Essence of luck & Magic Find Question
I use basic salvage kits on blues/green. I have tried better salvage kits on them but I didn’t see any improvement so I stick with basic.
If you have lots of low tier crafting materials you could craft blues and salvage them for luck, I haven’t done any calculations on that so I don’t know if it is cheaper than buying blues on TP. Personally I just salvage all greens/blues I get from loot. It isn’t as fast as crafting/buying stuff for salvage, but I’m at 187% at the moment so I’m getting there.
Do not salvage ectos for luck, it is way too expensive.
In due time, all will serve the asura.
The difference between the values of crystalline dust and the ectoplasm needed to make them with Mystic kits is nearly zero. The main cost associated with salvaging ectoplasm is the 15% listing fee, if you’re selling the resultant crystalline dust.
The most financially efficient method is to salvage only as many ectoplasms with mystic kits as crystalline dusts you actually need, then get the rest of luck from blues and greens. Blues are best done with crudes, though basics are only very slightly more expensive. Masterwork kits tend to work well with greens, but if doing so you must mystic forge the runes/sigils you get into higher forms. If not intending to do anything with the sigils, then stick to crudes even for greens.
