my bank is full…
