Guild Wars 2

Guys I’ve salvaged 5 rares from my fractal run today and got no ectoplasm. Have they nerfed ecto drop rate or is it out of the game? This makes me really scared. Cannot handle this much change in the game really ruining my immersion if I cant get and ecto from every rare.

You have a chance to get ecto(s) from Rares. There is no guarantee you will receive an ecto from salvaging.

I am a bit puzzled how receiving ectos from salvaging impacts any immersion, though.

Pretty sure this is a troll thread. Let me check….

Yup. Definitely troll thread.

The game is broken. God help us all.

Oh! My bad. =P

Last 20 items salvaged yielded 19 ectos. Longest run of no ectos was 4 items.

I’ve gotten 45 ecto from 20 rares and gone 30 items without one.

Seems to be working.

farm bl keys, buy bl chests, open. You have a chance of getting a bl slavage kit(or you can buy one with gems)
These things are fantastic for getting ectos!

No…it’s only fantastic way how to waste a BL kit

If it makes you feel better the last 5 items salvages was where I had my run of four misses.

Random is random and the average number of ectos per salvage using a large sample with a master or mystic salvage kit is in the 0.8 to 0.9 range. Last time I looked at my totals (been tracking for a while) there was a 35-40% chance each time to get 0 ectos.

When you’ve got 15 of them and don’t really care it’s a good way to get ecto.

This^^^^

I’ve gotten a few, I normally use it on salvaging exotics/rares that I cant sell. Almost always get an ecto, and often 2-3.
