Guild Wars 2

Can we get a method to retrieve valuable runes from unsalvagable armour?

Old transmutation stones allowed to transfer valuable runes from karma / badge of honour, new transmutation charges – do not. Could we get back the other “functionality” of old transmutation stones – ability to transfer runes between armours (with the loss of source armour piece)? Even just ability to use Black Lion Salvage Kits to salvage what’s currently unsalvagable (e.g. lift the restrictions on BLSK) would be nice…

Perhaps one could extract runes with upgrade extractors (haven’t tested it), but as it’s cheaper to buy a new rune in the first place it’s not a viable solution. Had I known I’d be in this mess now, I’d have transfer out all my valuable runes from karma / wvw armours before wardrobe went live :/

Upgrade extractors should either be dropped in price or be 25 charge like BL salvage kits. There’s no relevant upgrades in the game worth more than 250 gems, which makes the current concept of an upgrade extractor ridiculous.
