Guild Wars 2

into ascended materials or fractal relics – yes I want this. same for other ascended items (amulets, back pieces, weapons, armor)

id like them to be salvaged, or even mystic forged, like toss 4 in, get a chance at an infused ring or some t7 mats.

Already a dozen threads on this.

…and as long as we dont get a satisfying answer on these issues we should make a 100 more..

They already said they are looking at how to do it recently.

Awesome, I didn’t see that statement. Thanks.

there are exactly zero instances of items that ended up being harmful to salvage. every single time there has been “should this be salvageable?” and they made it salvageable, it’s not been a disaster, but rather a good thing. what is to think about? at worst, everyone gets 10 deldrimor ingots and the price drops by 1g for 2 weeks before going back up.
The longer they wait, the more economic upheaval from any change there will be.

Yeah. I think they should make Ascended Rings be salvageable for 1 – 3 Ectos, plus chances for Dark Matter/Mist Essence. The new influx of Ectos would make them cheaper, but it would also make Crystalline Dust cheaper, encouraging more transmutation and spreading the cost of Ectos throughout more areas of the economy as more people start making rare skins or going for Ascended/Legendary items.

Maybe after they boost ascended rings drop rate in www so we can farm 100 rings too.

agreed. all areas of the game should have a chance of giving all types and grades of items. different items, for sure, but all items. (same ascended stats but different skins from fotm / wvw / pvp / pve / etc)

My opinion, if we can salvage them it should be like this:

• Guaranteed 1-3 ectoplasm
• An un-common chance of also getting Dark Matter & Crystallized Mist Essene.
• A race chance of getting also Dragonite Ore, Empyreal Fragments, and Bloodstone Dust.

… why has nothing ever been done about this? Was there a dev post discussing why this is like this for as long as its been?

Hopefully this will be an option once jeweler 500 comes out.

I only need ascended salvageable to be able to get the upgrades.

^ That and so many other reasons!

Bumping because it’s still relevant.

How about make them part of a precursor recipe

For example

100 Red rings of death (non infused) + 50 Vision crystals + 100 deldrimor steel ingots + 1 gift of exploration => Zap

or something else suitably silly. I kind of like the idea of using a gift of exploration though. I mean, getting 2 for 100% should mean that 1 can go into making the precursor while the other goes into the legendary.

You could play this game for 100 years and never get 100 red rings of death. Don’t model pre-cursor crafting on randomization that is that extreme (mystic clovers are already random enough).

That’s what the pristine fractal relics are for. That’ll be an easy 1100 relics. I guess you forgot that rings could be obtained through relics and wvw badges

1100 days to get a precursor… seems like a good solution.

I’d rather farm the 1k gold to buy a precursor from TP than do over 1k fractal dailies. Way faster too.

Bumping this old thread as it still needs to be addressed.
