Guild Wars 2

- shard of mist essence
- master salvage kit
- journeyman salavge kit
- fine salvage kit
= Mistical salvage kit (or… something a little less easily confusable with mystic salvage kits…)

usable on ascended gear only
5 uses
ascended salvages drop a core (either completely random; or determined by the items prefix) with a chance at a lodestone (similar to the chance to get 3 ecto from a rare compared to 0+1+2 ecto/s)

solves two problems
-uselessness of mist components after a while
-too many rings
(and; if you consider lodestone prices to be a problem; deflation in them… drop rates could be balanced around the TP prices; so the -currently- more expensive lodestones/cores drop more often)

Personally my answer would be no. The main reason is that in my personal opinion the rewards for doing fractals compared with how difficult it is isnt right and there is allready too much attention to fractals due to the rewards there compared with other aspects of the game.

I would say to make these craftable with
- master salvage kit
- journeyman salavge kit
- black lion salvage kit
- any kind of lodestone

25 usages
can be used for salvaging ascended, exotic and legendary gear (not that the last will happen often, but if you want to salvage yours then go ahead). all level 75 or above

Besides acting as a BL-kit it also has a change of 1/10 to salvage a core. Besides that it has a change of 1/25 to salvage into a lodestone. Last off all when used on ascended items it has a change of 1/25 of dropping a shard of crystallized mists essence.

Besides getting it out of the FOTM-setting so it makes all of the game more interesting, you still get a bonus for FOTM-setting. I hitted a problem though cause it would cause a drop of sales of BL-kits, something Anet will never do, so i made them better BL-kits with a BL-kit needed for the recipte.

Last of all,
In my proposal I would change the name to either Mystical Black Lion Salvage kit or even better ’Gnashblade’s Salvage kit’ (named after the leader of the black lion trading company).

The Mystic Salvage Kit is made in the Mystic Forge. It would be Zommoros’s(?) Salvage Kit, not Gnashblade’s.

i like that it would help normalise lodestone prices (because obviously people would use the cheapest; causing higher demand and higher price), and considered black lion salvage kit in the recipe but it seemed… weird (though the recipe i proposed does seem a kitteneap)
… but something really needs to be done about mist components; they become useless after a while
