Guild Wars 2

Hi guys. I don’t know if this has been posted yet so I apologise in advance if it has been posted indeed.

I would like to see implemented in game an item that lets you salvage upgrades (like jewels, sigils and runes) without actually destroying the item. It will work like the Perfect Salvage Kit in the original GW. With the current salvage kits you always have to destroy the item (getting crafting materials in the process) if you want to get the upgrade. With this new item you would keep the item, get the upgrade but you wouldn’t get those crafting mats.

Example: You are using a Knight’s Exotic Weapon with a Superior Sigil of Fire. Then you buy a Berserker’s one and would like to put that Sigil on it. You have two solutions:

- Salvage the Sigil from the Knight’s set – this would destroy the weapon (a weapon that costed you gold and that you could use later on).
– Buy a new Sigil spending more gold (it’s an expansive one btw).

With this new salvage kit i’m proposing you would keep both the Weapon and the Sigil you have worked (hard) for.

I think this would be a great quality of life improvement. What do you guys think?

Salvage kits should simply work like in GW1.

1. Give you the option to extract upgrades (100% success)
   - Chance to keep the rest of the item when you extract upgrade based on the Kit being used.
2. Give you the option to extract crafting materials, wasting any remaining upgrades.
   - Chance to get more/rarer materials based on the Kit being used.

This means to get Upgrade + Crafting materials you’d ALWAYS need to spend at least 2 Kit uses.

Yeah! That would work too! In fact…i think your idea is better than mine.

Though one must admit, it would take more than just changing Salvage Kits like that.
The economy is what it is due to the way you destroy so much when trying to get a little.

With salvage kits working like suggested, you’d see more items in the market.
