Guild Wars 2

What is the best way to get black lion salvage kits? I want to make ascended gear. Do I really have to use gems?

What do black lion salvage kits have to do with ascended gear?

The middle-of-the-week login reward that gives select items from the gem store has given me 3 BLSKs already.

May want to make sure you keep logging in every day to get them that way.

Otherwise, key farming is still an option, but you are much less likely to get a BLSK from it as there are quite a lot more possible items that a chest can drop.

You don’t need Black Lion kits to get ascended materials.
My best advice, if you don’t want to buy kits, is to use the Mystic Forge to make Mystic Salvage Kits.

lucky you… I get repair canisters….

Oh, I presume yoyo want them for that dark matter you can get from exotics?

Rare salvage kits are perfectly fine to get Dark Matter.

Mystic salvage kits salvage dark matter as well. Black Lion kits are far too valuable to use to farm dark matter.

What others have said.

But if you are still after black lion salvage kits then check here under “Acquisition”. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Salvage_Kit

Key farming on a regular consistent basis got me a bunch of these. Typically by the time I did enough key farm runs to get one ticket, I got a black lion salvage kit also.

I get the other useless-to-me things often as well, but yes, I’m lucky I’ve managed to get 3 kits so far. I don’t use them that often anymore though.

I’d imagine the recommendation of others to use a Mystic Kit to get dark matter is a good idea as they are readily available and relatively cheap to make. Personally, I only use a BLSK on an exotic if there is a rune/sigil on it that I can resell for good coin and I don’t want to risk not getting it by using a Mystic Kit.

Thanks for the advice guys. I guess i didnt clarify that I had wanted a blsk for the dark matter. Got my hands on a mystic salvage kit for now.
